Hatch, a prominent merchant 81
Quartermaster, Washington, l heard
him groaning. On going to his room
I found him suffering from cyamp
collie. He was in such agony I feared
he would die. I hastily gave him
dose of Chamberlanin's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was soon
relieved and the first words he uttered
were, "what was that stuff you gave
me?" Informed him. A few days
ago we were talking about his attack
and he said he was never without that
remedy now. I have used it in my
family for several years. I know its
worth and do not hesitate to recon-
mend it to my friends and customers.

the building up of small factories.
These are always the forerunners OF

Mississippi, with her wonderful re-
sources, has already been recognized
as the coming great agricultural
State of the Union, and there is no
reason why it should not also become
as great manufacturing State. With
our magnificent timber and other
raw materials, abundance of labor,
splendid sites and nearness and
cheapness of coal and iron, the next
few years should see wonders worked
in these lines. The relative position
and transportation facilities with the
commercial world are all that could
be desired

The Bolton (Miss.) News says:
"Some people who buy on credit
think that person who is able to
sell on time is able to lose it. All
they ask is, can we get it, and never
ask themselves, can we pay for it ?
This, perhaps, has as much to do
with the present condition of affairs
as all other agencies combined

not far distant when only the pure in
heart will be extended time on their

1.-THE credit SYSTEM" says the
Tunica Independent, "has been the
curse of the country ever since the
war, and the Independent has taken
occasion to say SO from year to year,
but apparently to no purpose, and
still all must admit that the credit
system in the main has been and is
still the way of doing business among
the merchants and farmers in the
South. But few, indeed, have ever
attempted to conduct their business
on cash basis, simply because the
profits were not large enough, but
had they calculated the losses incur
red by the credit system they would
have been financially better off to-day
had they stuck to the cash system.
The credit system has been continued
so long until now it's abolition seems
an utter impossibility, or, at least,
many think so. The truth of the
matter is the cash basis would have
been restored long since were it mol
that the margin of profits promised
to be exceedingly large, whereas, in
many instances, failure and ruin have
been the result"

The Wall Street Way.
From the New York World.1

From the New York World]
The man who is honest and useful
in his generation gives something in
return for everything he gets. If the
community serves him he serves the
community. If he takes profit from
the community he gives it profit in
return.
It is the essence of fair business to
do this. All fair traders do it. And
it is the essence of Wall street bust
ness not to do it.
The rule of Wall street economy is
to get without giving, to keep the
quid and take the quo, to take some
thing whenever anything is to be had
and to give nothing.
Wall street does not labor or pro-
duce; it does not distribute the pro
ducts of labor; it does not trade. It
merely preys upon labor and takes
toll from trade.
The man who makes million in
Wall street out of watered stocks
or in wheat deal does not make it
out of Wall street, but out of the
business men and producers of the
country, to whom be gives nothing
in return.
To get without giving is the es.
sence of fraud, and it is also the es.
sence of Wall street operations. To
get as much and to earn as little as
possible is the aim of every jobber Of
stocks, Of every gambler in the pro.
ducts of labor, of every manipulate,
of the markets in which the people
must buy the necessaries of life.
If you must get unearned money
take to the highway. That is on the
whole surer than the Wall street way
and it is much less harmful to the
community.

The Man Who Knows It All.
From the Philadelphia Record.]

From the Philadelphia Record.l
The man who knows it all is lux
ury which no decent community,
however forbearing, can easily afford
to tolerate. With all his blatant |
egotism he boils down to an asinine
specimine of the rarest kind. He is
a bore, an itch, a disagreeable nui-
sance anywhere and everywhere. He
knows everything about everybody,
and insists upon ventilating his ample
knowledge upon every one in all
places. You 60 into the street, he is
there. You sit in your study and up
comes his card. You go to the
theatre or to any place Of amusement,
and behind you sits this irrepressible
ass. You go to see your girl, and
10 be is there also! Neither place
nor person is sacred from his profane
presence. He outpreaches the preach
er, outlies the lawyer and leaves the
doctor far behind in sending you to
your grave.
Just now he has a new hobby. It
is politics. He knows exactly why
we ale thus and so and can tell US
easily how to be otherwise. He has
all the leading questions of the day
down to the finest of fine points,
Tariff, currency, Monroe doctrine are
at the tip of his tongue. He knows
all about exports, imports, internal
revenues and the whole calendar of
industrial complexities. If a fight
break out in New Orleans, the man
who gets shot used to room with him
at school or college. If Brazil and
France have a set-to, he can tell in
an instant the cause of the contro-
versy and the merits of both sides.
He is generally for war-he is for
"riding in blood up to the brides -
and he may always be counted on as
| O lingo of the first water.
Verify, what an indispensable re.
proach to our manhood he is-this
fellow who knows it all! What a
tedious travesty upon the common
sense of the community! What an
unspeakable reveler in the arts that
disgust all thoughtful men! But
there! In kicking there is no reward j;
for, like the poor he, shall be with us
always-this man who knows it all!

MIR. Angel, said in his bac-
address recently:
Chow many men in our times seem
TO think that for every evil, real or
with which any of us are
afflicted, some legislative panacea can
be found! Competition, that spur
to individual enterprise, we are ur-
gently recommended to extinguish
by law. England is seriously con-
sidering whether she shall not follow
Germany in pensioning laborers. So
cialistic scheems TEEN in the brains
of men all about us. They are not
limited to those which are defensive
of the rights and liberties of the in
diyidual against the strong, but also
include those which throw upon the
government, Federal, State or munic
ipal, the duty to greater or less
extent of providing labor and wages
and even partial or entire support
for large classes of men. There is
in some quarters too much DISPOSE
ton to coddle men with the idea that
for the overwhelming majority of US
there is any way for us to gain an
honest living except to work for it
day in and day out with all our
might. No other plan has ever yet
succeeded. Wehave no good grounds
for supposing that any other plan
ever will succeed. It is demoralizing
to a people to be cherishing the
notion that by any jugglery of legis-
lation this necessity of striving with
all our keenness of mind and with all
our industry to accomplish some
thing can be escaped.
"You will not understand me as
commencing a spirit of selfish disre-
gard of others. We are all members
of society. All men are our brethren,
children of the one father And we
are bound to remember our duties to
them. We are to do them no wrong.
We are to help them according to
our ability. We are to make sacrifice
for them, if need be. But what I am
deprecating is what seems to me an
increasing tendency to substitute for
the old-fashioned American individu.
atty and enterprise and pluck, which
hewed down the forests, turned the
wild prairies into farms, builded
towns and cities, weak and whining
dependence on Utopian schemes of
legislation or social reconstruction
for our prosperity. What we need
is not so much new laws or lew
social devices as to keep up the race
of men, brave, intelligent, industri-
GUS capable Of standing squarely on
their own feet and breasting the
storms of life. So long as we can
rear these we shall have laws and a
social organism adequate for OF,
needs"
The gentlemen talks with good
sense, and it is presumed that he is
opposed to the unwarranted pension
ing of so many Union soldiers, a:
this evidently does not tend to KEEP
up a race of Industrious, capable
self-reliant men.-Memphis CONNIE,

The city council of New Orleans
has promptly adopted the plans for
The drainage of that city which were
recently prepared by an advisory
board composed of distinguished en-
gineers. It is estimated the work
will cost 100000 and that it will
take at least four or FIVE years to
carry out the plans of the advisory
board. If New Orleans can secure
complete system of drainage for the
sum named it will be money we'll ex-
pended, for it would add immeasura-
bly, to the attractiveness and health
fulness of the city. Work on the
sewerage system of the city is already
we'll advanced, and difficulties which
were regarded as insurmountable
have been overcome by engineering
skill, and within three or four years
from to-day the city will be severed
from Carrollton to the Barracks, and
the old open vaults, SO offensive to
visitors, will be a thing of the past.

BENTON, LOUISIANA,
THURSDAY, ::::::::::::AUGUST I, 1895.

The act of congress demonetizing
silver, that is, striking the silver dol.
lar from the list of coins authorized
to be issued from the minis, became
q law on February ~, 1873. Prior
to that time we had genuine bimetal-
lism, free and unlimited coinage OF
gold and silver into legal tender
money. Since then we have had linn
tied coinage of silver part of the time,
and no coinage of silver dollars at all
for the rest of the time. just now
the coinage of silver dollars is practi-
cally suspended. In December, 1871,
Germany decreed the gold standard,
commenced the coinage of gold and
stopped the coinage of large silver
coins. Before this Germany had very
little gold, but had about $500, 0Oo,-
900 of silver. These silver coins were
not demonetized until July, 1873,
when the exclusive gold standard was
established, with the mark as unit
Silver was made subsidiary and limit.
ed to 10 marks to each inhabitant,
with legal tender limited to 20 marks.
Germany did not, therefore, fully de-
monetize silver until the United
States had demonetized it.
