4 farmer raises 1000 bushels of
wheat, for which he now gets $780,
With that money he buys various kinds
of manufactured goods at low prices.
With free coinage at sixteen to one he
might get $1,000 for his wheat, but
would certainly have to pay nearly
twice as much for the goods he would
buy. How much would the farmer gain
from a cheap money scheme which
doubled the price Of the things he
got in exchange for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law Of 1890 pro-
vided for the purchase by the govern
ment of $4,000, ,000 ounces CT silver per
year. Under the operation OF that
law the price of silver, after a short
speculative rise, fell steadily from $1.16
to T3 cents per ounce. II the purchase
and storage of practically the entire
American production of silver could
not prevent its price from falling, what
reasons are there for believing that the
mere act of coming silver into dollars
and returning them to the owners OF
the bullion will double the price of
all the silver in the world2
A workingman who depends for his
livelihood on the sale of his labor to
an employer is now paid two dollars
per day in currency based on the gold
standard and kept on d parity with
gold by our laws. This two dollars
viii buy relatively large quantity of
necessities. If this country adopts free
coinage and goes on to a silver basis,
two dollars will buy only one-half as
much of the goods the worixingman
needs. Show how labor would be bene-
fted by O policy which would cut the
purchasing power of wages in two?

planned that they were poor decided
TO enact laws which vcud make them
all rich. AS the poverty consisted in the
lack of food, clothes. furniture. houses
and other forms Of wealth, they agreed
that instead Of producing the things
they needed they would set men to
work digging silver, which they did
not need, out of the Rocky mountains.
By so doing they expected that the sup
ply Of other labor products would in
some mysterious way be increased.
How much IS twice nothing. and how
will the changing Of silver bullion into
coins make more houses, machinery or

ANEW DISCOVERY BY The SHR-
RERS.

The shopleeper who cheats us By
lying with regard to the quality of his
goods, and the grocer or the butcher
who gives us short weights, is a thief.
However, their knayery touches moth
ing but our pocket-book. There is an
other widespread form Of misrepresen-
tation of a far more dangerous and
yiIlainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently
accompany medicines. To guarantee
q medicine to cure is to brand it as
quack product If we guarante to
cure disease, then we can guarantee
everlasting life, for in a large majority
of cases. people die of disease, the pro-
portion of violent or accidental deaths
BEING very small.
The Shakers have always been known
as a most upright and honorable peo-
pie, and their success in the manufac-
ture OF medicines also has been well
known. 1t is, therefore, not surpris-
ing TO find them pursuing a very origi-
raj and novel plan for the introduction
Of their remedy for dyspepsia.
These God-fearing people, whose
motto has always been, Cry all things,
and hold fast that which is good" have
put upon the market ten cent sample
bottles of their product, or sufficient to
give it a trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so
prompt in its action that for the trivial
sum of ten cents, a person can usually
determine as to whether or not it meets
the requirements of his case. There are
forms of dyspepsia which it won't help,
but these are very rare. in most cases
the first dose relieves all distress, and
an increase of appetite follows.
All druggists have it, and the next
time you are troubled with Indigestion
send out and try this popular and sue
cessful product. 1t represents nearly
hundred years of patient inyestiga-
tion and study.

mission were conceived and carried omt
by f. w. Hagley, vice-president and
general manager Of the Cataract Gem
eral Electric Company, which company
furnished the current for the initial
circuit. These demonstrations of the
humiliation of time and space by
means of modern telegraph facilities
are the most extensive that have ever
been undertaken. The invention of in
s5ruments and the construction of vast
systems Of telegraph lines and cables
which make these remarkable feats
possible, have all been the work Of
scarcely more than fifty years, and a
iarge portion of it of the last dozen
years. No better illustration of the
