What the People Want.

Detroit Tribune.
What does it all mean? What is it
that the people desire through the Re-
publican partya What policy, what
principle, does the Republican party
represent that the Democratic party
does not' There is no use trying to
get away from it; it was the old doc
trine of protection, which has been
the cardinal tenet of the Republican
party tor quarter of a century;
the great battlefield on which it has
met and vanquished itsancient antag-
onist many times. 1t was this that
stood in the very forefront of every
Republican platform in the land.
From Massachusetts, to Iowa it was
this that inspired the masses with the
promise and the hope of returning
good times; that awakened visions OF
busy factories, of rehabilitated indus

shops, of the hum of busy spindles,
spinning American and not Australian
wool; of a general restoration of wages
through the better employment of la
Dor; of flour in the barrel, corn in the
bin and meat in the larder; of the re-
opening of the little account at the
savings bank-as it used to be before
the fatal year of ISoz-in one word,
the hope of returning prosperity un-

to carry to surplus;that should inaug-

and stop the issue of bonds and the
constantly increasing interest charges
That is what the election meant in
1895. That is what the people want,
and that is what they intend to have;
and they will be heard from to that
effect in 1896.

From the Democratic Grafton Leader
Hon. Aston Gordon Dayton. the
present Congressman from this dis
trict, has the distinguished honor Of
being the first Republican that ever
represented the district as it is now
arranged. He will, aside from any
other cause, attract considerable at
tention, having beaten the acknowl-
edged leader of the Democratic party,
Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson. Not only this
but the district will be well repre-
scented by Mr.. Dayton, for outside Of
his political views, which we don't
like at all, he is thorough scholar,
an able lawyer and an honest, upright
Christian gentleman. In debates in
Congress we need not fear but what
this district will receive attention,
for Mr.. Dayton is an able debater and
fluent speaker, with good logic. TO-
gether with a vein of humor that is
bound to make his views respected on
any question he may choose to speak,
If we are to have Republican, in
Congress, there is no man in the dis.
trict that we would rather see there.
We expect, however, to change the
order of things next election and give
young Democrat a chance to make
himself known to the political world.

The Pains of rheumatism
According to the best authorities,
originate in morbid condition of the
blood Tactic acid. caused by the de-
composition of the gelatinous and al
luminous tissues, cireulates with the
blood and attacks the ibrous tissues,
particularly in the joints, and thus
causes the local manifestations of the
disease. The back and shoulders are
the parts usually affected by rheuma-
tisn1, and the joints at the knees,
ankles. hips aud wrists are also some
times attacked. Thousands of people
have found in Hoods Sarsaparilla
positive and permanent cure for rheu-
matism. 1t has had remarkable sue

fact that it attacks at once the cause
