How can Gen. Weyler put those
Cuban reforms into, effect, if he
can’t catch the Cubans?
From March 4, to 17, Carson City,
Nevada, will be more popular than
Washington, with a certain class of
our peopla
Free trade objections will not
count with the republicans who are
engaged in making the new tariff

It looks like Bryan was trying to
raise himself to the presidential
class by an occasional duok-shooting
trip _ _ _
It seems almost certain that Cuba
is to have a famine as the Result of
Gen. Weyler’s destructive policy.
Poor Cuba!

thing in due time.

It is not probable that “Little
Billie” Bryan and Senator Hill
think alike abont many things, bat
it is dollars to soda crackers that
their thoughts are identical on the
advisability of the politician ont of a
job making a success in the lecture
field; they both know.
The two members of the Canadian
government who are now in Wash
ington trying to make a dicker with
the ways and means committee so as
to get duties upon agricultural pro
ducts that would favor Canadian
’farmers at the expense of our own,
are certainly cheeky, but we cannot
call them wisa
lx view of the Tommyrot that is
being printed on- the subject, we
feel called upon to ask, if anybody
remembers a change of administra
tion that was not accompanied by
thousands of office seekers? That
men who help to put a new adminis
tration into power should ask for
office under that administration is
as natural as that water should run
down hill.
When the people voted for a pro
tective tariff, last November they
knew that it meant a duty on every
article of foreign manufacture - or
production which enters into compe
tition with our own goods, high
enough to prevent American goods
being underscld in our own markets
by foreign goods, as they are under
the present tarifT, and that is what
the republican congress is going to
give them, regardless of the squeals
of the agents of foreigners. \
Hxnatob Bacon, of Georgia, re*
fuses to believe, notwithstanding the
evidence of last November, that the
south can ever be anything but
democratic, and he is old fashioned
enough to say,* “Most people get
their politics as they do their religion
—by inheritance,” and to add that
southern men will continue demo
crats because their fathers were
democrats. He and others who
believe as he does will find out that
the disposition to do their own
thinking is growing among the
young men everywhere, and when
men get to thinking seriously they
seldom remain democrats.
A PERPLEXING TASK.
. The framing of the new tariff bilf
is not making rapid progress, bnt it
is thonght that the measure will be
ready for presentation to congress
by the middle of March, at which
time it is expected the extra session
will be called* The task of the
republican members of the ways
and means committee is a rather
perplexing one. It is pointed out
that in 1800 the committee was
charged with the duty of framing a
bill to reduce the revenue and equal
ize the duties on imports, while now
it is required to frame a measure to
increase the revenue and equalize
the duties on imports. In 1890 the
revenue from all sources was largely
iu wwiu vi rapeuauarsa, wnere
as now it iB very much leas. The
demand is for an increase of the
yearly onstom receipts by at least
$65,000,000, and this presents a dif
ficult problem.
The question of revenue is not
alone to be considered. The adjust
ment of tariff rates so as to produce
25 or 80 per oent. more income from
oustoms is in itself not an easy mat
ter, no new sources of revenue—as
tea and coffee for example—being
contemplated. But rates must also
be adjusted with reference to plac
ing domestio industries on a plane
of fair and equal competition with
competing foreign industries. This
is essential to a general restoration
of industrial activity, yet it is not
difficult to understand that it is
quite possible to so adjust rates in
the interest of protection as to inter
fere with revenue. Obviously there
is required very careful discrimina
tion in the fixing of rates in order to
seoure both an increase of revenue
and the reasonable protection of
those industries which require it
It appears to be the opinion of
the republican members of the Ways
and means committee that the early
replenishment of the national treas
ury will depend on a substantial
increase of the rates of duty on
imported goods and the restoration
of many of the duties which were
abolished by the legislation of 1894.
It is estimated that an increase o:
$60,000,000 in the revenue above
what is yielded by the present la\e
can be obtained from the following
sources: Sugar, $25,000,000; woo]
and woolens, $18,000,000; tobacco,
$3,000,000; agricultural products,
$2,000,000; spirits $2,000,000; flax,
hemp and and their manufactories,
$4,000,000; cotton hosiery and othei
cottons, $1,000,000; chinaware and
glass, $2,000,000; miscellaneous
items, $8,000,000. It is expected
that the revenue can be increased
by these amounts upon the basis of
the existing volume of importations,
but this is not an entirely safe cal
culation. Much Will depend upon
the extent to which the increase of
duties shall be anticipated and
importations be thereby lessened fot
some time after the new duties go
into effect. Ultimately, however,
when general prosperity is restored,
the estimates would doubtless be
realized, so that perhaps within a
year, at farthest, under the new
tariff, the treasury would be in
receipt af ample revenue, assuming,
of course, that there is no material
increase in the expenditures.
It is evidently the purpose to
frame a conservative measure that
shall be fair to all interests, and in
order to do this some interests must
be • disappointed. Excessive and
unreasonable demands will not be
complied with. There Continues to
be some uncertainty as to whether a
tariff bill on republican lines can
pass the senate, and undoubtedly a
hard fight will have to be made to
carry such a measure through that
body.—Omaha Bee.
La Grippe
If you have had the Grippe,
7SV snow its aches and paiiu,
“the fever, the chills, the cough,
the depressionr-you know
them all. The Grippe exhausts
the nervous system quickly,
lowers the vitality. Two
things should be done at once:
—the body must be strength
ened. and force must be given
to the nervous system. Cod-,
liver Oil will do the first: Hy
pophosphites the second. These
ate permanently andpleasantly
combined in Scott's Emulsion.
It lifts the despondency and
heals the inflamed membranes
of the throat and lungs.
But you need not nave LA
GRIPPE.
You can put your system in
a condition unfavorable to it.
You can have rich, red blood;
, resistive strength; steady brain
and nerves. Scott's Emulsion
prevents as well as cures.
And whether you send or go
for Scott's Emulsion, be sure
you get the genuine.

From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gundermsn, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this abstract: “I
have n» hesitation in recommending Dr.
King’s New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the cose of
my wife. While 1 was pastor of the
Baptist church at Rives Junction she
was brought kown with pneumonia suc
ceeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms
of coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive thorn. A friend
recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery;
t was quiok in its work and highly sat
isfactory in results.” Trial bottles free
at P. 0. Corrigan's drug store. Regular
sice 60 cents and $1.00. N
A few months ago, Mr. Byron Every,
of Woodstock, Mich., was badly afflicted
with rheumatism. His right leg was
swollen the full length, causing him
great suffering. He was advised to try
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. The first
bottle of it helped him considerably and
the second bottle effected a cure. The
86 and 60 cent sizes ere for sale by P. C
Corrigan’s.

bronchitis, asthma, croup, whooping
cough, and all diseases of the throat and
lungs, we potUioely guarantee Ballard's
norehound Syrup to be without an

In aupport of this statement we refer tc
every individual who has ever used it.
and to every druggist who bos ever sold
it. Such evidence is Indisputable. Prlct
