GOLD STANDARD

FACTS.
Tho production of
gold, both In the Unit.
ed States and the
world ut large. Is
steadily increasing.
The total value Of the
worlds yield Of gold
last year was over
$500, 900, 000, q far
greater amount than
over before in history.
Our present money
system Is that Of all
the great commercial
nations and gives no
fuvors to lenders as
against borrowers.
The money gatherers
OF tho old world con
only get our money by
giving us goods In cx-
change. If We use the
goods. we have no
cause for complaint
because we part with
our money.
Lower prices mean
cheapened production
that Is, goods pro.
duccd by less toll OF

Of being q national

ing, for it enables the
masses to get the neo,
essarics Of life easier
than If prices were
high.
Tho price OF cotton,
one Of our great sta
pies, advanced last
year over 80 per cent
under tho gold stand
ard. This proves that
1t Is not the measure
Of values which fixes
prices.
Tho adoption Of free
coinage at 10 to !,
which is what the
Tellcritos declare to
be "b 1 IN @ TIA ! ism, "
would put this coun'
try ut onco ON the sill
yer standard and cut
down the basis Of our
money one.half by
driving out OF circula-
tion $6250O0, 100 In

Its population. We i'm

Of $500, 900, 900, all Of

Tho talk Of one set Of
people as consumers

nonsense. All men
and all nations both
produce and consume

"The price OF human

works for himself as

that the returns to Ia

Tho eyes Of the
American people arc
not so blind that they
cannot see through
the sophistries and
Misrepresentation Of
the silver mining
camps. The men who
believe in Justice arc
not likely to unite
with agitators who are
striving for the unjust

who seek Reputation

Asked to Go Backward.

Suppose some party should arise at
tributing the hard times among the
farmers to the use of seeders and self
binders and thrashing machines and at
tempt to convince them that to be pros
porous they must "demOnetlze' all these
implements and again scatter seed with
their hands from bag slung over their
shoulders, 20 back to the cradle or, bet
ter. to the sickle in harvesting and the
fail in thrashing. Would not the farmer
of today say that the world moves for
ward, not backward; that it is con-
stantly striving to tighten, not to in
crease manual labor? Suppose some
other party should come into existence
that would bemoan the hard times, de-
clare that the use of railways is the sole
cause and demand their "demonetiza'
ton" and u return to the freight wagon.
And yet it is precisely such a retro
grade movement as any OF these sup
posed cases would be that our silver
friends are proposing. But no PROPOSE
ton to go backward, opick up discarded
tools, to add to the burdens of exchange
will ever be accepted by the mass OF

Imaginary Diseases.

There are more hypochondria,cs than
is commonly thought, but they are
now chiefly concerned about their kid
neys. The number of persons who
fancy they have incipient Bright's
disease or diabetes is astonishing.
Most of them are too Simid to undergo
an examinatic fearing to learn that
they have only a short time to live.
The unnecessary suffering which they
endure in secret is appalling. Instead
Of submitting to an examination which
would, perhaps, in nine cases out Of
ten, result in a verdict Of pure nervous
debility, they diet themselves accord
ing to varying health rules and alter
nate their hours of anguish with hours
of hope.
It is harmless when the victim of
imaginary disease merely refrains
from the pleasant things Of life, but
when he applies positive remedies of
the propriety kind he works mischief
with himself. Abstinence will not
hurt him, but when he begins to make
a drug store of his stomach his symp-
toms are aggravated and he fancies
that every feeling of discomfort from
the abuse of drugs is symptom Of
organic disease. Then his life is a
burden to himself and his friends.
The rules Of good health are few
and simple, and perhaps the most i'm
portant is not to bother 81 much about
the health. It is an alluring and it
soon becomes an absorbing thing, this
constant study of ones transitory
aches. Everything else oon sinks
into minor Importance. Life is pre-
carious in the most favorable circum-
stances, and it is folly to grow miser-
able overremote dangers against which
it is impracticable to make provision:
We should do our best with a cheer
full heart, assured that the most direct
and comfortable road to health is to
avoid excuses in hygiene as in every
thing else.--New York Commercial

She Waited Fifty Years.

Topeka, Kas., April4-Ar ROMANTIC
wedding took place at Sedan yester-
day, in which Squire Turner Of Gedarr
vale, aged %, and Amanda Gillespie.
of Mclean County, Illinois, aged 63,
were the contracting parties. Byap-
provement these old people met at
Sedan and were ,narfie,l by Rev. I'D.
McBrian il the presence of Mr.. Iur-
ner's children, grandchildren and
great-grand chrildren. Nearly50years
ago the bride knew the groom in Hi.
nois. Although q young girl, she.
formed an attachment for Turner,
which lasted all these years, and, al
though Turner had. removed to the
West and married another, his present
bride did not become discouraged; but
waited faithfully for the time when he
would be again free to return TO his
first love. Those who are familiar
with the case and who. remember the
love early plighted in Illinois, say IL
is the most remarkable on record.
Two months ago Squire Turner Wreta!
the first letter to Miss Gillespie. The
proposition of marriage Wa aud
accepted without delay or ceremsny,
The happy couple are now comfoftable

Cedarvale where they are surrounded

family.--7He Republic.

such a charm about these waters, that
they cannot keep away from them.
But I am going home to my better

my garden, and in hers, too, Of course,
for 'the winter is over and gone.
The time for the singing Of birds has
come, and the voice of the turtle dove
is heard in the land"
