Silver Talking Without Reason.

The absurdity of some of the talk of the free-silver advocates is rather amusing when shown in its true light. For instance, the silver advocates met in' Colorado and publicly announced that “the destruction of the silver industry will devastate the country as if swept by a cyclone reaching from the British posessions to the Mexican border line.” Looking into this very sad condition of affairs the New York World punctures the apprehension in this telling manner: “According to the last census the entire annual metal output of Colorado was only $50,000,000 while its farm products amount to $60,000,000 a year, its cattle product to $34,000,000, its coal product to $55,000,000, and its manufacturing products to $70,000,000.” This illustrates again how absurd many of the idea sare about money. Here we see that the annual gold and silver product of Colorado is less than the coal product, but if -something happen to stop all the coal output in the state nobody wo’d bring devastation and ruin. And yet coal is a thousand fold more essential to the world than gold and silver. The world would do about the same amount of business at the old stand, and the people wo’d cat drink and Ke merry as usual if there were neither gold n6r silver iu existence. — Laporte Argus. Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the b' st remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth remembering, jjesays: “Last summer I bad a very severe attack of flux. I tried almost every known remedy, none giving relief. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recomended to me. I purchased a bottle and received almost immediate relief. I continued to use the medicine and was -entirely cured. I take pleasure in recomending this remedy to any person suffering with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Meyers the Druggist.
