Official Paper of County.
In Effect it Did This.

Had the congress of the Uaited
States in 1878, instead of demonetiz-
ing silver. increased the measures OF
capacity, extension and weight so as
to make every pound consist OF ~, in
stead of 16 ounces; every gallon con-
sist of instead of quarts, every
bushel consist of GA instead of 81
quarts, public Indignation would
have driven every member of that
body into obscurity and disgrace.
But without the enactment of such a
law that congress has effectually
doubled the ounces in the pound,
and the quarts in bushel, by in
creasing the purchasing power of
money, as it would have done by
such law.
The dollar will now buy twice as
many pounds of meat, twice as many
bushels of grain, twice as many days
of labor as it would before the de-
monetization of silver
When this act was accomplished
the products of labor in every field
of industry was a much per capita as
they are to-day, and their price in
our own, and in the markets of the
world was double what it is to-day
The price of labor was double what
it is now, and beside the laborer
had constant employment with
prompt payment, enabling him to be-
come large and profitable consumer
of the articles his labor had produced
Now because of enforced idleness the
very articles which he needs remain
unsold on the shelves of the manu-
facturer or of the retail merchant.
In the United States it is estimated
by competent authority that there
are now three millions of able bodied
meu out of employment and sub
sisting upon scanty food, and poorly
clad. This means that the country is
sustaining the loss of more than 3d.
100000 per day from this source alone,
and the manufacturers and farmers
of the country are missing the profit
able sale of their fabrics and products
to this class, which, under a correct
money system that would give them
employment, would be profitable con-
sumers. The gold standard with the
commercial price of silver bullion has
enabled the silver using countries to
import silver ore, and coined into
their currency, it has stimulated their
Industries of every kind, to such an
extent as to make them formidable
competitors with our own people in
the fields of manufactures and agri-
culture. The free use of our silver
coined into rupees in India into yens
(dollars) in Japan has stimulated
their manufactures and their agricul-
ture SO that labor is constantly en-
ployed at more remunerative wages
than ever before, enabling not only
both of these countries, but even
poor despised China to compete with
our own Industries along nearly all
lines not only in the markets of the
world but at our very doors. In Mex
leo even the people are enjoying a
degree of prosperity entirely I'M
known to the people of the United
States, and the entire money of that
country is despised silver, What sill
yer has done and is doing for these
countries it will do for our own peo-
pie whenever it is restored to its place
in the money of the country.

men. Many Spanish volunteers have
taken the field with them. In the east
ern part of the island over 1000 Spanish
soldiers have deserted to the Cubans.
"Since then there has been a reorgani-
zation and Maceo and Gomez were about
to unite their forces again. They now
have an army of about %, 900 men in the
central provinces. The Cubans have
throughout the island about 10000
armed men and about 600 partially
armed. OF the armed men about one
third are cavalry, who have plenty of
good horses. The Spanish mounted in
fantry are no match for them. Many of
the Spaniards are not able to ride, and
when they charge they cling with both
their hands to the pommels of their sad-
dies and do not control their horses.
"Since General Weyler took control,
the Spaniards have done nothing. They
have great many flying columns in the
fed, but they are always at the rear
guard, following along, and never by
any chance coming in contact with the
vanguard. That is the reason that Ma
Geo was able to pass from the province
of Pinar del Rio to the province of Ha-
vana without firing shot, though the
Spanish army marched through the
region. I was in the ten years war,
and saw the Spaniards fghtlike demons.
Now there change. They seem to
have no heart for their work. They
fight weakly, and do not seem to care
how the battle may go.
"The Spaniards appear very much de-
moralized, both on account of the move
ments of the Cubans and the action of
the American Congress. The resolu-
t1ons passed by the house and senate
have given much Joy to the Cuban lead
ers.
CT had no trouble in getting away
from Cuba. In fact, there were many
facilities. 1 lett the islands at point
not far from Havana. The whole in
terror of the Island, with the exception
of few harbors held by the Spaniards,
is practically under the control of the
insurgents"
Colonel Perez was wounded IN Jan
uary at CAIRO, where the Spaniards en-
gagged The troops of General Maceo, and
killed four men. Colonel Perez was
shot in the neck and was in the hospital
several weeks. He left the island a
week ago.

THE BEST
PRING MEDICINE


is SIMMONS LIVER REGULAToR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body inVigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

Regards Cuban Resolutions
as Mischief-Breeders.
THIRD CLAUSE OBJECTIONABLE
cit Sounds Like Threat, but 1T is
Buncombe''- Makes
Another Speech.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-After an
hour consumed in clearing away routine
matters the Cuban resolutions were laid
before the senate, and Hill was recog-
nized.
He pointed out that this being con-
ference report the resolutions could not
be amended. He would therefore vote
against the report, in order that at some
subsequent time the amendments might
be made. The senator particularly OBJ
jected to the third clause of the resolu-
tions, stating that the United States had
not interviewed in the struggles between
any Europeon governments and their
colonies, but owing to the proximity of
Cuba the United States should be pre-
pared to intervene. This he declared
ambiguous. We had intervened and re-
cognized countries which had been
colonies of Spain. What the resolutions
sought to convey was a threat to inter-
vene. To this extent the resolution was
unnecessary. 1t was subject to doubt
full construction and mischief breeder,
liable to compromise the United States.
The phrase the United States should be
prepared to protect the legitimate in
terests of our citizens by Intervention,
sounded like threat, but it was bum
combe.
''If this resolution means we should
: increase our army, let us say so frankly
and frame a bill for that purpose" said
Hill. "If it means we should increase
our navy let us state it frankly and fear
lessly and frame bill to that end. Let
US not indulge in idle boasts and threats
and doubtful phrases as to being pre-
pared to protect legimate interests by
Intervention"
At 2 o'clock there was contest for
precedence between the Cuban resolu-
tions and the Dupont election case,
while Sherman addressed the senate in
support of the Cuban resolutions.
Sherman discussed at length the char
acter of the insurrection and the condi-
tions existing in Cuba. 1t was not best.
he said, to send joint resolution to tke
president, as that would compel him to
act in five days, and this was not judi.
cious. He had confidence in the presi-
dent. There were political differences
between them bnt, he added, ''No one
doubts his courage; no one doubts his
fidelity to the flag of our country"
Sherman referred to Gen. Wevler as a
butcher, and said the conditions in Gu
ba were fragrant. If war does not exist
in Cuba, he asked, where on earth does
it exist2
Speaking of the demand for facts, he
said Senator Lodge had obtained from
Secretary Olney ample facts to justify
the resolutions, but for obvious reasons
could not be made public.
At the conclusion of his speech the
DUPONT case was taken up, and Rritch-
ard addressed the oenate in favor of seat
ing Dupont.
