stop manufactories, mills, slaugh-
ter aod packing booses and leave
tbe laborers or workmen, and
tbair wives and little ones to

A newspaper contributor was
lately admitted into tbs extensive
■sits.of oHooa which eonstilnle
otb headquarters of Dr. Hartman,
who tresis catarrh patients by the
tbonsasds. Amid th* busy swarm
ot assistant doctors, clerks, aten-
pbers and book-keepers, Dr.
o stepped long enongb to
eay a few worde:
“The number of catarrh patlente
wbo visit me ie large, bat the
number wbo are entered on my
books ae regular patients (bat ere
treated without charge, by oor
respondeuce), ia very much (erg
er. Hundreds of letters are re-
ceived and answered free every
day. A yet greater mnltilnde
lake my eartarrb remedy, Pe-ru
ua, and are eared, of whom I dot
er beer. Borne of this latter class
write me yeare after their care. 1
never allow a name published ex
ccpt by tbe written consent of
tbe patient. We make no ebsri
at any time. The medicine on
is obtained by each patient at his
own drag store. Those desiring
to become regular patlente have
only to send address, duration of
disease and treatment previously
received, and directions for first
mouth’s treatment will be sent at
onoe.
“Over half the people have cat-
arrh in some form or other. And
yet probably not a- tenth of the
people know that their disease ie
eartarrh. To distinguish catarrh
of varione organa, it has been
named very differently. One per
eon has dyspepsia, another bron-
chitis; another Bright’s Disease;
another liver complaint; another
consumption; another female com-
plaint. These people wonld be
very much {surprised to bear that
they are all suffering with chronic
catarrh. Bat it is ro, neverthe-
less. Each oue of these troubles,
end e greet many more, are aim
ply catarrh—that is, chronio in-
flammation of tbe mucous lining
of whichever organ is affected
Any internal remedy that will
core catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other location.
This ia why Pe-rn-na baa become
so justly famous in tbe cure of
catarrhal diseases. It cures ca-
tarrh wherever located. Ita cures
remain. Pe ru ua does not pal
liate; it cures.”
A catarrh book is sent tree by
The Pe ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio. This
book contains 64 pages of read
iug matter and instructive illus-
trations. _
Tbe deposits of gold at tbe
clearing house in New York city,
on tbe 18tb of December 1806,
showed an increase of eighteen
millions of dollars since tbe elec-
tion of McKinley, anil if it could
be known how much bidden and
buried gold bad come to light
since the election and been de-
posited in all the banks of tbs
United Slates, it would auiouut to
many millions.
This sustains our contention,
that many thonsands of people
wers deceived and their fears so
excited that they were made to
believe, that tbe election of Bry-
an meant rain to the country and
(heir tears prompted them to bide
their gold.
No cure, no pay. Thnt i« all we hive got

WaamauToa, December 16.—The sen-
ate convened at the usual hour and
proceeded at onee to business. -
Mr. Frye occupied the chair at the
-.I—
the opening prayer.
Hale (r) of Maine reported th* pen-
sion appropriation bill without amend-
ments of any kind, and gave notice

In the concluding portion of Mr. Mor-
gan’s speech he said : “ In this condi-
tion of impotency to establish perma-
nent peace in Cabs sad permanent se-
curity for our own people, while 8pan-
ish monarchy is dominant in the is-
land, we have no alternative left to ua
bnt the single choice between the con
tinuous repetition ef the evils por-
trayed in the message of the president,
or a base, humiliating and cruel delay
on onr part, while rapine and destruc-
tion are rampant in Cuba, in the hope
that borne favorable turn may relieve
a* from a dnty that we owe to human!
ty, to Christian civilization, to the
spirit and traditions of our country
and our people, and to the lives and
liberties of our people In Cuba, who
arc new held by the cruel power of
Spain. I do not rely upon any au-
thority for what I have *aid beyond
the president's message and the report
of the secretary of state. That is
enough. The facts are incontroverti-
ble aud onr duty is plain. If we fail to
act upon them, we then take the re-
sponsibility of a delay to perform
plain dnty, at the expense of onr peo-
ple, whose lives are in constant peril.
After Senator Morgan's speech the
senate took np the bill pensioning
Nancy Allabach, which had been ve-
toed by the president, aud it was passed,

rum present.
