from us in August and September
nearly $25. 5000. 900. as compared with
the corresponding months Of last year

conundrum for those Democrats who
insisted that high tariff meant de-

The reply of Assistant Secretary

Spanish government, on the subject Of
American fillibusterers for Cuba,
shows that eight vessels have been
employed in this work, cruising over

capturing seven vessels engaged in
that work, and breaking up number
of other expeditions which were in

Representatives of the free. coinage
proposition met in Kentucky the
other day, and, after few minutes of
private conference. announced that
they had decided to keep up the
fight for silver" In view of the fact
that the Republicans made gains
where silver was made an issue in
the recent elections, members of that
party will offer no objections.

The prospective attitude of Presi.
dent Mckinley on the Cuban question
is now matter of much interest.
This anxiety is doubtless due to the
fact that war cloud would check, il
not absolutely destroy, the business
improvement among farmers, manu-
facturers, and merchants, which has
been apparent since the Republican
success of 1897.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-12-04

Those people who were disappoint.
ed at the destruction of the reciproc-
ity arrangements under the Wilson
act will be gratifed to know that the
Dingley law is likely to operate in
this line in wider and more complete
way than did the Mckinley law. and
reciprocity under the new tariff act
will, it is said, be even greater value
and give greater satisfaction than was
the case under the old law which was
SO popular.

Free-traders. who predicted horrible
things with reference to the markets
for our own productions abroad under
the Dingley law. have not seen their
promises made good. On the con
trary, August and September expor-
tations from this country to the coun-
tries which made protests against our
tariff amount to $I3I,446, 1913. while
those OF the corresponding months Of
last year under the Wilson law
amounted TO only $Io7,o77 $50. This
doesn't look as though the protest"
were matter for much anxiety.

NEW MONEY
Which Is Now Being Printed BY the
Government.


Local bankers and others who have
handled considerable money are look
ing forward with considerable interest
to the issue of the new paper money
that is to be printed in several colors.
Some Of the designs have already
been prepared, and are unique. Sec
rotary Gage is very DESTROYS Of circu-
lating the money. because anyone
who may have handful Of the new
bills will be able to separate them
into the different classes so that they
can be counted offhand without the
present necessity Of close scrutiny.
The greater simplicity OF the new
bills. il is said will make them more
difficult to initiate.
The new 81 bill designs are CON-
pleted. aud are handsome. There are
only two designs for each denomina-
tions, one for the face and one for tie
back, because all will be alike, wheth
er silver certificates, bank notes or
Treasury notes.
II you find bill IN your hand with
big spread eagle on it you will know
that 1t is 81 without looking for the
MINERAL.
IF you desire to ascertain what kind
Of a ST bill you have look for the
Treasury seal II red it is Treasury
note. If green it is silver certificate,
and If blue it Is bank note.
This line Of design will be carried
out on all bills from 81 to $1,000.
Under the present system there are
a7 patterns for bills from 81 to $1,000,
while under the new system there
will be nine One design for the
front aud back will suffice for each OF
the new bills.

Congress, when it meets next week
will find very gratifying showing
for the first four months of the new
tariff law. Its earnings during the
first TOUR months have exceeded by
several millions of dollars the earn
ings Of the corresponding four months
of the Wilson law; its November
earnings reached SIS, 900, 900. which
is more than rs per cent in excess Of
the November earnings in the first
year of the Wilson law.

The use of medicine in the exclusive treatment of disease belongs to the mid dle ages, and is nonsensical in most cases and absurd when used in all cases. Dr. I. Lawson Cameron and Prof. Maynard, we'll known in this com munity as Magnetic and Dynamic Headers, and for the most excellent work done here in the past, will dem onstrate the great power of healing the crippled and those suffering from long standing ailments without the use of any medicine, at the above hall These lectures will be given every afternoon at 2:30. Everybody is invited to wit ness these wonderful cures made by the laying on of hands" Absolutely free and in sight of all No one need be so iirnid as to fail of being cured. These gentlemen have appeared before large audiences in Boston. Buffalo, Omaha, Detroit, Cleveland and other large cit ies. Forty people have been cured by them in g, day. Their treatment is pc. culiar. Some call it the gift of heal ing,' but whatever it may be, the sick are given it free. See the first days work and hear the talk, and you will be convinced.

Spring has come.
 It is time for all persons to think se- riously of their health.
 But that doesn't mean taking the first spring remedy that happens to be offered.
 Persons who make it their business to get the most effective remedy to be had are sure to carry home Paine's celery compound. No other remedy is capable of cleansing the blood nour- ishing the nerves and regulating the bowels and digestive organs like Paine's celery compound.
 If you are troubled at all by rheuma- tism, neuralgia, headaches or sleepless- ness, even if these attacks come only now and then, now is the time to pu- rify the system of them. Don't pro- crastinate and daily till frightened in- to doing something when you find the task of getting well has assumed des- perate proportions.
 Paine's celery compound will cure kidney trouble, heart palpitation and disordered liver accurately, intelligent ly and permanently when other reme- dies only raise hopes that are never fulfilled.
 Paines celery compound, which owes it's origin to the most distinguished physician and investigator this coun- try ever produced, Prof. Edward F. Phelps, M. D., ILL D. of Dartmouth college, has been publicly indorsed among medical experts as the only spring remedy in any sense entitled to that name.
 It can be said without fear of contra dictibn that no other remedy can truthfully refer to men and women so responsible, so trustworthy, so con- vincing, because of their straightfor- ward enthusiastic and easily verified
