THE GOLD STANDARD.
Ex-Congressman Tsynum, of Indiana, De-
clares in Favor of 1T.

Ex-COnSressman Bynum, of Indiana, De-
clares in Favor of 1t.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May Tx
Congressman Bynum last night de-
clared unequivocally for single gold
standard. He said: mo permanent
restoration of confidence can take
place until the treasury of the United
States is put upon sound basis. I'm
der existing laws the treasury must,
on demand. redeem the national bank,
greenback and Sherman notes and
practically the silver certificates, in
gold. More than a thousand millions
of currency is being upheld by a gold
reserve of 100000 900. This condition
of itself was enough to shake conf
dence in the soundness of the system.
Gold is the standard of measure
ment of values throughout the world,
and whether we maintain it or not as
the basis of our financial system, our
trade and commerce will be carried on
and values ascertained and settled by
the same inexorable laws which fixes
the relation of products throughout
the civilized country. Every country
in the world, no matter what the
character of its currency, measures
values by the gold standard. If it's
currency is below the standard, prices
are augmented to compensate for the
depreciation. If all the great COM
mercial nations would enter into an
agreement to coin both gold and silver
at ratio approXimating their COM
mercial equality, the price of silver
would, no doubt, be given sufficient
stability to hold it up to it's coinage
value. There is, however, but re-
mote possibility Of an international
apreement''

Clerks Engaged on the Presidential Proc
lamatiOn to Open 1t.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Under direc-
tions from the commissioner of the
general land Office clerks are engaged
in the preparation of the presidential
proclamation which is to open the
Kickapoo country to settlement, but
the fact that the school indemnity Sc
lections made by Gov. Renfrow have
not yet been passed upon retards
the work. It has not been decid-
ed whether the proclamation shall
recite the descriptions of the allot-
ments and the indemnity selections
and declare the remaining lands open
to settlement, or whether the remain
ing lands shall be described separately
as to each tract, and those not included
specifically in such description be
designated as reserved from settle
ment. Whatever the method adopted,
if the governors selection be admitted,
it remains certain that there will be
less than 600 claims of 100 acres each,
and the scramble of Is, 900 or 20, 600 set
tiers will, it is feared, occasion trouble

Topeka, Kan, May 1.-THE condi-

Usage county, grows worse. Some of
the families are on the verge of star
walton, with nothing in the house ex-
cept little -four given to them by
the township trustees upon the an

The total amount was 1000 pounds
distributed among the families of 200
men who were out of work. This has
been consumed, and the commission
ers are not able to give any more relief,
the county being in bad condition
financially. If the relief to the Scran-
ton miners be continued, it will have
to be extended also to the Peterton and
Usage City camps, where the situation
is as bad. The average pay of the
miners who are at work is from So to
SO month, not that amount a week,
as Labor Commissioner Bird had been
informed. Some of the pay checks for
two weeks work yesterday ran as low

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
The Buckeye State Contributes
the Story of q Veteran's Sc arch.
How Fred Taylor, q Member of the GAL
LIANT 10th n. Y, Y. L. Finally Found
What He Eas Sought Since
the War Closed.


the War Closed.
CFrona the Ashta6uEa, Ohio, BeGcon.)
Mr. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmira, n. Y, and from there en-
listed in the 1S9th regiment, N. Y, V. l.,
with which he went through the war and
saw much hard service. Owing to exposure
and hardships during the service, Mr.. Tay-
Tor contracted chronic diarrhoea from which
he has suffered now over 80 years, with alb
solutely no help from physicians. BY
nature he was wonderfully vigorous man.
Had he not been, his disease and the exper-
iments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing which
afforded him relief. He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour day on an average, and
he was reduced to skeleton. A year ago he
and his wife sought relief in change of
climate and removed to Geneva, O., but the
change in health came not. Finally on the
recommendation of F. j. Hoffner, the
leading druggist of Geneva, who was cog
infant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try a
box. GAS a drowning man grasps at q
straw so took the pills." says Mr.. Taylor,
t'but with no morehope of rescue. But after
thirty years of suffering and fruitless search
for relief at last found it In DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The day after 1 took the first
pills commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box Twas in fact new
man" That was two months ago. Mr.
Taylor has since taken more of the pills and
his progress is steady and he has the utmost
confidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well as
in his youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con-
siderable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his sufferings,
experience and cure to Beacon reporter,
Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help
meet these many years, said she wished to
add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills.
t'To the pills alone is due the credit of rails
ing Mr.. Taylor from helpless invalid to the
man he is Today" said Mrs. Taylor. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hui
manity. Any inquiries addressed to them at
Geneva O., regarding Mr.. Taylor's case
they will cheerfuuy answer, as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have done for them and that
suffering humanity may be benefited thereby

ements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists
