My Dear Mr.. Farquhar: | have only

trip to the South. in the expectation that
my health will be largely reinstated by

l received your letter, yesterday, and
was much impressed by the manner with
which you discuss our relations. and our
DUTY to Cuba.
The arguments used in opposition to the
tariff concessions she implores. based
Upon our material interests, are falla-
clous, mistaken and misleading, while
their source and the agencies of their
proposition and spread cannot fail to be
recognized by every honest patriotic cit
iZen with shame and humillat ton.
1t seems to me. however that this sub
jet involves considerations of morality
and conscience. higher and more COM
handing than ali others.
The obligations arising from these con-
siderations cannot be better or more for
chilly defined than was done by Presiden.
Roosevelt in his message to Congress,

By Secretary Root. and Congress awaits
while We occasionally hear of concessions
which rich sugar interests might approve
in behalf of trembling Cuba.
| do not believe that nations. any moro
than individuals. can safely violate the
rules of honesty and fair dealing.
Until there is no escape, therefore.
will not believe that, with all our fine
words and lofty professions, our embrace
of Cuba means the contagion of deadly
disease.
Yours very truly,

it ever was, and now am well and hearty, after
going through the most intense pain which q
human person could endure. l cheerfully re-
commend DR.. Greene's wonderful Nervura to
my friends who know how have suffered, and
hope this testimonial may be published"
Rheumatism supports half the doc
tors in christendom, but it would dis
appear if every sufferer understood how
surely it is cured by DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy.
Don't think because nothing has
yet cured your rheumatism that DR..
Greene's Nervura won't do it, for it
will if you give it a chance. You'll pay
almost any sum to be rid of the trouble,
but you can get rid of it at little cost.
Start to-day using the medicine that is
known to cure rheumatism, and that
has been curing it for many years.

there is no more room in their vaults

The governmental authorities believe
il is not the real reason of the banks

with the object of forcing legislation

refusal to receive deposits causes much
Trouble among the merchants. and
there is not sufficient American cur
