Ga run down" system. Nothing
does it so surely as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t cures all
the arrangements, irregularities and
weaknesses peculiar to the sex. It's
the most perfect of strength-givers,
imparting tone and vigor to the
whole system. For overworked, de-
bilitated teachers, milliners, seam
stresses, shop girls nursing
mothers, and feeble women gem
orally, it is the greatest earthly
boon, being unequaled as an appe-
tizing cordial and restorative tonic.
"Favorite Prescription" gives
satisfaction in every case, or money
paid for it is promptly refunded.

way its makers prove their faith

Colored Brakemen Not Tolerated on a
Southern Railway

NOBLE, Aug. 15.-The color line is caus-
ing some excitement on :he Mobile and
Montgomery division of the Louisville
and Nashville railway. Heretofore the
braken on the local freight trains have
been white men. Recently an order was
issued placing two colored men with a
white end brakeman on each train. The
local assembly of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen protested, and the su-
permit endent replied that the white men
relieved would be given places on the

further reported that one of the end
brake men, a white man, was taken from
the train and logged in the bushes for
consenting to make the run with the
negro trainmen. The return train was
manned with white men exclusively. The
brotherhood officers declare that the

Importing Teachers.

The School Trustees of Austin have
decided to dismiss the teachers of the
lower rooms in their public school
and employ three normal graduates
from California to tukp their places Oh
the first OF next year. Tr, as the
Reueiile says, the dismissed teachers
are thoroughly competent and are
giving satisfaction, we can not see
what is to DO gained by importing
teachers to take their places, IF
normal graduates are the only ones
competent to teach our public schools,
why not give the preference to those
OF our own Normal school?

"A SAMPLE CASE.

The carriage and wagon industry of
the United States may be considered
to be fairly we'll established. We not
only make our own, but furnish car
,riages to every civilized nation OF the
earth. England herself buys annually
of us moro than quarter of n million
dollars worth of wagons, while her
possessions in Australia invest $780,
600 more with us on this account. But
p, our export trade is but 1.-THE of what
it would be with free raw material
and with better facilities for ship
i ping, such as we might have if there
were no restrictions upon shipping
or commerce. The carriage and

alike), in Cortland, N. Y, the carriage
center Of eastern United States, signed
petition protesting against the
duties on material proposed by Nc
kinley. But the major was deaf to
their appeals, and increased the
duties on many materials for car
riages. &c..
The duties on materials for car

plush corduroy, etc.-incraases the
cost of a S15 carriage about 81. Not
yard Of corduroy is made in this coun-
Try, and the greater part of the broad
cloth used has been imported at about
100 per cent. duty. Aleading manu-
fdcturet OF Cortland says: "Over
Sl50,000 worth OF cloths are used in
this place, seven-eighths of which
until recently has been imported.
Not thing that goes into a carriage
is untaxed by the tariff except lumber,
which is also probably higher because
of the tariff"
The duty on carriage hardware is
A. per cent. 1t serves no purpose
except to enable the national associa-
ton Of carriage hardware manu-
facturers to keep up prices, which it
raised materially when it was organ
lied few years ago. Nearly all
wheels ARE purchased of the wheel
trust. The duty on iron and steel
adds something to the cost of these
and also to the cost of axles, many of
which are made of imported steel 1t
il safe to say that the cost of car
ridges is increased 10 per cent. by
tariff taxes. What an impetus would
be given to both our home and for
eign trade if prices could be reduced

pie have given the direct line an over
whelming endorsement. The road will be
built, and the great Garden County of
Maine will be given an outlet to the
great markets over American soil. Well
may its people rejoice. The action they
have taken will mean growth and
development for Aroostook that will
will vastly increase its wealth and con-
tribute materially to the prosperity Of
all Its citizens. The a0th or April, 1891,
marks the dawn Of a new and brighter
era for this great, fertile section Of
Maine. Henceforth its progress will be
continuous and rapid. and its splendid
possibilities will attract capital and
business enterprise to assist in further.

The work upon the road will probably
be begun at once aud rapidly pushed to
completion. The people of Aroostook
have made this possible by their votes,
aud they will never have reason to re
