Parity of Gold and Silver.

Secretary Carlisle has written an in- teresting letter in answer to inquiries on the subject of maintaining the equality of gold and silver. He says that all the silver dollars issued from the hints since 1878, amounting to more than $433, ,000, 900. are legal tenders to any amount, in the absence of special agreement to the contrary, and are re- ceived by the government in payment of all public dues and demands. The government makes no discrimination between the two metals, pay ing gold on its coin obligations when gold is de- handed and silver when silver is de- manded. The amount of silver has been 30 limited as not to impair the public confidence in the ability of the govern ment to maintain the equality of the two metals. The cause which has pre- vented depreciation in the silver dol lar is the faith in the ability and pur- pose of the government, which is bound by moral obligation, supplemented by statutory enactments declaring such to be the policy of the government, to pre- serve the value of it's own coins. With the present safe guards the silver certif- icates and the silver will doubtless con- tinue to circulate at par with gold. But. the secretary declares. with free and un- limited coinage of silver at the propos- ed ratio, of Is to l, point will soon be reached when the volume of over-valued silver forced into circulation by legal tender provision would expel gold from the country or put such a premium up on it that it would be impossible to pro. cure and hold in the treasury sufficient amount to provide for the redemption of silver on presentation. We should then be on mono-metallic, depreciated silver bssis with all its evil conse. uuences.

Deafness Can'r be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
