TARIFF NOT PARAMOUNT
Mr.. Bryan Discusses Issues of
Next National Campaign.

New York, June 7.-Trusts, the rail-
roads and the tariff will be the issues
in the next presidential campaign, in
the opinion of William Jennings Bry-
an, as expressed in an interview here.
He regards the outlook for the Demo
cratic party for next year very good.
Mr.. Bryan is in New York as a guest
Of the Democratic Progressive league,
which was only recently organized. In
the course Of the interview he was
asked to give his idea of a Progress
sive Democrat and he replied:
'In every country there are two ex-
tremes in politics the radical and the
conservative. 1t is the aim of the
Progressive Democrat to steer mid
die course between the two and to
take up all great measures and solve
them. This year find the Demo
cratic party to be in excellent condi-
tion and more united than ever, while
on the contrary the Republican party
is divided There are two elements
in the Republican party, one which I
might call the extremists and the
other the standpatters,' the latter rep
resenting those people who have put
their hands in other peoples pockets
and wish to keep them there"
Asked if he considered the question
Of tariff reform as essential to the
Democratic platform for the coming
campaign Mr.. Bryan replied:
Il have been a tariff reformer for
years; have talked tariff reform for
ten years prior to the campaign of
1896: believe in it now and have al
ways believed in it, but there are
other questions before the people rela-
lively more important at present, such
as the trusts. railroads, etc. be-
lieve that the Democratic party in it's
national platform will take cognizance
of all three of these questions, but in
my opinion the tariff will not be the
paramount issue.''

lnvigorate the Digestion.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and
bowels, there is nothing SO good
as that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has
been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and i'm :
part new vigor to the body.
One or two every night for a
week will usually be all that is
required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken
every night will in short time
afford great relief.
Brandreth' S Pills are the same
fine laxative tonic pill your
grandparents used, and beng
purely vegetable, are adapted to
every system.
Sold in every drug aud medi-
cine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

the surrounding railroad camps
This bad feature of the employ
ment agent business has been over
come by late ordinance which
gives the mayor power to revoke a
license when a proper showing that
the business is conducted illegally

Macho makes the boast that he
has grown rich in the business and
until recently there were hundreds
of complaints against him. But
since the new ordinance went into
effect not solitary complaint has
been made. 1t is quite evident that
he understands that Mayor Moore
