Weak
Heart From Attack
of LaGrippe.
Palpitation, Smother
ing, Short Breath.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Cured Me.
The terrible after effects of LaGrippe are
most dangerous when they attack the heart,
the engine of life. Weak hearts are as com
mon as weak stomachs and when an attack is
made upon the weak heart, that organ soon
becomes a diseased heart and the patient will
unless promptly treated, suffer long and
eventually die of heart disease, the dread of
millions. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure strengthens
and regulates the heart's action, enriches the
blood and improves the circulation.
"Some years ago I had an attack of the
grip, and it left me with a very weak heart.
Palpitation, shortness of breath and smother
in;; spells that made me sit up in bed to
breathe, robbing me of sleep, made me most
miserable. I would become fatigued and
exhausted from the least exertion and was
in such a critical condition that 1 could not
attend to my business. My physician seemed
unable to control my case, and instead of
Retting better 1 was gradually growing
weaker every day. Then I began taking Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure and after I had used two
bottles I was greatly improved. 1 continued
with the remedy until 1 had taken in all six
bottles, when I was able to attend to busi
ness without inconvenience. 1 was com
pletely and permanently cured of heart
trouble by Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and cheer
fu Iv recommend it to all sufferers from that
terrible affliction." —H. 11. KIILE, Glovers

Editor American Economist:
You keep saying, "Leave the tariff
as it is; let well enough alone," and then
j-ou add, "When It Is time to change it,
have It done by protectionists, by its
friends, not its enemies." Will you kindly
tell me when that time will come, and
how can any change be made without
changing all the schedules? NABS ATI.

to $7.84 a ton, tbe rate In the bingley
law. The duty on tin plates Imposed
by the McKlnley law was 2 2-10 cents
per pound, and with that duty the in
dustry got such a start that the duty
was reduced to l'a cents a pound in
the Dingley law. Many articles were
transferred to the free list in both the
McKlnley and Dingley laws.
It is not inconsistent with good pro
tection doctrine to reduce a duty or
abolish It altogether if it Is no longer
needed, but it must be remembered
that tariff laws are made primarily
for revenue aud the state of the pub

Heavy eating is usually the first cause
ol indigestion. Repeated attacks inflame
the mucous membranes lining the stom

heartburn, headache, sour risings ami
finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol
relieves the inflammation, protects the
nerves and cures the catarrah. Kodol

Our Internal revenue laws furnish a
splendid medium for such changes
without disturbing our tariff, and in

It is altogether different. Even the
possibility of a change of import du
ties causes apprehension, while the
probability and afterward the actuali
ty create havoc and panic. Import
ers and manufacturers must rearrange
prices and wages to suit the changed
conditions, for commerce is conducted
for profit, not sentiment or philanthro
py. When the manufacturer finds he
must sell his goods in competition with
foreign made goods, he must at once
arrange for a reduction In expenses.
Labor cost Is the lirst nnd greatest
thing to be considered, aud the farsee
lng man knows that when wages are
lowered there will be less of his prod
uct purchased, nnd he must curtail his
production. The effect is felt every
where at once, and It soon reaches the
farmer, and his prices, too, mußt fail,
and even then he may not dispose of
his crop, and so consternation falls on
farm and factory alike, and hard
times are known from one end of the
country to the other. This has always
been the effect of tariff reduction or
the probability of repealing protective
duties.
And the reverse has always been
true when low duties were to be In
creased. The business man does not
wait till the signing of a tariff law be
fore making his plans and adopting
his changes. He anticipates every
thing months in advance. There is
nothing that so disturbs business, that
so frightens capital and unsettles la
bor as tariff changes and their antici
pation.
At present we are uniformly prosper
ous all over the country. We have the
