States alone of free silver coinage. and q
change Of the existing standard Of value in
dependently OF the action OF other great
nations. would not only imperial our finances,
but would retard or entirely prevent the
establishment Of international bimetallism to
which the efforts OF the government should
be steadily directed. It would place this
country at once upon a silver basis, impair
contracts. disturb business, diminish the pur-
chasing power Of the wages OF labor, and in
fiict irreparable evils upon our nations COM
merce and industry.
"'Untii international cooperation among
leading nations for the coinage Of silver can
be secured, we favor tho rigid maintenance
OF the existing gold standard as essential to
the preservation OF our national credit. the
redemption OF our public pledges. and the
keeping inviolate Of our country's honor.
"'we insist that all our paper and silver
currency shall be kept absolutely at parity
with gold. The Democratic party is the
party OF hard money, and Is opposed to le-
gal tender paper money as part OF our per-
manent financial system, and we therefore
favor the gradual retirement and cancela-
tion Of all United States notes and treasury
notes, under such legislative provisions as
will prevent undue contraction. We de-
mand that the national credit shall be reso-
lutely maintained at all times and under all

SCiiatiC
 Rheumatism

Per real blood diseases relief can only be obtained by using a real blood reme- dy. So many people who are sufferers from an obstinate or deep-seated blood disease make the mistake of taking rem edies which at best are only tonics and cannot possibly reach their trouble. It is in just such cases which other so-called blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S. has made some of the most won derful cures. Rheumatism is one of the most obstinate diseases of the blood, and there are few remedies which have any effect whatever upon it.
 Mir. Asa Smith. who resides at Green castle, Indiana, where he is well known, writes:
 "For many years have suffered from that terrible disease known as Sciatic Rheumatism, which the treatment of many physicians failed to relieve. have also used nearly every known blood remedy, but they did me no good, as they did not seem to reach my case at all. Possibly my con- iition and the extent of my suferings
