A FEW weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him to
be in most miserable condition. 1t was
undoubtedly bad case of la grippe, and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-
date steps to bring about speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to make first trial of the medicine. To say
that it was satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed, 1t acted like
magic and the result was speedy and per-
recommending this excellent Cough RENE.

MRS CLEAVELAND'S WORDS.
The Wife Of Conductor CleaVe-
land and Her Experience.
A Remarkable Result-FaCts
of Much Interest.
How the Mortality Rate May Be
Lessened.

With scores of people suffering from rheu-
matism, neuralgia, and kindred diseases, it is
evident that the following letter, which was
published once before in the WATCHMAN, did
not have their reading.
1t certainly is convincing, and if its advice
were followed by more, the mortality rate
would be materially lessened.
Since this letter was printed, a WATCHMAN
correspondent has investigated the facts thor
oughly and finds that they are vouched for by
Mrs Cleveland's neghbors and friends. Her
husband is Conductor Cleveland, who has been
with the Central Vermont r. r., for twenty
years.
The letter is published in full as received
and strikingly verifes the saying, Truth is
stranger than fiction"
velous communication to make, and one that
feel it my duty to send to you for publication,
much as i dislike seeing my name in print.
For three years have been able to walk but
very little, and it was seldom that could SIT
up over half a day at time. None of the
physicians seemed to understand my case
some calling it neuralgia or rheumatism, while
others said that my sufferings were caused by
ulcers. Any way, none of them helped me
and after spending hundreds of dollars, / be
came utterly discouraged.
finally went to New York, where for TIVE
months was under the care of one of thu
most eminent physicians of that city. But m.
sickness and helplessness were not bettered

result in causing the money loaners
to either charge a higher rate of in

former contingency could be easily
regulated by the law OF the state,
while the latter would be regulated by
the law of necessity.
The money of the loaners is their

the profits OF their farms. No one
will deny the fact that farm security
is the safest on earth, and is prefera bic
to that OF bank or government loans,
yet the farmer ia charged a much
higher rate of interest and is imposed
upon to the extent OF paying the

Strong drink is making such ravages

Annes asylum has drawn terrible
picture of the evils of incbriety, and the

fuse TO contine themselves TO milk, cot

that they can dispense with their W hite

be difficult to convert the artisans and

Exports and Imports.

The imports of clothing in 1895
ran up to 40,37O, 900 pounds, al
most equpl to the entire importa-
ton for the years 1891, 1892 and
1898, under the Mckinley law.
The total value Of this cloth was
$60,319, 301. There are districts
i'll England where they have re-
duced to an exact science the bnsi-
ness Of making woolens out Of
shoddy, mungo, wastes, COW S
hair and other rubbish, in the
spinning and weaving Of which
the American manufacturers have
not learned the rudiments, al
though it is clear they will have
to learn them if they are TO COM
pete with this class Of goods In
the market. These shoddy goods
are introduced into the United
States By he adj valorem basis of
the tariff at an underval.ation
A large quantity Of all the cloth
ing placed on the market, it not
the entire amount, has consid
cradle percentage of shoddy incor-
porated into it, even the better
class Of goods having a shoddy
backing. 1t is evident however
that the great reduction In cloth
ing caused by free wool has i'm
PEELED American manufacturers to
become accustomed to the use OF
a greater amount of shoddy. I'm
der the Mckinley law the impor-
tation of shoddy amounted to
25O,OO0 pounds year. Under
one year of the Wilson law, it was
2O,7l8,O0O pounds. The theory
of the trainers Of this Wilson law
was that free wool would stop the
importation of shoddy. The rea-
son for this increased use of hoddy
in this country, however, is evil
dent. 1t is the only way the
American manufacturer can com
pete with the cheap clothing OF
Europe. Shoddy is a fibrous
material obtained by deviling or
tearing into fbers refuse wooden
goods, old stockings, rags, drug
gets, etc.
