And i ow the carpet manufactu rera have formed a trust with a capital of $10,000,000, and the lit tie cone erns which attempt to do busines in competition with the trust will soon be forced to the wall. Hon. Wm. Jenpings Bryan has submitted the following platform, which in his opinion, all those opposed to the single gold standard can unite upon: First..Thwy are unalterably opposed to gold monometallism. Second.. They demand the immediate restoration of bimetallism at the present ratio by the inde«, pendent action of this country. Third.. They oppose the retirement of the greenbacks. Fourth.. They opp se the issue of I aper money by nation si banks. Fifth.. They oppose the issue of in time of peace. Sixth.. They favor the income tax as a means of raising a part of the revenue necessary to adminisn ter the federal gov. ' nment. Seventh., They favor the abolis tion of trusts. Eighth..

“PLENTY OF MONEY.”

“There is plenty of money in the United States” is th constant cry f the gold clique, and yet members if this clique are anxious for an increase of currency that shall be “safe, elastic and available.” If there is plenty of money, why do the gold-ad ocating Oliver Twists demand more? That they do demand more is proved each day by the editor.als and news articles published in the “sound money" newspapers. This fact is strongly illustrated by he remarks made by the editor of the Bankers’ Magazine, of New York. He says: “In every community there are hundreds of men who 'are begging for leave to toil,’ as Burns so aptly s«i 1, but the avenues of vocation are closed for lack of the proper resources with which to start the wheels of industry. ake it possible to issue cnrreucy at once safe and elastic and available, as above noted, and the prosperity of the whole people will be materially enhanced.

“The issuance of credit currency against well-defined banking cape ital is a possibility even under existing * onditions, and 1 am well assured that the wisdom concentrated in congress will solve the vexed question in the near future ” If there is plenty of money in the United States, how comas it that “in every community there are hundreds of men ‘begging tor leave to toil’?” The editor of the Bankers’ Magazine answer 1 this question by admitting the claim of the bimetallists that there is not money enough in the country to do the business of the country. And yet the Bankers’ Magazine holds that there is “plenty of monev in the United States ” Inconsistency so glaring as t’ is shows how absolutely impossible it is for t’ e advocates rs gold to meet the logic of facts in an endeavor to maintain their position.—Chicago Dispatch.

FARMERS ARE MADE POOR

While the cotton manufacturers of New England are facing hard times in spite of the protective tariff, the farmers of New York are in tne same condition. There is something radically wrong with the economic candi toons of the country when all branches ot industry are suffering. The report of the New York oom* missioner of labor statistics contains a sad story as io the farmers of the Empire Aate In summing up this matter the commissioner says: “The farming industry in our state is in a most deplorable condition, with exceedingly poor prospects for recovery or improvement in| the immediate future. “Hummed up, the correspond ence shows that, as a general rule, no interest has b°en realized on farm investments during the years 1894, 1895 a d 1896; that where there were no mortgages requiring interest payments, a farmer was considered almost miraculously fortunate if his income irom products could be made to pay the cost of production. “Even that degree of success was only attainable by stinted al > lowanoes for household expenses and by starving the soil; and when the farmer was hampered bv a mortgage indebtedness he ran behind and incurred the penalty of foreclosure ” Under a healthy condition of business the Ne v York larmers ought to be prosperous. They have the advantage of an adjacent market, reason'd ly low frcig t (rates,, excellent soil; cheap '.aboisaviug machinery, low wages and the great demands of the largest c ty in the United States to supply ” T hy should the farmers of New York be noor? Why should the non-oroducers of the metropolis be rich? Whyfhould the men wao raise the food'products be unable to piy expenses? Why is it that the value of farm flands has fallen from 50 to 75 per cent? These questions have been answer .d by the royal commission on agriculture of Great Britain. The gold standard has impoverished the farmer; it is impoverishing the manufacturer, and it is beneficial to no one on th face of the globe except the men who deal in money.

Hon Jason B. Brown, a prominent Democrat of this State, died at his home in Seymour, on the night of the 10th. The senate and house the othir day appropriated $50,000,000 with« out a dissenting vote, to be used as the present emergency may require. The New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, says: “lhave it on the highest authority that a triple alliance between Grea A Britai lhe United States and Japa. is pending.” The British commission says the “free coinage of silver at a fix ed ratio has maintained the market value of silver.” What has been don? can be done agai.i, and the iree coinage of silver by the Unit ed States at a atio of 16 to 1 wo’d result in a restoration of value to silver bullion.

The Dingley duty o , wool benefit ted the wool growtrs, about two per rent, of the farming population. The other 98 percent.(of the farmers will pay tribute to the caipet trust—which has just advanced pi ices— along with ths rest of us who are aeitlier wool glows ere nor farmers. With the ‘news of the advance in the price of car. nets comes the announcement that by consolidation the carpet manufacturers can run their plants at less cost, which means that wages will be reduced or the number of workmen decreased. Higher profits for the trusts and lower wages for the laborer—that is Dingley ism

In the house of common , London, Thursday, Mr Duncombe said: “After consultation with my friends, 1 decided that the exact form of the question made it in opportune to put it. It was framed swing to th®-widely held opinion in the house of commons that it is high time the foreign powers should be told in unmistakable terms that any blow struck at either Great Britain or the United States was qually blow at either, 1 was profoundly convinced of this to-day. Many members more than I supposed would do so came to me in order to say they heartily indorsed my question, I am convinced the government would have desired to answer my proposed question affirmatively, and would have uone so had it not involved other considerations besides ex pressing what 1 believe the pres 1 ent government sincerely holds, that in face of foreign complications the interests in the future of Great Britain and the United States are inseperably intertwined i day’s expression and indorsement we will eventuate so soon as we can frame the question in the exact terms which clearly express the feeling of the housefof commons that any trouble threatening tbe United States will be shared by Gre t Britain.” Other members of the house, of commons who were interviewed on the same subject all spoke in a similar strain

BRIGHT’S DISEASE is the most dangerous of all human ailments because its approach is unobservable. Its symptoms are common to other diseases, viz., Severe Headache, Backache, Dizziness, Hleepleuneu, Blurred Vision, Dyspepsia, etc. One* let It get a firm hold on the system and it is difficult to dislodge. It is caused by inability of the kidneys to filter the Urea from the blood. Yet it can be CURED In April, 1896,1 suffered severe verely with LaGrippe followed by Albuminaria. 1 was under the care of emin nt physicians for three m nths, but at the end of that time the albumen was still present. About July I began the use of a famous 1 ithia water, and the A L.umen diminished but wo’d not disappear. In August I began to use Dr. Hobbs Bparagus] Kid ney Pills.

Fill a bottle or common glass " ith urine and let h stand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of Ihe kidneys. Whtn urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowl* edge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder’and every part of the urinery passages. It cor* rects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpl sasant necessity of being compel ed to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you ueed r medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and one dollar.
