Prevention is always better than jcure, even when cure is possible. But so many timespneumonia is not cured that prevention becomes the natural act of that instinct of selfpreservation which is “ the first law of nature ” Pneumonia can be prevented and is often cured by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. - “Some years ago I had a severe cold and was threatened with pneumonia. I could neither eat nor steep, and was in a wretched condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer’s .Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the is put up i? half-size bottles at half price— 50 cents.

IN A STATE OF CHAOS Republicans Mixed Up Over Currency Reform. PASTY TIES ASE BADLY STRAINED. DM tauter Ckudln Tel* » MJm or Simply Repeat One?—Senator Hoar Said to Favor 131 no rtjU Item—Little Prospect or Financial Reform In the Hour*. The feelings of the Republican brethren are becoming strained over question of currency reform, says tber Atlanta Constitution. Senator Chandler callid on the president the qtber day and after a -talk with him came out and announced that while some of the Republicans are anxious to commit the country more thoroughly to the gold standard the president is willing to get rid rf it by means of international bimetallism and for that purpose proposes to lend bis envoys to Europe again Commenting on thw, the Chicago Times-Herald says that Mr. Chandler's statement is a lie—“a mauifest lie. ” Now what does this mean? Does Editor Koblsaat intend to say that Mr. Cbaniler has misrepresented what the president told him. or does bo intend to say that tho statement itself is a lie? The distinction is important. Editor Koblsaat is very close to the president. He is one of the syndicate that saved Mr. McKinley from bankruptcy, and in securing his nomination the Chicago editor was as mighty a man as Hanna. The probability is, therefore, that before denouncing the Chandler statement as “a manifest lie” Koblsaat has had some communication with the

president. Ho evidently kdow.s no is talking about. Most certainly he knows that Mr. McKinley is oppos'd to international bimetallism q^id iu favor of the gold standard, aud his emphatic denunciation of the contrary .statement is no doubt made on the authority of the president himself. At any rate we advise Mr. Chandler to inquire into the matter for himself. But meanwhile ordinary, everyday currency refunu is in as bad a way as Mr. Chandler s international bimetallism, which is dead enough for Mr. Kohlsaat to carve an epitaph ou its tomb. Chaos is a mild term to apply to Republican opinion ou the Subject of currency reform. Mr. Walker, clwiriraaj of the house committee on currency and banking, gave a dinner to the Republican lead-^ ers in congress the other day for the purpose of composing the differences. But the speeches made over the walnuts aud wine only served to bring into bolder relief the antagonisms. Secretary Gage. Senator Lodge and a man uamed Fairchild made speeches urging immediate action. Up to this |>oiut everything was lovely. But Mr. Cannon, chairman of the house committee ou appropriations, art»se ami said that the country .lid not need currency reform aud could not get it if it did. And he went on to say that if reform was really desirable he did not feel like “butting his-head against the wall. ’ But this is not all. Senator Hoar, who w::s present, found an opportunity to slip away before the ‘ pc cebes began, and the fact is recalled that he recently told me (if the representatives present at the dinner that the single gold standard is a great mistake aud that bimetallism is the hope of the country. It is no wonder that he “went out to see a man’’ before he could be culled ou to express his views. Nojv. if this is the condition of affairs when members have full stomachs, what is likely to happen when they are compelled to discuss the matter in a state of comparative emptiness? Mr. Retd, who was present as the trencher aud played a good hand, went so far as to joke on the solemn subject. He said that if six members of the,house could be brought to an exact^ agreement he would see that their measure was put through the house. The trouble is not six members, but enough to make a majority over the Democrats. The house will discuss a bill, but auy measure that can be brought in will find sufficient opposition among the Republicans to defeat it before the bouse. While preparations of this sort are going on we advise Mr. Chandler to revisit the White House and inquire whether he misunderstood Mr. McKinley about international bimetallism.

What IV* Hfcvc to Efidurc. It sometimes m t ms u> if a peed many people believed this nation yxisted for political bloodsuckers, their adherents aud backers. all anxious to squeeze the last drop out of the people. With the trust, combines, food stuffs oomerers, plutocratic syndicates, dishonest pension grabbers, national treasuJV raiders and all manner of spoils schemes a ntinuallv seeking chances for looting Cucle Sam's strong box it is really a wonder that this great republic has Stood it as long as it has. McKinley the Kmbesaler’a Frlesd. Still another bank embezzler receives pardon from President McKinley, this one while serving a seven' year sentence in Missouri for making away with $20,000.of trust funds. We should not dare to say how many criminals of this stamp President McKinley has pardoned, but the number is getting to be a large one. Does he regard such offenses, as too trivial to merit the punishment inflicted by law? He is making public proclamation to this effect about as dearly as he can. Mart Not Think. Treachery, in the lexicon of Republicanism, means baring an opinion counter to the bosses that control the once great Republican party. The rank and file of Republicans no longer pare the Tight to think, but most t&k% the thought* the trusts urovide.

- jPLAN OF THE MONEY TRUST, j - ' I ■rtabltah the Gold Standard and Retire j All Pap«r Except National Bank Notea. ! Mr: Charles S. Faucnild, who was a 1 member of the first Cleveland cabinet j and who has been <>ne of the chief en • ; gineers of the gold party ever since, as j well as an active promoter of the In- 1, dianapo’ia affair, says that the practical effect of the monetary commission’s bill j now before congress will be, first, the establishment of the gold standard, and. | second, jthe retirement of all paper cur- j rency except national hank notes. Thisadmis^iou was drawn from Mr. j Fairchild by .Congressman Coes of Ten- } uessee. It shows the tree inwardness of j the scheme of currency and banking reform which congress is to be asked to indorse. It embodies a revolution of our currency system which the money pow- j er, through the agency jot the Republic- ) an party, will try to put through con- j gross without giving the people an opportunity to ppss upon it, and the proposed banking reform is merely an extension of the present system. Well, the whole thing is a farce so far as practical results are concerned, and febe attempt to push it now is solely for the purpose of compelling Republican congressmen to place themselves behind it. So£ar we arenas anxious as Mr. Fairchild conld possibly be to see the Republican party in this congress go on record as favoring the firmer “establishment of the gold standard and the retirement of all paper enrreney except national bank notes. ” With Mr. McKinley seeking to abolish the gold standard with one hand, as he informs the gullible New $ ampshire senator, and with the other trying to establish it more firmly, the Republican party is hardly in a condition to push forward confidently in the path j marked out by the Gold trust. Meantime frbm now ou the situation will grow more interesting.—Atlanta ! Constitution.

PLANS OF THE GOUD CLIQUE. The Beal Purpose of the Propaganda UradokU; Heine Revealed, s' Gradually and cautiously the gold clique is feeling its way, dropping a hint here and there and watching the effect upou the people. It must be discouraging to the money power to observe the discussion which each overt act creates and the opposition which manifests itself among the people to the advances of th'e golden drosou. With all its caution the gold clique has revealed enough to show its ultimate purposes, which may be summarized as follows:' First.—All payments shall be finally discharge ; in a definite weight of gold Second. —The production of the gold, j the coinage of that metal, its uses as money and iu the arts 'shall ultimately be left iu the hands of the bankers, the government being entirely "out of the banking business," and therefore relieved; of the necessity of making statistical reports. Third.—-Silver money and ail notes based on silver shall be made redeemable in gold. No more silver shall be coined, and silver certificates shall no longer be issued. Fourth.—As the banks may desire to ; inflate or contract the currency more j rapidly than by means of coins, they | shall control the issues of money at their I own pleasure, the government being | debarred from any power iu the matter Fifth.—Furthermore the government, having been forced to abandon all control of the currency, shall be prevented from knowing or publishing the quantity of money in circulation, that information being purely a private matter and the sole property of the banks. How do the people like there propositions? They are the logical conclusions of Secretary Gage’s plan and are very clearly set down in the report of the self appointed monetary commission.— Chicago Dispatch. MR. GAGE’S POSITION. Displays a Tendency to Crawl Back Into the Uole From Which He Lately Came. Mr. Gage also took occasion a short time ago to declare for the retirement of the greenbacks, they being, iu his opinio®, a standing menace to the country through the geld reserva He jabbed ; his pen into the poor greenbacks and twisted it about with considerable em tbusiasmi. Hut a few days ago Air. Bry j an made some remarks about Mr. Gage’s | plan to retire the greenbacks, and now comes Mr. Gage with the statement | that he would net wholly retire the i greenb acks, but merely retire a few of j them. ! He would do this, in the goodness of his hejart, merely for the purpose of j strengthening the government’s credit. While the greenbacks are a menace, iu : his judgment, thegoverimu ut can stand a little! menage if it will oply withdraw i some of the factions opposition to Mr ! I Gage’s carefully devised plan of allowing the banks to exercise the functions of government and issue the money. If Mr. Gage is uot engaged in devis- I mg ways and means to engage himself ! in joint debate, be should at once undertake! the task of preparing an ex- | planatibu of his position. While oppos- j ing hat he favors some hat, and while > demanding the retirement of the green- | backs he favors leaving sopie of them in circulation. Mr. Gage shows an alarming tendency to craw} into the hole from which be recently emerged with such a blare of trumpets.—Omaha World-Herald.

runparlwd American Labor. The boycott of American building and household furniture and cabinet ! makers in Glasgow is something new under the sun. This news was transmitted to the state department by Consul Taylor of Glasgow and cannot denied or disputed away. The ground far the boycott is that the wages of American operatives in the furniture branch are | lower than those paid in Scotland for ; the same kind of work. An illusion of ; loan standing is thus rudely destroyed. »

DEMETRIUS OF TODAY. Of the Same Family as the Ancient Idol Maker. ITPE OP INNATE SELFISHNESS. trust* and Syndicates Are Banded Together to Debauch Legislatures and Coerce the Judiciary—Their Maxim, "By This Craft We Hare Our Wealth.** Demetrius, the maker of images of Diaua, who was willing to throw his country into an uproar to. protect bis own selfish ends, seems to have founded i large family. Men whose actions prove that .they are lineal descendants of the idol maker abound on every baud, and they do not hesitate to protect their own selfish ends by raising outcries against those who boldly stuud®forth as did Gaius and Aristarchus and proclaim the truth. Demetrius saw that in the new teachings of Paul and his companions was a grave danger to his business. That in these new teachings lay the hope of the people and a way of escape from burdensome conditions was a matter of no concern to Demetrius. His sole concern was for the salvation of his own craft. “Sirs,” shonted Demetrius, after calling together the members of his craft, “ye kuow that by this craft wo have our wealth.’’ He said several other things upon this occasion, but the animus of the man was clearly shown by his exclamation, “By this craft we have our wealth!’’ Todav >jye see the modern Demetrius

Standing before the numbers of his own craft and shouting that their wealth is in danger because some men are standing forth * for £he right and proclaiming against the wrongs and abuses that have crept into our social and political systems. Banding together, as did the followers of Demetrius, the trusts and syndicates .and money gamblers are proclaiming against the men who demand that the Jaws be framed with a view to protecting all meu instead of a few men. With a tine show of interest in the welfare of the republic they talk about the .danger that lies in the movement to overthrow them, but in the privacy of their own offices they whisper to each other, “By this craft we hare .our wealth. ’’ With a selfishness supreme in its might they seek the protection of the law in their nefarious schemes, aud to secure that needed protection they debauch legislatures, coerce t}u judiciary aud intimidate the executivva. This they do with a fine show of 'Merest in the welfare pf the jybo!o people, but their resemblance, to the famous idol maker betrays their family descent. No matter what the effect may be upon the future happiness of the uatiua these sell seeking patriots rally round the motto of Demetrius aug} shout, "By this craft we have our wealth!” They know full well that if the people are given their rights they must take their chances with the rest instead ,of being pampered and petted by willing tools whose places in the lawmaking bodies have been bought aud paid for. They know that if right aud justice prevail their occupation will be gone, aud masquerading under the cloak of unselfishness, as did Demetrius of old, they proclaim that these “agitators” would destroy all that makes the uation strong aud powerful, with a tujl knowledge that behind their self honored patriotism is the main thought—"By this craft we have our wealt}i. ” Demetrius stands today as the type of innate selfishness. He stands as tho type of those who are willing to wreck and ruin tlie hopes of the masses if necessary to protect their own selfish purposes Demetrius, as Congressman -Champ Clark well says, was the great-grand - daddy of the whole trust festering, syndicate serving, place buying, bench debauching, tariff taxing crew.—Omaha World*

MONEY IN THE SCHEME. Somethinff More Than Patriotism In the Proposition of the Money Lords. There is ono thing particularly striking about the attitude of the gold clique, and that is the self sacrificing spirit with which it proposes to assume the “burden” of carrying the circulation. The great and good self constituted monetary commission urges that the “burden and expense of maintaining a redeemable paper circulation be placed upon the b;.uk.” How noble and generous of the money power to urge that “burdens and expenses” be placed upon it! - There is nothing quite so patriotic and generous in history ns this pathetic prayer, except perhaps the manner in which J. Pierpont Morgan and his bcudhcldiug backers tried to throttle the government and force a usurious rate of interest when Cleveland was contemplating an issue of bonds. Forced by publicity and the lash of newspaper criticism, Cleveland, tbongh washing to yield to the patriotic saudbaegers olf the money power, offered the bonds, which were subscribed for to three times the amount needed, and Morgan got on his knees begging for a chance to secure some of the issue at a gTeatly reduced interest. Curiously enough the people who remember Wall street patriotism as exhibited during the war, when the life of the uation was at stake, are not prepared to admit that the aelf constituted monetary com mission was moved by patriotism pare and undehled when it suggested putting the “burden and expense” of <%kiug care of the circulation on the banks. Somehow an impression has become prevalent that there is money in the scheme. So wins tbe Wind. In keeping up the infernal policy of “protecting” the trusts we are sowing the wind. It is inevitable that we shall have to reap tbe whirlwind.
