From The Patriot. Jackson. Mich.

Mrs. J. NJ. Akin, wife of the pastor of the
Free Methodist Church, of Spring -Arbor,
Mich, cannot say too much in praise of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Mrs.
Akin has always been hard working wo-
man and has reared family of twelve chill
dren. For several years past she has been
gradually running down in health, until a
year ago she was completely Frustrated with
female weakness stomach trouble and gen.
eral debility. She tells her own story in
this way:
81 was hardly able to do anything. My
appetite was gone, could not sleep and
really believed l was slowly passing away.
l had tried many physicians and taken al
most all kinds of medicines, but it did me
gradually growing worse and was completely
discouraged. About this time l saw an adj
vertisement of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and concluded to try them, for
believed that if they did me no good they
could not make my condition worse. l sent
to Webbs drug store, in jackson, and pro-
cured two boxes, must confess l took them
with but little hope of improvement. i had
not taken all of the two boxes before l began
to notice change for the better. i contin-
ued the treatment until had taken six
boxes, and | am SO much better that l am
now not only able to do my work, but on
several occasions have assisted my neigh
bors. must say l have never received so
much good from so small an amount Of
medicine"
A young lady who is neighbor Of Mrs.
Aiken, but who objects to having her name
used, was troubled with spasms, caused by
suppressed menstruation and her condition
became critical. Mrs. Akin recommended
Pink Pills to her. She had no faith in them,
but to please her friend she sent to Webb's
and procured box. Before she had taken
them week she felt better, and after taking
six boxes she is apparently well woman.
Another young lady who declined to allow
her name to be used in print was very low
with Bright's disease and her life was de-
SPARED of. Upon Mrs. Atkins recommen-
dation she began taking Pink Pills, and af-
ter having used them but few months, she
is in better health than for years, and she
gives all the credit to the wonderful cura.
tive qualities of Pink Pills.
In concluding her story Mrs. Akin said /:
"My recovery, as well as those of the two
girls mentioned, has been so remarkable
that would like all the world to know what
remedy / found in DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and if my statement will induce any
sufferers to try them, am sure they will be
greatly improved, and 1 gladly give it,"

FREE TRADE FAILING.
William Lloyd Garrison Carried Away by
Beautiful Languidge."

In 1892 Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison,
in speech delivered before the New
England Tariff Reform league (now the
New England Free Trade league), said
that the free traders had "hitched their
wagon to star and had allied them
selves with the law of gravitation.
We have no means Of knowing just ex
actly what Mr. Garrison meant by this
phrase. Perhaps he was merely carried
away by the beautiful languidge.
That is a little failing which most free
traders have. Inasmuch as they cannot
have soundness, they must have sound.
But, whatever Mr.. Garrison's exact
meaning by the phrase was, his state.
ment of the inherent downward quality
Of free trade was a stroke of genius.
The free traders have most undoubtedly
called themselves to the law of gravi.
tation, and it looks now as though the
law Of gravitation had proved too much
even for the star to which they hitched
star to which the free trade wagon was
hitchea it was falling star, and it
went out in darkness on Nov. 8, 1896.
We could stand it very we'll If the free
trade star were the only thing which
fell in obedience to the force Of gravita
ton inherent in free trade. But unfor
tunately it is not The wages of work
men, the value Of property, the sales of
business men, our whole industrial
prosperity, have been dragged down by
the free trade law of gravitation. The
whole tendency of free trade in its effect
on our industrial life is down, down.
down, until the industrial condition Of
this country shall have reached the low
level of the conditions which exist il
the countries of Europe and of Asia.
Mr.. Garrison's characterization of free
trade was true beyond what he dreamed
of and quite tallies with the deolara-
ton Of Major Mckinley that free trade
'levels down, protective tariff levels
up"

IN GOOD FAITH.
Senator Wolcott's Efforts on Behalf OF an
International Money Conference.

Senator wolcott's Efforts ON Behalf Of an
International Money Conference.
Senator Wolcott's effort to secure an
international conference to promote the
use Of silver as money is strictly in the
line of the pledges of the Republican
platform adopted at st. Louis. Major
Mckinley, in his letter Of acceptance,
pledged his hearty support of the prin-
ciple, the campaign was fought out
upon it and the good faith of the sound
money forces demands its fulfillment.
International agreement is the only pos
sible means for restoring silver to it's
former position, or even of preventing
it from sinking yet lower.
The proposition is not so chimerical
as some extreme ADVOCATES of the gold
standard and the so cent dollar repudi-
ationists affect to believe. The nations
Of Europe are in no better position with
a limited supply of money metal than
the United States and while they will
certainly not 20 upon silver basis there
is no good reason why they may not
consent to the joint use of both gold
and silver. France is using large guam
tity Of subsidiary silver and Germany
is using some. 1t is to their advantage
to uphold the value of the metal by
increased use, and it is not unreasonable
to suppose they will be willing to join
the other commercial nations in such an
effort.
Even England will not fail to see the
advantage of AN international currency
based upon both gold and silver in pro-
noting international commerce. We'd
ded as it is to the single gold standard
at home, it is more interested in its for
eign trade and its colonies. 1t is not to
be expected that it will favor bimetal-
lie coinage for use in Great Britain, but
it may be brought into an agreement
for larger use of silver as basis for
joint metallic currency to facilitate ex-
changes. Nothing worse than failure
can follow effort, and failure to accom-
plish anything in this case will leave
the United States where it is-upon
a sound gold standard. On the other
hand, the effort may be attended with
a success that will be of material ad-
vantage to this country. -Pittsburg

Potato Scab.

Notes on experiments for the prever-
ton Of potato scab come from the Mon
tana station. A tabulated report is given
of the results obtained by using zinc
chloride, zinc sulphate, potassium per-
manganate, potassium bicarbonate, po-
tassium sulphide and corrosive subliinate
in different strengths of solution and
for diffe 'ent lengths Of treatment. The
different compounds in some strength
were somewhat effective in reducing
scab, but the corrosive sublimate treat
ment, when the seed tubers had been
treated for at least an hour. proved tho
most ucc@efulstreat ment.

UNsTINTED PRAISE.
From, Herald, Saginaw, Mich.

There are many ways in which people may
prove benefactors to the human race. There
are those who, of their abundance, spend
large sums in erecting public buildings, lay
ing out and identifying parks, and in other
ways make the cities in which they reside
pleasant and attractive. Others spend their
money in charitable work and in alleviating
the sufferings of their less fortunate fellows,
and for these acts these people are revered
and honored and called blessed. The man
who having obtained relief from sickness and
makes public the means by which he regain
ed his health is, while his name may not be
published as extensively as he who spends
his money lavishly for the benefit of others,
none the less public benefactor.
The pretty little village of Tuscola is the
Oldest place in the county Of the same name.
1t is quietly located, away from the railway,
but, in spite of its quiet location, the merits of
a sterling remedy have become known there,
and one Of its citizens testfes to its efficiency.
