Prosperity Will Continue.

w Ut ~ohAtbbSs
Comptroller Ridgely, as he inn
formed the bankers in convention
in San Francisco, sees nothing in
the financial situation to effect the
continued prosperity of the nation.
He thinks that the course of busi-
ness very largely depends upon the
bankers. If they pursue a wise
and conservative course there will
be no trouble. Some few banks
and trust companys, which have
been engaged heavily in specula-
tive enterprises, have gone under,
and there may be other such insti-
tutions which will suffer in the
same way. But that is not in any
sense q reflection of the business
situation, says Philadelphia Press.
A Baltimore trust company, for
instance, loaned more than its en-
tire capital aud deposits to rail
road company building a line in
Mexico. The action of Congress
in declining to construct a canal
across the isthmus had an adverse
influence on the projected railroad,
and this led ultimately to the fail
ure of the trust company. But
that had no relation to the business
situation in the United States. 1t
was pure speculation, and a bank
or trust company taking such ex-
traordinary risks in a foreign
country might be expected to go
into bankruptcy sooner or later.
The shipbuilding trust was an
other illustration Of reckless and
foolish speculation. The failure of
that concern, no matter how great
the prosperity of the nation, could
not well have been avoided. 1t
was organized apparently to afford
opportunity for some persons to
make unwarranted profits and then
to get out of the business. But it
did not hold together hardly long
enough for that purpose. The
failures the public hears about are
nearly all of that kind. Legiti-
mate enterprises and overcapital-
lied and honestly conducted are
prosperous now, as they have been
heretofore. But the corporations
with inflated capital suffer more or
less, as might have been expected.
The postal receipts of the country
show an increase, which is q good
test. The railroads are doing
large business, and while the effect
of squeezing the water out of the
speculative enterprises is somewhat
depressing it is not effecting gen
eral business to any great extent
and will soon be lost in view. Re-
publican success at the polls in
November will be great influence
in assuring the people that there is
to be no radical legislation and
nothing to retard the prosperity
which the country mas been enjoy
for years.

CURES CATARRH.

"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure for catarrh
Ever Discovered" says L. Taggart.
Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner The only way in
which this two common disease can be
cured is through direct application that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and pre-
vent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method of
treatment that accomplisbes this. 1t is
the simplest, most pleasant, and the only
absolute cure for catarrh that has ever
been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most promi-
nent men and women in the country who
have been cured by this remarkable rem
edy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent physicians have given strong
testimonials as to the remarkable powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh.

method of curing catarrh, but it is also
the most economical.
L. Taggart had so much confidence
in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that he will for limited time, sell this
medicine under his personal guarantee to
refund the money if the purchasers can
say that it did not help them.
