More serious sickness is caused by
allowing the bowels to remain in tor
pid or partially constipated condition
than from any other cause, In many
instances diseases are produced from
which people never wholly recover.
Dyspepsia, piles and nervous disor-
ders are three of the most common
and most serious. They are caused by
neglecting the bowels and can be pre-
vented by an occasional dose of St.

SOME QUESTIONS
That Mr.. Slaughter Wishes Answered by
Somebody.
TO the Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.J

To the Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.l
/ desire to ask few questions for
the consideration Of those persons
who favor Mr. Cleveland as the next
Democratic presidential candidate,
including his one issue policy OF
tariff reform, and would be glad to
have answers from yourself, or
others.
Question l. Suppose tariff reform
Is made the only issue in the next
national campaign by the Demo
cratic party with Mr.. Cleveland as
candidate, and then suppose by
some chance he should be elected,
how could his administration expect
to accomplish any good in the line of
tariff reform with Republican Sen
ate united on the Mckinley bill and
protection generally?
We know that no law can be
made, or changed, without the sane.
ton Of both houses. We know that
the Senate is Republican, and will
probably remain so for some years to
come, and we also know that this
Senate will most probably seek to
defeat any Democratic tariff reform
measure passed by the House.
Question 2. Then under these cir
cumstances how much good can be
accomplished under tariff reform
policy alone?
Question 3. Judging from Mr..
Cleveland's expressed views, and his
past record, would he not veto any
free silver bill that might be passed
by Congress (for the Senate, though
Republican, is in favor of free silver)
or any other measure of importance
that would increase the currency of
the country sufficiently to supply all
demands of trade?
Question 4. Is not Mr.. Cleveland's
ideas strictly in accord with Wall
street, and other monied centers, on
the money question, and is he not
the most favored candidate of these
mOnied powers on the Democratic
side Of politics?
Question 5. With only the one
issue policy (of tariff refOrm) and a
Republican Senate to interfere with
and defeat that, how can the masses
Of the people expect any benefits |
from a Cleveland administration, ex-
cept, perhaps, only politicians and |
office seekers, who, of course, will be |
favored by general distribution of
official positions
Question 6. With manufacturers
united against him because of his tar.
iff views; with free silver men unit
ed against him because Of his opposi-
tion to silver, and with almost the
entire Alliance and other labor or
against 'him because of
his single gold standard ideas and
his opposition to any increase of the
currency generally, how can Mr..
Cleveland expect to be elected, even
II he Is nominated?
These are all pertinent questions,
connected closely with live issues,
that it might be well for Democrats
to duly consider, and if they can be
satisfactorily answered in the right
way, myself and many others would
be much pleased to know.
Yours truly, G. III. S.
