AS WE SOW WE REAP.
The True Cause Of the Present Finan-
ciaI Depression.

Day bv day, as failures occur and
stocks go down, it is a favorite thing
for the gold men TO attribute these
events to free silver" and tell us that
this is what it means. Wait until free
silver comes, and then Judge it by it's
" orks, but in the meantime, our dear
gold standard friends, take your med
icine. You are not experiencing the
effects Of the coming OF free silver, but
are experiencing the Legitimate and
inevitable effect of parting with it in
1918. The hurt to silver, though thirty
millions a year, is but the fly on the
wheel" When silver was thrown out
of j is work as money, turned into
commodity and reduced in price year
by year by a constantly increasing
and approaching gold standard, every
other product and commodity was
broken down with it. The whole base
upon which all the securities that Wall
street deals in, and billions more that
do not come to Wall street at all, has
been undermined and crumbled by loss
of products on production, by low pri-
ces, brought on year by year by the
growing STANDARD of value" that in
1873 was substituted for our none
tary unit of silver. We have Sown low
prices in the foundation and are reap
ing them in the superstructure. We
are getting, not the coming of silver
but the legitimate ending in failure
OF the gold policy. 1t has run us to
the limit in our basic operations and
now the enormous and towering struc-
ture of debt built upon labor, now
profitless labor, is feeling the effect
Of weakened foundations, that is all.
Railroads cutting rates until increased
business only means only increased
deficit, factories piling up products,
or shutting down, or selling at cost,
and a little under. in order to prevent
deterioration of machinery by idleness,
the disorganizing of working force,
and. worst of all, the loss of channels
of trade built up during many years
and now the most valuable part OF
their capital, are all experiencing what
the gold policy has done for them,
and by and by they will attribute their
troubles to the true cause. When
they do there will be a heavy reckon
| ing.
When silver comes rising prices will
set in and slowly and surely we shall
get back to profit for production, good
| times, solvency for all that has not
! previously succmnbed But before
| that comes, a good many industries
and interests will have persisted by the
| wayside. New York Daily Financial

THE SOUTHERN RATE WAR.
Meeting of Freight Association to Con-
slider Injunction Proceedings.

A call has been issued for a meeting
of the Southern States Freight Asso-
citation at Asheville, N. c., to-day to
consider questions relative to the in
junction proceedings which are to
come up before Judge Simonton in the
case of the Seaboard Air Line against
the Southern States Freight Assocla-
ton Saturday. A preliminary meeting,
at which the presidents and general
managers of the lines interested were
present. was held in New York Monday,
but the details of the meeting were
withheld from the public. Well-In-
formed railroad men are almost unanl-
lnously of the opinion that some very
undesirable complications will arise
no matter whether Judge SiRonton
continues or dissolves the temporary
in junction. If he dissolves it, which
the associated lines do not want him
to do according to the current report,
they will be in the position which
confronted them before theS declared
for the eighty per cent cat. They viii
have to compromise or put in force
the big cut, with the alternative of adj
hitting that they were bluffing before.
If the injunction is made permanent,
the Seaboard will, it is stated, carry
the case to the Supreme court of the
United States.
RECRUITMENT OF THE r. AND d.
Tt is said that the Southern Railway
Company, as will be mentioned in the
coming annual report, upon taking
possession of the line of the old Rich
mond and Danville system about two
years ago, was handed over $5,000,000
in cash from the reorganization com
mittee for improvements and addi-
tions, the reorganization plan pro
yiding also for the issue each year OF
a certain amount of bonds for new con-
struction.
"In the minds of many interested
persons" according to the report,
these seemed to be extremely gener-
GUS terms, but it has been found that
much of the track was in very poor
condition, and since the new company
assumed possession its officers have
been busy carrying out improvements
to roadbed and track, shops and ter
minal facilities and adding to the
equipment. During the first fiscal year
the company spent nearly $850,0O0 on
new equipment and new construction,
and for the year just ended, which is
the second in the company's history,
the amount has been much larger, a
bout 100000 having been spent in
building steel bridges alone.
Among the improvements in pro-
9ress are the construction of extensive
serminal facilities at Portsmouth, Va;
new passing sidings are being added
all over the line and ballast trains are
at work upon every division. Over
10000 tons of steel rails have been DuT-
chased. There were also purchased

his children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. There is no reason why the
lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs
predispose a child to consumption, They
provide place for germs to settle. That
is all that is necessary. Once let the germs
of disease gain a foot-hold, and they in
crease with a deadly rapidity. Pretty soon
the blood is full of them, and so loses its
healthfulness and its strength giving quail
ties If the weakness Is in some other
organ, the disease will show itself in that
organ. The germs will get into the blood,
just the same, and the body will begin TO
lose strength. We speak particularly OF
consumption because 1t is most common
because it causes more than one sixth OF
all deaths in the world.
If there is weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation of a house, the owner clears
out the decaying material, supplants ii with
new, strong stuff. That's all there is to do.
That's Ii that's necessary.
That is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs Keep them full of rich, red, whole
some blood and the weakness will disap-
pear Decaying tissues will be thrown of,
and new material will be added until the
lungs are we'll and perfectly strong again.
This is the thing that DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery does. This is what
makes 1t cure % per cent. of all cases of
consumption VIII, re il is taken according to
directions 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be in the body. It ex-
terminates them completely and forces
them out of the system. 1t supplies the
blood with rich, ife-giving properties. 1t
makes the appetite good, digestion perfect
It supplies the needed nutriment to all the
tissues and makes sound healthy flesh.
