Life or Death7

1t is of vital importance that it should
be understood by persons whose kid
neys are inactive, that this condition
of things is finally inductive of a
state of the organs where life hangs in
the balance Bright's disease, diabetes,
albuminuria are all diseases of very OBJ
stinate character in their mature stage,
and all have fatal tendency. They
often battle the most practised medical
skill, and the most approved remedies
of materia medica. But opposed at the
outset-that is to say, when the kidneys
begin to discharge their functions in
actively-with Hostetter's Stomache Bit
tiers, the dangerous tendency is checked.
Very useful, also, is this household med
icine for those ailments of common oc
currance-constipati biliousness, dys-
pepsia and nervousness. 1t is a safe
guard against malaria and averts chronic
rheumatism.

Republicans are singing the old
songs yet. One of them has the re-

other words begin at once to tinker
the tariff as soon as they get ma.

ley tariffs work, and are willing to
see what an anti Mckinley tariff
will do-to give the Democratic
tariff fair trial.

Our Republican friends have S
great deal to say about sugar and
the Sugar Trust in connection with
the Democratic party. Well, the
Sugar Trust never came into full
power until the Mckinley tariff
bill was passed. The fact is an
ugly one for Republican organ
grinders and spellbinders to en-.
counter, but a fact it is neverthe
less.

avery advance toward a free
exchange of commodities is an adj
vance in civilization; every obstruc-
ton to free exchange is born of the
same narrow, despotic spirit which
planted castles upon the Rhine to
plumber peaceful commerce; every
obstruction to commerce is a tax
upon comsumption; every facility
to free exchange cheapens COM
modities, increases trade and pro-
duction and promotes civilization. :"
john Sherman, 1868.
1t is impossible to imagine more
lucid statement of Democratic be.
lief as regards tariff taxation than
the foregoing, and many will be
surprised to know that John Sher-
man ever expressed such opinions.
But these utterances were made
twenty six years ago, after the pro
tective tariff system had been adopt.
ed, it is true, but while honest men
still thought it necessary as war
measure and before the manufact.
urers of the country had formed an
alliance with the Republican party,
by which the people of the country
were to be legally robbed. We
have never heard offered any other
explanation of Sherman's views
and think this the only plausible
one. OF course it is not creditable
to Sherman, but then he has SO
many things set down to his dis
credit, that one more or less doesn't
matter.-KanaCha Gazette.

knocked out of these spellbinders,
who bad their speeches all fixed up
with denunciation of the wicked
Democrats whose tariff had laid a
grievous tax on the poor mans
table, by raising the price of sugar.
But sugar don't rise, and there's
only two weeks more to election,
and now Republicans are bowling
that the wicked Democrats have
hired the sugar dealers to keep the
price down till after the election.
