"DEAR Mrs. PTNKHAM:l can conscientiously recommend Lydia II.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with
female weakness and the troubles which so often befaIl women. / suf-
fered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that / had
hard work to keep up. / had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable.
In my distress / was advised to use Lydia Il. Pinkhans Vegetable
Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when ltqokth the first dose,
for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks i was a changed
woman, perfectly well in every respect felt SO elated and happy that

3S Jones ST., Detroit, Mich, Secretary Amateur Art Association.
1T is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia e.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferfngs
of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon'S letter is
only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually
publishing in the newspaper of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pink
hams medicine must be admitted by all and for the absolute cure OF AL kinds
of female ills no substitute can possibly take it's place. Women should bear
this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store. and be sure not
II accept ANYTHING that is claimed to be q Just as good as Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, for n o other medicine for female ills has
made so many actual cures.

mand. As one of. them very wittily and trathfully remarked the other day: We tnowt We wur sitting on dynamite, and It turned out to be gowd mine. It IS because the worlds demand for cotton has now become much larger than the supply that .sthe price has risen to its present level and neither the restriction or production at the mills nor the rise or fall of speculators has had any material influence dA either its scarcity or value.
 It is eesy to raise the cry of gambling. but It will not hide the true facts of the case nor palliate the folly and mis1udg- ment of users of cotton in Great Britain. who, though warned repeatedly in the earlier part of the season, refused to pro- vide themselves with the raw material when theyfmight have secured it at most reasona ble~Tates, and even with the ex- ample of continental as we'll as Ameri. can spinners- buying largely. continued stubbornly to hold off. As proof of this IT IS interesting to note the takings of to the end of March. 1894. as compared With last season, and notwithstanding lin the case of The American spinners) that nearly half their export trade In cotton goods had fallen off:
 Takings of American cotton from Sep
 is s-os. 1920, By American spinners. .. .3376000 3.322 GOO By Continental spinners 4, 2,S12, 900 2,S06, ,O01 By English spinners ....1, 1,4S4.OOo I.Ss9.00o
 Thus. while the United States and the Continent have bought more than last season with reduced trade. Great Brit. am has taken Hess. and it is this short. sighted policy that has brought about the calamities from which Lancs shire es- pecially is suffering.
 The fact is that Lancashire has only lust begun to find out what a wonderful godmother Liverpool has always been to her: In keeping in stock from one to two million bales of cotton to supply the wants of the most needy or the most neglectful. This is now thing of the past; and If Lancashire spinners are to be ahead of other countries in the cotton trade they must make ample provision Tor their wants. It Is useless to expect that Southern cotton growers will again suner the serfdom that produced Sd cot ton, when their crops were often in pawn to the man who lent them money to pur- chase their cotton seed. Wherever cotton may pe grown,s or whatever its volume. It VIII be impossible to continue its pro auction If 1t does not adequately recom pense the grower, and as civilization pro gresses and new tribes and people par- ticipate In Its advantages so will the de. mand increase for cotton goods as the most suitable as well as the cheapest clothing for almost every cline and ra.

Silent Men as Candidates.
ville Courier Journal.

LoulSVllle COurler Journal.
 The Republicans once had a aslent man as a candidate. General Grant was noted for his ability to hold his tongue, and he was applauded for 1t by the Re- publicans. It Is a curious fact that when he was taken up as the rose and ex- pectancy of the Republican party he was far more of an interrogation point than the Republicans can possibly make of Judge Parker. He had no political record. except that he was generally credited with having been a Democrat
 His military record was known, just as the judicial record of Parker is now known. But Parker has been a Demo- crat from his earliest years. while Grant had no record as a Republican at all. But the Republicans found nothing to object to in this. and his silence was the subject of unlimited eulogy They were never weary of singing the praises of a man who knew hoF to hold his tongue, They gave him two terms as President, and an indomitsble and formidable minority desired to give him another.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

New York, April 29-R c. Dun & Go e weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Business continues mostly in conservative channels purchases being weather conditions dominating the situa- ton to an unusual extent At many points there has been little spring trade and the transition from winter to sum mer will be accomplished with scarcely any intermediate season. Considering this adverse factor the consequent volume of business Is remarkably satisfactory. Building operations are also deferred to late date. Much structural work is pro- jeoted, however, and at some favored points last years record promised to be surpassed. As a rule manufacturing plants are not working at fun capacity, idle machinery most extensive in textile industries Floods have interrupted reached for April are only 5.5 per cent smaller than last year. Iron and steel conditions are still devoid of any definite change. Tn several departments how evert the week has brought slightly in- creased activity, notably in merchant steel pipe and structural shops. The nearer fundamental lines are approach ed, the less strength is seen. High iron is also weaker at Pittsburg and the rapid increase in blast furnace activity has lifted the capacity above the market requirements. Unless contracts for the third quarter are soon placed on a liberal scale 1t is probable that the output will be checked? Wire mills have maintain ed activity. Contracts for Pennsylvania railroad tunnel castings are being sought at very low prices and this business will soon be placed while a fair volume of export trade Is also approa ching con summation. Fuel markets send conflict ing reports, anthracite coal being freely sought to take advantage of the spring discounts. Soft coal and coke are abundant and cheap because of the idle ness at many factories.
 Conditions are less satisfactory in the drygoods trade than at any previous time this season. Distribution at retail is restricted by the weather and there are no compensating factors. In mems wear, woolens and worsted goods, 1t is esti- mated by some that about 70 per cent of the mills are idle.
 Activity and strength is reported in the western hide markets. sales of over 10000 being reported ,1n Thursday when the manufacturing interest resumed pur- chases. Trading in foreign dry hides is only limited by arrivals as demand is good at values.
 Failures this week number 202 in the United States against 230 last year and 16 in Canada compared with 13 a year ago.

A NOTABLE EDITION.

The Centennial Edition of The Charles ton News and Courier represents and illustrates an institution of which not only the people of Charleston and South Carolina, but of all the States of the American Union may we'll be proud. From an intellectual standpoint this edi- ton gives evidence that the pa- per is equal today to the &C., complishment of any enterprise re- quiring careful statement and calm, clear reasoning. One hundred years is a long time for a newspapers life but The Charleston News and Courier is stronger. healthier and more powerful than at any former period. Its editors through all its years beginning with Richard Yeadon, of the old Courier. to date. including John c. Hemphiil, have made their impress on State and National affairs. The names of Dawson and Riordan are as indissolu- bly connected with the later Charleston older Courier and the combined name invokes the love of patriotic South Caro- linians. From every view the Centennial Edition Is a remarkable one. It's compi- lation of historical events makes it worthy of preservation by every one into whose hands it may fall. With profound respect and affectionate regard for all of those who have gone before after work we'll done, The Advertiser lifts it's hat to those who are so thoroughly and so ably continuing the legacy committed to their l ards

SOME SOUND SENTIMENTS.

The late Democratic State Convention of Pennsylvania. adopted this as part of its platform:
 Labor unions organized for the better ment of the condition of wage=earners. acting within the limits of law and not subyersive of public order or individual rights, are not only lawful but commend able. and should be met. recognized and dealt with accordingly.
 Certainly no exception can be taken to that declaration. for 1t not only recog- mixes but approves ,asor unions as g means of bettering the condition of, the working men. It is the excesses So of- ten allowed or approved of that brins unionism into disrepute. and it Is credit able to some of the most prominent men among them that they oppose the violent methods so often resorted to. For ex- ample. MT. Gompers recently declared that organized labor has nothing but unstinted condemnation for such vio- lence." and went on to declare that "slugging of men who have been em- pioyed to take the place of strikers, and attacks on women and girls. are deplor- abie.''
 This Is the right kind of doctrine to preach, and Mir. Powderly. who has been prominent in labor circles. having once been President of the Knights of Labor. recently asserted that "tne labor leader who has the Interests of his. men at heart will fight the strike tosthe last ditch. for of all the costly. cumbrous. wiifui cruel methods of setting. diffi- culty on labor matters the strike and the lockout are the worst"
 These are sound utterancess and if they were always needed there would be lit- tie opposition to labor unions. Unfortu- nately this Is not the. case. There are some who think that strike or lock- out is the first remedy to be adopted in cases of differences between employer and employe, and too often this remedy re- suits in lawlessness and bloodshed, to say nothing of the loss to both sides. Pity reason and fairness cannot always rule in such matters

THE cRuM CASE.


 Roosevelt has solidtned the negro vote. He aimed to do it and has succeeded. He began his administration by many pro- fessions of regard for the South and the Southern people and in particular he purposed to defer to local public opinion in naming Federal officials. He was looking for good men to appoint and would not appoint any but good men. All this sounded very we'll and the white people of the South looked hopefully forward to better treatment than they had ever before received at the hands Of Republican President Their dream was soon shattered. His deliberate. con certed and planned entertainment of Booker Washington revealed the true ln- wardness of the man. He was willing to shock the sensibiiities of every Southern white man to make sure of the negro vote in doubtful Northern States. His defenders have laughed at the rage of the South as the negroes lined up for Roosevelt in New York and Indiana. Not since Lincoln has any President ever made so distinct an appeal to the negro He merits the negro's applause Tor he has bid for it more openly than any pred ecessor of his ever did.
 The crum case in Charleston though. evidently gives him lot of worry. This appointment is opposed not only by the Senators from South Carolina, but by practically the entire white population of Charleston. and of the State. Roosevelt has continued to hammer on conf1rma- ton, session after session. until he has still more deeply disgusted the Demo- crats and many Republicans besides. He gets enough of anything as quick as the next man when he sees votes slipping from him. So long as there was chance of rushing Crum's nomination through the Senate, he could chuckle over the possession of ebony hued admirers all over the country and especially in the States he needsaso sorely to win his cleo tion. To have Crum dangling and forev- CT dangling before the eyes of the people is to invite inspection and sober thought from some other voters than negroes liv-
 
 white Republicans really enjoy seeing Southern whites run over with negro ap- pointments, knowing as they do that no Northern community would for one mo- ment tolerate such an indignity. It is well for Roosevelt to have solid negro vote, but he begins to see he may se- cure this at too great cost. He is ciam- orous to get Crum off his hands and out of the eye of the public. His persistent pushing of Crum's case is growing more and more offensive. He sees this. He must wish he had never heard of the man. We do not expect him to desert Crum., this would be too cowardly from his point of view. and therefore are not surprised at his again appointing him as the Senate adjourned without con- frming the old appointment We expect he will hear from his persistent and ag- gressive fight in behalf of this negro. not alone from the South but from the North and West as well.

SPRING DEMAND NOT USUAL IN
 VOLUME.
Backward Weather Has Had It's Ef- feet, and so Far This Year 125, ,oOO Men have Gone on
 on Strike.

New York. April 29.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Distributive trade continues quiet at most markets and April trading the coun- ago. The absence of the heretofore usual volume of spring demand is, depressing to dealers who fear they will be obliged to carry over surplus sto-ks. While weather and crop conditions are back ward at the South exceptionally strong position of the leading interests renders the outlook for the, future very hopeful. favorable development of the week has been the breaking of the drought In the Southwest Backward weather has re- tarded cotton planting and spring wheat seeding while crop germination ana growth are generally reported slow the country over. During the first four months of the year upward of 12.coo men have struck for various causes. but while there is considerable unTest. rath- ances are looked for. Among the iudus- tries the demand for pig iron is rather quieter. the lack of inquiry showing most effect in Bessemer pig. Reyisions of enables Southern iron to be offered at concessions. Nearly all furnaces are. however. reported sold up to July 1, and quarter. Is now receiving attention. Fin fshed products are quieter. but 1t Is sig nihcant that demand for the smaller products Is inducing a production of steel not fnuCH DelOW tne nlgnef record or a year ago. No general buying by the rail- roads Is reported but numerous small or ders for rails for Western roads have been worked and some large sales to Eastern roads are under consideration. Export trade Is enlarglng. Price fuctua- tions this week have been relatively un- important, the tendency as a whole has been slightly downward. Cotton has been depressed by poor trade reports and print cloths have further weakened without. however, encouraging much new busi- ness. Curtailment is still a subject of discussion in manufacturing branches of the trade.
 Show manufacturing appears rather de- pressed. Weather conditions play a. lead- Ing. part in the demand for building ma- terials which are active at some markets and slow of sale at others.
