The Chicago later Ocean is getting off so ne of the linest political cartoons ever •jssued by a paper in this conntry. That

Fridays issue was called "The Triplet iiffieulty" and represented "Uncle Sam" Hying three howling infants with cavern•m mouths wide spread before the Presits:ir. who is busy -writing. I'ucle Sam -f.v-'iaims "look here Grover, can't yon ilc -omething for me!' t'irover, "I have already announced that in such cases I can do nothing moro than write a courteous letter. Uncle Sam looks miserable. The babies are labeled D:'iicit, Doubt and Depression and are pulling vigorously at his hair and whisker. Just over Grover's head on the wall hangs a motto "In Gold We Trust.".

Tin- United States Leather company, iveil known as the Leather Trust, has raided the price of leather, and if it should be kepi up it would raise the price of shoes, especially the cheaper grades. The TNINT claims it is on account of a scarcity of hides but that claim will be knocked out like the claim of the Beef Trust that, the high price of beef was caused by a scarcity of cattle. There are stringent auti trust laws but the trusts thrive and control prices just the une, as Attorney General Oluey is a trust lawyer and evidently stands in. The people however have stood the "stand and deliver business as long as they care to and propose to cut off any political party that dots not enforce the laws against trusts.

AEI. the daily papers this week had au account of the way the Morgan-Itoth-chiid syndicate was preparing to do- the American people again. They are buying up all the gold produced in this country by giving a premium on it, iu some

•cases running to a cent and a half, and I

as soon as they have the yellow metal well cornered they will pail the strings and the' U. S. treasury gold reserve, which now amounts to $9:3,000,000, will disappear very quickly. The bond syndicate now have a contract with Cleveland and Carlisle whereby they are to have any ibo'hds issued before October 1st at the Tate they last sold at. The syndicate .made $9,000,000 ofl' of the last purchase. When an ordinary syndicate holds a man iap and takes his money it is called robbery, but when a syndicate holds the government up it is called financiering. One goes to the penitentiary if caught, and tbe other just keeps on robbing. The American people, however, will notmuch longer put people in charge of the govment who either have not the capacity or inclination to ward off these highwaymen and blood-suckers, or else they stand in •with them. It will be remembered that it was Cleveland's former law partner, Stetson, that did much of the negotiating •whereby the syndicate scooped $9,000,000 off the government. How was the swag divided? It is an interesting question.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only oLe way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafuess is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, aud when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Dear Sir: I want to say to you that I believe you have the best Kidney and Liver cure on earth. I was troubled for 10 years with Kidney and Liver disease, was unable to work a great deal ot' my time on account of chronic diarrhoea. I had tried several good physicians and could get no cure. About Jan. 19th, 189-5, I was induced by your agent, Mr. T. I). Cotton to buy your Acme Kidney and Liver cure and after using the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I continued the use and find myself entirely cured. Iu fact have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

years everything I could hear of aud received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bk Uler trouble of which 1 was also a suil'erer ami at present believe I am entirely cured. I can heartily recommend your Acme Kidney and Liver Cure to like sufferers Yours Truly.

MOSEYMAXlMi ARTS.

THE CITY'S SIGHTS AND THE COUN-

TRY MERCHANT.

Madison C. Peters Renounces Some lousi

ness Custom!)—Young: Men limned In

Their Employers' Interests Heartless Devotees of Mammon.

A few nights ago I stood in a crowd awaiting entrance to one of tho public halls of New York city. I overheard a young man say to his friend: "Two of our customers are coming down from New Hampshire tomorrow. They have never been in the city before, and mv

I have been reliably informed, and my information has been confirmed with innumerable testimonies, that largo wholesale houses have entertainers attached to their establishments whoso business it is to personally conduct tho unprincipled country customers through the questionable resorts of the city. I have been informed by men high ofiicial authority that many merchants approve of the dives and tho gambling hells for the sake of their country

cus-

tomers. The thousands of strangers who visit New York city every day contribnte by far tho largest share of support toward the houses of mlamy and tho gambling hells. The occasional visitor to New York city knows moro of the dark and seamy side ot our city life than New Yorkers themselves.

tho

people from the country who emuo to town wouldn't bid good by to their religion when they leave home, New Y"ork would be quite a respectable place. I would suggest to the country parsons that they preach sermons to their merchants on how to behave themselves when they go to the city.

It may be interesting for tho people of the country to know that the salesmen connected with our wholesale houses, to maturo tho country merchant's custom, call to their aid the social glass, but moro frequently by piloting them to the seenos of vice.

This evil may be illustrated by a single examplo. A drummer lor one of our wholesale houses was discharged for his dissipation, and he returned upon his employer the following terrible retort: "Sir, I came into your service uncorrupt in principles and in morals, but tho rules of your houso required me to spend my evenings at places of public

of customers. To accomplish mj' work in your service I was obliged to drink "with them and join with them in their pursuit of pleasure. It was not my choice, but the rifle of tiie houso. weufc with them to the theater and to the billiard table, but it was

choice.

I did not wish to go. I went in your service. It was not. my pleasure so to do, but I was the conductor and companion of 'tho simple ones,' void alike of understanding and of i".«in«'iplo their sinful pleasures and deeds of deeper darkness, that I might retain them as your customers. Your interest required it. I have added thousands of write* to the point: dollars to the profits of your trade, but at what expense you now see, and I know too well. You have becomo wealthy, but I am poor indeed. And now tite, aud found nc re.-uit this cruel dismissal from your employ is I have used other remedy tho recompense I receive for a character ruined and prospects blasted iu helping to make you a rich man.

It is not for me to say how far this practice prevails of which this letter speaks, but of tho hundreds of young men who crowd our hotels and hang around the places of public resort as drummers for their respective houses in the busy seasons, who can doubt many of them are drawn unto destruction, encouraged by the employer, who, wlnlo bo may not directly require such service, smiles approval. I take tho stand between these young men and their employers, and say to tho latter that you have no right in any way to countenance such arts as tho letter mentions for the purpose of bringing customers to your stores. It may bo true that you have never instructed your salesmen to drink with strangers, but they surely could not long engage in this practice and you not know it. There is no difference in morals between sanctioning a thing directly aud winking at it. It is truo that it is but common courtesy to supply the stranger iu tho city with a guide, but why not show tho strangers the great and good things of tho city. Whence your authority to send your clerks on this sightseeing business? If the stranger must see the questionable resorts of the city, why don't you go yourself or send your own son? Can there be two opinions as to the criminality cf tho firm mentioned in the above letter? The ruin of that young man lies at the door of that house, and hundreds of young men in this city go to destruction every year just ip that way. And when they have so debauched the young men that they are no longer fit to be in their employ they consummate their iniquity by disgracing them with discharge and sending them forth to break the heart of the mother that bore them, and perhaps down to a drunkard's grave. Oh, ye heartless devotees of mammon, the blood of these young men cries to heaven for vengeance, the anguish of those broken hearted mothers pierces the ear of God, aud sure as God you must some day confront your victims before that tribunal, where "the rust of your cankered gold shall be a witness against you, and shall burn your flesh as it were firo."

I wish to be charitable and "want to believe that this iniquity is chargeable upon but few firms of good standing in thetiommercial world. But I would like to enforce this principle upon merchants of every class: Your responsibility as to your salesmen Is not restricted to the time they spend at the store. Know What is going on after business hours. Interest yourself in them. Caution them ngainst corrupting companions and vicious amusements.
