Consulting Wall Street.

Dear Editor: The effect produced by
the demonstration act Of 70 can be
nicely shown by the following problem
and solution:
Given-The United States prior to '73
with a certain unit of value; double the
unit of value and find the result.
Solution: % Let "U. S." equal the
U. S. prior to '73. (2) Let "U." be
the unit of value prior to '73. By The
requirements of the problem, (0 gu"
is doubled and becomes "W" Double
u. (D Then by substitution ~. S."
becomes "W. S." which being given in
full is Wall Street. Therefore-By
doubling the unit in rs, the United
States has become Wall Street.
Proof: O When about to adopt
some measure, the president or secre-
tary of the treasury consults Wall
street instead of the people as a Whole
through their representatives ~ The
period of rs has produced more Wal
street millionaires than all previous
time. History tells us that Crassus al
the time of Caesar in Rome was one o.
the richest men in the republic, ant
that he was worth only $S,875, 600. We
say only" because some of our nine
tenth century multimillionaires coulc
buy him out fifty times and not give
a mortgage to do it either.
More proofs might be given, but W.
think more are not necessary. Respect
fully yours, A Student.

PARALYSIS.
From the Press. New York City.


Morris Preslaner of No, Pitt Street,
New York, who Is a real estate agent
and collector IL rents, caught severe
cold early last spring. which settled
unon his kidneys Soon he began to
suffer severe pain in his backbone, sides
and chest His symptoms grew rapidly
more alarming, until at last he was as
HELPLESS as a child. and could scarcely
move as he lay on his bed.
Though a native of Berlin, Mr.. Pres
ianer has lived in this country for forty
wears. having served the country of his
adoption by three years hard service
in the civil war. He enlisted with the
Nineteenth Illinois Infantry, taking
part in many battles and marching with
General Sherman TO the sea. He is now
a member of Koltes Post, G. ~. r., and
is one of the most popular men in the
| Post.
Mr.. Preslaner told reporter the story
of his dreadful illness and wonderful
recovery. The reporter met him as he
was returning from long walk, and.
! saving that he had heard of his Won
| derful cure. asked him to tell the story.
! His words were as follows: ITO begin
with, l was taken sick just year and
month ago, having taken severe cold
which settled on my kidneys. At first
I thought the pain that ] had suffered
would soon pass away. but, instead OF
doing this, it grew more intense every
dav. so that in a week I could walk only
with considerable difficulty
Il called in q doctor, who said | had
locomotor ataNia and began tire 1tins
me for that disease. He did me no good,
! pI1

called another doctor and took his medi.
cine for several weeks, but experienced
! no relief DR.. Truman Nichols. of No.

in. helped me more than any of the
other doctors. but along towards fail
grew worse despite his treatment
Early in November the little
strength I had in my legs left me and
l was unable to stand. The pain in my
back and sides became almost unbear-
able, and my limbs grew cold. An
electric battery l bought failed to help
NE, and for weeks l felt myself grGdu-
ally growing weaker until all hope left.
Some time before this l had read Of
a wonderful cure a man had received
from DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, hut was so prejudiced against
what l thought was a patent medicine
of the usual worthless character that
I could not make up my mind to try
them. AS my pains increased and death
seemed coming near, thought of what
had read and Of the symptoms OF the
man who had been cured. They were
precisely the same as mine and at
last. with my wife's earnest entreaty,
consented to try the Pink Pills.

Lincoln CNeb.) special:-About forty
free silver advocates from all parts
of the state met at the Lindell
hotel recently and organized the
Nebraska Silver League. The fol-
lowing declaration of principles
was adopted: I'VE declare ourselves
in favor of the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage OF
gold and silver at the present legal ra-
ton of 16 to /, without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation, such
gold and silver coin to be alike full
legal tender for all debts, public and
private.
1--WE invite all persons who believe IN
the financial policy above set forth to
unite with us in its dissemination
The organization is entirely non-par-
tisan and the executive power is vested
in committee of four chosen from the
Republican, Populist, Democratic and
Prohibition parties. EZ-Congressman
G. L. Laws, Governor Silas A. Hol-
comb. x-Congressman W. J. Bryan
and Hon. H. w. Hardy, late prohibition
candidate for governor, were unan-
imously chosen as members Of such
committee. The executive committee
was empowered to appoint all subor-
dinate officers and was directed to Or
ganize in like form all the counties Of
the state. and the county organizations
are to organize the precincts IN IKE
manner. There was perfect harmony
throughout.
That is right. The movement referred
to above is upon correct lines. The
organization should be strictly non-p2r-
tisan. There are silver Democrats
silver Republicans. silver Populists and
silver Prohibitionists, but there are not
enough silver men in any one party to
carry the country.
Converts to the cause of bimetalllsm
must be made everywhere and in all
parties. This can certainly be done
to the best advantage by combining IN
the same organization members OF al
the existing political parties, because
the organization will then have its in
fuence with all parties. If, on tho
other hand, silver men should organize
in partisan way, every man in the
country who is not quite prepared u
concede it's overshadowing importance
would at once retire behind the ram
parts of party prejudice, and instead
of STRENGTHENING, his sympathy for TIL
silver cause will weaken.
Nothing but education coupled Will
organization is necessary for the com
plete triumph of bimetallism, and Tn
National Bimetallist sends its hearties
greetings to the silver league OF Ne
