Dear Sir In reply to yours of the

dorse all you or others have said or
could ever say about Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic. Two months ago
father who is IS years old, was tricken
down with Bilious Fever, and came
near dying. l began at once with the
Tonic giving him dose every two
hours. called Ill our family doctor
and told him what was doing. lie
said it was the right treatment and adj
vised that / continue 1t. He called
again The next day and saw the effect
of the Tonic and gave nothing himself.
Within week my father was able to
walk about the house.
/ persuaded nm to take second
bottle and under its Use lie has grown
strong. Although IS years old on the
Oath OF last June, he has to- day taken a
horseback ride of six miles unattended.
This is only one Of many remarkable
cures performed by the Tonic that has
come under my personal observation
in the last "a years that I have been
selling the Tonic.
If this remarkable medicine cost IS
bottle and could only be obtained in
London, there would be widespread in
terest manifested In it and vigorous Ell
forts made to obtain it. But the fact
that it sells for so cents bottle and
this returned If you are not pleased with
the medicine, lead many people to
overlook it altogether.
use it in every case in my own fam :
lily and in my own immediate influence.
Don't think that have ever been call
ed on to refund the purchase price of a
single bottle. Had one customer who
came sixteen miles for bottle last
week. Yours very truly,

For the years 1S93-5 Russia's
average export of wheat was 1I2,-
100000 bushels, while India aver
aged 21,7O4,O00 bushels, or about
one fifth as much. The United States,
Russia and Argentine together aver
aged 323,8S7 ,827 bushels, OF almost
fifteen times as much as India, and
yet the Populists would have us
believe that England's coinage of
rupees fixes the price of wheat in
this country.

make. He criticises England's finan-
cial policy severely, and in some re-
spects talks much as Bryan does to.
day about silver being the poor
mans money, etc. The paper is
published in full at page 279, Coin
age Laws of the United States.
The fact is, the committee did not
adopt ''the sensible suggestions of
this silver advocate; the Bankers
Gazette never published the state
ment accredited to it; 5eyd was the
last man i'll London whom English
bondholders would send to America
to influence legislation against silver.
If Seyd was ever employed to infiu-
ence legislation in this country it
certainly was by those interested in
silver coinage At the time it is
claimed Seyd was here. he was in
London, and the Act of 1873 had
become q law.
Had the Populists read this paper
before declaring that It's author was
hired by British gold, they would
have used it as campaign document.

ERNEST SEYD AND THE CRIME.

So many times has the ecrime"
been proven a myth, we supposed
our friends, the Popocrats, would
quit trying to fool us by the old cry.
But they keep at it; each time try
ing to brace up the falsehood with
some new establishment. A few
days ago the Mountaineer again
shouted "Crime of 1882 and
quoted from the San Francisco
Chronicle of August, 1898, as fol-
lows:
Among other things Mr.. Hooper said
Congressional Record, April 9, 1878. p.
2034):
ERNEST Seyd of London, a distin-
guished writer and bullionist, who is
now here and has given great attention
to the subject of mints and coinage.
after examining the first draft of this
bill, made various sensible suggestions,
which the committee adopted and EN-
bodied in this BILL"
The Chronicle says no explanation
was made by Mr.. Hooper why Mr.. Seyd
was before the committee, or how he
came to be in America, and all the in
formation it has of the reason of his
mission to America it gains from the
following, which appeared in the Au-
gust, 1873, number of the Bankers
Gazette:
''In 1872 silver was being demonetized
in France, Germany, England and Hol-
land. a capital of 100000 was raised
and Ernest Seyd of London was sent to
this country with this fund as the agent
of the foreign bond holders and capital
lists to effect the same object, which was
successful"
This is an old lie, many times re-
futed. Ernest Seyd was not in this
country at any lime after 1870; he
was never before the committee; he
did send statement of his views,
which was read before the conn it
tee; he was distinguished English
writer, banker and financier, but he
was then an ardent advocate of free
coinage of silver, and in his paper
called particular attention to the
dropping of the silver dollar from
the coins provided for by this bill,
saying: AS tins new bill presama-
bly, repeals all previous enactmerts,
I suppose that the total abolition of
the silver dollar is contemplated.
America, then, should hesitate to en-
ter upon this course without full
previous Investigation of the i'm
mensely important considerations
appertaining thereto He then in
dicates how the bill should be
changed so as to provide for the sill
yer dollar coinage. His paper is a
very long and able argument for
silver; more learned and able than
any Bryan ever made or ever will

We further remember that neither In
your party platform, nor by any OF
your speakers at that time, was any
reference made to anything but the tar
III as the cause OF the situation. Now,
however. with your Tariff Reform
plans partly executed and their disas-
trous effects in plain sight, you coward
ly turn your back on our former
claims and bring out the new one-that
the situation was, and is, due to there
not being enough money for the peo-
pies u~se-adding. in a recent speech,
the statement that in 1892 many of
your party believed the want OF money
and Of the free coinage of silver to sup
ply 1t was the cause rather than the
tariff. Examining the facts. l am fore
ed to one or more CT the following con-
illusions:
FARMERS CONCLUSIONS.
~ If, in 1892, you believed the want
OF money was wholly the cause of the
situation and prices then existing, as
you now claim, your promises of high
er prices as a result of a reduction of
me tariff were dishonest and could on
ly have been made to deceive.
(2) II you believed it was partly the
eau se you were gull y of fraud in charg-
ing those condi ions wholly to the tar
If and in making such promises on the
basis of a tariff reduction.
go If you honesty believed at the
time that the tariff was the whole
cause. and that a reduction would Sc
cure the advance you guaranteed, the
results show your Ignorance and stu
pidity.
"a If you knew your promises would
not be made good by a tariff reduction,
but were using that argument to secure
political control, YOU were guilty of the
deepest fraud and treachery and play
ing with the peoples interests.
90 II. upon seeing slaughtering
prices. wholesale disaster. constantly
decreasing revenue and rapidly in
creasing government debt accompany
ing and following your Tariff Reform"
action, you failed to instantly emove
the evils by retracting your steps and
restoring the situation existing before,
you show coward!ce and wan of true
regard for the country, and you are too
selfish md unpatr.o ic to be given
charge of the government.
Either Of these conclusions is suffi-
cient to prove you unworthy Of conf
dence, unified to handle any other
public questions and too irresponsible
to occupy any public Office.
