The New York Suns Mixture,

More than twenty years ago,
when it was found that pre- vention
of cholera was easier than cure a
prescription drawn up by eminent
doctors was published in the New
York San, and it took the name of
the San cholera medicine.
Our contemporary never lent its
name to a better article. We have
seen it in constant use for nearly
two score years, and found it to be
the best remedy for loosenesss of
the bowels ever vet devised.
No one who has this by him. and
takes it in time, will ever have the
cholera.
We commend it to all our friends
even when no cholera is anticipated
for it is an excellent remedy for or
binary summer complaints, collie,
diarrhma, etc.
Take equal parts of tincture of
cayenne pepper, tincture opium.

If the United States is not pro-
ducing tin plate in commercial
quantities, why are 60 Welsh tin

If the Mckinley wool duties did

why has the price of wool fallen in
the London market over 81 per

the same time the fall in the price
Of American wool has been only Z
per cent?
Are not protective duties on for

prevent the price of American wool
from being the same as the price of
wool IN the worlds market?
Is the Hon. NJ. Il. Stevens, of
Massachusetts,, wool manufacturer,
in favor of free wool because it
would benefit the farmer?
Why should Labor Commits

the Mckinley law has increased
wages and given life to industry,
cause such great sorrow in the free

by the Democracy with a prophecy
of failure. These false prophets of
1861 made them selves permanently
hoarse in vociferously crying out
that coercion would be a failure.
Yet it succeeded, to the discomfit-
ure of those who rose against the
Government and those who only
rose against it to the extent of sym
pathizing with them.
The Democracy fought an entire
campaign with Mcclellan as its
candidate upon its prophecy that
the war was a failure. In the very
heat of that campaign, while the
stumpers for the Democracy were
loading the air of every Northern
State with their lugubrious predic-
tions that the Union could not be
restored by force of arms, Atlanta
fell and that campaign of the false
prophets collapsed.
SO every feature of Republican
reconstruction was denounced as
impracticable, and yet Southern
States have been fully participating
in every branch of the Government
for nearly, or over, quarter of a
century.
The war debt could never be paid
according to these prophets of evil.
But to-day it forms no appreciable
burden upon the people. The ma
tons of the old world have looked
on in establishment at the rapiditv
with which this enormous debt has
disappeared. To-day there is no
nation whose finances are in as
sound and healthful condition as
ours.
These oracles of gloom were GER
tain that resumption would fail.
1t could not be otherwise. And
they continued to demonstrate its
impossibility up to the very day
that it came under Republican or
dering
The national bank system was to
be speedy and total failure. and
yet for long years it has proved to
be the safest and most satisfactory
banking system that the nation has
known.
Just now these prophets have
concentrated their dolefnl utteran-
ces and their predictions of disaster
upon the Mckinley bill. But as
the whole orchestra, which has
been industriously tuning up In
discords, was about to break forth
in the notes of doom, along came
the Peck labor report to utterly
confound them with the proof from
Democratic sources that the Nc
Kinley law has increased wages, and
stimulated production to an un-
precedented degree.
These prophets were not only ac-
tive against the recent tariff act,
but they were equally sure that
reciprocity would prove a failure of
large proportions. But within a
year our exports have increased with
rapidity never known before,
our breadstuffs and provisions are
once more finding an abundant
market, and the balance of trade
is more largely in our favor than
for many years.
Writers and speakers will find it
Interesting and politically profita-
BILE to recall the countless and per-
sistent Democratic efforts in the line
of prophesying evil of Republican
measures, and set over against them
the successful results of every i'm
portant Republican undertaking.
