Who--Each with his own Pet Schemes
Cultivate the Field of Haman Nature.
There have always been quacks:-legal quacks,
theological quacks scientific quacks, and medical
quacks, Some of them are bland, oily fellows who
argue and smile the world into believing in their
favorite bit of humbug. Others are pompous and
pretentious parasites. Bat they make it pay Men
to love to be swinded stipulating only that it
shall be neatly done.
The dear public equally liberal to tine electric
and magnetic fraud The fellow is a genius in his
line. He viii put a magnetic belt around your
you out with entire suit of magnetic Clothes war
ranted to serve the purpose of ordinary garm ens,
and at the same time to cure all diseases, from
whooping cough to the hassy consumption.
Most of these have no more electric or magnetic
power about them than resides in wooIen blankets or
girdles of sackcloth. Only when applied by an ex-
pert is electricity of the slightest use a medicinal
agent and then its value ossly oyer-stated
What is the strongest possible presumpive evidence
in favor of particular remedy? Clearly that it
should have been prepared by responsible persons of
acknowledged skill in the treatment of disease.
Squarely on this foundation stands BENsON's
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER. Endorsed by
5000 physicians, pharmacists, druggists and chem
lists, it needs no further apology Introduction.
1t is the one and only true and tried external appi-

compliment of their dislike as Satan is said to hate
holy water.
Look in the middle of the plaster for the word
"CAPCINE." Price 20 cents.

SILVER COINAGE.
The House Committee Opposed to its
Discontinuance.


Discontinuance.
WASHINGTON Feb. 5-The House commit
tes on coinage, weights and measures held a
meeting today and adopted resolutions favor
ing the use OF coin in the Treasury, above 25
per cent of the greenback circulation for
payment of the national debt, and opposing
discontinuance of silver coinage. The recon-
mend that additional vault room be provided
and say further:
Resolved-That this committee recommend
that the committee on appropriations appro-
pirate such sum as they shall be advised is nec'
eSsary. for providing such additional vault
room; and we further recommend that such
additional vault room should be located in the
Mississippi valley at such point or points as
shall be determined by the secretary of the
treasury.
The only members of the committee absent
were Representatives Reese aud Washburn.
In the discussion preceding the final vote upon
the resolution Representatives Fisher and
Lacey opposed the 20 per cent provision as al
together inadequate for the reserve fund.
The following resolution offered by Mr..
HaZeltine was ruled out of order:
Resolved-That the secretary of the treasury
be required to pay the idle metal money now
in the government safes and vaults to bond
holders and other creditors, and that such pay
ment be rendered at the present place of depOs-
1t OF such metals; provided, that the secretary
OF the treasury may issue new legal-tender non-
iHtOAooe ooaituS tlodoury uOt6S III auultlOQ 10
the amount now in circulation sufficient to pay
such creditors, provided such creditors shall
prefer such notes to metal money.
aA On Wednesday next upon invitation Of the
committee, Mr., Burchard, director Of the
mint. will give his views upon a proposition Of
Mr.. Belford that siver coin certificates shall
be issued at the assay offices upon deposits of
silver bulien, the basis of the certificates to be
the coin fineness of the bullion
Mr.. Belford says that by this method the
markets of Colorado could be maintained in an
easy condition because certificates issued local
ly upon Colorado's silver product would supply
a circulating medium.
Mr.. Burchard was present at the meeting Of
the committee to-day, but made no statement.
In report of the last meeting he was erron-
eously accredited with favoring continuance of
silver coinage, whereas he favors the PROPOSE
tion OF Senator Morrill, to suspend the coinage
temporarily. Mr.. Burchard says additional
vault room for the storage of accumulated coin
is absolutely necessary whether coinage is
continued or suspended.
