Thi, Is Meant for You .

It has been truly said that half the
world does not know how the other
half lives. Comparatively few OF us
have perfect health, owing to the
impure condition of our blood. But
we rub along from day. to day, with
scarcely a thought, unless forced to
our attention, of the thousands all
about us who are suffering from
scrofula, salt rheum and other serious
blood disorders, and whose agonies can
only be imagined. The marked
success of Hoods Sarsaparilla for
these troubles, as shown in our
advertising columns frequently,
certainly seems to justify urging the
use of this excellent medicine by all
who know that their blood is disorder
ed. Every claim in behalf of Hoods
Sarsaparilla is fully backed up by what
the medicine has done and is still
doing, and when its proprietors urge
it's merits and its use upon all who
suffer from impure blood, in great or
small degrees, they certainly mean to
include you.

The PEOPLE are beginning to see
the absurdity of changing first mort
gage bearing four per cent. interest
for bonds of doubtful value bearing
three per cent. One of the strongest
fights which railroad attorneys have
ever made is now in progress over this
question. The consequences of this
fight are so far-reaching and so full of
interest to the people Of Delaware that
some ideas upon the subject force them
selves upon the mind of every citizen
of the State: The fact that the bonds
which the railroad company proposes
to give the State in exchange for her
first mortgage are to run, forty years
is significant. Why should they not
be made payable in ten or twenty
years? Simply because such short
time, during which all of the compet-
ing lines could be kept out of the State
is not what is desired. Were it possi-
BILE to make the time hundred or
more years it would be done.
These bonds which are to be offered
the State will be valuable SO long as
competition is kept away and no long
er. Whenever the State sets out to
charter another railroad company the
argument that with opposition lines
lessening the receipts Of the present
company they will be unable to pay
the obligations given the State under
such circumstances the legislature will
be under the necessity of assuming
this risk or refusing to allow the peo-
ple of the State to better their condi-
tion by securing lower freight rates.

THE LEIDER'S FIGrRES.

II is the Leader that has run to its
historical almanac" this time, and i very
poor II 1T proves to be. Now for the
benefit of our wool gathering evening
contemporary the TRIHuNE will say that
It's figures concerning wool were complied
by government officials republican OH
cialS OF the agricultural bureau and
may he relied upon as approximately cor
rect. SO much for the figures. Now for
the facts. The Leader charges that the
TRIBUNE jumped from 1861 f. tbc nres-
cnt time, 'bccausc the figures durinp
this time do not suit its side Of tbc oucs-
lioh' II the Leader means by this that
the figures sincc 1867 stand in evidence
against the assertions or conclusions of
the TRIBUNE it is mistaken. They do
not oppose themselves in the least to the
position assumed by the Tribune.
But let us see what the Leaders sal
manac' does for that journal. We will
start with it in 1860. That year, accord
ing to the Leader, there were 22,47l,275
sheep in the United States. They pro
duccd GO,5ll, 3i3 pounds of wool, or %,
pounds Il head. In 1870 the sheep had
increased to 2S,i77,95l. They shcared
lOO,lO2,3S7 pounds, or 3R pounds Il head.
In 1885 there were 40,7Gj,9OO sheep. They
shcared 240,OOO,OOO pounds of WOOL, or
nearly 6 pounds per head. Now
these are the Leaders figures, and
one cannot help but notice
what an effect the tariff had in MAKING
sheep grow more wool. Why the weight
OF ilceccs more than doubled in twenty
years. and all ON account of the tariff.
Funny isn't it? But while the Lenders

pLlTFDRN or THE NEW
pIRTI.

The platform Of the new peoples party,
viewed as Il whole from the standpoint
Of the Unitarian Of the day, is Of very
doubtful merit. Its objectionable and
really impracticabIc features are those
which demand the abolition of national
banks as banks Of issue; the issuance of
treasury notes in largely increased
amounts; the leaning of money by the
government, secured by non p~crishablc
products Of the soil and by lands; the
requirement Of lands owned by aliens
and foreign syndicatcs; the successful
inauguration Of a graduated tax ON in
comes. and the government ownership Of
all means Of public communication and
transportation. These features Of the
platform make the party essentially :;
new one, standing out alone from either
OF the other great political organizations
with barriers around it over which
neither IA pass to il in Il body.

the unlimited coinage of silver; that tax

support from the former his party lost
