Silver bullion took another tumble in the markets of the world the other day on the announcement that Russia had completed her plans for her new financial system, under which silver hereafter is to be purchased and used only for subsidiary coin. The latest quotations in New York markets are 55| cents per ounce. This is in marked contrast with the price less than ninety days ago. The market reports show the price of silver per ounce on December 4, 1897, 4 as 60.3 cents, while on February 21 it was 55f, with a downward tendency.

It now turns out that the “patriotic” appeals of Jones, Butler, and Towne, in which they urge the people of the country to rise in behalf of free silver, are really made in the personal interests of these gentlemen and their intimate political associates. It seems from late advices from Washington that they got together and parceled out the political pot-pie before issuing this plaintive appeal for support, actually determining just what men were to be elected to Congress, who as Governors and even members of legislatures, through the combination which they now urge the people to support in the sacred name of free silver.

McKinley times are again the order at the Treasury Department as well as among the factories and workmen of the country. Each week brings additional reports of new industries, and now word comes from Washington that the new revenue law has fulfilled the promise of the farmers, the total receipts for February averaging more than a million dollars a day, and being $17,000 a day in excess of the average expenditures of the Government during the past five years. No February since the incoming of President Cleveland and his free-trade Congress has shown such large customs receipts or such large total of revenue to the Government, and there is every reason to expect that a continuation and amplification of the conditions which produced a surplus of nearly $2,000,000 in February will increase that surplus materially during the present month.

One by one the theories of the free-silverites fall to the ground. They are now compelled to abandon those beautiful tables with which they "proved” to the farmers in 1894 and 1890 that wheat and silver kept apace. Twenty months ago, when Mr. Bryan was nominated and the wheat and silver theory was given a new lease of life, an ounce of silver was worth considerably more than a bushel of wheat, being in the New York markets practically 69 cents per ounce, ivhile wheat was 65 cents per bushel. But what a change! To-day two ounces of silver will scarcely buy one bushel of wheat, the white metal having sullen to within n fraction of 65 oents per ounce, while wheat is far above the dollar mark, the prioe in New York ranging from $1.05 to SI.OB for No. 2 Red Winter, while No. 1 Hard Manitoba and Duluth are quoted ns high as $1.12 and $1.23.

Had Catarrh 36 Years. Josiah Bacon, conductor on the P. W. &B. R. R., says. “I had suffered with catarrh for 36 years and regarded my case as hopeless. One day I saw the testimonial of Geo. H. Hearn in a Brazilian Balm circular. Hearn was the engineer on my train and I knew his case was desperate. I talked with Hearn and his cure gave me hope. I began the use of the Balm at once. There was not much change for the first two months but then I began to improve and in six months, to my inexpressible satisfaction, I was entirely cured.”
