Politics are more rampant on
Sunday in our city, than on any
other day. Yesterday the repor-
ter listened to one of Rothschild's
children talk, aud he said: "Give us
gold, away with your silver, We do
not want it, and continuing he
said when we get gold, you would
see the people with spades shoveling
money in banks, like it was rocks.
Our friend did not realize that We
already had gold, and what money
was put in the banks was put there
to stay, and that this state Of af-
fairs would continue as long as our
country maintained gold as a single
standard

Stomach Bitters. Wherever the
great endemics, chills and fever, bill

cake are prevalent, the bitters is
alike the chosen preventive and
remedy. In Mexico, Guatemala, on
the Isthmus of Panama, and in
South America, no less than in the
United States, it has demonstrated
its superlative efficacy, and has re-

medical profession. 1t remedies

ailments, nervousness and debility,

G1adness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper et-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
eli important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
ole. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laXatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
PHYSICIANS, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest nd IS most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

WHAT WE DESIRE.

The free coinage of gold or silver
means that anybody having the
gold or silver, may send it to the
mints and get it coined into stand
ard legal tender money free of cost
except the trihing charge for doing
the work. There is no toll what
ever and the Government makes
no profit from the work. The
Government simply deducts the
cost of making the metal into coin,
this cost amounting to less than
one per cent. Free and unlimited
coinage of gold exists now. A per-
son having a fraction more than one
ounce of gold can send it to the
mint and get $2O gold piece for it,
Uunder existing laws there is nc
free coinage of silver. A person
having silver enough to make a dol
lar cannot send it to the mint and
get back silver dollar for it. The
advocates of the free and un limited
coinage of silver desire that the law
be so changed that silver shall be
coined as freely as gold.
> The people know this is the only
hope for the country to prosper, and
knowing this they will march to the
polls on election day and will depos-
it their votes for no man unless
they believe him in favor of restor-
ing silver to the high, exaulted
place it once occupied and held, un-
til the Republican party demone-
tized it and put it down on the list
as a commodity, We are now called
on to restore it, and, by the eternal,
we can do it, and will do it.

OUR GOLD
Where VIII 1t Go and Why Shouio
1t Go?

If silver will drive our gold out OF the n,,
country, where will it so ana why VIII
it go? If it goes at all it will naturally
go to Europe. When it reaches EUROPE
it must go into some bank on deposit.
IF IL seeks investment it will not only
have TO hire itself out at the ruling rate
of money in European countries, but IL
the supposed amount of gold IN the
United States outside of the treasury
could be gathered from our banks ana
the millions of private homes, say Sooo,-
900 600, this money in any money center
of Europe would flood" that country
with an excess of gold and would lower
the rate of interest. This kind OF in
vestment will not pay. Money does not
produce money till some one is willing
to borrow it and put it into the chan-
nels of trade, farming or manufactures.
The holder of gold in the United States
is the most miserable of men If it is not
earning something. If the excess of sill
yer will reduce it's purchasing power,
will not the excess created by sending
gold to Europe have the same effect
on it's purchasing power? Suppose all
our gold should flow to Europe the day
Mr. Bryan takes the oath Of Office, could
it not be drawn back to America on a
per cent twenty-year bond by the re-
turn steamer? We think so. If prices
of wheat and cotton are raised when
money is pletiful, would not this very
SOiu our SOluUuS lilSIlOS snip W LiS
land enable the English buyer to pay
better prices for our produce and thus
give us large balance of trade?
1t is assumed by the advocates of
gold that when we get to minting sill
yer free we will have no money
which can be used in Europe. We deny
this proposition. but even If 1t were true,
then we will buy nothing from the out
side world except what we can pay for
in produce, and then we would owe no
debt abroad. Would not our inability
to pay for our imports in gold be better
than protective tariff against bringing
foreign gods into our country? If this
thought should once get into the mind
OF the manufacturer, he would at once
vote for Bryan and silver monometal-
lism.
If all our gold should go to Europe, It
would soon make an effort to induce Mr..
Bryan to borrow it back by an issue of
bonds, but in that event the government
will not need gold reserve of $100, ,000,-
600 every few months to keep at par a
few millions of greenbacks, and hence
Mr.. Bryan will not need the gold.
One Of our cotton crops and our sur
plus one year of corn and wheat will
draw from England every dollar Of her
gold A country of such productive
forces as the United States, having an
assessed value of $4,000, ,000, 900 of prop
erty, will always be able to control the
coin Of the world. Our gold would not
flow to Europe, because II silver mono
metallism should become our monetary
policy, the obligations now payable in
gold coin will more than tonsume all the
gold now in the United States

PARITY
An Illustration Of the Situation by
James G. Clark

James q. Clark, the peoples poet, has
written a poetical illustration Of the
cause Of the lack of parity between gold
and silver. The illustration presents
the case in a most forcible way, and
makes it clearly plain why silver it not
on parity with gold.
Brother Jonathan owned a beautiful horse
That moved like a prince on the worlds
Only three and twenty years ago.
And to hostler John did slyly say:

Let me in conclusion offer for contem-
plation the following words of Dean
Church, so remarkably appropriate at
this period of our country's history:
What are all reforms, restorations,
victories of truth, but protests of mi
nority--efforts clogged and incomplete
of the good and brave, just enough in
their own day to stop instant ruin. Good
men work and suffer, and bad man enjoy
their labors and spoil them; a step Is
made in advance-evil rolled backward
and kept in check for awhile, only to re-
turn perhaps the stronger But thus and
thus only is truth passed on, and the
world preserved from utter corruption"
