A FAIR EXCHANGE,

Large sums OF money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and

millions wholly in this way.

pets, but it is soon detected and

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have always acted on very differ
ent principles. Before offering
it to the public they first made
sure of its merits. Then, and
then only, did its name appear
in print. People were assured of
what it would do, and found the
statement truthful. To-day they
believe in it as we all believe in
the word of a tried and trusted
friend. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. It
aids digestion, drives impurities
from the blood, and cures Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Debility, influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
Wasting Complaints. DR.. Louis
W. Bishop says: *I take pleasure
in saying [ have found it most
efficient preparation, embodying
all of the medicinal properties
of a pure cod liver oil in a most
palatable form" It is a scientific
remedy and food with a deli
cious taste and favour. One
bottle convinces. .You cannot
be disappointed in it." Sold by

.-sTANDPATTER" STUPIDITY.
CFrOm American Farmer.)

(F'rOm American Farmer.)
The new German tariff, which goes
into effect on March 1, threatens all
sorts Of difficulties to American farm
exports This tariff discriminates
against all imports from America
while letting in the same articles from
other countries at a much lower rate.
It is a measure Of retaliation against
the high tariff Of the United tSates
and is due to the fact that the stub
born pTOtecdOnists in congress have
refused to adopt a reciprocity treaty
between this country and Germany.
Germany Will not any longer stand the
high Dingley rates applied to every
thing it sends to this country but in
sists that If we want fair terms from
them we must be willing to cOncede
something ourselves, instead Of acting
the part Of the dog in the manger.
American farmers viii suffer greatly
from this new German tariff, as it will
operate to practically exclude our
large exports Of meats and fOOdstuffs,
OF which Germany is a large con-
sumner. ManifestIy, what IS needed is
a fair reprOcity treaty, constructed on
the give and take principle and show
ing a disposition to treat others as We
would have them treat US. Nothing
can exceed the stupidity Of the So
called 'standpatters'' and their bull
necked stubbOrnness is certain to re-
suit in great injury to the agricultural
interests OF the United States. ,,
