DEAL GENTLY WITH THE
STOMACH.

If it proves refractory, mild discipline
is the thing to set it right. Not all the
nauseous draught and boluses ever in
vented can do half as much to remedy
its disorders as a few wineglassfuls-
say, three a day-of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which will afford it speedy
relief, and eventually Danish every dys-
peptic and bilious symptom. Sick head
ache, nervousness, sallowness of the
complexion, fur upon the tongue, vertl-
go,and those many indescribable and
disagreeable sensations caused by lndl-
gestion, are too often perpetrated by
injudicious dosing. An immediate aban-
Comment of such random and ill advised
experiments should be the first step in
the direction of cure; the next step
the use of this standard tonic alternative,
which has received the highest medical
sanction and won unprecedented popu-
larity.

A DYNAMITE BOMB
ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE RESIDENCE
OF Mr.. JOB THIGPEN.
Two Suspicious Looking Strangers Jumped Out
of Carriage. and Escaped Arrest
and Detection.

Greensboro. \. c., July 23.-(SpeciaD
Citizens of Greensboro were shocked
last night by severe explosion in the
eastern part of the city. Your cores
pondent learned this morning that 1t
was a dastardly attempt by some I'M
known parties to blow up the residence
of Mr.. Job Thigpen, who lives at number
436 East Washington. There are eight
other members of Mr.. Thgpens family.
As vour correspondent learned this morn
ing. Mrs. Lizzie Bailey, daughter of
Mr. Thigpen says she had been asleep
about five minutes, she thinks when
she was widely awaken suddenly by
an explosion and she noticed that the
chairs and other furniture were upside
down and on going into her brother
room she discovered that the planks in
the floor had been blown up. Her broth
or looked out of the window and saw a
ca rriage being driven rapidly away, the
driver whipping his horses. a police
man stopped the carriage few moments
later, when two strangers jumped out
and ran away. The driver was Bob
Newlin, a cOlored man, of unsavory re
mutation. Newlin is in jail and 1T is
thought he will confess the names OF
the parties who threw the bomb. The
bomb was made of a piece of gas pipe.
The missile was thrown under the cor
ner of the house and tore up that side
pretty badly. No one was hurt, though
they were badly stunned. No reason
is given for the act.

seIasbness of business Actuatcs Eu-
ropenn Markets.


Free traders tell us that protective
tariff policy prevents our exporting
goods 10 foreign parts. Whether the re-
peated assertion of this argument is
based on an assumption of the produc-
ers' ignorance, we do not know. We
have never heard a free trader go be-
yond the bold assertion, To any eNplana-
ton how a tariff ON imports affected ex-
ports very materially.
10 will be borne I'm mind that there is
10 be no tariff on exports, yet they tell
us that we will kill our foreign market
II we protect our home market. How?
Who will explain how? When asked to
explain how that effect is produced by
n protective tariff the usual answer is:
why, IL we tell England she shall not
ship her manufactured goods into the
United States in competition with
American goods, OF course England will
say TO the United States: Then we will
not buy your wheat nor your -four"
Now that is an explanation based
wholly on the idea that il is England as
nation which buys our products, and
there is just the error which is the foun-
dation Of the free traders strongest
argument. England buys no wheat nor
anything else from us-unless il is a
little TO supply her army and navy. 1t
is not England, but IL is an Englishman
--an individual, not n nation, that does
the purchasing.
Now, that English wheat buyer is not
the individual who owns a knife factory
at Sheffield, he is not the man who runs
a cotton factory, he is not the fellow
who controls the Irish linen mills, he is
not even second cousin Of the chap who
manufactures silks.
When that wheat buyer goes down on
change at Liverpool he is not likely TO
stop and say TO himself: THAT Yankee
congress has passed a law which pre-
vents some linen factories Of Ireland
from selling linen to Minnesota people,
and the result of that law will be that
after awhile the fax OF Minnesota will
Zoe made into linen right near the Min
nesota farmers. Therefore I'll not buy
any No. hard wheat OF the Red River
valley"
No, that wheat buyer does not worry
A4hii ~ iHA'h hbthb isif AANii hulAt
maker or the Irish linen manufacturer
as he does about the fact that the tele-
graph shows him that wheat is selling
for ha'pcnny lower in Minneapolis to-
day than it was yesterday, and that
therefore he can get Yankee wheat
more cheaply than he can Australian or
Venezuelan wheat.
There is heap of sentimentalism
about the free traders gush concerning
the brotherhood of all nations, but when
1t comes down to the business of buy
ing and selling, the individual looks
after the individual. 1t is selfish
