DEAPHESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications ns they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. Tiler-, is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness ii caused
by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube. When the tube "cts inlliimed
i you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect neanug, ami wnen ins en
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and the tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will bo
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

(Sporlal Correspondence.)
Harrlsl.urK. Sept. 25 Reports from
different counties tn Pennsylvania,
carefully gathered within the last few
weeks, nl' "'"iw that the cry of "Imperi
alism" Is having 119 effect upon Repub
lican voters, and that many Democrats
nre denouncing Bryan for his course
on this issue, which haR leen encourag
Ing the Insurgents in Luzon to continue
their hostility toward the United
States.
I.eailinc politicians Identified with
the state committee of the Democracy
In Pennsylvania have been making
wild boasts about the Democratic gains
that are to be recorded at the coming
election on aconnt of the policy of the
McKinley administration regarding the
Philippines. The president has put
himself squarely on record on this is
sue, ami in his recent letter of accept
ance of the nomination for vice presi
dent Col. Roosevelt was equally em
phatic In expressing himself on this
subject. His U tter contained one pass
ace whiih presented Bryan's false "par
amount" issue in a novel aspect, and
maile valuable addition to the liter
ature of the present campaign.
ROOSEVLT TELLS THE STORY.
Col, Roosevelt said:
"Properly speaking, the question
Is not whether we Rhall expand
for we have already expanded but
whether we shall contract. The
Philippines are now part of Amer
ican territory. To surrender them
would be to surrender American
territory."
Bryan's position could not be more
clearly explained nor more forcibly
expressed in five times the space allot
ted to him in these three sentences.
Bryan is not an antl-lmperlallst, for
no such tiling as Imperialism threatens
the t'niteil States, and no American Is
nn Imperialist. Bryan Is a contrac
tlonlst; a contract ionist of American
territory. If he has his way. Governor
Roosevelt Is an antl-contractionlst.
The governor's letter effectively sup
plemented McKlnley's discussion of
the Philippine policy with this straight
forward proposition:
"To turn over the Islands to Aguinal
do and his followers would not be to
give self government to the Islanders;
under no circumstances .vouni tho
jorlty thus gain self government. They
would simply be put at the mercy of
a syndicate f Chinese half breeds, un
aei' whom corruption would flourish
far more freely than ever It flourished
under Tweed, while tyrannical oppres
sion would obtain to a degree only
possible under such an oligarchy."
Mary Democrats throughout Penn
sylvania and the Union at large have
refused to follow Bryan In the present
I canvass on account of his go-ca''
anti-imperla1lstle" campaign.
1 WANTS COMMERCIAL EXPANSION.
A well known Democrat of this city,
who, for years, was prominent in the
1 councils tf the Democracy of Pennsyl
! vanla, In commenting upon the Bryan
. plan of campaign yesterday, said:
For yeurs the Democratic party
has been clamoring for a return of
the old commercial prosperity; the
prosperity which sent the clipper
ships of the I'nlted States Into ev
ery sea on the globe, but now that
1 an ideal opportunity Is offered
whereby the long sought end may
be attained the party turns its
back squarely upon it. The Demo
j cratlc party is in the position of
Moses viewing the expanse of
promised land and then dropping
dead. As for Bryan, he Is simply
addinir another chapter to his old
time fallacy of 10 to L
I believe In expansion for com
mercial reasons. Trade with the
east was the financial making of
all the ancient nations, and it ac
counts for the present prosperity
of many modern ones. Columbus
stumbled over this continent while
searching for an easier route to the
East Indies than the path then
known, and since the time of Tyre
the east has supplied the commer
cial wealth of tho most prosperous
nations of Europe. At first It was
trade with India only and some of
the adjacent islands. Later Japan
and China became big factors, and
now, when the United States s In
a position to practically monopo
lize, or If not that to control, a
great part of the eastern' com
merce, the Democratic party
throws up its hands and protests.
Consider the advantage which
this country has over otheis. In
the first place our Pacific coast la
about 3,0U(I miles nearer to tw
eastern trading center than any ,
the European nations. We have
besides a half way station I n the
Hawaiian islands, and in the Phil
ippines what has rightly been
termed the doorway of thfi east.
Thus equipped, the United States
Is second to no other countvy In its
ability to carry on a successful
trade with China and Jar.an."
No patriotic and wide a' wake Amer
ican should support Bryan.
