Key West. Fla. Nov. 21.-Advices re-

While Weyler's present campaign Is
regarded in Havana as marking a crisis
in the war; IL is whispered that at the
conclusion of any pitched battle that
may be fought. a truce may be de-
clared and arrangements made for a
conference between the insurgent lead
ers and the representatives, of Spain
looking to a settlement OF the war.
This is most significant as showing that
all classes are utterly tired OF the war
and its burdens. and longing for some
way out OF the present difficulties.
Under these circumstances an i'm
portant insurgent victory would almost
be hailed in commercial circles at Ha-
vana with the same satisfaction that a
Spanish victory would be received. A
great deal OF misery exists in Havana.

A Great Prosperity Restoreri

While the debt paying power of sill

will be reduced one-half. There is not a
man, be he laborer ON the street or pres

find that his daily wages or his yearly
salary went only half as far as it went

orphan but would find that the life in

How Colo Gets It's Place.
). p. Dexter of Galva, Ills, asks /:
Why was silver demonetized?

r. p. Dexter of Galva, Ills, asks:
why was silver demonetized?
did any country ever come to a gold
standard through the efforts or the
wishes of the people of that country"
The two questions may be answered
together. The people Of many countries
have discontinued the use of silver as
standard money (demonetized silver
because they prefer gold.
Secretary Morton said in a public ad-
dress the other day that they deferryized
fatboats on the Missouri river in the
neighborhood of Omaha because steam
boats served the purpose better. Later
they deferryized steamboats, because q
steel bridge served their purpose better
still. They didn't make those changes
as the result of an election, but as
matter of business.
In like manner the principal com
mercial nations have abandoned silver
and accepted gold as the standard. They
have not done so by any town meeting
process, but simply as matter Of bust
ness.
In the dealings of men living in diff
erent countries, or in what is called in
ternational trade, there is no standard
prescribed by law, or lawful money.
But gold has been accepted as the stand
ard by common consent. The people
engaged in this trade prefer gold.
Only short time ago Bolivia DELHI
erately abandoned the silver standard
and adopted the gold standard. What
the people think Of the change may be
learned from citizen of this country
who was there at the time of the
change, and who describes the scenes
of rejoicing among the people as some
thing far surprising any other demon
stration he ever witnessed. They re-
garded the change from silver to gold
as deliverance out of a wretched condi-
ton into the light of a new and better
era.
The people of other gold standard
countries, whether that standard was
originally of their own choosing or not,
are not agitating for its abandonment.
This country may be regarded as an ex-
ception, but the agitation here is less
formidable than many people seem to
suppose.

and boy orator demagogues are not "the

man. These hurniliating measures are
generally absolutely unnecessary, and
there is seldom any reason why a woman
should submit to them. This statement
is made on the authority of DR.. r. V.
Pierce, an eminent specialist in the treat

years he has been the chief consulting
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
was designed for the cure of all dis
eases and disorders of the distinctly fem
mime organs. 1t has been successful,
even beyond the expectations of its dis
coverer. 1t acts directly on these deli
cate and sensitive organs, and brings
them back to perfect, vigorous health. Its
effect is almost immediate. 1t allays in
fiammation, and stops unbearable, nerve
nagging pains, as we'll as unnatural,
facilitating drains on the system. It
corrects distressing and painful irregu-
larities, and cures where doctors fail.
Every woman who would like to know the truth
about her own physiology in health and disease
should have copy of DR.. Pierce's Common Sense
Medical Adviser. This remarkable book has over
1000 pages and is a complete medical library in
one volume 1t contains several chapters on the
reproductive physiology of woman, written in
plain language, and illustrated fully and very
carefully 1t tells exactly what the " Favorte Pre-
