Offensive
Catarrh.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh Is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew Of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except real blood remedy.
n the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
s. has demonstrated the fact that IL
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.

GEyUINE EFFRO RONTERY y.

The Louisiana sugar republicans
expect little too much from the re-
publican party. They should know
that that party has never expressed
any desire to protect their industry,
and Furthermore we do not believe
that il would, however much it cared
to do so.
Sugar is distinctly different from
the other American products which
come under republican protection.
Those commodities which 1t protects
are, or can be, raised in sufflciency to
satisfy home consumption; but that
lis not the case with sugar the AM
erican output is scarce worth consid
ering and may not be for many years
to come, II ever, and to levy tax
upon this most extensively used COM
modify, to protect this pigwidgeon
industry; at the expense OF sixty-fiye
millions Of people is an unspeakable
infamy.
/The republican party may attempt
many things, but there are two things
it would scarcely undertake. viz,
give bounty to any special produ-
ceA or manufacture, or protect co M
modify which the United States is
unfble to supply.

No American citizen has ever stood
higher IN the estimation of Ameri-
cans than the immortal patriot and
statesman, Imes Monroe, whose
doctrine lends protection TO Ameri-
can states, and which the democratic
party has ever stood ready TO enforce.
The republican view Of this great
doctrine, while almost meaning what
the democratic one does, Is express
ed in an abundance Of words, but
words, words. words, as the country
we'll knows, is the republican party's
forte.
Pages could not more clearly or
emphatically express determined sup
port Of the Monroe doctrine than con-
tanned in the democratic platform CT
1896, and no man who has bolted
the ticket can attack it on democrat
lc principles.
The platform of 1892 made no di-
rect allusion to the doctrine, but the
foreign policy given above covers
the ground.
The 1896 plank is American as
well as democratic. II speaks out

ty is honored by it.

REPUBLICAN, ARGUMENT.
The republican leaders use any
thing and everything they think Of,
no matter how foolish, as argument
against democracy and its expo
nents. IL is either that that they
ale very careless, or that the
masses OF the party are a lot Of inn
pressionable cuokoos. As an ilustra-
tion OF their method, we reproduce
the following from the New York
Mail and Express, one of the most
extreme republican papers in the
country:
Two years ago William j. Bryan
canvassed the state of Nebraska In
search Of United States senator
ship. His labor resulted in repub-
lican victory. At that time he was
an out-and-out free trader, and he
is the same today, although he seems
to have so far lost the courage OF
his convictions that he did not make
even casual reference to the tariff is
sue in his Madison Square Garden
speech. Some people call this evasion,
others term 1t cowardlce. But, as all
evasion Is cowardice, the designation
means little, the fact much.
II is the first time to our knowledge
that Mr.. Bryan has been attacked
ia this manner, and it is cowardly
and base. No man In this country
speaks out his views so fearlessly
and unreservedly, and no mans pos
ition on the great issues is h.ser I
known. Surely, we do notsee how |
this journal, a supporte-o of the ST.
lent Man, dares vefdre criticism up
on those lines.
Mr.. Bryan .5 democrat; he be
lieves in very plank in the plat
form-Dt excepting the tariff issue.
Possibly Mr.. Bryan does not refer
tthat issue often enough to suit
tn Mail and its kind, as 1t is well
knwn that the McKinleyltes would
rther discourse upon "protection
nd prosperity" than on ga dollar
as sound as any other"
Mr.. Bryan and his free trade are
acceptable to the democracy.
