In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered fiver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of tne most compiicated and wonderful ihings ia existence. It is easily pot out of order. Greasy food, tou h food, sloppy food, bad sookery, tpental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and manY other thing 3 which ought not to be, have made the American pec pie a nation of dyspeptics. But Green’s August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy thit they can enjoy their meals and be happy Kemember:- No happiness without health.

Cleveland Before the People.

Lafayette Journal: The leading question before the oountry is so plain that it eannot be easily misnnderstood. All people with common sense know that it is a question of reducing taxation to the necessities of economical government. The uncommon sense of the stump speeches made by the Republican orators of the Senate has blinded no one. In President Cleveland the Democratic party has a leader who knows the truth and knows how to tell it. Men who lc re truth aad courage will rally, to him. The movement nas already begun in msny places.— The foundation of such associat ons S as the Reform Club of New York, is a movement that will result in drawing heavily.from the Republican party. Commenting on the effect of the stand made by the President, the New York Commercial Advertiser says of the message to congress: “That it has offended certain in - terests there can De no doubt.— Every coddled monopoly in thei

country is displeased and frightened. But th greater masses of the people are more th n pleased. Their intelligence commends and suppetts the simple and sensible' prepositions of the President that, haring more revenue than we know what to do with, it is time to «e----move some of the people’s burden by reducing taxation, and that in reducing taxation we should remove or reduce*those taxes which bear most heavily upon all the Seople, rather than those which o not effect the majority or hurt any worthy irterest. They wan 1 taxation reduced, and .hey are not willing to have it reduced by taking the taxes off whisky and tobacco, while leaving untouched those upon clothing,!lankets, salt, sugar too’s, ironware and the raw material so manufactured.” In the Senate Sherman and Frye have insisted that Mr. Cleveland is a “free-trader.” Free-trad- is the raw-head-and-bloody-bones” which serves the advocat. s of monopoly when they are at a loss for an argument, as they are in this case, when, even from the standpoint of Republican platforms and pledges, the P.esident’s recommendations should be carried out. Having pronounced him a free-trader, they must obstruct the proposed reduction of taxation, and the question then goes to the people. Before the people, the President’s recommendations will bear the most rigid analvsis and searching criticism. They will win vot's in New England, in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania itself. The Republican r>*rty has forced itself into a pos'tion where it must either attempt to justify taxation for surplus or the abolition of taxation on whisky and tobacco in order to prevent the cheapening of the necessari°s of life by lower taxes on them. No matter which horn of the dilemma ttjn Republicans take, they are at a disadvantage in playing pretext against principle. The result of such a contest is likely to show the most knowing American politicians when the peopL see something in tho fight worth fighting for.

WILKINSON.

We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the following extract from a letter to the Eldredge Manufacturing Co., Chicago, written by an English dealer in Sewing Machines: Gents: I have telegraphed you this day to send on as qnickl as possible 50 No. 2 tables and covers. I find I shall be out of these much sooner than the other styles. Tie stands and heads you can send at earliest convenience. I am very much pleased to say that these last hundred machines are highly satisfactory. For finish, smoothness and easy running, 1 really believe they are unequalled by any other Sewing Machine selling in this country. The machines require less preparation for delivery than any other machines I have handled during the whole course of my experience extending over 20 years. Yours Truiy,

Mrs. J. W. McEwen is agent for these machines in this county.— Call and see them before purchasing elsewhere.

THE WORKMAN’S GAIN.

The man who chews t( bacco constantly in this country, we are reliably informed, uses about a pound a month. Some use much more, others considerably less, but it is certainly not an underestimate to fix the average at a pound a month or twelve pounds a year.The tax paid to the United States is eight cents a pound. Blaine’s great scheme to help the workingmen would thus save them eight cents a month or ni lety-six cents—less than a dollar a year. It wo’d not save working women, who do not chew tobacco, a cent; but t en women hava no votes, and Blaine and the Republican party seem to have no use for women. We do not believe there is a sensible workingman in the United States who does honestly believe that the tax of eight cents a month he pays for chewing tobacco is a burden. He knows it is a luxury and it is a luxury he takes no pride in. Now the tax on common window glass is eighty-seven per cent. If the child of a workingman breaks two panes of glass h? has to pay by way of tax aim. st double what the glass should cost him. If he bu ’s for his wife a woolen

shawl costing two dollars he has to pay almost a dollar in taxes owipg to custom house duties On a pair of common worsted stockings 'he tariff tax is over ten cents. On his stockings alone asorkingman who chewed tobacco would save more money if President Cleveland’s plan was adopted than h° would if Blaine’s scheme became a law. His wife would net save a cent by abolishi ?g the tobacco tar. 4 She would save in mauagirg the household for a year a month’s wages f r her husband, if the tariff w s properlv reduced, as President Cleveland recommends. —Albany Argus.

When Spring Comes This is the way a horse and a poor blanket look at the end of winter; Why is it that of two horse blankets which look and feel equally well one won’t wear at all, and the other wears well ? This % Trade Mark^— Horse Blankets which are strong and have a reputation are always imitated in poor qualities which look like them, but having fewer warp threads are not as strong. Some dealers buy these poor imitations for a few cents less and by saying they are “just as good,” sell them at the same price as the strong blankets to parties who do not know the difference. You cannot tell whether horse blankets are strong by the look or feel, as the warp threads do not show on the face. How then are you to know? In order that you can tell a strong blanket from a weak one, the manufacturer of S/ A Horse Blankets sews the above S/± Trade Mark inside of each blanket. This is a guarantee that it is the strongest blanket made for the money and will wear well. Many poor imitations have been sold as 54 blankets. Remember none are genuine unless the $4 Trade Mark is sewed inside.
