Hard Time. and Pree Silver.

The GAINESVILLE Tenn. Leaf Chroni-
Gle has the following:
"There is not n first class commercial
country on earth now that has free coin
age.
"There is not free silver country on
earth that has as much as So per capita
in circulation-all kinds Of money.
"There is in circulation in the United
States $24 per capita, or $40. 90 more
per capita than any free silver country
on earth.
1--WE have more in circulation today
than ever before and more per capita
than any free silver country on earth
"Our dollar will buy more sugar,
coffee, -four, meal, meat, medicine,
hardware and clothing than in 1878.
"A barrel of corn, bushel Of wheat
or 100 pounds Of tobacco will buy nearly
double as much Of the articles that
farmers consume as the same kind Of
corn, wheat or tobacco would buy In
1878.
1.-The wages Of the laboring man will
buy double as much of the necessaries
of life now as in 1878. and his wages
have not been reduced one-fourth as
much as the purchasing power of his
money has been increased "
All of the above propositions we assert
without the fear of intelligent contra
diction. Then. If it be fact that no
free silver country on earth has as much
as 81 per capita; and if it be a fact that
we have about SEA per capita; and il 1t
be a fact that we have more silver in
circulation per capita than any free sill
yer country in the world; and If it be a
fact that the purchasing power Of cur
dollar is now about double what II was
In 1878. and that the products Of the
farm will purchase more necessaries of
life than in 1873. our free silver friends
will have to hunt farther for the hard
times complained Of. They can't charge
Il to a reduced circulation or 20 higher
prices. Galveston News

The silverite candidate for president
nominated at Chicago declared: 1--WE
are fighting for our homes, our families
and posterity" Mr.. Bryan neglected to
say how policy of debt reputation
and property confscation would estab-
lish more firmly the right Of men who
build homes to own them. If, as he
seems to think, the fact that Some debt
ors are poor justifes the wholesale rob
berry Of creditors, would not the same
logic entitle the millions who have no
land or homes to share the property Of
the farmers who have by hard work Sc
cured home and little wealth? Can
an agitation which attacks capital and
property rights be truly said to be a
movement in defense Of the peoples
homes9
There are about 1000, 900 Americans
who have saved up a little money and
deposited it in savings and other banks
or in building and loan associations A
large proportion Of the 5000, 900 have
saved from their small earnings in hope
of one day having enough to get home
for their old age. Mr.. Bryan's 10 to |

savings in two Is that a policy In de-

teen years she has been badly broken
out all over her body, causing her un-
told suffering, and frequently rendering
her unable to attend school. Her arms
and limbs would crack open and bleed,
then dry up and scale off by the hand
full, and at one time an awful sore APP
peared on her ear, which became severe
" inhamed and almost dropped off.
The disease also broke out OH her head
and her hair was continuous mass Of
scales. Her condition was truly pitia-
BILE.
"Of course we have done all we could
to relieve her, and have given her al
most every known treatment. She has
taken potash mixtures and various salves
and external applications by the whole
sale, and almost every so-called blood
remedy, all without the slightest
benefit, and'year by year we could not
feel the slightest encouragement that
she would ever be we'll. I was advised
several times to send her to Hot Springs,
and also to a celebrated spring in Michi
gan, and was told that this was the only
chance on earth of her ever being cured,
as the disease was too aggravated to be
checked by medicines.
"A few months ago, someone recon-
mended S. 5. s., and as soon as her sys-
TEN had taken on the effects of this
medicine, an improvement was noticed.
She grew better all the while and con-
tinued to improve in every way We
were delighted to see her so much bet
ter and for the first time felt that she
would get we'll The medicine was con-
tinued a while longer, and now she is
cured sound and well, her skin is clear
and pure, and she has been saved from
what threatened to blight her life for
ever. The cure is all the more remark
able because she inherited the disease
which has been in our family for several
generations, and l am happy to find
in S. S. S. a cure for a diseas which
all the specialists in the world fail to
cure. | consider S. S. S. most wonder
full remedy, and it certainly has no equal
for deep-seated blood diseases which all
other remedies do not seem to touch. "
This experience is like that Of all others
who seek relief from the many so-Called
blood purifiers, only to be discouraged.
1t is but folly to expect cure from this
dreadful disease by the use of salves,
lotions, or any external application.
The disease is in the blood, and
only blood remedy can eliminate it.
5. S. S. is a real blood remedy guaran-
teed purely vegetable and for real deep
seated blood diseases, has no equal. 1t
cures permanently Scrofula, letter,
Rheunatism, and all OF the many blood
diseases. It has made some truly re-
markable cures of Cancer, full accounts
of which can be had on application; our
valuable books on blood and skin dis
eases will also be sent free to any adj
dress. Swift Specific Company, Atlanta,
Georgia.

Observation-Disclosures.

Although announcements III the ma
ture of advertisement appeared III the
London Gazette almost from the first,
the word itself does not occur until No.
AZ. SO April, 1866, when IAN Adver-
tisement from the Hearth Office i'll Lon
dom" addressed to the farmers of the
hearth tax, was inserted. This was re-
peated in No. 45, 1919 April. The
heading Advertisement" appears III
the body of the journal in No. 80, which
bears date 1914 May, 1866. In No. G2,
1918 June, 1866, the editor inserts the
following, which deserves notice as an
instance of unparalleled self denial:
Gan Advertisement. Being daily
prest TO the Publication of Books, Med
icines, and other things not properly the
business Of Paper of Intelligence, This
is to notiie, once for all, that we will
not charge The Gazette with Advertise
ments, unless they be matter OF State
but that a Paper of Advertisements will
be forthwith printed apart, and recon-
mended to the Publick by another
hand. "
1t occurs to me to ask what the PA
per of Advertisement" was; and does
not the extract furnish an early instance
of the use Of the editorial "we?" The
good resolutions of the editor were soon
broken, and he inserts the following i'll
No. "a, Sill October, 1866:
"Such as have settled in new Habita-
tions since the late Fire, and desire for
the convenience of their correspondence
to publish the place Of their present
