THE ONLY PARTY SAFETY.

1t has been with feelings OF appre-
hension that we have recently read the
expressions of silver democrats and
gold democrats, saying they will not
support nominations for 1896 unless
they are made on certain platforms.
THE DEMOCRAT has not yet felt call
ed upon to fight year ahead OF time
the battle for gold or silver. We feel
called upon the rather to maintain har-
mony in our ranks We deprecate the
harsh expressions and hasty declara-
tons on the part OF the friends OF either
silver or gold We hope to see all that
sort Of thing subsde. On such great
questions men ought to be willing to
concede to others the honesty of conyic
ton that they claim for themselves.
A man can be friend to silver with
out necessarily being fool, and he can
be a friend to gold without necessarily
being a thief.
There are really honest and patriotic
motives, we doubt not, prompting men
on both sides Of this great financial
question. And it is simply foolish to
denounce a man and his opinions be-
cause he does not agree with you on a
question about which the greatest
minds of the age differ.
THE DEMOCRAT says discuss silver
and gold, not from standpoint OF
prejudice, but from standpoint OF in
telligence but let there be no serious
divisions in the Democratic party.
The Richmond Dispatch, a strong
gold standard advocate, copies an arti-
Gle from the Piedmont Varginion
which voices our sentiments which have
already been expressed in these col
umns recently.
Here are few expressions from the
paper which the Dispatch quotes
Whatever differences OF opinion may
exist among the Democrats on the ques-
ton of the currency, there should be no
division in the support of the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency, fol
the country cannot be benefited by the
election of the Republican nominee.
The nomination of a candidate is in
the distant future, and in this coun
try events and possibilities take shape
so suddenly and upset so many calcula
tons that declarations of intention:
and purposes not to follow nomination!
are both unwise and imprudent.
Let all OF either division Of our par
ty do all in their power by discussion
to induce harmony, and let all avoiC
threats, which only encourage division
Free silver would be an evil, in the
opinion of some, but it is not for ont
moment to be compared with the hos
of evils that would follow the return o
the Republican party to power. A d.
vision of the Democratic party, and thu
nomination of two Democrats would
insure the election of a Republican
The emasculated condition of a dis
rupted and divided Democracy would
invite and encourage the Republican
party to re-enact the election-Iaws, AM
restore a protective tariff, and Great,
those conditions which would perpetu
ate that party in the administration O
the government, under which th
soundest currency would not mitigat
the evils which continuously threaten
the South under Republican rule.

Dr. PIERCE'S
 Golden Medical DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eighf per cent of all cases Of Consumption, in all ifs Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura- ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, ill all it's earlier stages, consumption is curable disease. Not every case, but q large per cenfdge of cases, and we believe, fnIir oS pe, eeni. are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as 10 induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ- ing tubercular matterl great loss Of flesh and extreme cancellation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by ' Golden Med ical Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? /? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever i'll inis- representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and adN ised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,'' but who have been forced 10 confess that it surpasses, i'll curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emulsions'' and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed 10 bene- fit, or had only seemed to bene fit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the liypophos phites had also been faithfully tried i'll vain.
 The photographs of large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis. lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred inaladies, have been skillfully reproduced in book of ioo pages which will be mailed to you. on re- ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

The trade winds are the prime motors of ocean currents. They cause surface drift of no great velocity over vast areas of water in the same general direction as that in which they blow. These drifts, after meeting and combining their forces, eventually inn pinge on the land. They are diverted and concentrated and increased in speed. They either pour through pas sages between islands, as in the Car ribean sea; are pressed up by the land, and escape by the only outlets possi- ble, as, for example, the strait of Florida, and form great ocean cur rent like the gulf stream.

Happy Retrospect.

Ministers have quite as many touch ing incidents as funny ones, in their duty of performing the marriage cere- mony for "all sorts and conditions of men" One such is told by clergy man who lived at some distance from the populous part of the town, and who was therefore accustomed to sug gest some conveyance to those couples who did not come in carriage. A middle-aged man and woman, who looked as if life might have been rather hard for them, came one night to be married. The ceremony over, the minister said to them: Now, I'll tell you where to take q car. You know we are long distance from everywherer The man turned to his bride with a look of sudden sweetness. .'Oh, nc" said he, gently, II guess we won't ride.
