more. Instead Of times getting bet
ter they are getting worse. Go from
town to town and ask merchants as to
the condition of trade and times, you
will get better information than from
your gold bug supporters. Merchants
have all laid in large fall and winter
stocks but there is no demand for
goods, and what is the reason?
Farmers don't get anything for their
products SO they can buy nothing

DANGERS OF COFFEE.

The effects of coffee when pushed to
an excess may be to some extent con-
fused by the alcohol and tobacco
which often accompany it, but they
can be studied more accurately in
women, especially in those who do not
drink coffee, but eat it. DR.. O. Gurlliot
quotes case Of this kind. a woman Of
thirty-five Her pockets were always
full Of roasted coffee, and she ate it in
unStinted quantities. Her skin, which
was originally dark, took on an earthly
tint: constipation was most obstinate,
sleep was almost completely gone; she
was restless, anxious, and emaciated.
AS rule both nervous system and di-
geStiOn suffer in these cases. The lips

those who know the wakening power
of single cup, but much dreaming
and reStleSSneSS of nOn-aphrodisac
type. The pulse is weak and quick;
there is often an anemic murmur,
The muscles waste quickly; the al
cohol-drinker may be fat, the coffee
drinker is always thin-he may be a
mere skeleton; his eyes are bright and

large; he may be mistaken as a tea
drlnker. The best treatment is by ex-
ercise, baths and water-drinking. 1t

follows the giving up of his coffee a
cup of the old poison is the only thing
which will give sleep.-EX.

BRITANNIA UP TO DATE.

When Britain first at heavens command
Arose from out the azure main.
This was the charter of the land
And guardian angels sang the strain
james Thompson.
That can't be true. it seems to me,
Although it may be so,
Because those ancient times, you see,
Are very long ago.
Britt2n!a may have changed, somehow,
And so I have surmised.
That if those angels saw her now
They'd all be paralyzed.
The poets praises Of our land
Might make cha bosom heave,
Were they less hard TO understand,
And easier to believe.
Britannia may have baen like that
Ablaze with heavenly fire;
But | rather thnk-to put it flat
The poet was a liar.
At any rate the lady now
Is something like a hag.
With greedy eyes, q crafty brow,
And her claw on the money bag.
And something of a hypocrite,
With all her pious ways
Who numbies texts from holy writ
Because she finds it pays.
And strives to hide her low desire
Beneath her wealth and state.
Yet | think those angels can't admire
Britannia-up to date.

RIGHT TO THE POINT.
WHY 1 FAVOR FREE SILVER.

WHY I FAVOR FREE SILVER
MR.. EDITOR:
l am in favor Of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver for three rea-
sons:
!. Silver is the money of the con-
stitutiOn. It's demonetiZation in 1873
was crime against the constitution
which will cause the American people,
when they fully understand this SUBJ
ject, to substitute the name of John
Sherman for that of Benedict Arnold
as synonym for pertidy and treach-
cry. If we had a Supreme court to-
day such as Thomas Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln would appoint, in
stead of coterie Of corporation law
yers, the act demonetiZing silver
would long ago have been declared
unconStitutional and void.
2. The demonetiZ tion of silver
was inspired by England and the op-
position to its reconciliation now is
headed by the bond brokers of London
and their tools in Wall street
). The vast ajority Of the Ameri-
can people are in favor of the remOne-
tizaton of silver. This has been fully
demonstrated wherever the people
the elves, unhindered by office hold
ers and politicians, have been able to
voice their opinion.
These are the chief reasons why |
advocate free coinage, and | shall con-
tinue to support the Peoples Party
because it is the only party which has
openly and honestly declared itself on
this question. | wish to add here,
however, that the use of metals as a
m o6i nm of up ralic of har-
barism and that this fact is coming to
be more and more understood as the
world advances to a more perfect
civilization. But great reforms can
not be accomplished at once. Let us,
therefore, restore silver first. Then
let us abolish entirely the issue Of in
terest- bearing bonds and let us sub
stitute the credit Of all the people for
that of the bankers. And let us al
ways remember that at the back of
all our financial troubles is the fact
that we have for generations violated
the divine law: And If thy brother be
waxen poor and fall in decay with
thee, then thou shalt relieve him: yea,
though he be a stranger or a sojour-
ner: that he may live with thee. Take
thou no usury Of him or increase; but
fear thy God, that thy brother may
live with thee. Thou shalt not give
him thy money upon usury, nor lend
him thy victuals for increase" Uev.,
25, 3537.)
The great Napoleon saw the point
when he said, after studying set Of
com pound interest tables: There is
one thing to my mind more wonderful
than all the rest, and that is the
deadly fact involved in those tables
has not before this devoured the
whole world Respectfully,

CONTENT TO EXIST.

While the farmer can by any possi-
bilty live, the mass of the people are
contented, perfectly willing to exist,
and refuse to do thing towards
changing systems that vouchsafe to
our fundamental industry no more
than the poor privilege of existence.
Suppose, oh ye patient, apathetic
mass. that the farmer could more
than merely exist. that he could make
money. just imagine how business
would snap and crack with activity,
energy and expansion. How factories
would start, how la Dor would be en-
ployed and paid, how the wheels Of
commerce would hum, how the whole
land would wrinkle with the joyous
laughter Of prosperity and happiness. |!
To be contexo to simply exist in
country like this is the best possible
proof that the Almighty made great
mistake when he peopled it.-Farm,

WHAT THEY COULD DO.

The men who work for wages. if
they would unite at the polls, could
make every tyrannical corporation in
the land bow to them. They will
never do it solely with labor unions.
They must have tried and true
friends holding all offices and posi-
tions. They can direct the guns Of the
army. navy and militia il they will
elect a man like DebS for president
and then see that no commission
counts him out. for they may rest as
sured that no friend Of labor will ever
occupy the presidential chair if fraud
or force can prevent it. That has
been too plainly shown by the govern
ment's treatment Of labor in every
contest with organized capital The
money reformers Of the land, too.
may take the same JUNCTION to their
souls, for they will not be permitted
to have a president No king ever
gave up power if he could hold it by
fair means or foul, and enthroned
wealth in this country is of exactly
the same breed as kings. Cuba's
trouble is sample. Nine-t -tenths Of
her people want to be free from
SPANS taxes and usury, but Spain's
usurers will not have it. Nor will
Americas. On with the education
while you may.-Appeal to Reason.
