g. The charges upon the product for freight
and drayage owing to shipment in small
amounts is serious burden in excess of the
10 per cent brokerage, and added to this is the
careless loss of boxes which should be re-
turned to the shipper.
4. The work of selling is now so compli-
Gated and conducted by such a multitude or
brokerage firms that it may perhaps be doubled
If these men afford to do the work at
much less than the present rate, and to main
tain this, which they say is but living rate,
they have determined to cooperate and are
doing so most effectively.
Your committee therefore sees no way by
which these evils can be remedied except by
the cooperation of growers who ship to these
coast markets. They alone must control both
the distribution and sale of their products or
suffer the present evils.
To this end we recommend
/. That the growers form local associations
in their several localities for taking charge of
the assembling and shipment of produce de-
signed for coast markets, to control as cheaply
as possible the total output at such places
2. That these several local associations elect
representatives who shall form central or
ganizations to make such ARRANGEMENTS for

ducer may require.

BOLDLY SCORES
FRENCH BUDGET
Deputy Ribot Declares
That Proposed Bill
Is Misleading.
Says That the Government
Owes the Country the
Whole Truth.

PARIS, Dec. 5.-The last three sittings
Of the Chamber of Deputies have been de-
voted to a consideration Of the budget.
The discussions on the whole were unin-
teresting until to-day, when Alexandra
Ribet Republican, made a slashing criti-
cjsm of the bill.
NJ Ribot argued that he present budget
was higher by 259, 600, 900 francs than that
of 1855; that all the nations of Europe
were reducing expenses, and that France
must initiate their people, as she cannot
risk committing further faults. The only
way to assure the moral and material
strength of the nation, argued NJ Ribot,
is 10 prevent the expenditures from excit-
ing riots. NJ. Ribot criticized the attempts
20 effect economy by abolishing the sugar
bounties and the appropriations for public
worship. He declared that most of the
economies proposed were more fictitious
thar real; that the deficit at the end Of
the year would be IA 000, 900 francs and
that the Government owed the country
the truth concerning the condition of its
finances.
NJ. Ribot's speech made a great impress
sion upon the Chamber and he received
an ovation when he concluded.

full and unnecessarily very expensive, especially
the following particulars:

time we did not mind Germany in the markets

she has been felt in the first-class markets OF
the world. She is beginning to push England
out. England has relied too much solid ma

it will cure every disease under the sun
And they never think of leaving out dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles. They are
sure to claim that their nostrum is abso-
lutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and
he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims, it is
refreshing to note that the proprietors of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have carefully
refrained from making undue claims or
false representations regarding the mer-
its Of this most excellent remedy for dys-
pepsia and stomach troubles. They make
but one claim for it, and that is that for
indigestion and various stomach troubles
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is radical
cure. They go no farther than this, and
any man or woman suffering from indi-
gestion, chronic or nervous dyspepsia,
who will give the remedy trial will find
that nothing is claimed for it that the
facts will not fully sustain.
1t is modern discovery, composed of
harmless vegetable ingredients acceptable
to the weakest or most delicate stomach.
It's great success in curing stomach trou-
bles is due to the fact that the medical
properties are such that it will digest
whatever wholesome food is taken into
the stomach, no matter whether the stom-
ach is in good working order or not. It
rests the overworked organ and replen-
isles the body, the blood, the nerves Gre
atlng healthy appetite, gives. refresh
accompany good digestion and proper
assimilation of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets no
OleunS Is required. Simply eat plenty of
wholesome food and take these Tablets
at each meal, thus assisting and resting
the stomach, which rapidly regains its
proper digestive power, when the Tablets
will be no longer required.
Nervous Dyspepsia is simply a condi-
ton in which some portion or portions Of
the nervous system are not properly nour-
fshed. Good digestion invigorates the
nervous system and every organ in the
body.
Any druggist will tell you Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets give universal satisfaction.
