DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

MR.. AND MRS. CONSUMER
Do you realize that the the pre-
Mt high Tariff on sugar is cost
: the American people two
cents per pound, or over $3.50,
100000 annually, according to
Mr.. c.. A. Spreckels, President
of the Federal Sugar Refining
Company, a concern independent
of the Trust?
That only S52,O0O,OOO of this
amount is annually collected by
the Government as revenue and
the balance is tribute extorted by
the Tariff favored interests.
That practically no American
labor is employed in the beet
fields of the Western States?
That the per capita consump-
ton of the United States is 80
pounds, which means an exac-
ton from each family of five
persons of S.. 40 annually as a re-
suit Of the Tariff?
That when merchant pays
81, 700 for carload of sugar $50
of it is Tariff?
That the export price of sugar
is now 1.60c. per pound less than
the domestic?
That through the removal of
the duty between 1891 and 1894
the price of sugar was reduced
Il cents per pound, consumption
increased % per cent the first
year and AZ per cent during
three years, in contrast to an
average annual increase under
the present Tari # of 4 per cent?
That the purchasing power of
a dollar is limited to 16 pounds
under the present Tariff and
would be Is pounds under Free
Sugar.
That the cost of production
has no relation to the selling
price of domestic sugar, and that
domestic sugar producers, in ar
irving at a selling price, bases
his price on the value Of impot-
ed sugar plus the duty, and not
only adds the freight from sea-
board to distributing markets as
well?
(This is shown by the follow
ing comparison of wholesale pri-
ces:
New York sos
New Orleans $50
San Francisco $50 Can
$50 Beet
Salt Lake City 5.95 Cane
5.75 Beet
Both the cane and beet sugar
which is being sold in Californ a
and Utah is of domestic produc-
ton while the sugar being sold
in New York and Philadelphia is
made from imported raw sugar,
on which duty has been paid.)
That the people of our Western
States who are paying these high
prices receive from the fact that
this domestic sugar, both beet
and cane, is being produced at q
cost of around 3 cent per pound
for granulated?
That the American Farmer re.
ceives no more for his beets,
though the Tariff on sugar under
the Payne-Aldrich law is 1.9C
cents per pound, than the farmer
in Germany, where the Tariff is
only so cents per pound, re-
ceives for his?
That for years our Tariff
laws have been drawn so as to
protect the refners. The time
has arrived when we should
have Tariff laws framed so as to
rotect the more numerous con-
pumers.
That I'VE should look to those
interests that should be of SER
vice to the people rather than to
those special interests the people
must serve"
