Free Silver in Philadelphia.


OF course, our producers, where COM
ing into competition with the produc-
ers of silver-using countries, have been
obliged to cut gold prices with the fall
in silver as measured by gold, or rather
the appreciation of gold that has en-
abled their competitors to accept a
smaller gold price. Consequently our
farmers and planters have been i'm
poverished, for they have been obliged
to sell their wheat and cotton, coming
as it does in the European markets
into competition with the wheat and
cotton of Silver-uSing countries, at a
lower and lower price, from year to
year, just as the premium on gold.
measured by silver, has increased, and
our competitors have been enabled to
reduce the gold prices they ask, and
still realize the same price in silver,
which is to them the actual price, for
the cost of production in silver-using
countries has not risen at all with the
depreciation Of silver, as measured by
gold.
Clearly our duty to our people de-
mands that we take away this bounty
from our competitors by opening our
minis to silver, and thus restoring the
parity between gold and silver.-Phila-
delphia American.

A Frank British Admission.

England, as creditor country, must
receive goods of certain value every
wear, or else some Of her debtors must
declare themselves defaulters. Owing
to the decline in the value of raw ma
terials. it is no longer possible for the
world at large to pay its annual debt
in them, and therefore England now
takes a certain proportion of what is
owed her in manufactured articles

Before and After Election.

England will never consent to silver
remonetiza ton, for the reason it is the
great creditor nation of the world.
There is but one way to get the gold
to maintain parity, that is by buying
it, and the only way to buy it is to is
sue bonds. Since 1894 we have in
creased the national debt by $500, OO0.-
600 in the purchase Of gold. This costs
us in interest $10,500,OO0 a year An
other bond issue would have been re-
quired for another S100,O00,O00 before
this. but for the fact that gold specu-
lators got scared as to it's effect on the
elections, and ''patriotically' snapped
their gold for greenbacks, and SO avert
ed the threatened bond issue few
weeks ago After election it will be
different. The Treasury will be load
ed up with gold, and the gold sharks
will recommence their raids for gold
and force another bond issue. The
very greenbacks they received III cx-
change for gold month ago will be
utilized to draw that gold from the
Treasury. What is to prevent? They
are not to be blamed. 1t is their bust
ness. They make money by it, going

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge Of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process OF manulact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
| pleasant TO the taste, and healthtui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of 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.
