The Best Remedy for rheumatism.

From The Faiyha9cR lN ~ Register.
Mr.. James Rowland, Of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead Of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
a bottle of it. His wife did not ap-
prove of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at
first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hours
time was able TO so to sleep. She
now applies it whenever she feels an
ache or a pain and finds that it always
gives relief. He says that no medi-
cine which she had used ever did her
as much good. The % and 80 cent

THE Dingley tariff bill mas been re-
ported from committee and is now be-
fore the Senate. 1t has been consider
ably amended and is probably an all
around better bill than when it came
from the House-though it is bad
enough, even now. 1t increases the
tax on beer, tobacco and cigarettes,
which is all right ; it puts tax Of 10
cents a pound on tea, which is not so
well, for the importers will take occa-
sion to double this amount hides are
taxed a cent and a-half a pound the
House duty on wool is reduced three
cents, the tax being s to 9 cents ac-
cording to the grade. The sugar sched-
ule is so complicated that nobody ap-
pears to understand it, but it Is salts
factory to the Sugar Trust, which
means it is bad enough. 1t is appar.
ent that the measure is to be rushed
through, so We may as well prepare to
swallow it.

No decision has yet been arrived at
concerning the distribution Of pie to
the West Virginia applicants. The
hitch in the appointments said to be
over the internal revenue collector
ship. The preference of Senator FL
kins and the Congressman from this
State is for Thomas E. Davis, of Graf
ton; President Mckinley would like
to appoint A. B. White, Of Parkers-
burg, who was once an Ohio man; but
George NJ. Bowers, Of Berkeley coun-
ty, seems to have the strongest claims
for the place, and the delegation is
DESTROYS of satisfying him. He has
for years been an active worker and a
liberal contributor, and, besides, moth
ing has been given to the Republicans
east of the mountains, so far, either by
the President or by Governor Atkln-
son. The position Of United States
fish commissioner has been offered to
Mr.. Bowers, but he doesn't propose to
be shelved in that way, He syoung
and ambitious, and he wants an i'm
portant place in the State, where he
can keep in touch with his party and
control a lot ofpatronage. The situa-
ton is a complicated one, and there is
a probability that whatever way it is
settled somebody is going to be very

THE CLOvEN FOOT.

Wages must come dowm. The ra't
roads get one cent for hauling a ton o.
coal fee miles, for one hundred miles
twemty cents, less than coal ShovelerS
get for putting a ton Of coal into yO'r
chute from the cart. Wages in Amer
ica stand against any reriraI Of b'1Sl-
ness"
This is the cold-blooded statement
of Senator Stephen B. Elkins, Of West
Virginia. wages must come down.
The men who toll to carry out the
great schemes of Senator Elkins must
have their daily earnings reduced to
increase at a greater rate his own MIL
lions. He is not satisfied with the
way in which his wealth is growing,
and every man who works for him
must yield up his mite to make the
fortune larger.
The coal shovelers are getting too
much money The railroads are not
getting enough In all probability,
too, the opulent coal miner is getting
the same advantage over the poor
mine-owner. Let Senator Elkins give
a free excursion over his railroad, so
that the world may see the fairness of
the high-priced railroad employees and
the aristocratic bearing Of the over
paid miners. Let their sumptuous
manner of living and their paIatial
dwellings be compared with the hum
bic quarters of Senator Elkins, ex-
Senator Davis and the other capitalists
whoare being so greatly imposed upon
by these merciless labor tyrants.
What shameful deception has been
practiced upon the laborlng men by the
Republican leaders Last fall they
were told that their only hope was in
the election of Mr.. Mckinley as Pres
ident. Work was to be plentiful, wages
were to be kept up, Sound money
was to be paid them, and prosperity
was to be theirs. Now, just two months
from President McKinley's Inaugural
ton, we find Senator Elkins, one Of the
chief apostles of sound money and pro-
lection, getting ready to reduce wages.
He is not now in possession Of any in
formation, we suppose, that he did not
have last fall, yet he would not have
dared to say then in West Virginia OF
any other place in the United States
that "wages in America stand against
any revival of business.
Mr.. Elkins is in an unpleasant pre-
dicament. He either willfully deceived
the workingmen last fall when he
promised them prosperity under Mr..
Mckinley, or else he is now guilty Of
a most discreditable attempt to beat
down the hire of the laborer without
just cause.
In this same interview, in which
Mr.. Elkins complained Of the hard
ships Of the railroads, which were
forced to carry coal at such unprofta-
bic rates, the Senator brags Of the fact
that his West Virginia Central Rail
road, which carries little else but lum-
Der and coal, pays all expenses and
piles up an annual surplus Of $4,000
besides. We should like to ask him
if all the railroad employees and all
the coaI-handlers along his railroad ac-
cumulate one-half as great surplus
in a year?
Senator Elkins's frank talk about
wages is too late for use in the cam
paign of last fall. But it will keep.
