Eczema
All Her Life.

Mr.. E. D. jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga,
saws that his daughter, Ida, inherited
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external apph-
cations aud internal remedies, without
result. Her suferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.

BYRNE THROWS A SCARE.
President of the Honest Money League
Fears Bryan Will Garry the State by
Default

Major John Byrne, President of he
Democratic Honest-Money League, who
has spent several days up the State, re-
turned yesterday. Last night an interview
with him was given out rom headouar-
tiers. He says: ''Both Central, Western
and Northern New York are rotten on
silver, and unless something is done we
will lose the State. Bryan had wildly
enthusiastic meetings and has left an ugly
trail behind him.
81 am alarmed, because if the estimates
on the other critical States are as enron
eous as those on New York there is no
hope for the country. To-day an election
would give the State to Bryan by 100,-
000 majority.
The truth is the campaign is going by
default; there is too much confidence and
not enough work.
There is n lacge class-railroad men,
farm laborers and others-who are for
Bryan and free silver through Ignorance,
and should be saved. Tnis education
alone will do. They are not getting the
needed instruction and cannot hope to
get 1T unless means can be had to enable
the work to go on. Our league here
could do 81 per cent. more for the cause
than it is doing if it had the means"
Further Mr.. Byrne says that since the
Madison Square meeting the league has
oaly received $500 in subscriptions, and
scores the New York capitalists and mon
led institutions for their 'overconfidence'
and general desire not to give up for
campaign purposes.
1 Chairman b. B. Odell, of the Republi-
can State executive committee, says that
the interview is totally at variance with
the report which the committee had re-
ceived from up the State.-New York

erland where (us in other countries than
ours) the telegraph and telephones belong
to the postoflice, the go, erumen, has re-
duced the rental of telephones to SO per
year TO each subscriber. The government
in Sweden charges So per year for use of
telephone. The usual charge for Il tele-
gram in all other countries than ours is 10
cents. Just think of the enormous differ
ence to the people of II postal telegraph
and telephones, with 10 cents 70 tele-
gram between any two points in the I'm
ion, and telephones renting at So or So
per year. Why should not the people of
the United States have the advantage of
these rates like the people under the gov
ernments less avowedly conducted in the

GOING TO PROTECT GAME.
The Sportsmen of Ocala Have Organized
n Club


Ocala, Fla, Sept. 5-The lovers of field
and stream sports in Ocala have organized
for the protection of the game in the
State. They met Friday night in F. A.
leagues office. DIR. VIM. Anderson was
elected general manager and the govern
ing board consists of the following we'll
known hunters: WIN. Anderson, F. a.
league, B. t. Perdue, O. T. Green and
James w. Sanders. Some seventy five
members were enrolled. The object of
the association is not only to rigidly OBJ
serve the present game laws of the State,
but each member has made pledge to do
all in his power to see that other people
do the same. These men recognize the
fact that unless the game of the State is
protected as the law already directs, in
few years the prestige that Florida has
enjoyed rs the huntsman's paradise will
only be a memory. The general manager,
DR.. Anderson, is the right man in the
right place, as he is n true disciple of the
iod, reel and gun.

THE ENDLES s CHAIN

1t is not true that every standard sill
yer dollar is ..''backed by a gold dollar"
Neither is it true that every greenback is
backed by n gold dollar. President Cleve-
land has a hard time keeping 100000.
0OO in gold in the Treasury. There are
over 400, 000.000 silver dollars in exis-
tence, and about $3.50, 000,0 600 in green
backs You therefore see that it is i'm
I possible for 100,000,000 gold dollars to
"back' 100000 silver and greenback
dollars.
Greenbacks and Treasury notes get into
the banks in the ordinary course of bus
mess. They are both redeemable in either
gold or silver at the option of the Gov
eminent; but Secretary Foster and Sec
rotary Carlisle decided to transfer this op-
ton to the creditor The banks therefore
take the greenbacks and Treasury notes
to the Treasury and say: ''Give us gold
coin." The Secretary of the Treasury
draws from the 100000, 900 gold reserve
fund until it gets pretty low, and then
he says he must issue bonds and get more
gold. The banks then give him back the
gold they have drawn out and take the
bonds. The greenbacks are paid out by
the Government and the banks again
gather them up and draw out the gold
they gave the Government for the bonds.
Then the Government again issues bonds,
the banks buy them with the gold they
got from the Government, and this pro-
cess can be repeated until our debt will
be rs large as it was at the close of the
civil war. There need not have been n
single bond issued during the present ad-
| ministration, if President Cleveland had
availed himself of the right he had to pay
silver coin in redemption of greenacks
and Treasury notes.
