Theory and Practice.

The theory of the Democratic tariff *
is that it produces deficit. Mr.. WI

fact. That was the way with the law

was in jail that under the law impris-
onment for the offcnse charged was
impossible. The clients condition dis

Those Foreign Markets.

The markets of the world are wide
open to us under the German tariff, but
still our exports are not showing any
wonderful gains. neither Is there an eX-
traordinary demand from foreign coun-
tries for American products and manu-
features. The tendency of values is to
cheapness, and If we had buyers here
from England, France, Germany, Rus
STA, Italy, Australia, India, China and
Japan competing with one another 10

A Boston trade paper tells us that

trade to date is far below the average
for January, both in value and in vol

the free trade promises made in 1892.
If our export trade is "below the aver

During the three years of protection,
1S90-1S92, the farmers of the United
States received an average of $40
5S3,1 Il year more money for their
wheat crops than they did in 1893 ana
1891 under the free trade administra-
ton. The wheat crop was worth S3.S4
IN acre moIe under protection than in
the free trade times. The average price
was 16 40 cents per bushel on the
farm under protection, but only OLE
cents n bushcl since the free-traderS
have had the opportunity to pay the
farmers that dollar bushel.
1t must not be thought that the low
price during 1893 and 1894 was due To
unusually large crops. 1t was not. The
average harvest during the three years
of protection was sos, 991 600 bushels a
year. whereas it averaged only 42S,-
1880 bushels year for 1898 ana
1894. Under protection the yield aver
aged 1872 bushels an acre. but during
the two years Of the free trade admins
tratiOn the yield averaged only 1913
bushels an acre. The free-traders had
everything in their favor for high
prices, yet the farm value of their
wheat has been just 1872 cents a bushel
short of that promised dollar. Can
this be the result of selling In the mar
kets of the world?

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


 The men and women who are tired of the worries of life would be wise if in stead of turning their thoughts to sui eide, they seized upon the last opportu- nifty offered them to-day of seeing the Watson Sisters and the clever vaude- vile company with them, at the Grand this afternoon and tonight Hang sor- TOW; care would kill a cat. The show at the Grand is warranted to drive away all care wrinkles from troubled broWs.
 Manager G. B. BunneIl secured the W. S Cleveland minstrel organization at the Grand opera house for two perform ances only by guaranteeing MT. Cleve- land $500. This was rather a venture some experiment in view of the fact that the Cleveland minstrel company has hitherto only played in high priced houses. On previous visits to New Ha- ven people have. willingly paid $1 and went away satisfied that they had got ten their moneys worth. Now by bold stroke MT. Bunneil offers identical ly the same organization at popular prices. Already the advance sale shows that his enterprise is being appreciated and that he will not lose by the eXper- iment. MT. Bunnell's confidence in the al If o,, z New Haven to appreciate a good thing has never yet been. shaken, and the reverse is equally true.
 The Widow Bedott" as tmpersonated by Horace Ewing, who has played the part over 1000 times, is said to possess clements of originality not found in the character as portrayed by Neil Burgess. There seems to be no question ais to MT, EWing's popular success in the part, the press and public everywhere being loud in Jtheir praises of his highly ar tistic performance.
 Manager Bunnell has secured, "The Widow Bedott' and the capable com pany of entertainers who travel with her, for the last two days of this week, commencing With the regular Friday matinee. Sale of seats for these two performances is now in progress.
 Manager Bunnell's holiday offering to the patrons of the Grand opera house is to be the Waite Comedy company in a repertoirie of rollicking comedy dra- mas Monday nights bill is to be the Black Flag" Tuesday matinee and night, "The Two Kids" will be pre- serted. After the matinee performance little Jennie and Mamie Elmore will hold a reception upon the stage at which all the little tots will be the recipients of a Christmas gift from Manager Bun nell. The little girls will be presented with q talking French doll, and young America will be made happy with a wonderful top.

 New York, Dec. 17.-The tendency of prices at the stock exchange up to the receipt of the presidents message on Venezuela matters was upward for the railway list.

 The grangers naturally led the rise, but Louisville and Nashville Kansas and Texas preferred and Atchison came in for a fair share of the business.

DIGESTION AND WORK.
How Sick People May Save Thei
 EnePgy.t

Energy.
 It is as hard work for some people to digest their dinner as it is for a normal man to walk ten miles.
 After dinner rest awhile" This is an old saying, It means that if after eating a heavy meal you try to do hard work you will exhaust all your energy. There will be none left for your stom- ach. Your stomach needs energy to work just as your leg or arm does.
 Sick people want energy. They sell dom have enough for their stomach. Their digestion is out of order and they want to know tho reason, It's simple enough as we have told it.
 What they ought to do is to save their stomachs from hard work until it is capable of doing it, just as they rest their tired backs by lying down,
 This they can do by using artificially digested food. Shaker Digestive Cor dial contains such food not only this, but it is capable of digesting other foods in the stomach.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nourlshment and creates new energy as soon as it is swallowed. Ordinary food first has to be digested. Shaker Digestive Cordial while creating new energy does not eXpend any. It gives the stomach no work to do. It will make thin people fat. Sick people are | naturally thin, Getting thin is a sign of sickness. A person. may be born thin, and naturally remain so. Such a one is not necessarily sick. All drug glsts keep it and a 10 cent sample bottle may first be tried.
