Why Prosperity Lags.

Those who are impatient becacse prosperity lags on the way, and our industries do not flourish, should re- member that we are not only still un
 der the Democratic tariff, but that every vessel that comes to our shores is load ed with goods that are being rushed in before the Dingley bill becomes g law. The competition of foreign goods. there
 fore, has not been lessened at all. On the contrary it has been for the time be- ing increased. Every home manufac- turer knows that all this mass of mer- chandise has got to be placed on the market and absorbed by it before there can be any demand for,his own product. Hence he does not start his machinery, his men stand idle and the whole com munity suffers. Those who retard the passage of the Dingley bill are respon- sible for the postponement of prosper our rtimes.-Po'keepsie Eagle.

That most unreasonable, unjust and unnecessary bicycle lantern bill which passed the House last week reveals the strength of the lobby in tho Connecti- cut legislature. The bill is solely in the interest of bicycle lantern manufactur- ers, notwithstanding it has been sugar coated with 8 preparation called "pub- lic safety" in order to have it swallowed. The bill will injure the sale of wheels. It will check the demand for wheels be- cause the lantern nuisance almost de- stroys the comfort and pleasure of rid ing . wheel. If the bill becomes law we think that bicycle manufacturers will have to furnish a lantern gratui- tously with every wheel sold in future, because unless equipped with lantern . bicycle will not be legal vehicle. This bicycle lantern bill means $500, GOO annually taken right out of the pockets of either the wheelmen in Connecticut, or else taken out of the pockets of bi- cycle manufacturers. Size it up wheel men. and then keep record of the representatives and senators who vote for said bill.

THE TRUE REMEDY.

W. M. Repine. editor Tiskilwa, H., "Chief." says: "We won't keep house without Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. Ex- perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until We used Dr Kings New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have certain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies. even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr Kings New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has g record of cures and besides is guaran. teed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at W. H. Camps drug store.
