CATARRH DESCRIBED.
A Short History of Bad Malady by
an Eminent 1edicai Authority,

This is the way chronic catarrh u.s.
ually begins: A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual
Then follows a sensitiveness of the
air passages, which inclines to catch
cold very easily. At last the person
has cold all the while seemingly.
More or less discharge from the nose,
hawking from the throat, nostrils
stopped up, full feeling in the head,
and cracking in the ears. The Peru
ma treatment for this disease is the
only treatment that has withstood the
test of time. Pe-ru-na should be
taken without interruption until
every symptom disappears.
Send to The Pe-ru-1ia Drug Manu-
featuring Company, of Columbus,
Ohio, for copy of their latest book
on chronic catarrh. This book is a
complete guide to the cure of all
forms and stages of this dreadful dis
ease.

solidity and permanence Of our pres
ent money system (not even Popu-
list will say that our money is not
good rather than to waste their ener
gies in creating uneasiness and dis
content where they have no power to
improve the condition of the debtor
portion Of our people? # not, why
not?" The answer to this question is
given in the answer to No. 20, except
as to the question of confidence in the
present money system which IS abso-
lutely ignored by the government in
every report male by the different
banks of our town-the reserve fund
in cash being in specie or greenbacks.
Now, as for the United States de-
posts. you find that the forty-five
thousand dollars are secured by fifty
Thousand dollars of Government
bonds This looks to me as though
the government absolutely ignored
the theory of confidence in one OF
the so-called best banking systems
ever created. Now. in reply to ques-
ton of good money, the national char
acter of our money is created by the
statute. giving it the national charac-
ter. In conclusion it is not that We
want to create an unnecessary agita-I
tation or uneasiness about our present
money system, but we do feel it our
privilege and duty to point out what
we believe to be the detects in it. We
are feeling the effect of cause and
the true solution of it will never be
reached through a system OF ridiculeI
alone. That plan might be effective
where ignorance is bliss. Take the
recorded history of our condition and
demonstrate by mathematical calcu-
lations the error of our claims on a
logical and argumentative basis and
convince us with that if you will.
One other point wish to notice is
that the director of the mint, of 1898,
gives the per capita circulation at
$1,000 and the October report, of 1895,
gives it at S22. 81, a decrease of per
capita circulation of S3.45. Will the
writer demonstrate with hgues how
we can continue to follow out
this system and hold the CONNER
cial or business interests of this in
dustrious and enterprising people in
normal, healthy and prosperous con-
dition. Give it to us if you can, for
we stand much in need of it.
This decreased circulation, amount
ing to two hundred and forty millions
of dollars in round numbers, based
upon our present population of over
seventy millions of people, is great
er volume of money than the present
banking system now gives us-ex-
ceeds it by S2S, 900, 900. All the ridi-
cule that can be produced cannot con
trovert truthfully these conditions.
This is burning question and the
fire is growing fiercer day by day or
am very gravely mistaken in my
opinion. JOHN T. JANNEY.

The World says the school board
Should be severely criticised for the
action taken by them in closing the
schools for the purpose of allowing
the teachers and scholars to attend
the fair at Hagerstown
1t seems to us very strange that the
editor of newspaper should criticise
the board for doing that which he
himself did, the more especially when
it is distinctly understood that the
teachers will akeup the time lost.
The Hagerstown fair W as an in
structive object lesson and the only
regret of any friend Of education is
that some of the teachers and scholars
could not attend. The World should
remember that an education does not
alone consist of book know ledge, and
the editor thereof should aim to
broaden his vision.

The Sugar we Use.

In the issue of International Trade
for October is presented an interest
ing diagram, drawn from official
sources, showing the increased CON
sumption of sugar in the United
States since 1879 and the decreased
proportion of our SUPPLY obtained
from Cuba. In 1879 we consumed L.
$50, 900, 900 pounds, or SO pounds per
capita. In 1894 we consumed $780,
ooo,ooo pounds, or O. pounds per
capita. Our increased demand doub.
led the demand form the SpanishWest
Indies, but we had nevertheless, to
draw on other sources of supply. In
1879 Spanish sugar constituted three
tourths of our supply, while in 1894
1t was but one-half. Meanwhile, Eu-
rope sent us eighty times IS much
and Hawaii eight times as much as in
1879.

A Home Thrust.


Baltimore sun.
AT large meeting OF Democrats at
Martiusbnrg, w. Va, on the 9TH of
April, 1894, resolutions were passed
calling upon Senators Faulkner and
Camden to use their influence for the
speedy passage of the Wilson tariff
bill. The concluding resolution de-
clared: 1--WE hold that any Democrat
ic member of Congress who will CO.
operate with monopolists, trusts and
tariff beneficiaries and their Republi-
can allies in Congress in furthering
a scheme of delay so infamous is un-
worthy OF the confidence and support
of the people, and we sincerely trust
that in this critical period in the fight
for industrial freedom none will be
found in our ranks. Who were the
members of Congress that 'co-operat-
ed with trusts and their Republican
allies in Congress? Senator German
was one ofthem. And now Senator
Faulkner is found actively cooper
ating' with hin-with the man
whom Senator Faulkner S constituents
declared unworthy Of the support
and confidence of the people" Per-
haps they may have something to say
to Senator Faulkner later on about
true Democracy. Let him look to
his own fences.

Never in the history of this country
was such homage paid relic as that
bestowed upon the old Liberty Bell on
its trip from Philadelphia to Atlanta,
where it now is on exhibition. No
triumphal conqueror, no king or pc
tentate in this or any other land could
boast of the affection of the people as
could this inanimate object, had it the
power to express the feelings that
would throb in the breast of a living
creature. 1t is we'll that this should
be. 1t teaches lesson of patriotism
that can be understood by old and
young. And though unable to give
forth sound. its very muteness-re-
verberating in thunder tones-pro-
claims liberty throughout the land.

During the course of his sermon at
one of the churches in this city, last
Sunday, the minister, who is a Demo
Graf, referred to the proneness of the
Jews TO lapse into idolatry. He stat
ed that about once in 40 years they
would stray into by and forbidden
paths and worship things material
A member of his congregation, a Re-
publican, nudged his wife rather Wig
orously. At the close of the service
he explained why he did so, by say
ing that the minister remarks would
apply to the people of this country as
well as the Jews; that they, too, have
a very bad habit of following the
teachings of false prophets, and that
they go astray about as often as the
parties under consideration by the
minister.

While it is not a surprise, the most
ultra Democrats never entertained the
iGea that Republicans Of the Second
Congress onal District would so utterly
forsake their representative in the
lower House of Congress. The very
mention of his name at this time
would cause a stampede in the G.. O..
P.-Free Lance.
The above is excusable in view of
the fact that the editor of our Demo-
cratic contemporary has not fully
heated up. Why bless your soul,
brother no one is worrying about Mr..
Dayton but few of you fellows. He
licked the man you love and is able
to do so again. Is that why you en-
deavor to bclittle him? Come to
think Of it, it was not such big
thing after all. The man who desert
ed his constituents as Mr.. Wilson did
could not expect anything else.

Senator German says that 1.-THE
wives, mothers, and sisters of Mary
land are helping him in his fight;
that they intend that white men shall
rule in Maryland. If he is correct
why does his gang fill the CITY of Bal
timore with repeaters and thugs for
the purpose of saving him and his
party from defeat. The blacklist ne
gro in Maryland is a gentleman CON-
pared with men of the Bat Shea
type, thousands of whom are EMPLOYED
to carry that city by fair OF foul
Senator German knows as does
everybody else that there is no danger
ct mixed schools. He knows the
negroes do not want anything of the
kind; that they do want an oppor.
tunity for their children to secure an
education and that they should have

Senator Faulkner has been aiding
Senator German in more ways than
one. He not only made some very
vigorous speeches, but he helped his

to inform both the distinguished Sen
ators that Maryland and West Virgin
ia irretrievably lost to the Democracy.

Here is London dispatch which is
full OF meat: Manufacturers of wool

rangement with the United States as
extremely satisfactory. Mills at
Bradford, which were shut down two
Years ago, are running overtime on
American goods and have large
orders ahead. Mills which could
have been bought for a little more
than the ground was worth in 1903
are now choice property. The wool
en- manufacturers realize the value Of
the United States market and are pre-
pared to make great efforts, and, il
necessary, sacrifices to retain it. 3"
Yet there are those in this country
who are going wild over the iree-wool
clause of the German Wilson law.
Not only has it ruined the wool-grow-

the near future the mills will follow.
