ROBERT YEAGER, m SKJSSitt: Vail orders promptly Attended to. The Pi-iMpet'lfy sun. Prom the Buffalo (N. Y.) Commercial. It has been a standlntc Joke with the ft-ee sllverlue and the IJryanites that If McKlnley was the "advance agent oi prosperity" he was "a long way ahead of the shpw." He seems, however, to have heralded a "show" that has reached the country, that Is In splendid shape, that has come to, stay, and that will draw big houses, and a big busi ness. That sound, relable and conserv ative business paper, the New York Journal of Commerce says: "The loans of the Clearing House banks of this city last week touched the hlKhest figure on record. The leading operations of the banks usually uttain their highest expansion in the month of September, and this current month opens v, ith a total of loans and dis counts amounting to $569,300,000. In September of last year, the highest fetwkly average Was $463,100,000, and In 18, $622,700,000. "Compared with September of the panic year (1S93), the current figures show an Increase of $169,100,000, and with September of 1889 a year o great financial expansion, the crisis of 1800 the increase Is $70,000,000. The com parison shows that the city banks are now lending 11 per cent, more than the highest volume ever attained In the history of their operations. No more complete demonstration Is possible of the completeness of the recovery of business from its late depression. We are far beyond the highest previous normal level of activity." These are figures that do not lie. They silence every calamity howler; they gladden the heart of every work- lngman. They are splendid rea-lng for the laboring men after they come home from their picnic today. For Infants and Children. Tl fie- 1: ea ererr vtijptr. SHENANDOAH GROCERY STORE, GEO.

HEALTH OF BODY AND MIND. A Treatise oT Plijulcnl mid Mental Culture by Dr. Toplinm. We are in receipt of a cony of the hook entitled "Health of Body and Mind," by T W. Topliaiu, 31. I) , ufthe Jlrooklyn Daily Eigle. The question of physical and mental culture is encompassed iu the hook in a manner that cannot be otherwise than n help aud a blessing to a great many people. The desire of man to become more perfect, vigor ous ami healthy has existed iu all ages. The method employed has always been that of phyiical exorcise. Tho author points out what tho penalty is if we disobey Nature's laws and noglect to exercise our muscles suf ficiently to keep them in good condition. The opening chaptots givo in a general way what is disease ; why wo aro sick and how to get well ; how peoplo usually violato Nature's laws, offering suggestions that should awaken an interest in tho thinking mind. The difference between tho healthy man and the "trained athlete1' is shown, to the advaiihigo of tho former. Self-control' is an important chapter, and much spaio i: given to tho proper development of tho muscles, giving them frco play. On this suli jeet tho author says: "This is one of tho ob jects we havo in view, and which will prove a sourco of health, to bo enabled to move easily and gracofully." Sufferers from bilious affections, fever aud ague, indigestion, etc., should use Dr. Hull's Pills, whose powers of curing these ailments are gratefully acknowledged by thousands 10 aud 23 cts.

Leopold has been pastor of this church for five years, and during that timo lias wonder fully increased tho regular attendance and membership. The edifice was not sufficiently large to accominodato tho largo congregation at tho sorvicos yestorday.

FOR Sunlight SOAP WRAPPERS rHS IMPROVEMENT WILL BE GRADUAL. What a A Veil Known liconnmlst Declare the Itepubllcnti Party lins Done. Theodore Justice, the well known Peusylvanla economist, writes as fol Iowa In a recent Issue of the Phlladcl phla Bulletin: There Is no ned any longer to wait for prosperity; It Is hero now, and things are going right. The day for ca lnmity howling Is over, and we have a I rair anu wen balanced tarin law wnicn promises to be reasonably permanent Manufacturers and merchants can now conduct their business with relief from that crushing anxiety that accom panied the Wilson tariff act. The wool schedule of the new tariff, whloh is practically the re-enactment of the McKlnley rates with no changes, except such as were Improvements, is generally regarded with satisfaction by those In business, and the wool grow ers of the United States ure delighted with tho result. Many of them never expected to again see adequate pro tection to their industry. The Wilson afc't eaus'ed prices to fall to the-'forelgn level, and also caused the closing of one-half of the American mills, thus narrowing the market for American wool one-Half, as well as causing a shrinkage of one-half in the value but under the prospect of the restoration of the McKlnley rates oil wool, under the name of tho Dlngley act, mills began to start up and the consumption of wool Is now almost back to normal conditions. It is believed that for the coming year the consump tion of wool by domestic manufacturers will exceed that of any previous year, not only making a market for wool, but giving employment to labor, furnishing it with ability to purchase much need ed household supplies, which spreads money In every direction, thus increas ing the general prosperity. For tho first time In four years there Is not a cloud on the horizon to menace business prosperity. Those who are an ticipating an Immediate boom, however, may be disappointed. The improvement, to be lasting, must be gradual. The tendency of prices will be upward. The prospect of higher cost for material acts as a spur upon the demand. Since the Wilson law was contemplated the tendency of prices for merchandise has been downward, acting as a check to business expansion, for merchants then stocking their shelves were confronted with the prospect of having merchan dise shrink in value before It could be disposed of. Shrinking prices has been the rule, so that loss fell upon the man ufacturer, and upon the merchant; and nothing encouraging accompanied the conduct of business until good times were brought In sight by the election of President McKlnley, who, although de risively termed "the advance agent of prosperity," has proven that many a true word Is spoken in jest. "The ad vance agent of prosperity" is followed by the successful realization of more than was promised, and both employer arid employe can now confidently look forward to a return of the' time when America Is again to be the most pros perous nation. The best thing that can happen to American manufacturers is that they shall have a monopoly of the home market first of all. The worst thins is that foreigners shall occupy this mar ket so largely that the Americans, to meet them, must cut prices below the profit point and then almost give away the surplus to Europeans. The notion that trade over seas is a sign of pros perity is a British notion. It is pro mulgated in this country by free trad ers, who regard the British stamp upon anything, from an economical idea to a high hat, as an assurance of correct ness. We do make some things which we can export at a profit, because we beat the world in producing them, but this is not true of the mass of our manufacturers. Philadelphia (Pa.) Textile Record. The only hope the Democracy now has Is in some unexpected disaster. It wants a combination of strikes with the weevil In the wheat, an early frost, a coal famine, a European tariff war ngainst America to upset the stock market, a pinching out of tho gold supply all these things coming to gether would raise its drooping spirits. But short of that there seems to be no opening for another Democratic raid on the offices and the national indus tries. San Francisco (Cat.) Chronicle. There is no need to worry about the Dlngley law. The men who drew that measure knew what they were doing. They declared that it would raise reve nue enough to support the government, and that will be the result, after the law has got to work fully. There will be no bond sales to provide money with which to run the government,' nor will the nation's credit be Impared in any way. Cleveland (O.) Leader. The enactment of the Dlngley law was a wise act because the government needed a sufficient revenue for Its sup port, and experience ha taught the effectiveness of a protective tariff In building up the industries of the coun try. Business is greatly Improved and prosperity Is returning because of the necessity of such a law and the sense of security growing out of It. Wash ington (D. C.) Star. "Because it is my deliberate Judg ment that the prosperity of America is mainly due to Its system of protec tive laws, I urge that Qermany has now reached the point where it is nenesEary to Imitate the tariff system of the United States." Bismarck. The free traders are not shouting about that recent sale of American tin in foreign markets.
