Three Women Believed of Female
Troubles by Mrs. Pink-ham.
From Mrs. A. W. Smith, 69 Summer
St., Biddeford, Me.:
For seveial years I suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex.
Was troubled with a burning sensation
across the small of my back, that all-
gone feeling, was despondent, fretful
and discouraged! the least exertion
tired me. I tried several doctors but
received little benefit. At last I de
elded to give your Lydla E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef
fect of the first bottle was magical.
Those symptoms of weakness that I
was aflicted with, vanished like vapor
before the sun, I eannot speak too
highly of your valuable remedy. It la
truly a boon to woman."
From Mrs. Mbussa Phtixips, Vex

"Before I began taking your ytdlclne
I had suffered for two years with that
tired feeling, headache, backache, no ap

The attention of the public at Madrid
is absorbed In the condition of the
Dank of Fpnln, which la considered
more serious than nny reverse of the
war, Inasmuch as the Impossibility of
the bank to help the government
means the Impossibility to continue
the war, the expenses for conducting
which amount to $27,000,000 a month.
. There was a long procession at the
bank last Wednesday, All classes ftf
people were represented, nnd many
women were In line awaiting their
turn to change notes Into silver, fear
ing the notes would soon be subjected
to a discount.
If the run continues there la danger
of the bank's stock of silver becoming
exhausted, which would compel the
government to resort to a forced cur
rency, Issuing notes of small demlnn
tlon. The banks have only $20,000,000
In silver to meet a note circulation of
L'fiOiOOO.OOO.
The financial outlook of Spain Is
rather dark. Tho government has en
trusted the Bank of Hpaln with the ne
gotiations for a loan of 1.000,000,000
pesetas at 4 per cent, which sum In to
be raised as and when required. The
bank will endeavor to raise the loan at
home nnd abroad.
The statement from Madrid In whnt
seemed to be almost seml-ollli lnl form
of the ncuteness of the financial
stringency there and the plain Intima
tion that the Hank of Hpain, and con
sequently Spain, were nenring the end
of their financial resources was re
garded at the state department at
Washington as of more real signifi
cance than many of the stories of bat
tles on Jand nnd son that have been
coming over the cables for the pant
few weeks. The effect of this notice
may be to hasten the operations
against Porto Rico, lest the prize slip
from our grasp through a sudden nnd
unexpected termination of the war.
CONGRESS.
BIrUTI.
Marked progress was mnde by the
Senate Wednesday towards the final
disposal of the war revenue measure.
The Interest of the session centered In
the action taken upon the amendment
of Mr. Oorman (Dem., Md.) levying a
tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent, upon
the gross receipts of all corporations
doing business exceeding $250,000 a
year. By a direct vote upon It the
amendment was rejected, 27 to 34. For
the paragraph placing a tax upon
dealers In leaf tobacco the committee
offered this substitute: "Dealers In
leaf tobacco, whose annual sales shall
not exceed 60.000 pounds, shall each
pay $A; where the annual sales ex
ceed 60,000 pounds and do not exceed
100,000 pounds, $12; over 100,000 pounds,
$24." The substitute was adopted. In
the remaining paragraphs relating to
the tobacco tax the tax was levied up
on the number of pounds handled, In
stead of upon the aggregate price of
the tobacco; and upon the number of
cigar manufactured Instead of on the
cost of the cigars.
When consideration of the commit
tee amendments to the bill was resum
ed, the proviso allowing a discount of
7' per cent, on sates of beer stamps
was modified by Inserting the words
"By collectors to brewers." The spe
cial taxes were made to the effect "on
and after July 1, 1898."
While the war revenue measure was
not passed by the entire senate Friday,
two very Important votes were taken,
one on a proixisltlon to coin the sliver
bullion In the treasury and to Issue sil
ver certificate against the coin, and
the other on the bond proposition pre
sented by the Republican minority of
the committee on finance.
In lieu of the seigniorage amendment
offered by the majority of the finance
committee, Mr. Wolcott (Tlep., Col.)
proposed an amendment directing the
secretary of. the treasury to coin the
silver bullion In the treasury and to Is
sue sliver certificate againat it. After
some discussion a vote , was reached
and the amendment was agreed to, 46
to 81, several Republicans voting for It.
Mr. A Id rich (Rep., R. I.) then pressed
the amendment of the minority of the
finance committee, providing for the
Issue of $100,000,000 of certificates of in
debtedness and $300.00,000 of bonds, to
be used exclusively for the payment of
the expenses of war. After an extend
ed debate, the question was brought to
an Issue and by the decisive vote of 45
to 81 the bond amendment was Incor
porated In the bill, as a substitute for
the amendment to issue legal tender
notes.
I0DBI.
Wednesday's session of the House
was given to the consideration and
passage of a bill called up by Mr. Jen
kins (Hep., Wis.) to remove all politi
cal disabilities Incurred by the third
section of the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution. The debate gave
rise to notable speeches from Mr.
Grosvenor (Rep., O.) and Mr. Settle
(Dem., Ky.) upon the obliteration of
all sectional feeling and the reality at
last of a reunited country. Incidental
to the debate several members re
viewed the conclusion that a member
of Congress could not hold simultane
ously a military and a civil office.
The Secretary of War Thursday sent
to Congress a request for appropria
tions amounting to $5X879,358. These
appropriations will be used for the
equipment and maintenance until Jan
uary 1, 189, of the 75,000 volunteers
recently called for by the President.
The several Items are given as follows:
Pay of volunteers, $14,099,881; sub
sistence of the army, $5,147,477; regular
supplies of the quartermaster's depart
ment, $1,600,000; horses for cavalry and
artillery. $1,90,000; barracks and quar
ters, $1,600,000; army transportation,
$14,000,000; clothing for the army, $13,
000.000; contingencies of the army, $60,.
000; equipment of engineer troop. $25,
000; signal service of the army, $37,000;
civilian assistants to engineer officers,
$20,000.
The House practically without de
bate passed Thursday the urgency de
ficiency bill, providing for emergency
expenses of the army and navy de
partments. Incident to the war. It was
based upon estimates received recently
from the departments, and carries
Items contemplated In the Philippine
expedition and the early movement
upon Cuba.
In -committee of the whole Mr. Can
non, chairman of the appropriation
already mads on account of the war
and likely to develop as essential, in
cluding the drat six months of thecom
ing fiscal year, at $850,000,000. In re
sponse to a question from Mr. Dlngley.
Mr. Cannon said the war would cost
approximately $800,000,000, provided it
Should continue one year.
It Is estimated that there are (00,

TRADE REVIEW.
CmilulBg tin War, Thin Wirt 1st hw rtlliris
Daring If ty -Onet Whnt Crept la PmsMt.
K. Q. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade reports as follows for laBt
week:
May, having been the first full
month of actual war, the fact that
failures In that month were smaller,
eve though but little, than In the cor
responding month last year, and
nearly 10 per cent smaller than In
May, 1806, la somewhat encouraging,
the more because a year ego the re
markable decreaae In May gave proof
of the heavy Improvement In business
which made the year so gratifying In
general results. Large failures were
eight In manufacturing, for $2,385,000,
this year, aguinst thirteen for $2.U15,O0V
lust year, and In trading, five for $tl!M).
000. against ten for $1,672,077 in 1W7.
Hesitation In extending UHunlecredlts
soon after war began nutuially affect
ed weak more than strong concerns,
but It soon gave place to steady and
increasing confidence.
Wheat dropped 74 cents from the
highest point after the May deal cul
minated and has since been weaker
for July because of accounts promis
ing an enormous yield. Those who
were nearest the truth last year now
predict about 700,000,000 bushels for
1S98, and all accounts make acreage
much larger and conditions much bet
ter than a year ago. But with $1 15
still paid for No. 2 red In elevator, and
u foreign demand taking 4,294,498
bushels, flour Included, from Atlantic
ports for the week, againat 2,105,787
last year, and 885,439 from Paclfia
ports, againat 74,929 laat year, the de
cline evidently hastens the market
ing of surplus and gives the new crop
a better chance. It Is not less surpris
ing that western receipts for the week
were 4.263,520 bushels, against 2,099,796
last year, although the crop has been
by some supposed almost exhausted,
and corn receipts were also 7,078,491
bushels against 6,118,623 last year. Ex
ports of corn for this week have been
4,881,820 bushels, agalnBt 1,926,664 laat
year and, for the first time in history,
exports of each grain have about
reached 200,000,000 bushels in the same
year.
Ot all the great Induatries the cotton
manufacture only gives some sign ot
shrinkage, cotton having dropped a
sixteenth dirlng the week, after a rise
In goods averaging for the month
about 1 per cent, thus rendering the
marketing of accumulated atocka
somewhat more difficult. Uut print
clotha have advanced, and in most
staple goods the demand is Improving.
Woolen mills are encouraged by a
somewhat larger demand for goods, In
part from government orders, and are
averaging about 1 per cent better
prices for goods than a month ago.
There is not much demand for wool,
which is still held In the main above
the views of manufacturers and prices
have declined an average of half a
cent for the month.
Tho iron and steel manufacture
leads ail others In gain over previous
years, its consumption of pig being
apparently more than a million tons
per month, or 228,000 tons each week,
against 170,780 tons per week In May,
1892, an increase of 83.8 per cent.
Works beyond the Alleghenles are
crowded with business, and while
some eastern concerns are running
part time, mostly bar mills, the gov
ernment demand Is felt most In this
section. Above all others In signifi
cance Is the wholly unprecedented de
mand from agricultural Implement
works, which throw In the shade all
their past orders, while the plate and
rail manufacturers are beating all rec
ords, partly with foreign orders, one
for Canada having been placed at Chi-'
cago for 12,000 tons. Structural work
Is very heavy, the West furnishing a
large share of it, and in sheet bars
and rods for fencing, the orders are
large, Prices of pig have been some
what strengthened by enormous buy
ing orders for bessemer and basic at
Pittsburg and of charcoal at Chicago.
