BLAINEs PROPHECY.

The Toledo Blade says: The fact that
James G. Blaine predicted the exact
condition of things now prevailing in
this country, and as accurately showed
the causes which would lead up to it,,
is now recalled. Read the words of this
greatest of latter day American states
men, and see how clearly the drift of
events indicated to him the evils that
were to come:
''1 love my country and my country
men. am an American, and rejoice
every day of my life that am. 1 enjoy
the general prosperity of my country,
and know that the workmen of this land
are the best paid, the best fed and the
best clothed of any laborers on the face
of the earth. Many of them have homes
of their own. They are surrounded by
all the comforts and many of the luxuries
of life.
81 shudder, however, at the thought
that the time must come. when all this
will be changed, when the general pros
perity of the country will be destroyed,
when the great body of workmen in this
land, who are so prosperous, will hear
their wives and children cry for bread !;
that the day must come when
the great factories and manufacto-
ries of this land will shut down, and
where there is now life and activity
there will be the silence of the tomb.
Sand the reason why this must be is
this: The great southern wing of the
democratic party are determined to
establish the doctrine of free trade
in this land. They will be assisted by
their northern allies. There is great
body of visionary, but educated men,
who are employed day by day in writing
free trade essays and arguments in favor
of the doctrine, which find their way to
every newspaper in this land. The
perienced, themselves, the sufferings
which always result when the protective
principles are laid aside.
POISONED and excited by wild state
ments of these writer's and the dema-
gogic appeals of the democratic speak
ers, the result will be that in the near
future these forces which are now work
ing will be strong enough to defeat at
the polls the party advocating the doc
trine of protection. 1t must inevitably
follow that uncertainty and doubt will
ensue. The business men of the coun-
try, fearing the destruction of the prin-
ciples of protection, will decline to en-
gage in business; consequently mills will
shut down, and the workmen will be
thrown out of employment.
-'The people will then see as they have
never seen before that they can not be
prosperous and have work while this
principle is threatened. In the midst
of their sufferings they will learn that
the only way they can be prosperous
and happy is to vote for the party that
has built up the industries by which
they have gained livelihood; because
they will then see clearly that when the
mandatory is shut down there is no
demand for the only thing which they
have to sell, and that is their labor.''

How sizes Vary.

When you speak of mans hat be-
ing 'about two sizes too large for him"
you do not mean that the proper fit
would be a hat two inches smaller in
either circumference or diameter; with
his coat, however, when you say s'size''
you mean an inch. The following may
be of interest to those likely to get
mixed or the question of "sizesn and
inches: A stsize'' in coat is exactly
an inch, in und erwear it is two inches,
in sock an inch, in collar one-half
inch, shirt the same, in shoes one
sixth of an inch, in pants one inch, in
gloves one-fourth of an inch and in
hats one-eighth of an inch.

Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for man of family
to contemplate, whether he is a laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas.
o. Jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten
days with the grip during its prevalence
a year or two ago. Later in the season
he had second attack. He says: ssIn
the latter case I used Chamberlain's g
Cough Remedy with considerable sue
cess, I think. only being in bed little
over two days. The second attack I am
satisfied would have been equally as bad
as the first but for the use of the remedy"
1t should be borne in mind that the grip
is much the same as very severe cold
and requires precisely the same treat
ment. When you wish to cure a cold
quickly and effectually give this remedy
