Is Disease a Punishment.

The following advertisement, published
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
"Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become
settled in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a profuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in double doses every hour. That will
greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will effectually count
eract it, and cure what would have been
a severe cold within one or two days
time. Try it and be convinced Sc

clover will not thrive. 1t is useful in
mixture for dry soil.
Red clover is a perennial but of very
few years duration. 1t is nutritious and
voluble in moist locations. The large
red or pea vine clover, also known as
English COW grass, is reliable sort for
blowing under. White clover is espe-
cially priced for lawns and pastures.
Crimson clover, sketch of which is
here reproduced from James M. Thor
burn & Co.'S annual descriptive cata-
logue for 1891, is an annual with crimson
flowers, about which many reports were
made last season, some exceedingly com
mandatory, while others were not favor
able. Thorburn says that "sown late in
the summer it furnishes an early green
fodder the following season; it Is also
excellent for soiling." Beal says, 'It
belongs to warm climate, and is not so
popular at the north as is red clover
Japan clover is a perennial, voluble
only IN southern localities, where it
thrives IN any soil. 1t makes fair hay,
and stock eat it readily when green.

crack Drained steamboat captain about
the impossibility of bringing heavily
laden boats up to the lower locks at the
at the Cascades? Or dissertation by
Major Handbury about the fatality of
finishing the work by contract or the
amount of his latest estimate for their
completion? Or the opinion of an inn
practicable visionary about the cost of a
scow? Or a lecture on "geometrical
progression by railroad mathematic-
ian? Interesting as all this might be as
matter of information, it had no place
in the committees report.
But the Raley bill must be killed
and if Official estimates are not suf-
ficient, unofficial ones must be resorted
to. One estimate, (the report does not
say clearly by whom it was made,) fixes
the cost of a portage railroad at Cello,
we presume on the Washington side, at
$500, 900. Another was presented by
Major Handbury for the same side,
made three years ago which places the
cost at $43l 800. The remarks of Major
Handbury, in another connection
would lead us to infer that his estimate
was made purposely high, to allow for
the notoriously slow and costly manage
ment of any work prosecuted under
government control. Major Handbury
stated that three years ago, ga survey
was commenced ON the Oregon side
but was found so much more costly that
it was abandoned" Commenting on
this in his opology Mr.. Mccoy reports
the major to have said ''that it was
found so costly that it was abandoned"
This is not what Major Handbury said.
He simply compares the cost of con-
struction on the Oregon side with that
on Washington and declares it to be
''much more costly" The effort of Mr..
Mccoy is to make it appear that the
road could not be built ON this side
without an expense that would "double
the taxes of the state;" and that would
be awful, you know, on the dear people.
But to make his case still stronger Mr..
Mccoy goes outside the report and takes
the unofficial statement of man, who
by his own confession, never surveyed
the road, that it would cost million.
And as if this was not sufficient to kill the
Raley bill beyond hope of resurrection,
he invokes the spirit of prophesy and
assures us that the building of road
on the Oregon side would involve
law suit with the Union Pacific
that would last "ten or twenty years"
and to crown all he avows that
some steamboat captain told him that
without a scow, portage road would be
of no account anyhow. Assuming the
honesty of Mr.. Mccoy what shall we
say of his credulity? If he retains his
honor where is his judgement?
The cost of the road a million dollars,
when of the same committee had an
offer in his pocket from thoroughly
responsible person offering to build the
road for the sum appropriated in the
Raley bill Losses ON wheat by frequent
handling increasing in geometrical pro-
gression, as if nothing else than wheat
was to be shipped over the road And

l have the authority of the American
Economist that in 1855 the number of people
IN the United States who owned their own
homes had in twenty-five years fallen from
ive-eighths TO three-eightns, and how long
will it take them TO fall to one-eighth or one
thousandth? History is not without lessons
IN this regard, and l quote from the
Progress, published in Boston:
when Egypt went down = per cent OF
her people owned 81 per cent of her wealth
The people We're starved TO death. When
Babylon went down , per cent of her people
owned all of her wealth. The people were
starved to death When Persia went down
per cent of her population owned all the
land. When Rome went down 1900 men
owned all the known world"
In 1850 in this country the capitalists
owned 30 per cent OF her wealth Tu-day
they own more than twice that amount of
her wealth. Have they been more honest,

OF the old Bythic story of ATLANTA, in
which Hippomenes, it is said, after winning
the race was grand enough in his love for
the fair prize TO give to Meleager, his pre-

won, a sacrifice that he fully appreciates,

THE CAUSE OF OUR POVERTY.

Upon the authority of the state COM
missioner of agriculture it is asserted
that about three million dollars year
go out OF Texas Tor the single item OF
bacon-and Texas is an agricultural
state that ought to export bacon.
If, being an agricultural state. and
yet using 100000 year to buy bacon
| from the farmers in other states, how
much do we take from our money sup
ply to purchase the manufactured
products of other states? We raise
more cotton than any other state. but
We send TO Massachusetts and Rhode
Island for our cotton goods. We have
more sheep than any other state. but
the WOODEN goods come from the same
manufactures. We have iron and coal
and wood in abundance, but our
wagons, our plows, our machinery Of
all kinds come from the North and the
East. For everything that we use. ey-
cept raw cotton and wool, and cattle on
tAiV Iocl. We pay o4l OliI INV
much do We send out of the state for
these goods? Well, We raise about
seventyfive million dollars worth OF
cotton every year, and our cattle,
wheat and sheep will swell this sum to
$1,000 900. At the end of the year
we have precious little cash on hand.
We must have sent about all of it out
of the state, for it is certainly not here.
1t has been asserted, as an argument
that we are paying TO foreign money
lenders four or five million dollars a
year for interest. What is this COM
pared to the enormous sums We are
paying other states for manufactured
goods? 1t is certain that this drain Of
our money for Northern goods will
never cease until we begin to make
those goods ourselves. 1t is also just
as certain that We have not the money
TO establish manufacturing plants nee
essary to supply our home demand. and
we cannot get this money from the
Eastern money centers. 1t must come
from foreigners. Could we not well
afford to pay s., 900, 900 more of interest
to English money lenders if by doing
so we could get capital enough TO build
our own manufacturing plants, and
keep at home the hundred millions or
so that we are now depleted of? We
would be very largely the gamer by it,
for we should be about ninety millions
year better off.
But we cannot get foreign money as
long as the alien land law stands among
our statutes. We have banished the
only hope OF our Independence, and un
less the law is modified, or declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court,
we shall continue to work for the en-
richment OF protected Northern manu-
facturers, and through fear of the evil
effects OF spending five millions year
for interest we will continue TO spend a
hundred millions year for manufac
lures.
