What a Dollar VIII Do.

A dollar will buy a bottle of Peruna.
A bottle of Peruna will cleanse the
system of the impurities accumulated
during the winter. A clean system is
able to resist the untoward influences
of spring. This averts the probability
of sickness or inefficiency. Thousands
of dollars in doctors bills and lost
time may be saved by one dollar spent
in this way. "A stitch in time saves
nine" Do not wait TO get sick. Be-
gin in time to prevent a spell of sick
ness.
Address The Peruna Medicine Co,
Columbus, O.. for a free book on the
catarrhal arrangements of spring.

What Is q Tonic +?

What Is Tonic ?
A tonic is any remedy that invigor-
ates the nervous spstem. A weakened
nerve either needs more rest or more
nutrition. A true tonic accomplishes
both these ends. 1t procures more rest
by removing all irritation, and it in
creases nutrition by regulating the di-
gestive organs. This is why Peruna is
to be classed as a tonic.
Spring Lassitnde.
Why is nervousness more frequent
in the spring? Why do the people feel
languid, tired and depressed as hot
weather approaches? Because the in
vigoration of winter weather has acted
as a stimulus to the nervous system.
In spring this is gradually removed.
1t puts a severe strain on the human
system to adjust itself to the climatic
change from winter to summer. Many
diseases are acquired at this season of
the year. Peruna is indispensable to
tide the nervous system over this un-
usual strain. No one should neglect to
take a short course of Peruna during
the spring. 1t will fortify the system
against the depressing influences of
hot weather. Buy a bottle today and
commence.

Winter Leaves Its Effects.

The climate of winter has produced
more or less catarrhal irritation of the
various mucous membranes of the
body. This unfits a person for busi-
ness or pleasure. Peruna strikes at
the root Of this condition by producing
a clean strong, healthy mucous mem
brane. Peruna cures nervousness and
lassitude by cleansing the mucous
membranes of the whole body. Clean
mucous membranes make good sleep
possible, normal digestion and regu-
lar fupctions

The Times Tribune published yester-
day record Of business changes in Nor
folk during the past year, 1t is noted
that while there were seventeen new
business enterprises established, there
were but nine closed out and but one or
two of these might be accounted as
failures, the large portion of them hay-
ing removed to new locations. There
were l3 business changes, proper, where
all or part of the business was sold to
new purchasers and is being contin-

few years ago. The Times Tribune has
the thanks of people who admire con-
sistency in thus presenting such mag
uificent tribute to improved business
conditions. That it is not satisfied vii

will insist that the people should desire
change, but then it is perhaps only

waive all difference and meet on equal
terms. Mr.. Clark proposes as one of
the issues of debate, THAT William j..
Bryan, instead of being the greatest
American christian statesman as you
said in speech made in Bohanan's S hall
four years ago, is what I then said he
was, one of the greatest political frauds
that ever figured in this country, or any
other, and to which | now add, that
he is politically or as statesman, an
ignoramus and snob." Mr.. Clark puts
the question in pretty strong language
which would not be tolerated for q
moment from republican, but as he is a
fellow citizen and of the same political
faith to.which Mr.. Bryan processes, his
views will probably be met with some
degree of tolerance by the fusionists.
1t is certain that Mr.. Bryan's severest
critics are or were members of one of
the two parties TO the fusion deal, NO
one being more severe than J. Sterling
Morton who was honored with the posi-.
ton of secretary of agriculture under

The democrats are having quite spell
because Roosevelt said that "the demo-
Gratis stand for cowardly shrinking
from duty abroad" They quote the
names of Dewey, Schley, Lawton and
Wheeler to disprove the assertion and
it does disprove it as far as these gentle
men are concerned. Not one of them
but that stands or stood for Mckinley S
expansion policy. Not one of them to
say pull down the flag" But they had
no sayso in constructing the Kansas
City platform and it is very much
doubted if any of them stand on it or
will support the Kansas City ticket.
Governor Roosevelt is safe in judging
the party by its platform and not by the
acts or convictions of a few who call
themselves democrats. 1t would be just
as appropriate for the republicans to
dodge the expansion issue by referring
their critics to Hoar, Pettigrew and
others, to prove that they are not expan
siouists. 1t will not ofor the democrats
to evade their policy by pointing to those
who do not concur in it,
The Norfolk weekly news., 1900-08-09

There is now no question but that
sentiment in favor OF the republican
ticket and republican policies is IN the
lead and care should be taken that it is
kept so. Strong and vigorous clubs
should be organized and prepared to
meet the fusionists at every turn. Dis
cretion should also be used in method of
campaign so that those who have come
over to the right side may have no ex.
cuse for changing their opinion. Tact
is of great Importance to campaigners
and should be abundantly used. There
is no question but that if election was
to be held tomorrow there would be
republican victory all along the line
Members of that party should not allow
a change of this condition.

ImperialiSm in 1868.

The DEBORAH, Iowa, Republican has
the utterances of the Kansas City con.
vention and the one held by the same
party in 1868, just after the close of the
civil war; History repeats itself" and
unfortunately for the democratic party
it has the failing attributed to history.
That it is bad habit, espe, lily for
parties, is not to be denied as it has
frequently led to disastrous blunders.
The following is the Republicans review
of the situation in 1868:
"Pendleton of Ohio had converted a
large body Of democracy's followers
into craze for cheap money in the
form of an unlimited issue of green
backs. 1t mattered not that when the
greenbacks were first issued as war
necessity the copperhead end of the
democratic party rose up en- masse and
cried unconstitutional The green
back cry was catchy one and Pendle-
ton rode it as Bryan has since ridden
free silver, because it appeared to be
popular, and a winner.
1.-The national nominating conven-
tion of that year barely escaped making
Pendleton and his fallacy the sole issue
of the campaign by nominating Horatio
Seymour against his very pronounced
refusal to accept. Then it was that
while placing the greenback fallacy
into the platform the effort was to make
another paramount issue by setting
up the bogy man of military despotism.
More than half Of the platform was
devoted to a cry of alarm, amounting to
wall, at the unparalleled tyranny a I'd
oppression that had marked the career
of the radical party 1t was charged
that it had
subjected ten states, in time of pro-
found peace, to military despotism and
negro supremacy.
1t has converted the American capitol
into bastile.
Under its repeated assaults the pillars
of the government are rocking in their
base, and, should it succeed in Novem.
ber next, and inaugurate its president
we will meet as a subject and conquered
people, amid the ruins of liberty and
the scattered fragments Of the constitu
tion.
"It was also declared as the solemn
opinion of the democratic party that thu
act of the radical party
if sanctioned by the people, will sub
vert our form of government, and car
only end in single centralized and
consolidated government in which the
separate existence of the states will bt
entirely absorbed and an unqualified
military despotism be established il
place of federal union of co equal states
"In spite of all this tremendous dan
ger Grant was elected the country
went on its way in reconstructlng th
rebellion states the peril of cheap none,
was avoided; the fear of military
despotism faded out in the face o
Grant declaration Let us have peace
and the country began the career which
has since made US the greatest republic
of the world. The pessimistic nonsens
about militarism and Imperialism ha
just the reality and no more that thes
fears of an unqualified military despot
ism possessed in 1868"

Ex-Governor Boyd.

James +. Boyd, the only democrat
ever elected governor of Nebraska, is an
other who refuses to support Bryan in
his endeavor to frighten the people and
thereby be chosen as their president.
While he may not vote for Mckinley,
he will not vote for Bryan. In an inter.
view with the Omaha Bee, among other
things Mr.. Boyd said:
with America Imperialism is i'm.
possible. We have been acquiring terri
tory ever since the government was
founded, yet this is not an empire. To
say that new territory added from time
to time will be followed by the acclama-
ton of an emperor to rule over us is alb.
surd. Bryan may deceive some of the
people by his far.fetched cry of imper.
ialism, but the scare will not of long
duration.
1.-The greatest mistake Bryan ever
made was to require the Kansas City
convention to reiterate the l6 to silver
free coinage plank. He emphasized il
beyond all others, thus doing what the
republicans would have him do. 1t will
cause Bryan defeat under heavier ma
jorities than were given four years ago
1t was sheer idiocy. Money was never
so plentiful and the interest rate never
so low. Prices of farm products were
never better, and the producers are get
ting gold money for their products
Prosperity, everywhere in evidence, can
not be talked down. 1t may not be du'
to Mckinley, but it is possible under th'
policy for which Mckinley stands"

The fusionists are not endeavoring to
deny that the Mckinley administration
has been all right for the people of the

be that people of other lands may be

of the United States. They are most
