s. P. SMITH, of Towanda, Pa,
whose constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayers
Sarsaparilla. He writes:
"For eight years, was, most of the
time, great sufferer from constipa-
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges-
tion, so that my constitution seemed
to be completely broken down. was
induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excellent results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con-
dition, and in all their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
I began taking Ayers Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds; now can
brag Of 159 pounds, and was never in so
good health. If you could see me be-
fore and after using, you would want
me for travelling advertisement.
I believe this preparation Of Sarsaparilla
to be the best in the market to-day"

The Need Of an Income Tax.

II is now probAble that the present
Congress will make an income tax q
part Of our financial system. The rea-
sons for doing 30 are mapy and conclu-
sive.
The Government must have greater
revenues to meet its expenses, and there
is no better, fairer or surer way Of rails
ing the money than by tax on in
comes.
It Is an equitable tax, because IL is
levied upon wealth and not upon in
dustry.
1t is flexible tax because its rates
Of imposts may be increased or dimin
ished from year to year, according to
treasury needs, without in any way
changing the conditions of ordinary
business.
II we raise our revenues mainly from
tariff duties their amounts must great
ly vary. Some years there must be q
surplus tempting extravaganza. In
other years there must be deficit sug-
gesting changes in the rates Of duty.
But frequent changes In tariff duties
are disastrous because they alter the
conditions under which business and
industry must be carried on. This is
the chief vice of . revenue system
which relies upon tariffs mainly and
has no easily variable tax with which
to check surplus or supply deficiency.
All experience shows that an income
tax meets this requirement more per-
fectly than any other. Changes in Its
rates 10 no way affect the prices either
OF raw materials or OF manufactured
products. 1t may be per cent. one
year, "a the next and 10 the third
without In the least altering any of
those conditions upon the stability Of
which the merchant and the manu-
facturer must found their business cal
culations.
Ignorant and interested opponents Of
this most scientific tax are trying to
create prejudice against it by calling
1t "war tax In time Of peace" But
so is our present Al per cent. tariff. 1t
was increased to an enormous average
for war purposes at time when no
less an excuse would have gained popu-
lar consent to the advances made. The
duties were raised with very distinctly
implied promises that they should be
lowered again when the war necessity
passed away. Instead Of that they
have been still further advanced until
now their imposition upon all the peo-
pie Is boldly claimed as a right by that
small part of the people whom the
system enriches.
The income tax is no more a war tax
than Is the internal revenue tax on
whiskey, beer and tobacco. But what
If it were? Have we not war burdens
upon us to the extent of more than
5000, 100000 annually? And is It not
our war burdens that create the present
necessity of increased revenue?
The income tax meets a revenue
necessity. 1t happens also to be the
best, most equitable and least disturb
ing Of all devices for raisin the money
which the Government must have.

The Presidents Body Guard.

It 10 said that since the assassination
of Mayor Carter Harrison, Of Chicago,
. detective has been detailed as a body
guard for President Grover Cleveland.
The escort on horseback follows the
Presidents brougham to and from his
country home, and stands behind him
when he allghts, his keen eyes scan
ming the crowd that always awaits the
President. When the President 10 lost
to sight In the vestibuie, the somewhat
mysterious person draws sight Of re-
lief. AT . superficial glance the guards
spurs appear to be the most warike
instruments upon his person, but sus-
picious looking hump upon each hip,
indicates there Is something under
meath his coat which would make it a
very dangerous matter to meddle with
the movements Of Grover Cleveland.
The man thus chosen TO guard the
President Is Benjamin T. Rhodes, q
well known detective Of the police
force, who has been detailed IS body
guard for the President, ever since the
tragic death Of Carter Harrison. Mr..
Rhodes goes out every cabinet day to
escort his charge to the city, and fol-
lows the carriage closely when busi-
ness Is finished for the day. The de-
tective wears citizens clothes and
there Is nothing in his appearance to
indicate the nature of his mission.

Growing Crops.

There are several conditions necessary

IL must be prepared 10y blowing and har-
rowing to receive the seed: it must ALSO
he titled so Us to prevent the growth OF
weeds or grass hat would, besides inter
ferlng with the natural growth Of the
plant, draw suNtrnance from the soil.
The movement of the soil also admits OF
its mratiOn SO that the moisture may be
absorbed and With it nutrtive gases, or
such as will act upon the elements Of the
soil and better fit them for plant food.
Fertility is absolutely necessary or else
the crop will fail. Sometimes mere ex-
posure to the air. OF the soil, by blowing
and working over, will change its aVaila-
biIity for plant food in a surprising man
ner.
Observation teaches that q suitable
preparation of soil enters largely as an
ViVth0H' vi HuCCeSS III llle grown on crops;
there must at all times be good seed
bed, not only in which the seed is to be
deposited, but one suited to the extern
sion of the develOpt roots and rOOtlets.
Thorough blowing and narrowing will
accomplish all that is necessary in that
line, and then this condition should be
maintained as nearly as can be through
out the growing season. This can be ac-
cOmplished by an occasional use of the
cultivatOr or horse hoe. A hard, com.
pact soil is wholly unsuitable to the best
development of crops. - VIM. H. Yeo-

The Diamond state Harness

After visiting the shirt factory, we turn
ed our attention to our other industry the
harness mandatory, which has grown
from small beginning to thriving and
paying industry. 1t started in st. Georges
under the management off. C. Parker.
In 1884 he moved his store to Middletown,
where his business grew SO rapidly, that he
decided to make harness on larger scale,
and in 1880 he commenced tie wholesale
business. During the year he sold 335 sets
of harness.
Since then business has increased yearly,
and this yeur, in spite of the times, they
have sold 600 sets, besides many hundred
blankets, robes, horse collars and in fact,
anything and everything in this line. This
firm has brought trade to our town and
country this year, of $25, 900 worth of busi-
ness. Mfr. Parker employs, during the busy
season, from is to IS hands, which is equal
to 80 hands capacity. They use the cele-
brated, Campbell Lock-stitch machine,
which is run by steam power. Many fine
custom jobs have been turned out of this
establishment for home custom, which are
mode of the very best stock, and made ex-
clusively by hand. They are now busy,
making preparations for the spring trade,
which they believe will result with the
same yearly gain as heretofore.

John Brophy, the man who was shot last

let, but failed to find it. The neck and nearly
tie entire upper portion ofbody were care

column and was DETECTED and took down

and had worked for Spears mother during

be found, there where no possible reason to
doubt that Brophy came to his death from
the wound inflicted by pistol in the hands
ofSpear, and upon this evidence and other
evidence of Malsberger and Galloway, who
saw the shooting, the verdict was made up.

defend Spear.

and RaZaar

The Middletown Circle Has a Supper
and Bazaar.
The new Temperance Headquarters in
the Willis Building on Main street was the
scene of much activity last night, the occa-
sion being a supper and bazaar by the
Kings Daughters.
A number of tables were prettily spread,
and oysters, salads, coffee, cocoa and bus
cults were daintily served by the winsome
maidens in bright array. Fancy articles
were also numerous, all pretty, and some
very useful, just the things for Christmas
presents, made by the deft fingers of the
King's Daughters. The proceeds are to be
applied to local charity. These girls are
doing good work, and when it is remem-
bered that their every effort is made in His
name, there could be no greater incentive
to help in good work. The circle is en-
tirely unsectarian and is one of the most
beautiful organizations in existance. The
girls did well with their undertaking,
and we wish them God speed in their work
Of love, in His name.
