The prohibition issue is growing in
this country. This fact cannot be dis
guised. It has been remarkably rnp'd
every where. In some states this senti
ment has mown more ramelly than in
others, but in all it has crown. The
radical, religious, moral type of prohihi
tion sentiment is a very different thing
from the great volume of public senti
ment which has so rapidly gathered
against the saloon as :i publit; business.
Naturally the most radical type, that
which is the product of the enthusiast's
ardor, was the first to manifest i'self
notably. It was so in the nnti-slavery
movement, and it lias leen so in all re
forms. Perhaps it must be so in all re
forms. And right here is the significant
feature of the temperance situation. The
popular disposition to authorize the sa
loon has passed far beyond the enthusiast
or religious phase. This is so because
other relations of the saloon ques
tion arc coming up so prominently into
view. the political relations The or
ganized social corruption, acting through
the saloon, is to-day holding the balance
of political power in our larger cities.
and thus actually holding the balance of
power in the nation as matters now stand.
This is a situation which is producing a
popular revolt. It matters not in what
way the prohibition sentiment manifests
itself, whether by local option laws, by
high license or by state-wide prohibitory
laws, the tendency and ultimate result
must be the same, viz.: the utter extinc
tion of the public drinking saloon. And
the cheering sign of the times is that the
sober, practical matter-of-fact sense of
the community seems rapidly coming to
the conclusion that public necessity re
quires the abolition of the public saloon.

such are simply shops where the cloth is cut.
It then goes, each sort of garment separately,
to tho "tailors," so called, who have thcir
slioiw all over the city, but chiefly in tho most
densely populated tenement house districts
to cure extreme kidney disorders, the pro
fession oflicially disguises from the pub-
lie the fact of their prevalence; mean
while it.? journals are tilled with regrets
at this prevalence and the impotency of and ia the very slums. One tailor will take
the prcfussion to treat it successfully!
Why is the public misled!
These advertisers, shrewdly say it is be
cause the profession, if it concedes what
thev claim that kidnev disease is univer
sal, fears that the people will desert the
powerless doctors and usu the advertised
preparation!
We do not know but they are right!
But what should the people do '
Do'? Read the evidence and guide
themselves accordingly!
The advertisers claim to have cured
hundreds of thousands of cases of lhijdit's
disease and all lesser forms of kidney,
liver and blood derangements. They
offer $5,000 for proof that their state
ments of cures, in every quarter of the
globe, are not true, so far as they know.
these statements are from prominent men
and women all over the world, and the
closest scrutiny is invited !
If a physician cures a mm and he
knows it and says it, people believe him.
If Warner's safe cure cures a man and
he knows it and says it over his own sig
nature, it is just as conclusive evidence
in the latter case as in the former.
A few years ago, after having broker
down prejudices in England, Canada, the
United States, Australia, India and China,
the owners of this great remedy applied
for the privclege of its manufacture and
sale in Germany. The laws of that great
country are very stringent, and nothing
can be manufactured or sold until it winr
permission from the government, and
this w ill not be granted until the govern
ment is satisfied that the best interests of
the public and its indiviuals will be
served by such a preparation.
out hundreds or thousands of pairs of panta
loons in a week, another carries oil the coats,
and the Testa go somewhere eL-ie. If these
men or women have any shops at all they are
simply their living rooms in tho tenements,
where they hire girls to eomo for from noth
ing to a few dollars a week and work at sew
ing machines making up the garments, In
many instances men insta-ad of girls are hired.
esH?cilly on heavy work, but iu either case
tho people are crowded as closely as tho ma
chines can be put together, often four or five
iu ono small room where all tho household
lives and all tho domestic work is carried on.
In these places, reeking with all the vi!
odors of the tenements, with dirty chil
dren crawling over tho filthy floors, play
ing among them by day and sleeping upon
them at night, in an atmosphere, in short, of
dirt, disease and death, the garments are
finally made tip. They may bo 'finished"
that Li, ltavo tho buttons put on and the other
hand sawing done in the same place, or this
work may be farmed out to still more abject
slaves than thoso who toil over the machines
--to women who are prevented by invalid
husbands, young children, or other reason
from leaving their homes, and who are there
fore obliged to take up for their work what
ever pittance tho slop shop barons will dolo
out to them, and trust to charity for enough
more to stave oil starvation. In tho bar
ren rooms of these lowest, of slaves
the garments havo a chance to g.-t
a now variety of odors and disease
tjerms. Then they go, most likely, to th-r
buttonhole factory, where they touch shoul
ders with similar lots from dozens of other
tenement house shops, and when their own
odors and germs havo thus been amalga
matd with the odors and germs of all tho
tenements for half a milo around, they go
back to tho original slop shop, and theueo in
tho course of time to the alleged manufae
turer, who sells them to a wholesaler, maybe.
from wham they go to tho retailer, and after
all tLe.se different hands have taken their

Often they are wonderful bargains indeed,
