Somk Republican organs nre still
trying to prove to the fnrniers that
mortgages on tlieir farms arc cvidonco
of their wealth and prosperity. This
is quito na reasonable as trying to provo
that thoycan be benefited by "protection."
In voting against the coinage of
eilvcr, Senator Dolph, of Oregon, en
joys the distinction of betraying the
trust imposed upon him by the pco
plo of this State as expressed in the
platform of both political parties in the
Inst election.
Tiik late James A. Oarfiold said in
congress: "lam for that protection
in national industries which lends ul
timately to frco trade." Itecd, McKin
ley and the rest of Garficld'h success
ors in republican leadership aro for
that protection which leads to mo
nopoly and spoliation.
We haven't, individually speaking,
a boy of our own, but if we had we cer
tainly would teach him a few things
that a boy ought to know, and endea
vor to eradicate from his mind the de
sire which cem8 to bo natural with
every boy to become a "bad man" and
bo a "holy terror." To this end wo
would pcremtorily prohibit tho use of
firearms. Recently, in Lane county,
a father and young eon were out hunt
ing, when the boy, in trying to shoot a
blue jay, on the wing, accidentally
lodged twenty-five or thirty bird-Miot
in tho anatomy of his parent. While
the father had a very pronounced in
terview with the young hopeful, later
on, it didn't seem to make the bird
shot any easier to gouge out. It would
havo yielded better results all round
had tho interview taken place several
months prior, when the boy first showed
symptoms of wanting to monkey with
a gun.

read the interesting letters of

A well known merchant who lias been greatly
benefitted by Joy's Vegetable Sar.vaparllla, desired
to glvo it to Ills wife, who was very delicate, but
out of caution first consulted his physician, Dr.
W. II. Orlswold of 8M Market street. Tho doctor,
who Is ouo of our leading practitioner? objoctcd,
caylug he hud never seen a sarsaparllla that did
not contain potath, which thinned tho blood;
that his patlcut did not havo any vitality to low,
and that what delicate people need Is not de
creased vitality, but inoro blood. He consented
when assured that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparlll
was directly opposed to tho old mistaken blood
thinning Idea of other sarsaparillm, amfthat on
the contrary by specific vcsetablo alteratives II
stimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges
tion, and repaired nutrition, hence created now
blood and was tho very thing for feeble people.
Tho above explains tho hundreds of cases la
which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down
people, havo been built up by Joy's Vcgctabl
Sarsaparllla after the potash sarsaparlllas failed.
