THE Harrisburg, Pa, Patriot calls
attention to the fact that this year
the Democratic party is one hundred
years old. 1t began business is 1896,
and has outlived many opposing or
ganizations. The Federal and Whig
parties managed four times to carry
the Presidential election, holding
that office for sixteen years. The Re
publican party has seven times elect
ed it's President. The Democratic
party has carried the country four
teen times in Presidential contests,
and has made its lasting impression
upon the character of the Federal
Government as illustrated in the ac-
cepted Interpretation of it's constitu-
tional powers. There will be no
danger Of the dissolution of the Dem
ocratic party as long as the Republic
shall last; for it is founded upon the
principles which underlie successful
representative government. The
centennial of the Democratic party
will be celebrated this year by defeat
ing the little Napoleon-McKinley-
and restoring the good old constitu-
tional money of our farmers. Let
every Democrat and believer in the
white metal join in the procession.

Sixteen to One.

The Ohio Patriot thinks there ought
to be no misunderstanding about the
ratio that silver bears to gold under
our old coinage laws. Some people
do not know what is meant by 1910 1.
The definition is very simple. Under
our coinage laws prior to 1873 gold
and silver were treated exactly alike
by the government, and both metals
enjoyed free and unlimited coinage.
That is every man who owned mug
net OF gold or pig of silver could go
to the nints and have them coined
into standard dollars. OF course, the
gold and silver dollars were not the
same size nor the same weight. A ra-
ito in weight had been established
between the two metals for hundreds
of years. In France it was 15t to 1,
while in this country it was 16 to 1
from 1902 to 1873, when silver was de-
stroyed as money by legislation. This
ratio of weight between the two pre-
cious metals is 37l4 grains of pure
silver in a dollar and 90 1-5 grains of
gold in dollar. In round numbers
the weight of the silver dollar is the
weight of the gold dollar as 16 to l.
In other words, 16 gold dollars weigh h
as much as silver dollar, or ton of
gold is worth as much as 10 tons of
silver. We speak of this matter as
we do, and explain it in detail, because
we find some intelligent people who
do not understand the ratio business.
For example, business man said to
US few days ago: ''Idon't like your
silver doctrine, you want 16 silver dol
lars coined for every gold dollar
coined and l don't believe that is
right" Well, if that is what is meant
by 16 to the business man is right,
but our explanation above shows that
the business man does not understand
the subject. The history of the
metals shows that about an equal
number of gold and silver dollars
have been coined in this country, and,
in fact the amount of gold and silver
is about equal the world over, at the
ratio in weight of 16 to l. What we
want is to return to the coinage laws
of 1878, and permit gold and silver to
be coined on equal terms at the old
ratio,

There never was a time in the his
tory of the United States when the
masses of the people were called up
on to rally in their own behalf like
the present. A single gold standard
financial system has been expressing
the toiler and the producer for twenty
three years. The curse came at the
hands of the Republican party. tits
sought to be perpetuated by the SER
wants of the money power, who have
assumed leadership in the Democrat
ic party. 1t should be crushed out at
the hands of an irresistible populace
in November. The volume of money
in the United States should be doubl-
ed by the restoration of silver to the
position which it occupied before it
was stricken down by traitorous
handsin in 1878. If this is done, indus
tries will revive, commerce will flour
ish and prosperity will again prevail
in all the land; if this is done, the op
pressive money ring which has been
bleeding the national treasury and
dishonesty appropriating the earn
ings ofhonest toll, will be overthrown;
if this is done the rule of the people
will be substituted for the tyranny
of the money power; if this is done.
hope will again inspire the hearts of
the toiling masses, there will be a
more equitable distribution of the
products of labor, and happy homes,
now desolate from poverty and dis
tress, will characterize the nation; if
this is done, the rule of Wall street,
more accursed than was ever the
governments from Downing street,
will receive a wholesome check; yea,
if this is done, Democracy will be
restored according to the teachings
of Jefferson, its honored apostle, and
will be granted a new lease of power,
to the benefit of the whole human
race.-Chicago Dispatch.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound orimperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
nesss is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

"THE use Of gold only as money
means the shrinkage Of every thing
in this country to a level with that
of the nations of Europe. 1t means
a further decrease in the value OF
real estate; it means a further lower
ing in prices on all kinds of farm pro-
ducts; it means a further decrease in
the value of all kinds of manufacture
ed articles and, above all it means
the lowering of labor to the European
standard. Let gold be the only mon
ey, and it will not be long until it will
be a question with the common peo-
pie, not how to lay up little some
thing for a rainy day but how to pro-
vide for themselves and families from
one day to another. 1t will be an
eternal strife with them to obtain
the bare necessities of life from one
meal to another Thus the Elmore
Independent, whose editor is a Re-
publican speaks. 1t is quite certain
that the st. Louis Republican nation
al convention will declare for the gold
standard, or reinact the platform of
1899, a straddle, but which in reality
is for gold, and tits almost certain that
the Chicago Democratic national
convention will speak for the free
coinage of silver. If these become
realities, such Republicans as the edi-
tor of the independent, and there are
thousands of them, cannot consist
emily vote the Republican ticket this
fall. But will they vote with the
Democrats and for the free coinage oi
silver? 1t is questionable, but if they
do, then free silver wins, and the
white metal will again resume it,
proper place as money.

land nearly frightened John Sherman
into fit by telling him that he much
preferred an outright recognition of
the independence of Cuba with its al
most certain consequence of war, to
a recognition of Cuban belligerency

our commerce. 1t may be that the

on free silver basis and succeeded
in electing the two Congressman.
The Republicans elected their state

which most of the members are
pledged to free silver. The result of
the election is q big surprise to the

will be celebrated on July % next.
The two events were simultaneous,
the furture great port of Lake Erie
taking it's name from General Moses
Cleveland, director of the Connecti-
cut Land Company, who established
the original settlement at the mouth
of the Cuyahoga river. At the be-
ginning of this century Cleveland
could boast of but seven villagers, and
in 1850 only 17,034 townsmen. Her
consolidation with Ohio city, on the
opposite bank of the river in 1864,
aided her development greatly. The
last Federal censes gives her pop
ulation of 261,253 making her the
second city of Ohio and the tenth
city of United States.

More

Curative power is contained in Hood's Is
Sarsaparilla than in any other similar
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. 1t costs the
jobber more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill is required
in its preparation and it combines
more remedial qualities than any 9th
er medicine. Consequently it has a
record of more cures and it's sales are
more than those of any other prepa-
ration. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine to buy because it is an
honest medicine and thousands of
testimonials prove that it does ao-
tually and permanently cure disease.
