through bankruptcy whenever your creditiore want to put you through, under the monstrous republican bankruptcy act now pending. There is a deficit of sooo,ooo in the Ohio stat) treasury. Gov. Bushnell says that it is a legacy from Governor McKinley’s administration. At this rate of deficiency for one state, how much shortage would McKinley have in the national treasury if he should be elected president?

Senators Hale and Chandler, high protectionists, are kicking because the iron mills in this country are selling armor plate to the Russian government at a Jess price than they sell in this country. Thus does the operation of the high protection system now and then cause heart burnings among its own advocates. Clarkson, of the republican national committee, says theMcKin 4 * ley campaign thus far has been “emotional.” To which the Chicago Chronicle retorts: “There is where he is mistaken. There is neither emotion nor magnetism in the thing. It is just as hard Biid solid and businesslike a campaign as a lot of combine manufacturers and $250,000 can make it.

An exchange says: “During the four yearß of Harrison's administration the surplus revenues of the government were $128,000,000,” “This is a good example of the way republican papers instruct (?) theii readers-by telling half truths Here is the whole truth. During the four years of Cleveland’s first administration the surplus revenues amounted to $396,500,000* The surplus revenues for the four years of the Harrison administration were $272,000,000 less. The surplus of tLe first year of the Harrison administration was $85,000,000; of the second $27,000,000; $10,000,000 the third, and $2,300,000 the fourth. Then came the deficit|of s69,ooo,ooo|before the demcrats had passed any legislation a deficit sadc leu on the democratic administration by its repuclican predecessor. Under the first yea r of real democratic rule this deficit was reduced to $43,500,000, a d month by month it is so rapidly decreasing that it is not unlikely that by the end of the present year th= tevenues will equal the expenditures.

The Business Man's Statement. LaFayette, litd., May 2, 1894. Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: Gentlemen— lt is with pleasure that I can conscientiously say a good word for LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. For more than a year I was troubled with indigestion and stomach disorders. Various remedies which I tried gave me no relief, until one day last summer I was told by a brother drummer of the virtues of LYON’S SEVEN WONDEES. I concluded to try it, and am happy to say one box, oosting only one dollar, entirely cured me. To those who suffer as I did I would strongly advise them to use LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. Yours truly, John R. Spencer, State Agent Royal Baking Powder Company.

vided the republican administration with a surplus of $35,0e0,000 for its first year of power. Republic can legislation provided the deni' ooratic administration in its first year with a deficit of $96,000,000. It is true that the bonded debt is increased, but who is responsible for the legislation that made it necessary? Is it not true that Secretary Foster was preparing to issue bonds to maintain the gold reserve before the expiration of Proffident Harrison’s administra > tion? Why was suoh a course necessary if the financial condition of the cocntry was good at that time? The democratic party lias enacted no financial legislation except to repeal that ‘cowardly makeshift,’ known ns the Sherman silver purchasing law. The legislation of the billion dollar congress brought about nil the ills fiom which ti e country has suffered during the past three yearn The McKinley tariff—a law designed for protection and not for revenue, .reduced government receipts below expenditures and the Sherman silver purchasing law threatened the sta. bility of our monoy system. The government has been compelled to sell bonds to maintain the purchasing power of nil forms ot money in circulation among the people. It is unfortunate for the country that this has been necessary. But what party is responsible for the enactment of laws that made it necessary?”

The Wilson Tariff. The Wilson tariff, iccording to the platform of the Indiana repub licans, “has almost destroyed our American industries”.. meaning, specifically, American manufactures. The official reports of the treasury department show that for the nine months of the fiscal year ending with March the exports of American manufactures reached the unprecedented total of $163,187,926, which is five millions more than the figures for the whole twelve months of 1892, when McKirley reciprocity was in full blast; and the fist al year 1891-92 was the “crack year” of McKinleyism... Pittsburg Post.

The Chicago Times-Herald of Monday last contained a write-up of Colorado’s prominent women, among them Mrs. Jas. B. Belford, sister of the editor of this paper. It says: “By common consent Mrs. J. B. Belford, wife of Colorado’s excorgressman, J. B. Belford, is acknowledged one of the ablest women in Colorado. Her honors are many, but aie justly hers, and the love and admiration r iven her bv her brothers and sisters of the centennial state, is only limited by their number. Mrs. Belford is a native of Pennsylvania, bur the opening of the war found her a girlish bride, battling vith the hardships of life in Laporte. Ind. There in a little home of two rooms Mrs. Belford and her gifted young husband entertained in those stirting times the great men of our nation. In 1870 the little family came to Colorado to try their fortunes, and located at the then wonderful mining camp of Central City, in Gilpin county. Through all the vicissitudes of pioneer life in the far west, Mrs. Belford never lost sight of the high standard she had * marked out for herself,|but gener-

ously helping others on. After a number of years spent in Washington, this gifted woman returned la the 6tate of her adoption, and entered heart and soul into every progressive movement. A wise and scholarly woman, she is to-* day one of the most eloquent speakers and writers in the state, yet so modest and unassuming that she alone is unconscious of this fact. Feeling deeply upon the suffrage question she was its earnest advocate, and has done much to make the new rights of woman a blessing to the state.” During the war years our sister resided in Alonticello, not in Laporte as above Btated.

In t'heseveu months ended Jan. 81, 1896, the exports of manutactures from the United States amounted in value to $126,892,461, against $104,607,101 during the corresponding period in the yoar previous. This is the largest exportation of American manufactures for the same numbei |of months in the country's history. The year 1896 began most auspiciously with exports of American manufactures, amounting in value in January to $18,782,547, against $18,101,788 iu January, 1895. At this rate of increase the exports of American manufactures for the current year will exceed #850,000,000. increasing trade ’•cquiies more shelving in Judg* Hoaly’s store. « Bpitier &Kif lit: “Come in boys.
