SPEAKER REED AND THE
HARD TIMES.
New York World

According TO Speaker Reed S telegram
to the marketmen s clubs we should all
look forward TO better times in the I'M
mediate future. And SO we should.
Mr. Reed rs frequently right.
But when he says The hard times are
not of our making he is unhistOrical.
He forgets himself. He does not re-
member the Reed of the Billion Dollar
Congress; the Reed who helped 90 drain
the Treasury until an unwieldy surplus
was changed into a still more unwieldly
deficit; the Reed whose party is respon-
sible for the Sherman Bullion Purchase
act: the Reed who was an accompiice in
the Mckinley act which disturbed val
ues and unsettled tho market; the Reed
who after all this assisted in making
extravagant permanent appropriations
so that the Democrats. confronted with
a threat of permanent deficit, should
have great difficulty in revising the tar
If satisfactorily.
This is history-tbe history of the
four years which ushered in the hard
times. Hard times are not made in a
day. They come slowly as the result of
causes long at work. Had there been
NO Harrison Administration and no
Reed Congress we might have avoided
panic and long continued depression. no
matter what blunders were made subse-
queutly.
The republican party Will not be al
lowed to escape its responsibilities Its
Office holders have been equally respOn-
sible with Democratic office holders for
political crimes and plumbers which
brought depression Oh a country whose
progress continues in spite of criminal
blunderiug in both parties.
Speaker Reed will have to do more
than make the same old stale charges
against the Democratic party to place
himself or any of his ilk in the White
House shortly. Thinking people viii
never believe that the action of any
party could throw this great country
of ours into the panic through which
we have just gone by simply electiug
a President aud the two houses Of
Congress. But this is what our Be
publican edversaries are claiming
Before the Democratic Congress Cou
gress met the Republican papers

created by the Democrats. This was

McKIKLEYS CANDIDACY,

II would seem from indications
that Mckinley is to be the nominee
of the Republican party for the Pres
idency. Well, let Ter rip. We would
just as soon crow over the defeat OF
Mckinley as some better man, who
stands as Mckinley does-fCr pro
lection and straddle of the fnan
cial question. Mckinley came into
prominence some few years ago rs a
politician aud his retirement will
come in the year Of 1896, after hav-
ing damaged the country's prospects
more than any one man ever had it
in his power to do before, and in the
winter of his discomfort may he draw
what comfort he may from that fact.
We take the following from Har

Whenever You see d glass Of bright,

think what delightful driG..zs;Dg water
that is You never tiTnS 5f II as be-
i1g especially useful for hoiiing potc-
ties or for bathing the face. You
only think of it's power TO quench the

MAJ desirable properties.
When you see bright, hot FIRE iii

you could keep warn, by remaining

TO you that n Gre has 2 hundred other
uses.
Whenever eod-liver oil is mentioned.
many people think at once of con-
sumption, as If this was the only dis
ease to which this valuable remedy
was adapted. Perhaps this is NOT
strange when we consider the fact tha6
cod-liver oil stands out as the most
prominent remedy in this terrible af-
lection. IN fact as water quenches
does codliver oil bring health and
prosperity TO those just beginniDg to
fade from serious lung trouble.
OF late years, however, it has been
known that consumption is caused by
a germ. 1t is also known that cod
liver on does not kill this germ. And
there is also the fact that this same
oil will cure consumption IN its early
stages. II it does not kill the germ OF
the disease, how does it affect cure 2
This is easily explained. Cod-liver
oil has wonderful power to build up
and invigorate the whole body When
the body is in this prosperous condi5
ton, it can take care of the germs OF
consumption; that Us, it destroys the
germs, and thus removes the cause of
the disease. For this reason cod-liver
oil is called a powerful tonic and re-
constructive; while it is also known
TO be most valuable food.
From this we can see the value of
such a remedy in number OF ailments.
There are many persons who begin
the work of each day in a thoroughly
exhausted condition. They have tried
quantities of tonics and iron prepara-
tons of all kinds, but without relief.
There is no appetite; bowels are con-
stipated; circulation is poor; the lips
are pale; the ears are colorlcsS; and
the whole body is in a dcbilitated and
most uncomfortable state. SCOTS
Emulsion of COd-liver Oil with Hypo-
phosphites changes all this. Soon the
blood becomes richer; the heart beats
stronger; color returns TO the face
digestion is improved; and good
health is once more at hand.
SCOTS Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion In the world, that will Stand
the test of time as being perfect in
separable emulsion Ask your doctor.
