Your Worst Enemy Writing

With the rheumatism is an individual
whom, if you have Christian spirit,
you would forgive. He is, no matter
what his delinquencies, punished
enough. Nothing short of Tophet
could enhance his misery. Moreover,
he is in serious peril. The disease is
always prone to attack his heat and
kill him instanter. As means of
curing this disease, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has the highest reputation
and the most authoritative profession
al sanction. It's use in the prelimin-
airy stage of the complaint is the wis
est precautionary measure rheumatic
invalids can possibly adopt. The
Bitters is also remedy of the greatest
utility in malarial and kidney trouble,
dyspepsia and liver complaint, consti-
patton and nervousness. 1t counter
acts the effects of hardship and expos
ure in damp or inclement weather,
and is capital promoter of appetite
and sleep. Give this fine remedy the
persistent trial to which all medicines
of standard reputation are entitled.

Gold and Silver Over the Wire.
Gold.-Hello, Silver.
Silver. Hello, Gold.

old.-Hello, Silver.
Silver. Hello, Gold.
G.-How's your campaign coming
on?
S.-Highly satisfactory so far.
.G.-What states do you concede to
me?
Swell, you may have few of the
New England states and Wall street.
eff the people learn that I'm all
the money they need l may carry
enough to elect the Ohio Major
S.-The people will never find that
out. Everybody knows you are not
volume enough for the great multi
tude OF people who need money.
G.-Well, won't my bulk increase
as the miners dig me out of the earth?
S.-My dear sir, don't you know
there are no great producing gold
mines to-day as there were a few years
ago in California. Don't you know
that your production in 1853 was 1855
million dollars and in 1890 you had
gone down to los million?
G.-That's a fact don't like to ad-
nit, but it's true.
S.-Again on the other hand the
number of people who use money are
constantly increasing.
CT don't know much about fig
ures. How long does = it take the
United States to double her popula-
ton?
S.-About 81 years. Don't you see
if there be $40 per capita to-day, in
"a years there will be only IS unless
the money volume keeps pace with the
population?
G.-That is very plausible argu-
ment | admit, but the government
can issue bonds and get all the gold
it wants.
S.-Heayens and earth! Don't talk
about bonded Indebtedness to the peo-
pie or you won't carry single state
in the union. The people are sick OF
debt now and If they continue under
your standard they must eventually
go to the wall.
G.-This nation is too great and
rich to talk that way. Lincoln said
we could soon be the treasury OF the
world.
81 was money when Lincoln said
that. What do you think he would
say if he was living now when we have
to issue bonds to maintain our credit?
Oh my, don't talk of those great
statesmen who never dreamed our
American people would demonetize
one-half their primary money and thus
bankrupt the greatest nation on earth.
G. Go himself)-Well, well, seem
to get the worst of it every time.
Goodbye, Silver.
S.-Goodbye.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurahlc.

constitutional disease, and therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.

The Only Part Of the Country that Will
Not Go for Bryan-Says a Promi-
nent Connecticut Manufacturer.

MIDDLETowN, Ohio, Aug. 31.-F.
w. Wbittlesey, wealthy tissue pa
per manufacturer OF Hartford, Conn,
who has relatives in this city, is now
here on visit. Mr.. Whittlesey is a
Republican and strong Mckinley
man, but in an interview to-day he
gave voice to some startling free sill
yer facts. When asked about the
condition of affairs as he saw it, he
replied: II have. Travelled extensively
of late, and | have taken occasion to
observe the growth Of the free silver
sentiment, and | want to say to you
that if the election were to take place
tomorrow Bryan and Sewall would
carry every state in the Union outside
New England. ! never saw anything

nal change of sentiment before No.

If free coinage means fifty cent
dollar and the working man will be
hurt more by it than any other class,
why is it, that every corporation is
opposed to it? Mark Hanna, the
worst foe organized labor ever had, is
too philanthropic to want to pay his
laborers in so cent dollars. Andrew
Carnegie is so benevolent that he is
working heart and soul to prevent the
laborers forcing him to pay them so
cent dollars. This specious plea of
disinterested benevolence on the part
of the money sharks and monopolists
is about the thinnest of all thin things
in this campaign.

A MExICAN's SILVER VIEW.
One Who Has Had Experience Talks
on the Subject Now Agitating the
American People.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Aug. 29.-
Vinton p. Stafford, superintendent Of
the Mexican Northern railroad, with
headquarters at Escalon, Mexico, who
is visiting relatives in this city. in an
interview yesterday said: ~ am a
Republican in politics, but if / were
now resident of the United States
would support Bryan and Sewall and
vote for the restoration Of silver. We
can buy just as much with silver dol
lar in Mexico as we ever did. When
the Mexican dollar was worth dollar
in gold we could buy a bushel Of wheat
with it, and in the United States that
same dollar, which Is now worth SO
cents in gold, Will buy bushel of
wheat. | have been in Mexico six
years, and can get just as much coffee,
sugar, etc, for 81 now as | could six
years ago. The fact is, | believe that
the American gold dollar is worth
more in this country, and not that the
silver dollar has deprecated.
prices in Mexico are still up to the
standard they were 30 years ago, but
the Mexican dollar buys just as much
as it did then. / believe that If the
United States had not gone to the
gold standard wheat would still be
selling for 81 a bushel. The purchas-
ing power of the Mexican dollar has
remained the same. The United Stat
es dollar has remained the same. The
United States dollar has been forced
up. A common laborer in Mexico gets
from 80 cents to $3.50 per day; meehan-
les, $3.50 to $l75 month; engineers,
5000 to $3.50; conductors, $3.50; clerks
and stenographers, 500 to S175, and
mine carpenters, 81 to IS day.
These wages are paid on the railroads
and In the mines, Of which | have a
personal knowledge. Flour sells at IS
barrel, as it did when went to Mex
leo.
"These prices. remember are in
Mexican dollars. l have seen it stated
that Santa Fe road section hands
in.the United States are paid 81 a day
in American money, equal in value to
agold dollar, while Mexican section
hands were paid dollar worth only
81 cents. That is true, but it must
be remembered that the Mexican sec
ton hand is worth only half as much
as the sturdy American laborer. /

A Rash Act.

Major Ewing Price, the Cuban lect-
urer, who delivered an epilogue at the
opera house last Saturday night in
lieu of an expected lecture, and re,
turned the admission fee to the small
crowd of people who were interested
in Cuban freedom enough to 60 and
hear him, did haSty act the follow
ing day in his desperation, that came
near landing him behind the walls Of
the penitentiary.
When he came to settle with Man
ager Black he was without ready
money, He represented that he had
money on deposit in the Bank of Com
merCe at Wichita and rendered Mr..
Black check for SlS in payment of
the opera house and other incidental
expenses, receiving 81 50 in change, He
left the city and Mr.. Black forwarded
the check to Wichita Cor payment.
1t came back, the bank sending word
that no such man had any money on
deposit with them. Mr.. Black put
the matter in the hands of the county
attorney and Price was located at
Newton, where he was to deliver a
lecture this week. The sheriff of
Harvey county put him under al
rest. Price explained that his father
had money on deposit at the bank in
question, and said that he had told
his father to deposit SIS in his name
to cover the amount of the check he
gave to Mr., Black. This fact was
verified, and upon Mr.. Black learning
that Prices father had afterward
appeared at the bank for that pur.
pose, he decided to let the matter
drop upon the payment Of all costs by
Prices father, which was agreed
upon.
There is law in Kansas making a
felony the giving of cheek on a
bank where no money is on deposit,
aud Mr.. Price owes to Mr.. Blacks
compassion for him his liberty.

avenue joint and commenced to shoot
craps. For awhile he had things
coming his way, and made six straight
passes. HaStie, who runs the gam

commission on his winnings. Chuck
objected to this and HaStie ordered
him out of the rooms, but he became
reconciled and staid in the game until
he had become broke, when he start.

and has served notice upon the friends
of silver that they must expect a war
of determination. We must accept

intelligence to merely vote their likes
or dislikes of Arkansas CT Iowa.
| desire to call your attention to the
fact that the silver sentiment proved
strongest on November Sd 10 the West
and South, where the M Oney question
had been most th0rOughlydiScussed in
recent years. An equally thorough
discussion 10 all States west of the
AlleghenieS ought to bring to US that
whole region.
For the purpose of assisting in
uniting the friends of silverand in ex-
tending this discussion, the Free
Silver Clubs of Kansas are invited to
send delegates to meet at Topeka at
10 a. m, January u, 1897, in Hamilton
