NOTHING rs SURER

Than the effect of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription 1t makes weak women strong,
sick women well. 1t regulates the periods,
stops disagreeable drains, heals infamma-
ton and liberation, and cures female weak
ness. 1t prepares the wife for motherhood,
gives her vigor and physical strength, so
that the birth hour is practically painless.
It is the best of tonics because it contains
no alcohol, neither opium cocaine, nor any
other narcotic. For working women in the
home, store or schoolroom it is an invalu-
able medicine. 1t qniets the nerves, in
creases the appetite, and causes restful
and refreshing sleep. Nursing mothers
will find no tonic so beneficial to mother
and child as Dr.. Pierces Favorite Prescrip.

THE GREAT SECRET

OF woman's preservation of her beauty
lies in the intelligent care of the womauly
health. So close is the relation between
the health of the delicate wonanly organs
and the health of the whole body, that
whenever the feminine functions are de-
ranged or disturbed the consequences are
felt by every nerve in the body. Severe
headache, backache, pain i'll the side, and
bearing-down pains are borne with by so
many thousands of women that one who is
in sound health is a rare exception. Most
women would give anything to knoz0 how
to be cured. The way is very plain. Fol-
low the path made by more than half
million women who have been perfectly
cured of womanly ills and weakness.

All women love flowers, and every woman
who grows them knows that their health

Of the plant. Their leaves and roots must

If a woman would care for herself as she

newspapers were doing In 1895, after
three years Of free-trade domination.
The Springfield paper appealed for:
Preference for American labor, for

Of other countries"
Precisely what the protectlonlsts Of

"Free-trade is correct in theory and

HALF CENTURY AGO.
CONVINCING ARGUMENTS IN SUP.
PORT OF PROTECTION.
Free-Trade Newspaper Of To-Day Was
at That Time Strongly In Favor of
Leglslating for the Best Interests Of
Our Own People.

Curious relics of the past, when sane
and sound Americanism characterized
the columns of a newspaper which in
recent years has turned much of its
talents and energies in a contrary d.
rection, are found in the files of the
Springfield Republican of nearly fifty
years ago. In the edition of that pa
per OF the date of Jan. IL, 1855, APP
pears an editorial on "The Tariff"
which shows the then editor, Samuel
Bowles, senior, as one of the ablest
and clearest sighted protectionists OF
that period, No one has ever pre-.
sented more effective argument in ia
Ior OF the policy which looks after our
own country and our own people and
leaves foreigners to look after them
selves than is contained in this urgent
appeal to congress to lose no time in
enacting a strictly protective tariff.
Business conditions in 1855 were SINH
lar to those which prevailed forty
years later under a Democratic-free-
trade tariff. Franklin Pierce, a New
England free-trader, was president Of
the United States. Free-trade was the
order OF the day, and the customary
free-trade conditions prevailed. With
a tariff for revenue only in full force,
revenue was falling off at the rate Of
$2OOO,OOO a month. Said the Spring
field Republican of that period:
Away with merely revenue tariffs!
They are destroying American indie
pendence. They are transplanting our
workshops to Europe. They are carry.
Ing off our gold as fast as It can be
dug in California. They are obliging
us to wear German and French broad
cloths by forbidding the manufacture
OF American. They are shutting up
factories, reducing the rates of labor,
impoverishing the country. Away with
them!"
That is exactly what a Democratic
tariff was doing In 1895, forty years la
ter. In the winter Of 1855, as the Re.
publican narrates, the unemployed la.

The other cabins contained little
that was useful or valuable. Pope
went on deck. The weather remained
very dark and quiet. Tho locked yes

Of the sea, with an occasional thump
or jerk that was made soft and harm

The ten armed seamen who had fol-

on to the quarterback, and hung about

of the seamen.
Get these yards braced forward,
Mr.. Crystal" said Pope, Il leave you

He went quickly forward into the
bows, listened attentively, but no
sound proceeded from the imprisoned
men below. Then in leap or two he
gained the deck of his own brig.

CHAPTER vl-continued.

Pope instantly saw how it was-a
commonplace troublesome collision;
and he delivered these orders in a
voice that rang like the notes of a
bugle through the brig
"Grindal, take some hands and Sc.

The arms-chests had been slowed
away very conveniently to hand, as
may be supposed, in a little division
In the afterhold called the lazarette,

deck. Thither Crystal and some men
rushed; the cabin lamp gave them
light. They came up with armfuls of
cutlasses and a number Of pistols, and
the two captains heading about ten
armed men of their crew, sprang from
the rail into the strangers bow, and
ran with terrifying shouts along her
decks.
Drive the crew into the fok'sle,"
beloved Pope. "Cut down all who re-
sist."
The man who held the lantern on
the quarter deck, who had shouted
unintelligibly, who was incased in
clothes which swelled him to the d.
mansions Of bull, was undoubtedly
the master of the little ship. Another
man stood beside him, probably the
mate. They remained stock-still,
transfixed, motionless as dead men,

while the piratic crew came storming
to the quarterback.
Forward with ye," yelled Pope,
fiourishing his sword about the ears
OF the fat captain.
Away with ye," bawled Crystal,
striking the mate a thump between
the shoulders which set him running.
And amid cries and excavations, and
the stamp of feet, and the laughter of
men along the rail of the Gypsy, the
whole of the crew, with the immense
swelled captain among them, were
swept forward and tumbled into the
forscastle through the little scuttle
and battened down.
A few of the men we're left on deck.
The others followed Captain Pope and
Captain Crystal down the companion
hatch into the strangers living room.
A lamp of several tlnts of glass
burned under the little skylight. I'm
der the lamp, at square table, per-
fectly visible in the white luster that
streamed downward, sat a stout wom-

trembling round 1t, and two immense
ly thick lengths of hair pale as hay
lying in braids like sennit upon her
back. She held her fat hands clasped
upon her lap, and some fine rings
flashed upon them. Pope took heed
of this. He made her one of his lofty
bows and exclaimed, Good evening,
madame, do you speak Engllsh?"
She stared at him motionless. He
knew a few words of French and tried
her with that tongue. She continued
to stare at him. Pope, though a pl-
rate, was not a pickpocket, and find
ing the lady mute, stirless and sense
less with terror, he cast his eyes at
the rings upon her fingers, and at a
bright gold chain round her neck. He
put his hand upon the rings. Instant

with great agility whipped the gold
chain over her hat. These things the
captain put into his pocket.

"Our leaving that ship ahoat and

to tell their story proves, Jonathan,
that we are new to our trade" says
Pope grimly. "The old red-pawed

UNwIsE POLICY.
Republicans Should Not Side With
Democrats.

There Is no substantial reason to be
advanced why Republicans of either
state should attempt to play into the
hands of their political enemies by
changing front on the tariff question
The tariff law as it stands is admit
teddy good measure. If the whole
question were reopened 1t Is more thar
doubtful whether any better law could
be framed; and to reopen the tariff
question in part is to reopen it IN
whole. If imperfections exist in the
law as 1t stands there has been a dis
tinct lack Of any specific pointing out
of those defects. When 1t is positively
shown that some injury is worked
through them it will be time enough
to proceed TO remedy those defects
either by raising duties If they hav,
proved too low or lowering them 1
they have proved too high.
In the meantime and until some de
fects do appear and are specifically
pointed out, it is decidedly advisable
both from the standpoint of polite:
and from regard for the interests o.
the country, to let the tariff alone
and to refrain from aiding the Demo
cratic campaign for revision.
