our latter-day civilization, q disease I'M
heard of a few years ago, known as heart
failure. So common are sudden deaths.
people dropping dead without apparent
cause On our streets. in offices, shops and
/ factories that the Boston Herald stated
editorially that 1--WE seem to be in the
midst of an epidemic of sudden deaths, -
I and the Boston Record voices the cry of
the public when it asks what is the cause
of the great number of sudden deaths, and
what is the remedy?"
The deaths come from heart failure, and
the cause of heart failure IS weak nerves.
II is plainly evident that if people. by
overwork, fret. worry, dissipation or eX-
cesses, break down their nervous systems,
nerve weakness must result.
IL is not singular. therefore that the
( heart is the first organ to suffer the re-
suit Of nerve weakness. \ nervous irri-

CONS Financial School" is work
which is beng read a great deal. 1t is
one of the most plausible arguments ex-
tant in favor of silver. 1t is an appeal tC
the debtor class to rally to the support
of silver, because it is much easier tc
meet obligations with deprecated cur.
rency than with one of sterling value
This is not said openly but is ingenious
~ yelled by arguments put SO adroitly
and with such apparent candor that al
most they persuadeth the gold bug to be-
come a bimetallist
The rights of the creditor are ignored
l. is assumed that he loaned money OF
the present value of silver, at par with
gold, and is to be paid in the commercial
value of silver. This is taking for grant.
ed that all debts date from 1873. This
is nonsense, as any mans reason will as.
sure him. But Coin would have the
creditor who loaned a gold dollar III
1893, compelled to cancel the debt upon
payment Of a dollar whose purchasing
power is only one-half that which he
loaned. He would lnhict the actual
other suffers.
The depreciation of silver has been
steady, gradual and almost uniform every
year since 1878. No great wrong has
been done debtors, as the average life OF
debt has made that impossible. But
Com would retur per saituDl to the con-
ditions preceding 1873, and compel every
creditor to compromise with his debtor
at 30 cents on the dollar. There is no
crime IN this
1t seems difficult to comprehend where
IN silver Is wrOnged when an amount of
1t is IN circulation equal to that of gold,
and maintained on parity with gold by
the lnterposltion of government without
which it would be accepted by 20 one
