Deafness Can't be Cured :

by local applications, as they can ne t
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbliug sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the intlanma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing

is nothing but an jnfamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

1t is reported that among those who
have left the democratic, to. join the
third party are some ex-Confederates.
A plank in the third party's platform
demands that the government pay exs
Union soldiers the difference between
the price of the greenbacks in WHICH
they were paid and gold. AS the
money to pay this difference would
have to be raised by taxation, as the
ex-Confederates would have to pay
their share of it, and as the men to
whom it would be paid are those who
ravaged the South and impoverished
its people, the ex-Confedeiate who sup
ports the third party, and therefore
stands on its platform and endorses
the plank in it referred to-, is--well.

Southside Alliance Pledge to Cleveland

At regular meeting Of the South
side Farmers Alliance at Scottsville,
Saturday week, the following resolu-
tions were presented and adopted
Resolved, LIST. That we pledge our
selves to vote for Cleveland and Steven
son, the nominees of the Democratic
party at Chicago. Resolved, I'd. That
we regret to see the disposition of the
State Alliance officers, in their recent
meeting in Richmond, to give aid and
comfort to the Third party move, as we
consider the only result of the Third
party can be to draw votes from the
Democratic party, thereby helping the
Republicans to saddle the Force bill on
the South.

We Can't Believe If.

The New York Herald prints a long
letter written by Thomas Fortune, the
negro leader in New York, in favor of
the Force Bill, and-in which the white
people of the South are denounced in
unmeasured terms for alleged cruel out
RACES upon the negro men, women and
children of Ibis section, and the Herald
supplements this letter with one from
Fred Douglass, one of the John Brown
conspirators, who heartily. endorses it.
Are Observation-Disclosures men-go-
ing to aid these negro fanatics, Fortune
and Douglass, in their devilish work of
stirring up mischief and inaugurating
reign of terror at the South?
We cannot believe it. Virginians are
rot made of that sort of stuff.
OF course they would resent any such
imputation Indignantly.
And vet when they vote for Weaver
will they not be incidentily aiding Har-
rison and the Force Bill, for no human
being supposes that Weaver can be
elected.
When this fact is fully appreciated
we believe there will be great turning
away from the Third party. Virgin.
ians will have to forget too much and
be false to too much to come out in
that sort of role. 1t cannot be.-Lynch-

Cleveland's plurality over Blaine in
1884 was g., 6S3, and over Harrison in
1883 was 9S,O17 We hope it will be an

they get the Force Bill they will steal

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.--On Sunday
evening last, Mr.. Peyton Y. Alley, a
fireman on the G. & o. railroad, resid-
ing at Anderson, WA, and brother of
Engineer Lon F. Alley,4of this city, was
on his engine, which had stopped to
take water at Fayette Water Station,
about so miles west of Hinton, he step
ped off the engine to the groundAas he
suppOsed-but unfortunately an open
culvert was there into which he fell, a
distance of 30 feet. breaking his right
arm, dislocating his left elbow and
spraining one of his ankles. He was
soon rescued from his perilous position
and removed to his home, and is i'm
proving as fast as the nature of his in

slant death can only be explained on
the ground of PrOvidential interior

Gov Mckinley, author of the tariff
tax bill that bears his name, recently
made spec !. in which he said: mo
one ever claimed that protective tariffs
were intended to increase wages" As
the only con eivable reason for pro-
tective tariff is that it may possibly
benefit labor..rs, by increasing their
wages, the Mckinley tariff tax bill
should be alb ,ished at once, as SO good
authority on the subject as Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself denies the existence of
any such reason. If a high tariff on
the necessaries of life doesn't increase
wages, but certainly does increase the
cost of living, how it benefits poor peo-

says that from 1916 to 1860, under the
operation of a tariff laid for revenue,
the increase of domestic exports was
210 per cent. The increase in imports
was 1877 per cent. There has, been no
other fourteen years in the history of
the country when its trade showed
such astonishing advancement. In

Letter From T. d. Robertson

1t is more than gratifying to be able
to lay before our readers the following
pointed letter from Mr.. Robertson,
He was lately President of Fauquier
Alliance and speaks from personal
knowledge. We believe his frank ut
terances will be productive of good.
BROAD Run STA,
August 10Th, 1892.
To The True Iqadee-Dear. SIR
1t seems due to large majority of
the farmers of our County and State
who Joined the Farmers Alliance"
that something should be said to de-
fend them from any-the least-taint
of ''Third Partyism.n Having at one
time been member of tho Alliance
myself, l know the professions made
to farmers and the inducements held
out to them to join this organization.
Before taking upon themselves the OBJ
legations of the order they were SOL
EMMY assured that there was nothing
connected with the institution which
would in any wise conflict with their
Political VieacS." Without this posi-
tive assurance there would have been
very few farmers in this good old Dem
ocratic county of Fauquier who could
have been induced to unite with. the
Alliance.
1t is only just and right here, to say
that this profession and promise was
not kept by those Originators of the Or
der who were holding ever in the fore
front their own selfish promotion.
The strongest evidence of the fact that
faith was not kept and that farmers
were deceived is to be found in the
further fact that the Farmers ALI
ance" if it lives at all in the State of
Virginia today does SO only in name.
The Third Party has DESTROYED it.
The Farmers Alliance in its origin
under its former constitution, bylaws,
professions and pledge, was an institu-
ton believed to be capable of accom-
plishing much good and working out
many benefi cial reforms; but alas for
| it, it is no more, because that conserv-
ative element which formed a large
portion of the order has been forced to
withdraw fromit. The Alliance should
not be held responsible for appoint
ments it has never approved nor for
utterances made and pgblished in it's
name that are in absolute opposition
to its principles and chartered rights
The Alliance of the past and the Third
Party of the present are as widely dis
tinct as are the Democratic and Re
publican parties. Had the Alliance
ever claimed to be political body or
failed to repudiate such charge when
brought against it, the conservative
farmers of the South never could have
been persuaded to cooperate with it
and the membership would have been
circumscribed to the few whose per
sonal ambition is first before their
country's veal.
