No other preparation has won success at

Lowell, Mats., where It Is made, it It now,
at It hat been for years, the leading medicine
for purlfyiug the blood, and toning aud

It would require a volume
to print all Lowell people
have said In favor of Hood's
Sarsaparilla. Mr. Albert
Kates, living at M East Flue
Street, Lowell, (or 15 years
employed as boss carpenter by J. W. llenustt,
president of the Erie Telephone Company,
had a large running sore come on lilt leg,
which troubled him a year, when lie began to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla. The sore soon grew
lets In size, and in a short time disappeared.
Jos. Dunphy, 211 Cen

Mrs. C. IV. Marriott, wife of tUo First As

the attacks ceased entirely.

Gertrude ltives, the younger sister
of Arnelie Rives Chanlsr, is extremely
fond of horses and a daring ride. She
is almost child like in appearance,
but has no end of pluck. Her father
owns a hadsome collection of horses,
and she spends much time in the
stable directing the grooming of her
favorites. When she was in Richmond,
Va.. last year her fondness for horses
created a good deal of excitement, but
she followed her tastes with the
nonchalance that pertains to her fam

The Democratic leaders have it in
their power to make capital out of the

that at this critical period in the cam

it to great advantage. Wo hud not
seen any such statement, hut doubt
less it is true, or that paper, so careful
in its statements, would not publish
them. Such an exposure, by the
democrats, just at this time, would
have .a wonderful effect upon the
farmers, who carry, a far larger bur
den of the tariff taxes than any other
class of our people. They bear a far
greater burden than all the rest of tfa*
people, and this fact referred to,
would have a powerful effect upon
them. The Republican farmers con
stitute an immense body of the peo
ple, und would surely resent a policy
so injurious to them. This shows the
despotism of the prevailing idea
among the republicans, and the
wreckless spirit which animates them
in upholding the nefarious purpose of
unjustly and unconstitutionally* tax

work the hardest and do tlie most to

It is of the utmost importance for
tlie Democrats to succeed at this elec
tion. The two parties are more spe
cially arrayed against each other in
this mighty struggle, than ever be
fore, with the high tariff staring the
Democrats in the face as professedly
tho permanent policy of the Republi
cans. If we are beaten at this elec
tion the prevailing system will be fas
tened upon tlio country with but little
hope for many years of moderation or
mercy for the people. Political free
dom has tong been jealously proscribed
by tho Republican party, and if the
Republicans are successful now, our
condition will be worse than in any
former period of our history so fur as
the rights and interests of the great
masses of the people are involved.

He is called into service at many
places. His presence creates enthu
siasm wherever he goes. On the 15th
he left Cincinnati on the “Big Four”
for the big democratic barbecue at
Shelbyville. He was attended by 200
members of tlie Dutchworth club, one
hundred aud fifty of the Thurman
club of Cincinnati, fifty moro from the
Thurman club of Columbus, all niceiy
uniformed, besides a large number
who did not go in delegations. He
was taken to the depot by a Cincin
nati escort-committee and the crowd
there gave him a hearty send-off as he
walked into the car. He was heartily
cheered, the train being literally cov
ered with banners and Bandannus.
At Gieensbury hundreds werein watt
ing impatiently calling for Judge
Thurman. JamesB. Townsend, Chair
man of the Ohio State Committee, in
troduced the Judge as the “next Vice
President,” and Judge Thurman told
the crowd: “If yon-Democrats of In
diana do your duty and give us this
State, that may turn out to be true.”
All the towns and people along the
route filled the air with cheers. The
crowd at Shelbyville was way up in
tlie thousands. We cannot make room
for the descriptions of the banners,
the admiring presence of ladies with
their Bandanna parasols. There were
three stands for the speakers, among
them being Senator Voorhees, Gen.
Black, Gov. Gray and others. The
crowd was estimated at from 35 to 40
thousand at the fair grounds. We
pass over all other portions of the Old
Roman’s speech to present to our
readers what lie said of President
Cleveland, reported as follows:
“There never was a President who
took his seat under as trying circum
stances us President Cleveland did on
the 4th of March, 1886. The Demo
cratic party had been out of power
for nearly a quarter of a century. Of
course there were many Democrats
who thought that when we got a
Democratic administration every
Democrat in the land ought to have
a good office. Of course there were
others who wanted no office, but had
their peculiar notions as to bow the
government should bo conducted,
and to meet and satisfy tlie wishes of
the people, those who elected him
President of the United States, that
man Cleveland had the hardest task
that ever was encountered by a Presi
dent. And how has he performed
that task? The people’s answer to
that question is found in the fact
that ufter three years and a half of
his administration, tlie Democratic
convention at St. Louis renominated
him by a unanimous vote. Thutnom-
iuntion has been ratified by tlie De
mocracy of the whole country, from
Maine to Mexico, with the same ac
cord and unanimity.
Now, my friends, let me toll you
that no second rate man was ever
renominated for tho Presidency of
tho United States by a unanimous
vote; and the fact that Mr. Cleveland
lias so conducted himself that his ad
ministration Jms been so cleanly, so
upright, so honest, so patriotic that
the whole Democratic party, from
one end of the republic to the other,
said, “Let us give him another term,
he has done well witli the trust that
has been confided in him. Let us
take him again, for wo know lie will
do well in another term.” [Great ap
plause.]
Let me say once more, no dishonest
man, no second rate man, nobody
but a gi’eat man, nobody but an up
right, industrious, courageous man,
ever yet was honored in this way, and,
therefore, in answer to what is said
against President Cleveland, is "Be
hold, the American people have
spoken in his favor.” [Applause.]

Thurman was interrupted by fits of
coughing, so he cut his speech short

The report of Win. D. H. Washing
ton, United States Consular Agent
at London, Ontario, to tho State
Department has created quite a
stir among the high protection
republicans. Mr. Washington’s
report states that Oliver chilled
plows, made at South Bend, Indiana,
are sold in Canada at $10 each
wholesale and $12 each retail, while in
tho United States they cost $14 each
wholesale, and $10 each retail. Simi
lar discrimination is shown against
tlie United States farmer in regard
to the Syracuse and the South Bend
plows. These figures are remarkable
because American plows entering
Canada have to pay a duty of 35 per
cent ad valorem. One of Walter A.
Wood’s American self-binding reapers,
which costs in the United States from
$150 to $170, can be bougtit iu Caua-
for $118. Smaller agricultural tools,
such asspades, shovels and forks, after
paying from 35 to 75 per cent ad valo
rem, are sold in Canada as cheap or
cheaper than in this country. These
figures are calculated to set the
American farmer to thinking about
tlie alleged benefit lie receives from a
high protective tariff. The high tariff
keeps out foreign implements, and
enables tho manufacturers of the
United States to make their own
prices, but in Canada they have to
compete with foreign manufacturers,
hence the lower prices there.
The House was in session only two

Georgia Agricultural Experiment.
Station.
ANNOUNrKMKNT BY W. L. JONKS,
On the 18th of February, 1888, The
Agricultural Experiment Station was
established by the board of trus
tees of tlie University of Georgia, as
a department of the Stato College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, in ac
cordance with tlie provisions of t.he
act of Congress approved March 2,1837,
and known ns tlie Hutch Act. The
assent of the State of Georgia to the
provisions of the Act was made by
tho Governor of the State, authority
to do so having been given by a sup
plementary Act of Congress passed
June, 1888, aud tlie University of
Georgia was designated by him us the
rocipient of the funds appropriated
by Congress under tlie provisions of
said Act. Witli tlie funds appropri
ated for the first fiscal year, ending
June 30th, 1888, buildings belonging
to the University have been remodel
ed and fitted for the work of the Sta
tion: ample laboratories and work
ing rooms have been provided ; plant
house, dairy, cattle stalls and silos
built. In addition a splendid equip
ment of chemical apparatus, ineteor-
logioal instruments, microscopes, pho
tographic outfit, and a large working
or reference library has been procur
ed. A farm of sixty-five aires, with
building, work stock and tools (lying
just without tlie corporate limits of
tlie city of Athens) lias been given to
tlie Station by the Trustees of tlie
University. A majority of the work
ing staff of the Station has been ap
pointed, others soon will bo, and the
Station is ready to begin the work re
quired by tlie laws under which it was
established. Attention will be given
first to problems of most pressing,
practical importance to the fanners,
fruit growers, dairymen and stock
men of the State. Tlie Station in
vites suggestions from those interest
ed In its work. It desires to learn the
points on which light is most urgent
ly needed. The Station was estab
lished for the benefit of those engaged
in rural pursuits, and they have tlie
right to apply to tlie Station for any
assistance that comes within its legit-
mate province. Tlie results of the in
vestigations made by tlie Station will
be published and distributed free of
cost, and become the common pro
perty of all.
The Station will have facilities for
analyzing fertilizers, cairv products
and stock food ; for studying ttie dis
eases of£nseful plants; for investiga
ting the depredations of insects
and the means of combatting them ;
and for testing the purity anil germi
nating power of seeds sold in the mar
kets. It will <io such work for the
citizens of Georgia free o( charge ;
provided

terest and of use to tlie public, and
the Station is free to publish them if
it so desires.

cording to directions of the Station,
and freight prepuid,
Tlie Station cannot undertake pri
vate work, and can make no examina
tions the results of which it cannot

good. »
Tlie Station will publish an annual
report, and issue bulletins quarterly
or oftener; and these will be mailed
regularly, free of charge to any citi.
zen of tho State who requests it.

subsidiary culture stations established
in different parts of tlie State; refer
ence being had in their location to lo
cal peculiarities of soil and climate.
The work at these stations will be lim
ited to meteorological observations
und field experiments, conducted un
