A ftttrriac Appeal. The Hon. Charles A. Town* of Duluth, Minnesota, chairman of the national committee of the silver republican party, has issued the following address to the silver republicans of the country; “The crisis long expected is at h..ud. The policy we denounced when we proclaimed that a conspiracy had been formed to capture the republican party in the interests of the gold standard is nearing its consummation. The Wolcott commission has confessedly failed in its negotiations. That failure, foreseen by those who drafted the cunning financial plank of the St. Louis platform and forced its adoption/ is now used, as from tlie first it has been intended to be used, as the preliminary to the definite establishment of the gold standard in the i'nited States; the retirement of the greenbacks ami all other government notes; the institution of a huge banking system with power to issue and control the paper money of the country. “Silver republicans of the couutrv, the crisis Remands your most euergetic and consecrated efforts. It is yours to hold together iu common fidelity the eo operation of the elements of reform. It is yours especially to persuade, deceived and be-1 trajred republicans that revolt agaiust their betrayers is their highest duty. If the enslavement of the country’s producers is to be averted; if to ourselves and posterity the | blessings of liberty are to be preserved: if the final industrial and social regeneration af the race is to become a reasonable hope, I there must oi>me enlightenment and en-1 franehisemeiu to hundreds of those blinded j by partisan prejudice and iu bondage to party criticism. ’‘You, more readilv than the members of! the other allied great fureea, may open their | eyes to the truth and arouse their patriot M3B to action. Let iu* l>e thankful that at length the battle is to la* fought in the open; that at last we shall be able to chal-j lenge the gold standard and aU its associated wrongs atai abuse* to meet us iu the opeu quorum of common sen>e. the justice and the patriotism of the American p*ople., They cannot remain blind to the clear and liow confessed designs of th se who have trafficked »n theirconfidence. They ewanot continue deaf to the language of reason and the appals of humanity. Cit;re»ship will rise aU>ve partisanship. The rule ol tne js-t ple w ill, i oine tggais; the pee* ie upon whom our institutions rest, for whom they were create«-l and by whom tiiey shall la* preserved; the people in the bt\»ad and only true M-ny ; t he people as believed in, loved and trusted by Jefferson; by Lincoln, by Itryau, and by" all the great souls that have come nearest to the hearts of men, and therefore moot? into harmony with the infinite purposes of God.” The Greatest Discovery Yet. \V. M. liepuie, elitorof the Tiskilwa, Id.. Chief, says: “We won’t keep house witnout Dr. Kings New I>i*k>very for consumption, couglis and colds. Kxjierimenteii with many others, but never got the true discovery until •*■ u»ed Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take r.s place in our home, a* iu it we have a certain ami sure cure for coughs, colds, who* ping cough, etc.” It is idle to ex^ ri-un-nt with other remedies, cun if'they are urged on you a* just as good as l>r. King’s New Discovery, 'i’hey are not as good. Ux-auxe this remedy has a nxx>rd of cures and beside* is guaranteed. It never falls t« -atisfy. Tnal bottles free at J. K. Adams \ Sons drug store.

Plenty *f Money. Th* Wall st ret-l orgaus have again dis(oTtral that t ten is plenty of tu<« •> This )- a periodical dia'uTtty mad* . ' t>aeh tiuse^, a- political iiec«*&sities seem to require it. The harder tunes and the lower prices the louder they proclaim that there w plenty of money. Of eour.-e. there is plenty of motley for those who enjoy special privileges toil fixed incomes, but the constant aj*pmiaUon of the purchasing power of the gold dollar makes money scarcer among those who have to toil for it. The further it goes in purchasing pc>wer iLx fu*thei the laboring man has to go to get it, and the harder tt i? to get. It has only been a short time since these same orga:te of Wall street were talking about the great advance in price* caused bv the mcrease iu the supply of money, but when prices decline they announce t hat the decline is not due to scarcity of money at all, but to over production. One of the effects of over production in this connection is that it produces starvation and cause* honest and industrious people to go in rags. A superabundance of money ought to make money abundant and prices higher; but thus prosperity of which we read is not subject to any heretofore known economic laws. O'er production also seems to produce the opposite effect to those which political economises have taught us it would produce. The long and short of it is that Wall street employs a very accomplished set of liars.—Louisville Thspatch. Flerlda Exenrslen Kates.

Chandler's Letter. , Senator Chandler finds in the remit of the late elections provocatiou for another of his remarkable silver letters. Purporting to represent the views of an ardent bimetallist, Mr. Chaudier has written much in the past rear for American and Euglish periodicals. It can hardly be said that he is speaking for re-election, for he recently declared in private that he would not be a candidate for senator again, but would be out of public life at the end of his term. In his letter Senator Chandler says: “As to the elections, they prove, with reasonable clearness, that if the republican party permanently acquiesces in the existing gold standard aud gives up the struggle for bimetallism, that party will be defeated iu the congressional elections of 1$9S and in the presidential election of 1900. The silver mono metallists will then take possession of all brunches of the national government, and a free eoinrge bill, with silver made the tender, for ail debts, |>ublic and private,! domestic aud foreign, will pass both Houses | of Congress and be signed by President Bryan.” Senator Chandler declares that Lord Salisbury will back down under pressure. The<*enator advises a Pan-American mom* tary conference to declare fur bimetallism, and then a coalition with France and othtr nations friendly to bimetallism. With such a formidable showing of sentiment for a “double standard,'’ Senator Chandler thinks Rnglaud coukl be compelled to make concessions to bimetallism, and save the day for the republicans. The editor of the Petersburg Press should take warning from the above remarks of Senator Chandler, or else read the senator out of the party for daring to refer to Bryan aud the stiver issue being in the ascendency. Jtot Always l udetMood. A fact often overlooked, or not always understood, is that women sulfet as much trorn distressing kidney and bladder trouble* a* the men. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any disires*, disease or ineonvenieuoe manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake; attributes! to female weakness or womb trouble of soiue sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by setting urine aside for ! twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys ami bladder | need doctoring. ’ if you have pain or dull inching in the hack, pass, water too frequently, or, scanty supply, with smarting or burning—these are also convincing proofs of kidney trouble.

Automatic Keveiio* Kaiser. Tii*' McKinley act came into vigor in 1890 under the title “An not to reduce revenue and equalize duties and for other jmrj *0*4*5." i During 4U life it verified its title perfectly as to the redaction of revenue and also ‘‘for other purposes." The McKinley tariff demons!rated that a tariff for protection is not intended for revenue and that one for reve nue is not designed for protection. For during the year 1894, large part of which was covered by the McKinley law, there a deficiency of more than $00,000,000. and at the same time enormous profits had accrued to those manufacturers who had a monopoly of the home market guaranteed to them under the “otlibr purposes” of taxing all for the beuet'u of a few were triumphantly earned out. . But now iu 1897 comes the pingley tariff, “an a* t to provide revenue for the goveru- : meut and to encourage the industries of the United States." And this tariff achieves i an average of 7 per cent higher duties than j the McKinley bill. That by its higher duties was to reduce revenue. This by its higher duties is to raise and increase revenue and besides that to stimulate or encourage the industries of the United States by the spur of taxation! It seems that republican tariffs for protection are automatic and can be set to reduce or raise revenue at will.— Chicago Chronicle. How to Prevent a Cold.

The Dame of Jefferson is dear to every democratic, heart, and the principles of Jefferson are growing in strength among the people every passing day. It was Jefferson who penned the Declaration of American Independence, and those who still believe in American independence have the right to claim the name of Thomas Jefferson. (Applause.) “Issues may arise from time to time, but j Jefferson stated those fundamental princi-! pies which must be applied in the settlement of every question which arises. If yon ask me what are the fundamental principles j which underlie democratic faith, 1 reply that they are found in the declaration to which I have referred, and are couched in these words, ‘All men are equal.’" A Good Memory Often saves money and also good health. | If you are troubled with constipation, indigestion or any form of stomach trouble, remember to take borne a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and health will be restored to you.
