offered in recent discoveries by rail

the engineers developed the outcrop
of no less than eleven veins, ranging
from 2 feet inches to 90 feet in

The low tariff idea among the
Republicans of the West, which are
just now finding expression through
western Republican politians rs well
as through the Republican press in
the Western States, are enough to
give the high protectionists of the
east the st. Vitus' dance, to say
nothing of the severe affliction of
the Republican members of Con-
gress from the low tariff States
where their continuance in Office is
placed in jeopardy by the change of
sentiment among their constituents
regarding the tariff. Ifhigh.protec-
tion is Republication (and no one
will dare to dispute it), then Repub-
licanism in the West is of an uncer-
tain quantity. Judging from the
political sentiments that find. ex-
preston through the press, the
Western Republican has but, very
little sympathy for the administra-
ton at Washington, or any of the
present leaders of the party in the
East Western Republieanism in
the West appears to be but little
less than pure Democracy. 1t is
certainly good democracy, as far as
the tariff question is concerned.
The Globe Democrat, of st. Louis,
has been hitherto, one of the strong
est of the Western Republicans
journals, but the attitude of that
paper toward the tariff is. changing
with the views of the Western peo-
pie. The following strong language
concerning the tariff is found in II
recent issue of that paper: *
The advance in duties which the
law has made are indefensible and
absurd. We believe that most of
the men chiefly concerned in the
preparation of the act would ae-
knowledge this now. At any rate,
the majority of the Republican
voters were tolerably well convinced
long ago of the folly and wicked
ness Of this action, Reciprocity,
however, as a distinct working DOC
trine is not affected by these consid-
erations except to be rendered more
popular and urgent. This Is to DO
the great issue of the coming can
vass. The Republican National
platform in 1892 will come out bold
~ and honestly in favor of lower
ing of tariff barriers between the
nations of this continent, and, no
man can obtain the nomination who
will not sincerely and enthpslaati-
oaiiy champion this policy -

The year 1890 will take rank in
commercial history as a panic year.
The financial aud business distur-
Dances it has Witnessed were prob
ably not so severe as those which
occurred in 1872. or, to go back
still further, those of 1857. But
the extent of the depression and
the magnitude of the failures in bus
mess life during 1890 certainly
greatly exceeded the somewhat
similar manifestation of 1884, the
last preceding year in which a panic
can be said to have existed. The
general hope, however, is that 1891
will make amends to the business
world for the poor treatment that
80 accorded them. And though
the process of rccuperation is apt to
be slow, it would seem that the fair
er financial conditions are already
appearing, with decided prospect
that the varied material interests of
the country will soon again be in
the enjoyment of their wonted ac-
tivity and prosperity.

OF the many disasters with. which
mankind has been visited, ono OF the
worst Is that class Of ailments which
originating simply with inactivity of
the kidneys and bladder, causes such
frightful loss Of life. Under this APP
palllng category come Brights dis
ease, diabetes, gravel, ordinary nephi-
tbs and catarrh of the bladder. No
class of organic maladies. against
which medical skill is pitted, so often
battles the expert practitioner and sets
his skill ut naught. Easy Is II, how
ever, to arrest these dlreful ailments
at the start, The diuretic action of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is just
sufficient to set the bladder and kid
neys at work, preserve or rescue them
from fatal inactivity without exciting
them. The unmedicated stimuiants
of commerce excite without either
strengthening or regulating. Hos

Is unfailing for malaria, dyspepsia,
debility, rheumatism, liver complaint
and constipation.
