Napoleon,s Last ofaoial Ac,.

Next day Napoleon performed his last
official act, which was one of great cour-
age both physical and moral The nation
al guard in Paris had been reorganized,
but it's officers had never been thoroughly
loyal to the empire, many of them being
royalists and some radical republicans
Their disaffection had been heightened by
recent events, but they were nevertheless
summoned to the Tuileries; the risk was
doubled by the fact that they came armed.
Drawn up in the great chamber known az
that of the marshals, they stood expectant;
the great doors were thrown open, and
there entered the emperor, accompanied
only by his consort and their child in the
arms of his governess, Mma de Montes-
quieu. Napoleon announced simply that
be was about to put himself at the head Of
his army, hoping, by the aid Of God and
the valor OF his troops, to drive the enemy
beyond the frontiers There was Silence.

LOOKING AHEAD Golden Medical
Discovery. II doesn't work miracles /;
but it does what other medicine can't do
and what doctors say can't be done-un-
til they see it done night under their noses
it cures consumption always to
say that would be an exaggerstion, but
in large majority of cases ; in advanced
cases which have been given up as hope
less.
The Discovery is not called con-
suinption-cure il is a blood-maker. II
gives energy to the blood-making organs
to create new blood, full of healthy red
corpuscles. This rapid supply OF pure,
rich, red blood drives out all diseases that
have their roots in the blood: Consump-
ton is one of these scrofula, malaria,
eczema, erysipelas catauh-are others.
1t is absurd to doctor them separately as
lung, or skin, or head diseases. They
must be driven out Of the blood. You
can rely on the Golden Medical Dis
covery" to do this every time.
It is not patent medicine. II is the
perfected result Of 80 years, practical ex-
perience by one of the most skillful ply
sicians and eminent medical authorities

reduce prices in the exact proportion Of
the increase, for increased demand
comes in and very frequently offsets
all the gain in production. For con-
venience's sake will state in the brief
est possible form what silverites believe
on this subject. We maintain;
1. That there is not enough gold in
the world and cannot be enough pro-
duced to maintain the present level of
prices If monometallism prevails. there
must be still further shrinkage. /
dare not conjecture how far it will go,
but l am certain that it will not stop
short of 40 cent wheat and cent cotton
and other things in proportion. Gold
will then be far more "honest money"
than now, for it will buy much more.
You see how neat and complete this
honest money argument is and how it
rapidly grows stronger as prices o.
down, for, if q dollar which will buy Q
bushels of wheat and 1s pounds of COT
ton is more honest than dollar which
will buy / bushel Of wheat and 8
pounds of cotton, then dollar which
will buy 4 bushels of wheat or 80
pounds of cotton will be twice as HON
est as the one we. now have.
2. That there is not enough Of both
gold and silver to restore the prices of
1903 or Of 1903.
Real Gold Basis
8. That in consequence of the much
greater increase of population and pro-
duction than of the metals, if there had
been no characterization, both gold and
silver would have gained greatly in val
ne since 1878. The villainy of mono
metallism lies in the fact that all the
gain has been concentrated in gold. By
way Of general conclusion, believe that
monometallism for the world is impos-
sible, and that Europe only maintains
it on the condition that other nations do

deceptive as a measure of the obliga-

creditor. Thus Professor Jevuns esti-
mates that the value Of gold fell between
1889 and 1909 46 per cent and from
1809 to 1849 it rose las per cent"
When Gold Was Cheap.
It is point we'll worth noting, how
ever, that in the seven or eight years
1649-56-that gold, according to the
best authorities, lost 25 per cent of its
value, the world accommodated itself
very easily to the change The only
outcry was from the holders Of fixed in
debtedness, and they wanted to demone-
tie gold because it was too cheap. We
heard very little about that in this
country and the masses of our people
did not even know it, because we had

not to take into the account the number
