REMARKABLE CURE %
CHRONIC DIARRHOEA.

In 1862, when 1 served my country as u
private in Company A, 18TH Pennsylya.
mia Volunteers, contracted chronic
diarrhoea. 1t has given me great deal
of trouble ever since. l have tried a
dozen different medicines ard several
prominent doctors without any perma-
nent relief. Nor long ago a friend sent
me II sample bottle of Cham berlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. and
after that 1 bought and took so. cent
bottle; apd now I can say that I am en-
tirely cured. | cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great remedy, and
recommend it to all suffering veterans.
If in doubt write me Yours gratefully,

that question. He is, however, thor
oughly in favor of it. He also holds
decided opinions upon the question OF
lifetime service in the United States SUI
irene court, believing that the terms of
the judges should be limited, as they are
upon the State bench, and that their con-
tinuance in Office should be subject to the
appointment of the President and the
confirmation of the Senate. He believes
that by this means the court would gain
even higher status than it now pos
sesses, and that decisions like that in the
income tax case, which brought upon the
court much bitter criticism, would be
avoided.
Senator martin will also discuss the
tariff question. It will be remembered
that at the Roanoke convention his vote
on the lumber schedule of the tariff bill
was referred to as being q. variance with
the position of his colleague. Should this
matter come up at all in the campaign
Senator Martin will have ample explana-
tion to make of his action. When the
proposition upon which he voted came
before the Senate it WAS O motion to
strike eff the duty upon white pine lum-
Der, which had been fixed by the bill at SO
per thousand feet. Senator Martin was
not willing that this discrimination
should be made in favor of the only lum-
Der which came in competition with the
yellow pine of Virginia. Had the motion
been one to strike Off all duty on all
kinds of lumber it would have received
his hearty assent. AS it was, the adop-
ton of the amendment would have dis
eliminated against the interests of Vir-
ginia to very marked extent. The pine
of Virginia is shipped to the north as far
as freight charges will allow it's transpor-
tation before it is placed at disadvant-
age by the incoming of Canadian pine.
The abolition Of the proposed duty would
have widened the market for the Cana
dian product, and consequently lessened
the territory of cons nmption for the Vir-
ginia lumber, and Senator Martin was
not willing that this discrimination
sh Duld be made unless all lumber was
placed on an equal footing. In the Sec
tion of the State where lumber is most
largely handled, Senator Martins vote. is
understood, and has been universally
commended, and when the explanation
now given is made..upon the stump there
is little doubt that it will be accepted as
showing that Mr. Martin pursued wise
and proper course.
Apart from this single instance there is
no division in the State upon the tariff
question. The HIGHER prices which are
now being quoted at every crossroads
store will. in the opinion of the Demo
cratic leaders, be stronger campaign
argument than anything which can be
uttered upon the stump. i'll ..a,. IA

INTERNAL REVENUE GAIN.
Receipts of Last Year in Advance
OF the Year Free
ceding.

The annual report of the Internal Rev
enue Office in this City, which will be
completed and forwarded to Washington
in few days, shows an increase in the re-
ceipts over those of the preceding year.
For the fiscal year of 1895 the total COL
lections amounted to $685., 1872 SO, and
for the year ended Decembe 1856, to
81, 410,019 46. This records q gain of
$342, LAG Sc. The collections for the month
of December just closed are $249, 239 OF,
while those of the same month in 1895
were $203. 079 IS, showing monthly gain
OF $40, 1873 II.
Although all branches of the business
are included in tue report the gain has
been upon brandies and whistles princi-
paliy. The penalties collected for the
violation OF. the revenue laws have added
materially to the advance in the gross re-
ceipts. Another cause of the increase is
that the district has been thoroughly har-
vested, All persons subject to taxation
have been cailen upon, and concerns that
have eretofore escaped attention have
been compelled to nav taxes
With gain of over $342, 900 for 1896, I'M
der the stress of hard times, it is thought
that 1897, under more favorable CONNER
cial conditions, will continue the advance
in annual receipts.

gentlemen, one and all, expressed the
opinion that $25 600 was not too much for
the services performed for the State. Mr..

thus increasing he expense of the farmer.
Many other articles were dragged into
the discussion and mention was made of
the fact that anthracite coal is admitted
free of duty and landed here from Austria
liza at the rate of 81 so ton.
Finally the suggestion of Mr.. Pond that
the bags be not placed on the free list but
that drawback be imposed on exporters
by the Government covering the duty
originally paid on the bags used for hold
ing grain when they were first imported
into the country was adopted and ended
the dispute.
Mr.. Griswold moved that the tax on
soda, ash and salsoda be increased from
SIS TO $40 ton. He said that nearly $780,
600 was invested in This industry by one
firm, and though in existence for ten
years it had never yet been able to paw a
dividend. The motion prevailed.

ing communication to the committe :,
which was read to the convention before
adjournment was taken:
Gentlemen: Equable climate and superior
soil render California one of the most promi-
nent seed-groWing States in the Union, but
cutting down the cost of production to the
utlnosJ minimum, 1t is found by the seed
growers of this State and other States i'm
practicable to meet competition with Euro
pean-grown seeds, because of the fact that
foreign-grown field, vegetable and flower
seeds are either admitted free or else are
charged merely nominal duty.
The result is that all kinds of seeds are
heavily imported by the seedhouses of the
United States from the small farms of France
and Germany, operated BY either pauper or
family labor-by the latter expression we
mean that on farm after farm, in the countries
named, the sole culIivators are the mau,
woman and children living thereon. all OF
whom turn out TO work in the field, the chill
dren being given hoe to use at the tender age
when American children are given books and
sent to school to broaden their minds and
make useful citizens.
For reasons which could be stated more at
length, but when, with the foregoing COM
ment, must be obvious to an intelligent COM
munity, we beg to voice the desires of the
seed-growers of Calitornia by proposing the
following schedule of duties, and trust that
you may see fl to incorporate the same In
such report as may be forwarded to the Con-
gressional Committee at Washington, which
is considering these questions:
Five cents per pound on all turnip, rape,
spinach, paisley, beet, mangold.
Ten cents per pound on carrot, leek, radish.
Fifteen cents per pound on celery, lettuce,
endive.
Twenty cents per pound on cabbage, kale,
onion, satisfy, tomato.
Twenty cents per bushel on peas and beans.
Forty cents per pound on kohl rabi and
broccoli.
Fifty cents per pound on caulifower.
All flower seeds 90 per cent ad valorem.
All seeds not enumerated go per cent ad
yalorem.

The final session OF the tariff conference
was held at Chamber of Commerce Hall
yesterday at 10 A. NJ The report of the
committee was submitted by General N.
Z. Chapman, with the explanation that
the arrangement of schedules was the
same as given in the Mckinley bill and
that the provisions of that bill in a large
measure governed the re port.
The rates recommended in the report
are generally the same as those of the
Mckinley bill, in few instances less, but
in very few greater. 1t was duly taken
into consideration that California is not
only exposed to competition coming from
British Columbia, Mexico, China and
Japan, but that cody labor large ly pre-
walls in the former province.
The document spoke of the reciprocal
relations existing among the States and
set forth that a surrender of individual
interests should be made for the good of
the whole. The paper will go to the
Ways and Means Committee at Washing
ton with the title of Proposed Tariff
Legislation as 1t May Affect the State of
