k<>/1fNS&JE Anyone who under
-=ee-=sszzzzzs73 ~ stands mechanics
~S9 S.e---l = knows the need of
- a counter-balarce to
erua1ize power and keep the machinery
going with q steady even motion. With
out i the machinery would wrench itself
out Of shape. It's the same way with the
machinery Of the human body: it needs
to 90 on steadily and regularly to be in
rood health-uot by fits and starts. The
Sudden wrenching medicines which peo-
bic sometimes take to overcome consti-
bation, give a violent strain to the intes-
lines which weakens them, SO that the
costiveness is afterwards worse than be-
fore.
What costive people need is natural
laxative like DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
which are powerful without being vio-
lent. They move the bowels gradually
and comfortably but surely. You eau
regulate the dose - one, two or three
ssPellets ''-exactly as you need. They
strengthen the ir1testines to do their own
work, so that after their movements have
become regular they keep on naturally
of themselves.
The Pleasant Pellets" gently sti1nu-
late and invigorate the liver to throw off
biliousness;; and tone up the stomach to
secrete the digestive juices, and over
come dyspepsia. The entire digestive,
or alimentary, tract is put in motion in
the regular steady way of nature and
health. This IS what makes the " Pleas
ant Pellets" so immensely superior to
the numerous purging pills which wrench
ard weaken the system. Druggists may
get more profit out of those other pills
out yOW do5s't.
The Pleasant Pellets - are tiny sugar
coated granules-4o or more in a little
one-iuch vial tightly corked, hence, al
ways fresh and reliable.

COMPLICATED BY sILvER's FALL


Forced loans by the government In the
form of bank notes, issued for public
uses rather than for the legitimate pur-
poses of business, drove paper below par
in silver and led the country in miro
from which escape grew daily more diff
Quilt with the steady fall in tie price Of
silver. The government made q bad
instter worse by putting out It's own
paper issues in 1879 and 1880, which were
swelled by the issues of President Bal
maceda during his attempt to crush the
Congressional party.
The Congressional party, after their
victory in August 1891, took heroic steps
to restore the parity OF coin and paper,
but found the tasksvastly Enore difficult
because of the fall in tho price of silver.
Silver having become the money of oirou-
lation just before the issue of paper, there
was no reason to believe that the paper
would be redeemed in anything but sill
yer. The downward course Of the paper,
therefore, followed almost exactly the
downward course of silver. only at q
slightly lower lsveI. There is no reason
to doubt that if ultimate redemption had
been expected in gold tho paper would
have remained nearer to the gold line
and would have been in recent years
above parity with silver.
The persistent fall in the value of silver
made resumption of specie payments in
that metal little better than continuance
upon a paper basis. The Gillian gov
ernment, therefore, determined to resume
specie payments in gold, but at rate Of
exchange which would accord with the
actual value of the paper in gold at about
the time of resumption. The first legisla
tion on the subject was not successful
and it became necessary to make new
readjustnent which carried the value of
the standard coin, which had formerly
| neen ST. dOwnsto about 36. 40 ¢s in
United States gold coin. The dollar was
made the monetary unit, but was re-
duced to one-thirteentn part of pound
sterling instead Of constituting more
than one-fIfth of a pound sterling, as in
the case of gold dollar of the United
| States.
! The result of this policy. to whatever
| criticism it might be subject because of
the change in the unit OF value, was to
establish fxity of exchange with foreign
countries and restore tho gold basis IN
| Chill. Minister Strobel, in recent care
saws:
''The effects of the deprecated silver
| and paper basis which prevailed in Chill
| from 1878 to the resumption of gold pay
Jnents on June l. 1895, were keenly felt
in foreign exchanges and upon the wages
of labor. Wages advanced slightly dur
ing the long period Of deprecated cur
rency. but at no such rate as to eoJnpen-
sats for the diminished purchasing power
of money"
