what Free Coinage Means.

What does s'free coinage" as it is
called, mean? 1t does not mean that the
government would buy any of the sill
yer; not an ounce. The government
would simply receive the silver from its
owner, stamp it and hand it back to
him. Does this create any demand for
silver?
Buckwheat -four is now used to a
limited extent for food. The demand
for buckwheat -four is entirely due to
this fact. Would opening a new buck
wheat -four mill create any demand for
buckwheat? Certainly not, any o
than the reaping and thrashing did.
These are all simply steps in preparing
the supply. The market would still
have to be found in competition with
other kinds of fiour.-Hon. J. T. Nc
Cleary of Minnesota.

The counties of Greenbrier and Mon.
roe and several adjoining counties are
without Republican newspapers, ard
only hear odd side of the money
qaestion-inspects all questions
and that an unfair and untruth-
full side. For example, take the Demo-
cratic papers of Greenbrier and Monroe
They viii publish the names Of every
Republican in the United States, the
State and the county whom they know,
and even those they do not know, who
have come out for free silver. And
they make more noise over each one
than the old blue hen and her mate, the
Shanghai rooster, do over the spring
fruit Of the afoarsaid partners. One
would think q skunk had invaded the
b%arnyard. And forsooth / think that
such is true of the political barnyard.
Why do they neglect to give their read
ers the news about the sound money
Democrats who will meet in Indian
apolis in convention Sept. 2? Why do
they not publish the names of those
Democrats names famous III history, in
craftsmanship, i'll war, IN the party
councils-men of brains and integrity
who are not for Bryan and Populism
Why do they not publish the names of

ate many others, but this is sufficient
to impress any fair minded man that
the above mentioned Popocratic news
papers do not tote fair, even in matters
of news. They want to stampede both
weakened Democrats and Republicans
to free silver. / can anticipate a reply
to this; mo matter what these sound
money Democrats think, they will vote
for Bryan Perhaps they will. But if
they do SO is it not possible that Repub-
leans with free silver tendencies will
vote for Bryan when men who are abso-
lutely opposed to Organism will vote for
Bryan? That would be stigmatizing all
Republicans as fools. AS Abraham
Lincoln said: Zone can't fool all the
people always" / have not as yet
struck a Republican who is fool enough
to play cat to the Democratic monkey.
The election will show whether there
are as many Republican fools as the
Democrats.

Keep Your Nose On.

Workingmen who are being urged to
''vote for free silver to get even with
your employer" should think twice be-
fore trying TO iniure the men for whom
they work. Cutting off his nose to spite
his face is a good joke for a worker,
compared with voting for a policy which
will close the factories and force the
employees into idleness merely for the
sake of hurting the factory owners.
There are O many spiteful working
men in this country, but even if there
were they would be very foolish to
throw themselves out of employment in
order to be revenged on the men who
pay their wages.

POSITION.
He VIII Not Train With the Bryan Wing
Of democracy.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Sept. 21.-
For some time the Popocrats have been
doing all in their power to have ex-Sen-
ator j. N. Camden OF this city openly
declare himself in favor of Bryan and
free silver. The powerful influence the
senator exercises in this state would,
the Popocrats believe, be saved to them
and their cause if he could be prevailed
upon to publicly announce his support
of the Chicago platform. But all eff
forts to have the senator indorse the
Chicago hodge podge have failed utter
ly. He still remains a sound money
man and has, it is said, told several
friends that he will support Palmer and
Buckner and will use all of his infu-
for that ticket.
These statements of Mr.. Camden's
position can be relied upon as authentic.

If there is any truth in the saying that
happiness is the absence of all pain, mem
tai and physical, the enjoyment of it can
only be fouad in heaven. But SO far as the
physical is concerned, it is within easy
reach; at least measurably SO, as far as
cure will go. The sum of human misery in
this line is made up of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which afiict mankind are
easy to reach and as easily cured. There
are none in the whole category, which, if
taken in time, cannot be cured. They
must in some form affiict the nerves, the
bones, the muscles and joints of the
human body. They are all more or less
hurtful and wasteful to the system. St..
Jacobs Oil is made to cure them, to search
out hidden pain spots, and to cure prompt
ly in true remedial and lasting way.
Very, very many have not known happi-
ness for years till they used it, and very
many are putting off cure and happiness
because they don't use it..

The wind is hushed: the darkness grows;
The fainting moon is lost in flight
Death lifts a somber hand and throws
His clouds across the face Of night.
With parted lips and haggard stare,
That strives and strains to pierce the gloom,
Each nation crouches in its lair,
And, breathless, waits the coming doom.

Along the trembling earth they feel
The distant tramp of marching hosts
And hear the smothered clash Of steel.

Or grasp its heR to supplicate.

Among the clouds, on one pale spot.

By that same star she chose her path

Strange, But True, Story From the
Lumber Regions of Southern State
Verified by a Reporter OF the
Greenville Reflector.
The following interview has just
been given our reporter by Mr.. g. A.
Baker, the overseer at the farm Of Colo
mel Isaac A. Sugg, of Greenville, N.
G. 1t will interest anyone who has
ever had typhoid fever. Mr.. Baker
said in part:
81 was living in Beaufort county,
and on the 2d day of October, 1898,
l was stricken down with typhoid
fever. had the best physicians to at
tend me and on the 10Th day of Janu-
ary, 1894, was allowed to get up. I
was emaciated, weak and had no appe-
tite. I could only drag along for a
short distance and would be compelled
to sit down and rest. This continued
for some time, and began to give up
hope of ever getting we'll. I lost my
position in Beaufort county, and, hav-
ing secured one in Pitt county, clerk
ing in a store, undertook it, but was
so weak could not do the work and
had to give it up. The disease settled
in my knees, legs and feet. Twas tax
ing first one kind Of medicine and then
another, but nothing did me any good.
1 was mighty low-spirited. I moved
out to Colonel Sugg's about four or FIVE
months ago and commenced taking
DIR. Williams Pills. I took three a
day for about three months. I began
to regain my appetite in week s time,
and then my weakness began to disap-
pear, and hope sprung up with bless
edness that is beyond all telling. At
the expiration of the three months
was entirely cured and could take my
axe and go in the woods and do as good
a days work as any man. I was
troubled with dyspepsia and that has
disappeared. It is also splendid tonic
for weak people. I say, Mr.. Editor,
God bless DR.. Williams; may he live
for long time; know he will go up
yonder to reap his reward for he has
done wonderful lot of good. Tell
everybody that asks you about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
that if they will come to me can
always satisfy them as to their merits.
I always carry box of pills with me
and when ever feel bad take one. "
We are forcibly struck with the
earnestness of Mr.. Baker and his state
ments may be relied on.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered

Where Do Americans stand7


Having given the above very brief
synopsis of the history of sugar, let
us now look for moment at the posi-
tion of the United States in this indus
try and the possible dangers constantly
surrounding us, particularly on the
Western coast, from importations from
Chinese-made sugar, and realize the
consequence of paying tribute to foreign
labor, foreign capital and foreign ships
in an article placed upon nearly every
table in the land; from the banquet
table of the rich. to the lowly, humble,
uncovered board, serving as table, in
the lowliest cottage of its poorest in
habitant, and deduce, if possible our
remedy in the matter. 1t will be con-
ceded, we think, that the American
workmen, as whole, receive more pay
than corresponding labor in any other
country; are the most prosperous; have
more money to obtain their desires, and
consume more of the necessaries and
luxuries of life, generally speaking,
than those of any other nation, yet it is
a singular fact that in the consumption
of sugar they are behind the English
about IA per cent, the proportion being
about 781 a pounds per capita in Great
Britain, to 591 4 pounds per capita in
the United States. For a long term
the working classes have groaned under

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inf1amed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
