Tho Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen "Although, my school does not believe in patent medi cines, I have found it to be a fact that Peruna is a grand and valuablo medicine. I have known it to cure Mrs. Sampson, suffering with an in flamed womb, nggrevated by malaria, after the doctors had failed to help her. Another of my former patients suffered with a complication of female diseases; she was so thin, nothing but skin and bones, but Pei una cured her nnd she is today in good health and good flesh. Facts piovo that Penina revives lost strength and restores to the sick that most wonderful blessing of life health." Lucy Annie Helser. THE MARKETS. Wall Stroct lUvlew.

Tho palhv and lumltuilc ol the market teemed to spur the profewlonal traders to a March tor aome medium ot operation and they gate themseltce up to a speculative revel in Sugar. The fluc tuations In t Ida stock wcro frequent, violent and erratic, and there was no news to account tor them bctoml the alrltst and most unsubstantial rumors. AIo, It was evident that the enor mous business being done would necessitate very little clerical labor on the transler books ol the rompaii) Probably the large majority ol the contracts made cither for lale or for purchase, were closed out before the end of the day the profit or loss being accepted by the traders.

The price inrii oegan to nil men on ngni inroac tlens and without any evidence of support. The leading lndustrlils thoned sympathy with Sugar, especially Anurlcan Tobacco, which Is nearest of kin to It In ppeuilatlve character. The latter stocks shnned better resistance to reaction than other specialties which generally lost pretty much all their gains. The general list continued in a slough of despond and moved either way with great dinicully.

"My physician prescribed dif ferent medicines, none of which seemed to help me any until a club associate udvlspd me to try Peruna. as It cured her of constitu tional headache and stomach troubles.

"I constantly improved and before the seventh bottle was completely used, all pains were gone, my strength was restored, and I now seem ten years' younger.

Sho Raises Enormous Revenues Without Burdensome Taxation. iTom the New orK Sun. A most complete and lucid report on the economic condition of the Ger man empire has Just been made by Mr. Harris-Gastrell, the commercial attache to the British embassy at Ber lin. The figures which ho handles ap pear at first sight to be rather start ling, but on close examination, so far from being alarming, they place the financial condition of the empire in a very satisfactory light, and show how It lu that It beajs what appears to be enormous burdens with relative ease. Taking the Imperial Budget first, it Ih shown that the nrmy and navy absorb full B3 per cent, of tho imperial re venue, which Is $356,080,000, as against $101,4715,000 In 1S72. The cost of tho army then waB C6,C5,000; It is now $133,370,000, making, with the cost of the navv added, the military expenses of the German empire for the current year upward of $205,O0O,C00. When the revenues of the various states, each of which has Its separate budget, are added to the Imperial revenue, tho to tal attains the prodigious figure of almost $1,125,000,000; of this sum the revenue of the kingdom of Prussia amounts to $581,570,000. The empire Itself, owing to tho In demnity received from France after the war of 1S70-71, started free of debt, for out of the money received from France it paid off the debt of tho old North German confederation, and in 1S77 It owed only $4,000,000. Now the deht has run up to $575,000,000, with an annual Interest charge 6f $18,785,000 Each year sees an augmentation, and tho naval programmo alonei will in crease the dbt by $150,760,000, which is to be borrowed. All the Imperial debt may be said to havo been con tracted for military purposes, $369, 225,000 being for the army, $90,000,009 for the navy. $J2,!35,000 for strategic railways, $26,2223,000 for the Kaissr Wllhelm canal. The revenue of the kingdom of Prus sia has risen from $166,250,000 In 1S72 to S5S1.570.000. and the debt has grown to $1,647,920,000, being an Incrense of 414 per cent, since 1872. The interest charre Is $57,085,000. This Is the dark side of the account, and for a country like Germany it seems dark enough It may be asked how does the country bear such bur dens.' The answer is, pailly because its industrial and economic develop ment has been unprecedented, and be cause a large portion of the totals Just given represent neither public burdens In tho way of taxation nor public debt ns generally understood. The greater part of the Prussian debt has been Incurred In tho construction or purchase of the rnllways, and so rcmaikable has been the expansion ot the railway system and business that the gross receipts of the sta$e-owned railways have risen from $36,540,000 In 1S72 to an estimated $310,000,000 in tho present year. The money boi rowed by the Prussian government has been invested in public undertakings which are proving, more profitable each year with the expansion of the German trade. The 'total debt charge is un der $00,000,000 and the fstlmated net receipts for this year are $133,000,000 It is this that accounts for the few complaints heard ot burdensome taxa tion in Prussia or any of tho other states embraced In tho empire. Notwithstanding the heavy military expenditure In Germany, Uursla lends Europe in the expenditure on public education. Its budget this year for elementary education exceeds $20,000, 000, against less than $1,000,000 in 1871: for higher schools It has risen from $420,000 to $3,085,000, and for universi ties from $055,000 to $2,555,000. In 1871 only $73,000 was spent on industtlal schools, nnd the estimate now Is $1, 403,000. In other respects tho Prussian state stands out as a model of pro giess. The total debt of Germany, im perial and state, is $2,615,000,000, and the cross income of about $1,125,090,000, and of this no less than $473,500,000 Is represented by the gross receipts of all tho state railways In Germany, so that for all puposes of the empire, and In Its position ns an agglomeration of Independent states, Germany has only to raise about $651,500,000 by taxation Scranton Board of Trade Exchange Quotations All Quotations Based on Par of 100.
