Why is it every Barsaparilla which tries to sell itself, ranges itself against Ayer's as the standard Why is it that .all have to •ffer extra inducements—bigger bottles, fancy wrappers, cheaper arice—anything, everything, but one inducement of quality

Sarsapariiia

has never beea equaled by any cheap imitation of it, and quality tells, just as blood telte.

It Is tic Standard.

"I have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla for more than twenty-five years, and have never heard anything bat words of praise from my customers not a single cemplaint has ever reached me. A preparation must possess great merit to maintain such a reputation. 'I believe your sarsaparilla to be the best blood purifier that has ever been introduced to the general public^ I often hear other manufacturers say that this is "as good as Ayer's," but no one ever yet heard it said that Ayer's was as good as any other kind. They always set Ayer's up as the standard of excellence."—S. F. BOYCE, Duluth, Minn.

Hog Cholera,

Another Montgomery county stock man heard from. This is to certify that I had two yearling colts that were badly afflicted wi worms, and in poor condition and not doing any good. I purchased a three pound package of Gilkey's Phosphate Food and gave it to them as directed. It cured them of worms and they are now doing well. I also ted it to a fine bull that I thought was troubled with warbles in the back but found that he was afflicted with worms. It cured him and he is now in fine condition. 1 would not be without the food at any price,

MORE ACTIVITY IN TRUSTS.

Mr. J. P. JIor|«D In Having: Fntt In Lon. don, and We Must Pay For It. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Sr., will now doubtless continue with redoubled Beal his groat movement, to form into trust organization everything worth such formation in the American mercantile and manufacturing worlds.

This is becaune Mr. Morgan, S*., ii already enabled to see the great social advantages appertaining to the rank of the trust king of his native land. Late cable news brings to him the glad intelligence that at Queen Victoria's first drawing room for the season of 1898, Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., was duly presented to her majesty with especial distinction, the only other American woman thus honored at that time being Miss Muriel White, daughter of our very Gwagger and efficient charge d'affaires of the Loudon legation, Mr. Henry White.

This presentation will, of course, mark the entrance of young Mrs. Pierpont Morgan into English society, and, as her husband has just established a residence in London as the representative of the English branch of his father's bank, the wife's social career may be expected to prove exceptionally brilliant. It is money that talks in London society and in such a cause Pierpont, Jr., has money to burn.

But it is Pierpont, Sr., who muBt make that money therefore, it is timely tclook for renewed activity in trust formations. It may even be that each successive triumph of young Mrs. Morgan in London will be marked by the organization of a new trust in this country. Whereat we all have a right to cheer and huzza lustily, for under the operations of the trust system are we not putting up the money for the Morgans' fun?—St. Louis Republic.

BYNUM SAT UPON.

The New York Sun Takes a Shy at the Gold Missionary. Mr. Byuuui, formerly a Democratic congressman from Indiana and once so ardent a silver man tbat his appearance on the stage in Denver was voluptuously and vociferously celebrated by Lafe Pence and other strong advocates of advanced bimetallism, but now a'sort of "one night stand" missionary for the goldbugs, has been sat on by that subservient gold organ'the New York Sun. This is the very extremity of woe. Mr. Bynum was saying that something must be done for the agriculturists, and of course he thought the best way to reliev3 them was to put more power in the hands of the bankers. Said he, "A single power of issue can never be made responsive in districts remote from the financial centers." "The present financial system of the

United States," says The Sun, "is that there i6 a lot of money of substantially one sort which finds and follows its owners without prejudice. Mr. Bynum would have a new redistribution by making new money, which, to achieve his purpose, would have to be so bad that it couldn't leave the region of its birth." Very well. The Sun, even since its perversion, cannot restrain the occasional expression of one of the sound sentiments which used to characterize it.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

A YEAR OF M'KINLEY.

Been

Hla Administration Thus Far Has Mediocre and Unsatisfying. One year ago today Mr. McKinley was inaugurated as president. He was elected by Democratic votes in Democratic states as a supposed choice of the lesser evil.

With every desire to be fair and recognizing freely Mr. McKinley's amiable and admirable personal qualities—with the full purpose furthermore of sustaining him to the uttermost in everything that he may do to protect the nation's honor and fulfill its obligations in the Spanish-Cuban matter—it must be admitted that bis administration thus far has been mediocre and unsatisfying.

His cabinet, to start with, is distinguished about equally for its lack of experienced statesmen and its ample representation of money. With the exception of John Sherman, who is practically superseded as secretary ol state by a country lawyer from Canton, O., thrre is no member who measures up to the original standard of a cabinet officer. It is the most commercial administration the country has ever known. It is per haps inevitable that under such guid ance the government should seem to be reduced to a matter of "finanoing," and that the indemnity for blowing up a battleship should be estimated at a "round sum" in cash.—New York World.

Anarchy In the Hoosier State. A Michigan judge has actually held that in a contract between a great railway corporation and the state doubtful points should he construed iu favor of the latter. This is not only "fiat big amy,'' but rank anarchy. Of course this preposterous doctrine did not emanate from a federal judge. When a United States court gets a chance at this astonishing judicial deliverance, it may be depended npon to make short work of it.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Trusts and Green Cheese.

Before the American Paper aud Pulp association a paper was read on ''Combination of Capital In Relation to National Prosperity," in which it was learnedly pointed out tbat trusts are not nearly half so bad as they are painted. We suggest that the same writer prepare a paper on "Scientific Research as Throwing Light on Green Cheese as a Component Part of the Moon. "—New York Herald.

Flannaffao Gets a Job.

The pressure of other business has not prevented Mr. McKinley from answering tho historical question of Wbat-are-we-bere-for Fla«nagan of Texas. The president has nominated him for collector of internal revenue in a Texas distriot. '.

RATIO OF THE METALS.

to

Transaction—An Absurd Idea.

I

Would Mean Needless Loss.

BULLION PEI0E OUTS NO FIGU2E.

Weakness of the Scheme to Change the Exchange Value of Oold and Silver Exposed Dishonesty of the Proposed

In his recent artiole to the Now York Journal, Mr. Bryan sets out with his usual clearness and force the principle reason why the ratio of 1(1 to 1 should be adhered to. In view of the fact that the great bnlk of the silver coin in the world, some $4,000,000,000, is struck at ratios from 14 to 16, the most of it at 15% and 16, there can be no doubt that 16 to 1 is the logical ratio for us to adopt. It places the value of silver sufficiently low to prevent the melting down and recoining at our mint of any considerable amount of foreign coin and at the same time it is near enough to the standard European ratio of 15 to preserve substantial harusony.

There is, as he intimates, a great question of equity involved in the maintenance of this ratio which existed from 1834 to 1873, and it exists now. To first demonetize the metal, destroy a large part of the demand for it, thus lowering its value compared with gold, aud then remonetize it at a lower valuation, is a dishonest transaction on its face. The market price of silver bullion cuts very little figure in the question, because tho bullion on the market constitutes but a small fraction of the total stock. Whether that bullion be rated at 57 oents an ounce or $1.20 makes no practical difference. It is simply a question of whether we can absorb and use the surplus—the quantity left after the wants of other nations have been supplied. If we can do this, every uther nation and individual wanting silver must pay as much for it as it is worth at our mint and thus help sustain our ratio.

Uhe idea that we must take all the silver in the world is absurd. Every nation uses large quantities of silver and will continue to do so. The only difference is that now there is not a sufficient coinage demand to take the surplus at the ratio of 15£ or 16. Consequently there is a steady scramble on the part of the owners to sell.

As silver is an imperishable commodity which can be and is carried ever indefinitely, the tendency of even a small surplus is to force the prico lower and lower. While, as before stated, with our mint open and 75,000,006 of American people putting forth an unceasing and increasing demand for it, there is scarcely a doubt tbat the market price would follow crur coinage ratio.

It is sometimes asked why did not our ratio control the market prior to 1878? The answer is that there were then other important nations, with France in the lead, ooining the silver at a higher value than we gave it. But those mints being now closed, that disturbing influence is removed and our ratio would in all probability control the market. It is also said that the opening of our mint at 16 to 1 would keep France and other countries from opening theirs at 16^. That is not a serious objection. If those countries really want to resume coinage an agreement upon the ratio would be an easy matter. We would change to 15%, aud the difference would more than pay for the recoinage of the entire mass of our silver dollars, or the countries which formerly coined at could resume at 16, gradually replacing the old coin with new. The former would be better and more profitable action. H. F. BARTIME.

TAX INJUSTICE.

Protection Levies Tazeit on the Poor For the Benefit of the Wealthy. In an eloquent peroration on the "Obligations of Wealth" ex-President Harrison arraigned wealthy oitizens who evade tax burdens as men who strike a deadly blow at free government.

Paraphrasing Lincoln's remark that this country could not exist half slave and half free, he declared that this country could not exist half taxed and half free.

But, having arraigned tax dodging as an assault on free government, and, therefore, a crime, Mr. Harrison has no better remedy to offer than an appeal to the patriotism of those who are guilty of it.

This is not a promising remedy. It is not to be expected that men whom neither honesty nor patriotism restrains from lying about and concealing their possessions to cheat the state, will rush to the taxgatberer to do penance at the call of a political evangelist.

When thinves repent and bring back their pluuder, taxdodgers may be expected to render just accounts of their wealth.

If the ex-president had no remedy to offer for this great evil, he might at least have insisted that the government keep out of the crime of levying discriminating burdens. If wealth will not submit to just taxation, the government should at least refrain from laws which levy taxes on the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. General Harrison ought to have smashed robber protection.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Enemy of Labor.

Tbe Democratic party is always the friend of the workinginan, while the bond between the Republican party and the trustB and corporations makes it tlieir natural enemy. Wherever the latter has had the courage of its conviotions it has legislated in favor of the wealthy and tried to crush labor.
