No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but son cal" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DIR. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
/ for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
/ the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk ?
If SO, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $5oc
you'll get something better

Immediately after the election of No
vember, 1890, a postal card canvass was
made by the Farm and Home, of Chicago,
which showed that TO the question "Will
the new tariff help the American farmer
as whole?" 57,25s farmers answered in
the affirmative, while SO, 133 replied in the
negative. That was nearly ten months
ago, and today NJ. H. Moore, of Dubuque,
Iowa, an Iowa farmer, few years ago the
fusion candidate for lieutenant governor,
predicts that Inside of five years we shall
make more tin plate than we import, and
in ten years imports will be unknown and
prices low. Wales imports halt her tin.
We will import it direct to the United
States and save handling there, until our
own mines are developed. In three
fourths of the cases the taxes added by the
Mckinley bill are upon articles almost ex-
clusively of home manufacture, and not
the slightest advance has occurred. The
farmers have already received five or ten
times as much IN the advance of their pro-
duce as they have paid extra on their
goods" In Great Britain there are 500, 900
persons directly or indirectly engaged in
the production of tin plate. About g., 600
are employed in the tin plate mills, which
use 10000 tons of pig metal. There are
1l,627 persons engaged in mining tin;
there are 1000, 600 tons of coke used in the
production of pig metal and in the tin
plate mills, and in mining the coal, max
ing the coke and transporting it $1,000
men are employed. There are 10000 tons
of limestone used, and 5000 pounds of
lead. At least 10000 persons are di-
rectly or indirectly engaged in max
ing tin plate, and as these persons
must have bread and clothing, this
industry forces partial employment to
nearly twice as many more. 1t would take
the surplus products of three Western
states to feed the help that would be en-
ployed in producing the tin plate used in
the United States. The United States
uses twice as much tin plate as all the re-
mainder of the civilized world and its con-
sumption has been rapidly increasing. If
We succeed in making ourselves independ-
ent of British supplies we shall give en-
ployment TO over a million of men and in
crease the home market of the farmer.

pended in wages to American working
men. Prices are lower than they we're
year ago, and the nation Is making many
kinds of goods which we're formerly
imported. English exports were not in
creased by the Mckinley Law: nor were

increased and so have our domestic pro-
ducts. With prices lower rather than

Calkins = Valuable Man.

Judge Calkins Is q valuable man for the
Northern Pacific outside the congressional halls.
The Herald gives an amusing account OF the
way in which the Judge secured Q $4,000 sub
sdy from an Aberdeen sawmill owner by prom
isiDg an order of 100000 feet OF lumber for
the Eicarsuga canal. Montesano waxed en-
thusiastic over proposition TO build railroad
up the Wynooche TO the straits, and was then
asked by the judge, "How about that subsidy
promised the Northern Pacific ,or building its
Hne thereT But the latest verified reports are
70 the effect that the Aberdeen sawmill man had
not delivered his contract for the subsidy, and
Nontesano also advised that the lower harbor
towns be asked to pay her subsidy. The lower
hsrbor towns have always stood ready 10 give
something for something, but not something for
nothing

AN ARABIAN KNIGHT.

The broad land CLOVIS with bright July;
And often when the day-oeams ny,
And all the golden stars look glad,
Recalling tales of old Bagdad,
i softly stroll through garden glooms,
Amid the fragrant summer blooms,
And dream that am wandering down
The byways OF that Orient town.
Ny Tgris Is o stream that flows
'Twixt bowers where blooms the crimson
rose:
Ny boats are bubbles frail, that glide
sereneiy down the starlit tide;
The nightingale that trills Tor me
Is robin in the apple tree;
The low vind-futings from the nrs
Are strains Of harps and dulcimera
The shrubs that bend in breezes bland
Are slaves that bow at my command;
The arbor arched with tangled vine
This 10 my pi.lared palace fine;
The sentinels who guard the wall
Are tiger lilies slim and tall;
And over all reign supreme,
The Csliph of my Orient dream.

No regard. whatever, was paid 10 the
