TARIFF REFORM is ASSURED.
The Alliancemen Will Vote With The
Democrats on Tariff Ouest,o,s


NEW YORK, Nov. 0.-Indications
point to the balance of power in the
United States Senate being in the hands
OF the PopuliSt'S or Farmers Alliance
men. The Democrats appear to have
gained control of the State Legislature
on joint ballot in four States which are
now represented by Republicans in the
upper house, and the Populist's claim
to be able to elect three new Senators,
This will change the standing of the
different parties in the Senate from Al

The IDmiRration Problem,

Some very shrewd suggestions In re-
gard to a question on which the whole
country is at present intent NAV be
found in the following extract from an
article on immigration in the Chautau.
quan. AS intimated by the writer, our
boasted respectability of labor Is at
stake, and the longer the tide of unre-
strlcted immigration Is allowed to flow
III upon us the more insecure will be-
come the foundations of our free Amer
lean institutions: Granting that i'm
migration as now conducted Is not ad-
vantageous to our side, the question
may be asked: Does this country per-
form the Samaritan act in receiving it ,
Suppose we drain off every festered
spot OF overpopulation in Europe for
one generation, conditions remaining
the same there, AS they have for cen.
turies, would not single generation
NIL up the vacancies, and wretchednes5
survive as triumphant as ever? So
long as we perform our present office
will the demand for different state of
affairs be likely to DO made of those
European powers, partially responsible
for popular miseryp 1t would seem a
surer benevolence for this country to
attempt to help others by the power of
example. Among our b)asted tenets
are those asserting the Iespectability
of labor and the governing right OF the
common people. How long can we
maintain such claims if c, ntinually i'm
porting elements fatal to them? 1t is
almost a question whether we dare
further endanger our institutions by
lofty Indifference regarding the mem
berS of our national household. Our
government among all is unique. 1t is
to be feryently hoped that whether we
restrict the immigration of classes now
admitted or contine ourselves to per
tectIng the execution of existing re
strictions, we shall act in such a way
AS TO maintain our proud place as an
example of free government by intelli-
gent common people"

health for a long time and gradually
grew worse until some four years ago the
crisis came. At that time four of our
best physicians could give me no
encouragement, and some of them
said l would not live a year. l
commenced to use DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Cure. My doctors said your remedy
might help me for time, but that /
would not be here year hence. took
Swamp Root for nearly twelve months
three times a day, and when the rheuma-
tism set in on my shoulders and arms l
used your U. & o. Anointment rubbing
in thoroughly over the affected parts, al
so across my chest, liver and back, warm
ing it in with a hot fat iron. The
rheumatism was so bad for while that |
could not get either hand to my face.
My health now is very good; in fact, l
think l am as well as most men at my

Swamp Root entire credit for saving my

due to its use. have worked some on

This is but one of the hundreds of let
