A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS.
Nervous Troubles End ia 81. Vitus' Dance

from ne Reporter, Somerset, ky.)
Amongst the foot hills OF the Cum
berland Mountains, near the town OF
Flat Rock is the happy home of James
Mcpherron. Four months e thu
daughter of the family, a happy girl Of
sixteen. was stricken with st. Vitus'
dance. The leading physicians wert
consulted but without avail. She
grew pale and thin under the terrible
nervous strain and was fast losing hei
mental powers. In fact the thought
of placing her in an asylum was seri
ously considered. Her case has been
so widely talked about that the report
of her cure was like undermining a
miracle of old. To a reporter who
visited the home the mother said
"Yes, the reports of my daughters
sickness and cure are true as you hear
them. Her afliction grew into st.
Vitus' dance from an aggravated form
of weakness and erovu trouble pc
culiar to her sen. Every source of
help was followed to the end, but it
seemed that physicians and medicine
were powcrless. Day by day she grew
worse until we despaired of her life.
At times she almost went into conyul-
sions. She got 80 that we had to
watch her to keep her from wandering
away and you can imagine the care
she was.
"About this time when our misery
was greatest and all hope had fled, /
read of another case, almost similar,
that had been cured by a medicine
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Almost in desperation | secured some
of the pills and from that day on the
wonderful work of restoration com
menced; the nervousness left, her
cheeks grew bright with the color of
health. she gained flesh and grew
strong both mentally and physically
until TO day she is the very picture of
good health and happiness.
1t is no wonder that | speak in
glowing terms of Pink Pills 10 every
ailing person | meet. They saved my
daughters life. and | am grateful"
The foregoing is but one of many
wonderful cures that have been credit
ed to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. In many cases the re
ported cures have been Investigated by
the leading newspapers and verified
in every possible manner Their fame
has spread to the far ends of ciyiliza-
ton and there is hardly a drug store
in this country or abroad where they
cannot be found.

While the Chicago convention was in
session the Hon. w. J. Bryan tele-
graphed to the Philadelphia Press that
"our people will never declare at the
ballot boxes that they are dependent
upon foreigners for financial system. :"
Perhaps these words mean something
to those who see prosperity for every
body in 16 to free coinage, and perhaps
they are used only to display a sort of
buncombe patriotism with which to at
tract voters
Why doesn't Bryan get up and howl
in Chinese, japanese or in some other
white metal country language that we
will never be dependent upon foreigners
for the very words with which we coin
our ideas into language so that we can
exchange them with others ideas?
Why doesn't he declare against using
the same system of weights and meas
ures used in England and other foreign
countries? Why doesn t he declare our in
dependence of multiplication tables used
in foreign countries? He asks triumph
antly, "Are the American people able
to attend to their own busineSs?" Are
we not also able to make our own arith-
metic? Why do we initiate foreign
countries by using the same multiplira-
ton table for both buyers and sellers?
Let us cut loose from this imported ia
BILE and make our own table in such q
way that when We are sellers the product
Of certain numbers will be at least dou-
BILE the product of the same numbers
when we are buyers.
If there are any votes in this antifor-
eign racket let's work it for all it is
worth.

Increasing Output of Gold,

The continuously increasing produc-
ton of gold is knocking the props from
under the claim of the silverites that
the precious metal is getting SO scarce
that "there isn't enough to go around"
and that the Worlds currency is con-
tracing.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
total output of gold has doubled during
the last ten years the estimates for the
present calendar, given to the public a
few days ago by our mint director, Mr..
Preston, one of the highest authorities
in the world, fixes thetotal so high that
it will be nearly double that of 1890.
Here are some of the totals since 1875
and the estimate for 1896:

TO WHERE WILL GROVER GO

Cleveland was quoted week or
two ago as saying, with great en-
phasis, that "neyer, never would he
vote for Mckinley. Events in his par
ty since then, however, have changed
the situation, and what he said at
that time does not count" now.
Cleveland, Carlisle, Hill, Whitney,
and the majority of the other honest
money Democrats will have to vote
the Republican ticket. ''If the Wing
party disbands where am l to goI"
asked Daniel Webster mournfully
shortly before that party and himself
died. When the party did die the ma
jority of the Wings went into the new
party, the Republican, which had not
appeared when Webster spoke. There
was no other place for them to go eX-
cept to the Democracy, which they
had been fighting all their lives. The
situation for Cleveland and his ele-
ment in this campaign is like the
Wings was after the passage of the
Kansas Nebraska bill of 1854 which
killed their party. The Democracy of
Jeffer IN, Jackson, Benton and Buch-
anan-is DEAD, and the Clevelands,
the Hills, and the rest of the sound
money Democrats will have to join
the Republicans. There. is nothing
else for them to do unless they 90 III

The silverite Way of Encouraging Capital.

The Silvertte way oil encouraging Capttai.
The pupils in a country school were
told that they must love and obey their
kind teacher. A small boy who had
broken one of the rules was called up
by the teacher and ordered to take off
his jacket Then the teacher applied the
rod, saying, johnnie, you little rascal,
I'll make you love me-"
The agitators who are pretending that
they want to encourage the production
and investment of capital by making
money cheaper are proceeding in much
the same way as that teacher They de-
nounce capitalists as "Shylocks" and
money sharks" and threaten to confis-
cate half of the thousands of millions of
dollars now loaned out. The men who
have accumulated little property are
abused as enemies of mankind, and the
banks in which millions of people have
deposited their savings are regarded as
institutions for plundering the poor.
Every one who objects to the free coin
age of so cents worth Of silver into a
legal tender dollar is charged with be-
ing the agent of conspirators who are
trying to corner the country's money.
Does any sensible farmer, worker or
business man, who knows the absolute
necessity for capital in all the indus
tries which make country prosperous,
believe that policy of hate, enmity
and persecution toward capitalists is a
good way to encourage men to save
money or invest it?

Mr.. Retail Salesman! Your salary is,
we will say, $50 per week. You pay 81
for board; a suit of clothes costs you
$12; underwear so cents per garment,
and SO on How would you like it if
you still got the same $15 and had to
pay nearly IS for board, nearly $24 for
a suit, nearly 81 per garment for under
wear, and SO on? That's what free silver
would mean to you, for some time at
any fate.-Dry Goods Economist.

This means larger addition to the
worlds monetary stock than was made
in the years when the minis were open
to free coinage of both gold and silver,
and it is pleasant to note that the
United States will again head the list
of producing countries, with an output
of at least fifty millions.
If there was any reason for the claim
that gold is approaching because of its
scarcity that claim has long since lost
its reason.
