PRICES AND WAGES.
GOLD is NOT APPROACHING AND WA

Facts That Should Step the senseless
Howling Against Gold-Increased Out
put OF the Yellow Metal VIII stop Its
Upward Tendency.
The following statistics and diagram
Of prices, wages, etc, ought to stop the
bowling Of those who are shouting
against gold because 1t is approaching
at some rapid rate and thus putting
money into the pockets Of the gold
bugs. Tie truth is that it is practically
stationary in value as compared with
all labor products and that it has depre-
ciated only when used as a measure Of
value Of that most important Of all com
modities-labor How this works to the
advantage Of labor is shown by the rap
idly increasing purchasing power Of
wages The greatly increased output Of
gold in 1894 and 1895 will probably en-
tirely stop the slight tendency to appre-
citation and perhaps check the downward
course Of prices Of labor products. This
would be Of doubtful benefit, as it is
perhaps best for mankind that prices Of
most manufactured articles should de-
cline somewhat owing to constantly i'm
proved methods Of manufacture. 1t is
only fair that consumers should receive
a share Of the benefits Of cheapened pro-
duction.

There is nothing in the world so good to
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Testimonials by thousands from all classes
of people have been published, showing its
marvellous effects in making the sick well,
the weak strong, and now our clergymen
have become interested and for the peo-
pies good urge them to use this wonderful
cure, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, in order to get well, for
they are convinced that it is the most val
liable medicine in the world to-day.
Rev. E. j. Miller, of Albion, N. Y, the
eminent divine, who represents the Bos-
ton fremont Temple Society as missionary
to India, was broken down with owe work,
liver trouble and malaria, and is now on
vacation, in search of health, has found
both health and strength in the use of DR..
Greene's Nervura. He says:
81 returned to America broken in health,
with bad catarrb, neuralgia and stomach
and liver trouble. The whole top of my
head felt numb, so that at times l was rob-
bed of my thinking powers, and could not
do any work with ease. Having consulted
a number of doctors and taken their medi-
cines, received no relief whatever.
81 was induced to try DR.. Greene's
Nervura, which worked like charm and
produced the longed-for results. My head
and whole system is now clean from ca
tarrh, neuralgia and fever l can now
study and do my work with satisfaction
In fact, feel like a new man in health
and strength.

Consider Risley, 65.year-old farmer of
Vernon, Ct, was buncoed out of $4,000
Saturday by the tin box game. Two young
men negotiated to buy his farm, and in
some way induced him to draw $4,000 from
the bank at Rockville and place it in a box
with Yale lock, which they had. He
thought he kept his eye on the box, but the
swindlers, as usual, made the change and
left him an empty one. After the strangers
had left, Mr. Risley became suspicious and
carried his box to the sheriff, who opened
it. 1t contained two newspapers and the
following type written letter: "Dear Friend:
Inside you will find the key to this box,
and we advise you to take it to quiet
spot and open it, and then remember never
to trust two greenhorns again. We advise
you never to gamble again, and not to say
anything about this to anyone, as they will
only laugh at you and then everyone will
know what you have been doing. We are
now going to retire and lead quiet life
and reform in every way"

wick, Vt; Rev. Henry Langford, of Yves
ton, w. Va, and many other well-known
ministers of the Gospel in all parts of the
country, all of whom have been cured by
this great remedy, enthusiastically urge
the people to use DR.. Greene's Nervura by
all means, if they wish to be sure of a cure,
for health and strength always follow its
use.
Remember that DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is no common
patent medicine, but the prescription of
! one of our best-known physicians, the dis
covery of DR.. Greene, of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, the most successful special
list in curing nervous and chronic diseases,
hence the medicine is of necessity per-
fectly adapted to cure. DR.. Greene also
can be consulted free, personally or by

Brutal Assault by Rejected sutton.

A brutal assault on Miss Edith Hewitt
of Rutland by jealous lover has just come
to light. Miss Hewitt, who was riding
home with young Swede on the road lead
ing from Pittsford to Rutland, met team
going in the opposite direction with two
men in the wagon. One of these men
proved to be one Butler, her rejected sutton.
He jumped out of the wagon and first made
for the Swede, whom he placed in charge
of the man that accompanied him. He
then pulled Miss Hewitt, it is claimed out
of her carriage and kicked her in the back
and also choked her until her neck became
black and swollen. Butler and his friend
then drove off leaving the girl in charge of
the Swede. The Swede got the girl to her
home the best he could, and on examina-
ton it was found that her injuries were of
a serious nature. In fact two large abcesses
have formed in her neck and back. Butler
fed to Randolph, where he was arrested.
If Miss Hewitt is well enough to testify
Butler will be tried at the present term of
county court.

granted divorce from his wife, Jennie NJ.
Senton, on the ground of infidelity. This
is the elimination of a sensational case.
The correspondent was John B. Quinn, a
young man of %, who lived opposite the

that DIR. Senton warned him to leave town.
The first time that Quinn returned to Rut-
land Dr. Senton chased him on the street
and fred upon him with revolver, but
without effect. Quinn Immediately left
town, but afterward letters which he sent
Mrs. Senton fell into the doctors hands,

New York. She and the young man were
found at hotel in Far Rockaway recently,
and divorce proceedings were at once in
stituted. Mrs. Senton offered no defence.

A Sound Money Lesson.

Water Commissioner Parker of Woburn,
Mass, ex-secretary of the Democratic city
committee, is still a Democrat, but he will
not support G. F. Williams, neither will he
vote for Bryan. A few days ago he received
from his sister, who is the wife of sea
captain in Java, check on China for $500.
1t was after the caucus that Commissioner
Parker went to the bank to get his check
on China cashed. The bank official gave
him 1904 When Commissioner Parker
ascertained that China's silver check for
5000 was good for but 5000 in America,
he sat himself down in quiet corner and
thought. The longer he cogitated the less
he admired the Chicago platform. Now
his former stiff-backed colleagues are ask
ing if he is backsliding.

There is nothing peculiarly sacred about
silver. 1t is mined for profit just as coal,
iron, copper and petroleum are mined. Min
ing it is business just as legitimate and
entitled to exactly the same protection as
are these other sorts of mining. There is
nothing more than this in it. There is no
reason why the owner of an iron mine and
the miners who labor in it should receive
for their product only what it is worth in
the market, and be required at the same
time to guarantee to the silver mine owner
and miner not less than double what their
product is or can by any possibility be
made worth.

County Treasurer Short in Hts Accounts
100000.

George H. Morrison, treasurer of Rens-
salaer county, N. Y, on Saturday trans
ferred to his bondsmen real estate and Sc
curities of the par value of 100000, and
estimated to be worth not less than 40
cents on the dollar. Mr.. Morrison's ac-
counts show that there is due to the county
nearly 100000. He was arrested later in
the day, charged with Incorporating
funds due the city of Troy. Mr.. Morrison
is As years old and has lived in Troy since
he was six. He was bank cashier for
many years, but studied law at night and
was admitted to the bar in 1885. He en-
tered politics two or three years ago and
ran against Mr.. Black, the pi ,sent Repub-
lican candidate for governor, when the lat
ter was nominated two years ago. Mr..
Morrison did not enter upon the duties of
county treasurer until last January. He
is the second Republican to hold the office
in % years.
