QUERIES FOR GOLD BUGs.-When
a gold bug tells you that he is opposed
to free coinage because it will benefit
the silver mine owners ask him il
the international bimetalism, which
he is pretending to advocate, will
not have the same effect. Ask him
if he opposes the free coinage of
gold from fear Of benefitting the
gold mine. owner? Ask him if he
would put an end to the growing of
wheat from fear that the man who
owns the land insight make a profit
on the wheat he produces
When he points you to half civ
ilized Mexico and China as silver
standard countries, ask him what he
thinks of the barbarous Turk, the
good-for-notning Egyptian and the
idol-worshipers Of Liberia-all liv-
ing under a gold standard. When
he tells you that gold is the standard
of the great commercial nations like
England, the United Stotes, France
and Germany, ask him how long
these counties have had the gold
standard, how it came to be adopted,
particularly in this country, and
whether they are content with it ?
Ask him to explain why the scientists
and political economists of all Eu-
rope, and even of England, are de-
manding return to the bimetalic
standard as the only hope of proper
solution of the money question.

OUR A1M.--Mr. Carlisle said i'm a
speech in Congress, in 1878:

speech IN Congress, i'm 1873:
1.-The struggle now going on can.
not cease until all the industrial in.
terests of the country are fully and
finally emancipated from the heart.
less domination of syndicates, stock
exchanges, and other great combina.
tons of money grabbers in this
country and in Europe"
Relief from the domination OF
these classes is what the Democratic
party is now working for. Will not
our Republican friends, whose love
for country is greater than love for
party, assist us in the work of
emancipation.

SEN Tan hEASoNS " ID y" ATER
SON WAS FOR SILyER.-First, That
the decentralization of silver, which
has prevailed up to this writing,
both in the United States and
Europe, has had the effect of advan.
cling the value Of gold about 40 pei
cent.
Second, That this has been accom-.
plished by depressing the value OF
all other property to that extent.
Third. That about 40 per cent. OF
the property and producing re.
sources of the people have thus been
transferred to comparatively
small class Of men, whose stock in
trade Is gold investments.
Fourth, That in the exact proper.
ton rs gold has risen the burden of
debt and taxation has increased, and
that in proportion as property and
labor have declined the capacity OF
the people to pay their debts and
taxes has diminished.
Fifth, That the silver discount Is
creating a bonus of more than 80
per cent. in favor of the farm pro.
ducts for India and Asia, which to
that extent cheapens the wheat, cot.
ton and various other productions OF
the United States.
Sixth, That these lamentabie con.
ditions have been produced by anti.
silver legislation.
Seventh, That they can be uudone
and prosperity restored by pro silver
legislation Louisville Courier Jour

TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY OIL
WELLs.-In the new oil fields of
Tennessee and Southern Kentucky
the Standard Oil Company the past
week completed two lsage storage
tanks In the Obey river, 85 miles
west of Rugby Road station, on the
Queen and Crescent Railroad, which
will hold nearly forty thousand bar
rels. Oil lines are laid to the wells
within few miles of the tanks
which include the Bobs bar well,
which opened up the field by max
ing a flow of barrel a minute of
oil worth S1.15 per barrel. The field
has its center at the junction Of Fem
tress, Rickett and Overton counties,
and runs across the Kentucky line
into Wayne county, Tenn, and adj
joining counties. The Standard Oil
Company, operating under the names
of The Forest OIL Company and the
South Penn. Oil Company, leased
500, 900 acres of land and have 200,-
600 in fee. 1t has surveyed pipe
line from this field to the West Vir-
ginia lines.
THE report Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio railway for the year ending
June 80, 1896, which has been sub
mitted by President NJ. E. ingalls,
is most favorable showing. First
of all, the report shows that the
gross earnings of the road have
reached the large aggregate of So,
221 ,131, SUN which has not beer
exceeded save in 1898, when the
worlds fair was in progress a
Chicago, and even in that year the
excess was only about 100000
The careful management which j.
now marked feature of the road j!
shown in the fact that while the re
ceipts have thus increased, the per
centage cooperating expenses is only
one per cent greater than for tn,
last two years, and seven per cent
less than in 1892. The bet earning
were the largest in the history o
the country.

The sick man knocking at the door
of health gets in il he knocks the
right way, and, stays out il he does
not. There are thousands Of ways
OF getting sick, but only one way to
get we'll. Do whatever you will, il
you do not put your digestion in
good order. and make your blood
rich and pure, you will not get we'll.
Rich. pure blood is the only thing
that can bring perfect health. Con-
stipation Is disease of the blood.
A large part Of all diseases are trace
able directly to impurities in :he
blood. and can be cured by elimiuat-
ing them with DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The first thing
it does is to put the whole digestive
system into perfect order. 1t stimu-
lates the appetite. axcites q copious
secretion OF the digestive fluids,
and promotes assimilation. 1t
searches out disease germs wherever
they may be. kills them and forces
them ont of the system. The "Gol-
den Medical Discovery" has been
used with unvarying success for over
thirty years.

ENRICH IS ENRAGED


Galesburg's Defeated Possolice Aspirant
h Dot Of Politics.
The definite announcement by Con-
gresham q. w. Prince of his Dur
pose to appoint his next friend, +.
A. Freer, postmaster at Gales burg.
has sent Henry Enrich, the defeated
leading opposing aspirant. of in high
dungeon. Enrich is the editor Of the
Plaindealer Of that city. is q tireless
politician, aud has been since the
formation of the new Tenth congress
sional district chairman of the re.
publican congressional committee.
But he Is through now. He will not
play in Congressman Princes yard
any more. He is cut of politics. The
Republican-Register tells about the
trouble:
Congressman G. w. Prince gives
authority for the definite announce
ment that he will recommend Frank
A. Freer for the Galesburg post
master the next four years. Who
ever Mr.. Prince recommends is very
likely to be appointed, so that so far
as the postofiice here is concerned,
there will be no further controversy.
1t has been known for several days
that the indications were favorable
to Mr.. Freer. Mr.. Prince further
Gays that regarding the depu ty post
master no decision has Yet been
reached. 1t is not his business to
appoint deputies. He claims that
MIR. Freer has this to do. Mr. Freer
authorizes the statement thst he has
not yet selected q deputy. The ap.
pointment has created q little rue
ton in political circles. NJ .
Williamson, the county clerk, Satur-
day informed Mr.. Prince that he had
not been and would not be csndi-
date. This narrowed the contest
down to Henry Enrich. OF the Plain
dealer. and Mr.. Freer. Mr.. Enrich
feels that the sudden appointment OF
Mr.. Frcer does him an injustice, as
he had been given to understand
that he would be given an opportu-
nifty to present his claims aud had
taken other steps 10 strengthen his
candidacy. As it is, he has had no
chance &c present certain important
letters and other recommend ntions
or properly to put his arguments to
the congressman. Report has it that
Mr.. Enrich from now on is out of
politics. He has been a stsunch
worker for Mr.. Prince and an active
republican, and as q member OF the
congressional committee has done
some excellent service in the district.
The friends OF Mr.. Enrich share his
disappointment with him."
