From a letter written by Rev. ] Gun

mitted to make this extract: II have no
hesitation in recommending DR.. Kings
New Discovery, as the results were al
most marvellous in the case OF my wife.
While I was pastor OF the Baptist
church at RIves Junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms OF
coughing would last hours with little
interruption. and 1T seemed as II sh,
could not survive them. A friend

The article in today's issue on the
Importance to the Pacific coast states
of the early completion OF the Nicara-
qua canal. written by Hon. William L.
Merry. of San Francisco, and first pub
lished in the Commercial News, will
repay a reading. Mr.. Merry omits one
important reference in his admirable
article, which should be brought to the
attention Of every Pacific coast voter;
namely, the fact that the Republican
national platform declares unequivocal-
Iy for the completion Of the canal,
and demands its construction under the
auspices Of this government. The Dem
oeratic platform. on the contrary,
makes no mention whatever Of the
canal, nor has DIR. Cleveland at any
time during his present term Of Office
thought the canal worthy Of considera-
ton or recommendation. AS Mr.. Mer-
~ says, the completion Of this great
medium of communication between the
Western and Eastern sides of the con-
tinenet is of more Importance than
even the money issue, and this one
difference between the two parties
ought Of itself to settle the question
Of allegiance of voters West Of the
Rocky Mountains. With McKinley's
election it is safe to say this is one
Of the first public question which will
receive the attention Of congress.

One American dollar is now ex-
ehangeable in Mexico for two Mexican
silver dollars. although there is more
silver in the Mexican than in the
American dollar. Under unlimited
coinage the American dollar would be
exchangeable for only one Mexican
dollar. No one who owned two Next
can dollars would give them up for one
American dollar. because he could
take them or send them to the United
States mint and not only have them
coined into American dollars, but also
have a few cents worth Of silver given
back. Free and unlimited coinage Of
silver means the depreciation Of Amer
lean currency to the 5O-cent level Of
Mexican money and the depression OF
American labor to the level Of Mexican
eona

Some Of the effects Of free coinage in
a South American republic have been
pointed out in a published communi-
cation by the United States minister to
Colombia, Mr.. Mckinney. who says
that twenty years ago, in 1876, gold
and silver were coined in the minis Of
Colombia, both being legal tender for
all debts, and at that time, owing 10
the scarcity Of the white metal, silver
was at a premium over gold Of about
3 per cent. About 1880 gold was at a
premium, because the imports exceeded
the exports. Up TO 1885 the govern
ment continued to coin gold and silver,
and at that time gold was at a pre-
MUM over silver Of about 20 per cent.
In 1885 the congress passed a law that
made paper money a legal tender for
all debts, the paper to be payable in
gold or silver, at the option Of the gov
eminent, this being an attempt to put
silver at d par with gold. At once the
gold all went out of the country, and
the government was on a silver basis
in spite Of its effort by Legislation to
keep gold and silver at a parity. From
that time to this, it appears, there has
been no gold in circulation in Colombia.
The effect Of this was to raise the pre-
MUM on gold from 20 per cent in 1885
to 1870 per cent in 1895. At the date Of
the communication, July II, exchange
on New York was 40, the price Of eX-
change depending wholly on the num-
Der Of drafts on the market and the
demand for them.

Sometimes the most careful women
are the most careless. Many a woman
bundles herself up to keep out sickness
when she is neglecting the very worst
sickness that can come to a woman.
She allows a slight disorder to become
worse. to slowly sap her vitality. The
little pain and the other slight indica-
tions Of trouble seem to her unimport-
ant. She goes on with increasing suf-
fering. until life itself becomes a drag.
Nervousness, sinking SPELLS" digest

plications may arise from the derange-

over thirty years ago, the need for a
reliable remedy for so-called female
complaints was recognized by DR.. r.
V. Pierce, then, as now, chief consult
ing physician TO the Worlds Dispens-
airy and Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo,

rite Prescription, the most wonderfully
