DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an iuilamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets in1smed you have a

and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de.

Dun's Review of Trade for the week is
a gratifying exhibit of II steady increase
in nearly all lines and leads to the hope
that in spite OF slow work with the tariff
bill, times will be much improved in the
course of another year. The Republicans
contend that tariff bill will make times
better; but as they are already improving
this entirely refutes their argument. In
fact the conditions prevailing in this
country for the past six years were due
to some deeper evil than defective tariff
legislation, and prosperity will not be
completely restored until silver is remon-
cited.

What Protection Did for Tin Plate.

There has not these many moons
been any allusion to the subject Of
American tin plate on the part of the
free trade press. One need not go
back on their files but four or five years
to learn what agony they were in be-
cause the Mckinley law had imposed a
duty on tin plate. They shrieked out
rage" and told of the taxed dinner pals
of the American workingmen. They
said this country could never compete
with Welsh tin. We should, they told
us, raise food for the Welsh tin work
ers and take their tin in exchange. We
could never sell our products in Eng
land except we took English goods in
exchange, they declared.
Well what has been the result?
Everybody knows that the manufac-
ture of American tin plate is affording
employment to thousands Of American
day. Everybody knows that our ex-
ports have increased and we have been
selling for cash what once we sold for
tin.
This remarkable industrial change,
the transference to this country Of a
business that was once looked upon a.
belonging to England or Wales as a
birthright, is emphasized by the report
of British consul, Mr.. O'Beirne, few
days ago.
According to the report, the United

Cuban News

All sorts of Cuban news are to be
had. Both sides make daily claims of
victories. The average reader has by
this time become pretty well qualified
TO sift the chaff from the wheat so far
as it is possible to do so and we
think the general impression prevails
that remarkable success is attending
the Cuban arms.
The report that on Tuesday pitched
battle was fought in the Havana pro-
vince has not been successfully denied.
Col. Arrange with 1000 men is said TO
have engaged General Molina with 15OJ
and after several hours hot fighting
drove the Spanish from the field with
brilliant machete charge. General
Luoue's endeavor to regain lost ground
in the Santiago province seems to be
meeting with disappointment. An
other desperate and drawn battle is re-
ported at Guabina. These reports come
via Key West Via Havana, where the
Spanish press censor holds sway, comes
the report of twenty-one Insurgents
surrendering to the Spaniards in the
Havana province.
From various sources we learn that
the revolt in the Philippines is becom-
ing more troublesome. All news from
Spain corroborates the impression
that while Minister Woodford has pre-
scented no ultimatum and fixed no limit
for the war he has given the Spanish
leaders to understand that there is 4
limit beyond which reason. humanity,
the rights of Americans in Cuba ami
the dictates of good policy will forbid
this government going in it's policy of
non-interventiOn.
What especially complexities matters
is the game of politics now being played
in Spain. Partisan bitterness, the
declaration Of Carlos, the pretender,
that Spain has lost Cuba, the state

Tuesday, he said: 1.-The pain, shame

concerning them. The sum is this:
Firstly-A hundred thousand Arne-

greater profit to the assassins. Sec

time since the Crimean war. Thirdly

cally from the passage Of the Mckin-
ley tariff act, at which time the Amert-
can market was wholly supplied by
South Wales. Mr.. O.Beirne traces the
gradual expansion of the industry in
this country. and the use Of the domes-
tic article in place of that formerly inn
ported from Wales. Summing up the
situation for the last calendar year, he
says: THE position of the British ex-
port trade may thus be summed up:
THE interior market was, as whole.
lost to British exporters, but the meat
packers continued to use a certain
number of drawback plates, and there
was still a limited consumption OF
British plates for certain special pur-
poses. The Atlantic coast still offered
very large market for drawback
plates, and a much reduced one for
plates not intended to be re-exported,
and the Gulf coast took a moderate
number of Welsh plates for local con-
sumption.
The only section of the market which
was still supplied by South Wales was
the Pacific coast. Taking the Pacific
coast import at 54,OO0,OOO pounds, that
of the gulf coast at 100000 pounds,
and that of drawback plates at $780,
OOO, 900 pounds, there remains an import
of GO, 900, 900 pounds of last year for con-
sumption in the United States. which
must be distributed between the Allan
tic coast and the interior points,
According to Mr.. O'Beirne's calcula-
tions, it is estimated that British plates
can be landed, approximately: AT
points on Atlantic coast for $3SS or ~
cents above price of American plates
there: at Pacific ports for 1884 or 221.
cents below price of American plates
there: at Chicago for $3SS, or over 30
cents above price of Indiana-made tin
plates there; at New Orleans for $3.S;.
or ten cents above price of Indiana
plates there.
Under existing rates of duty, there
fore" the report proceeds, land at
present prices, the only section of the
American market in which British
plates of ordinary grades exclusive of
drawback plates) can continue in the
long. run to compete is the Pacific
coast market, representing an annual
consumption of about 10000, 900 pounds.

And this limited importation can only
last so long as the demand is not of
sufficient Importance to induce native
manufacturers to make the necessary
arrangements for producing the special
qualities of tin plate, which they are
undoubtedly able to do"

he Is not only prepared to take full ad-
of the prosperity which Is now
coming his way but he is SO situated as
to disseminate it. He will be able to
get all there is to be had out OF the
increased prices of wheat, wool, hides,
corn. potatoes, fruit, ETC., but he knows
Of many ways in which he can expend
a good part Of it to advantage. He has
been buying so little during the hard
times the stock of necessaries has be-
come depleted to considerable de-
gree. Many of the dollars he takes in
will be expended in replenishing. The
whole country will feel the impetus this
gives. And though this has not been
as prolific a wear for the Maine farmer
as he could wish, he will get good prices
and quick demands for whatever he
has to sell. These demands will large
" come from local sources. The con-
sumers who work in the wooden mills.
in the paving quarries and the shoe
shop will be liberal buyers at good
prices. for the expenditure of those west
ern dollars will inevitably increase
business in which they must share to
some extent. We couldn't dodge the
effects of all this We're We to try.
