DIngley Act Praised.

Not satisfied with assaulting the currency
and credit of the government, our political
adversaries condemn the tariff law enacted
known as the Dingley act, passed in ODE
dience to the will of the people expressed
at the election in the preceding November,
a law which at once stimulates our indus
tries, opened the idle factories and mines
and gave to the laborer and to the farmers
fair returns for their toll and investment.
Shall we go back to the tariff which brings
deficiency in our revenues and destruction
10 our industrial enterprises?

The gold standard has been reafirmed
and strengthened. The endless chain has
been broken and the drain upon our gold
reserve no longer frets US. The credit of
the country has been advanced to the high
est place among all nations. We are re-
funding our bonded debt bearing three and
four and five per cent interest at two per
cent, q lower rate than that Of any other
country, and already more than three hun
bred millions have been funded, with a
gain to the government of many millions
Of dollars. Instead Of IL to l, for which
our opponents contended four years, legs.
lation has been enacted which, while utll-
izing all forms Of our money, secures one
fixed value for every dollar and that the
best known to the civilized world.
Property at Home, Prestige Abroad.
The tariff which protects American la
Dor and industry and provides ample rev.
enues has been written in public law. We
have lower interest and higher wages /;
more money and fewer mortgages. The
worlds markets have been opened to
American products, which 60 now where
they have never gone before. We have
passed from a bond issuing 10 a bond-pay-
ing nation; from a nation Of borrowers TO
a nation of lenders; from a deficiency in
revenue to a surplus from fear to conf
dence; from enforced idleness to profitable
employment The public faith has been
upheld; public order has been maintained
We have prosperity at home and prestige
abroad.
Enemies OF sound Currency sun Active.
Unfortunately the threat Of 1896 has just
been renewed by the allied parties without
abatement or modification. The gold bill
has been denounced and its repeal demand
ed The menace Of IL 10 l. therefore,
still hangs over us with all its dire conse-
quences to credit and confidence, TO BUSH
ness and industry. The enemies Of sound
currency are rallying theirscattered forces.
The people must once more unite and over
come the advocate OF population and must
not relax their energy until the battle for
public honor and honest money shall again
triumph.
A Congress which will sustain, and, il
need be, strengthen the present law, can
prevent a financial catastrophe which every
lover of the republic is interested to avert.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed yOu have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrb, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 81. - Circuit
Judge West entertains strict ideas in
regard to divorce, and in refusing to
grant decree he filed an opinion
which gives notice that good grounds
for separation must be shown before
a decree will be granted. In the case
In question Robert Spinks asked for
a divorce on the grounds of desertion.
The defendant did not appear at the
hearing. The parties separated in the
fall Of 1895. They had not lived hap
PLY. and by consent separated and
divided their household effects. The
complainant testified that heconsented
to his wife leaving, and had not made
any effort since to renew the marital
relations.
"a Divorce by Consent Doesn't CO."
"This Is not desertion within the
meaning Of the statute" says Judge
West. 1.-The law requires something
more than mere living apart for two
years. The law prohibits divorce by
consent of the parties, but how far re-
moved from such consent in this case
If desertion may be based upon a
separation by consent? If this Is to be
called desertion then any husband and
wife, whenever tired of one another,
may consent to live apart, and at the
end of two years it is to be considered
as desertlon, and they may bedivorced.
The marriage relations may not be
laid aside by will of the parties. The
law requires some preliminaries before
the marriage can be performed and
also few preliminaries before it can
be dissolved.
Collision Barre by thed Law.
''The fact that defendant does not
appear at the hearing does not dis
pense with proof, but only requires 1t
the more, in order that the court may
understand there Is no collision be-
tween the parties. Desertion cannot
exist where the parties desire to break
I'D the home and sever the marital
relations, and it can only exist where
one party tries to maintain the rela-
lions and the other will not"
