journalist in agricultural circles, writes
April 18th, 1889: Some FIVE years ago

Since that time | have had no return
of the rheumatic troubles, although
frequently exposed to the influences
that produced former attacks. Several
of my friends had similar experience
and are firm in their conviction that 5.

searching power of this medicine is
shown in the fact that it developed a

in my blood over thirty years ago, and

a severe attack of malarial fever,
which kept me in bed for three

The New York Herald hits the nail
Squarely on the head when it says:
F." What is wanted in this country is
business enough 10 keep all the mills
and furnaces going. That will insure
plenty Of work and good wages for the
laboring class. But YOU can't have
these desirable results until America
has the whole world for a market
And you can't have the whole world
for a market under the present pie
ayune policy of the Republican party"
That is sound Democratic doctrine
We hope that The Herald will stick to
its text and never grow weary in its
campaign of education.
