Deafness Can't be Cured

BY local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed deafness is this result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will he destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give one hundred dollars for

strikes the roots Of the brush where
they are easily cut. Four horses are re-

be cut. The brush is then raked into

POORLY PAID ENGLISH LABOR.

The comparative condition of the labor
ing classes in the United States and Eng
land has been set before the reading
public In this country many times
through the public prints, wherein the
advantages enjoyed by the American
citizen in the matter of the comforts of
home life and ampier compensation for
services performed over those of the
British subject have been demonstrated
by figures that are undeniably correct.
Here is another statement showing the
discrepancy, based upon the actual OBJ
servation and personal inquiry touching
those points:
LONDON. Sept. 20, 1892.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
DEAR SIR have been here in the
city OF London about four months. Dur
ing that time / have frequently con-
versed with great number of the labor
ing classes and they are one and all op-
posed to free trade, as it is detrimental
to their interests. and they would like to
see President Harrison elected again.
They have to work here for about half
the wages usually paid in our country,
and yet provisions and house rent are
considerably higher here. Aole-bodied
men and women have told me they can
scarcely get taste of meat more than
once or twice week. l thought your
readers would be interested in this letter,
as am SO well known amongst them
(The Indian Doctor Harris)
shall endeavor to be home in time to
cast my vote for our president | am
sir, yours truly. DR.. E. HARRIS.

LEwELLING,S AND SIMPSONS
PASSES.
The Calamity organ saws:

The Calamity organ says:
"Mr. Lewelling and Mr.. Simpson may
have accepted passes from the railroads.
We do not know whether they have or
not. Their right to do 30 is undlsputed.
but Mr.. Simpson, Mr.. Prather and Mr..
Lewelling have too fine sense of honor
to accept a pass and then loan it to
others"
The ''undisputed right" of these Ca
lamityites to accept and use "passes
from the railroads" is based upon the
language of their state platform, which
is incorporated into the county platform,
| in language to-wit:
Resolved, That we favor the abolition of
the system of passes in general use by rail
roads as Il species of favoritism dangerous
to the freedom of American sovereignty.
This clear and explicit language gives
the ''undisputed right" to Mr.. Lewelling
and Mr.. Simpson to accept and use
passes. A pass is something of value,
and of course Mr.. Lewelling and Mr..
Simpson give nothing in return for this
favor. Honest L. D. Lewelling and our
own Jerry Simpson, would be in no dam
ger of losing their freedom of Ameri-
can sovereignty" by the favor of rail-
road pass 1t is only the Republican or
Democrat vino receives the pass with
the sense of obligation who feels he
must do something in return for the
favor, who is in danger of losing his
freedom of American sovereignty. Why
Mr.. Lewelling and Mr.. Simpson may
not accept passes for their friends, or
why they may not loan them is making
altogether too fine distinction. If the
railroads see fit to give Mr.. Lewelling
or Mr.. Simpson pass, we see no reason
why they may not give more than one,
nor why they may not make these
passes transferable or loanable. There
need be no betrayal of confidence" nor
''extreme dishonesty" in Mr.. Lewelling
and Mr.. Simpson transferring or loan
ing such passes.
However, the EAGLE would suggest an
amendment to the calamity platform, to-
wit:
Resolved, That we favor the aboli-
ton of the system of passes in general use
by railroad companies, in SO far as they
are given to aspirants, candidates for,
and incumbents of any public Office. as
species of favoritism dangerous to the
freedom of American sovereignty-pro-
vided, that this shall not apply to the
Peoples party nor those cooperating to
elect the calamity ticket"

Instead of meeting Commissioner

effects of the present tariff law to the
labor interests of New York, with a
counter showing of figures and facts
disprovIng Peck's showing, which
might have been done if the latter's re-
port were BASED upon unreliable aud
false data, the New York Democratic
committee undertook to discredit the
commissioners report by attacking him
personally. But his report stands IN
contradicted and the attempt to break
him down has failed. The Democrats

party by their disingenuous methods.
