Mr.. John Keown, the worthy
postmaster at Keown, Allegheny
County, Penn, says: Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy sells better
than any other" The reason OF
this is because it can always be
depended upon. Let any one
troubled with a severe cold give it
a trial and they will find that the
first dose will relieve the lungs
and make breathing easier, and
that its continued use will free the
sJ stem of all symptoms of the
cold. The promptness and GER
tainty of this remedy in the relief
and cure of colds, has won for it
many sincere friends and made it
very popular. For sale by Smith
and Dunkin Druggists.

for their circulation, and that after
the banks had borrowed the money
of the Government, with the peo-
pie as security, it was then loaned
to the people at ten per cent IN adj
vance. The fact is the national
banks give their own security, and
for $4,000 in bank notes they
must deposit 100000 in bonds.
There was not a dozen men In the
audience but knew that his asser-
tion was incorrect, and we only
mention it to show that even men
who come from Iowa to instruct
the people of Missouri, are not al
ways reliable in their staten ants.
The only other point of any conse-
quence touched upon in his speech
was the financial problem. The
GRAPHIC accepts his statement
that the vollmo of our currency is
inadequate to tho business OF our
country. This is undoubtedly
true, but the republican party has
given the country law that is
rapidly adding millions to our cur
rency. Of course it is not sud-
den expansion to the amount re-
quired, but it is safe, and insures
the country steady growth Of
prosperity.

GENERAL WEAVER'S SPEECH.

General Weaver spoke to fair
audience in the park last Monday
afternoon on the objects and aims
of the Farmers Alliance. He
stated that he was out to educate
the people, and to tell them why
they were SO oppressed at the
present time.
He began with the wheat crop,
and told his audience that Liver
pool fixed the price of wheat, and
gave as reason for the low price
of the cereal that, when it went to
the Liverpool market. it came in
competition with Indian wheat
which was grown, harvested and
threshed by men who received on
y 81 cents per day for their labor.
He argued, and rightly too, that
American farmers could not COM
pete with such labor, and feed,
clothe and ed ucate their children
without becoming bankrupt. His
next declaration was that the
United States should throw ,her
markets open to the world. He
did not tell his audience, however
that when this was done every de-
partment of labor would come into
direct competition with the cheap
labor as in the case of wheat, and
like wheat growing must snffer
the same fearful consequences.
He stated that the people went

Health in this vicinity is good.
No doctors need apply at present.
A heavy frost occurred here on
the night Of the 18th inst, which
nipped the corn blades and late
vegetables quite severely.
Nearly all our farmers are Gone
sowing what. A larger acreage
than usual has been sown this fall
and the early wheat is up and
looking fine.
Thomas Brownfeld and Marion
Hicks are erecting brick. kiln
near the Johnson bridge, three
miles south of Brashear. They ex-
pect to be ready for burning in a
few days. This will supply long
felt want in this vicinity.
Late rains which have fallen
here have greatly improved the
prospect for corn. A fair crop is
now assured and this together
with the revival of fall pasturaga
and plenty of water for stock, has
made the farmer happy.
Threshing in this vicinity is
about done. The oats and wheat
crops vera fairly good; oats, av-
eraged about thirty bushels per
acre, wheat twelve to twenty bush
els.

gina OF another train. Tb e caboose
of the standing train wa telescop.

came next was deraile5 Both cars
are total loss. The rear engine
which did the dan .age lost its
headlight, but kept the track and
was SO firmly wedge d into the ca.
boose it could not be extricated
until the arrival Of an extra engine
which pulled them apart. The nc.
cident occurred t.l rec miles east
of Gibbs.
Quite number of our citizens
attended the LaPlata and Kinks

ing regular holiday since the
burden and heat Of harvest and
threshing Is over. Well if any one
deserves q rest it is the farmers
and their tired wives.

The Republicans are get
ting anxious to have Mr.. Hatch
accept Mr.. Harrington's challenge
for public discussion.
The conference committee
of the house and Senate upon the
tariff bill had no trouble in agree
ing upon the reciprocity feature.
The tranquil election in
Brazil has confirmed the stability
of the Republic, and the final seal
has been placed upon it by the
recognition given it by the mother
country, Portugal.
Mr.. Hatch does not seem

on the stump. In fact he is
pr.cticing his old methods OF

The cotton crop this yeal

The annual convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen contributed S459,000 to
the support of the great O. strike.
In spite of these stupendous exer-
tions the firemen failed. The
lessons of labor disputes all teach
the one moral: Go slow.
It is reported that Senator
Vest will come home this week to
preach reform in Missouri. The
reformation has already begun,
and the greater the hold the idea
of reform gets upon the state the
greater will be the determination
not to return Mr.. Vest to WASH
ipgton.
"A striking feature OF the
present outbreak of labor troubles
in the English-speaking world is
the mutual support rendered by
bodies of working men far separ-
ated geographically one from the
other. The movement of the great
employing firms to combine and
fight fire with fire seems the only
alternative. Perhaps when the
two classes of combinations are
thoroughly organized and brought
face to face therewilI be cessation
OF the costly fights, on the same |
principle that some people look
for cessation of war when armies
and their appliances are made so
destructive that no one will dare
to set them against one another.
The commercial agencies
report a strong demand for money
everywhere consequent upon an
immense volume of trade, but
there has been no stringency in
the interior as there was in New

iron is said to be enormous, and
this is a sure indication of great
industrial activity. The freight
