The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on.the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease. and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

The Republican party has much to
lose by the exchange of Cleveland for
Mckinley. Mr.. Mckinley will doubt
less do his best for the party, but the
experience of Cleveland in his twelve
wears service for it, enables him to
serve the party surer and faster, than
Mr.. Mckinley, or any other novice
could possibly do.

1t is laughable, we are told, to see
how Gov. Bushnell of Ohio, took water
on his proposition to appoint jones
instead of Hanna to the Senate in the
room and stead of Mr.. Sherman. We
sympathise with the governor. In the
absence of other things water is some
times taken by governor, but not the
Governor of North Carolina nor the
Governor of South Carolina, but only
the Governor of Ohio.

A Setback for Protection.

1t is severe blow to protection to
see over 100, 900 tons of steel rails sold
to foreign purchasers within the last
fortnight. England has bought of us,
why? because the rails are cheaper
than she can make them. Germany
has bought of us for the same reason,
and it was from these two great ma
tions that the protectionist has been
begging that the arm of the law inter
pose and spare him, that our laborers
might not be reduced to the level of
the pauper labor Of these European
countries, and that the government
might have sufficient revenue to pay
its ordinary expenses.
What do we now behold? Our stuffs
pouring into those markets, for steel
rails is not the only product OF our
mills that is today finding a ready
market in Europe. Great orders, we
are told, have been reported for pig
iron, for coke, for lumber, for calicoes,
for cotton, for wooden goods, and beef,
and wheat have been going into those
countries for months past. Not be-
cause Mckinley was elected have these
demands come, because Mckinley
hardly caused the failure of crops in
Europe or the famine in India; not
because Mckinley broke the steel
rail trust. and lowered the price OF
rails below European possibilities OF
production, Mckinley has always
proven true to every trust; not because
Mckinley brought about the war be
tween Greece and Turkey, and thus
caused demand for pig iron for shells
and other munitions of war, or for
coke to help warlike preparations.
Hardly that: but because these things
have come to pass at this particular
time. and are having a considerable
effect on financial conditions. But
Mckinley must hurry and pass the
tariff bill in order that those people
who never saw happy moment except
when we were grooming under a tariff
tax of enormous weight, can give it
some credit for the change. if business
should be accelerated by the crushing
of trusts, and warlike feeling beyond
the Atlantic. It would be a woeful
set back to profession if prosperity
should beat it here.
