Medical Limitations OF Roentgen's RAYS.

The German DOCTORS maintain that
OF the pathological alterations of the
soft parts only ossifications and calciii-
cations can be rendered visible by Kocnt-
gen rays. while Accommodations OF pus
can be rendered visible only when they
have taken the place Of lost bone tissue.
They have a bright appearance in con-

parts can be penetrated by the rays more
deeply than the bones, but not more
than seventeen centimetreS. The photo
graphs permit only limited diagnotic con-
illusions, and seldom reveal anything
new TO the practiced eye Of the doctor.
The replacement OF the bone tissue by
soft llmeless tissue is the symptom which
more than any other can be utilized in
diagnosing tumor Of the soft parts; but.

Mr.. Cunningham, president and
manager of the company, says he and
nearly all his employees have been life
long Republicans, but they are all for
Bryan and free silver now. Mr.. Cum
ningham said the above notice had been
posted because the company fully be-
lievd that under free coinage in
creased business would Justify in
creased wages.
President Cunningham, who is a
practical molder then went on to show
how molders' wages prior to 1873 were
so per cent. higher than they were to-
day; how, after silver was demonetized.
there was a gradual decline until the
passage of the Bland-Allison act in
1878, which revived the west increased
demand for molders' products and re-
suited in increased wages.
Business depression six years later
caused another decline. In his opinion
nothing will restore permanent pros
perity but the restoration Of silver. In
concluding Mr.. Cunningham remarked:
do you know of any factories offer
ing increased wages II Mckinley Is
elected? don't"
Not only has no factory offered an
increase of wages II Mckinley is elect
ed, but in the very nature Of things
there must follow a general reduction
of wages in that event The inevitable
effect Of the gold standard is to force
all prices down, the prices OF wages as
we'll as the prices of everything else,
and labor must suffer more and more
as long as our present financial system

Sherman law, which added $50 900, 900
to our volume OF money, was repealed.
Neither do they Gust before the cleo
tion) demand the retirement of the
$346,000,000 United States greenbacks,
which would reduce our volume of
money to that extent. Not any of these
facts do they tell you at this time be-
cause they fear that you may get on to
the system they propose establishing TO
enslave you In the event of their being
successful in November.
If this outfit of labor oppressors ever
made one prediction which came true,
some slight credence might be placed
In statement from them at this crit
ical time.
Let us see. Were they right when,
through their secretary of the treasury.
John Sherman, they exacted of Presi-
dent Hayes a veto of the Bland-Allison
bill? BY which bill was added over
$S70,0o0,000 to our currency and to
which they now point with SO much
pride as part of our volume.
Were they right in 1893, when they
exacted OF the executive and their con-
gressmen the repeal of the Sherman
law? Do you recall how they enlisted
every banker, broker manufacturer,
corporation attorney, board of trade
and chamber of commerce in the coun-
try to Join in the demand for the re-
peal, stating that IL done prosperity
would Immediately follow?
They, as we'll as every financial stu
dent In the country, knew they were
lying then as they are lying now, and
that instead of prosperity their policy
has been and will continue to be misery
and starvation for the masses.
They now have the audacity to again
demand that you follow them, and
again are calling to their aid all the
bankers, brokers, manufacturers, high
priced ministers, Union generals (who
advocate in their reports more soldiers
to better enable the masters to intim-
idate and coerce), boards of trade, for
eign-owned newspapers, corporation
attorneys and all other influences to
force us to a continuance of the serf-
creating single gold standard.
The question for you to decide Is,
will you follow their advice and plunge
headlong into poverty and serfdom, to
national bankruptcy and ruin, to loss
of suffrage and loss of manhood? Or
will stand in the full strength of Amer
lean manhood and by the bravery of
your ballot strike a blow for the restor-
alton of constitutional coinage and the
emancipation of the American toiler
from the shaclkles of monopolies and
trusts?
That your reply will be yes" to this
latter proposition I have not the slight
est doubt. Yours respectfully,
JOHN M'BRIDE.

logical and convincing manner he dis
cussed the issues of the day without ut

opponents.i True, he quoted from Major
McKinley's speeches of many years ago
and compared them to his uttersnces
now. This off course placed the Major
in very embarrassing position but to use
his own words, "when a public man
makes public utterance, that public ut

fault with this, for nobody more than
himself, has INDUCED in this kind of

HIS IMMORTAL WORDS.

Patrick Henry was not by birth or
education one of Virginia's aristocracy.
He had no landed estate. He was emf
nently poor man. He was one Of the
"plain people," He was not in uni
versity sense an educated man. Unsuc.
cessful in various business ventures, he
was reader of books and a student of
affairs and finally became an advocate,
a lawyer, and in that profession found
his rightful place in the list of patriots
of his time, and, with the stride of a
giant, became the peer of Washington,
Hancock, Adams, Quincy and Lee, and
by his fearless courage and unequaled
eloquence called the American nation
to arms in the defense of liberty and in
dependence.
On one occasion, when the perils of
his country were being discussed, when
the shadows Of coming events spread

out dark and appalling from Massachu'
setts to Georgia, when the choice was
between fight or fight, liberty or slav-
cry, British subjugation or American
independence, Patrick Henry grasped,
with prescient genius, cause and effect,
the periis and the sacrifices involved,
and, accepting them all with courage

and with hope and faith ,ahame, uttered

FARMERS, THINK THIS OVER.

The farmer who is in debt does his
family great injustice if he votes to
preserve the present gold standard. He
owes duty to his family. Every farm.
er ought to leave an inheritance to his
children, but if he is in debt and the
gold standard continues, his estate will
be swallowed up by debt and interest
and his children, when he is gone, will
be turned out to work as tenants. Scarce
money never helped man out of debt.
If the single gold standard does not
make money scarce, how would you pro
ceed to makeit scarce? The supply of
gold is limited and the demand great.
That makes it high priced. Does the
farmer want high priced dollar to pay
his debts? If he loves extortion and
financial slavery the higher priced the
dollar the better. If he loves honesty
and fair play he will vote for gold and
silver so that he can pay his debts in the
money of the contract. Farmer, think
this over.
