A VICIOUS SYSTEM.
The Albany Herald says:

The present financial system Of this
country has no defenders save those
who are profting by it at the expense of
the government and the people. 1t is
all wrong and needs turning over and
inside out.
There is a constant leak, and that leak
represents that place silver occupied
before it was knocked out as part of the
redemption money Of the country and of
the government. The New York World,
though not a silver paper, sees the leak
and realizes the Importance of doing
something to stop it, 1t says:
"At this season of the year we ought
to be exporting wheat and cotton freely.
Commercial bills ought 10 be in album
dant supply. The rates of exchange
ought to be very low. We ought to be
importing gold heavily to maintain the
trade equilibrium.
"In fact, we are exporting very little
cotton and wheat. The supply of COM
mercial bills is exceedingly scant. The
rates Of exchange are excessively high,
There is serious threat of heavy ex-
ports of gold in the near future.
CAN this is the work OF the gamblers
in the cotton and grain markets. Their
operations have prevented exports by
rendering exports Improbable. In the
meantime the importation of goods goes
on, and the goods must be paid for with
gold. Gold exports are therefore regard
ed as very probable, to the extent of ten
or fifteen millions during the next few
weeks.
''This would be matter of small con-
sequence if our currency system were
sound AS it is, whoever wants gold
for export will draw it out of che treas.
ury. Every dollar thus drawn out will
weaken the security of all our currency
and, to that extent, impair our conf.
dence in our ability to keep the currency
reedeemable in gold on demand. The
only remedy open to the government I'm.
der the existing law is the issuing OF
more interest bearing bonds whenever
the gold reserve runs low.

ed shall we be free from danger every
time a speculative craze disturbs the
orderly course of trade.
''To take the government ont of the
banking business is the one great neces
sity."

Cancer
OftheBreaSt.

Mr.. A. H. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens of Memphis, and resides at 158
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed a
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
Of the best physicians, but they very
soon found that they could DO her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with cancer, and When APP
prised of this fact the doctors SAFE that
they would got attempt to save her;
that she was incurab1e. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep
seated and her health very low, one OF
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the
