What on Earth

Is the reason people will not, can not,
or do not see any difference in cheap
nostrums put up by Cheap John houses
or irresponsible parties at great profit,
rather than take a medicine of world
wide reputation and one that is giving
universal satisfaction at equal prices?
No medicine in the world is giving
such unparalleled satisfaction for puri-

THE BINDING TwINE OUTRAGE.

As the call for the farmers meeting
at the CITY Han, Mineral Point, on
Saturday, Feb. 9th, originated from
suggestions made by The Western
Rural the following editorial from that
journal will be timely reading:
Allowing for the Selfshness of
human nature, and forglying men for
much because of natural weakness, it
is time to draw the line when a combi-
nation is formed among those who are
already engaged in a financially profit
able robbery of farmers to simply fleece
them alive. The price of binding
Irvine was crowded up last year until
decent man was ashamed of the
sOullessness of men. It would seem
rs if there should he enough respect
for the foundation industry of the
country, even among thieves, to pre-
vent men from deliberately scheming
to rob the farmer of every dollar he
can produce. But we have long been
face to face with the fact that those
who supply the agricultural classes
with what they need, never intend to
loosen their grip of their own free will.
This proposed binding Irvine outrage
is one of the most tlagrant iniustices
that has ever been contemplated, and
there is no other way to meet il than
to take the animal 10y the horns he
roicaIly and twist of its head. We
can get along without binding Irvine
for season, and if wo do, there will
never be another binding Irvine trust
III long rs the world stands, and the
price Of Irvine will never again he as
high as il has been. Not only that,
but one seasons refusal to buy Irvine
will show the power of farmers to pro-
tcct their own interests to an extent
that will spread Generalization among
other classes of robbers, and set them
10 trembling too.
$50 far as We have been able to hear
from wheat growers, they gladly enter
into the plan announced by The Rural
last week, To cut the wheat and stack
It loose. Ii will pay Ia endure the
little Inconvenience which NAV result,
and the net profit will be rs great I'M
der any circumstances, as ii would be
il we paid twenty cents a pound foI
Irvine. The Rural will do all it can tO
awaken a union of action in this mat
ter, and hopes To hear Immediately
from those who will enter upon this
work of throttling one pernicious, rob,
hing trust. If our readers will make
IN effort To win supporters to the plan
in their immediate neighborhoods. and
other farm papers will heartily enlist
in the work, for once we can array the
farmers with solid front against rs
graSplng scheme as men ever con
templated.
While the above article is published
To awaken nm interest in its subject
matter, The Democrat would profess
against the proposition "to cut tn,
grain and stack il loose" as being ri
eXtrayagant and impracticable under
taking The meeting above referred
To should be largely attended, however
and better plan Of opposition may b,
suggested 10y farmers present and acted
upon by the meeting. The Democra
Will take the liberty of pointing on

The Situation at Johnstown

JoHNsrowN, Pa, June S.-This communi.
ty is in wild state of excitement as a result

affair has been placed upon the South Fork

some of the people in this vicinity that trou-
BILE is feared for W. S. Boyer, superintendent
at the cottages on the lake. Already sever
al of the pretty villas have been broken into
by marauders and the furniture demolished.
The boats have been stolen in broad day
Infatuated crowd of liquor-crazed fellows.
The fellows who broke into the cottages
have not been discovered 1t was evident
robbery was not intended, for the mischief
was purely wanton. Affairs at present are
assuming serious aspects. The coroner's
jury that was in session yesterday at Nine
veh terminated its labors in the afternoon.
The verdict has been fully prepared and on
ly lacks the signatures Of the Jurors before
being given publicity. 1t is understood that
the jury, after reviewing at length the sue
cessive breaks and careless repairs in the
dam in past years, declares the executive
committee of the South Fork Fishing Club
guilty of gross, if not criminal, negligence.
To-day opened with heavy rain and an
early morning thunder storm, and the tenn.
perature is cool. The work. If recovering
the bodies from the debris is being prose-
cuted with vigor. All earnestly pray for
continuance of pleasant weather.
