SILVER AND PRICES.
commodities Have Fallen Twenty Per Cent.
Silver Has Reduced One-half

SILVER Has Reduced One-haif.
In his speech at Gainesville, Ga. on
Jnly 23, the Hon. Hoke Smith said:
The claim, therefore, that the money
Of final payment has been reduced one
half, thereby depriving the public Of
sufficient volume, is simply groundless
We still use gold and silver both and
have more than we ever had prior to
the passage Of the act Of 1878. The
claim also that the currency has con-
tracted, thereby approaching the value
OF gold, is shown TO be false by the
enormous output of gold last year. 1t
was the largest in the worlds history
and amounted to $lSl, 500, 600. The
worlds coinage Of gold in 1898 rose to
1882, 7o5, 900, and that Of silver to
$3.50, 3o9, 900, making the largest year
ly coinage i'll the worlds history, with
possibly one exception. The worlds
stock in full legal tender, gold and sill
yer, today is, by the largest statistics,
So, 9G5, 900, 900 gold and SO, 435, 800, 900
silver, and it must not be forgotten that
even though the gold standard may be
in force, the silver coined furnishes
money for final redemption to relieve
the pressure upon gold, just as if it had
been coined upon free coinage plan.
The claim that gold has appreciated,
thereby depreciating the value of prod
ucts, is based upon the theory that the
decrease in the value of silver and in
the value Of products has been contem-
poraneous A careful exapination of
the facts shows this not to be true. The
average decrease of commodities since
1878 has been about 90 per cent. The
heaviest decline has been in the line Of
those things which the masses of the
people buy. All these reductions in
prices are partly attributed to a lessened
cost of production and partly to the re-
cent panic. While the commodities have
fallen 20 per cent silver has fallen 80
per cent.
But to consider particular articles: In
1878 corn sold for Al cents bushel; sill
yer was worth $1.3 an ounce. In 1895
corn sold for 90 cents; silver was worth
81 cents an ounce. Silver had fallen so
per cent and corn had risen 20 per cent.
In 1878 wheat was worth 81. II bush

From the Republican, Cedar Rapids, IolOa.
Mrs. V. Curley, who has resided in Clar-
ence, Iowa, for the past twenty-five years,
tells an interesting story of what she con-
siders rescue from premature death. Her
narrative is as follows;
" For ten years prior to 1894 / was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
/ had all the manifold symptoms of acute
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles we're
present in complication-I did not know
what it was to enjoy meal. No matter how
careful / might be as to the quality, quantity
and preparation of my food, distress always
followed eating. / was respondent and blue,

would have been glad to die. Often and
often could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set in, aud time and again was
obliged to call doctor in the night to re-
lievc sudden attacks of sufiocation which
would come on without a moments warning.
" My troubles increased as time wore on,
and ] spent large sums in doctor bills, being
compelled to have medical attendants al
most constantly. During 1892 and 1898 it
was impossible for me to retain food, and
water brushes plagued me. ! was reduced to

A Historical Fact.

The Nashville Banner says: "This is
q historical statement that can't be re-
futed, and it goes to the very heart Of
the financial issue. No country has ever
circulated concurrently for any coasid-
cradle length of time both gold and sill
yer money when there was free and in
dependent coinage of both. The attempt
ed bimetallism under such conditions
has resulted always in alternate circula-
ton of the two metals, the cheaper metal
taking the place Of the dearer as ratios
were varied, either by commercial
causes or by legislation.

From the Battle Creek, Mich, Noon.
This is indeed an inventive age. Science
and art have wed with each other in an en-
deavor to see which could outstretch the
by the announcement of some wonderful dis
covery or invention. Medical science has
made as great, if not greater, Announcements
in the past century than any other science
or art. Cures have been performed tina past
quarter of century that in the days of our
fathers were deemed impossible. Miracles
have been performed the past few years that
are almost incredible, and which seem al
most as marvellous as those performed in the
olden time.
A Noon reporter, hearing an almost in
credible story of the restoration to health of
Mary G. Gould, wife of John Gould, who
has been unable to sit up for over two years,
drove out to her home to hear the story from
her own lips.

and asked the lady if the story of her restor-
alton to health was true. eyes she said,

to die might as well die one time as an

most unbearable. A neighbor told my hus-
band that he had heard that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People was q remedy
highly recommended for such cases, and he
advised me to try them. The next time he
went to Battle Creek he called on Messrs
Amberg u Murphy, the druggists, and
bought six boxes Of the pills and brought
them and soon began to feel little better.

SYMPATHY FOR MARIA.

Governor Morton Flooded With Letters
 Asking For Mercy.
 ALBANY, Aug. .16.-Numerous letters and petitions, some sent by telegraph, continue to arrive at tho executive chamber invok- ing the clemency of the governor in be- h alf of Maria Barberi.
 Colonel Cole, the governor s private sec retary, says that the lack of knowledge revealed in these letters regarding tho real facts of the tragedy, the prisoners mo- tives, her age and social condition are as- tonishing. All that is apparent is a craze prevailing the whole country from Cape Cod to the Golden Gate in behalf of the prisoner. Last night after he had retired he was aroused by the receipt of a tele- gram from Fresno, Cal, addressed to the governor and saying, "We implore you to pardon the unhappy child, Maria Bar beri.' This message was signed "The Fresno Woman's Equal Suffrage Club"
 Although the notice of appeal acts as a stay, thousands of people arc still excited by the fear that Maria is to be executed during the coming week, and large number of the writers of letters to Gov ernor Morton arc of the belief that the condemned woman is child only 15 years old. Many of tho letters are devoted to eXtolling the prisoners course as self avenger, reviling her victim and harshly criticising the judge before whom she was tried
