No period in the history of the United States will compare with the past year in debt paying. s Why? ~ , Forgetfulness is sometimes a virtue, but what voter can forget the calamity of Grover Cleveland’s election 1892? It was all along feared that the Democratic politicians would not' he satisfied with the conduct and result of the war. The majority of the next House of Representatives will not be com*, posed of men who shouted to bring or. the war with Spain and then voted to impede its progress. Joe Chamberlain has given us a few words of advice concerning territorial expansion As Joseph had the good taste to marry an American wife he will not bo considered impertinent.

The volume of payments through the clearing houses for the month of July is greater than in the same month of any previous year. How much have the critics of * the administration done to alleviate the suffering of the troops? This is an excellent place to utilize ' this interrogatioh point. The time for military action is about closed so we may expect activity on the part of the Demo- : cratic managers in telling the country how they supported and conducted the war. Pennsylvania employs more people in the shops and factories than the entire thirteen southern states combined, and consequencly pays more wages to labor than the total of all the southern states. The New York Democrats are kept very busy with their endeavor to dodge the Chicago platform. However, platform dodging is one of the accomplishments of the Democratic party and the New Yorkers were always expert in that line. Let some enterprising Democratic statistician figure out what the war with Spain would have cost the United States on a basis of Democratic financiering such as President Cleveland gave the country in 1895. The Chicago Democrats are emulating the example of their New York brethren and are trying to keep Col. Bryan and national issues out of this year’s campaign. If this thing continues Col. Bryan will have to go over to the Populist party in order to have his financial views thoroughly exploited. The middle-of-the-road Populists have at last verified the charge made by the Republican managers in 1896 that they were not in favor of free silver, .but were working for the issueof fiat paper currency. Now they have shown their purpose in the. platform just published. There is not much hope for the white metal in what they say, but all hope seems to linger around the full legal-tender greenback, once knojni to be worth but 34 cents on the dollar. Thirty-six years ago last Saturday was the great day of the great battle of Anteitam. There is one fact regarding that battle which the ‘‘leprous” press should take note of. This press which, for political purposes mainly, raved and raged a,t the president before the Spanish war, for not beginning it sooqer, and while it lasted for not needlessly sacrificing tens of thousands of brave American soldiers in the swamps around Htrvana. is now trying to destroy the moral effect of our great and cheaply Won victory, and at the same time to dishonor the name es America before the world, by its wicked clamor

Out in Kansas lives a happy wife. She writes: “ I have used Mother’s Friend before two confinements. The last time I had twins, and was in labor only a few minutes. Suffered very little.” The reason why Mother’s Friend does expectant mothers so much good is because it is an external liniment, to be applied upon the outside, where much of the strain comes. It helps because the pores of the skin readily absorb it, and it comes into direct contact with and is absorbed by the parts involved. Morning sickness is quickly banished, and nervousness is kept completely away. The sense of dread and foreboding is not experienced, even during labor itself. Confinement is short and almost without pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best of all, Mothers Friend benefits the unborn just as much as the expectant mother, and when the little one comes it will be strong, lusty and healthy. Druggists sell Mother’s Friend for $1 • bottle. Send for our free book on the subject, finely illustrated. THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO. ATLANTA, QA.

against the. conduct of the war. It raves about the needless sacrifice of lives in the recent war, a war which accomplished greater, results for human progress and brought more glory to the winning side, in proportion to loss of life than BDy other war in all history. The fact in connection with the battle of Antietam, to which the attention of the raisers of this treasonable howl is direoted is this. The loss in that one day. of Sept. 17, 1862; not on both sides, and not on one side, but among the soldiers of a single northern state, were Massachusetts, greater than the entire loss of life on the American side during the whole Spanish war.

Joins the Republicans. The Plymouth News: —Maurice Thompson of Crawfordsville, has published in the Indianapolis Journal an address to young men, advising them to join the party of empire, patriotism and progress. He recalls the facts of history to prove that most of the territory of the United States was acquired "by conquest and its policy has been extension of empire. He believes the Democratic party will make its campaign on the discredited issue of free silver and opposition to territory conquered from Spain. He urges young men between the ages of 20 and 85 years, to be patriotic have faith in the government and support the party that looks to the future instead of the past. Mr. Thompson is a Georgian, who served in the Confederate army, and soon after removed to Indiana. He is a gentleman of strong mind and fine literary attainments; one of the most scholarly and popular authors in the west. In 1878 he was elected as a Democrat to the state legislature, in which he served two sessions. Subsequently he was elected state geologist. Until the present time he has always acted with the Democratic party and the withdrawal of his support in so public a manner will exercise a strong influence.

A Critical Time During tne Battle of Santiago Sick Or Well A Rush Night And Day. The Packers at the Battle of Santiago tie Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting- Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago, Da Cuba, on July 23d, says: “We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. Inhere were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and 1 know in fourcasesit absolutely saved life.” The above letter -was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa.
