familiar with, and have
suffered a thousand deaths,
being caused directly by a
torpid liver, thence
stagnation of the blood. A
short while after retiring 1

terrible sensation that
human can fall heir to,
such as having heavy
weights upon you, seeing
horrible animals, burglars,
&c, and being unable to
get out of their reach. l
have tried everything on the
market that l could think
would be of any benefit,
but never struck the right
remedy until l tried Ripans
Tabules, and since that
time nightmare with me is
thing of the past. l am
fully convinced that Ripans
Tabules are a good thing
for suffering humanity, and
/ feel that | could not exist
without them. And l
will further say for the
benefit of others (knowing
there are thousands
suffering in the same
manner), profit by my
experience and try them;
you will never regret it."

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

TIRE reason for SO r,rca gold going out

caused come doubts as 10 their authentic

tIstics which are beyond all question be-
cause they show the actual business trans
acted ct the chief port OF the country. A
glance at the exports and imports for the
first thirty weeks OF the current year ex-
plains why gold is going abroad. Since
January the exports out of New York
have amounted to slss.s17.1H. In 1894 the
amount for the corresponding time was

have exported about 100000 worth less
since January !. 1895. than from January
TO August, 1894.
Imports, on the other hand. due 10 the
new tariff. have been much increased. as
will be shown BY the custom house figures
for the first seven months Of the year:
Imports from January to August l. 1895.
$780, I7o e5s: I'm 1884. s25l 40 49, 1885. s3sssis.

This shows 4 difference OF $1,000. 600 in
exports and s4s, 0o00 900 in imports in the
years 1s94-lS95, or a difference In the bal
ance of trade of about S., 100000.
In 1895 so far the gold exports have been
:3s. e2s AIS and imports 81 ,550.370. or loss
of over SIS, oo0. 900 in gold before the ship
ments OF the past week.
In addition to the difference in exports
and imports the United States has had to
pay for millions OF American stocks sold
BIZ European holders and also interest ON
other securities held abroad. Another
item has been the money spent in Euro
pean transit by Americans. which is esti-
mated in the millions and is particularly
large this year.
There is every reason to believe that
much Of the outgo of gold will be checked
by the expectation OF wheat and other
grains which viii soon begin.

UNCLE SAM ON THE SEA.

The record made by the steamship ST.
Louis over a measured course in the Eng
llsh channel is no small triumph for the
American shipbuilders. She is the first
modern vessel built in this country for
the Atlantic passenger service and on her
trial attained a speed of 22.3 nautical miles
an hour. maintained for four consecutive
hours This exhibition OF Yankee skill
and ingenuity will be quite an eye-opener
to the British shipbuilders on the CLYDE
and Barrow-in- Furness. The American
ship is the equal of any afioat, and If.
after the completion OF the ST. Paul, the
returns to the company warrant the build
ing OF additional vessels. the British
steamship companies may well have fears
that their supremacy in the Atlantic trade
viii not go uRquestioned much longer.
Should the showing of the ST. Louis as
well as that OF the Columbia be followed
by a victory for the Defender there may
be doubt az to who rules the waves
after all. at least in some particulars.

CANALS AND CANALS.

The Railway Age asserts that the need
for canals is diminishing every day as the
railroads continue to increase their facil-
tiles and reduce the cost of transportation.
AS to waterways like the Erie canal and
similar water tboroughfares which were
built when railroad building was in its in
fancy and freight rates high, 1t is pos
sible that their usefulness has in a meas
ure departed. But with canals connecting
large bodies of water the assertion will
not apply. The Sault Ste. Marie and We'll
laAd canals are still great factors in the
regulation of rates TO the seaboard, and
the tonnage passing through them is con-
stantly on the increase. How much of
necessity they are and what an, influence
they exert can be seen in the annual raise
OF -four and wheat rates about the time
the Great Lakes arc locked by frosts. So
far as concerns the old time small canals
which were navigable by canal boats
alone. the Age is possibly correct, but the
work at Nicaragua, Panama, Kiel, Cape
Cod, Manchester and Lake Washington
proves very conclusively that the era of
large merchant marine canals has only
dawnod

The portrayal Of instances showing TO
what profitable advantage a single acre
of PuyaIlup valley land may be utilized
by careful management have from time
TO time occupied the space Of the Citizen.
But Ira Pearsall caps the climax in show
ing an ability to extract large amount
of solid living and fat comfort out of an
acre o. land. The larger part of his prem
ises is devoted 10 an orchard OF bearing
fruit trees, and is carpeted with luxuri-
Gus tangle of red clover. which affords an
ample subsistence for the family cayuse,
mich COW and two hogs. The trees are so
heavily laden with fruit that many of
them must be propped to keep them from
breaking under the weight of apples,
plums and pears. His extensive chicken
yards are planted in rank growing berry
vines that afford aside from an abundance
of small fruit, excellent range and shade
for a large band of chickens. His poul-
try are also of the most prolific breed,
and afford him not only an abundance
of eggs and meat. but a rare surfeit Of
sOul-stirring sport.
