AS Viewed By the Doctor, Rather Than
the Artist.
We often see in the magazines re-
productions of famous paintings repre-
senting the Four Seasons. They are
generally personated by beautiful wom-
Ell, and the typical spring is generally
a young girl. She is buOyant and elias
tic. her eyes are full of fire, her form
lissom and graceful. Her cheeks flush
with health and there breathes from
the canvas the impression of radiant
health.
1t is true, we sometimes see our
Young women in such state of health
in the spring time; but it is the eXcep-
ton Depression and languor are gen.
orally in evidence and the Dropping
lstless figure of the school girl, the
dragging step of the housewife, are
seen in nearly every home. Perfect
health is rare in any season, but this is
especially SO in the spring. The great
majority OF the people need a tonic in
the spring. There are great many
tonics, and they are taken by the peO-
pie to Il greater or less extent. But
the one that seems most popular ut this
time Of The year is Pe-ru-na. 1t
strengthens the weary body, invlgOr-
atcs the nerves and clears the mind.
1t leal es no bad effect upon the system
when it is discontinued The tact of
the efficacy Of Pe-ru-na as q spring
tonic is becoming more widely known
every spring. More Pe-rG-na is beng
taken this spring than ever before.
The people have learned that it is
untalling, and So do not experiment,
but Immediately buy Pe-ru-na when
the old llstlessness Of spring fever"
OvertakeS them.

Government Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through term Of years. and
why it is inelastic, remaining almost
without change from season to season,
is that the security for it is deposit OF
government bonds. The bank capital is
in the treasury instead of in business.
The profits on circulation decline as the
bonds increase in value or the rate OF
interest declines, and the redemption
process is slow and Ineffective. The
dangers of the government currency
and the deficiencies of the bank curren-
cy are now pretty well recognized, and
every day shows increased earnestness
in the demands Of business men for a
complete and permanent cure, Iron

peared from his home in Union Grove
March - and was found in Racine
Monday. will be left at hospital in
Racine for time in the hopes that he
may recover his mind His brothers,
John and Theodore, the latter of Kan

hospital. Henry recognized both his
brothers though he had not seen Theo-
dore since 1889.
When Mr.. Weismann left home he
had about $500 in his possession. He
still had 1882 when searched. He said
he had been in Chicago the past three
or four weeks, but how he got out of
that city without having been robbed
is mystery.
He was found to be in a deplorable
condition. He had not changed his
linen and his beard had been allowed
to grow, which made him all the more
unacceptable.
A reward OF $50 had been offered to
any person finding him dead or alive.
This reward will be paid to Officers

CO-Opera tive Banking For Farmers.


The American Agriculturist of April
4 again discusses editorially the ''entire
feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers. - "This can be done, :"
it says, "by slight notifications Of the
system Of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved SO remarkably
successful in American cities. These in
situations now hold over $500, 900, 900
of deposits and are thoroughly demon
strated practical success. The Saxon
Land Credit association Ga report upon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary Of state, Washington is q
modification of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia and Germany has
achieved the same success among the
working farmers Of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
our American cities. The peoples banks
of Italy and neighboring countries, based
upon much the same plan, have had
marvellous success. A report giving fur
Their particulars upon the Saxon Land
Credit association has been published
ny ClI6 QODQ Ul4lS1IU VI SUCtIO III 1ACC OA5-
tributiOn, i'll which Consular Agent Pc
tiers says with truth that can never be
questioned:
What American farmers require to relieve
them of the present financial strain under
which they are living is the power to borrow
at the lowest possible interest consistent with
their securities and the financial conditions in
the great centerS of the world So long as they
must borrow from the local money lender they
must pay high rate of interest for accommo
datiOn. 1t is this high rate of interest under
which our farmers are now striving and fall
ing that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction. Remove the high rate of
interest give them the same opportunity to
use their credit as men engaged in other bust
ness exchange the present mortgage on the
farm for one with q reasonable interest, which
the farmer can pay and have something left
for the savings bank, and we will restore hap
pinesS and prosperity.
This question has been solved by the farmers
and landholders Of Europe and the solution
of the problem did not consist in the issue by
the government of mass of debaSed currency
circulated among the people at fictitious
value The end was reached by the farmers
and landholders by their own force and CO
operation, by the founding of associations
which III time became power in the land, and
whose financial strength was measured by mil
lions of und0ubted securities which the public
was only too glad to invest in.

American industry to meet foreign
competition on equal terms as far as
can be secured by tariff legislation.
The committee estimates that this bill
will produce an income of 1882, 200, 900
which with the other revenue receipts
will make a total revenue for the
year of about $40, 1000, 900, and will
leave margin over the estimated ex-
penditures of some So ,OOO,O 900, sum
which should not encourage much ex-
travagance.
In his arguments on the sugar
that, ''no protection is given the re-
fining interests by the proposed bill
beyond that which is adequate for the
continued existence of the business of
the country. If the senator is right
about this it should be satisfactory,
for no one can want the sugar refn-
ing industry driven out of the coun-
try. Senator Aldrich explained, when
questioned in regard to the increased
tax on beer and tobacco, that as these
things were taken as articles in vol
untary use, that is as luxuries, and
that the committee believed that they
could better stand an increased tax
than any articles which are a neces
sity. He predicts, basing his predic-
tions on the fate of the Cleveland ad
ministration, that the issue of bonds
to supply deficiency of revenue
would be fatal to the party respon-.
sible for the tariff bill; as the party in
control of the treasury can never pay
our debts with borrowed money in
times of peace without bringing ruin
to the party.
The democrats will doubtless try to
make much of the disagreements
which developed among the republi-
can senators on some of the points
brought up, but it could not be other
wise on any bill. The wants of the
country are too diversifed; we have
large country and what is good for
the people of one locality may
not be for the best interests for
the people of some other place, and
so there must be some disputes over
these questions. When it comes right
to the test it will be found that these
same men will vote for a measure
which shall be thought to be the best
for the country at large even if it is
not just what the people of their par
ticular state would like.

THE TARIFF as BROUGHT
BEFORE THE SENATE.

In bringing the new tariff bill, with
it's amendments made by the Senate
tariff committee, before the Senate
last week, Senator Aldrich, in can
did manner, explained the bill and its
amendments, showed why the COM
mittee thought best that the amend
ments should be made, and what is
expected of the bill in the line of re-
venue and of protection for our home
industries. Senator Aldrich says that
the committee have tried to make
the bill adequate to supply the de-
mands for revenue but that it is ex-
pected that this is all it will do. In
many cases the rates made by the
House have been lowered as it was
thought they were unnecessarily high
He says that the talk of "prohibitive
protectionsssis meaningless as the
rates have been made so as to allow
