They know that advertising saves them (UUP, besides it is the quickest way to tell the public what you have for sale. The merchant sells the most goods who always keeps his business before the public. The public likes to trade with a merchant who isn't afraid to give his prices and to advertise his wares. There is but one better talker in the world than printer's ink, and that is money. But printer's ink never failsto bring the money to the merchant's counter, "Ix spite of her immense industrial power," says ft sneering French paper, "the United States does not possess the military and naval forces which, after all, are at the bottom of every diplomat ic discussion which is carried rather far." The Uniied States is not an inter national belligerent going around with a chip on her shoulder. The great repub lic lias always been an earnest advocate of peaee, but the same potential energy which makes her an "immense indus trial power" also makes her a formidable antagonist in time of war, as giddy and firery la belle France has found to her confusion and humiliation in days gone by. While it is true that the possession of strong military ajid naval forces are essential elements in enforcing "every diplomatic discussion which is carried rather far," but a government like ours finds Us greatest strength in the patri- Jtfrs. Kei WeatbriKtlt Manning, Mica. Common Sense Reasoning Hood's Sarsaparilla Had Cured Others, and It Cured Me. "It was sixteen years ago my right leg txan to swell and pain. Four years ago it broke out in three dreadful sores. I tried all kinds of salves and liniments but the worse the sores became. I Had to Walk on Crutchee i nd a greater part of the time was con flnedto my bed. I could not sleep night and my eyes became affected. I have worn glasses for over six years. ln have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla and PUli two of the worst sores on my limb have healed and the third is almost closed. My sore eyes have been benefited as I can see to read and write and also thread my needle for sewing without the use ol glasses. I came to use Hood's Sarsapa riUa by noticing advertisements. J reasoned that what has cured others HoodVP" Cures nnlii inrs ma and It it a aninndtd medicine." Westbbook, Manning, Michigan has proved so Mas. KEZM Secretary Olney has taki'n a more duvid eil stand in the dispute than any of his predecessors have done. Our pri senl secretary of state has reached the con clusion that the Monroe doctrine is iii Tiil veil in the quest ion, and has formerly notified F.ngland of the fact. IVe-mirr Salisbury' reply has already reached Washington, hut his answer has not yet lieeii given to the 'public. The country is curious to know precisely thegnitunlv iiK)n which Kiiglatnl hates a claim to the disputed territory along the Hchom burgk line and beyond. The strip of territory to which Kngland lays claim roiicists principally of low mud tints, and until recently has been considered worthless, but now that gold lias been found there in large ijMantities the ques tion of boundary has become of Imisir tance to Ixtth Kngland and Venezuela. If England has no treaty rights to the possession of this terrilorv her forcible possession of the same would be clearly in contravention of the famous Monroe doctrine, which is a declaration that the United States is opposed to, and will re sit, any European government acquir ing new possessions on the American continent. szsA GRAND mi ItoiiiM of Locul Interest. otism and courage of the common people, who have never yet failed their country in her extremest need. The Polk county census report for l&t5 shows 81.7(13 acres in cultivation, against 90.489 acres in 1885. Thus it will be seen there has been a fallins off in ten yearsof nearly 10,000 bushels of grain, but while Polk county Las lost in amount of grain, she nas maue a decided gain in the production of hay, potatoes, butter and cheese In 188.5 there was raised 11,245 tons of hay, 80,- 225, bushels of potatoes and 172,955 pounds of cheese and buttei manufac tured. The census of 1895 shows 16,387 tons of hay, 142,601 bushels of potatoes and 172,955 pounds of eheese and butter. This result waa largely brought by a tendency toward diversified farming. Wnn.E there is no immediate danger cfwar between the United States and England over the Venezuelan difficulty, Mrs. J. R. Urvson, who has lieen visiting her sister, Mrs. ff. A.
