Some of those who formerly oritioized Mark Hanna says that he grew daring his pablio career. Doubtless bis strength increased with nis hardens, bat his detractors were compelled to do most of the growing in order to appreoiate the man as he always was.

There is just as much reason to believe Demooratio declarations and promises in this campaign as there is to believe that the prioe of wheat add the prioe of silver go hand in hand in the same direction —just as much and no more.

Whatever the opposition many have to offer on the tariff question in this campaign all the voters need to do to get at the truth of the matter is to remind himself that they told ns the same thing in 1892. Then when they get into by obtaining office under faSg pretenses, their promises weren*. worth even as muoh on the dollar ae 'to r bullion. The politicians WW evise the things to be labeled national oampaign are n?!k® 0 active as they have been in pan: raying the tariff «s "the mother oT trusts.’’ There are several reasons for this. Perhaps the principal lone is that voters who give a thought to the subject at 'all have bLen asking them why free trade Bmtain was alive with these combinations long before they were known in this oountry.

In nearly every city and town in the oountry, this guaranteed care from catarrh has given most astonishing results. The leading druggists are so .enthusiastic over the remarkable percentage of cures following the , ase of Hyomei, that with hardly fn ex. oeption, they advertise to their ous. tomers that Hyomei will be sold with the understanding that it costs nothing unless.it oores. In Rensselaer, B. F. Fendig is endorsing it and guaranteeing to refund the money unless Qyomei cures catarrh. He has sold a great many Hyomei outfits, and today, no other treatment for the' sure of catarrh has as many friends in Rensselaer and vicinity as Hyomei. It is a scientific, yet common sense method of treating add oaring this too common disease. It tends by direct inhalation to every cell of the air passages in the head, throat and lnngs, a balsamic air that destrayes all catarrhal germs, purifies the blood with additional ozone, and makes a complete and lasting onre of any oattrrhal trouble. The complete outfit costs but sl, I and inolndes an inhaler, medicine dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks’ treatment
