be ample to meet the ordinary annual demands

revenue. This Is better than to reduce our income

Ing choice between another change of our revenue
laws aud increase of the public debt. 1t is quite
possible am sure. to effect the necessary reduction
in our revenues without breaking down our protec-
tive tariff or seriously injuring any domestic in-

Good Advice in a Nutshell.

| There are four organs in the hu-
 man body which are vital in their functions and delicate in their struc- ture, and which give us an immense amount of trouble. These are the Heart. Stomach, Kidneys and Liver.
 If they give us trouble it is because they neglect or abuse them, and of
 course we must bear the consequent ces. The diseases of these organs are very nemcrouS and often dangerous. Luckily we now have a remedy which
 has proved just the thing for thls
 diseases. It is Pe-ru-na, a purely vegetable compound, that strikes
 right at the root of the whole trouble.
 The preparation was used ny Dr. | Hartman most successfully m his general practice for years before il was placed before the general public; :; and it was its remarkable success in hs practice that led him to place it before the public for the benefit of mankind everywhere. As Tonic it is uneNcelied, building up the sys- tenn weakened by constant toil, either mental or physical. As a remedy for Lung Troubles, such as Con- sumption, it has accomplished won- ders. Its actions on the Kidneys is mild and effective. Its use will keep the blood pure. Regulate the Bow els, if necessary. with Man-a-lin. Price sl per bottle; 6 for s5. For sale by Geo. w. Terry.

U. l.. P. and Democracy---the Diff
ference

In a clear, succinct and condensed form. we wish to show dispasson- ately. the difference between the |. l.. P, and the Democratic party, as enunciated by their respective plat forms. on the most importrnt issues of the day.
 On the greatest question of all, the tariff. the l.. l.. F. is silent in It's platform. while it's leaders in public speeches, favor high protective tar if. Democracy says reduce and re- form the high, war tariff, which IS enriching the Eastern manufactur- CTS. combines and monopOlics at the expense of the farmer and mechan- ics. who are the consumers.
 The l.. l.. P. platform favors the ''dircct issuance of money to the people" or ''loaned to citizens upon land security" and free coinage of silver" Democracy is opposed to wildcat schemes of all sorts and q appreciated currency, as the first two positions above would bring about, but favors the free coinage of silver, and good money.
 The l.. l.. P. platform says: We demand the passage a service pen sion bill to every hoporably dis charged soldier and sailor of the United States" Democracy favors only pensioning soldiers and sailors wounded or disabled while in ser vice." Pensions under restrictions, have been increasing rapidly, now amounting to S1O0, ,000, ,000 annually, but if all restrictions were removed as the U. l.. r. desire, would quick ly double or thribblc the large amount now paid out, and bankrupt our government. We are already paying more to a dead and living ar my every year, than any European nation, who keeps up standing ar my of over 300, ,00O men.
 The |. l.. F. favor the govern ment owning all means of commu- nication and transportation '-tele- graphs, telephones, railroads, steam ships, etc. Democracy Is opposed to all this, believing that such big debt would be a curse, and the many thousands of additional office holders would not only corrupt but destroy our republican form of government
 The l.. l.. F. favor women Suf- frage. Democracy opposes women entering the cesspool of politics.
 These are the principal points of difference between the so-called |. l.. r. and the Democratic party. We might add that there is little difference between this so-called l., l.. F. and the Re publican party, and in all the above points they agree, Last year the two co-alesced in the State election that is the Republicans took up the |. l.. F. ticket and tried to elect it.. Now, reader, compare the two and choose between them. We leave the further consideration of the subject with you-column after column could be written.
