The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, COM
munity Of simple, honest God fearing men
and women, have prepared the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial for many years, and it is al
ways the same, simple, honest, curative med
icine tnat has helped to make the Shakers
the healthy, long-lved people that they are.
The Shakers never have indigestion. This
is partly owing to their simple mode Of life,
partly to the wonderful properties of Shaker
Digestive Cordial Indigestion is caused by
the stomach glands not supplying enough
digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cordial
supplies what's wanting Shaker Digestive
Cordial invigorates the stomach aud all its
elande so that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence Of the honesty Of Shaker
Digestive Cordial, the formula is printed ON

INC Cola Standard and Progress.

Since we went upon the gold standard
our labor has been so well paid and has
become so intelligent that we lead all
other nations in skill.

States raises as much grain as three in

Shall we reward him by cutting his
wages in two?

There is nothing more certain than
the fact that dollar worth only half as
much as the present one would only buy
half as much of the necessaries of life,
but it would probably continue to pay
for the same amount of work that dol
lar now procures. And would not that
be practically a reduction of wages9--

Will Mr.. Bryan or any of those who
are prominent in the silver movement
say that he had never heard Of the re-
duction Of freight rates which is indi-
Gated by this table? The cost of carrying
a bushel of wheat from Chicago to this
city last year was only one-fourth of the
cost in 1872 by lake and rail, and only
a little moro than one-third of the cost
in 1879 by rail for the entire dis
lance. We have published the figures
for the last six years, because they show
that the low rates have been in force
during the years in which the farmers
of the west had great SURPRISES of grain
and provisions to be shipped to the sea
board for export.
Here are some more figures which de-
serve the attention of Mr.. Bryan:

Has any one observed any sympa-

wheat and of silver lately? While the
price of wheat has gone up about 20 per
cent during the last month, the price of
silver has been sagging until it is now
worth only 60 or &c cents per ounce
that is, until the silver in silver dol
lar is worth only 81 cents. If wheat
and, silver don't get together at this
critical period for the white metal, its

all the disreputable notoriety they pos

too. that what is unfit to be performed
by the light of day and before the public
eye, is clearly improper and should be
condemned. But let us see-how many
of us would be willing to run the risks
of our social (and sometimes physically
serenity being overturned and destroy
ed, by a public rehearsal of all our
deeds? We incline to the belief that if
1t came to a standing vote we would all
experience that affection for our seats
which characterizes everyone on certain
occasions. But looking at it in the other
light-that it is not altogether of Md
night blackness-the fact that disguises
were worn, indicates that better be-
ing is underneath-that the unwilling
ness to appear openly on such occasions
is proof of the exception to general
rule, and that rule is that good is the
uppermost and the most powerful factor
in human nature, and especially is this
true of womankind. If our women had
appeared at such a time without these
DISCUSSES we would like to ask what
would be the verdict then.
We all hate hypocrisy, but let us in

The fact that masks were worn on that
Saturday night was because of the dis

a consciousness of the danger, and these
feelings are certainly the direct compile

ment. "The wise man foreseeth the
evil and hideth himself but the simple

arrive at the years of understanding
our social conditions make it necessary
to resort to the mask of hypocrisy, de-
ceit. It permeates every transaction.
