In conversation with gentleman In
this city, who has followed the grocery
business for fifteen years, he said, in
speaking of the money question
"Those who are opposed to the free
coinage of silver and more money,
argue that the volume of money has no
effect upon the prosperity of the people;
they admit the dollar is harder to get,
but contend that it will buy double the
amount of goods. l want to tell you it
is mistaken idea. can pass along my
shelves and point out a great many
staple articles that are practically the
same price as they were when wheat
was bringing a dollar bushel. The
reason" he said, sis plain enough to
me; the railroads can and do hold up
freight charges, and the big trusts die
tate prices on nearly If not all staple
goods, and the retail grocer must of
course sell accordingly" Concluding,
he said, II am in favor of more money,
and l don't care what it is made of, so
it has Uncle Sans guarantee back Of
it."-Mo. World.

SClATIC RHEUMATISM AND ITS.
CURE,

From the Gazette, Burlington, Iowa.
The story Of Mr.. Tabor's nearly fatal
attack of sciatic rheumatism Is familiar
to his large circle of acquaintance, but
for the benefit of others and those SIM
ilarly afflicted The Gazette has investi-
gated the matter for publication. Mr.
Tabor Is Secretary and Treasurer for
the Commercial Printing Company,
with offices in the Hedge Block, and re-
sides at AIT Basset Street. Burlington,
Iowa. A Gazette man sought an inter-
view with Mr. Tabor at his place Of
business to-day, and although he was
busily engaged with imperative duties,
he talked freely and feelingly on the
subject of his recent severe sickness and
subsequent wonderful cure.
YES" said Mr. Tabor, IT can safely
say that l am well man, that is, my
old trouble with rheumatism has en-
tirely disappeared, but l am still taking
Pink Pills and will keep on taking them
as long as 1 continue to grow stronger
and healthier, as have been every day
since 1 began to use them. You will not
wonder at my profound faith In the
merits of Pink pills after you have
heard what I have to tell you. About
one year ago 1 was stricken suddenly
with sciatic rheumatism and was con-
fined to my bed. 1t grew worse and
rapidly assumed the form Of infiamma-
tory rheumatism. I suffered constant
and acute pains and all the tortures
which that horrible disease is capable Of
inflicting. At length under the constant
care of local physician I was enabled
to return to my work. but only at inter-
walls. Severe attacks would appear reg
ularly in my back and descend into my
leg and foot, and threatened to make me
permanent cripple. 1 tried various
remedies for rheumatism, but without
any beneficial results. grew pale.weak
and haggard, and my family grew
alarmed at my condition.
about eight weeks ago my mother
induced me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and you know the
result. Before j had used one box felt
greatly relieved and much stronger.
continued their use and improved rapid
ly. l have now taken eight boxes and
feel like a new man and completely
cured
In reply to inquiries Mr.. Henry, the
druggist, stated that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills were having a large sale, that 1t
was particularly gratifying to him to
know that the customers themselves
were highly pleased with the benefits
they had derived from their use; that
many of them stated that the pills were
the only medium that had done them
any good; that they not only gave
them quick relief but permanent bene-
fit. That the pills do sell and that the
pills do cure is a certainty.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in q
condensed form, all the elements nee
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes only at so
cents a box or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y.

Further experience in India tends tt

Further experience in India tends to
establish the value Of Professor Half
kine's inoculations against cholera. DR..
Simpson, health officer of Calcutta, re-
ports one instance in which fatal
case of cholera led to the incubation,
two days afterward Of eleven of the
eighteen remaining members Of the
household, and in second outbreak Of
the disease these eleven escaped,
while four Of the seven uninoculated
were attacked, three fatally After an
outbreak in another locality 116 per-
sons were inoculated out of about 200
in the district This was followed by
ten cases-seven fatal-of cholera and
choleratic diarrhoea, not one occurring
among the inoculated persons. The
discomfort of the inoculations is stated
to be milder and Of shorter duration
than that of vaccination against small
pox. For complete protection, inocula-
ton with a mild vaccine should be fol-
lowed after five days by the use Of a
stronger vaccine. The operations are
always harmless.

"Old Bill Vosburg, the green-goods
man who swindled Anton Cimfel, a
farmer of Clarkson, Neb., out of $500,
was allowed to go free in New York
the other day because the court thought
he was no worse criminal than the
sucker who bit. Recorder Golf said he
thought the legislature should make a
law declaring the farmers who came
on to buy green goods should be prose-
cuted as felons. He had no sympathy
for them. They were greater criminals
than Vosburg, because he was but fleec-
ing thieves, or men willing to be
thieves, and as great swindlers at heart
as the prisoner. Farmers who seek the
purchase Of counterfeit money do so
with the intention of working it off on
innocent people and swindling them
out of good money or property. If the
law should take them in hand they
would lose less money to sharpers.

The Arkansas Kicker is among the
latest list of Corners to the Populist

about 1900 Populist papers in the coun-

The kind of work that is accom-.
plished by live editors in live commu-
mites, that really appreciate valuable
and loyal service, is well illustrated In
the following in the Buffalo Times with
regard to Benjamin S. Dean Of the
jamestown IN. " Morning News:
During his stay in Jamestown Mr..
Dean has accomplished many reforms.
He fought the old water company to a
finish, although he was made defend
ant in a criminal libel action before it
was fairly settled that the company
should furnish the citizens an abun-
dant supply Of pure water. His earnest
advocacy of municipal ownership Of
essential monopolies led to the con-
struction of a municipal electric-light-
ing plant, which has already saved the
city several thousands of dollars. He
acclaimed against the giving away Of
valuable franchises with such earnest
ness and vigor that the jamestown
Street Railway company, on changing
its motive power, entered into con-
tract with the city to pay percentage
on the gross earnings Of the road"

former exploits how she has let Cripple

The following letter and questions
were recently addressed to Judge X. b.
Saunders, of Bolton, Texas. The judge
has been one of the old line democrats,
and the questions were propounded to
him by some of his old time friends:
Sparta, Bell Co., Tex.
Hon. X. B. Saunders, Esq, Bolton, Tex:
Dear Sir: Relying upon your frank
ness, intelligence, integrity and patriot
ism and on our long acquaintance with
you, and further, knowing you to be a
plain man of the people, take the lib
erty to ask your view on the following
questions:
1. Are you monometallist or bimet-
allist? Are you in favor OF our nation
establishing the ratio Of 16 of silver to
/ of gold, and undertaking to maintain
1t without reference to action on the
part of England or any other country?
2. Do you believe that majority OF
the democratic party in Texas and the
United States is in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the old ratio of IL
to 1, and If so, do you believe that this
majority in spite of the influences of
the money power, backed by the presi-
dent, John Sherman and eastern lead
ers of the so-called democratic and re-
publican parties, will be able to have
their will expressed in the national
platform?
3. Is 1t your opinion that the present
method, principles and practices OF the
president and his co-workers are in ac-
cord with the time-honored principles
of democracy, and if not, are they in
accord with any existing party? If so,
which one?
4. Upon a calm and impartial sur.
vey of the present political field which
one of the parties is the one, in your
opinion, that nearly accords with the
democratic party as organized and
maintained by Jefferson, Madison and
Jackson, and what is the duty of the
citizen under the present political con-
dition of parties and the country?
5. Do you consider the present con-
dition of things as menacing any great
evil to our government and country?
If SO, how and why? Your early
answer will oblige
Your friends,

and too often when he has left his fam
tiers may seem unimportant and insig-
nificant to the casual observer, but they
as surely mark the corruption Of the
hour, the decadence Of simple, honest
patriotism; the political, moral and So
cial drifting Of the office-holding class
from the we'll defined landmarks of a
glorious national past, as the light fol-
lows the rising of the sun. The people
of our great nation can never be too dis
trustful of any innovation, however
small, upon the wholesome rules and
checks thrown around our institutions,
or guard with too great diligence the
inestimable privileges bequeathed to us
by those grand old masters who stoc d
at the cradle of our government.
The liberties of a people are never
subverted at once, and the principles Of
free government are only changed by
successive insidious steps. The limo va
ton of today is too apt to become The
precedent of tomorrow, and one by one
the fundamental props Of the systeIosare
stolen away until at last the whole Sys-
tenn tumbles into ruins. l sincerely be-
lieve that If Mr.. Cleveland is ever nom
mated for president in violation, as it
will be, of a settled American principle,
he will be the candidate of the COM
bned republican and democratic mo-
to1I ;ctc thas, &c
greatest of all present questions is
identical.
And | further believe the success Of
that combination would be absolutely
ruinous to the best interests of the
country, if it did not result in the
destruction of our systere of free gov
eminent. Then let the thoughtful,
earnest men of all parties unite with
the great party of the people and pre-
sent an unbroken front against this
combination of money changers and
sweep them from our great political
temple, which they have so long made a
house of merchandise. You have the
power if you but will it.
You have a weapon that comes down
as still
AS the snowflake that falls upon the
sod;
That executes a freeman's will,
AS lightning does the will of God
A weapon from which neither bolts nor
locks
Can shield the traitor,
The unbought ballot in the ballot box"
Unite and you can scatter your politi-
cal enemies like autumnal leaves.
Justice may sleep, but never dies; the
cause of the people may have been de-
layed by their apathy and want of con-
cert, but the hour of triumph will sure
ly come. The finger of destiny is point
ing to it as surely as the needle to the
pole. The cup of political iniquity of
those who would make us bond slaves
of a foreign and native moneyed aris-
tocracy is full, and when that hour of
triumph shall come. when their shields
and lances are broken, and under the
purer regime of the people our coun-
try shall be restored to it's ancient way
of national prosperity and permanent
glory
"Then shall the press the peoples rights
maintain,
Unawed by influence and unbribed by
gain;
Here patriot Truth it's sacred precepts
draw,
Pledged to Religion, Liberty and Law"
Very respectfully,
X. B. SAUNDERS.

The railroad companies don't want
the government to build railroads for
its own use, but have bribed legislation
to have the government to build the
roads and then turn it over to the cor
porations. But this is not paternalism.
A parent would not give all the good
things to one or two children, but di-
vide them among all the children. After
all, what is government ownership but
the children going into partnership to
build roads for themselves?
