Fever

And use nothing else. Use nothing elsa

There is always alarm in a family when
one of its members is stricken with fever
Days elapse before diagnosis can deter

Never mind what the type, never mind

Give only the Tonic, and give liberal doses

1t is unlike anything else You can't give
too much-too much can't hurt. A child
years old should take one-half teaspoon
full, but tablespoonful would not hurt.
and if the fever does not stop within
twelve hours, then double the dose. ANY
infant can take 1t, and every infant should
take it when sick with fever. This medl-

it is all-sufficient in itself
This medicine has made an enviable
record. 1t has made more cures, saved
more lives, and been more blessed by more
people than any medicine ever offered to

Mr.. A. B. Girafdeau, Savannah, Ga:
Dear Sir-In reply to yours of the 18th
inst, will say that l freely indOrse all
you or others have said or could ever say
about Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic.
Two months ago my father, who is 20
years old, was stricken down with bilious
fever, and came near dying. 1 began at
once with the Tonic, giving him a dose
every two hours. / called in our family
doctor and told him what ! was doing He
said it was the right treatment and adj
vised that l continue 1t. He called again
the next day and saw the effect of the
Tonic and gave nothing himself. Within
week my father was able to walk about
the house, l persuaded him to take
second bottle. and under its use he has
grown strong. Although S. years old on
the 24th of last June, he has to-day taken
a horseback ride of six miles unattended.

TILLMAN's LIKING FoR M,KrNLEY

Evidently Senator Tillman has a great
liking for the President. Twice recently
in the Senate he has spoken of him as a
kind-hearted gentleman. 1t is true that
he said that he was lacking In backbone.
Is 1t because that he lacks backbone that
the senior senator of South Carolina has
such high appreciation of him?
1t is worthy of notice that he never
speaks kindly of ex-President Cleveland.
He goes at him with his pitchfork. Is II
because Mr.. Cleveland has plenty of back
bone?
If the truth were known it would ap-
pear probably that Senator Tillman
has had occasion more than once
to know whether Mr.. Cleveland
had backbone or not. He does
not like to be thwarted. Mr. Cleveland
however, would not hesitate to thwart him
or any one else. 1t is certain that Sena.
tor Tillman has received nothing but
courteous treatment from President Nc
Kinley. But he cannot help telling the
country that the President is lacking in
backbone.

THE HoME-CoMING OF LEARY.

And so Capt. Leary, Richard p, of the
United States navy, governor of the happy
isle of Guam, is coming home at his own
request. little better than year in an
atmosphere of constant reform, without
an ice-making machine, is all that Capt
Leary feels that he ought to be called
upon to stand. And the department at
Washington agrees with him. Had the
government, sent the ice-making machine,
which Capt. Leary has asked for by every
mail leaving his island since his arrival
there, he might have been willing to cbn-
tinue at his post, despite the warmth of
the customs and the surroundings; but in
the absence of ice Capt. Leary rested upon
his rights and requested relief
1t must not be imagined for one mo-
ment however, that the. Captain is run
ming away from his duty. Far from 1t.
He will ever be remembered in the HIS
tory of Guam as a most devoted servant
of duty, and one of the greatest rapidA
fire reformers that ever came over the
bounding and billowy main. During his
short reign as high muck-a-muck of Guam
he has changed that pimple upon the face
of nature to beauty spot. When he first
set foot there he found the natives alb
solutely ignorant of any of the concomi-
tants of civilization except taxation. The
Spaniards had taught them to pay taxes,
and that was all. The beaux knew not the
delights of standing collars, and the bellies
had never seen a fashion plate. They wore
their fig leaves when the crop was ample,
but when blight came upon the trees
and the leaves were scarce it did not bother
them a bit. The natives, indeed, spent
sun and giving no thought whatever to
home life, or to the accumulation of the
goods of this world.
But Capt Leary changed all this. He
taught them the heretofore unsupported
advantages of matrimony and truck farm
ing He decreed that there must be mar
riage, homogeneous marriage and agri-
culture, in place of the lack of any system
or restraint that had been tolerated by the
Spaniards. He decreed also, by way of
celebrating the last recurring birthday of
Washington, that the system of peonage
or virtual slavery, by which one native
forced another to mind the flies off him
while he slept, or to hand him a drink of
water when he was thirsty, should cease.
This peonage," said Capt. Leary, lis SUBJ
versive of good government, is an obsta-
Gle in the way of progressive civilization
and a menace to popular liberty" There
fore it had TO go. 1t was obnoxious 90 the
constitution of the United States, of which
glorious union Guam is a part.
1t would be waste of space to detail
all of the reforms that Gov. Leary has
introduced into Guam during the past
twelve months. Suffice it to say that the
island has been redeemed from obscurity-
from being a semi-mythical place for
which ships were cleared whose inten-
lions would not bear close scrutiny-and
that it is now in a fair way of becoming
diminutive ocean paradise, with mar
riage, truck gardens and "all the COM
forts of home;''' provided the government
will send Capt. Lear's successor that ice
making machine.

A negro of the name of Crowder has
been having fun with some of the people
and newspapers of Chicago, and indirect
ly with some newspapers of other cities
also. He arrived in Chicago sew
eral days ago In box car.
and told a pitiful tale of how
he had run away from his master in Mis-
sissippi, and of the hardships he had en-
dured trying to get away to free state.
Slavery still existed in Mississippi he
said, and there were stil many slaves in
the nesghborhood of Grenada. He showed
scars which he said had resulted from
fioggings given him by the man to whom
he supposed he belonged. In Mississippi,
according to Crowder, there are many per-
sons who never heard of the emancipa-
ton proclamation. And the simple Chi
cagoans swallowed the story at one gulp,
and telegraphed' 1t to the Philadelphia
Press and other Northern papers, and they
printed it under sensational headlines. Is
it any wonder that 500 per cent. syndi-
Gates are able to flourish and that gold
brick men grow rich in the North?

EDMUNDs' ARGUMENT ron SUBSIDY.

The argument for the Hanna-Payne
ship subsidy bill which ex-senator Ed
munds has published over his signature,
is not likely to make many converts for
the bill Mr.. Edmunds makes a strong
argument, Of course. but in view OF the
fact that he is the attorney for indi-
viduals. companies and corporations that
desires legislation of some kind from
Congress, what he says will hardly be ac-
cepted as his opinion of the bill. but as
the brief of the attorney Of those who
hope to profit by 1t.
A point which Mr.. Edmunds makes Is
that It would be of vast benefit to this
country to do its own carrying trade.
That point will not be denied. The
commerce Of the United States ought to
be carried in ships owned by Americans
and. in fact. built in American shipyards
II is somewhat remarkable that It Is not
so carried
There is great deal of capital In this
country seeking Investment. The rate Of
interest is very low. Two per cent gov
ernmen bonds command premium. Why

A Pan-American Congress. for the pur-
pose of furthering trade relations between

Japan than they are In the trade
of our next-door neighbors 60 the

difficult to get them Interested in Central

is 1t that some OF this surplus capital is
not put into shipbuilding plants? 1t Is
claimed that ships cannot be built in this
country as cheaply as in Europe. Is 1t
not strange that they cannot! Let Sena-
tor Edmunds show why they cannot. Sen
ator Frye undertook to do so recently
but ii seemed TO US that his effort was
failure. Lately, we published from
the Philadelphia Ledger an extract from
an article in which it was asserted that
Mr.. Cramp, of the Cramp shipbuilding
firm in that city, had said, as long rs
eight years ago, that steamships couid
be built at his shipyard at about the same
cost as In the shipyards of Europe.
1t is fact that all the materials for
the building of modern steamships are
to be obtained in this country in abund-
ance. These materials ought to be cheap
err here than elsewhere in the world.
They would be If the profits on them
were not SO enormous Only lately it was
stated that the profits of the Carnegie
company would amount to $42,OOo'OOo this
year. is 1t such profits that the ship
builders are after?
The main reason that there is so much
opposition TO the HannaPayne ship sub
sidy bill is that the people are convinced
that ships can be built as cheaply IN this
country as in any other. Our loeomo-
tive builders compete successfully in the
markets of the world. In fact, they sup
ply the countries that do not build loco
motives. They have neither protection
nor subsidies. Our shipbuilders are pro-
tected, and now they want subsidies. Nat
urally the people object to being double
taxed for the benefit of shipbuilders and
ship owners.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record CDem) says:
THE Republican party, strive as it may
against the tide, must either abandon pro-
lection or abandon expansion. The two
policies are incompatible. In the endeavor
to reconcile individual greed with national
growth the party Is making itself the mock
of the world. II has apparently assumed
responsibilities which it is incapable of
rightfully discharging. 1t will have
stern settlement TO make when it shall
again appeal to the country for vote of
confidence"
The Charleston Post pays this very
graceful tribute to the city of Savannahs
According to all accounts, Savannah
gave a splendid reception to Admiral
Dewey and TO all the visitors who came

how to do these things In the real South

The Baltimore Sun (Dem) says: "A cor
respondent asks us what would happen
If gold should become ten times as abund-
ant as II is now. Would II not fall in
value and buy less cotton? Experience
does not enable US TO give sure answer.
A tenfold production of gold is unlikely,
and no one ought 70 be asked to base
vastly important practical decision on an
inference from an extravagant assump-
ton. Chopping logic is not business. But
so far as facts so to answer the question
the answer seems to show that increase
OF the volume of gold in world where
peoples wants are rapidly multiplying
would not lead them to give more OF 1t
for their cotton. The worlds production
of gold In 1886 was N06,16S9 900, and the
price of upland cotton in that year was
80 cents a pound. In 1899 the production
OF gold was over $So0,O0O,0Oo. or nearly
three times as great. yet cotton in that
year was but ga cents a pound. Though
the world had more gold in 1899, 1t was
not inclined to give as much for cotton
as Il gave in 1886. This year, on the other
hand while the production of gold is de-
creased by the closing of the Transvaal
mines, the price of cotton has nearly dou-
<bled. The fact is that the price OF mer-
chandise is fixed by the law of supply and
demand, and II is unsafe to follow the
cumulative theory of money into the
maze Of fallacies II creates"
