Liver Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine is hoisted over a dwelling it meansdisease and danger. So when the yellow flag flies in the face—when the cheek is sallow and the clear white of the eye is dyed saffron—there is danger. It i.t liver trouble. The liver Ls one of the most important organs of the body. On the proper discharge of its functions depend human health and happiness. When the liver fails of its duty, poisons at once begin to generate, and other organs of the body become involved. Never neglect the liver if you value health. If you are suffering from liver trouble, begin at once the use of Aykr's Pills and you will find prompt relief and permanent cure.

"I tpas so weakened by liver trouble that 1 could scarcely lift my head. While in this condition I began the use of Ayer's Pills, and finding almost immediate benefit, continue£ their use until I was cured o) my complaint."

FARM PRODUCT PRICES!

What Effect Bimetallism Would Have on Them.

THE PRESENT PRICE OF WHEAT.

Due to Failure of Foreign Not to Legislation—Increase In Supply of Standart! Money Invariably. Puts Vp Prices.

The Wand Hollar.

Tho question is asked. Would the restoration of tho bimetallic standard advantageously ruiso tlic price of farm products, and why? The relation of the supply of standard money to general prices may bo proved by tho past. Whenever wo have had pood times and liiph prices, it was accounted for by the law of supply and demand. Notice the present price of wheat. It is not due to high tariff or legislation of any kind, but simply to the failure of the crop in some of our groat wheat countries, India, Russia, etc., causing a supply of wheat smaller than usual in tho markets, which iu turn creates a greater demand for what there is, which raises the prices. It is the same way with standard money. The less money there is in the world to exchange for commodities the less we will get in exchange for our products, and the more of our products we will have to give in return for each unit of money (or dollar), which, in other words, means low prices.

In looking over the statistics of the past you will find rliat whenever there has been an increase in tho supply of standard money there has been an increase of prices. Whenever you find prosperous times aud higher prices, whether it be in tho past, present or future, look for the cause and yon will invariably find that there has been an increase in tho supply of standard money or a decrease in the supply of commodities, all things being equal.

When gold was discovered in California and Australia, it increased prosperity, also when great silver mines were found it increased prosperity. And in later years, in 187s, when the Bland law was passed which added 000,000 of silver to our supply of money each month, there was an immediate rise in prices. Although the Bland dollar was not a legal standard dollar it was recognized as such by the government and individuals as full redemption money, there being

110

gold bunds, notes or

mortgages issued then. It therofore largely tilled the place of standard, and the benefits were quickly felt until 1882, when wealth multiplied faster than the Bland dollar aiTd prices commenced to fall until lStW, when our statesmen tried to restore bimetal fism and free coinage as iu lis73.

The plan was defeated and tho Sherman act adopted, which was better than not anything. This provided for the purchase and coinage of 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, and an in crease in general prosperity was the result, in spite of the excessive production we had at that time. But in 1893 the Sherman act was repealed, and no act has been passed since to maintain or increase our supply of standard money. On the contrary several nations have discarded silver as standard, which has decreased the world's demand for silver and increased tho demand for gold, and in consequence prices have been on tho down grade ever since, reaching the lowest point the early part of this year ever known in the history of the nation. In spite of those stubborn facts the goldite denies the law of supply and demand as relating to money. He claims we had in lKTii only $18.23 per capita, while now we have ?22.95, but silver and gold were both standard in 1873, and we now have only gold, which makes us $8.41 per capita, while our population has increased over 86,000,000. The demand for money on account of increased business being greater, we have more demands

011

each dol

lar, more people to divide the dollar among and fewer standard dollars to answer these demands, so that is why prices are low' and why bimetallism will raise them. H. M.

Awakening: of the Gluut.

How is that not a single paper in the United States that is advocating tha cause of bimetallism finds any time to say a word in favor of an Anglo-Amer-ican compact? The answer is "dead easy. There is not a single newspapor advocating independent bimetallism in the United States that is owned in England, either in whole or in part There is not a single paper advocating the gold standard in the United States that is not also advocating an Anglo-Amer-ican alliance. There is not a single paper now advocating an understanding with England that is not either wholly or in part owned in England. They do not represent the sentiment of the American people. Their present noise, howover, will serve to awaken the Amer: ican people from their slumbers. When they awake, they will sentence the British fortresses, as it were, now established among us and teaching false doctrines.—National Democrat.

Prise List and Lecaoa.

We can evidently give Spain lessons in naval warfare, but the far greater activity of Spain in transoceanic commerce is worthy of our attention. Distant colonial possessions aro not the basis of it. More than half the twenty odd Spanish prize vessels captured off the Florida coast were engaged in commaroe having no relation to Cuba. It is a proud fact for the Spaniard that his flag is seen and known in every part of the world. It might be so of the American save for the absurd restrictions imposed upon his shipping by antiquated laws and by the infamous gold standard.

A Southern View.

In distributing the higher army offices Mr. McKinley doesn't seem to be quite ao particular about getting immunes.— Memphis Commercial-Appeal.,

NOMINATE WISE MEN.

The Democracy Must Select Only It* Best Men For Congressional Candidates. Republicans who are loyal to the doctrine of loot arc lighting the renomination of Governor Pingree in Michigan. Pingree, whatever else may be said of him. is opposed to the Hanna idea of robbing the people and protecting the trusts, therefore the administration Republicans are trying to down Pingree. The result of this fight will bo to give the Democrats an opportunity. There is a lesson iu the Michigan situation which si

1011

Id be studied by the Demo

crats. Theyjfhould learn from it that none but the best men in their party should be nominated lor office. This is especially important in regard to congressional nominations.

A great many Democrats are going to be sent to congress next autumn. Every ono of them should be not only a truo Democrat, but a strong man. No mere political workers should be rewarded with a nomination to congress. No man of one idea, no man of fads, no man who thinks his personal opinion is wiser and better than the doctrine laid down in the Chicago platform, should be placed on a congressional ticket. There is a great battle before the Democracy of the nation—the presidential contest of 1900. The preparations for that battle should include the selection of tho best men in the party as candidates for the house of representatives. No foolish speeches aro wanted in congress. They can do no possible good and may result in incalculable harm, therefore no cranks should bo sent to congress by the Democrats.

MONEY MAKING COWARDS.

An Exhibition of Craven Fear Whieh UringH Discredit on the Nation. That the love of money is the root of all evils is a broad statement, but as it was made by a man of experience and wisdom it may be accepted as embodying the truth. Certainly the love of money has engendered rank cowardice in the hearts of the New England bankers or they would never have made themselves the laughing stock of the whole nation by proposing the transfer of their funds to inland towns as a precaution against predatory raids on the part of Spanish foes. Perhaps these white livered bankers have wives and daughters—they don't deserve to have them—but there lui.s been

110

public

announcement that tho money grabbers are at all worried' over the fate that might befall their families should tho Spaniards descend upon the Atlantic coast

In this instance tho lovo of money 6001)18 to have overtopped tl»o human affections and to have an entire forgetfulness of the sSuruer virtues «f patriotism and courage. Such an exhibition of craven fear is well calculated to in.-pirc Spam with a contempt for the American people anil to bring about the very thing which is apprehended. Of course it is all nonsense that deserves sharp rebuke. Dewey and Sampson aud the army will take care of the reputa tion of this country as a nation of fighters, bit t.io rii'/ardi made such by the love liiuliey, should subside iuto silence.

AViSf Men NVedrd.

In ie iuidst of the war's excitement Denio-.rrat: should not Rse si'zht of the political interests of the country. Of course this suggestion does not mean that the Democratic party is in any way opposed to the strictly war measures of the administration. Democrats art patriots first, last and all the time, but loyalty to party is also a patriotic duty. One of tho most important things for the Democrats to do, undoubtedly the most important thing, is to see to it that only the best men in tho party aro nominated as candidates for congross. There is a prospect that many Democratic representatives will bo chosen at tho next election to occupy seats in the lower house. Every one of these men should be the best man in "his district. Men of clear perceptions, logical judgment and sound democracy should be named. Enthusiasts who have some special hobby should be asked to stand asido in the best interests of the people. Wiso men in congress can make the campaign of 1900 a Democratic victory. Unwise men may cause defeat Therefore a wise selection of wise men is imperative

Von Hoist Most Be Lonesome. Professor Von Hoist of the University of Chicago, who from time to timo has opposed the Monroe doctrine and nearly everything else involving the America principle, now declares that the occupation of the Philippine islands by this government will be a colossal blunder. As Mr. Von Hoist makes a specialty of getting on the wrong side of every national question his opposition to the Philippine question may be accepted as perfectly sound proof that it is a good thing we take back any kick we have ever made against holding the iplimdff. Von Hoist is also a conspicuous advocate of the British gold standard.

The Gerrymander Nuisance.

The supreme court of Illinois has very properly killed the infamous gerrymander enacted at the recent session of the Illinois legislature. The decision goes to the very root of the question and prevents any further attempt at apportionment until after the next census. Every step that is taken toward putting apportionment beyond the reach of continued meddling is beneficial, and if the states would adopt the rational basis of county representation they would be rid of this perpetual nuisance altogether.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

"Cyclone" and "Bloody Bridles." "Cyclone Davis, "Bloody Bridlea" Waite and all the other "patriots" that aidod McKinley in 1890 are mighty silent these days. To hear them in 1896 one would think that they would fight foreign foe at the "drop of hat—National Democrat.
