Sarsaparilla will certainly prevent all such
eruptive tendencies. 1t is a sure and safe
antidote for blood poison arising from what
ever source, and its use when needed should
not be unnecessarily delayed Thousands
who found extensively advertised blood
medicines to have no efficacy whatever, are
rejoicing in the fact that Bulls Sarsaparilla
is an exception, and that good health invari-
ably follows its use Syphilitic and scrofu-
lous symptoms disappear, the skin becomes
clear and free from pimples, the digestion
is improved, aches and pains cease, the
weight of the body becomes greater, the
flesh more solid, lucrative and consump,
tive tendencies disappear, the power of en-
durance is increased, weakness, dizzy spells
and unnatural fatigue vanish, in a word the
user of Bulls Sarsaparilla becomes pict-
ure of good health and strength. Try it.

which under the law may be taken by
the United States upon payment of their
value, in case OF emergency.
Senator Frye's second bill gives Q
bounty of one-third of a mill per ton of
gross measurement for each mile navi-
gated by American vessels, sail or
steam, engaged in the foreign carrying
trade, with premiums for safe and swift
sailing. These vessels must afford IA
cilities as required by the Postmaster
General for the transmission of mails,
must also carry American apprentices,
and may be used as naval auxiliaries in
case of war. Both of these bills are in
the line of popular feeling, and We trust
that they, or something like them, will
be taken up by Congress and pressed to
passage.
While England, France and even
Spain have largely increased their mer-
chant marine and their foreign COM
merce by granting subsidies, an unac-
countable spirit of opposition has exist
ed in the United States to do any thing
that might look like support of our de-
generate merchant marine. Now that
public feeling has been awakened on
this question, and Republican Admin
is:ration has come into power, let no
caviling of theorists AMI free traders be
listened to. A restoration of our foreign
trade and domestic commerce should
mark business administration, such as
President Harrison proposes to give the
peoDle.-Frank LeSlie's Weekly.

MR.. INGALLS,, ADVICE.
The Kansas Senator's Able Discussion of
the Negro Problem.

Thu Kansas Senator's Able Discussion of
the Negro Problem.
Senator Ingalls, was at his best in his
discussion of the negro problem the
other dav. 1t had been given out that
he would speak ON Senator Buffers
proposition to cart all the negroes in the
United States away to Africa, and the
Senate galleries contained a liberal
sprinl1ling of colored men who mani
Tested very natural desire to hear all
that was to be said on the subject. Mr..
Ingalls, declared that under the shield
of the American government ''every
faith had found its shelter, every creed
a sanctuary, and every wrong a re-
DRESS" and went on to quote an extract
from a famous speech delivered by the
late John Bright during the civil war,
which is quite worthy of reproduction
here:
Il sc another and brighter vision before my
gaze. II may be a vision, but cherish it.
see ore vast confederation stretching from the
frozen north to the glowing south, and from the
wild lillows OF the Atlantic TO the calmer
waters Of the Pacific main; and see one peo-
pie one language, one law and one faith; and
all over that wide continent the home OF free
dom and a refuge for the oppressed Of every
race and every cline"
Continuing the Senator dwelt on the
importance of the negro problem, and
declared that it's solution would demand
all the resources and craftsmanship OF
the present and of the future to prevent
a crisis that might become catastro-
phe. He declared that the negroes were
the political equals of the whites and
praised them for their fidelity during
the war; and then reviewed the recent
election at Jackson, Miss, where the
law was taken posses sion of by 'toughs
with Winchester rifles and held through
out the day." The negroes of the South
had practically been abandoned to their
fate, but the Senator warned the people
that sooner or later there would be
armed collision between the races. The
South is standing upon volcano. The
South is sitting on the safety valve.
They are breeding innumerable John
Browns and Nat Turner's Already NUT
terings of discomfort by hostile organi-
Lations are heard. The use of the torch
and the dagger is advised. 1 deplore it,
but, as God is my judge, ] say that no
other people on the face of the earth
have ever submitted to the wrongs and
injustice which have been for twenty
FIVE years put upon the colored men OF
the South without revolution and blood. "
After citing numerous outrages on col
ored people in the South, Senator In
gals concluded by appealing to the
South to 'try the experiment of jus
tice." II, after the experiment had been
fairly tried, it appeared that the African
race was incapable of civilization, he
would pledge himself to consider some
other method of solving the race prob
lem, but not before. Journal

A PREDICTION VERIFIED.
Facts which Prove Beyond Doubt That
Protection Protects.

Facts Which Prove Beyond Doubt That
Protection Protects.
It is fact perfectly well known to
ordinarily well-informed people-among
whom, as a matter of course, those
unfortunate beings who are afflicted
with mania for British free trade are
not to be classed - that Alexander
Hamilton, when Secretary of the Treas
ury, foretold one of the great benefits Of
the protective system in his declaration
that the ultimate effect of a protective
tariff would be the cheapehing of the
products of American industries to the
consumer.
All propositions Of that sort are at
once com batted with vociferous fury by
the free traders, whose pet theory it is
that the tariff raises the price on pro-
tected articles to the consumer by pre-
cisely the duty paid. Nevertheless,
their entire truth has been hundred
times proven and has of late been most
conspicuously shown by the ruling
prices in the iron and steel markets of
England and the United States
Repeatedly within the past few
months English and American makers
of steel rails have quoted substantially
the same prices for their wares, although
the American tariff on steel rails is a
heavy one.
How do our free-trade friends propose
to account for this fact, which knocks
their theory into innocuous desuetude?
How do they propose to account for
the fact that the American workman,
producing steel rails under the protect
i've tariff, receives far higher wages, is
far better clothed, fed and housed than
the laborers who are enjoying the (theo-
reticaD blessings of free trade across the
seas?
These are questions to which there is
but one honest answer, and that an
swer is an open acknowledgment that
protection protects. Y. Mail and Ex-
