You know what that means without a word from us. Such a reduction never was known in Cuthbert as will be made on all Goods in our line. Such an opportunity never was offered
to easli purchasers. An honest slaughter of honest Goods, reduced only to enable us to get more cash on hand to be able to take advantage of the many bargains offered in the East for
the fall trade. Dry Goods at almost half their former price. Harris’ Dry Goods House’s reputation for correct statements has been made too long to be talked of or questioned. Come
at once and take advantage of these sales while our Stock is still complete.

We may differ npon the details

agreed upon the main and csscn

which is that unnecessary taxa

They are in favor of tariff re

want to reduce the taxes—when
ever they and they alone can se

to strengthen the coast defences

liiscritninalinns as not to cripp
the industiics of the country or to
injure labor.
It is an absurd supposition
that any party should enter upon
a line of policy which would re
duee wages, produce |*iverty and
destroy business. ]t is the very
height of absurdity to suppose
that the Democratic party, of all
others, would adopt such a policy.
The Democratic party is largely
made up uow, as it alnays has
been, of the masses of our popula
tion. The multitude of those who
earn their bread bv the sweat of
their brows are within it, its very
name proclaims il the party of the
lieople— the parly of the many and
not Lite few.
It is the party of truest protcc
tion to American workman. Il
! aims to leave him free to enjov
when they are out of power.
But notwithstanding the atli
tnde of their representatives in
Congress and their persistent op
position to all measures for lbe re
lief from taxation, I venture the
prediction, that in the forlhcnm
ing Chicago convention their plat
form will explicitly declare in fa-
of our citizens. Il believes in)
“home rule” forjcitics, and equal
taxation throughout the State.
Recent Republican Legislatures
have accomplished little or noth-
ing for the people. They refused
to legislate upon the subject of

According to all accounts the;
new “Lebel ride’’ is a wondrous!
weapon, and is destined to do ter
riblc things in the hands of French
soldiers. The racmlicrs of the
Academy of Medicine, wishing
lo diagnose the physical conse
quences of wounds inflicted by the
bullets of the gun, recently hat)
experiments made on twenty
corpses, probably these of pau
pers whom nobody owned, or those
of ill laled waifs picked up, at tbe
ordinary firing distance lrotn 200:
yards up lo a mile or so.
The bullets whizzed through j
the bones and pierced them with i
out (raetnring them, as is done i
by the bullets of the “Gras rifle.” ;
The wounds, if they may be call- {
ed so, which were inflicted were
small in their punctures, and
consequently very dangerous and
difficult to heal. Injuries inflict
cd at short distances were so con
siderable that in the opinion of
the surgeons, they would be al
most incurable. At the longest
range—2.000 metres—a poplar
tree was hit, but the bullet did
not go throngh tbe tree. At 1,200
metres the tree was pierced
through and throngli. The dis
charges of tbe rifle are unaccom
panied by smoke, and the reports
are comparatively feeble.
