Catarrh starts in the nasal organs
aft citing eyes, ears and threat, and
is in fact, the great enemy of the
mucuos membrane. Neglected colds
in the bead almost always proceed
catarlh, causing an excessive flow OF
mucus, and if the mucous discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results Of catarrh will follow such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, roaring
and buzzing sound in the cars and
oftentimes very offensive discharge.

uNFOUNDED PREJUDICE.
Peculiar Views Held by Many That Banks
Favor Dull Times.


Favor Dull Times.
One of the most surprising features
pf the present cheap money agitation is
the evidence Of Widespread prejudice
against banks. According to the silver
ties and fat money advocates, it would
seem that bank is diabolical institu-
ton which preys ON the farmer and
workingman, while the banker is an
enemy and oppressor Of the people.
These peculiar views are held seriously
by many persons, who oppose sound
currency principles merely because the
bankers are in favor Of them.
1t is hardly necessary in these en-
hghtened days to show that banks are
benefcent institutions, Of as much use
in our present system Of industry and
commerce as factories and stores. Their
chief function is to serve as reservoirs
f0r al tie spare capital # tie country,
which they receive only to loan out
again wherever it can be used to best
advantage. The idea Of the Populists
that banks draw interest from the people
on idle money locked up III bank vaults
is purely delusion. Unless capital is
employed it can earn no interest.
The chief benefit conferred by banks
is their insurance CT credits, through
which much larger volume Of business
of all kinds is transacted than if men
had to trade on cash basis. In this
way banks serve the same useful pur-
pose as fire or life insurance companies
The Populist pretense that bankers
want money scarce so that business will
be depressed is wholly untrue. In dull
times bankers suffer like merchants and
manufacturers. They cannot loan their
funds, while they are nearly always
bound to pay interest on the deposits
loaned to them. Every sensible banker
is anxious for the greatest possible pros
perity. The banker of whom the cheap
money advocates dream and write is al
together creature of their imagination.

We publish today o letter from Rev

who was sent from Georgia to Japan
several years ago.

currency. His letter shows what VIC can
expect should that calamity befall us
A labor leader in Texas a few days
ago advised the workingmen to vote for
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
The rate Of wages in the foremost free
silver nation Of the world will hardly
commend this advice to sensible and in
telligent wage earners in this country.
Mr.. Turner, whose facilities for in
formation are as good as possible and
whose reliability is beyond question,
tells US some interesting things about
wages in Japan. 1t must be remem-
bered that his figures are in japanese
money, which is equivalent TO only 90
cents on the dollar in our currency.
Here are some Of his figures:
Teachers in government schools, $12
to $50 per month.
Postoffico and custom house clerks and
similar government positions, So to $50
per month.
Teachers III high schools, @I5 to $75
per month.
Brick masons, 80 to 60 cents a day.
Carpenters, 45 to So cents a day.
Female operatives in cotton factories,
8 cents a day.
Male operatives, 10 cents day.
Mr.. Turner tells of an expert Japa-
nese workman who with tho aid Of his
wife made celits a day!
The workingncn Of this country are
being informed about what a silver ba-
sis means in regard to wages.

L00z: Out For The '96 Record.

LOO5c ONt FOT xy1c 80 xteCCTO.
It is an old saying that 70 learn
the news one must go away from
home. Hence it did not greatly
surprise us when on the Gogeblc
a week since to learn that nearly
or quite every mine on the Mesa
ba was idle this season; that the
ore on the new range was of an
inferior grade; that the supply
was limited; that our ores had
been condemned by furnacemen
and a thousand and one other
thrusts intended to set well or
otherwise on Mesaba pioneer,
and one who believes it to he the
greatest iron range in existence.
The people of the other ranges
evidently bank too much on their
newspapers; and the wish being
father of the thought, are too
prone to believe aught they hear
belittling their more healthful
competitor. The Mesaba mines
are not all closed; in fact, more
mines are running in the imme-
date vicinity of Virginia than
are in operation on the entire
Gogebic range, and the amount
of ore being shipped would MOI
indicate that our ores were infer
ior, limited or had been black
listed by furnace-men, and The
record for '95 will amply sub
stantiate our statements. Before
giving way to petty rivalry, come
and see us and learn what irol
ore looks like.
