When approached in regard to his
health, he spoke in raptures concerning
his recovery, for he considers his
restoration to health little short of a
miracle, as he had we'll nigh lost hope of
ever being we'll again.

Professor Weitzel is we'll known at
this office, and the editor can therefore
personally vouch for the absolute truth
and correctness of every one of the
above statements. None of Prof Welt
zers friends ever expected to see him
well again, and his restoration to health
is great triumph for DR. Greenes Ner'
vura blood and nerve remedy. 1t GER
tainly does cure the sick. 1t makes
them strong and well. Besides, it has
the great virtue of being a perfectly
harmless remedy, as it is purely
vegetable. Although sold by druggists
for $1.00, it is not patent medi
cine in the ordinary sense of the word
but is the discovery and prescription o.
the great specialist in nervous anC
chronic diseases, DIR Dreene, of 80 w
18th Street, New York, who gives con
sultation and advice free to the sick ant
suffering, either personally if you cal
at his office, or by letter if you writ

We advise sufferers from disease to u.s.

markably restored Professor Weitzel t.

cLEvELAND's WORDS TO FARMERS.
What He Said in His Messages About
the Tariff and the Farmer.

What He Said in His Messages About
the Tariff and the Farmer.
Our farmers and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
who from the soil produce the things con-
sumed by all-are perhaps the more
directly and plainly concerned than any
other of our citizens in just and careful
system of federal taxation. Those &C
tually engaged in and more remotely con
nected with this kind of work number
nearly one-half of our population.
None labors harder or more continuously
than they. No enactments limit theiI
hours of toll, and no interposition of the
government enhances to any great extent
the value of their products.
And yet for many of the necessaries anG
comforts of life which the most scrupulous
economy enables them to bring into tEeil
homes, and for their implements of hus
bandry, they are obliged to pay price
largely increased by an unnatural prof
which, by the action of the government, il
| given to the more favored manufacturer
Message to Congress, 1886.
Our farmers, long suffering and patient
| struggling in the race of life with tn
| hardest and most unremitting toll, will
| not fail to see, in spite of misrepresenta
tions and misleading fallacies, that the.
| are obliged to accept such prices for thei
| products as are fixed in foreign markets
where they compete with the farmers @

| in value while their debts increase, an,
! that without compromising favor they ar

Is tho World Made of Salt ?

Near the village of Spenrenberg,
about twenty miles from Berlin, Ger
many, is situated the deepest salt mine
in the world. At last accounts it was
a, 1914 feet deep, the first 1900 being six
teen feet in diameter. 1t was begun in
the year 1869, government authorities
having charge of the work, the avowed
purpose of the work being to ascertain
the exact thickness of the rock salt vein
known to exist beneath the gypsum
substrata Astounding in that vicinity.
The salt rock was reached before the
shaft had passed the 800 level, but the
size of the mammoth shaft was not
lessened until it had reached depth
of nearly one-fifth of a mile, after which
the boring was continued with an auger
bit thirteen inches indiameter. When
the boring was discontinued at the
depth of 4, 1914 feet, 5000 feet of which
was pure rock salt, the end of the
auger bit was cutting away on the
saline deposit, whichis still of unknown
thickness

MANY BODIES WASHED ASHORE.
Victims of the Wreck of the Western Re.
serve Cast on.

serve NaSI oh.
NEwBERRY, Mich, Sep. 3--Five bod
les have been recovered at the scene of
the wreck of the Western Reserve Capt.
Minch and lady supposed to be his wife
and an unknown lady but partially
clothed, as though hurried from bed to a
yawl boat to escape, were among them.
The Western Reserve went down with
her engines going at full speed, so sud
den was the hurricane. AS the crew
pulled away they could see the monster
putting and plunging in the waves until
she sank out of sight. There is no way
of identifying the place where the steamer
went down. 1t was out of sight of land
and there is no way of locating the wreck.
The yawl was capsized at the first shoal
from the shore by the breakers.
1t is not probable that any of the occu-
pants survived the cold and waves long
except Stewart, who had on a heavy knit,
close fitting jacket, which he says alone
saved him. He was entirely exhausted
| when he struck shore, and lay almost
| unconscious for an hour, until rescued
| blythe life-saving station.
The body of Lizzie Mcmillan, the cap
| tain's daughter. was found about seven
miles north of here. Parties at Pierpott
claim that four persons were seen in q
boat about two miles out at Z o'clock on
/ the evening of the capsizing of the
| schooner Toledo, but that the sea was
| running so high at the time no assistance
could be rendered. The boat afterward.
came ashore empty.

M,kiNLEY,s aBALANcE OF TRADE"
False Claim That Money from Europe
Is Flowing Into the Country.

False Claim That Money from Europe
Is Flowing Into the Country.
Governor Mckinley in his recent speech
in Nebraska spoke with contempt of the
well known economic law that imports
must be paid for with exports. The man
ner in which he sought to prove the falsity
of this doctrine is an excellent illustration
of his unfair useo of statistics. He pointed
triumphantly to the fact that during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1892 we ex-
ported nearly $500, 100000 more than we
imported. "This sum-" he exclaimed,
"hassbeen paid US by the foreigners, and
we have it right here in the United States
in circulation among the people,"
This was pretty piece of deception to
palm off upon Nebraska farmers, who be-
lieve that one of the greatest needs of the
time is more money in the country. This
deception might have worked with his
hearers at the moment, since they did not
have the United States treasury reports in
their hands to verify his statement. These
reports absolutely overthrow McKinley's
preposterous claim that there is now nearly
$500, 10000 more money in the country
| than last year. The monthly reports oil
the treasury, which are accessible to every
| body, show that the amount of currency
of all kinds in circulation on Dec. 1, 1891
was 81 SIT, 900, 900, and that on Aug. 1, 1892
/ IL VIZ Si,OoOSoOOsOOO' 44SEC 10 al 4ASlCo-ot
of only $23 ,O00, 900, which is more than &C
counted for by the issue of treasury Ger
tificates for the purchase of silver bullion
under the law of 1890.
| But there is still more conducive proc
| that the Mckinley law has not caused
money to flow into the country" Along
with the yearly report of exports and i'm
| ports of merchandise the treasury depart
ment publishes a statement of the move
ments of gold and silver coin and bullion
between the United States and foreig1
countries. This statement shows that w
not only did not get back McKinley's $500
100000 balance of trade" but that w
actually sent abroad SIS, 1851 900 more il
gold and silver than we imported.
Governor Mckinley will doubtless IT
peat this attempt to delude the people b
his talk about "balance of trade an
about his tariff law increasing the circula
of money in the country; but before h
goes any further he ought to have tn
treasury department suppress its reports.

THE statistics fiend has been at it
again, and this time he has compiled
some figures which are really inter
esting. AS the result of his researches
he says that of all the civilized coun-
tries in the world Russia has the largest
number of women criminals, especially
of the upper class. Going still further, he
makes a statement which should deeply
interest the many American women
who are addicted to the cigarette-smok-
ing habit. He says that these Russian
women who are so very bad have rem
dered themselves susceptible to the in
stincts of inherent crime by the intern
perate use of tea and cigarettes. They
begin these evil practices at an early
age, and work themselves up to a state
of nervous excitement in which they
gradually lose all sense of morality.

The fashion in music is all running to-

Mckinley Opposed to Free Sugar.

The Republicans are trying to make
much campaign capital out of the reduc
ton in the price of sugar caused by the
removal of the duty on raw sugar, and
this low price of sugar is even paraded be
fore a gullible world as a mckinley
price" Everybody knows that the re
moval of the duty has reduced the price
but Mckinley himself deserves no credit
for this result, for he was opposed to put
ting sugar on the free list. When the
tariff bill was under discussion Mckinley
said, II would have preferred, Mr.. Chair
man, if the article of sugar could have
been left upon the dutiable list"
Did he foresee that cheap sugar would
prove the greatest object lesson of the cen
fury in teaching the people the effect o.
the tariff?

Tho Boss Sea serpent.

When a man starts in to tell a sea
serpent story he must not lose sight of
the fact that it takes something pretty
tall to fasten the attention of even the
most amiable and indulgent of chair
warmers. The ordinary side-wheel
type of serpent, with the plain ecru
eyeballs and corrugated backbone, no
longer possesses any interest for sea-
side visitors. They have got to have
something elaborate and highly ornate
or they won't take any stock in it Elk
United States Treasurer James w.
Hyatt recently made a discovery in the
sea serpent line which, II reports be
true, will engage the attention OF the
most Indifferent. He was summering
at Scotch Cove, on the Atlantic coast,
and one day sighted his sea serpent.
which he described as most ferocious-
looking monster, its snake-like body
being, as near as he could judge,
seventy-eight feet and four inches long.
1t had head like a bull and a mag
nificent pair of antlers like those Of a
deer. It had a single eye in the center
of it's forehead, and solid streams of
water came from its nostrils at what
appeared to be tremendous high pres
sure. The queerest thing about the
serpent, he said, was it's method of loco
motion. Instead of squirming along
like great eel, its body, which was
covered with alternate scales of red,
white and blue, was as stiff as a tele-
graph pole, and for long time he was
puzzled to know what caused it to move
so rapidly. At last, however, he no
ticed at the extreme end of the long
body f1eshy mass, shaped like the pro
peller of steamer. 1t revolved at q
high rate of speed, and propelled the
reptile, as near as he could judge, with
cut a stop watch, at the rate Of twenty
six miles an hour. The propeller could
be wagged horizontally, thus acting a.
| rudder.
The stern-wheel sea serpent undoubt
edly takes the wreath for 1892, unless
more intricate variety can be produc ed

An Unfortunate NInlady.

Shoplifting has become such a nui-
sance in st. Louis that well-known
firms have adopted the plan of keeping
a gallery containing the photographs
of offenders. To this collection trusted
employees have access, and they are ex-
pected to keep a sharp lookout for the
originals of the pictures and see that
they are arrested if an attempt is made
to carry off goods. The gallery also
contains ikenesses of women of society
who are politely known as ''klepto-
maniacs," and who have to be dealt with
tactfully. 1.-THE number of women
afflicted with this unfortunate malady
in st. Louis" says q police officer Of
that city, REACHES well up into the
hundreds. Scarcely day passes with
out an attempt on the part Of klepto
maniacs to purloin articles of value from
some of the large dry goods or millinery
houses in the city. They usually seize
upon lace handkerchiefs, bits of ribbon
lace patterns, fancy articles, ornament!
and the like, and seldom purloin any
thing that cannot easily be secreted il
the folds of their dresses, tucked away
in their corsage, or concealed in thu
hand. Frequently the stolen article!
al rule the costliest bits of lace or fab
RIGS are the things that happen to strike
their fancy"

GUARD THE PEOPLES INTERESTS

GUARD THE PEOPLES INTERESTS.
The members of the court of common
council, who have sworn to protect the
peoples interests, should weigh well
their action in the matter of granting
the petition of the Horse Railroad Co.
First of all, they should leave politics
altogether out of question. 1t Is mat
ter of deep and equal concern to every
citizen of Waterbury.
We are asked to give in fee simple to
private corporation the right of way
through the principal streets of the city;
to allow hundreds of poles to be erected,
and miles of heavily charged electric
wires to be strung over our heads. There
is no reason why the Horse Railroad Co
should not pay for the great favors they
ask. The company was organized pri-
marily to make money for its stock
holders. That it will return large divi-
dends in the near future there is no
doubt. Conservative PEOPLE who have
watched the growth Cf Waterbury are
on record as predicting that the popula-
| ton will increase to so, 900 within fifteen
years. Unless there should be some I'M
looked for calamity the city is bound to
grow, and with each passing year the
franchise of the Horse Railroad Co will
increase in value. 1t is for this reason that
the DEMOCRAT urges the members of the
lcommon council to demand a certain
per centage of the gross receipts in ex
change for the franchise.
Because other cities have been back
ward in demanding concessions from
their street car companies Is no reason
why Waterbury should make the same
mistake, and it would be fatal mis-
take, to give the Horse Railroad com
pany the use of our streets forever
without cost. If the company is no
yet on a paying basis allow it five year
or ten years free use of the streets, afte
which the council may determine
whether or not it is able to pay the cit,
= a share of its earnings; but do not Civ
up forever such valuable franchise.

THE NEWBRlDGE RIOT.
Several win Die as the Result of the La

LONDON. Sep. 3.-More trouble is feared
at Newbridge, where strike is in pro-
gress at the salt works. The riot
was terrible one, and may result
in several fatalities. One hundred and
ffty non-unionists were sent from Liver
pool to take the places of the strikers.
Unionist scouts in Liverpool tele-
graphed ahead that the non-unionists
were coming, and when the train reached
the station several hundred men, led
by strikers, had gathered to prevent the
new men from leaving the carriages.
Most of the men on the train had armed
themselves with knives in expectation of
trouble. Despite the warning shouts OF
the crowd, about half the non unionists
left the train.
They were attacked with stones and
clubs, and a handto-hand fight followed
between them and the front ranks of the
strikers. The on-unionists drew their
knives and cut right and left among the
strikers, injuringssome 40 men severely.
Strikers in the rear of the crowd mean
time bombarded the train.
