In each Of the preceding sixteen National
Conventions of tho Democratic party It's
representatives have had either friendly
Administration in Office to commend, or
hostile Administration in power to de-
nounce. The delegates of today's Conven-

they are reluctant to denounce 1t. Never

VA, :th a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
Iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputa BILE druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skil1ful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and s. 'ves most general satisfaction.

The knowledge Came Too Late.

A member of the military band at
certain barracks went to the surgeon
recently with a long face and plain
tive story about a sore throat.
Sore throat, en?" said the surgeon,
pleasantly; '1et me see. On, that's not
so bad. A slight irritation, nothing
more. You'll be all right in a day or
two. / think you had better take no risk
of renewing the trouble by using your
throat, though, so [ will recommend you
for two weeks leave"
Armed with the surgeons certificate,
the bandsman obtained two weeks
leave.
The two weeks had just come to an
end when he met the surgeon on the
parade ground.
The bandsman saluted. The surgeon
recognized the face and stopped.
"HoW's your throat?" he asked pleas
antly.
It's quite we'll, SIR was the reply.
That's good" said the surgeon.

ParadoxiCal Discovery.

The paradoxical discovery that the
speed of a sailing vessel may be in
creased by perforating its sails is
claimed by Captain Vasallo, an Italian
mariner. He suppOses that the fixed
cushion of air filling up the hollow of an
inflated sail lessons the effect of the
wind, and he has sought to prevent the
collecting of this cushion by making a
number of holes in the canvas. Several
trials, made in all weathers, have given
surprising results. In a light wind a
vessel made knots with ordinary
sails, and knots with perforated sails
in a fresh breeze Z and Sa knots re-
spectively, and in a strong wind s and
10 knots. The ships value would be in
creased one-fifth-its trips of five weeks
being reduced to four weeks-if the in
creased speed can be sustained through
out a long voyage.

rHE c's OF rHE sILvER QUESTION.

THE A B c's OF THE SILVER QUESTION.
Money is the measure of value, says sil-
yer ''crank" in the Atlanta Constitution.
This is its highest function. BY this mean
it measures value Of all property, just ike a
bushel measures quantity.
The government regulates these measures
by law.
In quantity measures, the law says 2,I5o-
42-Ioo cubic inches is bushel
In value measure, it says 25,S grains Of
gold IS dollar.
The government may change the law and
say 4,4oo cubic inches is bushel.
In 1850, A owes B debt of 1000 bush
els Of wheat, the 2,I5o 42-I5o cubic inch
measure, and the debt is due in 1890. and
A wants to pay, but finds that since he made
the debt the law has been changed, and the
bushel he has to pay holds 1900 cubic inches.
Who will say great injustice has not been
done A? SO A becomes crank, and B Z
gold bug, do you sec?
The measure of value may increase, too.
lis value IS enlarged or decreased by the
common rule Of supply and demand.
Ifyou decrease your measure of value (the
dollar you do it by increasing their number,
i, e. the primary dollar.
II you increase your measure Of value
YOU do so by decreasing their numbeE i. d The
primary dollar
Piior 70 1873 wehad silver and gold as pr
mary dollars, After 1873 gold only.
Bimetallism, i. E. silver and gold both as
primary money, gave us, approximately SIS
per capita before 1873.
In 1873 silver was demohetized and when
its function was destroyed as primary money
gold only was left, and So per capita is our
primary money today in gold.
by this reduction from SIS to So the meas.
