NO WASTE OF WORDS
Evidence Which Is Right to the
Point and Reliable.

Judge Frank Ives of District Court of
Crookston, Mimi, says: For some time |
have used Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets with
seeming great benefit, with few exceptions,
1 have not been so free from indigestion in
twenty-five years
Geo. w. Roosevelt, U. S. Consul to
Brussels, Belgium: Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets safe, pleasant to take, convenient
to carry, give keen appetite, perfect diges-
ton.
Mr. w. d. Tomlin, Mechanical Engineer,
Duluth, Mimi: One box OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets has done its work and l
am again gaining flesh and strength.
o. e. Ransom, Hustonville, KY: | was
distressed and annoyed for two years with
throwing UP food, often two or three times
a day; had no certainty of retaining a
meal If ate one. Four boxes of the tab
lets from my druggist have fully cured
me- / find them pleasant to take, conven-
lent to carry.
Rev. G. ID. Brown, Mondovi, Wis: The
effect of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is
simply marvellous; a quite hearty dinner

Over six thousand people in the state of
Michigan alone in 1894 were cured of stom-
ach troubles by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.

AS THE cHANoELLoR THINKS.
The Refusal TO Open the Indian
MINIS the Right Thing.

London, Oct 2S.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the excheqtIer, speak
ing at Bristol this evening, reviewed at
length the history of the recent currency
negotiations between Great Britain, the
United States and France.
The chancellor of the exchequer said he
thought the decision of the Indian gov
eminent not to open the mints perfectly
right. That view might not be shared
he observed, by his colleagues in the cab
met, but they were unanimous as to the
impossibility of overruling India's deci-
sion.
The government was pledged to main
tain the gold standard, and had consid-
cred the subject not in the light of preju-
dice, nor even in the light of such theo-
retical opinions as members of the gov
ornment might hold, but as practical
statesmen; and they had arrived a con-
clusion which they would be able, If
challenged, to justify before parliament or
the country.
The chancellor of the exchequer de-
Tended the policy of the governor of the
Bank of EDgland on the question of a
silver reserve, declaring that the governor
had adopted proper and cautious atti-
tude. With reference to India's reply, he
expressed his doubts whether the
gold standard could be adopted in India as
yet, and he said he wished the Indian gov
eminent had more clearly stated the
grounds for its belief that the gold stan
dard could be more effective.

PROSPERITY FoR SOUTHERN MILLS
Arthur Parkinson Thinks the SOUTH
ern Mills VIII Triumph

Philadelphia, Oct. 28.-The sixty-third
sen1i-annual convention of the New Eng
land Cotton Manufacturers Association
closed to-day. Arthur Parkinson of Prov
idence, R. l., read paper on ''Manufac-
ture and Export of Cotton Goods"
Mr.. Parkinson said in part: 1T is well
known that southern manufacturers, with
the present conditions, can under sell or
compete easily with the eastern mills on
medium and coarse fabrics and the flu
ture looks dark for New England
The facilities of manufacturing have
been so increased that in many lines of
goods the existing manufacturing estab-
lishments can produce a vast amount more
than the United States can consume, and
it seems likely that each year will cause
stagnation for the industry, and, of course,
the usual stoppages of mills during Ger
tain periods, AS a result of this contin-
ued competition ~ certain lines of goods
for the home market, the prices are low,
wages are low, and tariff legislation can
not help matters for the merchant and
jobber viii buy In the cheapest market,
and that means southern looms will be en-
gagged ahead and the New England mills
must take what is left"
