Does any one suppose that
our trade would have increas-

our customers good value for
their money? NOT MUCH!
In these times of Reform"

trade where a dollar will 90
the farthest. That's the reas-
on why our trade is increasing
SO rapidly. No dealer ever
got very wealthy selling cheap

ever kept in a general store

There's soide difference
between the help that's talked of
and the help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-purifier
but one. That one is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get a guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, a medi-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.

Ir is reported that Mrs. Maybrick,
becoming hopeless and desperate, at
tempted to kill herself by stabbing
herself with table knife in a work
ing prison. Mrs. May brick was con-
victed of murder by poisoning her
husband by giving him arsenic, when
it was in proof that he habitually took
arsenic, was in point of fact an arsenic
fiend. The highest law official in
England has admitted that it was not
proven beyond doubt that he died of
arsenic poison, but under the instruc-
tions of an English court this poor
American woman is serving out life
imprisonment III working prison
under a sentence obtained by power
full influence, while she is thought to
be innocent by hundreds Ofintelligent
people who have examined carefully
all the testimony in the case. Poor
woman, no wonder this life seems to
her too much of a burden to bear.
Stronger people have yielded to des-
peration and ended their lives under
less tempting circumstances.

THE gradual dropping in the price
of middling cotton to Z cents is at
tributable to the decentralization of the
cotton market at Liverpool and il can
not be regarded as permanent. The
end ofthe strike Of cotton spinners has
not encouraged the market as yet as it
was expected, but resumption of work
by so many factories must at some
time soon have good effect on the
market. The fall in cotton may also
to some extent be attributable to the
report that the planters are putting in
large crop this year.

In very doubtful tulogy of Seth
Shepard the st. Louis Republic justi'
fies him for the reason, as it asserts,
that he bolted deliberately while the
others bolted prematurely. 1t would
seem to people who are in the habit
Of reasoning that if deliberate bolt
was justifiable that it also justified a
premature or any other kind of bolt,
but when the st. Louis Republic gets
upon this subject it never reasons,
and is not ameanable to the rules of
logic or common sense.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-04-26

The Southern governors conven-
ton at Richmond expressed the real
needs of the South. 1t wants immi'
grafton, but not ordinary laborers.
We have enough of them even if the
quality is inferior. We want indus
trious men with some capital. A man
need not expect to come South and
fs rm successfully without some CAPT.
tai. He does not need large amount,
not as much as he would need in the
agricultural regions East and North,
but he must have enough to stock
his farm, pay for hale OF
it and support his family for a
year. If he has that much
he risks nothing in coming South.
The mistake made by the emigration
into Virginia just after the war was
that they could buy farm on credit
and pay for it out of the products.
That is dangerous experiment, even
in more favorable locality like Texas
We want good men, but we do not de-
sire to deceive them. Deception never
results in any benefit to a country in
viting immigration. AS far as Texas
is concerned the facts are inducement
enough. Northern and Eastern agri.
culturists have no idea of the advan-
tages offered them in Texas. Ac
quaint them with the facts and we
will soon double in population.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
R. g. Dun & Co. on the Condition Of the
Business Of the Country.

New YORK, April 2l.-R. g. Dun Il
Co IS Weekly Review says:
Monetary doub BITS have overshadowed
all other influences at New York, but
have not yet greatly effected trade at
most other points. Wheat has fallen
2 IL cents, with sales of 4 100000 BUSH
els here; corn % 8 cents, and coffee
l Is cents. Wheat receipts have been
1900, 900 bushels at western ports in
tour days, and Atlantic exports net
100000 bushels. Pork products are
somewhat lower, though declining less
than corn.
In cotton market liquidation con-
tinued and with sales OF 200, 900 bales
here the price dropped SIC. The
weeks receipts from plantations are
fully up to last years. and Southern
advices generally indicate some in
crease this year in acreage. Reports
from other cities show extensive en-
barrassment from severe storms and
backward spring, with some sign of
sbrinkage in trade from other causes.
Inc tardy spring makes clOtnlng
quiet and the advance in shoes re-
tard buying. The building trade is
active aud demand for lumber large.
Sales Of wool are large.
At Omaha and st. Joe trade is good.
Business at Kansas City is very quiet,
with large receipts and lower prices
for cattle. " Gather retards trade at
Louisville, and at Nashville, Knox
vile and Little Rock business is quiet
Atlanta is fair for the season.
At Mobile cotton is moving more
freely, and at New Orleans sugar is
strong, but rice and other trade is
quiet, with money in active demand.
Business failures during the last
seven days are 20S, compared with
total of 2O9 last week; corresponding
week lest year the figures were POI.
