The silver question and the POOR.


The peculiar danger in the campaign
upon which we are entering is said to BIZ
that the poorer classes Of the population
may combine to elect Boy Orator Bryan
under the impression that he IS theil
champion against the expressions of thl
rich. This is what Bryan claims to be-
This is what the Altgeld-Tillman com.
bination claim. This is what 4 good many
lily believe. The question Is
a majority Of the voters can be
believe it.
American workingman has consid-
khie education and still more common
Tense. Can he be made to believe that
I there is any benefit to him in the debase-
ment Of the money in which he is paid?
Can he be made think that there is any
profit or advantage for him in a Govern
mental policy which has for its avowed
object the despoilment of the rich, the
throwing overheard of the foreign com
merce of the nation, the rejection of all
Foreign capital, the unsettling of credit,
: the cessation Of enterprise? If the cleo
ton were to be tomorrow there might be
some little danger, for votes might be
cast unthinkingly. But there are four
good months in which to thresh the issues
out, and we hope much from the thought
and study of that period. If there is to
be a silver victory, it must certainly be
the fault of the gold men, who have the
truth in their keeping. and whose duty
it is to SOW it broadcast through the land.
not among the members of the reform
Clubs and other fanciful organizations;
u right down among the people them
selves.
There are a few questions which ought
to be printed in big letters and posted up
over the dead walls so that they will be
constantly before the peoples minds, such
as these:-
How are you to profit if you are paid
In dollars worth only fifty cents?
Which viii buy more-one dollar worth a
hundred cents. or two dollars worth fifty
cents each?
Where will the advantage come in of
having your wages doubled, If everything
you buy IS doubled in price?
If capital is brought down off its perch.
as the B%ryanites propose, who is to give
the ~workingman employment?
If the rich are made poor. who is to
buy the products of the poor mans
labor?
Whom does the poor man I've on any
way2
II our foreign relations are upset. who
Is TO buy American wheat?
And American oats2
And American beef?
And American cotton?
And If Europe continues to buy them.
how are we to be benefited by receiving
payment for them in the cheap silver of
Europe. which we are bound by our own
act to receive at double it's true value?
How is the poor man, farmer. trader or
-workingman to profit by precipitating a
panic2.
How does any one profit by a panic ex-
cept such Wall Street brokers' as happen
TO be on the right side Of the market.

TWENTY-FIVE CENTS FORA WiFE

Ensign, or Hike CuIIiford, a tea
drummer. was married in Butler, near
Wolcott, n. Y, recently to Miss
Esteiia Clark. this being his second
marriage About eighteen months
ago he was married toa woman named
Granger. but speedily sold her TO a
man named Daratt for - cents. The
bargain was regularly carried into exc
cution, and so far as is known is
the only release that he ever OBJ
tanned from the woman.
Soon after the second marriage,
which was celebrated by neighbors
with an Old fashioned charivari.
CuIliford went off of tie road and in
his absence his wife's mother learned
more OF him than she had previously
known. When lie returned, two nights
later. she refused to let him in. He
wept, walled and cried like child all
night long. The mother continued
obdurate till morning, when she dis
covered that the cold rain had frozen
his clothing fast TO the horse block, SO
that he could not stir
This moved her to pity, and she
seized the teakettle, melted him loose
and put him to bed. When he RECEIVERS
from the exposure it is expected that
she will give him his walking papers
permanently.

One thing was certain. l must find

Dora had gone to, but he could not tell

as she pleased.
A week passed, several days of which

1 strolled round to DR.. Rudgwick's to
learn whether his daughter had written,
when l saw an empty cab standing at the
door.
Miss Dora has just arrived, sir. I'll
tell her you are here"
l stepped into the drawing room and
waited. In few minutes l heard the
dear girl running down the stairs. My
heart Ieaped with joy.

her little hand i'll mine and looking in

bring her back to health and strength.
Most women do not understand their own
bodies. or the things that make them well
or sick. The most frequent cause of sick
ness in women is the cause last looked for.
A women will go to a doctor when she has
a severe cold or some acute digestive dis
tu-JafCe but she heSitatcs and pTocTaSti-
mates when the trouble is with the distinctly
feminine organism. And yet the latter is
infinitely more serious. 1t is the most seri-
Gus sickness that any woman can have. 1t
is the most dreadful the most dangerous.
Its consequences are always serious, and
serious right al the beginning because 1t IS
facilitating. 1t saps the life and strength
and works on the nerves to such an extent
that the whole body is disturbed. Appetite
leaves the color goes from the face and
hollows sink into the checks. 1rritabil1ty
succeeds good temper and trettuiness takes
the place of contentment. Little by little
life becomes more and more miserable.
The woman is killing herself with neglect
lust as surely as if she were taking deadly
poison. Perhaps her husband cannot per
suade her to go to her doctor. because she
naturally breads the inevitable examina-
tious and "local treatments. - He can per-
suade her, If she needs persuasion, to take

HAVE YOU NEURALGIA
Something About That Maddening Ill That
Flesh Is Heir To.

Though it may appear strange to us
who think we are familiar with the
commons forms of neuralgia, or nerve
pain, such as toothache, headache and
the like, it is not easy always to say
whether the pain we are suffering be
really Il neuralgia pure and simple.
lii point of fact, neuralgia is Il name
for condition rather than a disease,
and only implies that in the course Of
the nerve in question there is pain that
is not caused by any disease of the parts
supplied by that nerve or of the nerve
itself.
The causes of neuralgia, then, are to
be found in conditions outside of the
trouble itself. For instance, there may
be a tuIuur pressing upon the nerve and
continually irritating it. In the same
way foreign bodies, such as bullets, may
set up Il persistent neuralgia. Ends Of
nerves, by becoming involved III tie
contraction Of d scar, may become suffi
GENTLY compressed to give rise to un-
beatable pain. Sometimes veins that
are near nerves, or follow their course
through long, bony canals, become sufli-
GENTLY distended to irritate the nerve.
Or there may be poison in the blood,
like malaria, arsenic or lead which, by
lowering the general vitality of the
body, contributes to general nerve
weakness and irritahility.
In large proportion of cases the real
cause of neuralgia is SO general as to lie
quite obscure. The exciting cause-or
occasion-of a single attack of neural
gia is usually getting chilled or over
exercising the part subject to the com
plant.
As many of us know by experience,
the course Of an attack Of neuralgia Is
extremely varied. The pain may be con-
tinuous, remittent or intermittent, tenn
porary or persistent, located at one spot
or ditTused over large area, and may
be shooting, aching on burning in char
acter.
BY way of treatment we may use To-
cally any good liniment, blistering, hot
lamentations or electricity. Iron and
guinine are Of the greatest value inter-
nally, especially where the system is
run down or there is a lnalarial faint
in the blood. Antirheumatics must, Of
course, lie resorted to in cases of rheu
matte origin. In these latter cases there
is nothing like absolute rest and regular
and nourishing diet.
Morphine Oh other opiates should be
used but sparingly Ill neuralgia, and
never in cases of debility or old age
