FACED BY ERIN’S”WOE.
The system of boirowing from
Eastern and Northern capitalists
on our lands m«.y yet /urn the
South into an Ireland and put up
on her the curse of an alien land
lordism. It is bad enough to
moitgage the larm to home capt«
tul, but it is far worse to thus ena
slave ourselves to the money pow
er of the North. The plausible
ness of the scheme is only u bait
to catch our unsuspecting farm
ers. The result will be that the
farm will be plucked when tbe
morigage is ripe, and there csd be
no appeal. No mercy, no exten
sion of time need bo expeefed
from strangers, who are only too
glad to gobble up our lands at a
ruinous loss to tbeir former own
ets. Wiili eviction of tenants
and merciless rapacity of capital,
tne cup of our poverty stricken
people will be full. We warn our
people against the snare —From

Perhaps that seems a high price

that they would not give the toss

a man naturally draws back, and
says he does no* " ant to die. Life

We may moralize as much as w/
please about pain; but the fact is
*hal we don’t like it while it lasts
and that wt /ant to get rid of it as
soon as we c l. Whether caused by
rheumatism out, disordered liver,
weak nerves tegular kidneys, bad
blcxwf, or an, hing else that is just
the reverse oi • hat it should be, the
sooner it is Oui of the system the
happier we are. Whether pain is
the result of imprudence or of acci
dent, or is sent as a punishment so;
;ur s-.ns, may be a nice question for
:he philosophers to argue; bu'. peo
ple who are suffering want first to
be mi of the pain, after which those
whoarefond of argumentmay argue
the matter to their hearts’ content.
Above all theory, argument and
philosophy, comes the delightful
fact that Brown's Iron Bitters
driv es pain away. Sufferers run no
risk in trying this medicine, the only
