Remarkable Springs.
Central City, Neb., Aug., 3. This
town may soon have a fame like that of
Colfax and Waukesha. On the bank of
a slough on the farm of P. C. Mwore. two
miles west of here, are several springs.
They have been known to exist for years,
but it was not until very recently that
their waters gave evidence of curative
j)overs. Philip Donahue, aged about
fifty years, has suffered much from rheu
matism, and recently tried drinking and
bathing in them. He now avers that he
feels like a new man. When he com
menced using the water his hands were
covered with warts, which have now dis
ajp: a red. Whether anything will be
done to develop these springs or whether
their waters really possess healing pow
ers is as yet a matter of conjecture, but
many people are taking quite an interest
in them. Others beside Donahue will
testify to relief from rheumatism after
using the water.

Palatial Parlors

carpets, curtains, etc.. gives Plattsmouth
one of the finest dental offices to be found
in the State. Dr. Marshall i3 to be con
gratulated on his fine practice, which
makes possible the fitting out of so nice
an establishment.
The democratic party is afllicted with
a hereditary mania ou the subject of
taxes. It ha9 always been the cry of that
party when opposing any species of rev
enue legislation that the dear people
were being taxed to death. John C.
Calhoun when he was leading the Afiican
slave interests of the cotton producing
section of the union, was against high
taxes. The protective tariff which was
building up the New England states and
causing the north to ''blossom like the
rose"' was an infamous measure, in the
eyes of the bosses of the auction block.
They woald'nt stand it and nullification
was the order of the day; old Genl.
Jackson was not the doughface our
northern democratic presidents have al
ways been, he understood the bulldozer
of the cotton plantation and nullification
was stamped out for the time being. The
cry of high taxes continued however
with that party until 1SG0, when the
slave owner seeing the ultimate triumph
of the north in every branch of prosperi
ty resolved to cut lose and destroy the
union; still "high taxes" and oppression
iolce.

was the cry. When Mr. Lincoln and his
supporters were grooping in the dark to
discover ways and means to replenish a
bankrupt treasury to clothe and feed the
union armies and furnish them pay, every
step was opposed by the democratic party
with the same old cry of high taxes.
When the Morrill Tariff Measure was
forced it shocked the democratic con
science and meant "tax robbery." When
the internal revenue tax was enacted
every copperhead in the north howled
about the violated constitution. Their
party was in arms righting to destroy and
that cry of robbery again-t the "war tax"
has been continued until now when the
republicans and prohibitionists propose
its repeal, the democratic party suddenly
discover it is just the tax to leave upon
the statute books. The fact is the inter
nal revenue tax, in the opinion of the
free trader, is the logical result of free
trade. Protection for the purpose of
governmental expenses only, is illogical
and absurd to the free trader; yet, he re
cognizes in that step a complete breaking
down of that industrial system. A solid
south has alwas detested on sectional
grounds, "for revenue only" means simp
ly a means of producing sufficient money
to par the bare running expenses of the
government. To foster an industry by
imposing a protective duty is all wrong
with the revenue only advocate and if
his revenue only plan does incidentally
foster any industry at the expense of the
people he is illogical and unfair if he is
not opposed to it and the only consistent
policy he can advocate is to raise that
"revenue only" by some fair means which
does not piotcct and foster any industry
at the expense of another, or of the peo
ple. When this statesman is scratched
deeper than the skin he admits, that di
rect taxation is the logical sequence to
his proposition. When pressed to ex
plain how it comes that, prosperity has
been the result ot a system of protection,
always, in this couutry he avoids by re
plying "Oh well! we would have been
prosperous anyway." When reminded
that his cry of high taxes is a creation of
his brain, he shouts that the clear far
mer and the workingman is taxed by an
unseen hand for almost everything they
Lave to purchase. When reminded that
the necessaries of life arc as cheap under
our protective system as they are in Great
Britain while the woringman possesses
immense ed vantages socially and physic
ally over his free tradj brother in Great

j Britain, that he has better wages, more
j to eat, better clothing, free schools for
: his children; that he can acquire a home
in this country, as the lruits ot Ji is better
wages, and that instead of a state of serf
dom, like the English operative, he at
once advances to a stale of manhood in
this country; he at once commences to
rant about trusts and corporations and the
general ruin Americans are threatened
with by that policy under which we
haye advanced to the very first place
among tiie nations of the earth. The
poor old democratic is a fraud and we
think the peoule have discovered it.
CLAUSE FROM THE CONFEDEll
A T E CONS TITUTIOy.
The English and democratic press seem
to be furnishing the best arguments the
republicans could possibly wish for. In
another column will be found most valu
able extracts from the English press, but
of even greater in the following clause
from the confederate constitution, and
the accompanying comments as published
in the New York Sun. Tiie clause from
the confederate con.-titution is as follows:
The congress shall have power
To lay and collect taxes, duties, im
posts and excises for revenue necessary
to pay the debts, provide for the com
mon defense, and carry on the govern
ment of the confederate states, but no'
bounties shall be granted from the treas-1
ury; nor shall any duties or taxes on !
importations from foreign relations he j
laid to promote or foster any hraivh of
iiuhistry, and all duties, imposts and ex
cises shall be uniform throughout the
confederate states.
And this is what the Su?i says:
"This is free trade pure and simple,
and many of the gc-ntleinen who framed
and supported the confedeiate constitu
tion having become influential 111 ttiC
house of representatives, they have nat
urally endeavored in the Mills tariff bill
to apply as far as they found practicable
under the different circumstances in
which they are now placed, the same idea
which animated them in drawing up the
constitutional clause which we have just
quoted."
Further comment is hardly necessary.
If the leaders now were only as manly
and bold as were those who framed and
fought for the constitution from which
the clause above quoted is taken, the
battle of ballots in 1888 would result in
as decisive a result as did the battle of
bullets in I860. Tariff Buliten.

"Try Ayer's Pills"
I'ui Rheumatism, Nfiirali.-v, ami Gout.
Stephen Lansing, of Yoiikrrs, N. Y.f
says: " Iieeonmienilcd as a cure for
chronic Costiveness, Ayer's I 'ills have,
relieved me from that trouble and also
from Gout. If every vi tim of this dis
ease would heed only three words of
mine, I could banish Gout from the land.
These words would be 'Try Ayer'a
rills.' "
"Jiy the use of Ayer's Tills alone, I
cured myself permanently of rheuma
tism which Lad troubled ine several
months. These Tills are at ouce harniles.s
and effectual, and, I believe, would
prove a specilie in all cases of incipient
Rheumatism.
No medicine could have served me in
Letter stead." C. C. Tock, Corner,
Avoyelles I'ari.di, La.
C. F. IIopldriH, Nevada City, writes :
"I Lave used Ayer's Pills for sixteen
years, and I think they are the Lest Pills
in the world. We keep a box of them
iu the house all the time. Thev Lave
cured me of sick headache and neuralgia.
Since taking Ayer's Tills, 1 have been
free from these complaints."
"I Lave derived great benefit from
Ayer's i'ills. Five years ao I was
taken so ill with rheumatism that I was
unable to do any work. 1 took three
boxes of Ayer's I'ills and was entirely
cured. Since tliat time. I am never
without a box of these pills." Peter

Some high toned tailor in Omaha ha9
asserted that he keeps only English goods
on his tables for his tony customers
which fact the democratic branch of
the Omaha World at ence announces as a
brilliant argument in favor of free trade.
Another tailor in the same city promptly
announces that he keeps the same Eng
lish goods on his counter, and charges
just half as much for the same suit of
clothes as the fir.st tailor does. What all
this has to do with free trade the tailors
aforesaid do not pretend to inform the
public and democratic branch of "The
World" has left it in darkness. English
goods are "English you know" and if the
young gentlemen of Omaha desire to pay
Ci for a suit of clothes simply for
the "brand," no free trader ought to ob
ject surely! They pay for the luxury and
the "poor working man" is not concerned
one way or the other. It shows the boys
get good wages or they could'nt patron
ize such high toned shop keepers, and
that is about all there is in it. Yet, wo
don't object to such free trade or "rer
enue reform" arguments and we are pret
ty sure that sensible people are not dis
turbed by it.
