Pertinent Points.

From the American Economist.
The per capita amount of interest paid on
the national debt In 1866 was $4.12, the
total amount of interest payable then being
SiSS,067 625 per annum. Last year the
amount OF interest paid per capita of ouI
population was only S0.34 for each man,
woman and child In the United States, the
total amount of interest paid having been
reduced to $23,S7s,116 per annum. Thus
in less than thirty years there has been a
decrease of SO. 70 In average annual interest
charged to every inhabitant Of the United
States, and decrease of almost $1,000
900 in the aggregate charge. The way in
which Republican Administrations paid of
the national debt under the Protective policy
should not be forgotten at this juncture
when Congress is now in complete Demo
cratic control, with promises of Free-Trade
and the unsettement of all our industries.
The receipts of Government in 1866
amounted to over $55s, 10000 which was
an average of $15.73 per capita of our popu-
lation. But last year these receipts had
decreased to less than 1856, 200, 000 diff
ference of $203, 900, 600 within twenty-seven
years, and decrease of S.. 43 for each one
of the population. The actual amount of
taxation during this period was reduced by
$10.24 for every man, woman and child in
the country. This is not such bad show
ing for Protection and there was decrease
of 81 per head during the two years, from
1890 to 1892, Immediately after the passage
Of the Mckinley act, which was such
burden upon the people"
Nearly thirty years ago, and soon after
the Republican Administration first came
into power, the aggregate expenditures of
the Government amounted to $1,297, 555,
224, which was ''burden of taxation" of
$37,34 upon every inhabitant IN the United
States. BY careful, economic administra-
ton, by the judicious management of the
public purse and by the healthy advance
ment of all American industries through a
steady system of Protection, these enormous
expenditures were reduced down to less than
$3.50, 900, 900 in 1892, which was $50 less
per capita of our population.
In 1865 our national debt, less cash in the
Treasury, was So, O74, s15, $3.50. After almost
thirty years CT Republican Protective AID.
ministration this was reduced down to $S41,-
526, 464 in 1892. This was decrease from
SIT per capita of our population to only
$l2.s 81 last year. Does this look as if Pro.
lection had been hurtful to the American
nation and to the American people?

a New Certain Cure for Piles.

We do not intend to indorse any except
articles Of genuine merit; we therefore
take pleasure in recommending to suffer
ers from Piles in any form, prompt and
permanent cure. The following letters
speak for themselves:
Mrs. Mary c. Tyler, of Heppner, Ore,
writes: One pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure
had the slightest return of them since.
Mr.. E. OBrien, Rock Bluffs, Neb.,
says: The pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure
entirely removed every trace of itching
piles. I cannot thank you enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is a new, GER
tain, painless cure for every form of piles.
1t is safe, sure and cheap. Any druggist
will get it for you if you ask him.

How to Lay Out Curved wa,l..

A very quick way to lay out a curved
walk Is to use clothesline or small rope
in the direction it is desired to have the
walk, and when the proper curve is at
tanned drive small sticks into the ground
at short intervals alongside the rope. To
get the line for the other side Of the
walk cut stick as long as you want the
width Of the walk to be and use for spac-
ing, setting a second row Of stakes.
Leave the stakes in position until the
walk is finished.

Examination Free to All.

Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 10 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, believ-
ing It to be part of the PHYSICIANS duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate a monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect of a cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his first
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner In all re-
gpects. Following the plan OF st. Georges
Hospital of London, he registers every
Particular as to the patients physical con-
dtion and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and oil dis
eased parts, and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease In this way the en-
tire amount Of vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power or the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities OF the dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
of tho tissues and the effect OF specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case Is
durable or not, and can also give the ap-
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in a few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.

In or near growing city like Detroit,
land is positively certain to increase
rapidly in value, and cannot fail to add
wealth to the purchaser. Every me-
chanic, laborer, merchant, clerk, or
business man, should own land. There
is not reader of this, but who may
own from one to fifty lots in Detroit,
which will pay fifty to two hundred per
cent on the money invested.
Money invested in Detroit Real Es-
tate is better than to place the same in
any savings bank.

TRUE CONVERSATION.
1t Is Conspicuousiv Lacking from tho Dia-
Iogue of To- Day.


Iogue of To- Day.
1t is very curious to one how very
much dialogue there is in the world
and how very little true conversation;
how very little, that is, of the genuine
attempt to compare the different bear
ings of the same subject on the minds
of different people. You may look
through the greatest of Shakespeare's
plays and hardly find in this sense
true conversation in any one of them.
And, indeed, conversation in this sense
is very seldom truly dramatic, and can
not often be so. Nevertheless, one
would expect to find instances of
real comparison of the state of
different minds on the same sub
ject in Walter Savage Landor's 'Imag-
mary Conversations" and yet you will
hardly find one of them in which the
attempt was made. even by the author,
much less by any of the imaginary in
terlocutors, to enter thoroughly into
the views of those with whom he had
been de ling. There is plenty of char
acteristic and contrasted prejudice in
Landor's Imaginary Conversations
but hardly any trace of the real prob
ing of each others minds.
Plato understood true conversation
conversation in the higher sense. His
Socrates continually succeeds in prob
ing the mind of another, and making
that other enter into his own.

sation of the kind we mean. But for
the most part dialogue is gossip, or
wrangling, or plotting. or counter
plotting, or menacing, or conciliating,
or complimenting, or submitting. 1t
is the rarest thing in the world to
come even in the best authors. on a
successful picture of the diff erent
views taken by different minds of the
same subject, and the grounds of the
difference Even in politics we
seldom meet with it. though
the late Mr.. Charles Buxton
and his son have carefully prepared the
way for such an appreciation, by plac-
ing in close comparison the different
views taken of the same political sub
ject. That. however, is not political
conversation. but only the raw material
for such conversation. We can not but
wonder that in day so full as this OF
real and careful study, so few should
have the patience 10 present the various
contrasts of opinion. thought and feel
ing on some of the most important sub
jects of human life, in the living and
picturesque form in which Plato has
given us the moral antagonisms OF
Greece, and Newman the theological
antagonisms Of modern England.

Language of tho House Fly.

An English inquirer, armed with a
microphone, or sound-m gnifier, has
been listening patiently through long
hours to the curious noises made by
house-fies. and reports his belief that
they have a language of their own.
The language does not consist of the
buzzing sound which we ordinarily
hear. which is made by the rapid vi
brations of their wings in the air, but
of smaller. finer and more widely
modulated series of sounds, audible to
the human ear only by the aid of the
microphone. Probably this fly CONVEX
sation is perfectly audible to the fly
ears. which. as every schoolboys knows
who has tried to move his hand slowly
upon them. are very acute. The hope
is expressed that. since the heretofore
inaudible whispers of flies have been
detected and recorded, some inventor
may construct a microphone which
will enable us to make out the language
of the micropes, and so surprise them
in the horrible secret of their mode of
operations.
