Cuticura Remedies.

If the thousands of little babies who have been
cured of agonizing, itching, burning, bleeding,
scaly, and blotchy skin and scalp diseases could
write, what a host OF letters would be received
by the propfietors of the CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Few can appreciate the agony these little ones
suffer, and when these great remedies relieve in
mas and itching and burning skin diseases, and
point to a speedy and permanent cure. it is pos
ittvely inhuman not to use them without a mo-
ment's delay.

Little Things that Count.

In every line of business, no mater

The little expenses. the little wastes the
little economies are the ores that turn
the balance of accounts either for profit
or loss, and it is these things that need
the closest attention.
The larger, more important details of
every business are carefully looked after:
there is little chance for neglect, careless
ness or oversight. The workman who
spells Il costly piece of machinery, or
causes IA loss of any considerable account,
is held responsible, and is generally very
careful in this respect, but In the little
things he is not as prompt in exercising
c re and economy, and these little things
are looked upon As OF no consequence
and as having no real value.

ginning on barely nothing, succeeded In
building up a large and profitable bust.

m ckInIey Prices" of Canned Fruit

Perhaps no falsehood has been more
persistently circulated by the "strong
siding champions" of the Welsh monopo
ly than the story that the new tin plate
duty will have the effect Of enormously
enhancing the cost of preserved fruits
Tho report is vehemently denied by Mr..
Richardson, of Richardson 4 Robbins of
Delaware, one of the largest canning con.
Germs in the country. He says that if the
firm packs its usual quantity of fruit this
year, the inc-ea ell cost of tin plate at the
very highest estimate will be only $500,
while the saving on sugar will be $1,000
The net result, therefore, Is that the fruit
canning industry, instead of being injur-
ed, is benefited by the Mckinley tariff
Moreover, there is no telling what price
American Gamers might have to pay, il
instead of being increased and made pro
tective, the duty on tin plate had been re-
pealed, and the Welsh trust thereby guar.
anteod undisputed possession of the Am
erican market.

The One Issue Fallacy,

The esteemed Appeal-Avalanche
has radically changed its position on
Democratic policy in the coming
campaign, being up to late date a
strong free coinage advocate.
In reply to the LEAF-CHRONICLE's
notice of its position on the one issue,
the Appeal Avalanche says:
"Well, would it not be better to
elect tariff reform president in 1892,
which we can do surely, than to run
the risk of having Benjamin Harri-
son elected by splitting the Democ-
racy in twain on the free coinage
proposition? The Appeal-Avalanche
wants a Democratic victory in 1892
That's the chief objective and para
mount consideration. When we Sc
cure reform on the tariff, and trade
and money flow according to natural
laws, 1t will be time to discuss the
question of the circulating medi-
um.n
This is the same old argument
which the money iobbers have
brought to the front in every cam
paign. We tried this plan in 1888
with the prestige Of Democratic
president in the chair and popular
administration to his credit, and yet
Harrison defeated him. Mr.. Cleve.
lond's opposition to silver was used
against him, especially in the West,
with terrible effect. Later on, Nov.
1890, the Democrats went before the
people on the platform growing out
of the issues made up by the contest
in Congress-free coinage and tariff
reform, and gained an overwhelm-
ing victory. The same vote cast
then against high tariff and single
gold standard will as surely elect
Democratic free coinage, tariff reform
President in '92 by an overwhelming
majority. Then, will it not be better
to stick to the policy that wins, if
Democratic victory in '92 be the chief
object and paramount consideration,
and we concede that it is?
The Appeal-Avalanche assumes,
from its own figuring that, the, party
with Cleveland as its leader, is
stronger on the one issue, which posi-
ton is not justified by the present
situation and cannot be sustained by
any kind of reasoning. To the con
trary, 1t is evident that Mr.. Cleveland
Is not as strong in his own State now
as he was in 'SS, when Harrison car
ried 1t.
The men who are engaged in press
ing the one issue and Cleveland are
mugwumps and money dealers.
They are for the single gold standard
and present financial system, which
enable them to control the finances
Of the country and amass great for
times at the expense of the people.
They will leave no stone unturned to
SECURE Mr.. Cleveland's nomination,
and that done they will care not
cent which candidate is elected, both
having pledged to the single stan
dard. II we wait for tarfft reform to !

The BLACK Tongue serious Among CATTLE.

A new disease called black tongue
is spreading among cattle and caus-
ing much trouble and alarm. r.. B.
Williams, in the suburbs of the city,
has four cows affected with it. ALI
Darnell, some 10 miles west of the
city, was in town Wednesday and
reported the disease spreading in that
community. Jas. B. Basford, of
Woodford, was in yesterday and says
it is prevailing to.a distressing extent
in that community. The cattle are
affected with sore mouths, swollen
tongues and fever, loss of appetite,
and quickly fall away to skin and
bones. Some have a breaking out on
the legs, get lame and can't travel.
Not many die with the disease, but
they are so reduced in flesh as to
render them unfit for any purpose for
good while to come. The remedy
prescribed is mouth wash made Of
borax and alum and for washing
their legs copperas water. The best
remedy is a preventive when the
healthy are separated from the dis
eased cattle. Box vine root boiled to
strong decoction would no doubt
be fine wash, as it cures scratches
on horse quicker than almost any
thing else.
