Pain at the Heart. — Pains in the
heart region are quite common, and the
general dread of this disease makes many
people imagine that they have heart dis
ease when there is any local affection in
this region. It is generally true that a
large percentage of those who think they
are suffering from heart disease ha\e
their pain caused by the pressure of the
stomach when distended with food or
gas. Neuralgia or muscular rheumatism
of the chest wall will give similar pains
in the heart which may readily be thought
to come from heart disease. Ihe obscui
ity which involves the whole subject of
the heart's nervous system malAs it un
possible to tell definitely about such pains.
Various drugs which will slow the action
of the heart will sometimes give relief.
But it is necessary first to ascertain posi
tively if the heart is really affected.
Those who suffer from such pains can
frequently discover the cause better than
the physician. There is no reason why
such pains should give cause for alarm.
Even though neuralgia or rheumatism are
causing pain in that region it is not es
sentially dangerous. The best plan at
such times is to keep in a dry place, a\oid
draughts of wind, rain or wet wreathe!
and remain in a lying posture for hours.
This gives the heart rest and gradually
strengthens it. Hot, dry applications
over the region are always good. 1 hose
suffering from neuralgia and heart disease
should always apply hot flannels over
the region of the heart when the pain is
severe. This will prevent the nenr.ilgia
from settling in this organ, the most dan*

The following inquiry touches an inter
esting poiht:
. “'Sir: If the force bill or negro domination
is the chief issue in the present campaign, and
the democratic party takes the same Btand on the
question as you do, how can any negro consci
entiously vote the democratic ticket?
“A Republican.”
By negro domination is meant the
domination of an illiterate, ignorant,and
nassionate nnjoritv in a few of the south
ern states, acting eke toumu u,
new scoundrels in the place of the carpet
baggers of old. By means of such a sub
servient majority the carpetbaggers were
enabled to plunder the treasury of the
states and thus enrich themselves. The
scenes which were witnessed in South
Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida,
and some other southern states after the
war, illustrate the evils and dangers of
negro domination. Over and above this
situation wdll stand the Federal sup rvis
ors of elections, who will have their own
agents at every polling place, and, with
all the power of the government to back
them, will dictate that in all cases otTy
Republicans and friends of the pluuderers
shall be admitted to office. This is what
is meant by Federal interference promot
ing Negro Domination for the benefit of
a gang of scoundrels with no purpose but
to enrich themselves at the puolic ex
pense.
AgainEt such a combination as this,
and, above all, agaiust Federal interfer
ence with elections in all the States, North
as well as South, every intelligent, pa
triotic citizen, who is not carried away
by the violence of party feeling, will cast
his ballot; and every intelligent, patriotic
negro will vote against it as earnestly as
every intelligent white.—N. Y. Sun.
DEMOCRATIC MS.
THE SUPREME ISSUE.
No Other Matter so Moment
ous to South and North as
the Force Bill.
A jnyonet behind every ballot. That
is the doctrine of the force bill—that is
the theory of the republican party.-
Norfolk (Va.) Landmark.
Division in the south means negro
domination, engineered and sustained by
the federal p.iwer in the hands of the
republicans.—Atlanta Constitution.
The force bill will not be eliminated
until the people of the United States
have rebuked the party that stands for
the force bill by giving it an over
whelming and everlasting defeat. —Utica
(N. Y.) Observer.
Now that the republicans have thrown
off the mask, and boldly advocate the
force bill, it is time for the south to re
member what this brought them before,
imd what it threatens them with to day.
—New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The Force bill is the evil of evils. Mr.
W esley pronounced slavery to be the sum
of all villiainies. So the Democrats mav
pronounce the force bill the sum of all
villainies which now threaten the per
petuity of our free institutions. The
Government established by our fathers
could not live long after it had been
changed by the force bill into a grand
consolidated despotism. The political
institutions of which we boast are not
equal to the task of protecting our peo
ple from oppression and wrong under the
operation of a law which would reduce
the states to the condition of mere sat
rapies. Yes, the force bill is the sum of
all the republican villainies and warns us
not to allow sleep to our eyes until after
the Bth of November next, when we ex
pect to bury the republican maliguants
out of sight once for all, and to be able
to asiure.the people of the whole world
that Liberty yet has a home in America.
—Richmond, Va., Dispatch.
The real importance of Senator Hoar's
letter consists in the evidence which it
furnishes that the republican party is
still fully committed to the policy of the
force bill, and will make a desperate
effort to enact such a measure if it has
the chance. It is perfectly plain that
many republican politicians and editors
are anxious to get rid of this issue, and
there is nothing improbable in the report
that Mr. Harrison would like to cut looe
from it in his letter of acceptance, if he
could see how to do so, but as 1 ng as
men like George F. Hoar retain
their influence in the party there is no
escape from the issue.
But even Mr. Hoar feels constrained to
make some concession to the popular
prejudice against the policy, and he,
thorefore, claims that it does Dot really
amount to much. He even goe3 so far as
to style the force bill “a simple prop >si
tion to give an appeal to the couits of
the United States, subject to the final
power of the House itself in any contest
ed questions of the election of national
representatives.” A more disingenious
statement coqld not easily be made.
What the Lodge bill proposed was by no
means only an appeal to the Federal
courts in case of a contested election.
It proposed to leave the decision as
to which candidate had been elected
to a canvassing board appointed
by a republican judge, who ; e
certificate should be final, so far as con-
cerned the action of the clerk of the
house in making up the roll of it* mem
bers. To talk about this action being
“subject to the final power of the bouse
itself” is absurd. The house consists of
356 members. Suppose that an election
without a force bill would give the dem
ocrats 180 members and the republicans
176. Suppose that the canvassing boards,
by a gro.-s abuse of their power, award
certificates to 180 republicans and 176
democrats. Of what use would it be for
the democrats who had thus been cheat-
ed out of their seats to appeal to the
house to undo the wrong—a house con
trolled by the republicans through this
wrong?
It will not be strange if the disposi
tion to unload the force bill issue grows
among the republican managers, in view
of such developments as these. But
they cannot get rid of it, The party is
committed to the policy, and it can gain
nothing by t-ying to deceive the public
into the belief that it would not carry it
out if it had the chance—N. Y. Post.
The republicans are afraid of the Force
bill issue. That is why they are trying
to dodge it by representing itrs a matter
of theory merely, of no practical effect
in the Dear future, and simply as a dec
laration in favor of the use of Federal
power to prevent negro disfranfchiseflient
in southern states. These pretences are
all false!
The Force bill presents a qu stion at
least as pracUcal and more imminent
than does the tariff issue. The tariff,
unfortunately, cannot be revolution
ized so as to protect the people instead
of the monopo ies, so long as there remains
a republican senate dominated by the
plutocrats. With a Democratic house
and president the Country will hate to
wait at least until the middle of the Com
ing presidential term before any satisfac
tory and general tariff reform can be ef
fected. On the other hand, the election
of a Republican president and a Repub
lican house of representatives would pre
cipitate federal control of elections upon
the country as soon as the new Congress
should open, and there is every reason to
believe that the revolution would be
hastened by the action of an extra sessiou
after inauguration in 1893; so that even
next year's.elections would be held unler
the domination ofj federal bayonets
wherever excuse could be found in voting
for a United States official.
At any rate, there would be no other
Congress thereafter elected by the people
of the states under local laws, and Mr.
Cleveland’s forecast of long-continued
control of the party of private plunder
through public license would be verified.
There would be no probability of mak
ing the United States senate democratic
in time to prevent this deplorable con
stimmation, which the republican senate,
as well as the republican house and the
republican president, would be bound to
bring about without delay.
The Minneapolis platform declares for
the force bill in unmistakable terms, and
pledges the party to unlimited federal
direction of elections everywhere.
President Harrison drove the iniquitous
measure through the house and exhausted
the resources of power and patronage of
the executive branch of the government
in the effort to dragobn it through the
senate. There is no republican states
man of prominence, from McKinley and
Aldrich down, who is not irrevocably
committed to the force policy, and such
pledges and declarations have been as
frequent and as strong during the pres
ent congress as they were during the last.
To federalize all elections, and destroy
at its source the autonomy and sover
eignty of the people of the states, is the
one proposition from which the republi
can party cannot vary if successful in
November.
JA e ..E e ;. e |L c i t L°.H. <?Aft-Wtfome
rule suffrage and an all-sufficient warrant
for the enactment of a measure even
more radical and revolutionary than the
infamous bill which so narrowly failed of
passage by the senate after its adoption
by the house of Czar Reed. If Cleve
land be not chosen president, the subver
sion of the election laws and the en
thronement of central despotism over
our polling places, from Maine to Florida,
will surely be accomplished with but lit
tle delay. A self-perpetuating central
ized government would never alter its
policy so long as the country holds to
gether. The popular will would never
again be peacefully enforced throughout
the Union.
Hence the force bill issue lies at the
root of all others, and takes precedence
of them in respect of time as well as of
importance. There is no other question
so vi al, so pressing, or so universal in
its consequence to all localities and to all
interests throughout the United States.—
New Y"ork Sunday Mercury.
THE CHOLERA RECORD.
The Dread Disease Still Slaying Its
Thousands
A St. Petersburg news special says:
Official returns of new c ses of cholera
Monday and deaths show a decrea s e,
compared with Saturday’s figures, of fif :
teen cises and an increase of 111 deaths.
Total number of new cases reported Mon
day, 0.806; total deaths, 3,429.
Advices from Hamburg, Germany,
state that cholera is chiefly prevalent in
Alstadt, or the old portion of the city,
comparatively few cases occurring in
Neustadt, or the new portion. Every
precaution possible is being taken to lo
calize the disease. A number of new
cases were r ported Tuesday.
A dispatch from Hcushd, iu the pro
vince of Ghilan, states that every day
hundreds of persons are dying there from
cholera. Reushd is a very unhealthy
place and sanitary methods are unknown.
It lies on the Caspian sea and is the cen
ter of importing trade of the province in
which it is located. Most of all imports
are from Russia. Other cities are also
suffering.
Bud Lindsay’s Conduct.
A Washington dispatch of Monday
says: The department of just'ce has no
direct supervision of deputy raarsha s,
appointments of this being made by the
marshals themselves, consequently tin
department has not interfered in the
matter of the conduct of Bud Lindsay,
who was charged with rioting at Coal
Creek, Tenn. Officials of the department
have availed themselves of the informa
tion contained in the press dispatches on
the subject and Attorney General Miller
has decided to communicate with United
States Marshal Tipt min regard to the
matter and if the facts are as reported it
may be a suggestion will be made that
Marshal Lindsay be removed.
The Cost of Food.
The World recently called attention
to the fact that Senator Aldrich treated
as of equal value the food, clothes,
building materials, patent medicines and
other articles the prices of which were
examined by the Senate committee —in
other words, that his calculation as
sumed that a family consumes as much
medicine as food.
In the same way, in treating the food
list, mustard and pepper were treated as
of as much importance as bread and
muti wbilo i examining the cost of
clothes it was assumed that a family ex
pended as much for liuiags as for coats,
hats, blankets and dress goo Is.
The full tables are now issued, and
from them can be gathered the truth
concerning expenditures for the foo l
that was consumed and toe ciotues
that were bought during the period of
twenty-eight months investigated by the
Senate.
Taking bread, Hour, eggs, butter,
cod, beef* milk, mutton, pork, potatoes,
onion3 and cabbages as the basis of the
ordinary American table* we may co u
pare their prices at the beginning oi the
period, June, .ISS9, with the highest
prices attained during the period ru 1
also with those of the last month of tin
period, September, 1591. The follo.vinj
table, 100 beiug considered the normal
and reductions and increases in price in
ing represented by percentages of IU,
will show these prices:

Average 100.33 121.27 101.82
In this list of necessaries of life there
is not an article which did not advance
in price during the agitation and after
the passage of the McKinley act. There
is not one, with the exception of cabbage,
whose highest price was not reached
after the enactment of the law. The
average price of these commodities in
June, 1889, was 100.33. The average
of the highest prices was 121.27. T.ie
average pi-ice in September, 1891, was
101.82. At one time during the twenty
eight mouths, therefore, and aftef the
passage of the McKinley law, the prices
of these necessary articles of food went
up $20.94 on every SIOO worth, and at
the close of the period these were still
bringing $1.49 on every SIOO above the
prices charged before the Fifty-first
Congress assembled.
Tea and coffee are not included In the
above table because they are free of duty,
while sugar is omitted because the Demo
cratic policy of free raw material has
been adopted, the result beiug a decli
nation of 37 per cent, in the price of the
granulated article.
Under the McKinley act food has
been dearer by very much more than the
paltry .47 of 1 per cent, admitted by
Mr. Aldrich. Some of this increased
price is due to the law, while some is
due to short crops in Europe.
When the prices of clothes shall be
examined the result of the tariff tax will
World.
McKinley ism Must Go.
The women of this country will have
a good deal to say in the selection of
President Harrison’s successor. No
matter who the Republican candidate
for the Presidency may be he will neces
sarily be the leader of his party and a
champion of the McKinley tariff—and
the women of America don’t believe in
high prices. Most wives are the treas
urers of their families, and, as they do
the buying they are much apter than
their husbands to notice it when they
are required to pay more for a thing than
they have been accustomed to pay
When a workingman’s family has been
scrimping and saving for weeks, perhaps
months, in order to renew the ingrain
carpet in the little parlor and dining
room, the housewife is astonished to fin 1
that it costs a good deal more than the
last one. It does not tend to awaken
that woman’s love for the Republican
Party when she learns thatrthe increase
is due to the McKinley tariff, under
which the tax on the carpet is more than
it sells for where it is made. The shawl
that she buys is taxed 157.31 per cent.,
the kid gloves that she wears on Sunday,
the ribbons for herself and daughters,
the flannels and blankets for the family,
their clothing, even the baby’s rattle,
must all pay heavy tributes under the
McKinley law. And this tribute does
not go into the public treasury to pay
the expenses of Government. Were that
the case, and the mouey needed, patriot
ism would make the burdeu bearable.
The tariff taxes are not levied for
revenue, however, but to enrich our
manufacturers, who generally stand much
less in need of protection than do the
people that have to buy their goods.
The present tariff is class legislation in
its worst form—legislation in the interest
of the class whose wealth gives them
political power and, consequently, a
“pull” on Congress. Hence it comes
that those industries which are most
prosperous and best able to bear up
against foreign competition are the ones
that receive most favors from the party
of “protection.” The giants are the
“infanta” that always get to the full bot
tle first.
The Democratic Party is pledged to
reverse the Republican policy—to place
the tariff tax so that it will fall lightest
on the necessaries and ordinary comforts
of life and heaviest on luxuries for which
the rich can afford to pay.
The women do not vote themselvjs,
but the wives who have husbands so
stupid as to wish to cast their ballots for
the party which has made things dear,
and so increased greatly the cost of run
ning the house and dressing the family
decently, will be very likely to bring
such husbands to their senses by the time
election day arrives.
The McKinley tariff is a pair of shears
in the hands of the rich to shear the
wool of the poor. It is against justice,
against common sense.
McKinleyism must go.—San Francisco
Examiner.
McKinley’s Misreprasentations.
Governor McKinley, in his recent Ne
braska speech on the tariff, fairly outdid
himself in bringing forward delusive
statistics. He stated that during the
fifteen years of low tariff, from 1846 to
1861, the balance of trade was $469,.
999)990 againat ut, and that during aU
NUMBER 33.
! that period fliers were only two years
when it was iu our favor. Daring" the
fifteen years from 187d to 1891, Mi*n
McKinley continued, Jhere were only two
years when the balance was against us.
Mr. McKinley chose his years very
shrewdly/ In the fifteen years of higif
tariff from 1801 to 1576 the balance of
trade was in our favor only three years,
and the total balance against us waf
$1,055,000,000; more thau twice as
great as the balance against us during
the fifteen years of low tariff just pro
ceeding. What is more, the balance
was in our favor during the last year of
the low tariff and against .us dimug the
first year of the high tariff.
The gentleman repeated the assertion
made by so marly of his colleagues, that
our trade during the present year has
brought $200,000,000 into the country.
Asa matter of fact it has brought next
to nothing into the country, and gold
exports this year have continued very
late. The country’s exports have ex
ceeded its imports, but we have been
using the surplus to purchase American
securities held by foreigners.
The year after the McKinley bill was
enacted, the balance of trade iu our fa
vor diminished, but Mr. McKinley did
not notice this. He is supposed to be
one of the honest men iu his party, but
if he attempts to deceive the people af
ter this manner, what sort of a party
does he belong to, and how much confi
dence can be placed in the party’s state
ments?—Brooklyn Citizen.
CHOLERA COMING THIS WAY
Extra Precaution Will bs Tata to Keep
It Ont ot This Country.
II Is Now Epidemic in Havre and Ham
burg, Germany.
A Washington dispatch says: The
official confirmation of the reports of the
In v. 1 nee of Asiatic cholera at Havre
and Hamburg, which was received at the
state department Tuesday lias caused
g* iii.ine a'arm. Lines of steamers ply
directly between these ports and New
Y“t' , Philadelphia and Baltimore, and
i-tcps will be In m d'ate'y taken to futni
ea e baggage from the inf* eta and ports.
T e cholera is so fatal and so quick
spreading, however, that at the treasury
department it is considered likely that
sti I more rigid measures will have t* be
taken to keep the dread plague from
these shores.
E ich time the cholera has become epi
demic in Europe it Ia in spite of the
a,I and, in fuct, covered well nigli tile entire
World before running its course. The
ravages of the great scourges of 18150
and 18.30 were both terrible, both in this
country and Europe. The last time
Asiatic cholera was epidemic here was in
1873
Assistant Secretary Spaulding and Act
ing Surgeon General White held a confer
ence Thursday afternoon, but no definite
conc’usions were arrived at beyond the
issuing of instructions to customs aud
quarantine officials to take the ordinary
sanitary precautions against the entry
into American ports of immigrants lrom
infected ports, such as would
obtain in the case of any ordi
nary contagious dis< ae. If mat
ters grow worse and the cholera spreads
rapidly to other countries in Europe, it is
not unlikely that a quarantine will be
established against all European ports.
Should this be necessary, this would in
effect be almost a cessation of interna
tional commerce. It might also prevent
the return of many American tourists
now abroad.
