We had to leave the guns we'd

Golden Medical
DISCOVE
Cures Ninety-eight per cent. Of an
cases of Consumption. In al Its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses TO the fact that, i'll all IFS
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but q large per.
ceHfage Of cases, and we believe, fully pS

and extreme erIaciatioil and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases

our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every

it surpasses in curative power over this

No four-leaved clover.

Statement OF the situation That Confronts
Americans.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.--The protest
of Austria against the United States
discriminating duty on sugar, sup
plementing as it does, similar action
by Germany, is giving the administra-
ton grave concern This protest,
together with the exclusion of our
cattle and meats by Germany, France,
Belgium and the Netherlands, indicates
combined attack by Europe on our dis
eliminating sugar duty. The situation
is made more grave by the belief that
it is well nigh hopeless to appeal to
congress for aid.
Figures collected by the treasury de-
partment bearing on the subject show
that during the past fiscal year the i'm
ports of beetroot sugar into the United
States and Europe amounted to S15,-
701, 200. Germany stands first with
Sill ,O63, 900, Belgium So, 357, 600, Austria
SLAP, 795, France SAP, o4a, the Neither
lands S33s,722. All this sugar came
into the United States last year duty
free, and it is contended the effect Of
the deferential one-tenth of cent per
pound in addition to the duty of forty
per cent levied on all suga~, will be to
prohibit the traffic. There are, it is
learned. other disturbing elements en-
tering into our relations with these
continental European powers which
undoubtedly had the effect to stimu-
late the retallatory policy adopted by
them. One of these is the status of
the agents of this government stationed
in Europe to carry out the quarantine
laws. When there seemed to be great
danger of the introduction of cholera
into the United States last summer,
medical officers were placed at the
principal European ports and required
to make sure that vessels clearing for
the United States were free from all
requirements of these officers was
unwelcome and finally the French
government protested against the
presence of these medical represent
tatives. Germany also protested, and
has new gone SO far as to intimate they
will not permit them to operate. As
this threatens to absolutely nullify the
effort the United States may make to
exclude emigrants of the dangerous
class and also expose the people Of the
United States to infection from cholera,
the matter regarded as full of gravity.
Conferences between cabinet officers
have been unable to settle the mat
ter. and it is believed possible that the
president will feel obliged to lay the
matter before congress in a special
message to supplement the efforts Of
the administration men in congress to
pass the sugar repeal bill now pending.
1t may be stated however, that not all
the members Of the cabinet are conf
dent that the enactment of this measure
will afford the relief hoped for, and in
some quarters there is an abiding
belief that the real object of the
European combination is to break
down the entire sugar schedule and
secure free sugar as the price for the
admission OF American food products.
