The republican members of Congress, in
the preparation of their tariff bill, seem to
have been possessed with the idea that poor,
and not rich, people should bear the whole
expense of the government, as the articles
they must consume 10 order to live are the
ones most heavily taxed, the rule observed
throughout the whole bill being that the
cheaper the article the higher the duty,
and the dearer the article the lower the
duty. Ia other words, the poor are taxed
more for what they use Than the rich, who
are better able to stand taxation.-Aler.

ESCAPE OF CHILD OF Mr. D. ALT. COOKE

In New York City number of horrible cases
have been reported of persons being killed and
burned up by coming In contact with live
electric wires. A case that might have proved
fatal to child of Mr.. D. ALI. Cooke of JACKS SON.
Vile. Fla, a brother of Mrs. Frank Davis of

"This morning at about 6 o'clock the family
of D. ALT Cooke, of Springfield, were awakened
by a sharp report like that of pistol. On in.
wire had broken off near tree in their pre-.
misses on First street and lively sparks were
issuing from the end An hour later little
Ashton Cooke wandered out in the yard and
accidentally stepped on the wire aud In q
moment he uttered piercing shrek and was
thrown to the earth writhing in agony.
The child's cries attracted Mr.. Cookies atten-
ton, and, realizing the danger of his child, he
dashed forward to the now 1nsensiblo form and
endeavared TO pull the boy of. but he instantly
received a terrible shock and was also thrown
to the ground. Again he made an attempt and
again he received terrific electric shock.
Finally. in his desperation. he made third
and successful attempt and pulled the boy of
the wire.
The little fellow was tenderly carried to the
house, and finally brought back to conscious
| ness, although 1t was close shave.
Reader, remember in future to look out for
these live electric light wires and never touch

For number of years I was afflicted
with biliousness which almost destroyed
my health. Il +Siisd various remedies,
1Grc nothing afforded me any relief until.
I began to take Ayers Pills."-G. 8.
Wanderlich, Scranton, Pa.
81 have used Ayers Pills for the past
thirty years, and am satisfied should
not be alive to-day if it had not been
for them. They cured me of dyspepsia
when all other remedies failed, and their
occasional use has kept me in healthy
condition ever since."-T. P. Brown,
Chester, Pa.
Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, 1 at last tried Ayers Pills,
and deem it both duty and a pleasure
to testify that have derived great ben
eft from their use. For over two years
past I have taken one of these Pills
every night before retiring. Iwould not
willingly be without them" &c. W.

Denfncss can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the MUCOUS lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets intlamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking

Never was Il more brilliant opportun-
ity offered a defeated candidate to
prove himself loyal Republican, than
on account of recent political develop
ments in the south part of the county.
The question is, will he see the oppor-
Unity and trample under foot any insin-
uations of sore head that may be made?
We hope and believe he will.-Perrys-
burg Journal.
The JOURNAL, unintentionally, does
Capt, Bryant an injustice by intima-
ting that he was likely to prove himself
anything else than a loyal Republican.
Ed. Bryant is made of sterner stuff.
He was the first man on the convention
ground to greet N. S. Jones and proffer
him his earnest support in the cam
paign. He is now Il member of the
County Executive Committee, and his
coat is off for the whole ticket. Let
it be understood now and forever, that
Capt. Edward S. Bryant is a Republi-
can from the crown of his head to the
soles of his feet.
The JOURNAL has not Intentionally
or otherwise, injured Capt. Bryant in
any manner. 1t was reported in this
corner of the county that the Captain
had bolted the nomination of Jones
and Stahl, and the stand taken by the
Cygnet Gusher and the N. B. Times,
was quoted as authority, it being
claimed that these two papers were
the organs of Capt. Bryant. We did
not believe the captain was made of
boiling material and only said what
we did for the purpose of bringing out
IL reply from some of the other papers.
Before our papers had reached their
destination, we had the pleasure OF
meeting Capt. Bryant in the rooms Of
the Republican Executive committee
where we said to him personally,
substantially what we had printed, and
were pleased to learn from him that he
is actively engaged in the fight for the
entire Republican ticket, and any
insinuations that he is not in the field
and just as good II Republican as ever,
are false, just as we believed them to be.

fill the public offices and handle the
public's money. He did not think 1t
wise to set up n separate political
party. but without regard to political
preferences thought the farmers
should use their power to nominate
and elect men who would assist and
best serve the interests of the farming
classes and learn to use their political
power to bring out honesty, justice
and political economy, and the time
will soon come when the farmer will
see grand fruition of his hopes.
We regret we are unable to give
complete report of Colonel Brigham's
speech. 1t was full of good points with
no effort at political coloring, and 1t
was remarked by many that the Colo
mel had made hosts of friends on this
occasion. His audience gave excellent
attention, and were highly compli-
mentary in their remarks concerning
the speech and the gentleman.
After the close of the address the
choir rendered an excellent song, and
the band favored the audience with
several admirable selections.
The committee were disappointed in
not being able to procure more speak
ers, but the excellence of the Colonel's
address fully made up the loss of the
others.
