Will people never learn that cold
is an accident to be dreaded, and that
when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no oknow-
ing where the trouble will end; and
while complete recovery is the rule,
the exceptions are terribly frequent,
and thousands upon thousands of
fatal illnesses occur every year usher
ed in by little injudicious exposure
and seemingly trifling symptoms.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS.

1he best statistics available
fixes the worlds production oi
silver and gold ID 1890 at the
following figures: Silver $780,
5l0,456 and gold at $l21 ,05s,
744, bullion value. Total Of the
worlds production Of precious
metals in 1890 s2s1, ,56S,7l4. It
il q matter Of speculation as to
what relative proportion Of the
two meta.s was used in the arts
and sciences, and what proper
ton has been coined into money.
We know that silver enter more
largely into commercial uses than
gold. For instance, vast quanti-
ties Of silver is used in the manu-
facture Of solid and plated table
ware, in ornamenting harness and
in the manufacture Of watches and
jewelry, and for many other pur-
poses, Gold is largely used for
simular purposes but in far less
quantity. So that it is safe to
say that there is more gold coin
age value available for coinage
purposes than there is Of silver.
The demand for silver in the arts
aud sciences far exceed that OF
gold Then where is the flood Of
silver to come from, that the gold
advocates so persistently predict,
under free coinage. Again, Of
the total amour! Of silver pro-
duced by the mines Of the world
in 1890. the Western Continent
produced s142, ,592,752 and the
Eastern Continent produced only
s16,917,704. This seems to ef-
fectually dispose Of the pretended
fear Of the gold advocates that
undsr free coinage the silver OF
the world would be dumped on
our shores" If the nations Of
Europe, Asia and Africa do not
produce silver where will they
get it to dump"
As the United States and Mexi-
co produces s121, 1,9l3,9s6 of the.
grand total, they would have to
purchase it of Americans first and
do the dumping afterwards. In
such a case We hold both ends Of
the string, and would be a race
of fools did We not get the be. of
he bargain. .... 4
The amount of gold and silver
money in the world in 1890, was
silver SO, ,57s,OOO. Gold s3,>
7i1,s45,000. Total per capita Of
gold and silver money in circula.
ton an ong the people of theworld
is S5.17. The world is not burden.
ed with money Of an intrinsic
value as the gold idolaters would
have us believe. The fact is
there is a money famine through
out the world the result Of the
rascally scheming Of the cormor-|
ants who fatten on the misfortun.
es Of others.
The per capita debt of the
world far exceed the per capita
circulation. The annual produc.
ton Of the precious metals if all
coined into money is not sufficient
to pay the annual interest on the
worlds debt. Under present con-
ditions when will the principal be
paid. Never. The people are
slaves TO the money lenders and
useres, and they want to keep
them so.
