Brandreth's pills are the great blood
purifier They are purgatlve and
blood tonic, they act equally on the
bowels, the kidneys, and the skin, thus
cleansing the system by the natural
outlet of the body-they may be called
the purgative sudorific and diuretic
medicine. They stimulate the blood
so as to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors, and cure disease no
matter by what name 1t may be called.
One or two of them taken every night
will prove an infallible remedy.
Sold in every drug and medicine store

The population Of Ireland in 1891, ac-
cording to the revised returns, was
1851. 1.24S. The natural increase of popu-
lation, or excess of births over deaths,
for the year. was 22,117 and the loss by
emigration was SO, ,62S; 21,475, marriages
were registered within the year, and 1t
Is significant Of the religious feeling
which exists in all parts of Ireland that
only 300 were by civil contract in the
registrars office. 1t is significant in
this connection that this emigration
comes In very small proportion from
Protestant Ulster, the seat of Irish
loyalty to British rule, and the home
rule agitation will inevitably subside
In like proportion with the decrease
in population. The plan Of dividing
Ireland into four sovereign states may
yet be brought into prominence.

LITERARY NOTE.

Josiah Aliens Wife" has visited
Chicago, and will give the results Of
her observations in book entitled
Samantha at the Worlds Fair" the
early publication Of which is announced
by Funk & Wagnalls Company There
can be no doubt that the impressions
of the unsophisticated but irrepressible
Samantha in regard to Christopher
Columbus and his nineteenth century
admirers will be exceedingly rich read
ing. Samantha went to Chicago with
authority to tender the freedom of
Jonesville to the Duke Of Veragua,
but why he has not seen fit to accept
doth not yet appear. Possibly Josiah
can explain on the ground that his too
fastidious spouse wouldn' allow him to
arrange bull-fght in the back mead
ow for the dukes entertainment. Chi
cago presents a large field for Saman-
tha's genius to caper in. Her encoun-
ters with the Infanta, Mayor Harrison,
PaderewslSi and other features" Of
the Fair are most laughable. Her trip
through the Midway Plaisance, and her
comments on the sedan chairs, the gon-
dolas, the cave Of the cliff-dwellers, the
Eskimo village, etc, are slde-splitting.
The volume, which will, Of course, be

and will be a much-prlzed souvenir of
the Fair both by those who have been
there and seen the sights described by
the inimitable Samantha, and also for
those who were not so fortunate.

ConSOlid ltiuE.

There is no longer any reason to
doubt that the railroads of New Eng.
land will drop into two systems The
placing of the Maine. the New Eng
land and the Reading roads under one
management indicates plainly enough
one of these dominant systems. We
may soon expect to see the Concord
and Montreal the Old Colony and the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
roads getting together possibly un-
der Vanderbilt influences. At any
rate forces are now in operation
which will make combination
against Reading business necessity.
When this is consummated. what will
prevent the new system from
following the example Of Read
ING and freezing out the middlemen
who now deal in grain beef and pro-
visions? The fact that a block OF
Reading stock recently passed into
Vanderbilt hands and that the Van
derbllt brokers had hand in me-
gotiating the Reading combine. gives
rise to the rumor that all New Eng
land is to be brought under one man
agement. Good luck to our masters

carried on a modern War of the
Roses and exterminated each other

For Over-PrOf1uct


The National Waterman has been
examining the report of the secretary
of agriculture for facts. Here are
some facts which it wants the over
ductionists 10 salt down for future
reference:

wheat per capita raised in the United
States. and the average price was
$1.9S per busheL In 1888 there
was 5. O3 bushels of wheat per capita
raised in the United States and the
price was only 81 cents per bushel.
Will some one tell US why the farmer
got 81. II less per bushel for his wheat
in 1888 than ne did in 1867. when there
was less wheat in proportion to the
population in 1883 than there was in
1867?
In 1867 there was % bushels Of
corn per capita and the average
price was 80 cents per bushel. In

In 1917 there was bushels per capita

there wass10 bushels per capita and
the price was 80 cents.
In 1867 there was one COW to every
four of a population. price $40. In
1877 there was one COW to every four
Of a population and the price was

Why is it that when there is exactly
the same number Of cattle in proper

should fall e14 per head? Let some

Is 1t Ignorance or ..Cussedness:''
We clip the following paragraph
from the presidents last annual mes
sage. 1t is absolutely SO absurd as to
lead the intelligent reader to doubt
the honesty of the writer: 1T is
true that the market price Of cotton
and wheat have been low. 1t is one
of the unfavorable incidents of agri-
culture that the farmers cannot pro-
duce upon orders He must sow and
reap in ignorance of the aggregate
production of the year. and is pc
culiarly subject to the depreciation
which follows overproduction. But
while the facts l have stated are true
as to the crops l have mentioned the
general average OF prices have been

ty." >

of which the president speaksP Has
anyone seen any of the indications of
itP Do they exist in the low prices
of agricultural products Of which he
speaks or are they to be found in
Consider for moment what must

will state the cause of the low prices
of agricultural products to be over
production. There is to begin with a
smaller per capita production this
year than there was twenty years ago
when the export price of wheat was
$1.47 per bushel and corn 70 cents.
and yet in the face of largely in
creased export demand, the price of
wheat to-day averages about Il cents
and corn about AZ cents. At the same
time there are millions of people who
are furnishing for the want of food
which they are unable to buy.

dishonesty that a president OF the
