TRADING COAL FOR IRON.

The American Consul General In Paris Mr..
Mason discusses at length in a recent report
a question that has caused anxiety on both sides
of the Atlantic, but particularly in this
try The consumption of iron ore is now going
on at a rate that threatens TO exhaust the avail
able deposits of that mineral-those of China
excepted-in considerably less than Il century,
and perhaps within fifty years. Mr.. Mason
quotes statistics in which he places confidence
and which indicate that the United States can
count with certainty only 1O0OOO0OO tons
of ore but uses fully 350000OO year. On the
other hand there is an assurance OF an ample
supply of coal here for three four centu-
ries at least. and in parts of Europe there is
Il scarcity. 1t is suggested therefore, that an
export trade in this commodity be organized
particular attention being paid to the require
ments of France. and that iron from Spain
Finland and Scandinavia be secured as return
freight
Though the extent of the workable deposits
of iron now known in the United States has
probably been underestimate. the general sit
uation has not been greatly exaggerated by Mr.
Mason. Other men have been keenly alive In
the prospect, which grows darker yearly. Dur
ing the twelve months ended December 81
1903. the production of pig iron In this coun-
try was trlhc less than 23,OO0.000 tons and
II is estimated that the whole world manuract
ured only 54.0O0O0O tons in that period In
other words, America produced between 70 and
43 per cent of the whole amount of pig iron
made, and yet has only an eighth or q ninth
part of the ore in sight excluding from the cal
culatiOn the i',l'nnnsa stores which are craditaJ
To China, but which are not yet worked
Regarding the feasibility OF one part of Mr.
Nsson's proposition there cannot be much doubt.

Says THE Public Ledger" of Philadelphia:
"If at this instant somebody should propose
ito issue legal tender based the storage of
potatoes in national repositories the House
would probably be in a Quandary how to pro-
coed. Any proposition which the President
might support would be favored without ques-
''tion." The statement is slightly exaggerated.
The people believe in the honesty and patriotism
Of the President but they also believe IN his
intelligence and common sense. and the things
he proposes can all be judged by that standard.

Are You Tired, Nervous
 and SIeeDleSS :?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us- ually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourishing blood; they are StdrDed nerves. Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery makes pure, rich blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nOurished and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as machin- cry which runs in oil. Tn this way you feel clean, strong and strenuOus-yOu are toned up and invigOrated, and you are good for a whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and in crease in vitality and health are lasting.
 The trouble with most toncs and med lclnes which have large, booming sale for a short time, is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles. and in the long run greatly niureS the system. One may feel eXhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of 1t bears upon it's wrapper The Bddge Of Honestly, in full list of all its several ingredients. For the druggist to offer yon something he claims is "just as good is to insult your intelligence.
 Every ingredient entering into the wOrld-famcd rGolden Medical Discovery !" has the unanimous approval and end orSe- ment of the leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice. No other medicine sold through druggists for like purposes has any such endorsement.
 The Golden Medical Discovery not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden Seal root, in all stomach, liver and bowel troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con Stipation, alteration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used in it's compound ing is greatly enhanced in it's curative ac- ton by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherry bark BloodrOot, Man drake root and, chemically pure triple refined glycerne.
