The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in

is treasured in the memory and the
blessed. Hence it is that so much is
heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use of the great alterna

with any disease of kidneys, liver or

Those who are interested in earn
ing something of the single tax
theory or plan of taxation proposed
by the diciples of Henry George,
will find an instructive article on the
subject, published on the 4th page of
the MIDLAND JOURNAL. The sub
ject is steadily gaining in interest
and is attracting much attention in
al parts of the country. Hundreds
of Single Tax Clubs have been
formed and their number is con-
stantly Increasing The discussion
of economic questions bids fair to
supersede the bushwhacking speeches
of political demagogues, who befog
every political question while they
impart no real information. 1t is q
gratifying sign of the times to find
farmers in their associations mani
Testing a deep interest in all of these
questions pertaining to political
economy, and as they begin to thi nix
and talk they assert a great deal
more independence in political mat
tiers. Whether they agree or dis
agree with their advocates they
should all learn to understand those
questions, and then form and ex
press their opinions.

IF the "Glbbs" Increase, What?

John GlOOS Is an OLD time hepuD.
lican and one of the leading whole
sale and retail merchants and
importers of dry goods, of New
York. Mr.. Gibbs has been one of
the favorites of the Tribune, on &C.
count of his active political work.
He was 80 enthusiastic a Harrison
man that he closed his wholesale
house the day of the big parade so
that all of his clerks might attend
Mr.. Gibbs now talks in this way:
sit is a barbarous and iniqulous tariff
and blot on civilization. Just as the
American people demanded of Lincoln the
emancipation proclamation, they will short
ly go TO the polls and demand tariff reform.
An ad valorem tariff does not
protect and a specific tariff discriminates
against the masses. What is the use Of
charging 40 per cent ad valorem when you
can only 80 per cent? What protection
have honest merchants against those who
evade the law? When an importer goes 10
Europe and buys good, the foreign manu-
facturer asks him, How shall invoice this
for the custom house,? AT valuation the
honest merchant replies. CONSERVATION and
astonishment Of the manufacturer! He is so
used to differentiation. AS a matter OF
e. Al. &c, al pInla Of Ic
against our sro,ecive tariff, and foreign
manufacturers willingly enter into collision
with our importers TO evade to duty.
How does specific ta.iff work? Mrs.
Aston, who buys the very finest qualities OF
pure silk, will pay less duty than the poor
woman whose silk is mixed with chemicals.
The finer grades Of woolens weigh less than
than the coarser. The specific tariff per
pound will discriminate against the servant
girl. They talk of putting specific tariff
on gloves. Some glove cost $3.50 dozen,
and some $24 Here we have another in
stance of discrimination against the masses.

yet. The free trade cry has retarded tariff
reform But there is an educational pro-
cess going on which will give US the needed
remedy IN few years."
The republican party must get
back to where it stood when Gar
field commenced his administration,
and drop that shallowest of all pre-,
texts, of increasing tariff per cent
ages to protect wages" The want
of more currency is the disease which
atflcts the nation. All are at last
beginning to admit this. and the
tariff IS losing it's power to conjure.
Even abso ute free trade wouldn't
effect the general wages of the work
ing people of the country to the
amount of a penny. 1t would break
up some manufacturing establish.
ments and throw the hands employ
ed in them out of work for time;
but sufficient volume of money to
conduct the business of the country
would stimulate business and in
crease employment of labor every
where, and not in spots merely. as
putting up or down the tariff does.
The tariff is political humhug and
the sooner plain people begin to tell
blathering politicians so the better
it will be for all.

and the main hall. This attack re-
sulting in failure, scaling ladders

forced through an upper window, and
the citadel being won no furthe- re-
sistance was encountered, the main
approaches were soon cleared and
the attacking party headed by the
MUSES. rushed in.
The association was soon hammer
ed to order by the president, Mr..
Everist, and necessary preliminaries
having been complied with including
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Conway and

The Carpet Manufacturers Protest.

The Carpet Manufacturers Protest.
The Carpet Manufacturers Asso
citation sent protest to the Com.
mlttee of Ways and Means against
placieg duty on carpet woods. In
their protest they point out that the
duty on these coarse woods drive the
manufacturers to the use of s1oddy
and cotton. On this head they say ::
THAT cteItain grades of third class
woods are used IN the manufacture of
certain grades of clothing to lin
tied extent is not denied. This has
always been the fact, and it is fact
also that these woods do not now, to
any greater proportion than always,
enter in the manufacture of clothing
As an element in depressing the
price and curtailing the market for
American wool they are al insls-
nlticant and inconsenquential factor
as compared with the increasing use
of shoddy, cotton and other substi-
tutes for wool.
This latter has grown to immense
proportion, and it is entirely over
looked by the advocates of the re
strictive policy. Nothing has con
tributed so much to its increased use
as the duties on wool, compelling
many manufacturers to resort to this
device for of1setting the high cost OF
their raw materials, who would not
otherwise use it
ut is safe to say that to day there
is pound of shoddy and cotton
used for every pound of secured wool
used in the strictly wool manu-
