BACKACHE.


Few people have suffered more from pain
IN the back than Mrs. Lille B. Newell az
No. 23l8 Second Avenue, New York City.
For several years she was 30 afflicted with
this distressing malady that she was hardly
able to get around, and could do little to
care for her children which made her suffer-
ing all the harder to bear. Her husband.
Charles Newell, who is well-known New
YORK optlcian, tried in every way to find q
remedy for his wife, but no medicine
seemed to have the power to remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, sister of Mrs. Newell, is a
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness Mrs.
newell was away on visit when reporter
called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives
at No. 4l6 East One-hundred and-twentieth
Street, told the story of her sisters re-
covery.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newell's
condition became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, in short time, re-
heved the Woman's pain as no other medi-
cine has done "After awhile" Mrs. Glynn
told the reporter, 1--WE learned that themedi-
cine the physician was giving my sister was

how excellent remedy these pills were,
Mrs. Newell bought some at a drug store
and continued taking them. The effect was
most gratifying, for in six months my sister
was perfectly well and the pain in her back
was nothing more than an unpleasant MEM

MRS. LEASE says we have not
money enough. That is a failing
which bothers all of US, Mary, at all
times. But it won't be remedied by
making more money. What is want,
ed is the chance to earn more. Light
the fires in our factories and work
shops, let the dinner pail brigade
again start upon it's journey and the
money will come out of it's hiding
place and work also. It is not work
at the minis that is wanted, so much
as work in the industries throughout
the land. But free coinage of silver
of itself will never give that work.
That can only be obtained through
laws which give adequate protection
to our markets for all our own pro.
ducts. Free silver will not do that,
and Bryan and his clique are against
any such protection and favor a still
lower tariff, and will do what they
can to secure it if elected.

TOM WATSON ON BRYAN.

A few days before the st. Louis
convention, Tom Watson, who was
nominated by the St, Louis wing of
Popocracy, wrote the following over
his initials to the Atlanta Journal, in
which he paid his respects to Bryan:
If they could not give US free silver when the
party was united on it, how can they give it to
Us now when the party is divided on it?
When the Democrats at Chicago hooted at
the idea of naming Teller as their candidate,
they proved that they thought of party and pie
counter first, and principle next
They came into our party to get our princi-
pies, why couldn't they take seat and ST.
awhile?
If our principles are so good, what's the mat
ter with our company?
Is it the genteel thing to come boiling into
our cabin, snatch our chairs, benches and beds,
carry them away to their house, and then in
vite us to step over and help them luxuriate on
our furniture?
If they happen along while we are bathing
and steal our clothes, isn't it little tough that
they should ask us to come naked into court,
and make oath that the buds are theirs?
Dressing Billy Bryan up in Populist raiment
makes Billy an attractive figure to our admir-
ing gaze; but, as long as he remains mixed in
with the scrub sheep of the Democratic flock;
we are much inclined to say to him, in the
language of the ancient ancedote, I'VE have
you, Billy, but d-n your company" I. E. w.
OF course when Mr.. Watson penned
tho ahoya lines he did NOT eynact TO
become Bryan's running mate, and as
yet he has not given to the public any
apology for the manner in which he
alluded to his present chief, but he
may do so before he allows Bryan to
kick him out of the Popocratic bed.

THE editor of Farm Implements has
been looking into the prison Irvine in
dustry at Saltwater, and as result
of his inquiries thinks the state should
discontinue it, because it is not &C
complishing what it was established
for, and is proving a loss to the state.
Our neighbor, the Revieoo, in COM
menting upon this says:
In this view of the case the next
legislature should revise the condi-
tions upon which the business is to be
conducted, if it is to be continued, so
as to confine it to the purposes for
which it was designed, or better still,
sell the plant.
We are pleased to note that our
neighbor is getting around to the
same position regarding the conduct
of private business by the state, that
the FREE PRESS has always main
tanned. Of course it's view as to the
Irvine plant is somewhat inconsistent
as to the position it has followed re-
garding municipal lighting plant,
but after a second sober thought it
cannot with any more reason support
paternalistic scheme as to local
matter than it can in state matter.
If the state is running behind in con-
Quoting the Irvine plant when it's Ia
Dor costs it nothing but the matter of
board and clothes, which cost is re-
duced to comparatively small pit
lance, how can a municipality expect
to make success and pay all the way
from s1.5O to $500 per day for the help
it needs to conduct lighting plant:
If paternalistic scheme of the nature
of the Irvine plant cannot be con-
Quoted proftably with the large pa.
tronage which stands at it's hand in
the way of the farmers, there is small
hope for the success of municipal
lighting, and the same obstacles
which conflict with the success of the
former, will as surely block the sue.
cess of the latter, and the sound
reasoning our friend down the street
brings to the Irvine plant as to why it
should be sold, stands unanswerable
as to why municipal lighting enter
prise should not be entered upon by
our city.

The sentiment among Democrats
against supporting boiling Republi-
cans for governor and congress is
growing. A strong feeling exists
among the rank and file that few
leaders are combined to ignore old
party workers, and give all the cleo
tive offices to new converts in return
for soft jobs by way of appointment.
These old line Democrats, many OF
whom live in Mankato, say they pre-.
fer to vote for straight out Republi.
can rather than for one who has been
lifelong member of that party up to
within twenty days. Republican sue

DIR. ARENDT, who stands at the
head of the movement for bimetal-
lism in Europe, in an interview with
the New York World, says that if
the silverites should win in the cleo
tion this fall, and flushed with it's
victory should proceed to coin un-
limited quantities of silver at the old
ratio without any kind of interna-
tional arrangement, it will, it is true
bring about temporary rise in the
price ofsilver, but that will be follow
ed with depression severer than any
yet known. The economical condi-
tions in America would be disturbed,
gold would be withdrawn and 90 to
strengthen the gold party in Europe,
while the cause of silver would be
seriously discredited." His opinion
is that the cause of real bimetallism
can best be promoted by the election
of Mckinley, and that European BIZ
metallists have the most to fear from
rash experiments from the extreme
silver party in America.

AS MOST our exchanges of the gold bug stamp
are giving what is meant by IL to 1--we here
give what in our estimation, is meant by that
term. 1t simply means that 16 ounces of pure
silver shall have the same debt paying and
purchasing power as one ounce of pure gold
Madison Independent-Press.
And that is what silver has today
under the existing gold standard by
the pledge of the government to keep
the two metals at parity. And 16
ounces of silver will continue to have
the 'same debt-paying and purchas.
ing power as one ounce of pure gold,'
if the Republican party is successful
next November, but if the Popocrats
should happen to win, parity of the
two metals will at once disappear, and
and it will take anywhere from Is to
30 ounces of the white metal to have
the ''same debt-paying and purchas.
ing power as one ounce of gold" This
is not theory but fact governed by
the natural laws of the commercial
world, which no legislative body can
set aside.

Wearing apparel has not increased in

this is because the people are too poor

that the merchants give for not buy

is that the goods are too good and the
people cannot afford to buy them.

ingmen of the United States will

readily see that what they want is an
honest dollar that will buy as much

''If silver is coined in the United
States at the rate of 16 to 1, while the
gold in a gold dollar is worth 100 cents
in any country in the world, and the
silver in silver dollar is only worth
so cents, is it not plain that the ex-
perience of Colombia, and in fact all
South American countries where it
has been tried, will be the experience
of the United States?
"The gold will all leave the coun-
try, and it will require two dollars of
silver to buy one dollars worth of

"The next question is, will the
wages of labor be increased in proper

lar that the laborer receives for his

where an effort has been made to
make a silver dollar equal to a gold

BIMETALL1sM means free coinage of both gold
and silver.-Lake Crystal Union.
The definition of bimetallism says
nothing about free coinage. 1t says
it is that system of coinage which
recognizes both coins of silver and
coins of gold as legal tender to any
amount, or the concurrent use of coins
of two metals as circulating me-
dunn at fixed relative value" 1t
will be noted that this definition,
which is from the Century dictionary,
recognized authority, that nothing
is said as to free coinage, but simply
coinage" Limited coinage only may
fulfill the bill. The meat of the mat
ter is the concurrent use" of the
coins Of two metals. Now there may
be free coinage of both gold and silver,
but that is not guarantee that the
two will circulate concurrently. They
surely will not if they are not of equal
value, unless the pledge of the gov
eminent is behind them. The simple
stamp of the government will not

one dollar in the commercial world,

SILVER is CHEAP
IN Columbia, South America, Says
Minister 1ckinney.

Minister mckinney.
The United States minister to Col
1mbia, S. A, has written letter
which gives an exact picture of the
effect of introducing silver into that
country. The letter is as follows:
"BOGOTA, June II.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WoTld:-As
the money question seems to be the
important question in the present
political contest in the United States,
l thought it might be of interest to
the many readers of the World to
know what effect silver legislation has
had upon the people of Columbia.
Twenty years ago, in 1876 gold and
silver were coined in the minis of
Columbia. both being a legal tender
for all debts, and at that time, owing
to the scarcity of the white metal,
silver was at a premium over gold of
about per cent.
about 1880 gold was at premium,
because the imports exceeded the ex-
ports, and as the balance had to be
paid in gold it required small pre-
MUM to get the gold for the purpose.
Up to 1885 the government continued
to coin gold and silver, and at that
time gold was at premium over
silver of about 20 per cent.
''In 1885 congress passed law that
made paper money legal tender for
all debts, the paper to be payable in
gold or silver at the option of the gov
eminent; this being an attempt to
make silver at par with gold.
"This was an impossibility, for at
once the gold all went out of the
country, and the government was on
silver basis in spite of it's efforts by
legislation to keep gold and silver at
a parity. From that time to this
there has been no gold in circulation
in Columbia.
''The effects of this was to raise the
premium on gold from 20 per cent in
1000 TO l9O per cent IN 1879.
SAT the present time June III ex-
change on New York is 14O, the price
of exchange depending wholly upon
the number of drafts upon the market
and the demand for them. AS the
coffee crop is being shipped at this
time, and the merchants for certain
reasons are not importing largely, the
price of exchange is low.
'In the department of Panama pa
per money is not used, silver being
the only medium of circulation, the
result being that silver in the other
departments has entirely gone out of
circulation, rand paper is the only
money used. II one goes to market
IN Botoga and offers silver for his din
ner it is refused. AS exchange is lower
in Panama than in other parts of the
country, SPECTATORS buy all the silver
they can find at a premium of from 5
to 10 per cent, and send it to Panama
and make profit. Now, to show the
effect of this upon the people of Col
umb1a, will give certain facts that
are we'll authenticated.
'In 1885, when gold was at pre-
premium Of 20 per cent, wages of
workingmen on the plains of Bogota
were 40 cents day, and in the hot
country so cents day. At the pres
emit time wages are 80 and 80 cents
