According to Dun & Co., the business
conditions are gradually shaping them
selves about the same as they were in
1879, just previous to a remarkable adj
vance in business prosperity. This view
may be Of the roseate order, but II il based
ON facts and figures which the able re-
porter thinks justify 1t. 1t seems almost
incredible that the volume of business is
now larger than It was in 1S92-the year
of greatest prosperity-yet such Is the
verdict of Dun & Co. But the volume of
profits Is much smaller, making the vol
ume of prosperity correspondingly less.
"A very large share of the present volume
of business Is the importation of foreign
goods under free trade and low tariff
schedules. This harms rather than helps
American enterprises and the labor there
in employed, or which ought to be therein
employed. We may do a tremendous
business in flooding our markets with
foreign goods to the exclusion of the pro-
ducts of our own labor, but there is no
prosperity to our country In that kind of
business. Last months record of bust
ness failures Is decidedly encouraging,
showing, as It does, large decrease in
comparison with previous and correspond
ing months.-Detroit Journal Rep.).

The Frightening Outlook.

Democrat and anti-protectionist though
he is. Senator German is too good poll
tician and too shrewd business man to
maintain hopeless resistance to the Re
publican tariff bill. There is new hope in
this for every legitimate branch of bust
ness. 1t means that 1t will not be neces-
sary to wait until autumn to get taste
of better times. 1t means that the new
tariff will have longer period in which
to work out its results and vindicate itself
before being put to the test of congress
sional election. This prospect that the
new tariff will go into effect with the fiscal
year is a bad thing for Organism, but it
is good thing for the merchant, the man.

The business sentiment Is undoubtedly
stronger. There are many reasons for
hopefulness. Not the least important re-

Unmistakable siune.

There are unmistakable signs of re
turn Of prosperity in the iron and steel
manufacturing centers of the country, in
the opinion of the Cleveland Leader. All
around Pittsburg there has been re
sumption Of work in most of the mills and
factories, and the same reports come from
the Industrial cities of eastern Ohio and
western Pennsylvania. There was re-
vival Just after the election in November,
due in the main to restoration of conf
dence, but the people were not fully pre-
pared for complete return to CONNER
cial and Industrial activity. They had
felt the effects of the depression too long
to recover from 1t suddenly, and 1t was not
to be expected that building enterprises
which are the surest revivers of business,
would be undertaken at the beginning Of
winter. With the opening of spring 1t will
be different, however. Big projects which
have been delayed by the panic will now
be pushed as soon rs the weather permits
and before the first of April there is GER
tain to be distinct improvement in com
mercial and industrial conditions.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured
by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
A New Discovery, But Not Patent Med.
iciDe.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting &C
count Of what ne considers d remarkable
cue of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use OF the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered TO my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything ne ate SEEM
ed to sour and create acid and gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tisni il the back, shoulder blades ana
limbs, fullness and distress after eating,
poor appetite and loss OF flesh: the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sieeplessness a night.
/ gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an e3perim ent i finally bought a fifty
cent package of StUart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at a drug store and gave them 10
him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was 10 ali appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risln5s, no bloa ting after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gaine,i between 10 and y pounds in
weight in solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores,
yes l consider them most valuable ad-
uiLioh 10 any pnysicldh i4Ae VI ieiHe-
dies, as they are perfectly harmless and
can be given TO children or invaiids or
in any condition of the stomach with
perfec. safety, being harmless and con-
tanning nothing but vegetable and fruit
essences. pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton. b:liousness, constipation and all de-
of the stomach, however
slight OF severe.
Stuar;s Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co of Marshall Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

IN OLDEN TIMES

People overlooked the importance of per-

isfied with transient action; hut now that
it is generally known that Syrup of Figs
will permanently overcome habitual con-
stipation. well-informed people will not
buy other laXatives, which act for a
time, but finally iniure the system.
