Combine the choicest cathartic principles in medicine, in proportions accurately ad justed to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are the result of years of careful study and practical ex periment, and are the most effectual rem edy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. Aran's i'lLr.s are specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimi. lative processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use bv physicians in their practice, and by nil civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they are positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can be admin istered to children with perfect safety. Ater's Pirxs are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costlveness, Indiges tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memory Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery Gout Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. While gentle in their action, these Pills are the most thorough and searching cathar tic that can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is healing. They stimu late the appetite and digestive organs: they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

In 1867 the wool growers and wool en manufacturers, of the country, or a portion of them, oame is lbs conclu sion ibat some mors tariff would great ly increase lbs prosperity of their re spective interests; and Congress at that time botng in the same way of think tag, at the request of Lbs representatives of these two branobes of domestic in dustry, the duties on lbs importation of wool and woolens to s degree unpre cedented' in our former tariff ex perienes; the duties on wools, other than cheap carpet wools, ranging frosrt 37 to 119 per cent, sad sn woslsni from 40 . to 150 per cent and upwards; the heaviest duties being imposed on tbe cheapest woolens, adapted to moot tbe wants of tbe poor, and tbe lightest on tbs more expensive fabrics deatand od by the rich. Tbe tariff bas now been in operation for fourteen years, and the following havs been its resalts: 1 . The American woo) grower Uas received on tbs average during this period-a smaller price for bis product than under the low tariff of 1857, when wools cestiag loss than 20 cents per pound wsrs admitted free ef duty, and all woe Is costing above thst, paid but 24 per cent, ad valorem. In fact, for extended periods under the existing tariff, American wools baV touched lower prices than havs svsr beta ex psrisncsd sinoe tbe woolea manufacture of the country generally e eased to be a household industry; the wools receiving the least protection commar.disg the highest prices. 3 Tbe number of sheep owned and the quantity of sheep owned, and the quantity of wool produced east of the Rooky Meuntatos, has largely and continually diminished; tbs number of sheep in Iowa (a typical agricultural State) for example, having declined, according to the Utate Auditors repot t, from 1,301,000 in 1830 to 301,000 in 170. 3. The business of manufacturing eolens in tbe United States under tbe existing tariff has paid a smaller percentage of profit on the capital in vested than any othr leading bran h of domestic industry. 4. The American people, daring the same period, have paid higher price for their woolen clothing than the people of any other nation, their com peers in wealth and civilization. In place of the uxtv.ing Larill rendering the country more indepen dent of foreign nations in isrpect to it sapply of wool and woolens (as it was confident? r claimed it would be,) the exact reverao bas occurred; the impor tation of foreign wool during the year lbov having been in excrs of 1 Za.tOQ,- 000 pound, a compared with 24,000, 000 pounds in 18C8, and 48,000,1)00 pounds in 1878; while during tbs same roar (1880) tbe United Htates bought of foreign countries manufactured pro ducts of wool Ls tbe value of $33,GU,- 000. On the other hand the United State sold during this same year, to foreign countries, wool of domestic pro duction to the extent of only 191,551 pounds; and masnfaetursrs of wool to the value of only $210,575! Bo much in the way of introduction to tbs fol lowing stsry: In 1M69, tbe then special commis sioner of revenue of the United States, in hi annual report on ths revenue and industry of tbe country, caUed at tention to a re)ort mads to him by re liable authority of the sals in Eaglsad of the old second hand, or discarded woolen machinery for importation into the United States, where it was used by parties who subsequently demanded and receive an increased protection on their manufactured product. On its face the statment seemed so incredible that the public generally believed there muHt bo a mistake about the matter; bile the protectionist did not hesitate to characterise it as a "free trade lie," for tbe promulgation of which British gold was undoubtedly paid. The matter there rested, and would possibly have never again been heard of bad it not been for the recent pro denoe of tbo United States Consul at Bradford, England, Mr. C. 0. Sbep ard who in his report to the stale department under date of January 4th, 1881, concerning the business of bis district, (which is well known to be a great center of tbe English woolen manufacture) says. "The exports of the United States of looms and ether manufacturing machinery has been greater the past year than ever before, and still continues. This export is not altogether, I app-ehend. because of tbe superiority of English machinery over American, for tho latter can be run, I believe, at double the speed of the former, but because it is wanted as a model upon which to improve, and because it can be bought (the second hand article) at nearly old iron prices." Here then we have an official state ment concerning the influence ef our existing tariff, which is well worthy ths serious attention of the American public. A Isrge quantity of old and discarded woolen machinery has been bought during the last year, in Eng land at about the price of old metal, and sent to the United States. What for? Tbe idea of Consul Skepard that it was sent in any considerable quantity "as a model upon which to improve," is unreasonable. For if there were, in the first place, any details in old pat terns of English woolen machinery with which Amencnn mechanics and a., n ' . macmne Duiiuers were not long ago fully acquainted (a supposition not probable,) any infotmation which they might derire, and which was manifest lv no secret, could be moro readily and cheaply acquired through the agency aud dublications of drawings, rather than by the repeated purohado and transportation of large masses of old metal. The eld machinery was there fore bought by American woolen manu facturers and sent to the United States for uso; and u promiumit Now Km? laud merchant, conversant with tho domostio wool and wooltm business1, to whom tho writer appealed for addition al information, acknowledged himself conversant with the facta as above stated, and justified the importation on thu ground that such old-pattern half worn out machinoy could bo ussd profitably in this country. W arc, therefore, warranted In drawing the following interesting, and, from an American standpoint, discreditable picture of the woolen industries of Ureat liritain and tbe United States: In the former country tbo rnanufca turor, Leing dependent upon his own resources, is obliged to protect himself naturally, by promptly availing him self of svory new improvement and proeeas; by discarding bis eld ma chinery aa no butter than old metal ths ahomtnt n) thing superior is offored, and by continually offering to the public tho cbeapess, tho beat, and the most novel product at the lowest price. A a consequence, bo ha the whole world as a customer, and in the year 1881, in addition to supplying his own market, sold to foreign countries manufactured pruducts to the value of $103,000,000. On tbe other hand, the American woolen manufacturer, re stricted in bis supply of raw material, sad protected by heavy duties from foreign coiufetition, n enabled to go to Lui"e, purchase old machinery which foreign manufacturers I'm 1 un profitable or unsuitable to use, bring it to tl.H country, and sell it itopei.V r bob iud-the age products at a profit to his countrymen, who buy because the tariff will not permit them to supply themselves with anything belter at tho same price. Is it to be wondered that under such a condition ef aflair tho market for the products of the woolen industry of tbe 1'niu d States in for eign countries should bsvebeen limited in 180 to tho comparatively insignifi cant sum of $210,000) ia it possible moreover, so long as this condition ef things U maintained, that there can be any opportunity for iocreaao in do meetic wool growiug and v. .,-,1 manu facturing beyond what is iikely to be afforded by tho increase of our opula liont And whatever this may be, it is certain that it will not increase to a corresponding extunt tho o;.;- tanitf for tho employ mont of labotV (of tue whole tendency uf the in,; .vcrusnt in machinery and pr .- is v largely incieasethe qusntity ol saafsOtBSSd product without iiairssitlif the re quirement for in tnu yet anuie continually only through tb estttut f a i And it is a nee the trial oi our present country can alt i: bili taMi ina new it. s.i Isjvs n t tcjoi r It 14.

He said he pur posed offering a few informal remark upon tbe influence of alcoholic drinks upon health, upon work, upon disease, and opon the succeeding generation. This qnest ion of alcohol was of the first unjHjrtance te u a a nation and as individuals, and hence a great re sponsibility rested upon those who pro fessed to speak upon it with authority. He vrntnred to sa that be knew some thin? shout thi question. Fdf ysars he-had been physuian to one f tbe largest hospitals in this country, (the London Hospital), and thre, as elsewhere, it had been a prt of his business in life to sscertain the i?f: euo which alcoholic drinks exercixd upon health, and he ha1 with deep in terest and attention striven to get at the truth of the matter. In tbe first place, let him distinctly say that s cohol as a poion, as were also strych nine, arsenic, and opium ; but in cer tain small doses strychnine, arsenic and opium weie useful in special cir c imstanci s, and in very minute doses alcohol couid also be ued without mnf obvioua prejudicial t nYct upon health. He was cot going tr discuss what these minute doses were, save to say that they are very minute. A perfect State cf health (and it was rarely to be found ) could not be benefited by alcohol in any degree, and in nine times out of 10 it was injured by it He said this not as a total abstainer, though he earnestly hoped that all the rising gen eration would be. Instead of he 'deal state of health which might h: yel save for the nature of our Mino u4 in;;, the sine of o ?r parents, and oer ow ns, thera was a sort of secondary Otteased by most of us, and what did alcohol do for this 1 He had two answers to give thai this sort cf health bore apparently with alcohol better lujtu Luo other, snd E-r.efited by it j sort of health taling grouati respect -o the ', tlien were sometimes goemed as if and this was exscilv tV that formed the gtyat debating of different peoaie Brits rcsiect use ol ax'vJi.Ow o ' iei seme nervous people a: ways yet never ill, for whom he had found sympathy, a bo see rue:! t a pro . derive great comfort from alcohol, and to these he had sometimes said, Take a little baer or wine, but take great care never to go beyond the minute dose." Ho did not defend this, but simply stated it to show what he thought. As to the influence of alcohol U;'Tn work, Dr. Clark went oa to er.e Mirage ha bearers to try the exueriuient of tot.l 1 S abstinence, and observe the result in regard t j work. Let them, however, try it fairly, aud not allow themselves to be deferred from it by tha evil prog nostications ef friends. He was cer tain that if this exjKJrimcnt were tried each individual present world come to the conclusion that alcohol was not a helper of work, but, on the eontrxry, a hinderer. Now as to tho 3f.ct of alcohol upon disease. He went through the wards of his hospital to-day, and asked him sslf bow many eases wera due to natcra sl and unavoidable cause, sad how many to drink, and he came, after careful thought, to the conclusion that seven out of ten owed their ill health to alcohol. He did not say that these excosive drunkards in f.ict, it was not drunkard i who alcohol, but the ru-xl exceeled the pttfi The drunkard s rf i ni-vt from hit.krrs who al 'j tantity. v. .s an ab hr after a it the rnoder to work un- ;tou stainer for m.'-!:s to period of intern 4eranoe, are drinker went steidi' dermintng his constitution, and pre paring himself for premature decay and death. He hid no means of finding out how many victims alcohol claimed each year, bat certainly more than three fourths of the disorders of fash ionable life arose from the drug of which he was sj caking. Finally, Dr Clark dwelt upon the heredity of the a al coh olio taint, aDd closed by saying that 8jrn3ttra? when he thought of all this conglumeration of erils he was disjiosed to rush to tfce opposite tx treme to give up his profe ,sior,lo giro up everything, and to enter upon a holy crusade, preaching to all men everywhere to beware of this enemy of the race. A man in the path of duty is twice as strong to resist temptations as out of it. Afifch is twice as strong in the water as on the shore ; but a four-footed beast is twice as strong err the land as in the water. Tho reason is, be cause the water is a proper element of one, and the earth of tbe other. Ti y work is thy element wherein tl ou art rno?t able to resist temptation. The Temperance question is to oc cupy a prominent plac3 in the discuss ion of the approaching English Cbuich Congress.
