BISMARCK AGAIN.
The Farming Glass Must Not Be
Estranged.


New York, Sept. PA dispatch to
the World from London says:
Moreton!Frewen came back today
from the international agricultural
congress at Budapest. One delegate,
Herr Won Freden, leader of the con-
servatives in the German reichstag,
and nelghbor of Prince Bismarck
at FREDERICKSBURG, reported q con-
versation he had recently with the
prince on the American political
situation as follows:
Frankly, Kordoff, I am too old to
go to school over the currency ques-
ton, but 1 recognize that although I
acted in 1873 on what 1 regarded as
the best advice, my action was too
precipitate, in view of the results
which have followed. The one class
that we cannot afford to estrange is
the farming class. If they are con-
WINGED, and they assure you they are
convinced, that agricultural depres-
sion is peculiar to these monetary
changes, our government must re-
view its position"

Silver Shipments.
A New York dispatch dated the It'll

A New York dispatch dated the 18th
inst. reads:
M. Guggenheim sons will ship 1917
900 ounces of silver; j. Seligman g.
Co, $4,000 ounces: Handy & Hartman,
$4,000 ounces; Heidelbach. Kitchener
& Co., $4,000; Lewissohn Bros. 10000
ounces; and 10000 Mexican dollars to
to Europe on the steamer Campania,
sailing tomorrow"
The foregoing is commended to the
attention of Senator Allison, who
recently said at Des Moines that I'M
der free coinage the worlds annual
silver product would seek our minis.
Europe is now buying and always
has bought silver because she has use
for it and her dep:and for the metal
would not cease because of the re-
opening of our minis. She would
need silver then as much as now, and
needing, and unable to obtain it from
other sources, she would have to buy
it FROM the United States and Mexico.
Her purchases would consequently
continue, but with this difference:
Instead of getting our silver for SO
cents an ounce she would have to
give $1.29 for it. If we had free coin
age now, the silver exported from
New York Saturday last would have
returned to the miners twice as much
money, and the more our miners and
other producers receive for their pro-
ducts sold abroad the better for them
and for the country. Dubuque Tele-

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers from Piles.


DIR. Redmond, a specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rec
tai diseases, recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery
for the cure of piles, was the most re-
markable remedy he had ever seen or
tried in one respect; and that was,
the instant relief experienced in all
cases, no matter how severe, from
the moment the remedy was applied;
this was the more surprising to him
because he had carefully analysed
the preparation and no trace ofopium
cocaine or similar poisons could be
detected.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure, because
it is rapidly taking the place of sur
gical operations and because it is SO
simple, so easily applied and contains
no mineral or other poisons so com
monty used in pile cures.
DIR. Esterbrook reports that the
Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms of Piles but never fails
to give immediate relief on the first
application, no matter how severe
the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from
piles for years are often astonished at
the instant relief experiecend from
first application. Another important
advantage is the fact that anyone
can use the remedy without detention
from business or interference with
daily occupation. Sold by druggists

Earnest Words of a Leading and Life Long
Republican.
The gold craze is dying out. The men
who were proud to be known as mem
bers of the party of Abraham Lincoln
will refuse to line up with Mark Han
mas Shylocks and their Democratic
camp followers. Hon. H. S. Cochran,
one of the best-known lawyers Of Iowa
and lifelong Republican, in recent
address said:
Il denounce the st. Louis Republican
platform because it seeks to stab to
death the constitution of the United
States. 1t seeks to engraft upon the
constitution, without consulting the
states which made it, the reasonable
sentiment that congress, as agent of
the people, shall not coin money with
out consent of foreign powers. 1t was
made at the dictation of the gold gam
blers of Wall street and London. It
was made in the face of all the patri-
otto utterances of every leading Re-
publican statesmen in the country and
repudiates all they have heretofore
said and done. It stultifies itself and
trainers, and the honest producers on
the farm and in the factory and ev-
erywhere will see to it that gold gam
bling in this country shall cease, and
unjust discrimination shall not be
tolerated"

Make the Most Of Yourself.

1t is the duty of every man to make
the most of himself. Whatever his
capacities may be, he is sure to find
some place where he can be useful to
himself and to others. But he can
not rea CHI his highest usefulness with
out good health without pure blood.
The blood circulates to every organ
and tissu and when it is pure, rich
and healthy it carries health to the
entire system, but if it is impure it
scatters disease wherever it flows.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one tue
blood purifier. 1t cures salt
rheum, scrofula, oatarrh, dyspepsia
and rheumatism because these dis
eases have their origin in the blood.

Ibis was not because the European
minis coined an ounce into 81 1888. At
that rate the silver in q dollar is
worth $1,000 at the European mint,
and the normal quotation in the
London market, which is called it's
bullion or commercial value, is not
the 80 mills OF cents premium but
this amount less cost of transporta-
tion to the mint and loss of interest
while awaiting coinage, which nor
mally ranged FROM to 20 mills. 1t
was not until the demonetization act
of Feb, 10, 1878. that the bullion in a
dollar fell below the French mint
price, and not until 1874 that it fell
below our own mint price of $1.OO.
The flood of gold poured upon the
world between 1850 and 1870 was the
cause of the characterization of silver.
From 1893, to 1850, period of 357
years the total gold product of the
world was 15s, 770,051 ounces. In the
20 years between 1860 and 1870 it was
l22,ool,2I6 ounces, or nearly as much
as in the previous 357 years.
The total amount of silver mined in
the same time was $50, 1877 1904 ounces,
against 1892, $50, OILS mined in the pre-.
ceding 357 years. The gold stock of
the world doubled between 1850 and
1870. The silver stock increased by
only one-seventh, yet the advocates
OF a single gold standard have fooled
millions of voters into the belief that
it was the flood of silver and not of
gold that caused the decentralization
of the white metal. That the world
has nothing to fear from any silver
flood let us take the production of
the last forty-five years to show.

Hobart and High Coal.

Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey,
the republican candidate for vice
president, is the pool commissioner of
the coal trust. Since he became pool
commissioner of the coal trust, says
the Duluth Herald, the price of coal
has been raised $1.75 per ton. This
trust caused the output of coal to be
'essene3 by working half time at
many of the mines and shutting down
entirely at others, thereby giving its
workingmen less work and paying
them for what little work they can
get at what would be properly called
starvation wages" even if they
were TO work full time Martin

Silver and Gold Production.

In the table given by Secretary
Carlisle the worlds production of
silver and gold from 1893 to 1870 was
90 ounces of silver to ounce of gold,
and in all that time silver was kept
at commercial parity with free coin
age at Is or 1916 to |. Since 1870
Secretary Carlisle shows that the
worlds production has been II ounces
of silver to l ounce of gold, and that
without free coinage, with no mints
open the value of the silver has been
reduced one-half. His exact figures
are as follows:

The average production of silver
since 1870, compared with gold, has
been below that of the previous four
centuries, and far below the average
production prior to 1870.
The statement that the "enor nous
production of silver prior to 1878 was
the cause of its characterization has
been repeated SO often that millions
believe it; but the truth is that never
in the history of the world had the
production of silver fallen so low in
proportion to that of gold. Secre.

Never in the history of the world
not even during the tariff trust cam
paign of 1892, with it's British flags
and forgeries from British news
papers-has there ever been such
shameless lying, such brazen false
hoods, as have be en- repeated daily
by men and newspapers to deceive
and delude those who cannot get at
the facts. Of all the opponents of
free colnage the World alone his had
the fairness and honesty to publish
the official figures; but that is be-
cause its opposition is based on the
wisdom of adopting it ut the present
time and without help from silver
countries-not because it favors a
single gold standard as the others do.
The effect of this reduction in the
proportional production of silver
from an annual average for centuries
of 20 to to 8 to was gold scare.
There are plenty living now who re-
member it and those who do not
should read up on the monetary his

of Chicago, publishes book, ''l6 to

the mint offered, and if the coins had
not been at premium would not
have been coined. But let Secretary

Maine is not on the political map of the

ton. Vermont is the only state in the
Union which showed decrease in pop
ulation in 1890. The great west ships
corn and wheat into Vermont and
Maine the same as to England and
other non. agricultural countries. You
cannot expect Maine to vote for dollar

on that issue you can sweep the state.
