The VenOmOuS Breath of Malaria

Does not infect the system of those who
use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as pre-
caution against it, Nor is it less useful as
a remedy where intermittent and remit
tent fever has fully established itself in
consequence of a neglect of preventive
measures. 1t checks the paroXySms with
astonishing certainty, and eradicates this
type of disease, even in its most inveterate
form. This medicine is especial boon
to the emigrant population of the far
West, where fevers of malarial type are
particularly prevalent, but the recognition
of it's merits is SO far from being limited,
that it is known and appraised at its true
value throughout the length and breadth
of America. Travellers by land and sea,
miners and SojournerS in unhealthy locali-
ties. esteem it highly and are it's most
constant purchasers, and in many rural
household, far and wide, 1t is the chosen
family specific.

The Financial Question.

Eds. Record Union: If you will al
low the necessary space l would like to
express a thought on the financial
question.
Last evening, in reading the columns
of your esteemed contemporary, the
Bee" the following statement claimed
my attention:
In this campaign of fabrication
which is being SO zealously prosecuted
on behalf of Mckinley, no one state
ment has been reiterated more persist
entity than that the reason why the sill
yer dollar is at par to-day is that it is
redeemable in gold, and the reason that
it would not be at par under free coin
age is because it would not be so re-
deemable. Now the plain fact of the
matter is that silver dollars are not re-
deemable in gold, and they never have
been. The Government has made no
more pledge to redeem them in gold
than it has signed a contract to redeem
all it's gold with silver. Even the sub
treasures of the United States refuse to
give out gold for silver at their pleas
ure, and they can refuse to give out sill
yer for gold when they think it best so
to do. Gold and silver are interchange
value-not made SO by the bullion worth
of the metal that is in them, but so Gre
ated because of the stamp of the Gov
ernment which affixes and settles their
value. If the Government stamp can
make a valid dollar now out of SO cents
OF silver, worth a dollar all the world
over'-as the gold bugs declare that it
does-it can repeat the operation just
as successfully under free coinage"
Now, leaving out of consideration the
correctness or error of the main state
ment contained in the paragraph quoted
Chat silver dollars are not redeemable
in gold), it seems to me that an implied
contract dependent upon the honor of
the contractor for its fulfillment should
be as binding as a specific promise.
And our Government is, at least bound
just that manner. Why? How did the
present standard dollar" come into cir
culation? The Government certainly
did not gratuitously distribute it's own
property. The bullion from which it
was coined was purchased by the Gov
ernment at deprecated rate Cor in
The record-union., 1896-09-09

stance, 53 cents), made into silver dol
lar and remained the property of the
Government until 1t was bought from
the Government with a gold dollar.
Efface the stamp of the Government,
and the STANDARD dollar Is worth but
53 cents Then, what but the stamp or
the Government is to represent TO nm
who has parted with his gold dollar the
other Al cents? Then, why does not
the stamp of the Government constitute
promise that it will maintain that sill
yer dollar at parity with the gold dol
lar, or, if it fail to do so, will make good
the loss. And, as matter Of principle
and matter of fact, would 1t make any
difference whether, upon such failure,
the loss were made good to the original
goldowner by delivering to him the
AZ cents worth of silver retained by the
Government upon the assurance that
the SO cents worth marked "one dollar"
should pass for that amount-or
whether his gold dollar were returned
to him?. The Government would be
morally obligated to do one thing or the
other.
If our silver friends could eliminate
from their minds the theory that some
they would be better fitted to inject
"Bryanide of silver into the veins of
that great throbbing thing called the
public" and less liable to fall into the
error of believing that the moral liza
bility, and consequently implied prom
lse of redemption on the part of a Gov
ernment whose credit is unquestioned,
has no effect whatever toward the MAIN
tenance of the integrity of it's money
values; better able to explain, perhaps,
the strange logic upon which they base
comparison of the present system of
10 TO II with that which would obtain
under the Demo- Populistic free-coinage
scheme, whereunder the Government
would be subject to no greater liability
than that of accomplishing a good job
in the minting of the ''coin of the peo-
ple"-which, by the way, would still be
the property of its owners, and would
not become part of the circulating me-
dunn of the people until they had rem
dered the equivalent of the perhaps CD
fictitious value stamped upon tiff not
in gold, then by the sweat of their
brows." TRUEMAN SOPHISTICUS
