Every effort ought to be made that is consistent with the safety of the business interests of the country to postpone the consideration of the cur rency question until after the revision of the tariff. Secretary Cai lisle is con vinced that the monetary conditions are daily becoming more satisfactory. Gold is coming in in adequate amounts and although there have been oc casional renewals of the former de mand for it there seems to have come an end to anything approaching lack of confidence in the Treasury. The financial authorities at Wash ington, agreeing with Mr. Carlisle, are hopeful that the problem can be solv ed without drawing the question into the arena of immediate political de bate. The main issue on which Mr. Cleveland was elected was that of the tariff. That is the issue upon which there is most harmony among Demo cratic Congressman, and that is the one also in which the people of the country are most deeply concerned. The money question is no longer confined to silver coinage. It now embraces the whole subject of our in congruous paper currency and involves the entire system of banking. More over, it cannot be determined without a solution of the difficulties of those communities that have not proper banking facilities ; in other words, that are not possessed of proper credit tokens for the transaction of their business. The settlement of such problems will require very many months of deep study and thorough discussion. And in the mean time it would not be fair to the people who have demanded by an enormous majority that they shall be relieved from the burdens of tariff taxation imposed upon them by the Mc Kinky act that the reform of that act should be postponed. It is probable that the Administra tion will be able to take such steps as will convince the country and the financial world that a proper solution of the monetary question will be even tually reached, and that in the mean time American securities will remain safe investments. This being done, the attention of those who will be in trusted with the task of reforming the tariff will not be distracted, and the promises made by the Democracy can be fulfilled. World. 1 am an old man and have been a constant sufferer with catarrh for the last ten years. I am entirely cured by the use of Ely's Cream Balm. It is strange that so simple a remedy will cure so stubborn disease. Henry Billings, U. S. Pension Att'y, Washing ton, D. C. I suffered for more than ten years with that dreadful disease, catarrh, and used every available medicine that was recommended to me. I can not thank you enough for the relief which Ely's Cream Balm has afforded me. Emanuel Meyers, Winfield, L. I., N. Y. Resolutions.

The owner of the first "economizes" with "cheap" mixed paints, etc.; the second paints with Strictly Pure White Lead The Erst spends three times as much for paint in five years, and his build inga never look as well. Almost everybody knows that good paint can only be had by using strictly pure White Lead. The difficulty is lack of care in selecting It. The JohnT. Lewis & Bros. brand is strictly pure White Lead. " Old Dutch " process ; it is standard and well known established by the test of years. For any color (other than white) tint the Strictly Pure White Lead with National Lead Company's Pure White Lead Tinting Colors, and you will have the best paint that it is possible to put on a building.
