The WOrkman's Cali.

Heed labor heed your children's cries, and
let free adeis see
Tae nations once proud sovereign In his
peerless jesty,
Make les shake ana traitors quake be-
meath your mighty tread.
The vcce that sin S protect on's hymn
shou wake the very dead.
Tell Cleveland now, and Cochran, too, and
Wilson with his bill.
That they stanl In hostile attitude to
worHmen's expressed will
Tell that horde OF free trade lords who
nos IN Congress rave.
hey'li bear the brand OF Arnold TO u foul
dishonorel grave.
Before us staud the fabrics grand protec-
tion laws have raised
i heir silent looms, their ruined homes, and
labor now debased:
Tho giant twain OF hand and brain free
traders have struck down
And the nat.on's once Iroud sovereign is
pauper on the town.
The homo Of peace and wifelike grace is
cold and cheerless now.
Free-traders' work has left its mark on the
weeping mothers brow,
The naked walls and wind swept halls the
saddeniug story tells,
Our youth must find some shelter kind in
the citys gilded hells
Who Is the knave that madly raves for
Wilson's free tra1e plan
In Congress hall to plan the fall of the
once procd workingman?
Ease Cochran FIRST, who held our trust.
against us has engaged.
He's playing the clown and low buffoon on
(leveland's free-tradc stage.
Some other name that labor claims will
fight our ba tile still,
They will espouse the workman's cause
and smash the Wilson bill
We daily note each word aud vote passed
in that Congress hall,
he mau hat now strikes labor down, his
time has come to fal'.

The foregoing paragraphs are taken

pounded by Senator Gray and Senator
Davis of the Senate invest eating com

The facts are that over 10 per cent.

per cent. is low grade 'The poor

little indeed going into direct human

From Mr.. Havemeyers testimony it

which is remarkably gratifying proof
OF the prosperity of the country and of
the people under protective tariff.

For years was troubled with most alarm

lessness. During these many years of ILL
less l consulted the best of authorities on
the diseases of the digestive organs, spec
ialists of great renOwn pronouncing my
case hopeless, some asserting that my
stomach was infested with cancers. have
tried countless numbers of 90 called medi-
icines that were recommended to me or
otherwise brought to my notice. Like
drowning man catching at straw
would buy bottles after bottles
of Sarsaparilla and other medicines | saw
advertised in the papers, giving them all
a thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken Of by persons whose integ-
rity could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and l kept growing
steadily worse. l became at last convinced
that the numerous physicians l had con-
suited were right, and that my disease was
indeed incurable. Giving up all hopes,
the only course left for me was to reduce
the pain to a minimum. This was OBJ
tanned by eating as little as would keep
body and soul together. and abstaining
from all substances containing fats, sugar
and starch. Some months since kind
friend gave me bottle of Red Seal Sar-
saparilla. At first l would not take it as
had lost faith in everything, believing
that God alone could bring relief. Being
told, however, that this Sarsaparilla was
prepared in peculiar manner of its own
whereby certain injurious principles con-
tanned in most all such preparations were
effectually eliminated, l at last, but still
without much hope, gave it trial. l
fervently thank God that in his goodness
be has allowed me to find this precious
medicine. Finding relief with the first
bottle l obtained more, and kept taking it
until today l am completely cured and as
we'll man as ever drew the breath of life.
am convinced of the superiority of the
Red Seal Sarsaparilla over all others have
tried, and consider it my solemn duty to
tell what have told in the foregoing, so
that others like myself suffering from dys-
pepsia or kindred diseases Of the digestive
organs may be cured by this wonderful
medicine.
This statement is made of my own free
will and without any solicitation from the
