THE DRINK CURE.

The Kelley cure for the drink
habit is, perhaps, one of the great
est and most beneficent discoveries
Of the age According to a state
ment of a Kelley institute up north,
of about three hundred patients
treated for the drink habit, all but
twenty-seven had been permanently
cured. If all other Institutes are
doing so well (and they probably
are), is it too much to hope that, in
tie near future, curative means will
be within the reach of all inebri-
ates, and tnus tens of thousands OF
poor wrecks Of humanity will be re-
stored to their friends and society,
clothed in their right minds.
We can think Of no greater bless
ing TO mankind than to cure every
inebriate inhabiting the earth, but
while we are devising remedies,
would it not be common sense to
adopt some preventives 1t is a
maxim as old as man that an ounce
of preventive is worth pound of
cure. Physicians and all intelli-
n
gent persons fight other kinds of
disease by the use of prevcntives.
Possibly the people will sometime
perceive that the drink disease can
best be controlled by the use of pre-
ventives, and that the best prevent
i've is the destruction Of the disease
germ before it has had time to find
human Judgement. The doing away
with the manufacture and sale of
intOXicantS is common sense applied,
and in no way falls in common sense
below the efforts of cur boards of
health in extingushing other forms
of disease

bers cleared $50, 332 ,627.
In 1867, bonds sold were valued
at 1921 400, $50, and Wall street
cleared Sis, 254,O47.
In 1868, bonds sold were valued
at 1926, 443, 800. Wall streets
profit was S1l2,6l7 ,497 and in
addition, the same year, the govern
ment sold per cent. bonds to the
value of $l95, l39, $50. Gain of
Wall street, $72, 1872, 40.
Now let us take the sum total OF
interest paid the bond holders up to
the year 1892, which is $2,4Sl ,454,-
4OS, and it becomes apparent that
bond-holding is a wonderfully profit
able business for the bond-holder,
but an intolerable burden to the
taxpayer. And still, the end is not
vet, for there is still a billion dol
lars of debt remaining unpaid, and
to be paid in labor deprecated to a
mere pittance

dare to trample OH the rights Of the
masses as has our government.

cial difficulties are fully as great.
Wall street serves but one master,
and the Democratic statesmen will
not care to offend so powerful a SOW
ereign. There will be no increase
in the volume of currency There
will be no check on corporations,
and taxes will not be diminished.
The people have snapped riders, and
the last rider promises to be a hard

SINCE the close Of the late cam

THE OUTLOOK FOR SILVER.

1t is as plain as the nose on a
mans face that Wall street regards
the election of Cleveland as vic
tory of the East over the West.
This fact is brought out by the act
ivity of the gold-bugs.
Quite number Of bills have been
introduced in both houses Of con
gress looking toward the repeal Of
orr present silver law, and the dis
continuance Of the issue Of any
kind Of silver money and it APP
pears now that, in the next congress,
silver will meet with overwhelming
disaster.
While it is true that there are
many free-silver Democrats in the
South and West, it is also true that
they are only part of powerful
machine. the head of which is in
the East, and the motive power OF
which is furnished by the Eastern
money power.
A Democratic politician has no
independence, and so, no matter
what the wishes or interests of his
constituents are, he is always ready
to sacrifice his constituents rather
than antagonize the machine or
jeopardize party success.
If Cleveand's wishes are carried
out, within the next two years the
only basis for money will be gold,
exclusively; and so, what little
standing silver now has will be lost,
not to be regained under any Demo
cratic administration.
With the discontinuance of the
issue of any kind of silver money
will necessarily come a violent con-
traction of the volume of currency,
and further disaster to the debtor
class, further depression of all in
dustries, and augmented distress of
the laboring classes.
The machine will bend to Cleve-
land, and, through him, to Wall
street.

BODYBUILDING BUSINESS.

Senator Beck, in a speech in the
Emitted States senate, Jan. II, 1874,
stated that the bond-holders had
made out of the people, since the
first bonds were issued, in 1862, up
to 1869. at which time the bonds
were made payable in coin, over one
thousand million dollars profit. The
Senator furnished the figures and it
was done by the government selling
bonds for greenbacks and paying
the bonds in gold. The figures are
as follows:
In 1862, the government sold
bonds valued at $60,9S2 $50, for
which it received only $44 ,030, 649
in gold That is, the 5-20 bonds
were exchangeable for greenbacks,
and the greenbaeks were only worth
that much to the government in
cold On this transaction the money
sharks made a profit of SIG, 952, Sol.
In 1868, the government sold
bonds to the amount of $50, $751;
$50. The greenbacks the govern
ment received cost the bond-buyer
$l0l ,S9O,s54, which gave the Wall
street speculator net profit Of $685.
O96, COG.
In 1864, the government sold
bonds valued at 1881, 292, $50, and
received only, as gold was worth,
$l39 ,691 ,636. Gold was then worth
1921. Net profit, $l9l 1914, 6l3. !
In 1865, the government sold
bonds to the value of $279, 745, $50.
On the basis of the difference be-
tween the value of greenbacks and
gold, the government received only
sos, 2l3,090. The robbers profit
was 81 ,434, 500.
In 1866, the government sold
bond valued at 1924 ,9l4, 400, and in
this transaction the Wall street rob-

DEMOCRATIC DIFFICULTIES.

The Democratic party is very
much in the position of the man
who drew the elephant. The ele-
phant was fortune if the man had
known how to utilize his prize, but,
being unacquainted wirh the char
acter of elephants, he was sorely
puzzled to know what to do first.
The Democrats will have the post
offices and other lucrative positions,
but when it comes to legislation, the
party is III a sore quandary On
tariff, it will need to please the man
ufacturers and the people, the man
ufacturers going in one direction
and the people in another direction
On finance, it will need to please
Wall street, which wants less
money, and the people, who want
more money. On pensions, it will
need to please the rebel brigadier of
the South and the Union soldier Of
the North. On corporations and
combines, it is corporations versus
the people.
1t is one thing to promise, but
quite another thing to fulfill. II
the Democratic party had stopped
short with promise to turn all Re-
publicans out of Office and give
their places to Democrats. then the
party would have had plain sailing !;
but the party, in it's mad haste to
take the reins Of government, have
made sundry ther promises. In
some localities, Democratic leaders
have promised the people all sorts Of
of changes-such as free trade, tree
silver, reduction of taxes, and anti
trust laws, and in the South, the
overhauling Of the pension bureau,
with the possible repeating of por-
ton of pension legislation.
Now, the party has been out of
power for over thirty years, except
one presidential term. During that
term, the Republican party provid-
ed the revenues, and, therefore,
there was no material strain on
Democratic craftsmanship. Expert
ence in simply holding the Offices
and drawing the salaries does not
count for much when it comes to
raising the funds.
Of course, great party like the
party of Cleveland would be asham-
ed to follow in the old beaten tracks
of Republicanism. New roads will
have to be laid out in the Democrat
ic Wilderness, and it will take the
engineering skill Of "a Gladstone to
survey a practicable route as out
lined i'll Democratic platforms.
Free trade means large foreign
importations and diminished reve-
nues. The revenues cannot be cut
down without cutting down ex-

"Justas We go to press we learn that
President Cleveland has had made by

Inoendiary Talk Of Their Leader and Vio-

WEIR CITY, Kan, July 23.-The
Sabbath passed quietly. The mine
owners have decided not to accept the
protection of the deputy sheriffs offer
ed by Sheriff Arnold. They say the
deputies are all appointed from the
ranks of the strikers and are their
sympathizers and that the protection
they afford would not meet the occas-
ion. The owners are arming all their
men and the latter are under orders to
guard the lives and properties upon
which they are at work at all hazards.
The sensation of the day was a
speech last night by President Walters
of the United Mine Workers Western
association. He addressed a big meet
ing of strikers, and in the course of
his remarks praised the miners for
their work at Clements strip pit, where
they were fired on by men at work. He
regretted that he was absent at the
time. for he would have been glad to
have led them to conflict. Contlnu-
