ton of that case. He testified that 1t was
administered by Associate Judge Horace

stances that made his memory so clear on
that point The evidence OF the state
tended to show that respondent ana not

stances surrounding the Pixley hre, ana

BRIGHT SPRING DAYs.-The spring should
be pre-eminently "A season OF contentment,
happiness and hope. In these bright and
pleasant months the country should enjoy
its highest degree of tranquility and pros
perity. But spring, it is well known, is
often period of discomfort and disturbance
in the physics system. Important organs
of the body become torpid or irregular in
their action, and the fact is instantly re-
fected in the mental condition of the indi-
vidual. A disordered liver means disor-
sdered nerves and dull and unsteady brain.
Anything which will bring the physical
system into harmony with budding nature
confers an enormous benefit upon the ma
tion, besides the mere allaying of physical
discomfort Hoods Sarsaparilla does this,
as thousands of grateful and happy men
of this standard spring medicine is of more
real practical importance in promoting &
health and quiet in the business world than
reams OF abstract theorizing. svp VA y 'aass@

FLINT & Co. of Monson, Mass have pur-
chased controlling interest in the Lyons
Granite Company of Dummerston. The
Dummerston quarries are considered the
finest in southern Vermont, but from the
fact that they are only reached by narrow
gauge road from Brattleboro, the transfer
at that station to broad gauge Cars has
some time ago for broad gauge track, and
efforts will be made by Flint & Co. to have
the change made. The quarres have been
practically idle for about a year, but work
will be resumed shortly, giving employ
ment to several hundred hands.

being against the best interests of the
country and the people, the voters
should drive the democracy from pow
er and elect republicans to congress
instead.
Secondly. the republicans point to
the fact that the democratic party did
not fulfill the pledges made in its
platform in 1892. regarding the tariff,
thus showing its insincerity and un-
trustworthfness: that, bad as things
now are, they would have been still
worse, had the platform pledges been
fully kept; that therefore the unsound-
ness Of its proposed policy is fully
shown, and that the people. once de-
ceived, should not trust the democracy
again. but vote for republication and
a restoration Of the policy under which
the nation prospered so marvelouslv
from 1901 until the democracy were
fully installed in power in 1893.
Thirdly, pointing to the distress and
stringency following the tariff tinker
ing already accomplished, the repub-
licans view the declarat tions Of Cleve-
land and Wilson that this destructive
course must be continued as meaning
still further distress, idleness, and
further lowering of wages, and call on
the people to stop those wreckers by
returning republican majority to
the national house of representatives.
Lastly, the repu leans affirm their
intention. when again put in power. to
revise the tariff on true protective
lines. as laid down in the national re-
publican platform Of 1892, in these
words: I'VE believe that all articles
which cannot be produced in the
United States. except luxuries- should
be admitted free of duty: and that on
all imports coming into competition
with the products Of American labor.
there should be levied duties equal TO
the difference between wages abroad
and at home" They point TO the fact
that the experience of the past year
has demons trated clearly that the tar
if question is largely one Of wages
that proper protection admits Of the
maintenance of the rate OF wages pre-
vailing uD to the summer of 1898. and
that tariff for revenue only" neces-
sarlv means lower rate
Further, they point to the fact that
a revision OF the tariff upward toward
adequate protection does not involve
the danger Of loss on stocks OF raw ma

A PARAlYZED INDUSTRY.
Beet Sugar Farming Ruined by the New
Tariff Law.

Law.
1t looks now as though the Wilson
German bill would kill the beet sugar
industry. which for two years past has
been promising so well. This will be
great setback TO the farmers of
Nebraska. Kansas, Utah and Cali
forna.
The farmers declare that there is
not profit sufficient on the product to
stand SO sweeping a reduction, and it
now looks as though this industry,
built up specially for the benefit Of the
farmer, would have to 90 to the wall.
The farmer will be compelled to turn
his attention to some other crop and
the men who found employment in
the mills will be forced to seek other
fields.
The bounty paid on beet sugar last
year amounted to S552, 174 81, GistlibL-
ted as follows: California, S655, 76S. S4;
Nebraska, Sis, S64; Utah. S77,542.
The strangling of this industry
means loss not only to these states,
but to the consumers Of sugar through
out the country. 1t is collateral legis.
lation in behalf of the sugar trust.
This product was not controlled by
