A Great English Statesman's
Secret.

The secret Of a celebrated Eng
fish statesman's long life was his
systematic way Of eating. Every
bite Of food was chewed thirty
times before swallowing. The re-
suit was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women
bolt their food, and eat things
which were never intended to be
eaten. They become costive, have
a bad complexion, lose flesh, are
irritable and nervous, and the first
thing they know they are ''played
out" 1t is gratifying to know
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
cures stomach troubles. It is a
purely vegetable medicine that has
stood the test Of many years. It
cures cases which seem to be hope
less. Sufferers from any disorder
Of stomach, liver or bowels should
try it,

FRIDAY, OCTOBER q, 1889.
A MERCHANT MARINE.

The time was when the products
Of the American farm, factory and
shop we're freighted to foreign
markets by American built ships.
The civil war came and our mer-
chant vessels were swept from the
ocean. Since that time our car
rying trade has been on foreign
vessels and under foreign flags.
Today 90 per cent of our exports
go from our 81 ores on foreign
bottoms and a like proportion of
our imports are brought here in
the same way. It is hoped that at
the coming session Of congress leg
islation will be adopted to aid in
restoring the United States to it's
proper place on the high seas.
The time has come when we must
build up a strong merchant marine
American goods and farm prod
ucts should be carried to foreign
markets on American vessels float
ing Old Glory, manned by Ameri-
can seamen, and the products and
fabrics Of other nations brought
to our shores in the same vessels.
The complete restoration Of Amer
lean commerce is what is now de-
manded. The country looks to
the Republican party to accom-
plish this work. It will not be
disappointed. The carrying trade
of the world is within our grasp.
1t is our duty to reach out and lay
hold Of it. Everything should be
done to foster and encourage
American ship-building, to the
end that we can do our own car
rying on the ocean and control a
goodly portion Of the ocean traffic
Of other lands. OF course when
ever an attempt is made to put
through legislation in favor of
American commerce, a howl will
go up from England, but we are
not legislating for England nor
for any other foreign nation.

CUBA.

Under American military rule
Cuba is being deodorized. The
accumulated filth and stenches of
four centuries of Spanish mis-rule
and mismanagement, are being
eliminated. The death rate has
been greatly reduced, and all who
have survived Weyler's savage, in
human and brutal reconcentrado
policy have a chance>to live. Vel
low fever is no longer the terror
that it once was in the island of
Cuba. This means a great deal
not only to that island but to the
people of the United States, for
Cuba has for hundreds of years
been the home Of the yellow
scourge. It has many times been
brought from there to spread death
through the southern half of our
country. American rule in Cuba
is a blessing to the world. The
work of reform and improvement
will go on until Cuba becomes a
veritable garden of paradise-what
God intended it to be-and what
it would have been for the last
four hundred years, but for Span
ish stupidity, bigotry, tyranny and
rapacity. The revenues of Cuba,
which are boundless, will now be
thoroughly developed and the
"Queen of the Antilles" will be
the dwelling place of millions Of
happy, prosperous human beings

less renowned than war" Expan.
