Among the ProtectiOntsts.
The criticism of the cotton and
WOODEN schedule of the Dingley bill
by republican congressman Mccall and
Lowering. of Massachusetts, is but a
faint indication of the dissatisfaction
with this extreme measure among mod
crate pr~otectionists. Both these MEM
bs.rs pronounced the duties to be too
high-more than the manufacturers
needed or desired. Massachusetts,
| said Mr.. Lowering. wants o tariff that
will stand"
Certainly q worse-than-Mckinley
tariff, as il has been demonstrated that
the Dingley bill would be, will not
| stand. The Dingleyites appear to have
forgotten 1890 and 1892.
In replying to the criticisms OF his
own party colleagues Mr.. Dingley re
peated the old %sophiStry that the pro-
lection afforded is only such as is neces-
sary to equalize the labor conditions
in the United States and those prevail
ing in other producing countries.
Does Mr.. Dingley pretend to say that
there Is a difference Of so per cent. OF
the full value of the goods between the
labor cost here and abroad? Has be for
gotten that another Maine statesman
James G.. Blaine-certifed as secretary
CT state that the labor cost in American
cortons wa less then in goods made
in England? Is the total labor cos IN

When n tariff bill in two OF its most

HAVANA. April l5.-In view of the
approach of the rainy season Capt
Gen. Weyler has ordered the erection
of an infirmary on the trocha and the

New hospitals will be constructed un-
der the supervision of the sanitary in

In this way. says Gen. Weyler, the
regulars will not be exposed to the

What use is there in eating when food does you no good-in fact when it does you more harm than good, for such is the ease if it is not digested?
 If you have a loathing for food there is nos use of forcing it down, for it will not be digested. You must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength and cause the food to be digested. when an ap- petite will come, and with it relish for food.
 The tired. Ianguid feeling will giYe place to vigor and energy: then you will put flesh on your bones and be come stryng. The Shaker Digestive Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers contains food al- ready digested and is a digestef of foods as well. It's action is prompt and its effect permanent.
