RfOI. James SHeeoihahs ~
New Jersey board Of agriculture. after
reviewing the radical change In barns
and houses since the days OF our fath-
ers. said:
at may be said without fear Of con-
troyersy that $50 feet per COW Is more
than an average allotment. This Is
lust about one-fourth Of the cubic
space Of a sleeping chamber 1ox1ox1o
feet. for an animal weighing four or
Ave times as much rs large man.
'If we assume Mt the outset that this
space allowance, with lack Of ventila-
tion and sunlight, is at the bottom Of
the tuberculous condition, we shall
not be far wrong. It would, and 1t will.
be next to impossible to eradicate tu-
oerculosis as long as our present type
az barn exists. The cattle commission
may kill of every tuberculous animal
In the state before another year, but
II wouldn't be long before our old style
Of barn would raise brand new crop
Of consumptive animals"
In relation to exercise. he said:
Some men, observing diminished
milk yield. after exposing COWS to pro-
longed exercise in cold yard, have
concluded that they are better without
any movement beyond what they get
in their stalls. Persistence in contin-
nous confinement for five or six months
In a year In an ordinary Massachu-
setts barn IS enough to develop dis
ease. An insufficient air supply and n

lead to disaster and ruin. Nature will
not be cheated: she has way Of as
serting herself whenever the princi-
ples Of physiology are violated"

sunlight and made plea for an abund-
ance of 1t for the bathing Of cows in

Trade in Horse Meat-The worst
feature of the meat trade is the fact
that horse flesh is sold fraudulently as
n substitute for beef. 1t is on much the
same plane as the trade in "oleo" and
other butter substitutes. We have no
doubt that the very men who de-
Tended "oleo,' are now badly hurt by
the trade In horse flesh, and are de-

RuasIA MOVES FoRWARD.
A6andons the Deprecated Silver Money
Standard and Adopts Gold.

ANf~AAN+A--Ns
After moro than half n century, eX-
perienco with silver monometallism and
fiat money Russia has adopted the gold
standard.
This has been done in pursuance OF
Russia's determination to press forward
in the march Of the nations.
In 1889 the silver ruble was cstab-
lishcd by imperial decree as the legal
and unalterable metallic unit of the
money current in the Russian empire "
Russia has found that she cannot keep
the pace Of other great nations with a
silver standard and has therefore
changed to the gold standard.
Silver viii still lie freely used in the
Russian currency as it is in the cur
rencv cf all nations which have the gold
standard, and 10000, 900 ounces Of
silver are to be purchased to take the
place Of about one-fourth Of the Russian
paper currency.
The adoption Of the gold standard
will therefore result ia great i'll
provement Of the monetary system Of
that country. Twenty-Five years as3 the
Russian ruble had a purchasing power
of n cents in gold. It has fallen tc
about 20 cents, owing to Che immense
increase i'll the production Of silver and
the general adoption Of the gold stand-
ard by the civilized world.
Russia has acted wisely i'm abandon
ing a deprecated money standard, and
tho adoption Of the gold standard viii
make the empire still more powerful
factor Ia the affairs Of Europe and tic
world. d.-Atluta Journal.

most Tillman would be able to give

the currency caused by q collapse Of

Tho r.,rla VINO Buy rhInss.

There t. ono class Of people IN the
United States which IS specially inter
ested in the agitation for free silver,
with its openly ayowed purpose Of rais-
ing prices twice as high as they are
now. This is the consuming class, COM
posed Of all the people who buy things.
To them the most important question III
regard to the currency is, will ON
money buy few or many things? We
now have an industrial and commercial
system III which wages are paid and
products bought and sold with a cur
rency which rests on gold standard
and has q high purchasing power. If
we were TO adopt the silver standard,
our money would buy only half the
quantity Of goods that it does now.
How would that help Us, the 10000
600 American consumers?
Free coinage politicians who are try
ing to gain votes by setting one class Of
citizens against another would do well
to remember that the largest class IL
this country IS that of the people who
buy goods When they can show those
people that IL IS 70 their interest to pay
higher pric for what they consume,
they may some show Of success.
Until then leir scheme Is doomed TO
failure.

AblaZ0
With ETySipelaS

There is no disease Of the blood
which so completely puzzles the doc
tors as Erysipelas. They admit that
it is blood trouble, but like other such
diseases, they are unable to effect
cure.
1t is not surprising that those who
are afflicted with this distressing dis
ease should suffer such untold agonies.
Like a consuming flame, it covers the
skin with a fiery, burning redness
which is almost unbearable, and only
those who have been so afflicted can
describe its tortures.
Aside from the suffering which Ery-
sipelas causes, there is always great
danger attending the disease, unless
promptly checked. The inflammation
spreads through the tissues of the skin
and, when vital part is attacked, the
result is disastrous. D Often the bones
are affected, and become so diseased
that they crumble away, leaving the
patient an invalid for life.
Here is such case, where the doc
tors we're unable to afford relief, and
strongly urged an operation.
Miss Ada Wainwright is a most esti-
mable young lady, residing at Alamo,
Tenn. After being under the doctors
care constantly for three years and de-
Clared incurable, she saw before her
only the gloomy life of an invalid.
Under date ofMay Sth, 1896 she writes:
"I feel it my duty to inform you of
the great good I have received from
Your remedy, S. S. S., for 1 am sure
that it saved my life. For three years

The DemoeratIo situation.

If the faculty Of seeing facts and the
ability to reason upon them have not de.
parted from the free silver Democrats,
they viii not attempt to commit the ma.
tional convention to their theory.
The facts Of the political situation
briefly are:
Fmst.-That the Democratic party
has been defeated i'll every presidential
election since the war when it leaned
toward financial unsoundness and has
been successful in every contest in which
1t stood for honest money
Second. That it cannot carry sin
gle northern state or one-haf the Dor
der states for free silver and consequent
" would be beaten disastrously III the
election upon that issue.
Third. That it cannot hope to carry
the house Of representatives upon that
issue The majority against free coinage
has increased from IS in the Fifty-sec.
ond congress to 125 in the present house.
There are 10 signs Of gains for silver
anywhere this year.
Fourth. Being unable to elect either
q president or "a house upon this issue,
do its supporters hope to throw the cleo
ton Of president into the house? Il
that case the choice Of the Republican
candidate is absolutely certain.
Conceding that the free silver Demo
Gratis Will be able to write their idea
into the platform, what can it profit
them? What are conventions for if not
to improve the conditions Of success OF
to put the party in the way Of a triumph
in the near futurree Is the free silver fac
all there IS Of Democracy for our friends
at the west and south? "Only common
sense is necessary" to show them the ut
ter futility Of their present course. -
