The September number OF the Political
Science Quarterly IA Journal of political
economy and law edited by the faculty of
political science of Columbia college, New
York contains an article by Captain Alfred
E. Lee, OF Columbus. entitled "Bimetsllism
In the United States" which sketches the
history Of the various attempts TO introduce
the double standard in this country from
the earliest colonial times down 10 the pres
ent, and shows tor endeavors to- that in
every instance the attempt has been fall
ure, and has resulted only IN mischief. In
every bimetallic experiment which our gov
ernment has attempted il has been found
that, with the free coinage OF the metals,
both legalized as a standard. the least val
liable drives out the most valuable, and the
inferior currency becomes, in fact the sole
standard of values. The article concludes
with history of the various attempts to
establish double standard by International
agreement, and maintains that ii would be
an act of folly on our part TO enter into any
such a covenant, and thereby surrender the
independent control of our coinage. The
history of the Bland-AIlison act. now in
force. is also given. and the proposition i
maintained that the free coinage of silver
under that act would assuredly drive out
gold and give us an exclusively silver stand
ard. in accordance with all the historical
preccdentS.

1t seems to do the New York sun dem
ocratic to the corel good to hit mugwump
just as hard and just as close TO the top of
the belt as il can. This is what it says of
Car SchurZ's attack on the republican
Standard-be in Massachusetts,:
1t appears. further, that Mr.. Schurz OBJ
jectS 10 Oliver Ames. the republican candi-
date for governor of Massachusetts, because
he is a millionaire III his own right. but does
not object to John +. Andrew, the mug
wump candidate, who is millionaire by
marriage. The distinction is fine one In
any case Mr.. Ames remains a fortunate
man, for he enjoys not only millions, but
the dislike of Carl SchuTZ.
The thought may occur TO some readers of
Mr.. Schurz's letter that, dangerous as the
milliOnaires in politics may be, and the dan
ger is one much exaggerated. they are not
more dangerous than are men without party
and without principles, cOndottieri of pol
iticS. who fly from one side to the other, ac-
cording to the demand for campaign
speeches. independent as lshmael was indie
pendent, because their hands are against

The following cheerful paragraph appears
in the Ohio State Journal in the form of a
special dispatch from Springfield:
1t has been repeatedly alleged by the non
pal tisan democrats that McMilln will re-
cpive the solid vote of the knights of Labor
in this city. This is denied by members Of
the order A workman said today: III has
been announced that the Knights of Labor
are a unit against Kennedy. This is en-
tirely untrue. | am acquainted with re-
publican kuil hts of Labor who work right
in the same shop with me, and they have
repeatedly assured me that they intend to
vote for General Bob Kennedy and that
they believe the republican Knights of La
Dor will stand firm" The question Of Ken
nedy's election in the district by at least
1000 majority has been settled long ago
and sdmitted by sensible democrats. The
republicans are now redoubling their ener-
gies TO try and double that majority, if pos
sible
We believe all of this to be true. and that
the republican district and county tickets will
be elected by fair majOrities. But repub-
licans will make no mistake in ''redoubling"
or even multiplying their energies.

Why is it that three bottles of b. B. B.
are sold in Atlanta to one OF any other

in the state of Georgia as any other prepa-
ration? No one need take our word. but
simply ask the druggists. Ask the people.
They are competent witnesses. Six houses
in Atlanta are buying B. b. b. in five and
ten gross lots. and some of them buy as
often as every two months. Why these un-
precedented sales here at home with so lit
