EIGHTH Wonder of the World.

When Andrew Carnegie left Pittsburg
a few DAYS ago for New York and thence
to Europe, a newspaper reporter asked
him about the condition of the iron and
steel business Mr.. Carnegie answered
thus: 81 do not need to say anything
about it it speaks for itself. One pound
of steel for one cent The robber baron
has ceased to rob and is now being rob-
bed. The eighth wonder of the world is
this-two pounds of ironstone purchased
on the shores OF Lake Superior and
transported to Pittsburg; two pounds OF
coal mined at Connelsville and manu>
featured into one and a quarter pounds
of coke and brought to Pittsburg; one
half-pound of limestone mined east OF
the Alleghanies and brought to Pitts
burg, little manganese ore mined in
Virginia and brought to Pittsburg, and
these four and a half pounds of material
manufactured into one pound OF solid
steel and sold for one cent. That's all
| that need be said about the steel bust
ness The capacity of the country to
manufacture is beyond its wants. Some
! furnaces and mills must stop, others
must restrict production, and until that
| is done we must expect to continue at
low prices. 1t is the same all over the
world. England is even worse than we
are. but she has endured the depression
so long that she has now closed many OF
her works The longer all parties con-
tinue to run the lower prices continne to
run the lower prices will become and
the more disastrous the stop will be to
some of these when the end comes"

to lay all other remedies aside. l did
so, and within week was we'll of my

become depraved and the system en-

naladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
10 the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
Liver complaint and Indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
oil. Within the time mentioned severai
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
: rilla 1 could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to Your
directions, l found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life,"
