With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There Is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi..
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health, Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that 1t is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene'
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists. -,
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sltillful
physicians, but II in need of o laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

HOW THE PEOPLE ARE MISLED.

a friend tells us he had a conversation
with a working man in Richmond recently
regarding the effect of ceasing the COIN
age of silver dollars. and the working man
told him he understood that ceasing to
coin silver dollars meant that the only
money or currency that the country would
have would be gold coins. This man
had, of course, been told this by some
one interested to deceive him; and as he
has been misled about the matter. others
have no doubt been equally misled; so
that a simple statement of the elementary
facts of the case may not be entirely
useless.
We have now about five hundred mil
lions Of dollars OF coined silver in our
money system. II we never coined an
other piece of silver, we should still con-
tinue TO have that much. No one pro-
poses TO melt up any one Of those coins.
Further, the single-standard gold men
propose to continue TO coin all of the Sill
yer haIf-donars, quarters, dimes, and hall
dimes that the country Will use.
But the bulk OF transactions that are
not conducted by checks and drafts ar
transacted with paper currency. TDose
who oppose the free coinage OF silver 40
moi conducted by checks and drafts, are
naper currency that the banks may issue
.rbcv are TO be left free to issue just
as much paper currency as they care 10
isene II a working man is paid his wages
in good bank paper is he not Just as
well satisfied as If he were paid them
in metallic money?
England Is a single-standard gold coun-
try. and, doing a large part OF all the ousi-
ness of the whole world, she has not
much more than SsO0,OOoOOO of money OF
All kinds. coin and paper together. Let
rs look at the composition OF her money
| system:
| she has of gold coin, about ....N5O'O 100000
| she has of silver coin, about ....sioeVOo'VVV
She has of paper currency.
| about ........... .........''.''''' S-'oVVv'oOV
Now here is single-standard
! gold country that has great
deal of paper currency doing the busi-
| ness Of money along with her
coined money. 1t would be the same
here if we should stop coming silver dol
lars. If the gold in the country was not
| sufficient for the business of the country
il would be supplemented by all the bank
notes that were needed, and thus we
should at all times have as much money
and currency as the people could use.
This is our view about free coinage in
a nutshell. When a man tells us that he
thinks the Government can coin fifty
cents worth OF silver. and by calling 1t a
dollar make il worth one hundred cents
of gold. we think he is either trying TO
rnislead us. or else that he is very
badly misled man himself. When he
tells us that he knows this cannot be
dane. but that he proposes 20 strike an
unlimited number of silver pieces, each
containing fifty cents worth of silver, but
each 10 be called a dollar and TO be made
legal tender for a dollar Of debt and that
he intends by il TO ropudiate one-half OF
all the debt due, We tell him that we un
derstand perfectly well what he is about
hut that we cannot so with him. We don
want 10 make money that way, and we
don't think any people will prosper thai
attempts to make money that way.

knew. and all of their pleading with him
was unavailng.
when Senator blackburn was appealed
10 by this delegation 10 use his influence
20 defeat the repeal OF the law ne told
the delegation very candidly that ne
should accept Senator Germans statement
Of the needs Of the town of Towson IN

ing could be heard against the averment
Of senator as 10 what any part OF the

There are many most suggestive lessons
in this rather extended narrative of facts,
but we have made it to comment upon
this position OF Senator Blackburn. since
it is part we believe. of what senator's
call senatorial courtesy 1t Is OF
course, right that great respect should De
paid to the representations that senator
may make regarding the internal AFFAIRS
Of the state he represents. but when
other senator's attribute to what he says
the infanibiiity that is given TO 1t in the
United States Senate, truth and Justice
may be outraged, the real spirit Of repre-
sentative government is made mockery
OF. and senator's surrender their own
Judgment and impartiality TO n mere GUS
tom that is capable OF being put to the
most mischievous uses. OF course, II the
principle had any real merit in IT, senators
would be bound to accept the representa-
tons OF senator who happened to be

The bottom of this senatorial cour-

| oorrupting idea. IL is a part of the you

as the Senate is concerned, without re-
gard to what may be the true interests
OF a great majority OF the people of
that State. a senator is. of course, TO be

people, but that presumption is not to be
carried TO the length of self-stullitica-

HIGH CIVIC DUTY.

With conscientious care the League has
endeayored to meet what IL believes 10 be
