The policy of protection has been
thoroughly tested in this country with
the most favorable results in number
of instances. The New York Mail very
pertinently says: THE history of pro-
lection is the record of the most pros
porous and glorious 80 years of our
national life. The marvellous develop
ment ofresources, the magical expansion
OF our industrial interests and the mag
nificent growth Of the nation in power
and influence have taken place under
the fostering care of tariff protection
Wherever there has been breakdown
in the averages of prosperity, or wher-
ever there has been a downward
tendency in enterprise, wages or values,
1t has been due to a temporary depart
urs from the protective principle and
the adoption of free trade. Protection
has invariably been attended by good
times, and low tariffs have invariably
been followed by periods of depression
and hardship. The vital issue of 1896
is protection. Keep it before the people
and the people will do the rest"

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: ''For six years I have been q
sufferer from asscrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed tc
reduce the enlargement. After si5
months constant Treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju'
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perrla-
nently.
