The power which public opinion
now exerts occupied an incidental par
agraph in a recent speech by Lord
Salisbury. Certainly two classes OF
deluded persons are those who care
rcthing for what people think and
those who are entirely swayed by what
people think. A man who refuses to
wear dress coat on occasions where
aress coats are in order prov0kes need
less criticism and wastes in a puny
war energy that might he better en-
ployed; whereas a man who, unable
to procure conventional evening attire,
should absent himself on that account
from gathering where he would be
welcome in afternoon dress, errs in
the opposite direction. Public opinion
is so powerful an element in life that
it behooyes the individuals Of society
to see to it that they contribute only
sane aad sound conclusions to the gen
eral resultant.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for 1t,

fectual Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurab BILE.
The usual symptoms are full or boat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show a Shiny, infiamed condition.
Pie cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous sur
faces of the stomach. To secure a
prompt and healthy digestion is the one
necessary thing to do, and when normal
digestion is secured the catarrhal condi-
ton will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet composed of diastase,
aseptic pepsin little nux, golden seal
be found at all drug stores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher of 271O Dearbon
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes "Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the lin
ing membrane Of the nose becomes in
famed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical

cure, but today am the happiest of men

sorry notes aggregating upwards OF 3d.

| "The democratic party is strong enough
/ In principles, If il proves true to the
| teachings of its great founder. 1t is the
| mission of the democratic party to crys-
tallize into legislation the principles
which he taught.
THE party applies democratic princi-
pies to the issues which arise from time
to time. For many years the tariff
question was the paramount issue, and
| the party took a more advanced position
each year until 1892, when it declared
| itself in favor of a policy which meant
substantially tariff for revenue only.
But the president elected at that time,
| instead of proceeding to carry out that
portion of the platform, forced upon the
public attention an issue which had, up
to that time, been considered secondary.
"Mr. Cleveland, more than any other
one person in this nation, is responsible
for the prominent position which money
now occupies. 1t was his determination
to complete the decentralization of silver
and make the gold standard perpetual
that aroused the masses of the United
States to active resistance. The struggle
for supremacy between the gold standard
and bimetallism was recognized as CON
test between the money power and the
common people.
"The explicit declaration in favor of
free and unlimited coinage at 16 to ],
without waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation, was made necessary by
the attempt of certain public men to
evadc preceding platforms. The party
struggle eliminated in the platform of the
Chicago convention. The party was
placed in the position where it was com
PEELED to endorse the financial policy of
the president or adopt the doctrines and

which that platform has aroused, and
you will realize the impossibilty Of TAX

True, the present administration is
seeking to turn public attention to the
tariff question, but if our reasoning is
well founded an increase OF taxes can not
restore prosperity to the producers of
wealth. If the Dingley bill brings gener-
nj and permanent prosperity the demo-
cratic party will not be in position to
win contest by opposing it. If it fails
to fulfill the claims of it's advocates our
position of 1896 will be strengthened and
public attention will be riveted on the
fact that the cause of the financial depres-

the guest of honor. Senators, repre-
