we go 10 a silver basis, or how We are to
avoid the lapse to that basis II we adopt
free and unlimited coinage at 10 to /
when the commercial ratio between The
metals is about twice that?
49, And if you tell us, as many free
coinage advocates do, that free coinage
will raise the commercial value of silver
to the coinage rate, will you explain to
us how in that case free coinage is to
make money cheaper or easier to get,
how is it to relieve 'debtor class" how
is it to increase the price of wheat or any
other commodity?
IA. You may be aware that there was
last year on deposit in the savings banks
of this state alone s643, S73,5H. This
enormous sum belonged to 1,615,l7S de-
positors, giving an average to each of
s39S.63. 1t represents mainly the small
savings OF the thrifty poor. Nearly all
OF it has been deposited since the present
standard OF value was adopted by the
government. DO you think it fair or just
to impair by AZ per cent, or even by per
cent, the value OF money in which these
deposits were earned and in which to-day
they would be paid.
Is. There are in this state SS,719 pen
sioners. They drew from the govern
ment last year nearly ga 100000 Con-
sidering he nature OF this debt OF honor
when justly due-can you look with
favor upon any policy that nigh result
in paying them in a deprecated cur
rency?
16. There are in the country 5,s3S build
ing and loan associations, OF which AIS are
in New York. These associations have
1,75, 725 shsreholders-all OF the working
and saving classes. Their assets last year
were $50, 667, 59i, represented chiefly by
mortgage loans to home seekers, OF whom
455, 600 are members OF the associations.
These associations have nearly all been
organized within the last Is years under
the existing money standard. Can you
think it fair or beneficial to the working
people to reduce by AZ per cent, or any
lesser sum, the value of these investments
OF the thrifty poor9
II. Is it not a fact worth consideration

STANDARD that the thlrty-hlhe old-s1Sle

81 have used several bottles of Paine's
celery compound for nervous trouble, re-
sulting from overwork, and with immediate
effect as well as permanent benefit. 1t is
the best nerve tonic that have ever tried.
1t has also been used in my family with
great benefit"
Tired-out, half-sick men and women need
something more than a mere rest. They
need positive, unmistakable nerve food !;
they must have a reserve of nerve force to
draw from, before their heads will cease TO
ache and their nerves cease to tremble with
neuralgia.
1t is estimated that there are over ten
million nerve fibres in the body.
SO long as these minute tissues are kept
fully nourished one lives in blissful igno-
rance of any such thing as neuralgia, head
aches, or even nervous system, but let
one become rundown and the nutrition
of the body get low, and every one Of these
myriad fibres becomes live wire " within
the flesh Headaches, neuralgia, rheuma-
| tism and other forms of nervousness and de-
bility result directly from famished ner-
vous system.
Pane's celery compound is able to cor.
rect this faulty condition. 1t builds up the
nervous system and sustains it. The brain
at once feels the strengthening effects of
this superb nutriment. There are thou

SANDS of men and women to-day who have
been enabled to keep vigorously at work,
who must have given up but for Paine's
celery compound.
Nervous affections are warning to busy
people.
AT the earliest sign Of reduced nerve force,
inability to sleep. languor, or a gloomy
habit of mind, everyone should look imme-
diately TO the nutrition of their nervous
system and to the purity of their blood
Paine's celery compound will attend to both
of these urgent needs more thoroughly and
more speedily than anything else in the
world. Paines celery compound is not to
be confounded with the common prepare
tons, the s6rsaparillas and nervines. Being
the discovery of a man of science, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps. NJ d, LID, of Dart
mouth College, it has the support of the
best physicians; they prescribe it univer-
sally; and the many sick persons made well
by it's use proves that that support is
merited.
To the great majority of business men a
vacation, to say nothing of three months of
complete inactivity, is out of the question
at this season, even when their brains de-
mand a complete rest and their nerves ache
and threaten them with prostraton. Now
there are hundreds of business men and
hard worked professional men in this city
in Just this condition. What are they to do?
Those who are tire d-out, " rundown and
debilitated at this trying season will do well
to read some of the straightforward and
convincing statements from the men and
women who have been cured by Paine's
celery compound
Nervous weakness vanishes before Paine's
lelery compound as mist before the strong,
health-giving rays of the sun. Convince
yourself of the fact al once, If your health
is at all impaired.
