SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULArOR-don't
forget to take Il. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it IS SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGu-
lATOR. You'll find the RED z on every
package. Look for it.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BRYANyS
SPEECH.

The New York papers have over
done it. Before he went 70 New York
they declared that Mr.. Bryan was an
orator, gifted with eloquence that
suited q political convention where
statesman-lille argument was not tx
pected. They united in predicting that
he would fire the ignorant and superb
cial with enthusiasm, but was incapa-
BILE of an able, sustained argument.
1t would have been an easy matter
for Mr.. Bryan 10 have discarded his
manuscript and to have caused his
fourteen thousand hearers to make the
building resouud with hurrahs. If
he had been seeking a purely local eff
feet, this would have been Mr.. Bryan's
course. He was addressing himself,
however, to the seventy million people
in America. He knew that an off-hand
political argument would be printed
to suit the taste of every gold paper
in the country, and that his every ut
terance would be twisted to misrep-
resent his position. He deliberately
chose, in his formal address accept
ing the nomination, to forego what
ever advantage might be derived by
an eloquent plea for votes, for COM
prehensive and able argument defend
ing and enforcing the position Of the
advocates of the free coinage of silver.
The New York World with a spirit
of judicial fairness makes comment
that will strike every unprecedented
man who hears it as a true criticism:
1T was very able speech, log
zeal in arrangement, admirable in
spirit, and strongly reasoned,
clearly and cleverly expressed. We
do not think there is another free
silver advocate in the country who
could write so able or SO effective
a plea for his cause as was that of
Mr. Bryan
The account of the Cooper Union
speech of Lincoln, then new man to
New York, in Nicolay and Hays life
of Lincoln, might have been written
as descriptive of Mr.. Bryan's effort:
IF any part of the audience
came with the expectation of hear
ing the rhetorical fireworks of a
western stump speaker of the half
horse, half-alligator' variety they
met novelty Of an unlocked for
llind.In Lincoln's entire address he
neither introduced an anecdote nor
essayed a witticism; and the first
half of it does not contain even an
illustrative figure or a poetical
fancy. 1t was the quiet, search
ing exposition of the historian,
and the terse, compact reasoning
of the statesman, about an abstract
principle of legislation,in language
well nigh as restrained and color
less as he would have employed in
arguing a case before court. Yet
such was the apt choice of words,
the easy precision of sentences, the
simple strength of propositions,
the fairness of every point he as
sumed, and the force of every con-
clusion he drew, that his listeners
followed him with the interest and
delight child feels in its easy mas
terry of plain sum in arithmetic"

DISHONEST METHODS For lion
EST MONEY.

After drumming Richmond for weeks
the so-caIled s'sound money Democrats"
have ralzed together 700 names of anti
Bryan men, and printed them with a
great flourish Of trumpets. The Rich
mond Dispatch analyses the list show
ing that there are names of some
men who are not in the habit of voting
the Democratic ticket in Presidential
elections" and the Dispatch lis quite
sure that many persons who signed
the lists did so, not because of any
desire to see Mckinley elected, but be-
cause their business environments al
most compelled them to sign"
This cannot be termed the criticism
of the wild silver press" The Dis
patch is a Democratic paper that
doubted the wisdom of free coinage,
but it accepted the party declaration
in good faith and is not engaged in
saying "How art thou, my brother?''
while stabbing the party under the
fifth rib.
The Dispatches criticism shows one
dishonest method of managing the
"honest money" campaign.

IT PROMOTES PEACE AND GOOD
WILL.

Rev. John f. White is authority for
saying that here in North Carolina
free silver is bringing the members
of the churches together, healing diff
ferences, and making men more
brotherly and neighborly.
In Virginia, according to the Nor
folk Landmark, Capt. Mccarthy and
Col. W. C. Elan, both advocates of free
silver, who had noS been on good terms
for years, buried the Ratchet at a big
silver meeting which both of them ad-
dressed.
The preachers VIII do well TO cut
this paragraph out and read 1T twice
when some gold man appeals to their
selfish cupidity by telling them that
free silver would cut down the pur-
chasing power of their salaries.

mALsER,s UNIQUE PLATEoRM.


Before leaving Raleigh yesterday,
the Honorable ZebHlon Vance Walser,
of the county of Davidson, made a
declaration of his position that shows
he is not made out of common clay,
but that his Michigan education put
thoughts in his head that would be
called wheels by unkind critics.
II am for Mckinley personally. / am
free silver man and think voting for
Mckinley is the surest way to secure
free silver" is the Delphic utterance
of the Davidson county would-be At
torney-General.
There are hundreds of gold Demo
Gratis in the country, lead 10y the New
York Sun and such so-callcd Demo
cratic papers, who are supporting Me-
Kinley because the platform upon
which he was nominated declares in
favor of the gold standard, and be-
cause in his recent speeches Mr.. Nc
Kinley promises to continue the gold
standard, if elected.
Senator Vance was fond Of illustrat-
ing the position of men of the Walser
stripe by relating this story:
THE moon you see yonder is two
thousand and fifty-three miles across,
and one eigbty-eighth as heavy as the
world" said noted astronomer to an
unlettered countryman, as they were
looking up into the heavens.
The countryman did not like to con
tradict the scientist, but said: "That
may be so, but it has durn poor
way OF showing it."
If the Populists are all fools, as the
McKinleyites believe, Mr.. Walser may
make them think he is for silver

Mr.. John Sherman, upon being ask
ed whether the free coinage of silver
would raise the price Of farm products,
replied Undoubtedly. The New
York Tribune, after arguing for a
month to mechanics not to vote for
Bryan because it would increase the
cost of what they buy, now seeks to
declare that the farmer would not get
more for his products than now. These
gold bugs ought at least to hum the
same tune.
