Tribute.

While it is over thirty years ago since
Allcock's Porous Plasters were first intro
duced TO the medical profession and
public, the marked success and unprece-
centsd popularity which they met with
not only continues, but steadily increases
No other plasters have been introduced
which gain so many testimonials of high
value as those continuously accorded to
Allcock's Porous Plasters and the only
motive for these exceptional tributes lies
In the fact of their being medical and
pharmaceutical preparation of superior
value. Additional proof of the true VAL
ne of Allcock's Porous Plasters lies in
the fact that they are being largely imi-
tated by interruptions persons. who seek
to deceive the public by offering plasters

st. Louis Railway Men Discredit Certain
Chica go Statements.
ST. LOUIS, Feb I1.-For the last two or
three weeks rumor have been rife regard
Ing preparations among railway switch
men, brakemen, conductors, engineers and
firemen for a general strike to extend all
over the country, commencing few weeks
before the opening of the Worlds fair.
These reports are said to come from Chi
cago,' st. Paul ard other railway centers,
none of them emanating from st. Louis.
A reporter called at the Union station yes
terday and interviewed members of the va
rious organizations, but none of them
had heard anything regarding general
strike further than the reports they had
seen published in the papers They have
no grievances to strike for, they say.
Grievance Committeeman's View.
Chairman William Cadle, of the griev-
ance committee o; the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, southwest system,
who is at the Lac EIDE, does not believe any
foundation exists so far as his order is con-
cerned, for the statement that a general
railroad strike will be inaugurated with
the opening of the Worlds fair at Chicago.
He is quoted as saying that unforeseen de-
velopments may create misunderstand-
Ing, but relies on the fact that the rail
roads will be as little anxious to precipi-
tate trouble as the men to forefend such a
denouement

two company men up. One of the strikers
had stone. After considerable squabbling

IT is impossible TO legislate in the
interest OF any specific class without
doing injury to those engaged in
other pursuits. Our government Is
sustained BY taxing the people, there-
fore when laws are enacted TO furnish

any specific nation 1t affects, Injurious
ly, the interests Of those not enga geh
ia that business. The injustice rs
equally as great for the government
to furnish a market for any one COM
modify. In the passage of the Sher'-
man law the government did UNDER
take TO furnish a market for those
engaged IN mining silver bullion.
But aside from the injustice of turn>
ishiHg market for one and not for
all commodities, the result OF the
Sherman law, according to the au>
thor's own statement, has been loss
of $50. 900, 900 to the government,
on account of the depreciation OF sill
YER bullion. 1t is said that the
cause of the depreciation is because
we did not have free coinage. In order
TO ascertain the truihfulness of such
assertions il is necessary for as to in
vesligate the effect that free Coinage
has had upon those nations that have
adopted that policy. The mist
potent nation, financially, we pre-
sumo that is now on q silver basis, is
Mexico. But instead OF seeing a
realization of the visionary glorious
prosperity as depicted by the Worship
pers Of silver, we find that Mexico,
although silver is coined free within
her domain, 10 i'm state of iRertness,
business at almost q standstill, its
money decreasing in its purchasing
power with the decrease in the price
of silver. Instead OF q stable il has
a fluctuating currency, thus causing
an nnsettlement of values and un-
easiness of mind. Those of that na
ton desiring exchange either in
Europe or the United States, are
compelled to pay "a per cent,
