Twenty-three Years in the Drug Bust

years, and have sold all the patent
medicines which are known in this
country, and can truthfully say that
1 have never known a remedy for
Blood Diseases of more value than S.
S. S. (Swift's Specific.) Mr.. A., a
customer, was troubled with an erup-
ton of the skin on the back of his
hands, and had in vain sought relief
of the best local medical talent, also
of some of the most noted specialists,
in New York, and as a last resort
spent some months in Paris, France,
under treatment of the physicians
there, and had secured only Temporal
ry relief. After all this treatment he
was finally cured, sound and well, by
Swift's Specific.
Another customer, Mr.. B., had suf-
fered for may years with Blood Pois-
on, and thought he had been cured
by mercurial treatment, but the dis
ease returned accompanied by Rheu>
matism of a bad type. A dozen
small bottles of S. s. S. made a per-
feet and lasting cure.

political Prohibition.

The prohibitionist has seen all the
strings snap except the one he plays. Local
option was too local, too optional. 1t
proved utterly inadequate. Low license
did no good. 1t failed utterly and every
time. High license involved criminal COM
plicity with the evil, justified the wicked
for reward, and was a failure as a pretense
of regulation. 1t broke down whenever
and wherever employed. And non. par
tisanism did not amount to anything as a
relief measure.
But prohibition, political prohibition,
did not fail. The whole tune of triumph,
like the tune Of Paganini, must be played
on that string.
Gle shambled awkward on the stage. the
while
Across the waiting audience swept II smile;
With clnmsy touch, when first he drew the
bow,
He snapped a string; the audience Uttered
Low.
"Another stroke. on flies aaother string,
With laughter now the circling galleries ring.
Once more, The third string breaks its qntv-
ering strands,
And Kisses greet the player rs he stands.
"He stands-the while his genius unbefeft
Its calni-one string had Pagunini left.
He plays; the one strings daring notes uprise
Against the storm as iflhey sought The skies.
"a silence falls, then awe; the people bow,
And those who erst had Missed are weeping
now
And when the last note trembling died away,
Some shouted brave Some had learned TO
pray"
Political prohibition through a political
party is the only string that will sound
the notes OF national redemption from the
run power.-Daniel b. 1arAey, IN Chicago

even before their birth as forgeries on the
'.Honor thy father and thy mother" how
| can they honor a lie and a cheat? How
can they love those whose inheritance of
sin is a soul at war with innocence and
morality?
If one believes in heredity the children
of the wicked may perhaps come into their
kingdom of sha ne, shielded from the
worlds arrows by the armor with which
wickedness %repudiates scorn and sneers.
But, alas! for those who grope for light,
but whose opportunities in life only lead
them where the quicksands lie. See the
children of the man whom drink has led to
poverty and sin. The half naked, almost
starved creatures, whose furtive ways and
scared eyes remind one OF some hunted
savage animal. Why should they not look
like any other wild animals? They live in
the air, they seize what they can, and they
know not right from wrong. The provi-
dent ones withdraw themselves from the
childred OF the depraved. They fear the
contamination of poverty and filth and
they also fear the questioning gaze in the
eyes of these little ones, whose sin is that of
Inheritance rather han that of v%olition.
Scorned by the wealthy children of par
ents whose prineely dwelling overtops the
narrow alley where these u~nfortunates
exist, what future is before the children of
vice? The world tiouts, the church slurs
them. Only vice opens its arms to receive
them. Alas! for the children whose her
itage of sin destines them to moral death
before they have received their baptism as
children of light. Thrust into darkness
by father or mother, the world perpetuates
them where their progenitor placed them.
Children Of darkness or children of light
alike have a claim to enter the kingdom Of
Heaven, but on earth the way of the chill
dren of sin is rarely frightened, but is full
of dark pitfalls, and too few hands are
ontstretohed to save them.

State Farm Statistics.

Secretary Franklin Dye, of the State
Board OF Agriculture, is preparing a plan
for the collection If farm statistics every
year. Nearly every day he receives lei
tiers asking Tor facts and figures concern
ing the products of New Jersey crops for
recent years. The only answer that the
Secretary can give their inquiries is to re-
fer them to the last census. The State
Board of Agriculture when it asked to
have Secretary Dyes salary increased
from 5000 to 81, 200 a year promised to
make the work of the Board more efficient
and to give to it the dignity and usefulness
of a Department of Agriculture. 1t wants
to be able to get information at least once
a year as to the depreciation of the value
OF farms, and the value of products and
the extent of damage done by bugs and
insects, as well as by storms, cyclones,
and ravages of epidemics. The State of
Iowa has a system of collecting this infor-
nation which has been examined by Sec
rotary Dye, and an analysis of it will be
submitted to the Governor in a few days.
1t is proposed that the Township Assessors
when they go their rounds to make the as
sessment of property shall also collect
farm statistics, and that by a special act
they be allowed an extra compensation for
each farm visited and tabulated. They
will have blanks furnished them which
will suggest the nature of the information
needed. They will inquire concerning the
dairy products, the number of cows, and
the amount of milk and butter they pro-
duce; the condition of carly and late grain
and its value; losses by rot and bugs; value
of improvements made; not spent for
improved machinery and new varieties OF
fruit and vegetables planted, and the sue
cess of the venture. These blanks will be
returned to the State Board Of Agricul-
ture, and it will be the duty of the Secre-
tary to tabulate the returns into a eompre-
hensiye State table. This information
will be published every year either in con-
nection with the annual report of the
board, or in the form of special bulletins.
New Jersey having only twenty-one eoun-
ties, the information can be obtained and
circulated at Il small cost.
The school census shows that there are
$3.50 children of school AGE in Salem
county, a decrease of 154 from last year.

Who Losses Tne MONEY.

Il say, Jlm," said one workman TO
another at the noon hour, who do you
suppose loses all that money? Nine hun
dred millions of dollars is a big lot"
"Yes, that it is" SAID Jim. LET me
see it,
Mark handed over one of those slips
that tell how much money we spend every
year in this country for meat, bread.
sugar, tobacco, and liquor, and the liquor
is by far the largest item. Jim had seen
fully, and finally said: "Well the rum
seller is the first one that gets this money,
and he pays part of it to the brewer and
the distiller, and keeps part to live on and
pay his rent and his help, and the rest he
puts in the bank. Then The brewer and
the distiller have their rent and their help
to pay, and they pay the farmer for the
grain they use, and"
"You see," broke in Mark, chats all
straight. The money goes on from one to
another just as 1t does for the meat and
the bread. l don't see any signs of its
getting lost"
"Yes," replied Jim d%oubtfully, 'the
money goes on just the same, but | guess
the difference is in what we get for it. You
see, when we pay ont our money for bread
and meat and clothing, we get something
that does us good. But when we pay it out
for liquor we get what is no good to us,
about the same as if it was mouldy bread
or tainted meat"
"Why | should call that cheating!'
said Mark earnestly.
"And if you ate them and they made
you sick, would that be any worse tina if
you drank the liquor and that made you
sick and drunk too?"
"Well, then, its the drinkers that lose
all this money" said Mark with astonish-
ment.
at looks like it. Bates, what do You
say about it?" turning to a man h
stood by. Glow does all this money get
LOST"
'Well" said Bates. sit strikes me that
in every fair bargain there are two values,
what you pay and what you get for 1t.
The money may be all right, and go on as
you say, from one to another but if what
you get for 1t is of no use, then that value
is lost and you are the ono that loses it.
lit is nine hundred millions of dollars a
year thai men pay for their drink in this

Ney are the ones that lose all that

Eyes, and its the poor workingmen
mostly that lose it," growled another.
81 don't wonder they are poor. That's a
big price to pay for rags and novels and
misery"
"Well, | n%ever.' said Mark, as he went
back TO his work. 'I've often seen That
paper, and I've said to myself, its a rich

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 4. 1890.
Senator Plumb was equal to the tabled
''bull in a china shop when he jumped
ON the china schedule of tho tariff bill with
both feet, so to speak. Mr.. Plumb tore
the "high protective" god from its pedes-
tai, and gave notice in effect that he and
the people OF his State refused longer to
worship at that shrine. Fol a time it was
thought that Mr.. Plumb was leading a
Republican revolt against the tariff bill;
but when tue vote vas taken it was seen
that he represented exactly one vote on the
Republican side-all the rest voted against
his amendment. which was defeated.
Nevertheless the blunt-spoken Senator's
speech contained much that is worthy of
the most serious consideration by the
American people. For instance, he said

new Jersey a, q wor,a,. Fair,

The Executive Committee OF the State
Board of Agriculture held a long meeting
In Trenton on Tuesday and discussed a
number of important things, among them
the Worlds Fair at Chicago. The MEM
bers of the State Board are anxious to
know whether they are to be responsible
for the New Jersey agricultural exhibit at
the Fair, and if they are, they want au-
thOrity to begin work at once. The State
Board will not suffer the imposition that
it did in connection with the New Orleans
Exposition, when the New Jersey exhibit
was eveIybody's business, and, practically,
nobody's business. The result was that
the Governor, TO save the reputation of the
State, had to call ON the State Board to
help him out Of his dilemma, and they had
but sixty days to gather together some
sort of an exhibit. The trouble that con-
fronts the State Board just now. is that it
is not just clear who has the right to en-
power them to get up an exhibit. 1t is
yet to be settled whether the Governor is
in authority. or the Worlds Fair Commits
sioDers, who are Hon. W. j. Sewell and
Hon. Thomas X. Smith. Correspondence
has been opened with the commissioners
and is now being conducted.
