Liver regulator, tne -king-ok Liver Medicines Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluttish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste that should be carried off remains in the body and poisons the whole system. ‘That dull, heavy feeling is due to a torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an ^occasional dose of Simmons Layer Regulator and you’ll get rid of these troubles, and give tone to the whole system. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package has the Red Z stamp on the wrapper. J. H.

POLITICAL COWAUD& i Rm4 AMd to to S4MNU •Ml AbonlMWi We are al « lo«8 to understand the unwillingness of sncli Republicans as Senator Sherman and Mr. Reed to vote for a bond issue specifically payable in gold, so long us they are willing, as both of them are, to vote for bonds payable in ooin. Both of these gentlemen Would declare with emphasis that the "coin" bonds now outstanding authorised by the acts of 1875 and 1870 are payable in gold, if the holder wished gold at the time of payment If asked to defend this declaration—which is a perfectly sound one — both of them would doubtleus say. as Mr. Sherman has already said repeatedly, that the only ooin in circulation in 1870 and 1876, and the only coin meant by congress, was gold, and that silver waanot then being ooined and was never thought of as a medium of payment Today, however, there are vast piles of silver dollars in |he treasury whioh by law are payment in full, when tendered, for all debts publio and private For this reason, while there is no shadow of doubt that bonds issued under the acts of 1876 and 1870, whether now outstanding or hereafter issued, are payable in gold, there would be room for discussion, at least regarding “coin” bonds pow authorized. Neither Mr. Sherman nor Mr. Reed would directly cast discredit on the honor of the United States government Why should they wish to do so indirectly? Why should they he willing to leave any possible chance for such a thing? Is it political cowardice, the lingering fear of the zealots and idiots who will vote for their own wild ideas, while honest men will vote what bears the party label, however dangerous it may be? If so, it is high time that these gentlemen should be taught a lesson. Respectable voters will not always flock like sheep after party leaders who are afraid to act squarely and openly.—New York Time*. KpUi the Difference. Meat's am o»rtR PERCALEi 5 down to yers ~ST

Visit the stores and see for yourself how the prices have been reduced since last year.—New York World. j The Truth About Sugar Bounty. Hon. Tom Johnson says this is the story of our sugar legislation: “A certain lot of men, many of them elected by the use of money, wanted to get credit for their party for reducing the price of sugar and so put raw sugar on the free list This cheapened the price of sugar, but in order to keep up the system of robbery that the duty involved they agreed to take out of the pockets of the people some $12,000,000 a year and hand it over to tbe owners of a few Louisiana plantations—that is, give it to themselves for congressmen and senators were and are among the largest owners of sugar lands ” This is a truthful narration. There had to be robbery in some form, and the bounty appeared.—St Louis Post-Dispatch. Happily We Were Spared Thia. Had Mr. Harrison had his way the United States would now have Queen Lil on their pension list besides having had to pay the dusky princess a big sum of money. And that would not have been alL They would have had Hawaii saddled upon them, with the necessity of spending more to defend it every year than the new navy is worth. As it is, the old gal has abdicated—stepped down and out given up the ghost, acknowledged the republic and not been paid a cent We always said that Mr. Harrison was an expensive luxury.— New York Mercury. Iiouka Different Now. In the estimation of the tariff organs the free admission of wool and the large reduction of duties on woolen fabrics have been of little benefit to the masses of American consumers. Hut curiously enough, the same organs saw immense benefits to American consumers in the free admission of raw sugar and in such an adjustment of duty on refined sugar as to put $20,000,000 a year into the coffers of the Sugar trust and give that monopoly absolute control of the home market—Philadelphia Record. Gold Bescrve Under Harrison. During President Harrison’s administration $82,000,000, being all but $8,000,000 of the gold surplus above the reserve, disappeared from the treasury. That was the first stage of the panic. It was Republican in its origin, the result of Republican quack legislation on the coinage and the tariff. —^Chicago Herald. ~ Another Nall In the Cofltxu By electing Knnte Nelson to the senate the Minnesota Republicans have driven another nail into the coffin of McKinleyism. Nelson is a tariff reformer of the redhot type. In fact, he comes dangerously near being a free trader.— New York Mercury. Heed to tbe Keseue. It is said that Reed will “come to the rescue”' by merely increasing tariff rates. MoKinley himself could do that in the speaker’s place. Thomas must do something remarkable if he is to keep bis boom in shape- —*(?t. Louis Post-Dispatoh.

TARIFF PROPHETS. THEY CAN'T MAKE RESULTS AGREE WITH PREDICTIONS* Contrary to toe Wlmtm, Mm Tie Hate lodoatry 8m rraytnd Mv Mm WUmb BUI—Self PtfMdMKX too Tree One of the most amnsing features to be found in the protectionist journals is the seemingly irrepressible oonfiict that rages from day to day between the news editors and the tariff editor* says the Philadelphia Record. The neoessity for printing the news most be a source of great perplexity to the gentlemen who in the editorial columns are engaged in depicting what they call the “murderous effects of the present tariff. ’’ To open the paper in the morning and find news dispatches that totally discredit the editorial effort on another page is, to say the least, disoonraging. This, however, is what usually happens The industries that the tariff editors declare to be dead—killed by the Wilson tariff law—the news editors declare to be alive and kicking, and, strange to say, even mare prosperous than when McKinley* ism was squeezing the consumers' pockets till they had nothing left to buy with. The tin plate industry is most prominently in evidence just now. When MeKinleyism was in force, it was a sickly infant, squalling for more and more pap, and the tariff Organs predicted that it would instantly fall dead if the Wilson bill should beoome a law. But it has not fallen dead. On the contrary, since coddling has stopped, it has grown robust and strong It has learned to depend upon its own energy and skill, and it is now able to get up and do its own fighting, as the news from Wales shows, to the great confusion of the tariff prophets. A dispatch from Washington says that evil times have fallen on South Wales as the result Of the establishment of tin plate works in this country. United States Consul Howells, at Cardiff, has made an exhaustive report on the subject He says that until reoently South Wales enjoyed a monopoly of the tin plate trade, and the people of the United States were its best customers, but that since we have undertaken to supply our own wants in this as we have long done in other branches of the iron and steel trade the American demand has greatly fallen off. The Welsh manufacturers, he continues, take a very pessimistic view of the future and see no hope of brighter prospects in the face of the probability of the American demand growing smaller.. Hopes were entertained by all classes that the Wilson tariff would immediately usher in a revival of trade, but hope has given way to despair, and throughout the district one hears nothing but rumors of the stoppage of works The consul incloses an extract from a looal newspaper, which says: “The American tin plate works, ! which it was thought would have to stop, are going on, as vigorously as ever, competing for and often securing orders which formerly came to this country. The most striking feature, however, is the seriously diminishing call for Welsh terneplates, the American works being equal to supplying almost the whole trade, and though there have been large shipments of finished black plates it is not thought that the trade will continue, but that it will be gradually absorbed^ by the American mills. “ So once more the news editor knocks out the tariff editor. The American tin plate industry is not yet dead. In despite of editorial prophecies, it has out loose from mamma’s apron strings, and finding that it can walk alone has struck out for itself like a little man. As it grows it finds that self dependence is the true secret of success, and that a beneficent system of taxation that promotes the welfare of the whole community is the best guarantee of its own prosperity. '_

Putina Misrepresentation. It is a pitiful sophistication of partisanship to say that the gold drain upon the treasury grows out of a revenue deficit and could be readily met if revenue should be redundant If the treasury should be stuffed full of greenbacks, treasury notes and silver certificates, of what avail would it all be to pay demanded gold? No additional tax that congress might levy—on beer or wool or what not—would suffioe to keep up a supply of gold for the redemption of notes that are reissued as fast as they are redeemed.—Philadelphia Record. t Settled American Policy- * These Hawaiian resolutions are in exact accord with not only the well and wisely settled policy of the government of the United States from the time of Washington, but they are in conformity with the doctrine of the oomity of nations. President Cleveland has been rightly commended by the senate for maintaining the country’s established policy in respect to its noninterference in the affairs of independent foreign na- j tions. —Philadelphia Ledger (Rep.). We're Still Prodncta# Iron. The Iron Age notes that pig iron is , being produced in this country at the ; rate of 9,000,000 tons annually, and ! this, too, in the face of a reduction of 40 per cent in the duty imposed by the McKinley bill. It is suoh innocent little items as this that cause Majah McKinley to look with misgivings to the future and to dream of 1896 and Tom Reed, Bob Lincoln and other more or less weakkneed protectionists.—New York Mercury. Don’t Like the Colored Folks. There seems to be no sympathy whatever amneg the Republican senators for that unfortunate colored lady, Queen Liliuokalani In fact, there are Republican leaders who always appeared opposed to the holding of offices by colored persons even in our own country.—St jLouis Post-Dispatoh.

CORRUPTION’S LEGACY l*t mart rtuuKtol Troabto* th* Result «f Republican Misrule. A Republican organ explain* oar fhumrrial pickle in ihe following sentence: “The fact of most importance with regard to the existing financial troubles of the government is that they are primarily and principally attributable to Democratic incapacity in the management of public affairs. ” Let us see how this bald and unconvincing statement bears analysis A large part of onr financial troubles has been charged to the Sherman silver purchase bill, passed by the Reed congress and repealed by the present congress. Was this measure “primarily and principally attributable to Democratic incapacity?” The Republican administration of Benjamin Harrison, with a Republican majority in congress, saddled appropriations on the government which ate np the surplus accumulated by a Democratic administration and left the treasury with a deficit Is this “primarily and principally attributable to Democratic incapacity?” Our present absurd financial system, which is an inverted pyramid of obligations resting on a small block of gold, is the result of almost 80 years of Republican control of the government Is this “primarily and principally attributable to Democratic incapacity?” The Democratic party has shown a discouraging incapacity to meet some of the difficulties of the government but it is hard to determine how much of this is chargeable to lack of wisdom and how much to themonstron^evils of Republican misrule and corruption. It requires extraordinary capacity for reform on the part of the Democrats to offset the extraordinary capacity for bad legislation developed by the Republicans during their long lease of power.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A WAIL FROM LOUISIANA. Incidentally It Shows How Protection Enriched American Labor. Hark from Louisiana and the McKinleyites a doleful sound! One of the local organs of the plan for taxing everybody for the benefit of somebody contains a dispatch from New Orleans noting that some 500 Italian laborers have left that port for their own land. * ‘These people, ’ ’ the dispatch says, “came to this state to work on the sugar plantations and are an industrious, frugal class. Under the workings of the McKinley law they were paid good wages and were enabled to lay np something for a rainy day. Since the passage of the iniquitous Wilson bill and the abrogation of the bonnty things have been going from bad to worsa The more intelligent of these people blame the party in power for having virtually destroyed the sugar industry and in con sequence forced wages for farm labor far below theactual cost of living. ” * Why this dolorous cry abont the poor Italian laborer? Wasn’t the McKinley law designed to protect the American laborer from competition with the pauper labor of Europe? But the wall goes np that the panper labor of Europe in the Louisiana cauebrakes is not protected by the Wilson law, but was protected by McKinleyism. What would have become of American labor under the McKinley law if it operated to draw hither the lazzaroni of Italy? The wailer in this case wails too much. It gives away totally the claim always advanced bythe Republican party that high protection was designed solely to enrich, ennoble and elevate American labor. In this case it was enriching, if the report is true, Italian labor.—Chicago Times. Wilson Bill Bargain Counter. ANOTHtt HOKTION BUM® SHIMS DOV.MTO 7iCT» LAVT via*

Dry goods are easier to boy this year than they were last year.—New York World. A Bargain For Spoils. The ooalition between the Popnlists and Republicans of North Carolina is perfect in its harmony Each of the candidates for United States senator received exactly the san e votes, all the Republicans voting for the Populist and all the Populists voting for the Republican Such fidelity to an immoral and unprincipled political bargain, has rarely been witnessed among partisans, but the oohesive power of public spoils is immense.—Philadelphia Record. What the Future Has la Store. Secretary Carlisle avers that the United States treasury will contain a clear surplus of $21,000,000 at the close of this year. With a robust surplus in the treasury, the gold drain turned this way and the governmet it credit saved by the vigorous financier! ng of President Cleveland before the Republican congress gets to work, the year 1896 will open with a decided change in the political outlook.—Chi cage Herald.
