There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
blood or mucous surfaces of the system.

"A Good Idea.

The suggestion has been made to
the JOURNAL that Council ought to
place tax on hogs kept in the cor
porate limits sufficient to accomplish
one of two good esults prohibit their
keep, or make them II source of con-

The idea is good one.
Consider it, Council.
Make the town healthier, or compel

His Leading Fallacy.

Ills LeautlS TAhttCy.
The Baltimore Sun makes the apt
point against Mr.. Bryan's oracular
speech IN New York that it
all rests upon one wholly improved and
unprovable assumption-that gold, the meas
ure of value, has appreciated in value since
1873. The falsity of this basis of his whole
argument has been thousand times dem
onstrated.
Not only so, but how can "a stand
ard" appreciate or depreciate without
losing its distinction and character as
a standard +?
Can yardstick become heightened,
or bushel measure lcssened at will
and still be standard
Impossible.
Yet for the sake of argument, let us
suppose that standard can be varia-
BILE, would not the value Of the things
measured grow with the increased
length or dimensions of the standard +?
Would not the value of the cloth in a
45-inch yard, or of the wheat in a s.
peck bushel grow with the increase Of
the standard
Hence, if that be admitted, as it
must be, how could the gold standard
go up in value without taking every
thing else up with it I?
And if that be good philosophy,
ought not the converse be true-that
if prices be low it is proof that the
gold standard, instead of rising, has
fallen?
The apparent rise and fall of gold,
however, is not to be measured by
itself, but by something else. For
this purpose the Sun has taken la5or,
and it proves conclusively that it is
not gold but labor that has risen.
And so in comparison with every
thing else.
The value of gold, like underground
temperature, is practically unchange-
able, and in the one case as in the
other the apparent rises and falls are
due wholly to contact pressures, dis
turbances and variations that originate
and take place outside of themselves.

Since 1878 there have been nine epidemics
of dysentery in different parts of the country
in which Chamberlan's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is al
most as severe and dangerous as Asiatic chol-
era. Heretofore the best efforts of the most
