What History Proves.

To those of our readers who believe
that the republican party did a great,
and good act in resuming specie pay
ments we submit the following bit of
history taken from Sir Archibald Alli-
sons History of Europe:
The suspension of specie payments
by the Bank of England in 1897 led to
the use of an enormous amount of ir-
redeemable paper money.
The result was magical.
1t terminated in a blaze of glory and
flood of prosperity which has never
before, since the beginning of the
world, descended upon any nation.
Prosperity universal and unheard of.
pervaded every department of the en-
pire
Agriculture, manufactures and COM
merce increased in unparalleled ratio.
The landed proprietors were in afflu-
ence.
Wealth to an unheard of extent was
created among the farmers.
Our exports, imports and tonnage
more than doubled, and the condition of
the people was one of extraordinary
prosperity.
From 1897 to 1919 no financial en-
barrassments of any moment were ex-
perienced, and in vain Napoleon waited
for the stoppage of England's financial
resources.
But the. resumption of specie pay
ments in 1S19-the change of the
financial system from legal tender
paper to metal money-was ruinous to
all the Industries Of England. The
distress became insufferable, and In
Manchester $4,000 men, women and
children assembled, demanded blood or
bread. and many of the people were
killed and many were wounded by
British troops.
Cannot the reader whe is 35 years
old and upwards turn to American his
tory and recall parallel to the above? !?

Teller said yesterday: my friends
and myself will lend every energy to
bring about Mr.. Bryan's Endorsement

ing to be some opposition. Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina is
leading the opposition. L believe he
is making a mistake. L think he and
his friends will realize this before the
convention, and l am willing to make
this prophecy: Either the Populists
Will lndorse Bryan or they will fail to
make nomination. There is no rea-
son why they should not indorse him,
for the financial plank adopted by
the Chicago convention is all the Pop
ulists can ask for, and the other
planks of the platform are certainly
more than they had any reason to ex-
pect from Democratic convention. !"

FREE TO EVERY MAN
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let up
to the mental suffering day or night,
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respon-
sible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea Of sexual weakness until it was
question whether he had not better take
a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of a combi
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health, but
enlarged his weak emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor. and he now de-
clares that any man who will take
the trouble to send his name and adj
dress may have the method Of this Won
derful treatment free. Now when / say
free mean absolutely without cost, be-
cause 1 want every weakened man to
get the benefit of my experience.
/ am not a philanthropist, nor do 1
pose as an enthusiast, but there are
thousands of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such a remedy as the one that cured
me. Do not try to study out how can
afford to pay the few postage stamps
necessary to mail the information, but
send for it, and learn that there are Il
few things on earth that although they
cost nothing to get they are worth q
fortune to some men and mean a life
time of happiness to most of US. Write
to Thomas Slater, box POI, Kalamazoo,
Mich, and the information will be mail
ed in plain sealed envelope.

A JAW SPLITTING TURN.
Two Black Face Clowns and a Jackass

There was funny show on the bills

the midst of her merriment, while laugh

ditorium and went to the box office, and
after the jackass and his companions
had left the stage request was made

panied by feminine friend, were es-
corted to the receiving hospital at the
city jail. DR.. Bryant was called. and
with a twist of the wrist snapped the
obstreperous jaw back into place in a
jiffy. The patient was overjoyed at
her speedy relief. and broke into pro :

physician, who told the lady that she

ten days, else it might slip out again.

THE OAKLAND SUICIDE
Identified by His Brother Living in Los
Angeles.

OAKLAND, Nov .14.-The unidentified
suicide who took poison October END
in a Seventh-street lodging house, au1
whose body has been lying in the morgue
ever since, has been identified almost
beyond a doubt as a brother of l.. 6.
Strong of 2292 Broadway, Los Angeles.
At the time of the suicide the following
note, written on the margin of q news
paper, was found: Nobody consulted
me about coming into the world; l con-
suit nobody about leaving it,
A copy of this note was printed with
the newspaper accounts of the suicide
and the sentiments expressed appealed
to l.. G. Strong as being characteristic
of his brother. He has written for
more complete description of the Oak
land suicide, but says that he has little
doubt as to its being his brother who
was discharged from an asylum a short
time before his death, and had been
missing ever since.

ITS FIRST MEETING
An Important Conference by the
Venezuelan Commissioners.

Oaths administered to the Mem
bers. Who Adjourn and Call
Upon the President.

washington, Jan. 4-The members
of the Venezuelan commission, Mr..
White alone absent, held an important
conference with Secretary Olney to-
day.
The commissions issued the members
so clearly yet succinctly define the ma
ture of the tasks set for them that
they left little to be said by Secretary
Oiney and the most important feature
of his remarks was the explanation of
the desire of the government that the
commission should regard itself as en-
tirely independent of control in the
pursuance of it's investigation. and as
master of its own procedure at all
times. At the conclusion of the con-
ference the commission retired to the
diplomatic room to hold its first pre-
liminary meeting.
The session lasted about an hour. A
formal statement of the proceedings.
as far as 1t was deemed proper to
make them public, was given as fol-
lows: Justice Brewer was unanimous
ly elected president of the commission
and proceeded to administer to Messrs.
Alvey, Coudert and Gilman the follow
ing oath: Z, Of. do solemnly
swear 1 will support and defend the
America against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that i will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same; that
i take this obligation freely, without
mental reservation or purpose of eva
sion, and that / will well and faith
fully discharge the duties of the office
of a member of the commission to in
vestigate and report upon the location
of the divisional line between the ter
ritory Of the Republic of Venezuela
and that of British Guiana. ETC."
Commissioner Alvey then in turn ad-
ministered the same oath to President
Brewer. 1t was moved and seconded
that the president designate the clerk
to act for the present session of the
commission and Walter Blandford was
appointed. Commissioners Coudert
moved the selection of quarters for the
commission be left to President Brewer
and Commissioner Alvey, which was
agreed to. Commissioner Gilman
moved an inquiry be made as to the
best map showing the physical char
acterisdcs of the country In question.
which should be reduced in convenient
form for use of the commission. This
motion was also agreed to. Commits
sioner Gilman was authorized to make
the inquiry. The commission upon
motion of Commissioner Coudert, adj
journed at 1890 O'Clock to meet next
Saturday at 10 O'Clock, unless the pres
ident shall designate another day
meanwhile The commission, after adj
journment, proceeded to the white
house and paid respects to the presi-
dent.
