Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion of theear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is bycon-
stitutional remedies. Deafness iscaused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have arumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and thistube
restoredto its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamei condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that

This is the sum we hear the Salzer
Seed Co. offer for a suitable lame for
their wonderful new oats. The United

Salzer's oats is the best of 300 varieties
tested. A great many farmers report
a test yield Of 200 bushels per acre last
yea and are sur this can be grown
and even more during 1895. Another
farmer writes us he cropped liz bush

into his room" Now, gentlemen, let
US stop a moment and analyZe this.
Here he is nudged by the inquisitor:
here he is touched up by the power
he is building for the purpose of this
prosecution. In place of the grand
jury carefully investigating this mat
ter, leaving him to the natural condi-
tons, investigating behind him. but
guiding him and building him up for
the purpose of launching this prosecu-
ton against this defendant. Now,
what does he say in his testi-
mony here? Does he make that same
slip? If he does, it will be suspicious,
won't it? If, walking upon the lines
of his memory. he makes the same
slip, after he has been nudged in the
second statement, you will regard it
with serious suspicion, will you not?
Here is this testimony before you,
gentlemen. when you returned to
the Ozark, what did you do?''
Answer: well, L went right to bed.
No, L went right down into where 1
lived in the basement, when I came
down, and 1 went to bed" Question:
did you do anything before you went
to bed in regard" Answer: Yes, sir,
tndC Is right; Wnen came nllo the
flats, Harry had left both doors open,
and he told me when L came back
that both doors void be OPEN"
There is the nudge again-the slip
of the witness; the nudge of the in
quisitor and then memory comes in
to supply the testimony. Gentlemen,
these things appeal to you-what for?
They appeal to you that most strongly
to criticise this mans testimony. You
are asked to use his eyes. his ears, his
lips, as the credit which is to warrant
you in taking this mans life.

PURELY PLATONIC,
HE CLAIMS, WE'RE HIS RELA-
TIONS TO THE DEAD GIRL.
A MYSTERY In A BATH TUB
Partially Cleared Up-Jury De-
cides 1t Was Accident-She
Was His Wife.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 7.-Sev-
a pretty eighteen-year-old girl, was
asphyxiated while taking a bath in
the suite Of rooms belonging to s.
G.. Meyer, a wealthy young man.
The girl had called on Meyer about
9 o'clock in the evening, and, find
ing him out, proceeded to take a
bath. Two hours later her lifeless
form was discovered in the bath
room. A large gas burner used in
heating water for the bath had ex-
hausted the oxygen in the air, and
the girl died before she could get
out. In explaining the girls visit to
his apartments, Meyer said there
was nothing improper in their re-
lations. Their affection was purely
pIatonic, and the girl was in the
habit of coming there to admire his
bric-a-brac, and to read novels with
him. Yesterday it was developed
that Meyer had married the girl
last August in Oakland, and some
of the dead girls friends said she
had told them that the reason for
keeping the marriage a secret was
Meyer had another wife in the East
from whom he was getting a divorce.
The coroner's inquest was held yes
terday, and the jury decided death
was accidental. Meyer was not pres
ent at the inquest, and it was stated
he could not be found.

England" That is. the prices would

England" That is, the prices would
be nearly double in England what
they are in France.
AS a matter of fact this is not the
case, the difference in price being
very nearly the difference in cost of
transportation between the two
countries.
Although this demonstration eff
fectively disposes of the conjecture
of the relation of prices to money
quantity, 1t will be innocuous as a
remedy for the financial craze with
which the silverites are affected.
They have a very curt and decisive
method of disposing of all such dem
onstration by simply alleging that
the figures upon which they are
based were doctored. But to the
palmer class of people, not yet af-
fiicted with this lunacy, and who are
seriously and honestly looking for
information, the demonstration by
Mr.. Springer will be of great value.
1t is not the quantity of money, but
it's quality that affects prices. We
need go no farther than our own
experience during the civil war to
demonstrate this. Prices of all COM
modities We're at their highest when
the greenback was at it's lowest. All
prices were measured by two stand
ards Always and everywhere the
price was at one figure if it were paid
in gold and at another and very
much larger figure if paid in green
backs.
Down in the Confederacy the same
condition existed. The negro who
would not blacken your boots for a
thousand dollars in Confederate cur
rency would do it very gladly for
a half dime in silver. The same con-
dition prevails in Mexico today.
Each article brings twice, if paid
for in silver, what it is worth if
paid for in gold. If the quality of
our money becomes debased, and we
have again the two standards, there
may be an increase in the price of
farm products measured by the
lower standard; but whatever ap-
parent benefit may be obtained by
this would be Immediately offset by
the increase of the things bought,
which would be measured by the
same standard.
The law of compensation would
operate here as everywhere, and
whatever temporary gain there
might be in it would be offset by
the ultimate loss. 1t is always quail
ity and not quantity that is wanted.
1t is quality and not quantity that
is the first prerequisite. Every
farmer understands this in his own
business. 1t is not the quantity of
butter that he makes, but the quail
ity that determines the value. 1t
is not the quantity of his stock,
but the quality of it that determines
it's value. A smaller quantity of
barley that will grade number one
is more valuable than a larger guam
tity of that grading number three.
The benefit the farmer gets from
improving the quality of his prod
ucts ought to teach him that the
same is true Of money.

QUALITY. NOT QUANTITY,

William NJ. Springer, chairman of
the banking and currency committee
of the house, contributes to the cur
rent North American an article in
it's syposium on ''The Financial Mud
die" in which that gentleman at
tacks the fallacy that the prices of
commodities are dependent on the
quantity of the currency, which is
really the underlying motive which
induces so many farmers to support
free coinage. They have been told
and believe that if the volume of
money is doubled 1t will double the
price of commodities. For this rea-
son they demand the free access of
silver to the minis, so that the large
increase Of currency resulting would
increase the price of their product
proportionally.
AS Mr.. Springer says, "this heresy
has produced more perplexity and
confusion than all the other finan-
cial heresies which have ever been
advanced" He does not meet it by
argument or theory, but by fact.
The president of the Bimetallic
League of the United States ap-
peared before his committee, and
made the broad statement that
prices depend upon the proportion
OF the volume of money in the coun-
try as compared with commodities"
He was asked why there was no
such difference in the price of COM
mod1tles in France and England, as
should be were his theory correct,
as in France the per capita circula-
ton is $42. and in England $1S. He
answered that "the circulation is
supplemented by bank credits, which
also affect prices, and that when
bank credits are taken into consid-
GRAFTON in the two countries the cur
rency in each of those countries is
about the same
But Mr.. Springer goes on to dem
onstrate that even this is not the
fact, although it is necessary to
maintain their theory" Adding to
the $lS per capita circulation of gold.
silver and paper money in 1890 in
England the circulation of banking
capital, the right Of issue and de-
posts in banks amounting to s12O.
1t makes an aggregate Of $13S. In
France, on the other hand, with a per
capita circulation Of gold, paper and
silver of $42, the per capita banking
capital, right of issue and deposits
in all banks was $35, making an ag-
gregate per capita of SIT. If, then.
the theory of these so-called bimetal-
lists is correct, .'the prices in Eng

NEW YORK, March THE North
German Lloyd steamship Havel,
Capt. Jungst, from Bremen Feb.
rs, and Southampton the 9th, while
entering the harbor this morning,
ran aground on the north side of
Gedney channel. There were 1S5
cabin and 271 Storage passengers on
the Havel. The steamboat George
Starr and another side-Wheel steam
er took off some of the passengers
during the afternoon. One of the
officers said the Havel lay in a very
bad position, heading north-north-
east with her bows towards Rock
away. At low water her bow below
the water mark showed ten feet of
water, and her stern propeller was
half out of the water. At 4:3O this
afternoon, when it was high water.
the tugs repeatedly pulled on the
stranded steamer, but their united
efforts, with the assistance Of the
steamers engines, did not succeed
In getting her off. At p. m. a dis

the position of the vessel was I'M

sengers on the Havel are twelve

that the Ramsey county delegation
in the legislature is report
ed to have held a harmonious
meeting, and agreed upon a line
of action which may result in some
legislation favorable to the business
interests Of the county and city.
That politics has largely overshad-
owed business in the work of the
delegation up to date is all too
plain, and the prospect of cessation
of political hostilities and the forma-
ton of some business plans will be
hailed with delight by all who are in
terested in the material welfare of
the city. 1t is not probable that
much will be accomplished in the
direction of active measures. but
the delegation can accomplish a
