IowA's SENIOR SENATOR.
A Representative of All That Is Worthiest
in the Republican Greed.

a Representative of All That Is WOrthiest
in the Republican Creed.
Mr.. Allison represents in himself all
that is wOrthiest and most inspiring in
the Republican creed. In his service of
a quarter of century in one or other
branch of Congress he has shown pub
lie spirit, an intelligence and resource
fulneSs which have made him one of the
most prominent and useful members of
the National Legislature. Throughout
his whole career he has been earnest,
broad minded and courageous. The
petty prejudices of locality which have
blinded the mental vision and warped
the Judgment Of many of his fellow
Legislators from different parts of the
country can never be chargeable to him.
This proneness to rise above section in
his attitude toward public questions has,
it is true, put weapon in the hands OF
his foes both in and out of his party.
He has been stigmatized as an Eastern
man," who is pledged to the interests Of
Wall street rather than to those of the
people who have chosen him to office.
This charge is due to his action on the
silver question and other monetary mat
tiers. The fact however, that he has
not by any means pleased Wall street in
these questions proves the accusation
to be false. Extremists on each side of
every question of broad National con-
Germ oppose him because he takes the
conservative, sensible and patriotic
view that there is no necessary or es-
sential antagonism between the inter
ests of the different localities, and that
policy which will work injury to any
section can never bring great or perma-
nent prosperity to the rest of the coun-
try.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

HreS-Er1oe Claims ControVerted by His
tory and Experience.
Roger @. Mills was at Boston the
other day to make an address a. free
trade banquet and among other things
he said:
When the home market is shut in by Chinese
walls or Boston port bills, or Morrill, tariffs i'm
pOrtation is shut on; that shuts OF exporta-
zion, the. -srows down the prices Of agricult-
ural products, that lessons the capacity Of half
the population 70 buy, that restricts consump-
ton, that decreases production, that shuts out
employment, lowers wages decreases wealth
and brings blight and mildew on the land
Well, We have had Chinese walls, F"
If you choose to call Morrill, tariffs by
that name, steadily for almost thirty
years, but they have not decreased
wealth" nor brought "blight and mill
dew on the land" On the contrary, this
country is incvmparably more pros
porous than arr free-trade country on
the face of the globe.
You may assert if you choose, as Mr..
Mills does, that the protective policy
will throw down the prices of agricult-
ural products, lessen the capacity Of
half the people TO buy, restrict con-
blight and mildew on the land" You
may yell this assertion till you are
hoarse; but the fact nevertheless, is
that the protective policy has not done
any thing of the sort.
AS a matter of experienced fact the
capacity not only of half but of all this
country has enormously increased dur
ing the last thirty years-increased in
the per capita average as we'll as in the
mass. The fact is that production has
increased; employment has not been
shut out but expanded, wages increased,
and instead of blight and mildew there
has been upon the whole the most pros
porous era that this nation ever en-
joyed.
What's the use of Mr.. Mills saying
that protection will do precisely the
contrary to what it has done?
Mr. Mills may guess that this country
would have been more prosperous than
it has been if it had had free trade in
stead of protection. That is Mr.. Glad
stones guess But protectionists have
the same right to guess that the country
would not have been so prosperous.
But the fact is that the country has
been prosperous. That can not be gain
sad.
If protection is so ruinous, as Mr..
Mills, Mr.. Gladstone and other free
traders allege, then it should have
ruined this country long ago. The way
in which the free-traders try to get
around this fact, by saying that nothing
but the phenomenal resources of the
country have prevented ruin, will not
satisfy people of common sense and in
telligence. 1t never has satisfied them,
and it never will until they see the
ruins.
The free-traders should possess their
souls in patience. Whenever the ruin
of protection is felt in this country,
Mr.. Mills will not have to be making
speeches to free-trade clubs nor Mr..
Gladstone writing free-trade magazine
articles in order to secure the repeal of
the protective system City ia. }

The Only Basis on which Our Foreign
Trade Can Re Restored.
Senator Frye has introduced two bills
intended to promote the postal and
commercial interests of the United
States, and for the encouragement Of
commerce, the protection of navigation,
and the improvement of the merchant
marine and the foreign trade. The first
bill authorizes the PosuKSster-General
to contract for the carrying of mails be-
tween the United States and foreign
ports in American bRjlt and owned
steamships, TO be constructed on models
approved by the Secretary of the Navy,
and with sufficient strength to be armed
in emergencies, and to be used as Gov
eminent transports or cruisers in the
event of war. Compensation for mail
service by irst-class ships of this char
acter is not TO exceed six dollars per
mile on outward voyages, and for the
pecond-class not more than four dollars
per mile. Provisions are also made for
the shipping of American-born boys as
cadets or apprentices on such vessels,

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
n. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on

ABOUT THE CURRENCY.

During the recent Congressional
campaign there were in several dis.
tricts Of Georgia spirited discussions
as to the currency. The difference in
the estimates given by the candidates
in these districCs, WIS very striking
In one district, for Instance, one
candidate claimed that the total cir
culating medium in the country is
only about So per capita, while his
opponent contended that il is about
e22. The recent report OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury would
seem to settle this question, 1t states
that the total amount OF money avail
able for general use is 81 ,452, 100000.
This includes gold, silver, gold and
silver certificates, national bank and
treasury notes, nickles and coppers.
The gold and silver deposited in the
Treasury against which redeemabe
notes have baen issued is, of course,
not counted in this estimate. On the
basis OF the recent census, therefore,
the amount Of money available tor
circulation is about S23.25 per
capita.
