All Can Help. '
Every one most «earnestly desires a
return of our former prosperous busi-
ness conditions.- It is of very little
moment whether the silver purchase
law is or is not the main cause of the
existing depression, so long as business
men generally believe it to be. As Mr.
Cleveland says, you cannot cure a
fright by calling it. foolish, and while
the actual panic has passed and is not
likely to return, the mere fact that the
silver purchases are regarded as dan-
gerous is sufficient to delay recovery in
business. To stop them is therefore es-
sential, and Congress should grant the
wish of’ the great mas‘seof the American
people by promptly repealing this bill,
but it does not do it, and, it is feared,
will not. It is quite probable, how.
ever, that the repeal of. the Sherman
act now, or within the next few weeks,
will not have all the effect it would have
had a month earlier. But it must be
remembered that the existing condition
of business is not a recent and sudden
thing, but the culmination of tendon-
cies well recognized and reaching a cri-
sis during the past summer as the in-
evitable result of antecedent causes.
Under any circumstances, recovery
from such a crisis must be slow and it
is not certain that the delay of the Sen-
ate has been actually as harmful as it
seems.
While the country is waiting for the
action of the Senate, the necessary pro-
cess of liquidation has been going on
and the general conditions are now
such that some revival of business is in-
evitable, whatever Congress may do or
not do. Indeed such a revival has al-
ready begun, moderately it is true, as
shown by the resumption of mining
and of work in the iron mills and in
the cotton mills, for the simple reason
that the world must have fuel and
clothing and the demand has overtaken
the supply. If the doubts concerning
the currency were settled, so that the
money new again accumulating in the
banks could be profitably and securely
invested in industrial and business en-
terprises, the recovery would undoubt-
edly now go on with a rapidity and cer-
tainty much greater than usual after so
severe a depression.
In the meantime, all have it in their
power and it is a duty to help by every
possible method, to restore the public
' prosperity, upon which individual pros-
perity necessarily depends and to assist
as far as practicable, in reviving the
productive industries of the county.
Where thousands of establishments are
standing idle, being unable to produce
with profit under existing circum-
stances, and many thousands of people
are out of employment, consuming
their own savings or those of o-thers,the
question arises, iwisely says the Tri-
bune, “whether it would not be better
for the employes themselves to secure
the starting of works where that can be
done, by consenting to temporary re-
duction Of wages. While such pro-
posals have been accepted in many
cases, it is noticed that in others they
are resisted by strikes, the men doubt-
less beliving that lower wages are not
necessary to make it possible to run
establishments with profit. This seems
to be the situation just now in Dan-
bury, among its batters. Iu ordinary
times the men have to judge for them-
selves in each case, from what they
know of the business in which they are
engaged. But the circumstances this
year are extraordinary. There is,first,
the question of payments, which are
more uncertain than usual. When the
manufacturer has paid out his capital
for materials and labor, and delivered-
his products, he is still exposed: to a
loss ill-9.013 may be ruinous, through
inability of purchasers to pay for goods
received. Such loss he must face in a
time like this, and it has to be reckon-
ed as part of the unavoidable expense
of operating at all. Then there is
another contingency which affects both
the prices and the sales of a great va-
riety of products. The manufacturer
is entirely unable to judge what
changes may be made in duties on im-
ports, or how far they may" affect his
business. Doubtless there are many
establishments which could continue
production, under ordinary conditons,
with a fair profit even if all duties on
similar imported goods were removed.
But the Conditions which have to be
met this year are extraordinary in three
respects. The general change of Na-
tional policy will encourage foreign
producers to make the utmost effort,
even by selling at a loss for a time, to
break down the manufacture in this
country. The certainty that many
manufacturing concerns must be un-
able to compete, will unavoidably af.
feet the credit of those who continue to
struggle. The purchases of goods will
certainly be much restricted by the
doubt whether cheaper forei n goods
will not presently be offered. In a
great number of cases the manufact-
urers know full well that they cannot
hope to compete w1th foreign com-
petitors, if duties are materially low-
ered without alarge reduction in wages.
The workingmen whose continued em-
ployment depends upon a temporary
reduction of wages have this year.to
take into account this vast and far-
reaching change in conditions. The
fact that reductions have been accept-
' ed by a great number of hands in. var-
ous departments, shows that they re-
alize the new situation.”

as it Happened.
State of New York, 1 as
County of Washington. ) '
Lucien Rodd of Whitehall, N. ¥.,be-
ing by me duly sworn deposes and says
that some years ago he .3 Suffered very
greatly with insomnia, nervous prostra-
tion and his body? was '-covered wrth
sores, causing him great, pain and an-
noyance. That his head was so covered
with sores, thathewamhardly able to
comb or even brush his hair, so great
was the pain it occaSioned.
That he consulted - the local physi-
cians without successful result; that he
took quantities of medicine with no
benefit whatever; that,.physicians told
him his disease was incurable and he
had come to the same-conclusion him-
self and had made up his mind to go to
a hOSpital and awaétdeath.
That just about this time he learned
about Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, which he began to use.
That this remedy entirely relieved and
cured him, healed. and dried up his
sores, enabled him to sleep soundly
and comfortably, and'restored him to
his ordinary vigor and vitality, in short,
made a sound and well man of him
so that he was fully able to work at his
pccupation, and has done so since that
me. ' . » .
That he attributes his recovery to Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem--
edy, as it restored him when everybody
and everything elSe had failed and he
had been given over to go to the hospi-
tal and die. ' '
Mr. Rodd makes this statement vol-
untarily and cheerfully out of sincere
gratitude for what the remedy has
wrought for him. .
