Colonel Ussery Of De Soto, Louisiana,

him by q Spanish woman, a native OF the

salve is formed; put a portion OF this on

the remedy twice 10 bis " family with
entire success. 1t has also been tried
on two cases 10 Rhode Island with per-
feet success. Such 9 remedy lie within
the reach cf every one, and should be

townsmen. and he says for q positive fact
that he knows he has been suffering from

In the debate on the Currency bill last
Saturday in the United States Senate
the two Senators from Colorado made
bitter speeches against the sdministrs-
tion. wslcott accused the President OF
playing into the hands Of the New York
bond syndicate, and said that the Presi-
dents message to Congress contained the
lying statement that he desired to main
tain q parity in the currency when he
had already negotiated contracts with
discredited silver.
Hill Of New York made . vigorous
speech, defending the bond issue; ct the
conclusion Of which he offered q resolu-
ton indcrsing Cleveland's course.
Stewart supplemented the Hill reso-
luton with the following resolution:
Resolved, That tsere is no authority
Of law TO buy gold coin in preference to
silver coin for any purpose whatever.
Teller made the most bitter speech.
He said ID was the first time IN history
that in the administrations affairs peo-
pie had ground for charging direct dis
honesty. He did not charge, however.
that the President or Secretary OF the
Treasury had profted financially BY the
transaction. In closing his speech be
said: There will be a breaking down
and q breaking up in this condition OF
things, and when it does come silver will
have its innings"

WORK AND WAGES IN CHINA

Apprentices in China work long terms,
much Of the time doing skilled work ct a
total cost to the employer Of less than
81 so per month. Sixty cents to 81 per
month and board would include I'M
counted thousands Of bostmen, clerks
and household servants, and perhaps
overstate the facts considerably. Many
Of the blacksmiths, coolies or burden
bearers. basket and bamboo workers,
and others would almost likely fall into
the same category. Carpenters working
by the day get about 10 cents per day
and clothe and feed themselves, but take
the risk Of course OF lost time. Other
''journeymen" work, so far as | know,
does not vary much from this figure
carpenters, masons, bricklayers, etc., be-
ing about the same. Almost any OF
these, however, would doubtless be glad
to get work at 81 per month gross.

Secretary Herbert will ask Congress
for authority to transfer to the Interior
Department all the wooded lands not
needed for naval purposes. Live oak
timber was once the chief material en-
ployed for our wsrships. and to insure q

A curious state Of affairs was disclosed
BY the conference between Secretary Car
lisIe aud the Ways and Means Commit
tee over the proposed new loan. MIR.
Carlisle did not want the dates upon
which the gold was to be delivered made
public, because the parties who have taken
the loan fear that il the dates are known
the gold OF the world may be cornered
against them. II Mr.. Carlisle had talked
an hour he could not have said as much
in favor Of bimetsllism as he said in
making this admission. II appears that
. few gold spectators have the power to
cause . rise or fall in the money which
is the basis Of credits in all the great
commercial countries Of the world. II
the gold spectators can corner the gold
market against the United States they
may do so against any European coun-
try that might need gold. In this way
money could be made to rise or fall to
the great profit Of spectators, but with
corresponding losses to commercial o
industrial interests. An essential con-
dition Of prosperity is that money shall
have . steady value. And money in the
true sense Of the word means money OF
ultimate redemption. There is in fact
no more money in the world than the
part Of the whole which will be accepted
in payment Of debts.-S. F. Bulletin.
