HEALTH RESTORED.
A Chronic Invalid Liberated From
the Thralldom of Disease.

The following letter, in the words of
the author of it, tells very important
story: Mrs. T. V. Stewart, of Mount
Calm, Ala, writes 1.-TWO years ago l
wrote to DR.. Hartman concerning my
health, which had been wretChed for
long while, and was growing worse rapid
ly. l could not eat everything seemed
to aggravate the heart, even a drink Of
water /, of course, had medical treat
ment and tried good many patent medi-
Cines; all did no good. l was fearful
that would lose the use of my left arm;
I had such pain from my breast down
the arm. had cold sweats that would
come on any time. DR.. Hartman pre-
scribed Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin and the
first two or three doses ofPe-ru.na was a
great benefit. l slept better that night
and began to mend right away. think
l would have been in my grave but for
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. My friends all
seemed surprised to see me looking so
we'll. advise all who are ailing to try
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin and have induced
a great many, and they say it is a good
medicine; but they can not so fully
realize how good it is, not having been
so near deaths door as myself"

month. This beneficial influence upon
business and trade" was credited by the
tariffites to the Mckinley law, but Mr..
Hsrrison did not think so. Grover
Cleveland, Sherman & Co. repealed this
Sherman silver law in 1893, thus drying
up business and giving the country
hard times which continue.

The straits to which American ship.
ping has fallen are to be easily seen by
the inability to secure an American ves-
sci in which the grain to be sent by this
country to India can be shipped, 30 that
it will probably be necessary to secure a
modification of the enactment of Con-
gress in order to secure the shipment
of the food tor the starving indians. 1t
is startling anomaly that country so
rich, so powerful, which ships so many
millions in products, can not find ship
sailing under the American flag, which il
can charter for the purpose. The Re.
publican party is pledged to do all in its
power for the revival of our merchant
Beacon.
"Pledgedl" The sham Republican
party has been 80 pledging and promis-
ing for years and years, and all this
time under their fraud protection our
merchant marine has been dwindling.
Before the late war, under Democracy
and revenue tariff on the ad valorem
principle with duties ranging about
twenty per cent, our marine nearly
equalled that OF Great Britain in ton
mage, while now it is only about one
third.

Mr.. T. e. Wardner, the well known
Boston editor and publisher, was in
Washington this week, comforting with
prominent silver men in congress. He
reports silver sentiment in New England
greatly on the increase, owing to the
eyes of merchants and manufacturers
having been opened by continued fall
in prices, and said: "Ihe silver fealing
in the large towns, always strong, is in
creasing rapidly and will make itself felt
in the next congressional campaign.
Skilled labor is more than ever in favor
Of silver. The shoemakers of Lynn, Hav-
erhill and other places are almost to a
man bimetallists. The Typographical
Union is nine-tsnths for silver. There
will be at least six silver congressman in
the next Massachusetts delegation, and
tue chances are pretty good that the next
legislature will contain a silver ma
jority. l sincerely and honestly believe
that if Massachusetts we're to vote TO-
morrow she would cast her lot on the
side of bimet Allism as against the gold
st andard" Many business men, Mr..
Wardner said, had given up hope Of
any relief through the tariff bill.

An inheritance tax bill recently passed
by the General Assembly of New York,
by nearly a unanimous vote, has been
vetoed by Governor Black, and the AS
sembly having adjourned cannot have
chance to pass 1t over the veto. The main
object Of the bill was to reach tax dodgers
after their death by taking slice off
their estates. Controller Roberts Of New
York, in recent "Forum" article,
shows by official statistics that the total
amount of personally in 107 selected es-
tltss, which after death summed up
$215, 1872, 1877, was assessed during the
life time Of the owners at $3.50, 4le, only
/ n per cent of actual value. OF these,
thirty -four, ranging from $54,55 to
SO, 3l9, 800 lad been assessed at nothing
"Why not, +" he goes on to say, "levy an
inheritance tax, which shall be approx
mstely payment of back taxes, evaded
or not imposed during lifep" The bill
the governor has vetoed on the most
flimsy grounds was intended to reform
this gross abuse. II remains live issue,
however, aud the people will veto the
vetoiDg governor.

1t seems it vas to Benjamin Harrison
that the passage of the Sherman silver
act was mainly due in 1890.
He thought it far more important than
the Mckinley tariff law, and so said in
his message in December after, as the
following extract will show:
"The increased circulation secured by
the act has exerted and will continue to
exert most beneficial influence upon
BUSINESS and upon trade. The enlarge
ment of our currency by the silver bill
undoubtedly gave an upward tendency
to trade, and had marked effect on
prices. But this natural and desired
effect OF the silver legislation was by
many erroneously attributed to the new
tariff act"
Prior to this act the silver coinage
was two millions month and by this
sherman Law II was Ave million dollsrss

"sAvE ME FROM MY FRIENDS"

We are sorry to see that Professor f..
BENJAMIN Andrews. OF Brown University,
in an address before the Illinois State
Teachers Association. urged the free text
book system. and also advocated free
lunches in the public schools.
The Times is a good friend TO the public
school system, believing 1t to be worth
10 the people at large far more than 1t
costs. and The Times will always do what
st can TO promote lhe cause Of popular
education. But the friendship of The
Times for the system is tempered by
reason, and we would that such were the
case with all the friends Of that cause
The suggestion of Professor Andrews, and
ail such suggestions. while well meant
are in fact. mischievous and dangerous.
There are large Numbers Of taxpayers
who hold that il is wrong TO tax one man
30 educate another mans children. and it
IS only a little while ago that the Rev
sam Jones made bold this assertion. AMI
dehantly declared his opposition. These
opponents do not say much, and Mr. Jones
Is one of the Jew who have thus publicly
expressed themselves. but the fdct
that they do not talk does not
nlter the fact that they exist
There are others who are willing that
tuition shall be given free to the children
of the land but they hold that there is
q limit beyoLd which the instruction
-, -.. go ,rl,o,, ora ,x-fIlinp chat the
children should have a common school
education. but they are opposed TO teach
ing the higher branches, and they resent
every new innovation.
Men like Professor Andrews believe that
education should he free. that children
should be compelled by law 10 attend
rchool. that the government should supply
the children with books. and as is now
proposed. even with food. 1t is possible
that II this sort of thing goes on, the
time will not be long before there VIII
he those TO advocate a system by which
the government will take entire control
Of the children OF the land, giving them
not only free tuition, but food and raiment
and shelter. and when that is done, we
rnai have paternalism perfected and
American liberty and manhood will be but
name.
The Times Is 40 alarmist and we con-
Tess thoi We have presented the extreme
yidcs Of this subject. Bat we do say and
We say II in the interest of popular edu-
ration. that It's best friends are those who
would keep The system within bounds not
those who would carry II 20 such extremes
as TO make IT odious TO the taxpayers.
