[cDNTINI’KI'J There are two more objections of the silver friends why they want the silver bill of 1873 repealed. . . The first one is that this bill is offensive to the fanner, because the demonetizing of the silver lowered the price of all products raised by the farmer. The author of this idea should apply for a patent. This assertion is found in “Coin’s I* inancial School,” and if the author of this book was not known, Muenchhausen might hate claimed the. honor of being the author. The : thought that the low prices at pres ent, after 23 years since the passage of the above mentioned bill, should be the cause of that bill, is so absurd, that it does not in reality deserve one thought. If this was the case, the prices would undoubtedly i have fallen as soon as the bill was passed. We might, with the same right, place the going dry of some of the gas and oil wells in Indiana, to the credit of this same bill, and why not place the dry weather we have had in this part of the state to the credit of this bill of 1873? Would it not be just as rational to do so? The prices have fallen, this is true. But the bill of 1873 is not guilty of the crime. Edward Atkinson, a great financier, in speaking j about the falling in prices of farm I and other products, in the “Forum” | of April does not mention the de- i monetising of silver as one of the ; causes. He says the falling in the prices of farm and other products are the. outcome of natural causes. | It is the cheapness in the produc-| tion, transporting and overproduction of goods. Taking wheat, what do we find? We find a great shipment from Utah and Dakota, &c., not thought of a few’ years back, and the throwing of this enormous amount of wheat on the market, 1 lowered the price of wheat, not only | in our country, but in Liverpool, ; the center of the wheat market of ! the world also. Why was this? Because the production exceeded the demand. Not this alone, but millions of bushels of wheat were thrown on the market by Argentina, i a country that less than 10 years i ago were buying from us. And , what is more, Argentina could sell J cheaper than our farmers on account ; of cheaper labor. This is conclusive evidence that prices in farm products would have fallen in price even if the bill 1 of ’73 would not ; have been passed, But it is said' nobody knew anything " about the • passage ot this so-called bill of ’73, ■ English bankers and capitalists came over secretly and worked on ■ our Congress to have this bill be- ■ come a law. This story lias been long ago proven as false. The often mentioned Seybt one of the so called English emissaries was not at Washington, and furthermore, Congress done everything m its power to make the contents of said bill known before its passage. Five years before the passage of the silver bill of ’73 there was a motion before the Senate to use silver only

j as small coin always, but no action I was taken on the bill. In 1870 i Boutwell, then Secretary of ths ; Treasury, called the attention of ■ Congress to the fact that the silver dollar was not in circulation any I more, and recommended that free I coinage of silver be stopped. Boutj well again brought the question of i free coinage before ingress in i 1872 by presenting a bill. This bill and opinions of many experienced men in money matter was printed thirteen different times and was de bated on in 18 72 as may be seen by j the “Congressional Record.” J. Knox, Coin tproller of Currency at I that time, says: “There was never j a bill passed in Congress with which |so much care was taken.” The di* rector ot mints in his report of 1876 claims that no one tried to keep this bill a secret, but everything possible, was done to make people acquainted with said bill. It was not a bill to favor a few, but a bill to benefic.il classes in our country. If this socalled silve” bill of ’73 did not raise a commotion at that time it was because there was no silver in circulation, and this would be the case today, if the owners of the silver mines could get nd of their silver by exporting it, this not being the case, the great cry of the reduction I of the value of silver is raised. — . That the water works are now an assured fact, it becomes necessary for the council to see that tue streets are put in shape for the contractor and that they are not all torn up at the same time. Then when the line is put in, the council, through the street commissioner, should see that the streets are put in good shape. They can’t be made as good aft they were, but they can be put up so they can be traveled on with convenience, instead ot the condition they were left in after the gas line was put in the streets.

DISEASES OF WOMEN Will Be Treated Free By Dr. Hartman During the Summer Months. “Female diseases” is a term which has come, by constant use, to be applied to all of that very distressing class of affections which are peculiar to the female organisip. At least three causes should be recognized. The cause which is perhaps most frequent is displacement of the womb. The second cause is congestion of one or more of the pelvic passages. The third cause is known as inflammation or ulceration. Pe-ru-na should be taken in tablespoonful doses before eacli’meal in all varieties and stages of the disease. This dose should be gradually increased after several week’s use of it to two tablespoonfuls. Vaginal injections should be taken three times each day, two or three quarts at each injection. Any woman wishing to become a regular patient of Dr. Hartman should send name, address, duration of disease and symptoms at once and specific directions for very detail of her treatment will be promptly sent. The doc tor will direct every item of the treatment free of charge. The p <tient can obtain the pecessary medicines at the nearest drug store, and every patient will be expected to report once a month. This gives every women in the United States a chance to receive the benefit of the extensive expedience of this renowned physician in all forms of female diseases Book on fernalKjiiseases sent, free by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Cp. oT Columbus.
