Republican Senators Besrin Opera-
tions for Delay of Extra Tariff
Measures.
IN THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Senator White Chosen by the Steering Com-
mittee—Pensions Granted—Recruits
Sent to Texas.
Washington, Aug. 17.—rSpecial.]—The sen-
nte met to-day and the effort on the part
of the democrats to fiM the vacancy on
the finance committee with Senator White
of Calvfjmia met with a fall-lire, as the
republicans, through Chandler, appealed to
ithe rule which requires resolutions to lie
over one day before action on them. This
made the democrats, and notably Mr. Har-
ris, very sore, but there was nothing to do
but submit. Senator JVIurphy introduced
a resolution, which also went over, de-
claring that as 'Secretary Carlisle had
stated t'hat the abolition of the duty on
sugar would cause a deficit of $43,000,000, on
the basis of last year's .importation of
sugar, it was Inexpedient at this time to
engage In further tariff legislation. It Is
said that, this resolution will be amended
to-morrow so that Carlisle's name will 'be
omitted and the resolution confined to the
inexpediency of further tariff legislation
at this time. It is'believed that this resolu-
tion will 'be uaisse.l when 1t is called u<p,
because alii the republicans will vote <for it
and many, or at .least enough, democrats
*o carry it. If this comes to pass an ad-
journment can be looked for within a few
days after the time allowed 'by law for
the consideration of 'bills iby the chief ex-
ecutive. The memtbers of the house are
quietly and numerous'!y slipping out of
town for home and the republican sen-
ators "boldly state their intention to go
home as soon as the .president acts on the
tariff bi'll. The prospect of any action on
ithe part of the senate on the popgun bills
is gloomy indeed, and the pronounced view
(hi re is that they wfiil be relieved until the
session in December.
United States 'Marshal 'Dick Ware leaves
for home to-night.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS.
Washington, Aug. 17.—The republican sen-
ators decided to hold a caucus after ad-
journment of the senate to-day to con-
sider the question of party action vVith
reference to t'he appointment of a mem?
foer of the tfinance committee and the policy
to be pursued generally with reference to
■the free sugar bill a.nd other supplemental
bills. (Before going into caucus there was
a great deal of discussion as to what course
the republicans should pursue.
Among a number of them was a disposi-
tion to enter the fight and name some other
democrat in place of Mr. White for mem-
bership on the finance committee. It was
understood that Senator Murphy of New
York was to be pushed iby some of the
conser vat'ive s e n at o rs.
Most of t'he free silver republicans ex-
pressed themselves as against interfering
with the democrats in making up the com-
mittee, and also they would not want to
see an anti-silver man selected for the
place, and would no doubt oppose Murphy
for this reason.
The caucus tasted until 3 o'clock, when it
adjourned without having accomplished a
great deal.
Senator AJdrlah brought up the question
of repubMc-an interference with the selec-
tion of a democrat on the .finance commit-
tee when Senator iPettigrew .stated that
there was no need of discussing the question
as there were six republicans who would
■not agree to it,and it .would break up all
party discipline In the senate.
The matter was then dropped. As to 'talk-
ing action on the filling of the vacancy
the general feeling was no party action was
necessary. The resolution of Senator Mur-
phy was discussed, and it was decided that
-t'he republicans would support in a modi-
fled form which would not specify the
•tariff legislation but would state that in
view of the fact that the senate was so
near the end that It is impracticable to
attempt to pass any contested legislation
during t'he remainder of the session and
that it is the duty of congress to adjourn
as soon as possible.
It is probable that, if a vote can be
had upon this resolution, it would secure
enough democratic votes to pass. The re-
publicans claim that any separate tariff
bill to which there is an objection will foe
debated until it its defeated by a lack of
a quorum and that it is useless to maike
any attempt to secure the passage of those
measures now.
Some of the republican senators expressed
the opinion that, In view of the position
taken by Senator Hill on the appointment
to fill the finance committee vacancy, it
would be a proper return for the republi-
can senators to support any resolution 'he
may offer in regard to the appointment,
thinking it probable that he might desire
to substitute the name of some other sen-
ator for that of Mr. White. When Mr.
M..1 was apprised of this action he said
he should not attempt to substitute some
one else because he had no personal ob-
jection to Mr. White. 'Republican senators
express the opinion that the Murphy reso-
lution. amended as they are wiling to ac-
cept it, will pass by a majority of 10 or
Tille resolution probably will be amended
so as to strike out all reference to Secre-
tary Carlisle's letter and to put the reason
for no further legislation on the ground
that none is practicable, instead, as the
original motion has it, t'hat none is de-
sirable. (Prominent conservative democratic
senators were apprised after the caucus of
its action and it is understood that they
acquiesced in the proposed modilications
of the Murphy resolution.
BIM'ETA I>I/i"ST LEAGUE.
Washington. Aug. 17.—The policy to be
•pursued in advancing the principles of bi-
metallism was outlined at to-day's session
of t'he American bimetallic league confer-
ence. Speeches were made by several con-
gressmen and by delegates from various
•states.
Mr. Bland characterized the Silver ques-
tion a«s purely a political one and urged
•rhat the political battles of the future be
1 <ught on the proposition that any change
ot rati, must be put in abeyance until
the full restoration of silver is accom-
plished.
Representative Ooffeen ■of Wyoming re-
ferred to the money question as the over-
shadowing issue before the country and
advocated more money as the only relief
lor general distress and depression. Resto-
ration of iMver to all the rights and
U-rivJeges it had at the mints before de-
monetization by the act of J873, he declared,
was the first step to be taken in all money
reform.
Mr. Bryan of Nebraska also made a short
speech advocating unity of action among
bimetallists.
A decQ,a/rat&on was adopted recounting the
(rep.-il of the s.lver purchase flaws, estab-
lishment of the single gold sta-mfciird, which
Urns been followed by steadily increasing
depression; that sold has steadi'ly 'in-
ter. ased in va'.ue; industries «vre everywhere
paralyzed; 'lalbor 'is unsteady a.nd precari-
ous; (:'j-ine*8 i.* unimproved and debtor®
Jkainicrupt. It is aswert ed that there i>9 no
hope of relief until t'he double 'Standard of
jG to 11'S restored, and t'hat the money ques-
tion Is the 'supreme tissue before the coun-
try. V oters are urged to make thi.s issue
paramount to ail'l other consiiderations in
the e.ect'A>n <>f legiai-atures, congressmen
e;nd pic.-ji'dent. It is recommended Uhat a
(Convention be «held at once at some central
point :n tx>t>h t'he mining and agricultural
'.states to perfect an organization to work
tor Mil's end; that -a commiittee of five be
appointed to carry out the plan.
At the afternoon .session, which closed the
conference, speeches were made by Sen-
ator Jorus on bi«metaKidin in the 'United
States, by General] Warner on the conse-
quences of five 'legislation of 1803, and by
IRepresentaMive** BeOl <and I'^rnee and Gen-

tSULVER U10.V1D ORB.
W'a^him'gOon, 'Aug. ,17.—The ways and j
me:ins comnritU-e voted to-duy to present a |
Jtffh special tariff bill making silver load j
ore free of duty.
The Wilson bill made these ores Uree, but
•tihe senate bill put a duty of three-fourths
of a cent per pound on them. 'At the meet-
ing to-d'ay it'he democrats voted for t'he free
silver lead ore bill and the republicans
against it. The motion to report was car-
ried, and Mr. Tarsney will make the report
on Monday.
During the meeting Mr. Payne prep.] of
New York facetiously asked the chairman
if it would be in -order to move that the
president be requested t'o return tihe original
tariff bill to congress for repairs. The
chairman ruled the motion "out of order.
SENATOR WHITE SELECTED.
Washington, Aug. 17.—1The democratic
steering committee met in Senator Cock-
rell's committee room immediately after
the adjournment of the finance committee.
They were not long in deciding upon Sena-
tor White and Senator Harris was in-
structed to present lii's name to the sen-
ate.
While there was some opposition in the
steering committee to t'he selection of Mr.
White on the part of members who are
opposed to the supplemental tariff bills, a
large majority was favorable to his selec-
tion.
The conservative democrats who oppose
the selection base, their objections largely
upon the time that is taken at which to
make it, and say that it should be allowed
to go over until 'the choice can be made
with deliberation and not to meet a tem-
porary emergency. The other members of
the commPt'tee insist, however, that the
emergency is such that the vacancy must
be tilled now and that in view of the de-
mand of the country for the passage of
these bills and the attitude of tne republi-
can members of the finance committee, it
is essential that immediate action should
be taken. They were not prepared for this
demand on the part of the republicans and
are inclined to complain somewhat of the
threat of the republicans to join with con-
servative democrats to oppose the selec-
tion of a committeeman by a majority of
the democratic party in the senate.
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Washington, Aug. 17.—The senate finance
commiittee met at 10 o'clock to-day to fur-
ther consider t'he free sugar and other sep-
arate tariff bills referred to it yesterday.
The republican members of the committee
said they could not take the responsibility
of reporting -these billls, and if the demo-
crats desired to have them reported they
must do it with their majority; that the
republicans had four members of t'he
finance committee here, and as tihe demo-
crats 'had but the same number the former
did not propose to 'have the democrats'
ifoiw counted as five. The committee imme-
diately adjourned and then a -m-eetling of
the democratic leaders was held in <t<he com-
mittee on appointments to consider the
filing the vacancy on the linance com-
mittee.

AN ADVERSE REPORT.
Washington, Aug. 17.—The senate com-
mittee on the judiciary made an adverse
report of the senate on the nomination of
Hon. James D. Porter to be United States
iudtfe for the Eastern and Middle districts
of Tennessee. It is understood that the
opposition is based on the ground thait Mr.
Porter, while a resident of the s'tate, lives
outside the district over which he was ap-
pointed to preside.

Washington, Aug. 16.—Reports to the
director of the mint show that since July
3 the number of silver dollars coined
amounted to $833,000, of which $410,000 were

SENATE.
Washington, Aug. 17.—At the opening of
the session of the senate to-day a breeze
occurred over the attempt of the demo-
cratic majority to till the vacancy on the
linance committee necessary to act on the
free coal, iron ore. barbed wire and sugar
bills. As soon as the reading of the journal
was completed Mr. Harris Idem.] of Ten-
nessee on behalf of the democratic steering
committee moved that the senator from
California [White] be appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Senator
Vance of North Carolina.
Mr. Chandler 1 rep.] of New Hampshire
lumped to his feet and interposed an ob-
jection.
Mr. Harris made the 'point of order that
his motion was privileged because it looked
to the organization of the senate. A long
and lively debate followed on the point of
order.
Mr. Chandler contested the question with
Mr. Harris. He remarked sarcastically that
it was a little late to begin the organiza-
tion of the senate. The rule, he main-
tained, was plain. He called attention to
the fact that the vacancy on the finance
committee had existed for months and that
it was proposed now to lill it at the very
close of the session.
Mir. Harris declared hotly that it was
with profound astonishment he had heard
an obiection from the other aide. In the
eighteen years he had been a member of
the body, no matter what party was in
power, the majority has named at will the
members of the several committees of the
senate and no voice was ever heard in ob-
jection. The course of Mr. Chandler lie
condemned as the most revolutionary of
revolutionary suggestions, and it was re-
ceived by him with such astonishment that
he confessed he could hardly restrain him-
self.
Mr. Manderson [rep.] of Nebraska re-
marked good-naiburedly that the senator
from Tennessee did not appear to have
restrained himself successfully. His amaze-
ment had only been excelled by his excite-
ment,
Mr. Chandler declared that it came with
ill grace from Mr. Harris to condemn a
request made under the rules of which he
| Mr. Harris] was such a master. He re-
sented Mr. Harris' imputation as uncalled
for and warned him that he would have to
be older than he was now before he could
successfully override the rules he had
helped to frame.
Then Mr. lliii idem.] of New Y'ork got
the floor and plunged immediately into a
onitici'sm of tihe liiotflislation whi-dh tihe Milling
of the vacanoy was designed to expedite.
So far as the bills placing ooal, iron ore
and sugar on tihe fre • lis»t wore concerned,
the had vott-d, he said, for them wihen they
were 'legitimately before 'the senate and
he was not tryiing to esea.pe from ih'is rec-
ord -now. Senator Hi HI aatfa he stood ready
to vote -agojin to place them on the free
'Hist. Many of h'l« democratic associates
'had opposed p^arting these articles on the
free list 'When the tainLff w'jl wws before the
•senate because tthcy had been bound by a
cauous agreement, but if Chat agr^rament
was now rent mi twaJiin he bad eert-aiin
amendments to utf'fer. He minted the in-
come tax provision repealed. If the (finance
committee 'hud J>een governed by lOberty of
judgment and conscience befoue lit would
IInave reported adversely on 'the incline tax.
and now there was an attempt to pack
the comm'ittee to secure an adverse report
on fills amendment. Heretofore In Hoiing
vacancies the steering icominni'ttee first con-
sult. I in caucus with their demooraUc col-
leagues. Why was a different course to lie
pursued now? lie suggested that the reso-
lution go over unti'l tihe democrats consult
on the subject. There h i I been a, series of
blunders throughout the tariff controversy*.
•When Mr. \V.ison ihuul delivered a ring.ug
speech for free sugar the democratic sen-
timent of the country 'hud accepted it as
.ex ■cathedra., (had recognized in hlis voice
the vtolce of tihe -adniiini-stnation, "Demo-
cratic conventions," said Mr. Hill, "ai'l over
the country are ad'ciptiimg reso-utionis in
favor of free sugar and upon the heels of
an almost unanimous vote of the democrats
of the 'house cwime the letter of the secre-
tary of the treasury saying that the plac-
ing of sugar on tihe free fl'list would 'be sui-
cidal. If nt was necessary to have 'the duty
on sugar retained there ought to have been
consultation before an attempt was made
to place it on the free Cist." In the spirit
of harmony he would suggest a conference
and that 'this matter be allowed to go over
so tihat a democratic conference mlig'ht be
•held to determine what was the best to
do.
Mr. Harris then put his motion in the
form Of a resolution and asked that it be
allowed to go over.
•Mr. Quay objected to its introduction un-
til! after morning business -was deposed
of.
Mr. Harris' resolution finally went over
under the rules.
Mr. Murphy fdem.l of New York pre-
sented a resolution whi'^h, being objected
to, also went (Tver, declaring that in vi*«w
of Secretary Carlisle's letter it is the sense
of the senate that no further tariff legis-
lation .Should be attempted at this ses-
sion.
The resolution of Mr. Gray [dem.] of Del-
aware directing the finance committee to
report without delay the house free sugar
bill so amended as to provide for a revenue
duty on all sugar without any differential
duty on refined ©ugar. was iiaiid on the
table and the senate adjourned.

New York, Aug. 17,-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trafle, which Issues to-
morrow, will say: The new tariff, i'f
signed by the president as expected, pro-
vides a definite 'basis for business. No
supplemental legislation o t'houg'ht possi-
ble until next year, at least. Large im-
provements have been expected from any
settlement, the more because of the vast
amount ot business deferred from week to
week in the hope of more definite condi-
tions. The rush of such business or even
a part of it might easily double transac-
tions for a time. It ought not to be over-
looked that the effect of nuw duties upon
many branches oif the industries and trade
is problematical and) may be determined
only aifter some months of experience,
while 'the serious Injury to corn
some other conditions exercise
ing influence.
It is too early to look for effects of the
netw situation (n the great Industries, -but
the gradual recovery who'll has appeared
for some time is seen in a better de-
mand for products. Speculation in wool
has been stopped, and sales, which have
been 6,929,750 pounds if or the week and 14,-
554,150 for the two weeks of August,
against 3,397,400 last year and 10,385,300 In
1892, naturally diminished on Wednesday
and Thursday, as it is expected the re-
cent advance may be lost, though no
change yet appears.
Resumption by iron and- steel -works
which were stopped toy the strikes contin-
ues to depress prices of some finished
products, but with more furnaces operat-
ing, prices of pig iron are not lower. Com-
parisons given to-day shew a fall In prices
ranging from 20 to 44 per cent In iron and
its products since October, 1890, which suf-
ficiently accounts for the idleness of more
than a third of the iworks.
Speculation in corn his been active, the
price falling 4 cents, rising 314 cents and
falling 2 cents with varying reports of in-
jury, which in some of the states Is un-
doubtedly severe. While western receipts
in the two weeks have been only 2,246,578
bushels against 4,378,103 last year, the high
price explains exports of onf.y 141,685 bush-
els against 3,301,908 in the same weeks last
year.
Pork has advanced 60 cents and lard 35
cents per 100 pounds, with justification in
the Injury to oorn.
Wheat is about 1 cent lower, western re-
ceipts being very heavy for two weeks,
10,680,118 bushels against 5,910,581 last'year,
and It is ctalmed that .Minnesota and the
two Dakotas will yield 125,000,000, the sec-
ond largest yield' in their history.
Liabilities of firms failing in the week
ending August 9 are a little larger than of
late, $5,244,689, of which $1,801,491 were of
manufacturing and $1,608,109 of trading con-
cerns. Full returns for July show an ag-
gregate 0'f $11,291,305. The failures this week
have been 226 in the United States against
155 last year and 45 in Canada against 27
last year.
BRADSTBEET'S COMMERCIAL.
New York, Aug. 17.—Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: Special telegraphic and mall
advlcee, summarizing Interviews with more
than 500 leading wholesale dealers and man-
ufacturers at forty-seven cities throughout
the country an to the present effect, If any,
of the prospective 'tariff settlement and
the outlook as to the effect of the senate
tariff bill should It become a law, indicate
relatively less enthusiasm at larger east-
ern centers, except ait New Vork and Bal-
timore, almost uniform satisfaction
throughout the southern states, and similar
advices from the central and 'northwestern
states, except where serious crop damage
has taken place. In 'the far west little in-
terest is manifested In 'tariff agitation,
notably ait Denver and Helena, where sil-
ver attracts moiv attention. Portland fears
the result of the reduction of the tariff on
lumber, but at Sun Francisco an improve-
ment In demand !d expected and consider-
able freight Is offering for shipment to
China.
A feature Is found in declarations from
manufacturers of woolen good3, glassware,
pottery and iron and steel at various cen-
ters of production that wages will promptly
be reduced.
Impo.rteT» of woolens are said to have
the market this fall, and clothing manu-
facturers, It Is declared, should do a Pair
business, but will not try to carry over
light weights on January 1.
CoLton merchants declare that the settle-
ment of t'he tariff comes too late to help
them tills fall, and lumber dealers speak
'regretfully of tiho reduction of the duty In
t'heir line.
Aside from the probable improvement due
to ending the uncertainty in business nei-
ther Boston, Providence, Buffalo, Phila-
delphia, Pittsburg, Newark or Rochester
merchainits Interviewed express 'noteworthy
enthusiasm as 'to trade prospects.
While no gain is reported in trade cir-
cles at southern cities, several thousand
coal 'strikers have gone back to work In
the Birmingham district, several railways
are calling for more coal and southern iron
works are shipping more iron than a year
■ago.
It Us reported at Atlanta that hardware
Jobbers based recent prices' on Ihe Wilson
bill, and the protective passage of the
senate bill will make a difference In profits
in consequence.
Little Rock expects eastern cotton manu-
facturers to buy more freely now, and
three leading Texas cities, in view of ex-
cellent crop prospects in that state and
prospectively the largest cotton erop 0.11
record, regard the business outlook very
lavorably.
T'he proposed change in the sugar sched-
ule exerts material depression in Louisiana
The region west of Pennsylvania and
i-'l-'t of the Mljwlwsippj river reports almost
uniformly favorable trade conditions, will*
gains In demand and industrial activity,
exceptions being the Indiana and Illinois
pottery industries and among Indiana
clothing manufacturers, who report they
expect to reduce wages. Country mer-
chants in the two states named have been
buying heavily from Chicago Jobbers, but
that city's trade from regions west of the
Mississippi river has fallen off.
St. Louis continues the exceptionally fa-
vorable report of previous weeks, with the
additional feature that the demand for
iron is increasing.
The important cities In Wisconsin and
Miininc'sota report an Improved outlook for
trade and an Increase in the volume of
business done, due to more favorable crop
returns. Increased demand is noticed for
groceries, 'hardware, cutlery and shoes.
The serious damage 'to corn in Kansas
has had an unfavorable effect at Kansas
City, crop damage in that state as well as
In Nebraska and Iowa overshadowing other
conditions and characterizing trade reports
from Lincoln, Omaha and Hastings,
Exports of wheat fflour included], Unit-
ed States and Canada, both coasts,
amounted to 2,1179,925 bushels, agalnist 3,117,-
200 last week, 2,977,477 one week before and
as compared with 6,129,700 in the week a
year ago, 3,750,174 two years ago, 5,561,187
three years ago and 3,489,000 four years ago.
Canadian trade shows no gain in distri-
bution but a more cheerful feeling at Mon-
treal. The impression is that the tide has
turned. The St. Lawrence transportation
companies are doing little as compared
with a year ago. The better feeling at
Toronto is said to be based on expected
favorable effect's from tariff changes in
this country.
BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL.
New York, Aug. 17.—Bradstreet's finan-
cial review to-morrow will say: The pass-
age of the tariff bill has given a decidedly
strong tone to t'he speculative stock mar-
ket. The bearish influences aroused by the
crop situation at the west have continued
to exercise a certain influence but their at-
tacks upon the stock of certain of the corn
carrying roads have continued. The im-
pression produced was plight and th« shor
Initoreut thus created has shown decide*
routine-:-* to cover. London Is a buyer In
our market on a railur extensive scale.
II would seem, however, that American
stocks tin re have been confined mainly to
pl-nfewslunul Interests and that the public
lias been slow to come uis a buyer of either
securities on a large scale.
The same ri<mark refcry In n certain de-
gree to the demand for stocks. Ail in-
crease on outside participation is of course
very evident, but it would serin that the
improvement in the prices which has been
secured this week Is largely due to the
efforts of certain London operators and
their followers, and is based upon 'the idea
that the improvement in general business
will not only have a favorable effect upon
railroad earnings, but will gradually arouse
the speculative Instincts uf the public.
It is worthy of remark t'hat the demand
for bond's has assumed large proportions
and the timidity of capital, which existed
during Ihe progress of the tariff struggle
and was responsible for the large accumu-
lation of idle funds in the banks, has given
place to a desire to find Immediate employ-
ment for such funds.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
An Attempt to Hold U,p the I. & G. N.
Train From San Antonio.
Palestine, Tex., Aug. 17.—There was an
undoubted attempt to rob -the International
and Great Northern passenger train No. 2
ait a spur between Wetmore and Davenport
last night. The connecting rod of the
switch had been broken off and the rails
of the main track moved in position with
the spur and rock battered up against the
rails so as to keep them In position. The
train left San Antonio at 8.15 p. m. and
was running at a lively rate of speed when
the spur was reached. The engine and
most of the train ran in 011 the spur. The
engineer applied t'he air and stopped the
train. The sudden stop alarmed 'the -crow,
who rushed out on the steps of the coaches
on both sides of the train and it is sup-
posed that -the robbers became frightened
and ran away. The intention was evidently
not 'to wreck t'he train, as the precaution
had been used to place the rock up against
the rails to keep them from sliding.

TIOWET WAIR OLOUD.
'Ohlctiig'o, 111., Aug. 17.—T'he harvest ex-
cursions over which the Western paisssnger
'association has bcem torn up for the past
two weeks have finally been arranged and
will be run on September ill and 12 and Oc-
tober 30. The rates for these excursions
will be one fare, plus $2, for t'he round trip.
to addition t'o the lines .of the Western
passenger association tihe Union Pacific,
M'lssourl, Kansas and Texas, Kansas City,
■Fiort Scott andi Great iNortlbern and North-
ern Pacific 'have all agreed to run excur-
sions -at the same time and rate as arranged
for by -t'he association lines. The Denver
and Rio Gramde, which held out against the
excursions, has mot withdrawn its objec-
tions, but will not actively oppose tMlr
'being run.
The looail markets have been flooded with
tllckets issued by the Texas Pacific and
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, reading from
points In Texas -and Kancua to St. Paul,
via 'Ohll-cag'o. They -are iron-clad signature
ittek'eit'S, and when sold at dhort line rates
-they allow ft big aoalp on tihe rate between
intermediate point's. They are proving a
harvest for t'he scalpers and are causing
much trouble to the 'Chicago lines. The at-
itsnt'loin of lines accused1 of Issuing the tick-
ets 'has been called to the mat tier, and if
#Ne tickets aire n'oit taken off the m-aricet in
a, very short 'Mime and >a good explanation
offered as to how they ware placed on 'the

ELECTRO POISE.
(TRADEMARK.)
"For the benefit of suffering 'humanity I
make this statement as to what the E^ec-
tro.poise has done for me, my family and
some of my near neighbors. I have had
an Electroipoi.se ifor four years, and prior
to getting it 1 always paid from $25 to $50
a year doctor's bills every year. Since t
have had the Electropoise my entire ex-
pense for doctons has been $15, and if T
had known as much about the Electropoise
then as I do now I would not ihave had
to spend that $15. I have cured chills,
slow fevers, rheuimatisim, diabetes, tooth-
ache, and white swfT'.inig. The cawe or
white swelling was that of one of my
neighbor's 'boys who was 9 years old. When
I cjmmenced to treat him he could not
stand on his feet; he began to Improve
from the first and is now well. If anyone
desires to know more about this case they
can write to Mrs. Fannie Lewie, E'ppes'
Station, Ala. Yours, etc.,

"June 18, 1894."
A letter this morning from a lady says:
"I can not see how anyone who has ever
used an Electropoise could be willing to
give it up. I'm afraid I'd stint the fam-
ily on bread awhile rather than not have
it. I do pity these people just around .me
who let themselves suffer first from dis-
ease, then from medicine, when they could
use a "Poise" and will not on account of
prejudice. The little baby on next lot
screams with co'lic, and the whio.le ifamidy
In a fuss to quiet it, when ten minutes' use
of the Electropoise would cure it."
Instruments rented to responsible per-
sons.
