DISCOVERY.

The invention of DR. r. v. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Inval;ds' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. ",
has, during the past thirty years, made
record III the cure of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases that fairly entities ii to out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affections. Especially has it manifested its
potency in curing consumption of the lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Fully % Per Cent.
OF all cases of consumption, in all its earlier
stages, are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious eNpectoTatiou tinclud-
ing tubercular matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme enaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to Us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease9 Nou need not take
our word for 1t. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery,
but who have been forced to confess that

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 31.-The depart

that the term America" in Germany's
decree prohibiting the entry of live cat

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. I.-Ex-United
States Senator Thomas G. Plat Of New
York, who is here visiting relatives.
in an interview with representative of
the Associated Press tonight discussed
the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and his methods
without reserve.
Il opposed DR.. Parkhurst," said he,
because / did not think his methods
practical and because / looked upon
his scheme as being visionary. His
idea Of a one headed police force is
simply absurd and would put in the
hands of the man at the head of that
department a power that he might use
TO the great disadvantage of the force.
His intentions are sincere but they are
visionary and therefore OF no use. He
has done a great deal of good. of course,
but believe his head is swollen by the
fattery of the New York papers. His
ideas regarding the suppression Of
crime are no longer suggestions but
orders He is continually saying
must and to this practical men not
only take exception but they criticize it
harshly."
Referring to the resignation Of Super
iutendent Byrnes, Mr.. Plat said: 81
do not believe that Mayor Strong will
accept It Byrnes is too valuable man
20 lose and when the department is re-
organized he will be at the head Of IL, 1

An old story.
mistake.

Every once in while some one or more
of the Washington correspondents starts
the story that the government is about to
call in the money loaned or deposited
with number of the states in 1887. The
amount of these deposits was about $685.
100000 In view of the fact that the treas
ury is in a rather needy condition the cor
respondents are sending out the statement
that the government is thinking of calling
very acceptable to the treasury depart
ment at this time. but it is extremely
doubtful if the states which got it would
take any notice of a demand of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for it.
1t was in 1886 that the money was de-
posted with the states. The government
had on hand between 100000 and $780,
100000 for which it had no immediate use.
An act of. congress authorized the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to deposit it with the
different states. Twenty-six states re-
ceived sums varying from $3.50, 755 10
S4.014, $50 each. Georgia got Sl.00l, APO
The money has never been called for.
and it is considered doubtful if the gov
eminent has any right to call for it with.
out an act of congress. authorizing it to do
so. And the chances for getting congress
to pass a resolution calling for it is not
very promising. The representatives OF
the twenty-six states that got the money
could defeat it. and would defeat it. in
all probability. The government can con-
slider these deposits among its valid, but
unconecta5le assets. If they have not
been marked as unavailable and worth
less on the treasury books they should be.

"Coin" DECLINED.

In arranging for the debate between
Prof. J. Lawrence Laughlin of the Chicago
University and w. II. Harvey, the author
Of COINS Financial School," which took
place in the hall Of the Illinois Club in
Chicago last Friday night. Prof Laughlin
proposed that they should debate one of
two propositions. namely that there is
scarcity Of gold and that the
scarcity of gold is the cause
Of the decline Gin prices since
1873. Mr.. Harvey declined to debate either
of them. Why did he decline? Does he
not claim in his book, COINS Financial
School, that there is a scarcity of gold,
and that on account of its scarcity prices
have declined? Ought he not at all times
and under all circumstances be ready to
defend the statements he makes in his
book? If he cannot defend them he ought
to say so frankly. What the people want
is the truth. A man who makes state
ments he is unwilling to defend admits
he is insihcere, and is willing to misead
the people.
What Mr.. Harvey proposed to debate
was that silver was the unit of value from
1892 until 1873. That question does not cut
much of a figure in the present silver dis
cussion. What the people want to know
is what is best for the country now. 1t
is not of much consequence whether silver
was the unit of value twenty-five years
ago or not.
The question which Prof. Laughlin and
Mr.. Harvey finally agreed to debate was
whether the United States should at once
enter upon the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l, Independently of the action
of any other nation. The refusal of Coin
to defend his theory that gold has become
scarcer and therefore has appreciated,
must have caused surprise.

Candor is a virtue possessed by so
few free silver advocates that it is a
pleasure to quote one candid expression
from such a source The Montezuma
(Ga.) Record says: The Savannah Morn

in 1892. but opposes it in 1896. The News
objects TO the terms now proposed Why
terms? What terms? What has the term
man got to do with the financial policy
of great daily or small weekly news
paper? Terms! termsg' That is to saw.
the Record knows nothing and cares
nothing about terms. What it wants is
free silver, terms or no terms. Inasmuch
as all business transactions, even the Rec
ord's subscription and advertising rates.
are based upon terms. it is difficult to see
how terms are to be avoided in the set
Element of the money question. In so far
as the position of the Morning News in
1892 and in 1895 on the silver question IS
concerned, there has been no change.

Mai. Branch's Sound Money Letter.
From the New York Post Qndl.


Gratifying indications of sound views in
to come in. Maj. T. p. Branch contrib
utes two-column article to the Augusta
Chronicle, in which he shows that free
coinage of silver al 16 to 1 would not add
a dollar TO the amount of money in circu-
lation, but would simply Danish gold from
the country. and make 1t harder for bor
rowers TO get any money at all. while my
sympathies" he says. ARE with the debt
or class. l would warn the debtors that
their free-slver friends viii make their
burdens heavier and their chains more
CALLING by attempting cures for their ills
with a remedy that has been discarded
from the Pharmacopaeia of Finance" AS
for the proposed combine between the
south and the west on the money ques-
ton, he suggests as a condition precedent
that the south should be paid for their
slaves, and even then he would deplore
that or any other sectional coalition. Re-
ferring to the common practice of attack
ing the greatest and best men in the Dem
ocratic party and calling them traitors
because they will not sanction free coin
age at 16 to ! by this country alone, he
considers this "one Of the saddest and
most portentous signs of the times" Maj.
Branch's first step toward financial re-
form would be to retire the greenbacks.
He would call in $1O0. 900 200 Immediately
and redeem them with that amount OF
gold now in the treasury. Then he would
sell $2i6 100000 of bonds at the lowest pos
sible rate of interest and redeem the rest.
Bravo, Mai. Branch, This sounds like the
democracy Of Andrew jackson.
