Cured Me.
The nails turning blue is asijjnof defective j
circulation as is the bloating of the arms and j
h-;s. Other common symptoms of heart dis- |
1 ISC are shortness of breath from slight ex- j
i rtion, pain in or near heart, smothering |
Us, palpitation or fluttering, weak, tired ,
and hungry spells, dreaming and nightmare, j
udden starting in sleep. In severe cases the j
brain, stomach, lungs, etc., may become so |
ihsoraered as to mislead tlie physicians as to i
Ihe nature of the disease. If you suffer from j
;ny or all of these symptoms your heart is j
diseased an ) treatment should not be post- ]
ported a single day. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure j
is guaranteed to help you as it has helped j
thousands of others.
• "I owe my life to Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
Alter four doctors met in consultation on my i

from heart disease so long that they could do |
nothing for me an ! I would surely die. My

When I began takin;- r my nails had turned ;
hi ;e ami toy arms and legs werf bloated to
twice their natural size, and I lay in a stupor j
most of the time. Alter the first few doses
dizziness went away and after three bot- '

Hociliroclty In Competitive ProdaetM
Would I tievi tn lily I.en<l to tlie
Downfall of the Sywtem of Protect- ;
ins Lalxir mill Industry.
In contending that reciprocity in
-ompetitive products is the right policy
the United States to adopt tlie Des
Moines Register and Leader, a Repub
lic in' newspaper, exhibits a "progres
sive" tendency far in advance of the
general mass of Republican writers
and speakers. At its present rate of
"progress" it will soon land squarely !
In the free trade camp. It can land i
nowhere else, for once the system of j
protection begins to be abrogated in
spots through special trade arrange- j
meats whereuuder foreigners are en- i
couraged to undersell American prod
ucts in tlie American market protec- '
lion as a national and uniform policy ■
must cease to exist.
Keciprocity in competitive products is
the beginning of the end of protection. .
That is why such reciprocity is op- j
posed by the American I'rotective Tar- ;
iff league. For the same reason tha
best Republican thought of the country
opposes it. Outside of a few special lo
calities which clamor for free trade in
the tilings they have to buy, but insist j
upon protection for the tilings they I
have to sell—outside of lowa and cer- j
tain parts of New England, where some >
people 'foolishly imagine that they can j
have free coal, free iron ore, free wool,
free hides, etc., while at the same time
retaining tariff protection on their tin- j
ished products—generally speaking, we
say, there is no sentiment among Re- j
publicans for reciprocity in competitive
■products. If therefore the Tariff league
is in line with Republican thought on i
this question, is it not doing a good
work for Republicanism and protec
tionism in endeavoring to point out the |
danevrs anj disadvantages of reciproe
in competitive products? The Dm .
UoinOs Register and Leader, however, ;
thinks otherwise:
The Protective Tariff league and the !
American Economist in their opposition J
to Cuban reciprocity have done more to j
weaken the hold which the protective
policy has upon the American people j
and to give color to the suspicion,
which Democratic free traders are al
ways ingeniously encouraging, that
perhaps after all the policy is dictated
more by selfish interests than any other
two agencies that have been engaged iu

FREE TRADE HARD TIMES OF FIFTY
YEARS AGO.
Instructive Contract lletween the
nnil Condition* Then und tl>e
Splendid Protection Pro»i»ertty of
tlie Present Iluj'.
It lias always been the practice of
protectionists to avoid theoretical rea
soning and to base all argument and
conclusion upon nctiiiil facts and fig
ures, drawing comparison with the ex
periences of the past rather than in
dulging in guesswork for the future.
It will be instructive at this time togo
back just fifty years to the "prosper
ous" free trade times of 1853 and com
pare them with the prosperous protec
tion times of lOtti. At the former pe
riod all conditions except low duties
had been most favorable for a number
of years and conducive to prosperity.
Soon after the enactment of the Walk
er tariff in 1546 came the Mexican war,
the famine and short crops abroad, tlie
discovery of gold in California and the
political upheavals in Europe, which
culminated in the Crimean war of
1854-55. Said the Hon. William 1).
Kelley in congress Feb. 10, ISO 7, speak
ing of the causes which led to the de
plorable condition of the country iu
ISTm and the years following:
"The decade that followed that year
(1847) was a memorable one. The po
tato rot decimated Ireland, affecting
the other British islands, and spread to
the continent of Europe, and we ex
ported in one year tlie then unprece
dented amount of $08,000,000 of grain.
We imported and consumed the Im
mense quantities of foreign goods, and
as the quantity of these increased the
demand for the labor of the American
workman diminished. We imported
coal for use in the manufactories and
the propulsion of locomotives. We im
ported rails to lay over our coal fields
and iron beds. Wages fell to rates as
low as they had been In 1820 and 1821
or in 1810 and 1841. California gold
had fled from us as from a pestilence.
We had nothing to show for our un
usual exports of grain and provisions.
The resources of the government were
shrinking monthly and its credit was
again destroyed, and in little less than
ten years from the going into effect of
the revenue tariff of 1840 the entire
banking system of the country col
lapsed. The people were prostrated
and idle and discontented."
During the fiscal year 1853 our im
ports amounted to $203,777,205, while
our exports were only $203,489,282. An
adverse balance of trade amounting to
$00,000,000 fifty years ago was a se
rious condition, and yet for tlie previ
ous six years the balance of trade had
been against us annually. Over SIOO,-
000,000 of gold had already been sent
abroad in part liquidation for the cheap
goods which we were importing to the
displacement of goods that we should
have made at home. In short, for sev
eral years we had been employing the
cheap labor of Europe to do our manu
facturing for us. The figures of im
ports and production of bar and pig
iron for the few years following IS4O
will show how the former increased
and the latter fell off:

AND PIG IRON.

ISuo!!!! 337,532 56-1,000
1851 341,750 413,000
The above figures are taken from
Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for Feb
ruary, 1852.
We tvere consequently idle, particu
larly in our workshops. Our total man
ufactures in ISSO were valued at only
a little over $1,000,000,000, and it is
estimated that in 1553 the value of our
manufactures was even less than this
amount. And yet in 1003, with only
about three times the population that
we had in 1853, we are manufacturing
fully fifteen times as much as during
the free trade year of fifty years ago.
In tlie latter half of 1853 there were
numerous and important failures, fol
lowed by a great stringency in the
money market and a consequent con
traction of loans and discounts. The
fact of tlie matter was that by 1553
this country had to depend upon ordi
nary and usual conditions ot' business.
We had been feeding a large portion
of the world besides ourselves, we had
been expending an unusual amount of
money for the expenses of war, we had
been digging out of tlie ground mil
lions upon millions of gold to add to
our wealth and we had been reaping
advantages from many and unusual
outward and extraordinary events un
til, when we were left to our own re
sources and to the normal condition of
business, and that, too, without any
work to do. as our markets were glut
ted with the cheap goods made by for
eign labor, then came the signs of pan
ic and business depression, which deep
ened as the years went on till ruin
stared us in the face, both as a nation
and individuals.
Political writers at that time and
since have called attention to an excess
of revenue which existed during those
earlier years of that free trade period
from IS4O to 1801. It is true that there
was an excess of revenue during the
first yeiys of that period, but this was
not wholly due to customs duties. I.arg>
sums were realized in those days from
the sale of public lands. For Instance,
In the years of 1854-55-50 there war
nearly $"0,000,000 realized from sueli
sales. But It must be reulbmbered
that the treasury of 1853, or. In fact,
of any year during the free trade pe
riod of IS4O to 1801, had no such provl
sions to make, even comparatively, jjs
those at present. For instance, our ex
pendituros in 1553 amounted to s4l.
000,000. There was no $140,000,000 for
pensions in those days; there was n<"
$30,000,000 for Interest on the pul::t<
