est Norwegian Cod Liver Oil combined with
the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda with

The Dependent Pension bill passed the
Senate on Monday by vote of 81 to IS.
1t will now go to the President for his sig
nature. Senator German, in his very Wig
orous and able opposition TO it stated, on
the basis Of figures that cannot well be re-
futed, that "prodigality aud extravaganza
in the matter Of pensions will leave your
treasury bankrupt in 1891. 1t will take
nearly the entire amount received from GUS
toms and from internal revenue as now pro-
vided for by law to pay pensions. There are
are sixty-fve other millions of people inter
ested this matter, and they will stop to inquire
why we are bankrupting them to an extent
never contemplated for the soldiers of the
late war"
Mr.. Blair.-"Do you doubt the ability OF
the government to replenish the treasury to
the extent of paying the just claims of those
who saved the country and the treasury
alike9"
Mr.. Gorman.-"I do not doubt the ability
of the country to do anything, but prudence
would require that pension legislation does
not run into such extravaganza as to IN
crease the taxes of an overburdened people.
We are now on the threshold of bankrupt
ing the treasury or of increasing taxation"

Secretary Blaine, in his recent argument
before committee of the L. S. Senate,
demonstrated TO the members thereof that
the removal Of the duty on sugar, and the
increase of the duty on beans and other
farm products which are not imported
would not relieve the farmers from the de-
preston in prices The farmer does not use
raw sugar, but refined sugar, and the duty
on the latter is increased by the Mckinley
bill. He endeayored to convince the COM
mittee that if they wanted to do something
to benefit the farmer they could do it best
by providing him a profitable market for
his surplus products, by removing the duty
on Central and South American products.
Truly Mr. Blaine is 4 second Daniel come to
judgment, though his advent is rather late.
What he says is as true as gospel, but true
of countries to the south of the United
States, why not, and for a stronger reason,
of those with which this country already has
a large trade?-ALerandria Gazette
