Not worth paving attention to, you say. Perhaps you have had it for weeks.
It's annoying because you have a constant desire to cough. It annoys you also because you remember that weak lungs is a family failing.
At first it is a slight cough. At last it is a hemorrhage. At first it is easy to cure. At last, extremely difficult.
Auer's Cherry
quickly conquers your little hacking cough. There is nq doubt about the cure now. Doubt comes from neglect.
For over half a century Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has been curing colds and coughs and preventing consumption. It cures Consumption also if taken in time.

The [.adders.
The city lias paid about §1,350 fulsome fire ladders. How long will it bo before it 13 learned that we paid 33 per cent, higher for them than should havo been paid? Not lonj probably its we always do after tho trade has been completed. No elTort WHS made, WE understand. to learn the prices of such goods in the eastern markets, but a Chicago house secured the contract.
A New Fire Truck.
The city council this week purchased a new lire fire truck of a Chicago firm at an outlay of 81,350. The machine is of modern design and is in general use in all
tthe
large cities. It has a fifty-foot
extension ladder, wire and roof cutters, and all the latest appliances for fighting fires.
Early in the Season.
If we have a street fair here next season it should by all means be earlier in the season than this one has been. It is too cold, even if no rain should fall, to be held as late as this one has been. If hekl about the tune in September our county fair is held it would be much better.
Big Pumpkins.
A pumpkin weighing 106 pounds, another weighing 100 ai.d another ninetytwo pounds, were among those exhibited at tho street fair and seen in Joe Taylor's collection. They were the largest ever seea.here at auy display of vegetables.
Hurt in Indianapolis.
Howard Cox, a member of Co. M, was hurt on the streets in Indianapolis Monday night by being hit on the head with a brick. The midsle struck him in tho forehead cutting ail ugly gash, and rendering him insensible. He is now home on a furlough to cover.
W. F. M. S. Convention.v The sixteenth annual convention of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the M. E. church will be held in this city today and tomorrow. There are about one hundred visitors and delegates in attendance.
A Big Ear.
One of the ears of corn on exhibition at Crabbs & Reynolds was 14 inches in length and larger corn generally has never been seen here previously.
In Indianapolis.
President McKinley was in Indianapolis yesterday (or a few hours on his way from Chicago to Washington Cify.
CURRENCY
RtFona
In mv lust communication I undertook to show just what the. Republican platform means by "comprehensive and enlightened monetary legislation." This legislation is not mat ter for the Republic,an leaders to settle in tho future. Even if it were not fully determined on, the people onghfc to be taken into their confidence more than this vague, smooth sounding platform declaration does. But they have fully decyled on this "currency reform" and it is embodied in house bill No. 10,289. This is the bill which was favorably reported by the house committee at the last session, and in this letter I want to briefly disousa that feature of the measure that makes our coined silver dollars redeemable in gold. (See Sec. 6, II. R. No. 10,289.) As the law stands tod?iy, there is no provision for free or even limited coinage of silver dollars (except the provision in the Bond bill for ooiniug the seignorage. which has been absolutely ignored by tho treasury officials), but there is an amouut of silver coined already that is full legal tender standard money.
There is no statute that permits their redemption in gold aud there has been no policy adopted or attempt made by the treasury officials to redeem them in gold. They have tho equal exohange or money value of gold, simply because they pay as much debts and taxes in this country. In any event, the $435,000,000 of coined silver dollars enlarge the volume of our standard money that much and in a certain way have the effect of that much gold coined. But if the law is to be changed so that this silver is legally redeemable in gold, at least two vioioua results follow: 1. The volume of standard money is contracted, for instead of being part of our standard, legal tender money, oar silver dollars will beoome mere currency. Our coined gold will be left the sole standard money it will be the sole money of redemption and the money in wtoich government bonds matt be paid. A large part of this fuuded national debt was created on a paper basis when greenbacks were legal tender and would have paid it. It has been refunded on a coin basis, when under the law and under the terms of thg contract, it could be paid in either gold or silver dollars. Now they propose to make the public debt payable only in gold. This purpose was foreshadowed in the defeat of the Teller resolution in the last house, and iu the declaration of President McKlnley in his speech to the American Mannfuc turers' association, Jan. 27, 189.8, that "no matter what the language of tho contract, the United States would pay its obligations in tho money recognized as the best at the time of payment."
Aud, as this pniposo cannot well be carried out by refunding our debt and issuing gold bonds in the place of coin bonds, it is to be done by making silver mere currency and gold the sole money of payment.
If there ever was danger iu making our public debt payable in gold, that danger has increased in. recent years. Tho injustice and unwisdom of gold payment has jsrowu since McKiuley voted for the Matthews resolution in 1878, whioli declared that our coin bonds could be paid in either gold or silver dollars. The increased demand for gold as staudard money, here and elsewhere in the world, has caused its value to rise aud has correspondingly caused property aud prices to fall. A wise economist would not increase that demaud.
Besides, our debt has grown in the last few years, $400,000,000 (largely due to the attempt to maintain gold redemption), making gold payment not only more difficult but more unjust than ever. Again, if we take away the money function from $425,000,000 of silver, we not only reduce the volume of staudard money that much, but by making this silver redeemable in gold we add that new burden to gold. This is an experiment we need not try. 2. The hypocrisy of tU-a proposition can bo seen on a moment's retieotion. If silver is to be mere currency, redeemable in gold, it amounts to mere promises to pay the gold back of it. It stands just as the redeemable paper dollar does, and if this be true, why not have all paper currency or pap«.r promises to pay gold? It is a sheer waste of good material to use silver to stamp those promises on when we can use paper to print Them on. Why uot dispense with silver? It is because they do not care to alarm the people by such a proposal. Even in the bill tiie plan of gold redemption is veiled in the sentence: "Pay out gold coin in exchange for silver dollars."
They are seeking to do by indirection what they may not propose dire'otly. They are seeking to surreptitiously fasten this legislation on us. H. H. Hanua says his poll of the house shows that all the "sound money" members favor it and yet they come back to'their constituents and talk of "lionest dollars" and "comprehensive monetary legislation." Not one word to say in defense or explanation of a bill to which, if Mr. Hanua speaks the truth, they have committed themselves.
These speakers and papers are silent, but the work is ready for tho next congress if it bo Republican. And Mr.
1
Hanna says, in his open letter of some weeks ago, that they were encouraged to believe that the war would enable them to carry the elections and control the next congress, and then their proposed legislation would become a law. Heaven forbid that under the guise and in the name of patriotism they shall secure our confess for such nef&riQos
purposes. Hbxby Warrum.

BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN
A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter-
Tells all about Her Troubles when Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. "At the age of two months, my baby began to have sores break out on his right cheek. Wo used all the external applications that we could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physician and tried his medicine, and in a week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous looking sore appenred on' baby's arm. It grew worse and worse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hood's Sarsnparilla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, the sores were well and have never returned. He is now four years old, but he has never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since he was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which. I feel very grateful. Kt boy owes his good health and smooth, fair skin to this great medicine." Mhb. S. S. Wroten, Farmington, Delaware.
