The American Economist has re.
| gently called attention, on more than
! one occasion, to the growth of anti.
Free-Trade sentiments among the En-
glish people We have from time to
time quoted the utterances of leading
statesmen and editors which have por-
trayed unmistalSable disgust with Cob
denis policy. The agricultural popula-
ton has never been quite reconciled to
unrestricted competition with Russia
and America, but so long as the great
manufacturing centcrs favored the pre-
vailing system the farmers protest
against it was unavailing.
But lately the English farmer has
not been the only one that has been
pinched One by one tariffs mounted
upward in other countries, with n view
to developing their own instead of
England's manufacturing resources.
These so expanded under their respec-
tive protective policies that they began
to seek an outlet in foreign markets.
And what so convenient as that of
England, unprotected and at their
mercy CuIIcTy' tcAtllcS, JcWelTy, pa
per wares, mechanics tools, machinery,
earthenware and even military sup
plies, began to pour in on England IN
flood.
1t was more than the English manu-
featuring free-trader bargained for
when he was called upon to take cheap
iron and cloth along with the cheap
loaf which had already ruined British
agriculture. And as the stream of
manufactured imports increased from
year to year concurrently with the
more and more stringent exclusion of
British manufactures from the mar
kets of the world, not even excepting
England's own colonies, British arti-
zans, who were forced into idleness by

THE CITY OF WASECA.
A Minnesota Town Famous for Its
Flour.

Flour.
The city of Waseca, Minnesota, has
become famous as the place where
White Rose -four is made. In the North,
In the South, in the East or in the

Such is the influence that a good arti-
Gle has with the American people.

STRONG
ENDORSEMENT!

We have often called attention Of the
readers of this paper to the fact that
REDS GERMAN COUGH AND KID
NEY CURE contains no poison. When
IS considered that the rest of the popu
~ cough remedies contain opiates or
poison in some form, this claim on behalf
of REDS is an important one. We de.
sire therefore to present in sub
sanitation of this claim the following
letter from Heber Chase, a well-known
citizen of Wady Petra, Stark Co., Ill,
and a worthy man:
WADY PETRA, H., April 9th, lS92.-

American Trade with China.

The summary by the Imperial Mari
time Customs of China of foreign trade
during the past records a great increase
of American traffic with the Celestial
Empire. Importations of American
drills show an excess over 1890 of 2G3,-
600 pieces, and American sheetings of
sO7, 900 pieces, the total import of the
latter-2,OO 900 pieces-being the
largest on record. 'Sle use of Ameri-
can oil shows n much larger proper
tionate increase than Russian oil, the
consumption of American oil for 1891
being about 10000, 600 gallons, as
against 10, 600, 900 gallons of Russian
oil.
The figures indicate that the United
States has Il valuable trade with China,
and that the Chinese prefer, to u large
extent, the products of American labor
to the goods offered to them by Eng
land. Undoubtedly one reason of this
is that, while American goods cost
more, they are of honest manufacture,
whereas England thinks anything good
enough for the Asiatic.

You're through

oufe WT0ugD
with Catarrh, finally and completely,
or you have $500 in cash.
That's what is promised you, no
matter how bad your case or of how
long standing, by the proprietors Of
DIR. Ssge's Catarrh Remedy.
Catarrh can be cured. Not with
the poisonous, irritating snuffs and
strong, caustic solutions, that simply
palliate for time, or perhaps, drive
the disease to the lungs-but with
DR.. Sage's Remedy.
The worst cases yield to its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing prop
critics. "Cold in the Head" needs
but few applications. Catarrhal
Headache, and all the effects of Ca
tarrh in the Head such as often
sive breath, loss or impairment Of
the senses of taste, smell and hear
ing, watering or weak eyes-are at
once relieved and cured.
In thousands of cases, where eve
erything else has failed, DR.. Sage's
Remedy has produced perfect and
permanent cures. That gives its
proprietors faith to make the offer.
It's $500, or a cure. They mean
to pay you, if they can't cure you.
But they mean to cure you,, and
they can.
