Stability In Trade.

A new task has been undertaken
by the corporations, which, if sue
cessful, should entitle them to con-
siderable credit. In times past the
moment trade activity slackened
the imperative needs of the factor
les impelled them to cut prices in
order to get such business as was
going, says the Pittsburg Times.
When prices commenced to drop
buyers held back from the market
least they should load up with
goods while competitors proftted
later by still lower prices. This
process always demoralized the
market and business, and the
whole country suffered. Now the
steel and iron makers are curtail-
ing production so that the market
may be assured of no deluge Of
goods at improbable figures. The
result is that already buyers are
coming to the mill in greater num-
bers than before the restriction was
decided on.
This gives color to the prospect
of a steady market, even if it should
not see the same volume of trade,
and steadiness is the one thing de-
sired. In steel products prices
were held down pretty firmly in
the flush period, except in these
rare cases of hurry orders, and if
the prices can be kept now from
going down very far, business will
be encouraged. A restricted vol
ume of business on safe lines of
cost and profit is infinitely better
than a greater volume on a fuct-
uating basis. The steady move
ment disarranges nothing. The
fuctuation upsets everything from
the labor cost of product to the
manufacturers profit or loss, the
merchants gains, and the conf
dence of the buyer. The steel and
iron trade has not yet suffered
serious decline, nor is such pros
pect likely, if the trade has some
assurance that prices are not to be
cut to ruinous base.

l.. TAGGART.

For years there has been demand for
natural means for increasing flesh, and
Ml-o-na has come to supply this need.
1t Is not cod liver oil preparation,
but combination of flesh forming ele-
ments, that regulates and aids digestion
and restores health. 1t mingles with the
food you eat, aids its assimilation, tones
up and strengthens the digestive organs,
and puts the whole system in proper
physical condition.
Every one who is troubled with dys-
pepsia has that tired feeling, loss of ap-
petite, or is losing flesh or is in a run
down condition, should take the guaran-
tee bond to L. Taggart and begin the use
of Mi-o-na at his risk.
Remember the treatment costs you
nothing unlesa it does all that is claimed
for it.

Ten Thousand Churches

In the United States have used the
Longman & Martinez Pure Paints.
Every Church will be given liberal
quantity whenever they paint.
Don't pay $3.50 gallon for Linseed
oil (worth 80 cents) which you do when
you buy thin paint in can with paint
label on it.
8 & 8 make IA, therefore when you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy
only eight gallons of L. s. M, and mix
six gallons of pure linseed oil with it.
You need only four gallons of L. &
M. Paint, and three gallons of Oil
mixed Herewith to paint a good sized
house.
Houses painted with these paints
never grow shabby, even after 1s years.
These celebrated paints are sold by

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip effectually and permanently, but pre-
vents these diseases from resulting in
Pneumonia. 1t is also certain cure for
croupe. Whooping cough is not danger
GUS when this remedy is given. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult 1t is also pleasant
to take. When all of these facts are
taken into consideration it is not surpris-
ing that people in foreign lands, as well as
at home, esteem this remedy very highly
and very few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For sale by

Cause of Lockjaw.

LockJaw, or tenanus, is caused by q
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t is inactive SO long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain a
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, brusies and like injuries
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usual
treatment. 1t is for sale by L. Taggart.

PRUNED BILLS
GOVERNOR CUTS APPROPRlA-
TONS MATERIALLY.
Totat Amounts to NeSrly Four Hum
dred Thousand Dollars---Omnl-
bus Road Bill and Bill Making
Appropriation for Lewis and
Clark Far Among the Dead Ones

Olympia, March 24.-The sum of
$399.960.12 has been cut from the ap-
preparations from the general fund,
as passed by the legislature, in the
veto messages filed by Gov. Mcbride
Saturday. The omnibus roads bill, APP
preparations for the Lake Crescent
hatchery, relief of e. G.. Bickerton,
branch soldiers home, sugar bounty,
relief of Puget Sound Single & Saw
mill Company, coyote bounty, and for
framing legislative groups, were We
toed in toto. The section in the Lew
is and Clark fair bill making the ap-
preparation was sticken out, and also
thirteen items from the omnibus ap-
preparation bill.
In his veto message, the governor
admits that the majority, and prob
ably all of the measures he has vetoed
are meritorious, and assigns as the
sole reason for his disapproval the ne
cessity for retrenchment in order to
keep the appropriations within the
revenues of the state None of the
appropriations from the special funds
were disturbed by the executive, nor
are any of the items providing for the
running expenses of the various state
offices cut out, although the legisla-
ture made provisions for additional
clerical help and other expenses in
nearly all the departments.
All appropriations for the education
al, charitable and penal institutions of
the state, it will be remembered, have
been approved by Gov. Mcbride long
ago, and whatever retrenchment the
governor has in mind was necessarily
directed, at this late date at least, at
the general appropriations and the
measures disapproved today. A COM
prehensive idea of the havoc wrought
by the executive today will be found
in the following summary:
Total appropriations made from gen.
eral fund by legislature, $2,S97 1886.
Total amounts vetoed from general
fund by the governor, $399,960.12.
Total appropriations for general
fund after governors veto, $2,4O7.-
1884
Special funds, $7O6,S9392.
Total appropriations from all funds
now become laws, $3,114,252.76.

carcaras. March 24.-The Venezue-

congress. President Castro first passed
in review the terrible conditions which
prevailed in the country and denounced
the errors of his countrymen.
But" he continued, "if it is painful

ISOLATION to think that their bitter
stream. by the law of comprehension,
will fecumdate something that should
correspond to present day aspirations
since every struggle begets an idea and
every victorious idea justifies the sup
position that an onward step has been
taken on the road to perfection"

ENGLAND PROTESTS.
Mother Country Asks Colonies to
Contribute More Literally.

New York, Monday, March "a
There is undoubtedly a growing de-
mand by the people of this country
that the self governing colonies should
bear larger share of the cost of the
imperial defence, says dispatch to
the Tribune from London. The Sat
urday Review, referring to the subject
argues as follows:
"Supposing for a moment that Can
ada was a separate country. She
would be forced, especially as her
wheat export increases, to keep a con-
siderable feet to defend her merchant
men, and yet Sir Wilfried Laurier
maintains that Canada is doing her
full duty in the imperial defense by
building railways, most of which were
made possible by English capital"
The real meaning of this and SIM
liar arguments is that John Bull, in
spite of his broad back, is grooming I'M
der an income tax of Is pence on the
pound, and is anxious to be relieved
of the load.

Medical Bubbles.

Doctors have invented new form
of bubbles. Neuralgia, sciatica and
lumbago are known to be affections
of the ends of the nerves which lie
lust under the skin of the painful
region. 1t has been discovered that
by injecting air under the skin the
ends of the nerves are heightened and
the pain relieved. The bubble of air
is pressed by the fingers and caused
to move about until all parts are re-
lieved. In dislocations, fractures and
bruises the same treatment mas given
relief.-London Globe

men at work along the twenty miles of
