Cages Speech.

All that is necessary cannot be ac-
complished ut once, and the country
ought to be willing to wait patiently
for the solution OF the serious problems
with which the new administration
was confronted, especially when such
good progress already has been made
and such positive assurances of its
plans for the future are given.-Illinois
State Journal
1t Is not imprudent to feel certain
both that Mr.. Gage has said nothing
which Mr.. Mckinley does not approve,
and also that the administration, in
venturing thus to make what amounts
to promise, is not speaking without
evidence that Congress will not be I'M
willing to take some step in the direc-
ton Of currency reform.-Milwaukee
Sentinel.
The sO-called currency reformers are
impatient of delay and falsely accuse
the administration and the Republicans
in Congress with being Indifferent to
the currency question. alleging this to
be the chief reason for the hardness Of
Industrial and business recovery. Sec
rotary Gage refutes the accusation, and
his assurance will be received by the
country with satisfaction and conf
dence.-Omaha Bee.
The Republican party is opposed to
the free coinage Of silver except by in
ternational agreement, and as such an
agreement Is out Of the question the
business world should appreciate the
fact, and show by it's hopefulness that
II has confidence in the President. At
the same time, II we are to have a re-
newal of prosperity, Congress must act
promptly on the tariff and must enact
such n measure as will, while yielding
an adequate but inextravagant reve-
nue., properly protect American labor

The Cuban Policy.

Thus far there can be no difference OF
opinion in regard to the course Of the
President. 1t Is true that he has not ac-
knowledged the belligerency or the in
dependence Of Cuba. There has been
a grave conflict of statement in regard
to the status Of the Cuban insurgents.
1t is admitted that there has been suf-
fering and hideous cruelty; that lives
have been ruthlessly taken; and that
gross and disgraceful practices have
gone on. The President is appealed to
by a large element Of humane and lib
. erty-loving people of the United States
to interpose our power and prevent n
continuance Of these barbarities. Some
there are who seem impatient at his de-
lay. But when the reasonable people Of
America consider the. vast amount Of
difficult and important questions which
have urged themselves upon the Prcsi-
dents attention, his course needs no
apology. He has set out to thoroughly
sift the facts Of the situation. That Is
the first requisite. When he has fully
satisfied himself from reliable sources
that the condition In Cuba demands
American interposition he may be ex-
pected to act In wise and judicious
manner.-Ohio State Journal.

Calling a Spade a Pitchrork.

Calling a spade a pitchfork does not
make it such. Democrats. when they
want the products of their sections pro-
tected, speak of the rates proposed as
revenue duty" Nevertheless. they are
perfectly willing to accept the rates Of
the Dingley bill, which everybody knows
and recognizes as thoroughly protective
measure. The Texans make no objection
to the Dingley rates on wool, the Louis
lana and Florida people approve the rates
on sugar, and those Of South Carolina APP
plaud the rice tariff and want duty plac-
ed on cotton, and so on through the South.
In all these cases they insist that the
particular duty they ask is only "reve-
nue." rate. Nevertheless, they know that
the figures named are part of the pro-
tective system Of the Dngley bill.

duty policy for the protec.

eliminating duty policy for the protec-
ton of American shipping in the for
eign trade, there has been opposition
to the policy nevertheless. The opposi-
ton was confined to n very few people,
however, and the latest information
indicates that this has disappeared. 1t
now looks as though there would be a
common understanding among all
Americans in behalf of the discriminate
ing duty policy, and the opposition will
be felt and shown by the foreign ship
ping interests alone.

Revenue and Protection.

The tariff protects the industries in
the United States which are subject to
foreign competition, But it does not
protect American ships which are sub
ject to foreign competition. The Elkins
discriminating duty bill proposes to
remedy this defect by imposing high
er duty OH imports in foreign than in
American vessels. The Elkins bill
ought to be part of the new tariff bill.

lection. 1t will also increase the rev.

Popocrats Have No Use for Democrats

Popocrats Have No Use for Democrats
The Bryanites are apparently deter
mined not to receive gold" Democrats
back into the fold. Bryan protests
against the attempt of the latter to
raise the tariff issue this year He is
reported to have said recently that the
tariff issue Is no more prominent this
year than it was last, and it then failed
to keep the gold men loyal to their
party. For that reason he sees no cause
for raising the tariff issue this year.
AS a matter OF fact, there seems to
be no ground upon which the gold and
silver Democrats can compromise their
differences. They are as far apart as
ever. The Bryanites are determined to
make free coinage the issue again. That
will be the case In Ohio, and it will
doubtless be the case in other States.
The Democratic party In 1897 will be
under Popocratic control the same as it
was in 1896. 1t follows. then, that the
true Democrats" as they call them
selves, will either have to still their
conscience and turn In with the Bryan
ties, go it alone, or give their support TO
the Republicans once more.
If the gold men are anxious to de-
stroy the influence of the Bryanites
they should assist the Republicans to
restore prosperity by passing a protect
i've tariff law and then help to admin
lister another overwhelming defeat to
the party of cheap money and repudia-
ton. That would do the business.-Ex-

Troubles Of Farmers.

On Oct o, 1891, corn sold in Mclean
County, Ohio, at an average price Of 40
cents a bushel. Empire township, ac-
cordlng to the assessors return, pro-
duced In 1894 total Of 159, 100 bushels
Of corn. The crop of 1896 was practi-
cally the same. At 40 cents bushel
this corn brought the farmers ST. 800.
The average price on Oct. o, 1896, in
Mclean County was Is cents bushel;
so that the actual value of the current
crop Is SOS, 63S-a loss of $49,321. In
1891, oats sold at an average, on Oct.
q, Of 26 cents bushel. The yield in
Empire township In 1894 was $4,000
bushels. Assuming that the production
was the same in 1896. the crop realized
on the basis Of 1891 values $21 ,034.
The average price paid on Oct. was
10 cents bushel, or 5000. a loss Of
$11,944 on oats, or SCI ,263 on oats and
corn alone. There was purchased in
Leroy. in 1891. 10000 pounds Of wool.
The production has declined over one
half since then, but that is fairly
chargeable to the Democratic free
trade policy-to the enactment into law
of the Wilson bill. The loss on the
wool crop of Empire township this
year, as compared with 1S91-the price
then being Is cents pound and 10
cents in 1S96-is $1,000. On these
three items alone the farmers of En-
pire township We're $71,665 poorer in
1896 than they were in 1891. And still
we wonder Mt hard times among the
farmers, distraint for rent processes,
and inability of men who own land to

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed you have a
rumbliug sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
