Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased porto of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by infiamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have rumb.
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that
cannot be Gu ed by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars; free.

the whole fabric Of the tire is cemented
and vulcanized together, the walls of the

and the tires thus made are stiff and

tube tire, in which the inner lining is free
to move independently of the outer wear
ing cover.

TARIFF AND INTERNA TIONAL CUR
RENCY.

An English newspaper is first to give
publicity TO a thought that must have
suggested itself to thousands OF men on
both sides OF the Atlantic. The English
writer calls attention 10 this declaration
OF the Republican platform;
eve are opposed to the free coinage OF
silver, except by international agree
ment with the leading commercial M
tons OF the world, which We pledge our
selves TO promote"
Aud he goes on to say that the Repub-
lcan party, II returned 10 possession oil
the three branches of government, will
be able "to promo' =" agreements Tor in
ternational bimetallism by n iudicious
application of the reciprocity principle
OF later tariffs.
For II it be well 10 say TO Brazil 1--WE
will not take your coffee duty free I'M
less you admit certain United states
products without duties to your mar
kcts, and Co say likewise TO Germany
concerning It's beet sugar, why will il
not be well To say TO England, iii you
discriminate against United States silver
the United States will discriminate
against you by laying on all imports
from Great Britain tariff higher than
that laid upon imports from countries
that accept American silver ut par A
desire to win the greater part OF the
foreign trade OF the United States would
be all but sure to lead Germany to come
into bimctallc agreement, and
England would "have to" follow suit.
Tariff is the keystone OF the arch OF in
ternational bimetalism.
