To -Assist Nature
In restoring dtaeaaed or waated tissue Is
all that any medicine can do. Iu put
monury affections, such aa Colds, Bron
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes Inflamed, then
accumulations form In the air-cells of
the limps, followed by tubercles, and,
flually, destruction of the tissue. It Is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough la relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
Soothes and Heals
the Inflamed membrane, arrests the
wasting process, and loaves no Injurious
results. Tills is why It Is more highly
eatemoed than any other pulmonary
specific.
L. D. Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt.,
writes : " Four years ago I took a se
vere cold, which was followed by a
terrible cough. I was very sick, and
confined to my bed about four months.
My physician finally said I was In con.
sumption, and that he could not help
me. One of my neighbors advised me
to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I did so,
and before I had taken half a bottle was
able to go out. By the time I had
finished the bottle I was well, and have
remained so ever alnce."
Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills,
Mo., writes: " Six years ago, I was a trav
eling salesman, aud at that time was
suffering with
Lung Trouble.
For months I was unable to rest nights.
I could seldom lie down, had frequent
choking spells, and was often com
pelled to neek the open air for relief.
I was Induced to try Ayer's Cherry
Peetoral, which helped me. Its con
tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I
believe, saved my life."

cured, a cold will bring them on

aggravate them. These are facta which
no observing person cab deny. It is of
the utjuost importance that every cold

been abundently proven that there Is
no medicine that will cure a cold In

Why should I hug life'e ills with oold reserve

The statement is made by officers
of the Farmers' Alliance Exobanga
of this city, that the institution is

withstanding this apparently flatter

road and mads many serious blun

of official incapacity or the failure of
the order to respond to their own in
formal pledges, or yet simple miscal
culations which might have occurred
in any business, the fact remains that
mistakes, nnd 6erions, too, have been
made, and that the Exchaugehasnot
entirely turned the commercial world

due respect to the righteousness of
the Alliance enterprise in trying to
correct prevailing commercial abuse.

What has been Settled!
Chicago News.
Now that the smoke of the politi-
bal contest has cleared away it is
pertinent to ask what the battle has
settled. Practically little indeed.
The great questions growing out of
the tariff and the surplus have by no
means been determined by the elec
tion of Mr. Harrison, nor does the
defeat of Mr. Cleveland pat to rest
the qnostion of tariff reform. New
Jersey, a very large portion of whose
people are dependent upon industries
especially fostered and paotected Dy
the high tariff, gate Mr. Cleveland an
increased plurality in 1888 over that
of 1884. The state of Connecticut
which in every valley hums with man
ufactories believed to be greatly aid
ed by the tariff, remains faithful to
Mr. Cleveland in 1888 as in 1884,
New Hampshire, which is specially
interested in wool growing, gives
Mr. Harrison a plurality about half
as large as that given Mr. Blaine four
years ago. There are reduced plur
alities in some other eastern and sev
eral other western ptates over four
ears ago. Had the principles laid
down by the president in his famouB
message been as dangerous as they
were declared to be, there would
have been no indications of this kind
of svmpathy with his ideas in the
very states most benefitted by pro
tection. The eleotion settled the
condition of Dakota and perhaps
three other western territories, but it ,
did not settle the position of those
territories, when they become states,
on the tariff reform question. Dako
ta ouorbt to have been admitted as two
states last summer, and it is probable
that one of the first acts of the new
congress will be to admit North and
South Dakota, Idaho, Montana and
Washington; but the people of those
territories, while not free traders, are
in favor of a reformation of the tar
iff. The election did not settle our
fisheries dispute with Canada. Mr
Harrison may have a different woy
of dealing with that question, but we
do not expect the "vigorous foreign
policy" the supposed absence of which
was the source of so much criticism
on the part of republicans during the
last year. We doubt if Mr. Harrison
will show more activity in the dispo
sal of that question than did Mr.
Cleveland. We are in no condition
to double up our fists and pitch into
Mr. John Ball, and this will mollify
the wrath of the republicans. These
are are some of the things the elec
tion has not removed from the field
of practical politics, and the people
have them yet in charge unless the
new adminiatration shall dispose of
them before 1892.
President Cleveland's Wealth.
Washikoton, D. C, Nov. 14. It is
reported that President Cleveland is
contemplating the sale of Oakview,
bis present country residence. It is
calculated that a sale at the prevail
ing price for suburban property in
the neighborhood ought to net him
a clear profit of f 100,000 for his in
vestment of three years ago. An in
timate friend of the President says
that he will dispose of Oakview, and
upon the expiration of bis term of
office next spring will take a trip to
Europe with Mrs. Cleveland. He
does not propose to return to the
law at present for the reason that ne
cessity does not oompel him to do so.
He has saved more than $100,000
out of his salary, and he was worth
$50,000 when he came into office.
Mrs. Cleveland's share of the Folsom
estate is estimatod at $250,000. so
that the friend in question places the
Cleveland wealth at $500,000 next
March. This is sufficient to afford
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland a comforta
ble income, and with this in view the
President does not propone to return
at rinM tn hia nrofeasion. After a
A

The Yaloe of Onion i,
A writer in one of onr exchanges
recommends boiled or roasted onions
a most excellent remedy for. a
cough and for the clogging of the
bronchial tabs, wbiob is usually the
caups of the cough. He says that if
onions are eaten freely at the outset
of a cold, they may break it up. He
also quotes a medical writer as reoom
mending the giving of onions to the
children three or four times a week,
young onions to be eaten raw, and to
be eooked when they got too large
and strong. Another writer says:
"During unhealthy seasons, when
dintheria and like contagious diseas-
es prevail, onions ought to be eaten
in the spring of the year at least once
a week. Onions are invigorating and
prophylactio beyond description."
Whether the virtues here ascribed
to onions are exaggerated or not it is
certain that the onion contains an oil
which acts strongly on the secretions
of the bronchial tubes, kidneys, and
skin. This oil Ib stimulant andtonio
and thus promotes digestion, The
onion is also nutritiouc, being rich in
uitrogenous elements and in sugar.
Roasted it makes, with oil, a stimu
lating poultice for suppurating nloers.
In warm countries its flavor is more
delicate and it is extensively used for
food. In Spain and Portugal it is
often eaten raw, and, with a piece of
bread forms the dinner of the work
ing people. As boiling largely dissi
pates the oil when used medicinally,
it should be roasted rather tan boiled.
Belonging ta the onion samily and
the most Belf-aasorting member is
garlic, from which mainly the oil is

proper bulb. It is used mainly for
the lower part of tho stem, which is

Alliance Matters.
On his return from Dallas Mr. D.
M. Cunningham, member of the State
Alliance executive committee, was met
by a citizen reporter, who learned
that the Alliance is in excellent finan
cial condition and all departments are
working smoothly. A number of
state lecturers were appointed, among
them Mr. J. T. Evans, of Hutto, and
these lecturers will make a thorough
canvass of the state. Mr. Cunningham
is a thorough business man, conser
vative in all his ideas, and he exer
cises a great deal of influence in check
ing extreme action by the executive
committee. He does not believe in
the state exchange attempting to
transact the local business of the
country, but wants its transactions
oonfinod to a few specialties where
mutual profit will result During the
ssBsion last week a communication
was sent to the cattle convention in
St. Louis, expressing a hope that the
dressed beef monopoly of Chicago
and Kansas City may be brokon in
order that our home cattle raisers
and botchers may do their business.
It is the policy of the State Allianco
to encourage any industry that will
increase the prosperity of its individ
ual members, and the ordor does not
desire to make its members do busi-
with the state exchange when they
can do better at home. Taylor Citi

Womon are far more wary than men In
smuggling, and their devices for bringing'
lu goods of a dul table nature are many.
It is usually the case that the lmrpectreea.
can tell by the face and contour of the
person. As a general rule, the woman
who baa goods hid away will look the
searcher of her luggage calmly in the face,'
soldom turning away, and if the searcher
politely Informs her that ehe thinks that
she hue dutiable goods on hor person, she
will, of oourse, be greatly Insulted and
Invite a careful examination. Bhe gets it
and a little trouble in the bargain.. The
self assurance that a woman smuggler
has Is of such great quantity that it will
lead her to do the most absurd and fool
hardy deeds, whereas, if she had less,
perhaps ehe would nor" rely so much upon
ita carrying her through, and would,
thorcforo. he more corofuL The bustle is
a godsond to the woman who wants to
smuggle. They are made large and
roomy, are of Iron framework, and in them
may be safely carried yards of the moat
valuable goods.
The most absurd thing for a woman to
do who has goods hid about hor person is
to wear a heavy ulster when it is too
warm for one. She will have to refuse to
remove it when graciously asked if it Is
not a bit warm, and such refusal of oourse
results In a necessary investigation on
the part of the lnspectrosa. . The manners
of the woman smuggler are always very
charming, and therefore it Is in such a
kindly way that they inform tho tired in
spoctross that she Is really tired and needs
a littlo rest, thorofore need not examine)
their trunks, aa they will tell tho inspeo
tress what Is In them and save her so
much extra trouble. But she doeant look
at it in that light, and does inspect the
trunks, mucn to mo regret oi too vwjir.
