Beware Of
the knife!

No one who has not been through the
ordeal, can possibly have any concep-
ton of the terrible fear and dread occa-
stoned by the anticipation of a surgical
operation. Well grounded, too, per-
haps, in majority of cases, for the keen
blade of the surgeon is too often used
indiscreetly, and where it cannot posi-
bly, do any good.
1t is little less than folly to submit
to a surgical operation for disease of
the blood, and such a course always
proves either fatal or useless.
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartville, Mo-,
had an interesting experience with the
doctors recently, and was on the verge
of a painful surgical operation. He
writes: 81 hereby add my unqualified
endorsement of your excellent remedy,
s. S. S. For six years l have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts of
physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis, failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S. S. S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, I be-
ga its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S. S. S. long age,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50. If this endorse
ment will serve you in any way use it."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal, S. S. S. is the only
real blood remedy. it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out per1na-
nently.
Cancer is another disease for which
the doctors at once resort to the knife,
and there has never been a case cured
by an operation. S. S. S. has made
some wonderful cures of Cancer, full &C
counts of which will be sent out upon
application.
S. S. S. is blood remedy for real
blood troubles; it cures the most obsti-
nate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, ETC., which other so-called
blood remedies fail to touch. S. S. S.
gets at the root of the disease and forces
it out permanently. Valuable books

We are informed that upward of 60
per cent of the orders for the spring
trade in wooden clothing have been
placed abroad. Taking the census statis-
tics Of 1890 and applying this 60 per
cent loss Of business would give us 7S7
factories closed, 47,610 hands out of
work, $17.087, 85S less money earned in
wages in the wooden industry, and $49,-
362,20 less money paid for material
nsed-the wool of the farmer. Perhaps
the result may not be 50 bad. We may
be able to snatch some of the trade at
the last minute by using shoddy instead
Of wool, as the Yorkshire manufacturers
do. Business must be quite lively with
the European ragpicker.

months OF each year :
Nine months Value Of czp.c

During tho first nine months of 1890
goods were, Of course, being rushed to
your side to avoid the tariff, but the
demand experienced even during that
exciting period was not equal to that
during the first nine months Of the pres
ent year, and comparison will disclose
an excess of exports in favor of 1895 to
the extent of 1858, 795. To take an even
more extensive survey of the situation.
going back so far as the year 1864 and
considering the figures for each inter-
vening 10 months, it will be found that
only on three occasions during those 30
years has four millions sterling been
touched in the value of exports from
Bradford. In 1888 they reached CA, 1885,
9S4; in 1889, e4,692, 406, and in 1890,
ga, 112,6 Hence only once since 1864
have the exports for an entire year ex-
ceeded the total for the first nine months
of 1895. YANKEE.

ENGLISH EXPORTS OF WOODEN GOODS.
Increase
1898 over

These figures exhibit some remarka-
BILE increases in the exports Of wooden
manufactures from Bradford under the
German tariff during the 10 months
ending Aug. 81, 1895. They were 6,447
per cent larger than in the previous 10
months.
Bradford's exports of carpets and rugs
were S13 per cent larger in 1895, and
this with free wool in the United States.
Bradford's exports of worsted coatings
were 437 per cent larger; of worsted
and mohair yarns the increase was $40
per cent; Of wooden stuffs the increase
was 276 per cent, and in the sundry
articles of wooden manufacture there
was an increase of $50 per cent.
This is the actual result Of our free
trade in raw wool. Our wooden manu-
factarers were promised that, with free
wool, they would be enabled not only
to control the American market, but
also to capture the trade in wooden
manufactures in the markets of the
world. The result, however, is that one
little wooden manufacturing district in
England is capturing the entire wooden
trade of the United States The breach
in our wall of protection is proving
quite fatal both to the producers Of raw
wool and Of wooden goods.
Worsted coatings, for the first time
this year, command the head Of the list,
and what amount of labor is spent in

worth of goods must indeed be great.
But while the returns for one month
speak loudly, its voice is most stentori-
an when we consider what has been
done during the quarter ending Sept.
80, and also for the three quarters end
ing same date. Let the following COM
parison speak for itself:
Exports for September quar-
ter. .....,.............., Gl9, Alb Is 10d
Exports for June Quarter..... 10000 18s Id
Exports for March quarter. l,3S9,74S IS Cd
Comparing these returns with the cor
responding quarters of 1894, when the
Mckinley tariff was in operation, they
show the following increases:
Increase for September quarter. 81 ,219, $50
Increase for June quarter ............ l0n, $40
Increase for March quarter ........... l,127745
The quarterly average when the 1886
tariff was in force was 81, 033, 900 odd,
and when McKinleyism reigned it fell
to e5SS, 900 odd. What difference!
FofEhe nine months Of the year end
ing Sept. 80 the Bradford exports to
your side have totaled the gigantic sum
of e4,308, 965 Ids. 3D., whereas the to-
tai for last year mckinley Year, was
but e1, 68S, 119-the increase for 1895
over the nine corresponding months of
1894 having been SO far 60, 1888, 795 los.
1t requires, however, more than COM
parison with the preceding year to form
proper estimate of the present deal
ings of Bradford with your side. The
Mckinley tariff greatly reduced the de-
mand for textiles from this side, and it is
therefore necessary 80 go beyond October,
1890, the period when it came into OPP
Grafton, to make fair comparison. AS
an assistance to this end ] give the total
exports from Bradford to the United
States during the time the Mckinley
act was in force and four years previ-
ously. The figures are for the first nine
months of each year:

AN EVIL CUSTOM.

Among the social customs which
make for drunkenness, that of
"treating" has reached the dignity
of legislative discussion.
A short time ago the Michigan
house passed a bill making treating
an ofense; the bill, however, failed
in the senate, which adjudged it
unconstitutional.
The custom seems to be native
with US, and so far has had no vim
dication either in manners or NOR
ais.
1t is the popular thoroughfare
over which the moderate drinker
passes to drunkenness, and it is
natural one of the pillars of the
whole drunkard making business.
That an anti-treating law would be
of substantial help to the morals
of community, in that it would
be restriction upon temptation
and reduce bar drinking to the
minimum, did not weigh with
the solons of the Michigan senate
as against the charge, sure to be
brought against them, of "sumptu-
airy" Legislation.
And 50 Michigan must continue
her labors in this reform without
help. : Northwestern

wondered ut in business letters.
every respectfully" and "Yours re-
specially" are suitable terms when
the person to receive the letter is
much older than the sender, or by
reason of his position deserves some
marked expression Of Difference, but
the phrases are too often used without
regard 20 their significance.
Yours, etc, and the abbreviated
form, "Resp., for respectfully, seem
half hearted, lazy sort of signatures ;
a zig-zag line would mean as much,
and be easier to make. They have not
even the slight merit of "In haste

an apology for poor writing.
As far as simplicity goes, "Yours'

the best way to say something without
meaning anything best, because the

Fate of Men Elocutionists.

The college men who are paying so
much attention to oratorical associa-
tions are making a mistake. Oratory
is simply elocution, and elocutiCn has
ruined many a man who might have
made an honest living. As soon as a
man learns to recite pieces at amateur
entertainments it it about as good as
settled that he will become a reform
or walking delegate or something else
worthless. Elocution leads to public
speaking, and, as a rule, public speak
ing leads to anarchy, loafng and ruin.
