Whenever you see glass Of bright,

think what delightful dfiazi;rng writer

ing especially useful for boiling potr-
ties or for bathing the face. You

This is easily explained. Cod-liver
Oil has wonderful power to build up
and invigofate the whole body When
the body is in this prosperous condi;

consumption; that Is, it destroys the
germs, and thus removes the cause of

Constructive; while it is also known
to be most valuable food.
From this we can see the value of
such remedy in number OF ailments.
There are many persons who begin
the work of each day in thoroughly
exhausted condition. They have tried
quantities of tonics and iron prepara-
lions of all kinds, but without relief.
There is no appetite; bowels are con-

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 is 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 to drain
the Treasury until nm 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 accomplish in
the Mckinley act which disturbed val
ues and unsettled tho market; the Reed
who after all this assisted in making
extravagant permanent appropriations
30 that the Democrats, confronted with
a threat of permanent deficit, should
have great difficulty in revising the tar
iff satisfactorily.
This is history-the 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 ut work. Had there been
NO Harrison Administration and no
Reed Congress we might have avoided
pAhiN anu iObr, tOusllittCt IMPRESSION, mo
matter what blunders were made subse-
queutly.
The Republican party will not be al
lowed to escape its responsibilities It's
Office holders have been equally respon-
sible with Democratic Office holders for
political crimes and blunders which
brought depression Oh a country whose
progress continues in spite of criminal
laundering 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 will
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 electing

Before the Democratic Congress Con

were how ling about the hard times
created by the Democrats. This was
simply fer political effect, and W. all
Know | 0w it worked. If the people
will look into this matter themselves
aud do not accept the promises and
loud talk OF party leaders they will
see that the Republican Legislature
OF 1890 caused the panic of '93 and
'94, and if tho Mckinley and Reed
gang had not been turned down when
they were there is no telling where
tho panic would have stopped, as
they were running lis in debt more

McKIHLEYS CANDIDACY,
