Wool and Lumber Wili Be the Items Principally Afl‘ected—A Coin Bond Issue Measure May Be Passed. How the Senate Stands. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-,It is. generally understood that Speaker Reed and lead- ing Republican members of the house have decided upon the course to be‘pur- sued under the president’s second mes- sage in relation to the financial condition of the country. The proposed relief is to come in the form of a tariff bill increasing the revenue from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 a year.‘ The measure, it is understood, will be on the lines of the Wilson bill rather than in pursuance of the McKinley idea of pro- tection, the speaker apparently not believ- ing in the attitude of the Ohio statesman. To this tarifi‘ bill may be saddled a 3 per cent coin bond bill, authorizing an is. sue of 80 year bonds, and poSsibly also short term certificates of indebtedness, to preserve the public credit and maintain the treasury reserve. Republican leaders hope to send the new tariff and bond bills to the senate before New Year’s day. It is believed a straight tarifl bill will pass both bodies of congress, . but it is doubtful'if the senate would ac- cept it if it contained a rider in the shape of the proposed bond amendment. ‘ This may result in the preparation of‘ two bills instead of uniting both proposi- tions in one measure. The free silver ma- jority in the senate will oppose the bond bill, and would be strong enough to de- feat both bills if they are consolidated. “’601 and Lumber Tarifl’.‘ Nearly all of the senators from the northwestern states favor a tariff on wool and lumber, and the Republicans, lacking only two of a majority, count on three Populist and two or three Democratic " ,of‘-..t.h.e..i,srii1.: 111.11 mm .‘ "" votes to carry the proposed tarifl bill. 11 incesss Of Undoubted interest to the Pub- lic. . [From the Boston Herald. 1 An address may mean a promulga- tion of Mr. Somebody’ s ideas of some- thing to be expounded in a crowded hall or crowd the columns of some scientific journal. This address, how- ever, is of a practical kind, bearing on the every- -da_v matter of our common health. It is the home address of one who has been greatly benefitted after long sufl'ering, and who wants the pub- lic to know it and benefit by the truth: Mrs. Mary McCarthy, 63 Albany st., Boston, Mass, tells in a straightfor- ward manner that ”three years aoo she first noticed pains in her back, but did not pay much attention to them. They became worse, however, and three months ago, she says, she was almost a wreck. Even sitting was painful, and when attempting anything requiring a bending or stooping of the body, it was excruciating. She says she has applied mustard plasters all the way round her body, but the pains returned. She saw DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS advertised at BBADBUBY’S DRUG STORE and boughtabox and began their use at once. She says, “I am now taking the second box, and they have certainly helped me wonderfully, and I hope others sufl'ering from kidney troubles will read this and get as much good as I have. ” These are the kinds of addresses we like to make to the public. People must be convinced, and that by easily found proof. We can send you addres- ses by the score from every part of the country, but we know you want, and should have, near- -by testimony. Our daily message to you is that DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS is the never- failng remedy for all d1seases of the kidneys, and are in daily use all over the United States. Just think of it! A remedy so universally known that when a man re- marks, ‘My kidneys aren’t right,” there is some one near at hand to say, “Well, take Doan’s Kidney Pills, and that will settle it.” For sale by all dealers.
