A Few Stubborn Pacts. '
The commercial and mercantile re
ports indicate a coiillilence iintl sta
bility in all lines of industry and
truth. The activity in the stock
luaiket at the opening of the year
wns must marked anil strengthens
the opinion that money now idle will
soon find its way into tho channels of
trade and enterprise. The failures
for 1SU7, in spite of the general de
pression and stagnation with which
the year opened, show the smallest
aggregate of liabilities of any year
since 1892. The llgures. by dilferent
branches of business, show that in
fifteen out of twonty-eiglit classes the
fuilures were lower than in any pre
vious year of which there is a record.
The fact that prices can move up
ward, notwithstanding the claims last
year of tho silver men that perma
nently increased prices could not come
under the present standard money,
has been thoroughly demonstrated.
Slight reactfbhs, of course, oceur.and
are looked for; but the trend of the
market is steadily for improvement.
With the incoming of the present
administration, pledged to a delluite
economic policy and tho continuance
of the present one hundred cent
standard, there was at once a very
marked decline in banking and manu
facturing failures. The number has
been growing smaller ami smaller as
compared with the corresponding
periods of last year, anil tho lirst
week of the new year llntls all
brunches of business and industry
standing upon a basis of permanence
which stimulates all other and de
pendent industries to activity. Hunk
clearings last week, largely swollen
by the annual settlement, reached
$1,418,000,000, one of the heaviest
figures in the history of the country,
being an increase of eighteen per
cent, over the week previous and of
twenty-four per cent, over tho cor
responding week of 1897.
The payment of the enormous sum
of $54,000,000,00 by the Union Pacific
syndicate to the government has been
completed. This was done without
its effect being in the least felt by the
money market, notwithstanding it is
a transaction which eclipses anything
of the kind everbofore known iu this
country.
The prices of farm products con
tinue good and our export trade is
enormous. Tho figures for 1897 show
that tho United States furnished
more than one half of tho wheat re
quired by European importing
countries. Our exports of American
wheat and Hour aggregated 182,000,000
bushels out of the world's shipments
of 320,000,000 bushels.
One of tho most satisfactory com
mercial features of 1897 bus been the
increased demand abroad for corn.
During tho month of Deceinber
neurly twice as much corn went to
Kuropo as in the corresponding
month of 1890. The total exports
of corn last year amounted to 180,
000,000 bushels, or neatly 70,000,000
bushels more than in previous year.
There is no country iu the world that
can in tiny wise compete witli the
United States in growing corn, anil if
we can establish a largo and increas
ing market abroad for the product,
it will bring our farmers untold
wealth.
These are stubborn facts, and indi
cate stability in business channels.

APLAUGE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
TAL TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BY A NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Reraarltahlo Number of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pllo Cure.
About one person ir eM:ry four suflcrs fiom
some form of rectal disease. The most com
inon and annoying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth, slight moisture and intense, un
controllable itchhin the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give torn
poraiy relief, but nothing like a permanent
cure can be cvpectetl from such supciiicial
treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is (lie l'jramid File Cure, not
only for itching piles, but for every other form
of piles, blind, bleeding or protruding. The
first application gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes a per
manent lemoval of the tumors or the small
parasites which cause the intense itching anil
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians (or a loug time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
I') ramid File f 'ure was because it was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful anahsis of the remedy showed it to be
absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, or
in fact any poisonous, injurious thugs what
ever. Foi this reason the Pyramid File Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively recom
mended by physicians, because it is so safe, so
prompt in the relief alTo'detl and so far as
known the only positive cme for piles except
a surgical operation.
In one year the pjtainid File Cure lias he
come the best known, the safest and the most
extensively sold of any pile cure before the
public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at 50 cents
and $t per package.
Address the l'jramid Co., Marshall, Mich.,
for book on cause and cure of piles and also
hundreds of testimonials from all parts of the
United States.
If suffering fiom any foim of piles ask your
druggist for a package of Pyramid Pile Cure
and try it to-night.

Hut If you have weak kidneys, bladder
trouble or distressing kidney complaint, then
Swamp-Hoot will prove to be Just the remedy
you need. Too frequent desire to urinate,
scanty supply, pain or dull ache In tho back

There Is comfort in tho knowledge so often
expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Itoot,
tho great kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of tho urinary I
passage. It corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects j
following uso of liquor, wiuo or beer, and j
overcomes that unpleasant necessity uf being
compelled to get up many times during tho '
night to urinate. The mild and the extra-!
ordinary cflcct of Bwamp-ltoot fa soon

wonderful cures of the most distressing rases.

about, if possible, the adoption of a

Tho majority of the minors nnd ope
rators agree that It will bo dlilkult to
ii void a repetition of the troubles of last
year. Other questions beside the dis
puted woire scale will enter Into tho
controversy. It Is said the largest ope
rators in the east are now willing to
concede the seals of CO cents, for which
tho men struck last year. This would
mean an advance of about 28 per cent
over present prices. While the men
have maflio no forim! demand on the
operatorr, It has been paid on the au
thority of one of the. ofllclals of the
United Mine Workers of America that
the 00 cant scale will not be accepted
without other concessions, nnd oven
