If silver «t the time it was demonetized in 1873 was at a premium over gold, for what possible reason was it demonetized? “ If the republican party demonetized silver under those circumstances, how can it possibly be in favor of bimetallism now under any circumstances, and how can it be sincere in saying that it is. since it once opposed and destroyed bimetallism when it existed under the •most favorable conditions? If bimetallism is a good thing now qf will be a good thing in the future under

any circumstances, it certainly must have been a good thing, in 1873 But if it was not a good thing ’then, it is not a good thing now. 1f it was a good thing then, why did they destroy it? I 11 -ou can legislate the value out of silvei why can you not legislate it back ' ■ The gold men also talk of honest and dishorn t money. VY«11 silver, money ,was hon st money previous to is;?, and had, al w. /8 been honest money.' Hit deprecial 1 became the value has been

legislated out of it. then is the dishonesty in the silver or io the congress or in the party that legislated the value out of it? Is this not a case of the thief charging his theft upon his victim? Can the people be gulled in that way? Dandruff ferine when the glands of the skin are weakened, and it neglected, i baldness i> sure to follow. Hall’s Hair Renewer is the best preventive. 11. S. Porter again favors us with a flower from their beautiful frog plant-. Sick stomach means sick man (or woman.) Why not be well? Sick stomach conies from poor food, poor nourishment; means poor health, poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cordial means health and -a well stomach. If we could examine our stomach we would understand why it is that so little will put it out of order. But, unless we an- doctors, we never see our stomach. We only feel it. We would feel it less if we took Shaker Digestive Cordial. Shaker Digesifv e oordiai Tiialms you r stoiuaclTdigest all the nourishing food you eat. relieves all the= symptoms of indigestion, acts as a tonic and soon makes you well and strong again.
