The silver party is pushing the
fight for the restoration of the free
coinage of silver. The contest can
never be won by any new party,
but as the REGISTER has predicted
before if either of the old parties
declare for free silver, and the free
silver men stand with that party it
will sweep the country. Seventy
five per cent. of the people are in
favor of the free coinage of silver.
Silver is growing in favor the world
over, and the people are determin-
ed to no longer be governed by the
English money powers. The rela-
tive value of silver and other forms
of wealth remain the same as it has
been for years. Gold has apprecia-
ted. The business man does bust
ness against a constantly falling
market. The financial legislation
of this country has been remorseless
in its destruction of the debtor
classes. Homes have been swept
away by the depreciation in values.
1t is time to call halt and in 1896
the people will take hand and the
money changers of the world will
be placed on the same plane with
the debtor and the business man.
What we need in this country is
less speculation and creator econo-
my and a return to the dollar ofthe
daddies.

The L. S. Treasury is in a de-
cidedIy more comfortable position
than it has been for a long time
past. The gold reserve is $50, 643,-
3O7 and the net cash balance in ad-
dition is 1928, 1854, making a to
tai, available for pinch, of $751;
917,261. How much better the po-
sition OF the Treasury is now than
at the close of February, 1898, when
President Harrison was about end
ing his wasteful administration may
be measured by the fact that the
general balance in the Treasury
then was but s124,I28, O87 as against
the s187,917,161 just mentioned as
the general balance in March, 1895.
1t looks now as if some of the
Democratic editors in this State are
scared to death at the persistent
attacks on the proposed State Con-
vention by the Republican press,
and are afraid to take a position on
the proposed call for a convention.
Notably among these cowardly pa
Pers are the Wheeling Register-a
paper that should be in the fore
front of any movement that will be
for the bettermentof the Democratic
party in this State.

DIR. HARTMAN SAYS
Now is the Time to Guard Against Colds
The First Cold Weather.
H. NJ. MILLER,
COM j. f. FoUsT,
j s. MCCLAIN.

In recent lecture at the Surgical
Hotel DR.. Hartman is reported as
saying that no one need catch cold if
he is willing to give the matter slight
attentions; that a cold is the beginning
of chronic catarrh, consumption, dis
ease of the liver, stomach, kidneys
and pelvic organs. All this could be
prevented by taking his advice. The
DOCTORS professional duties compelled
him, for many years, to be much on
the road night and day, by carriage
railroad and steamboat. During all
this time he never caught a cold.
This could not have been done with
out Ph-ru-na, he says. At the slight
est evidence of cold few doses of
Peru -na will invariably check it.
This is especially seasonable advice
for the cold winter is here, with its
storms, sudden changes, slop rain
and snow. Thousands of people will
contract diseases from which they
VIII never recover, by catching cold.
DIR. Hartman's advice should be heed
ed. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh of any
stage or location. 1t is the most pop
ular remedy for lagrippe, coughs,
colds, etc.
Send for a free copy of an illustrat-
ed bo"k on catarrh. 1t contains Ga
pages of valuable instruction. Address
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, o. Ask your
druggist for copy of the Pe-ru-na AL
manac for 1896.
