This modern malady has become dreaded not more for its direct fatality than for the weakness of body and mind it leaves behind it. Prolonged debility, permanent prostration, melancholy and suicide follow La Grippe. For this disease there is no remedy superior to Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral “The beet remedy for la grippe that I know of is Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral1* Rev. JOHN K. CHASE, South Hampton, N. H“My wife and five children were taken down with la grippe, while the disease was so widely prevalent. I dosed them with Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and before using quite two bottles my family was restored to health. 1 know of several obstinate cases of the same complaint which were also cured by this remedy.* J. P ARM INTER, Paulette, Miss. “ I was eared of la grippe by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. C. S. THOMPSON, Pub. “ Signal* West Farmington, Q.

An Hoaest Ntar Cleirly Defined. The Arena recently gave a svmpoeiumon j what constitutes an “Honest Dollar.** The article was contributed to by several very able writers. We quote only two. Williaui .Jenmugs Bryan said: We hear much about “stable currency” and an ‘‘honest dollar.” It is a significant fact that those who advocate a single gold standard have for the most part avoided a discussion of the effect of an appreciating standard. They take it for granted that the gold standard is not only an honest standard, tout the only stable standard. I denounce that child of ignorance and • avarice, the gold dollar under a universal gold standard as the most dishonest dollar which we could employ. I suud upon the authority of every intelj ligent writer upon political economy wheu i I assert that there is not and has not been | an honest dollar. An honest dollar is a i dollar absolutely stable in relation to all • other things. Laughlm, in his work on ‘‘Bimetallism,” says: “Monometallism do not—as it js often I said—believe tha? gold remains absolutely j stable in value. They hold that there is no such thing as a ‘standard of value' lor future payments in either gold or silver which re- | mains absolutely invariable.” He even suggests a multiple standard for loug time contracts. 1 quote his words. *‘As regards national debts, it is distinct

tv averred that neither {fold nor silver forms a just measure or deferred {>ayigcnts, and if justice in ionf contrasts is sought for, we should uot seek it by the doubtful and untried expedient of international bimetallism, but by the clear and certain method of multiple standard, a unit based upon tin* setting prices of a number of art teles of general consumption. A long time contract would thereby l»e paid at its maturity by the same purchasing pow.r as was given iu the beginning.** Jevons, one of the most generally accept - ed writers iu favor of a gold standard, admits the instability of a single gold standard and in language very similar to that above quoted suggests the multiple standard a? the most equitable, if practicable Chevalier, who wrote a bock in lis>3 t show the injustice of allowing a debtor to pay his debts iu a cheap gold dollar, ncog:*lied the same fact, and Midi, * “If the value of (he metal declined the creditor would suffer a loss upon the quantity he received; if. on the coutrary, it ruse, the debtor would have to pay more than he calculated upon. I am on sound and scientific ground, therefore, when 1 sav that a dollar approaches honesty as it' purchasing |H>wer approaches siabitity. If I Ia n row a thousand dollars today, and next year pay the debt w. h a thousand dollars which will secure exactly a- much of all things desirable u> the .no thousand w hich l borrowed. 1 have paid in honest dollars. If the money tias increased or decreased in purchasing {>ower J have satisfied my debt with dishonest dollars. While the government can | say that a given weight of gold or silver sfia!! constitute a dollar, and invest that dollar w .;ii i.'gal tender qualities, it cunt: >t fix the purchasing power of the dollar. i h.it must depend up *ii the law of supply and demand, and it may U< well to suggest th. t thi' government never tried to fix the cxgha. geabiy vglue of a d >llar until it bogs ft to .unit the number «»; dollars e**iued. Wjj-ton Baker of the American says: , The true test hf an L.ucat dollar is it' | purchasing power, and thar dollar and only < that dollar, is honest that doe's exact justict i Wtwecu creditor and debtor. The gold j moui-uietallists harp on the' injustice of aj depreciating dollar, but they ignore the! injuries inflicted by an appreciating dollar. ! They tell iis that a depreciating dollar de- j fraud- the creditor, but just as a depreeiat-1 ing -l-.'.tr defrauds the creditor, an! appreciating dollar defrauds the debtor, j and it is rot one whit worse to defraud the ! creditor by obliging him to accept a depre- i elating dollar fruin lit' elebtor than to j defraud the debtor by obliging him to {iav | m a dollar made artificially scarce and dear. 4 An -appreciating dollar w -rls injustice to ' the uebtot just as a decree tat mg d -liar ; w. rks injustice do the creditor, but an appreciating dollar is many fold iU'*rv | injurious t>> trade t<ud industry for while i tlie depreciating dollar taxes the creditor for the benefit of the debtor, the appreeiat- J mg dollar fak* s !rum the debtor, front1 produvi rs in general taut from industrial ; class* s. and gives to the creditor classes, the drones of society, a larger and larger share of the products of . »bor. which of necessity discourage' indu-try.

Tbe Discovery of the Day. Aug. J. Bogel. the hading druggist of Shweppert, leunsiana, says: ‘*Dr. King’s New Discovery is. the only thing that cures my tsugb, and it is the U-st seller 1 have.” J. M. Campbell, mvrclt&nt of 5iaff. nl, Arix nia, writes: ”Dr. King's New Discovery is ah that is claimed for it; it never fail*, and is a sure cure for consumption, coughs and edda. 1 cannot say enough for its merits.'* Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds is not an experiment. It has been tried for a quarter of a century, and today stands at the head. D never disappoints. Free .rial bottles at J. K. Adams and ism's drug store.

Sew (HMXinlaK Company. Miniug companies are springing up on every hand lor operation in the Klondike, and the rush for that new Eldorado in the spring will be something remarkable. Among the number will be found many from our own neighborhood. The Evansville Journal on Friday contained the following: Another gold mining company was organized in this city yesterday, which will be known as the Mellen, named after Judge Mellen. The organization took place in the parlors of the Vendome hotel, and resulted in the election of the following officers: B. P. Von Behren, president; Dr. P. G. Kelsay, vice president ; J. J. Nolan, secre- j tary; W. D. Downey of Princeton, treas-1 ure. - The capital stock was placed at $300,000 which is divided into 2,000 shares. Nearly I all of this amount has already been subscribed and is held by local citizens. The new company w ill open a mine in Alaska. They have secured, through i Judge Mellen, who acts as power of attorney for three owners, five quartz mining claims known as the I vauhoe Group,situated in the Berner’s Bay mining district, about 00 miles of Juneau and one and one-quarter mil*s from the coast of the bay. Judge Mellen is a native of Southern Indiana. He filled a judicial position jn Alaska under President Cleveland's admin

miration. lie was a territorial judge. lie is familiar with the entire territory o! Alaska, lie and Hob. Arthur H. Taylor, ex-eohgressinitn from this district, and living at Petersburg, are the leading spirits in the new company. Mr. Taylor is also ; acquainted with the country from his travels out there and his study of it. He is inter- ■ ested in the Jualiu mine and has made a number of trips to Alaska. The new mine is located only about a quarter of a mile from the dunlin and the promoters think they have a much richer mine. The claims, as stated above, are owner! i by three men. They will leeeive $150,000 for the claims from the company. The money is to be paid in installments. Beginning January 1, $23,000 is to be paid every six months until $100,000 is paid, then six months iatir the remainder is to In* paid in a lump, The stockholders live in many of the towns surrounding Evansville. They are all Indsa’nians. A large number, possibly fifty Evansville meu, have subscribed stock. The venture has the right character of men in it, and there is but little doubt of its success.
