1t will not cure everything. 1t is
not claimed that it will cure but one
complaint-that is dyspepsia. We
cannot say that it will cure every
case of dyspepsia. but it will cure
large majority OF them. Such cases
as are adapted to its use will derive
immediate benefit. One small bottle
will be sufficient to test it.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is
especially adapted for emaciated or

NEW TARIFF BENEFITS.

Tho Repeal of tho Mckinley Law Saves
si,co0.c c0,0G0 a Year In Taxes.
In 1890 there werc 500, 40i industrial
establishments III this country which
gave employment to 4,71l ,S32 ut q cost
to owners i'll wages of So, ,232, 1898, 2G6,
says tho Kansas City Times. The Nc
Kinley Law decreased the number Of cs-
Adjustments by about half and the
wages more than that. The probabili-
ties are that the day the new tariff law
became operative there were IFS, 900 es-
Establishments in operation, which en-
ployed a,355, ,9GG operatives at a cost in
wages of, say, $1l,000,0CO.
One OF the benefits of the new tariff
law is the resumption Of work in most
OF tho idle factories and shops. In the
absence OF actual statistics it may be as
sumed that today there are 325, 900 es-
adjustments in operation, which en-
ploy not less than $780, 900 employees,
at wages that aggregate 81 $50, 600, 900,
which is gain to the wage earners in
the manufacturing interests alone of
$500, ,000 A gain Of half that much has
been effected in other branches of en-
deayor.
The repeal of the Mckinley law saved
the country i'll taxes to tho amount of
81, 900, 00o.0C0 q year. To this gain is
added more than 81, 750,0 month
improvement in earnings, yet there are
people who hope to delude the working
men OF the country into the support of
party which declares its intention to
restore the Mckinley law. A greater
absurdity was never proposed, and the
intelligent people Of this country will
resent tho insult.

FREE WOOL A GOOD THING.

Many New Mills In Operation, and the
Prico Still Going Up.
Disasters to the wool market predicted
by Republican protectionists when the
Wilson bill was passed are not coming
into being. The market is very active at
present and it promises to continue so
for solno time.
Reports received from the leading
markets of tho country Indicate that
there is no reaction III tho upward move
llont in tho price of wool, says the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter.
"In the past weel-socond week of July
in numerous instances further ad-
vance of cont per pound has been es-
tablished, and it is safe to say that dur
ing the past fortnight there has been an
average riseof Z cents. Z"
This report comes from protection"
journal. Continuing, the paper says in
tho same article, doubleheaded edi-
torial: "Our semiannual record of new
mill construction for the first half of
1895, to which we devote considerable
space in this issue, makes significant
and gratifying showing. 1t furnishes
convincing evidence that the clouds Of
depression have been giving way and
that period of prosperity is developing
in textile lines
Tho record referred to shows that SO
new woolen mills have been established
or projected and started in the United
States this year as compared with II in
the corresponding period of tho last
year of McKinleyism--an increase of
100 per cent.

CONCERNING THE GLASS TRUST.
Mckinley TariH Law Made II Possible.
Low Duties Cut Trust Prices.

tsAS~AAHioy Aatiu Law MADE lt Possible
Low Duties Cut Trust Prices.
Tho blindness Of tho average high
protectionist is shown in nothing more
clearly than in his treatment of the
Glass trust. "That despoiler of natural
trade conditions continues its impudent
existence" remarks one Of these phi.
losophers, and then he proceeds to ridi-
cule tho new tariff law because it has
failed to draw the fangs Of an odious
trust.
Tho Mckinley bill duty on window
glass WAS from leo to 1876 per cent, and
under that law, with such margin to
work on, tho trust was formed and in
trenched itself. Tho now law reduced
tho duty to from GO to G5 per cent, and
the trust just reduced the prices on glass
to the extent Of the reduction in duties.
Tho new law wasn't able to destroy tho
trust, but it was able to force q reduc-
tion in the price of glass to consumers
of about 40 per lsnt.
II there had beep no Mckinley law,
there would have beon no Glass trust,
and II the Mckinley law hadn't been
repealed tho price of glass would still
be what it was during the existence of
that law. But tho continuance Of the
trust has served to show that tho duty
on glass will stand another cut, and
when the opportunity presents itself it
viii probably be made. c.--Kansas City
