Im porters Paralyzed and Manufacturers Prosperous.'" New York, Ang. 20 A Herald die patch from the t-ity of Mexico says: Kxchange on New York has reached 145 premium. In other words, it takes $2 45 Mexican money to pay for an American dollar containing less silver than the Mexican. Meanwhile home manufacturers are booming, asthedrp-i leriati.m in silver make" a high tariff wall. Coffee, sugar, tobacco and sisal hemp planters are prosperous, as they sell abroad for gold and pay their labor ers in silver. Strange to say, the Mex ican dollar buys as much goods as ever it did, except of the imported variety." If free silver acts as a protection to Mex ico would it not to U S. How do our republican fnendss get around this fact? Capitalists are flocking into the country to take advantage of the high premium and invest their gold. It has been sounded in our ears from Maine to Cal ifornia and we might say from hell to breakfast that the free silver would drain all our gold out of the country, that it would ta.ke wings and fl) away or that it would sink into the bowels of the earth, ic. Here is absolute proof that it brings gold into the country, that has been the history of our country aa well as Mexico, and the blessed eld Oregonian further says: "Bankers here say a handful of men in London ore manipulating the money of the world, which means that they are controlling the prhe8 of the world, and that it is the old fight of monarchy against society. Rich Mexicans, accus tomed to living much of the tiuie abroad. are staying at home investing their silver in building and improvements. All kinds of real estate is rapidly advancing in price, and the demand for masons and contractor is large. Attention is also being directed to tropical agriculture."' And again in this grand Oregon daily paper of Ang 2S, we find the following: Citt of Mexico, Aug. 25. Notwith standing the renewed decline in silver, exchange on London and New York was easv today, broker having bought at $1 39 and $1 40 on New Yore and sold at exrhnM wilf radnHv ri to si 50. Business is quiet and there have been no failures Inc ports are generally greatly checked.

M A Mills t. The China Pheasant Fr;m Ihe Corvallis Times. It seldom perhaps occurs to hcnter wh find 83 much nleasure in shooting t'l? China pbeasaat with whch the Wiliamette is so abundantly stocked bow it hapooed that th- peerless gam bird came into this country. A couple o yearsj ago a writer in Harper's Yooug F)U9 carefully explained ti.e matter in sn extensive article. fhe said that '( was a wealthy and well educated Chiniman tbat brought the birds o?er j l'roui me orient ana turned mem loose JaJge liennr. an utegon man, aa BO f ir as can b a learned a man not in any vjv compromised with Chinese blood in bis veins tbat made China pheasant hunting in Oregoi a p-wsibility . Ia tbe Times ffi-e Thursday Judge Denny reiated; to a number of friends how it came about that the first hatch of the birds were shipped over. It was n 1SS2 that Judge Denny was Consul Kneral at Shanghai, having shoitly prcvions been promoted to tbe place from the consalrhip at Tien Sin. "The birds are plentiful in the Shanghai markets, where they were kept alive in eoops and nearly starved by the deal ers," said Jodge Denny. "The Chinese never shoot the birds like we do but, snare them and keep them in coops to be Killed when sold. I fell into tbe habit of baying tbem by tbe dozen or score to be fattened in a fine commodi ous coop bo :lr for the purpose by my predecessor. I had fixty of them on band one dv wher there happened in port a ship bound tor an Oregon tort, and the idea of shipping them over oc cared to me. The captain oi the vessel to)k up readily with my (.lan and in a fewdayitbe birJs, with complete in structions as to their care, written by myself in the log book, railed away on the sbip bound for Portland. In due time they arrived at their destination but there remained of them but three ens and ten cocks. These were tamed adrift on Sanvies Inland below Portland anrijsoon disappeared from tho fare of tbe earth. The failure canssi' me to aain attempt the experiment, and the next year "3 birds, 18 hens and ten rocks were shipped to my brother living near Lebanon, Linn county. They arrived at their destination without accident and were turned adrift near Peterson's Butte.

When any disease at tacks man kind and hides itself in tbe human system, no matter how obsenre or complicated tbe disease may be, Na ture among her great force of de tective reme dies has one that will eventually bunt down and arrest tbat particular disease. Lung and bronchial diseases are anions; the most baffling complaints which doctors have to deal with; because it isn't tbe lungs or bronchial tubes alone wbiob are affected, but every corner of the system furnishes a lurking place for these elusive maladies. Tbey change and reappear and dodge about tbe system under numberless dis guises. They are almost always compli cated with liver or stomach troubles, nerv ousness, neuralgia, or "general debility." Tbe best detective remedy which Nature baa provided to search out and arrest these ilexmir ailments ia Dr. Pierce's Golden edical Discovery. It lavs sn arrestinir hand directly upon the poisonous, paralys ing elements hiding in the liver and diges tive organs. - It gives the blood-making glands power to manufacture an abundant supply of pure, red, highly vitalized blood which reinforces the lungs with healthy tissue ; feeds the nerve-centres with power, and builda up solid muscular flesh and active energy. Forweak lung, spitting-of blood, shortness of breath, nasal catarrh, bronchitis, severe coughs, asthma, and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy.
