Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1898-12-01

Should there be an extra session of
congress to legislate OH the money
question? This Is now the problem
discussed by republican and sound
money people. We doubt that there
should be. An extra session is surely
not justitiable except in emergencies,
and what emergency exists now? 1t
is true the republican party is pledged
to maintenance of the gold standar d
and to an enc ctment of this principle
in law, but few months delay in this
matter will surely not bring harm, for
what is the matter with the money
now that a republican administration
is conducting the government bust
ness? Our money is all as good as
gold, and there is enough of it, more
per capita than ever before, and the
gold reserve in the treasury is upwards
of $2O0,O0O,00O and more gold is coming
to this country than is going from it.
1t doesn't look like very great emer-
gency is staring us in the face, There
are some details of proposed financial
legislation the republicans are not
agreed on any way, such as the retire
ment of greenbacks when the sale OF
bonds will have to be resorted to If
they are retired, and until there is
more unity of purp ose it might be q
good deal better not to have an extra
session on hands to provide legislation
for political effect only. 1t might have
the wrong Q fleet.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys.
when urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney troubles. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp root, the great kidney remedy
fulfls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it. or bad ef-
fects following the use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleas-
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nat. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists,
price fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have sample bottle and PAM
phlet both sent free by mail, upon re-
ceipt of three 2-cent stamps to cover

Our Increasing Foreign Trade.

The statistics of foreign trade, re-
Gently issued by the Treasury, shows
a truly remarkable increase over the
preceding year. The exports reached
the great total of 81, O99, ,l29, ,5l9 an in
crease of some $93, 100000 over those
OF the year before. The imports were
valued at $742,63O,S55 an increase of
some $61, 100000 over those of th e
year 1896. The excess of the exports
over the imports was $3.50, ,498, 1854, an
increase OF $32, ,2OO,O over the excess
of the previous year. The figures OF
the exports and imports of gold col n
and bullion show decrease, the ex-
ports being $34 4,174,172, a decrease of
some $z3, 100000 over the year 1896,
and the imports being valued at $685.
O79, $40, decrease of no less than $73-
100000 for the year.
1t is noteworthy that the figures for
December are considerably higher than
the average monthly figures for the
year, showing that the growth of the
foreign trade is steady and likely to
continue under existing conditions.
The value of the December exports
was $124, Ala, ,435 and of the imports
SOL ,524733, an increase of the exports
of 81 10000 compared with the fig
ures for 1896. The excess of the ex-
ports over the imports for the month
was $73, ,9O0,0 900, as against an excess
of $5S, 100000 in a comparison OF De-
cember of last year with the same
month in 1898.
In this connection the figures OF
British foreign trade for 1897 will be
of interest. The total value of exports
was ST, ,15O,OOO,OO0 decrease of $685.
500, 900 On the preceding year and the
imports reached the enormous total
of $2,O2O,OoO,OO0, an increase OF $46,-
100000. The decrease in exports are
attributed to forelgn tariff restrictions
particularly those of this country, and
to the engineering dispute referred to

geSt1On and diSordered liver
mean that 1nan sighting the first round
with death. Unless he manages to strike
the Knockout blow, it means that death
will come up in the second rortfiI in the
gulse of some serious malady. When a
mans stomach is weak and his digestion
is impaired, the life giving elements of the
food he takes are not aSsimilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowly starves In the meantime
the dlSordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
nutriment, it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this system of starva
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first. If
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton. If he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis,
asthma or some disease of the air-passages.
If he has naturally sluggish liver he will
suffer from a serious bilious or 1nalarial at

Comparison Of Naval Strength,

The United States has nine battle
ships of the first-class. Spain has one,
On her nine ships, this country has
I36 heavy guns and 297 second battery
guns. These nine first-class battle
ships have an average tonnage of some
thing over IL 600. The destruction of
the Maine in Havana harbor leaves
this country with only one second
class fighting ship. That is the Texas.
In coast defence seagoing vessels the
United States is strong. Spain has
no vessels at all of this kind. Spain
outnumbered the United States in the
number of torpedo boats. ohrt,. taking
it all in all, the American navy is very
much stronger than that of Spain.
Here is a table which shows perciselv
the comparative strength of the two
countries;

The Forestry Reserve.

1t is not impossible that something
may yet be done to stay the final con
firmation of the giant forestry reserve
on the Olympic peninsula. Tho fna
clause of the act of June 4, 1897, gives
rise to the hope that the presiden
may. yet be prevailed upon to act il
behalf of the people of this section
and it clearly confers on the executive
that power, for it reads: "The Presi
dent is hereby authorized at any time
to modify any executive order that
has been or may hereafter be made es-
tablishing any forest reserve, and by
such modification may reduce the
area or change the boundary lines Of
such reserve or may vacate altogether
any order creating such country"
That there Is need OF such action on
behalf of the Olympic peninsula was
clearly set forth in these columns yes
terday by quotation from Register
Deckebach and figures produced by
that gentleman.
He has since been fur ther investiga-
ting the subject and finds that in Clal-
lam county there are "a townships of
surveyed land, or all or in part survey
ed, and much of this land has been
taken by settlers. In Jefferson are
nine or more townships of surveyed
land, in Chehalis seven or more, Ma
son four or more, the greater part of
which lands are embraced within the
boundaries of the reservation. Up to
June 80, 1897, there had been survey
ed an area of 294,130 acres in these
four counties, since which time con-
siderable areas have been added to the
surveyed domain, swelling the total to
100000 acres or more All of this land
suffers through the forestry reserve by
which it is surrounded, for the reason
that though the land itself is not
wrested from the settler, it is rendered
more or less valueless through the iso-
latiOn that the reserve entails. 1t
makes impracticable the construction
of railroad that would afford the set
tiers west of the mountains. for in
stance, an outlet, for the only feasible
route for road connecting Grays har-
Dor with the west of the Olymplcs, and
the straits of Fuca, would be through
the timbered belt back from the Pacif-
ic ocean, and that is embraced within
the reserve. The timber would not
be available for freight, hence road
through that country would be wholly
imprac if the reserve stands
without modification. This will rem
der those western lands practically
valueless, for they are isolated, and
other advantages of civilization and
under the present order of things such
advantages cannot be provided, for the
reason that the taxable property would
not sustain them for years to come,
nor would the settlement justify them
Localities isolated as are those of the
western slope of the Olympic range
through this obnoxious order, are moi
habitable in this age of universal edu
cation. .-Olympian.

High-BOrn DANES Carry Their Own
Bedding on Their Travels.


Bedding on Their Travels.
Few royal folks when travelling re-
quire their bedsteads and bedroom fur
nlture to form portion of their lug
gage, as the queen does, for instance.
But many great ladies there are who
carry their own beds and bed linen,
blankets and quilts, and always a
macintosh sheet to spread over the
mattress to guard against dampness for
lack of sufficient airing in transit
from place to place. Grand Duke Paul
OF Russia, it is true, is always,
when travelling, accompanied by bed
stead, which he has had built in sec
tions, and which is put up by special
mechanic, under the superintendent of
the royal valet, wherever the grand
duke goes, but then it is simply because
he can seldom, owing to his great
height, meet with one long enough for
his comfort, says the Philadelphia Press.
1T does not appear to be generally
known that among the servants of the
queen are two bearing the title of her
majesty's tapissiers. One of them fol-
lows the court wherever it may be,
and the other remains permanently at
Windsor. The duty of these function
aries is to superintend the packing of
the queens baggage when the court
migrates, and their work is so perfectly
organized that every member of the
establishment concerned knows almost
to q minute when he or she must be
ready to receive a visit from the packer.
It is also the duty of the tapissiers to
maintain communication from palace to
palace with reference to all matters
which cannot be brought within the
limits of the royal mail boxes; to know
by heart all railway and steamship
routes, and to be able to convey any
desired article from one place to an
other by the swiftest and safest method.
