chant Of Greensboro, Ga, and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that place,
| writes:
"For long time was troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave me no relief.
Peruna was recommended to me by
several friends, and after using a few
bottles am pleased to say that the long
looked for relief was found and / am
now enjoying better health than have
for years. It is certainly grand medi-
cine."-M J. Rossman.

Senator from Louisiana, says the follow
ing in regard to Peruna
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:

THE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to-
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become SO justly famous, it's
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tatcs to see his name in print recon-
,mending Peruna.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
e. g. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. e. g. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Greensboro, Ca,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. My little boy seven
years of age had been suffering for some
time with catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady consider it well nigh
specific. AS tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few or no equals."-
REV. E. G. SMITH.

REcREANT PRINCESS
EXPELLED FROM COURT.

/. DRESDEN, Feb. 1.-THE separation
of former Crown Princess Louise and
Prof Giron does not change the pres
ent legal situation and will not have
the slightest effect on the divorce
proceedings which will be resumed
Feb. 18th. The princess can never re
turn to the Saxon court but she may
possibly effect a reconciliation with
her own family and take up a perma-
nent residence in Austria. The ques-
ton of allowing the princess to see
her children will only be decided by
King George after the court which is
hearing the divorce testimony renders
judgment.

PARIS, Feb. 7-Official edvices
have been received here confirming
the report that the sultan of Turkey
has ordered the immediate mobiliza-
ton of 100000 troops for military
demonstration in Macedonia. The
steps taken are regarded with appre-
hension by the French officials as be-
ing likely to involve complications be-
tween Turkey and Russia and Austria.
1t is said that the Russian and Aus
trian governments have agreed on
firm note to the sultan which will be
presented within the next few days,
insisting on administration and official
reforms in Macedonia. 1t is consider
ed that the sultan's mobilization OF
such an army is clearly an effort to
forestall the presentation of this note.

What the democratic party favors
at the present time, and has always
favored SO far as we know, is a tariff
for revenue. At no time has the
democratic party advocated the clos
ing Of the custom houses, or the adj
justment of tariff schedules so as to
deprive American manufacturers
and producers Of the advantages
which tariff for revenue would give
them over their foreign competitors.
Then why should democrats continue
to use misleading terms such as
tariff for revenue only" and Gree
trade" These terms, in their or
binary meaning, do not describe what
the democratic party stands for on
the tariff question.
There is the broadcast possible DIFF
ference between tariff for revenue
and a high protective or prohibitiye
tariff.
The expenses of the federal
government exceed $500,000,O00
annually, and the greater part Of
this enormous sum is now and ever
must be collected from tax on inn
ports. The products Of foreign fac
tories are taxed before they can be
sold in the markets Of this country,
while the products of our own mills
and factories pay no tax. The home
manufacturer has an advantage over
the foreigner to the extent Of the
tax, which when cut down to a reve-
nue. basis is all the advantage that
the home manufacturers should
have.
A high tariff is the reverse Of a
tariff for revenue. The primary OBJ
ject Of a high tariff is to exclude OF
prohibit the importation of foreign
merchandise, which might be sold
in this country in competition with
domestic goods, and collect our tar
iff taxes largely from imported arti-
cles which are not produced in this
country.
This gives our manufacturers a
monopoly of the markets of this
country, and enables them to com
bine and charge American producers
robber prices for their goods. II

d goods was adjusted on reEeaue

Cost OF the Flood Is Enormous at Easton,
Pa.-Loss ut Trenton, N. j.
Easton, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE Delaware
river began to recede about midnight
and continues to fall rapidly. The
Lehigh and the Bushkill are still
backed up for miles, and everything
along their banks is flooded. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the loss, or even
approximate it, but in Easton and
towns up and down the Delaware, it
will take millions to replace bridges
and repair the damage. Only one
bridge from the headwaters If the
Delaware to Easton is standing, and
that is an old covered structure at
Portland.
Mayor Lehr directed relief corps
composed of policemen, National
Guardsmen and citizens that rescued
hundreds of bloodhound people along
the Lehigh river. The refugees were
housed in the city guard armory. The
West Easton industries are still SUBJ
merged, also the gas and electric light
and power plant. The light station
is the only one In operation.
Trenton. N. j., Oct. 1.-THE extent
Of damages done by the flood in this
section is now beginning to be fully
realized. AT least six and possibly all
nine of the wagon and foot bridges
across the Delaware river between this
city and Easton, Pa, have been car
ried away. The railway tracks along
the river between this city and Bor-
dentown are submerged at points to a
depth of three feet and 1t Is not consid-
cred safe to run trains until the wat
er has receded and the washouts are
discovered and repaired. The Delaware
and Raritan canal and the canal feed
er both are reported to have several
breaks in their banks at different
points,
