The Transition from long. lingering,
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the lie OF the indi-
viaual.; Such a remarkable event els
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed; hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elcc-
trio Bit.ers. SO many feel they owe their
restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. II you are

How the Farmers Are Robbed.

In reviewing the Mckinley bill the New
York Tribune SAYS: Tho failure Of the
tariff to encourage the manufacture Of tin
plates is rerned!ed by an adequate advance
il the dutyn Tin plates are not manu-
featured in this country. bat there arc a
few men who want to manufacture them
They say they cannot manufacture them
unless they are protected. The Mckinley
bill admits tin free, but places a duty Of
y cents 4 round on tin plates, and the
Tribune remarks that this duty win. it is
believed. insure the Development of their
manufacture.
The fArmers will be taxed, If the McKin-
ley bill becomes law, on all the tin pans,
kettles, cups. and other tin articles they
buy, and on all the tin cans they need for
canning purposes, in order that these few
men may start a tiu-plate factory. There
are mllliors Of tin cans used every year in
this country for canning vegetables, fruits
and fish. Under the Mckinley bill the
prices of these cans will be increased. VIII
the increase be borne by the consumers of
TIE canned goods or by tie producers of
theml As general thing it will be borne
by tie producers, because it will be diff
cult, if not impossible, owing to the fierce
competition, to increase the prices of the
goods. The interesting spectacle will be
presented Of the farmers aud other Iaboring
classes paying q tax in order that two or
three firms may make tin plates and grow
rich from the profits of their manufacture
