Many and various are the discussions of
we've seen have no aspirations toward the
emancipation of their sex from any yoke
except the burdensome yoke of i'll health.
They all seem to think-and think rightly
that their proper field is their home, and to
work faithfully in this field she must be
strong and hearty. Care is peculiarly a
woman's heritage. But it was not the "new
woman" or any other kind of woman that
we started out to talk about. 1t is "man
in the case" this time, and man, too, that
thinks he is the newest kind of "new
man."
From what he tells us, he has good cause
to think so. There is no comparison between
years ago. But let the following speak for
itself. We published few weeks ago
statement of the miraculous cure of Mr.. J.
M. Foster, of Carter's Creek, now one of the
Herald's men, from locomotor ataxia "a dis
ease said to be incurable), by the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The account was read by numbers of peo-
pie who were eye-witnesses of his bodily suffer-
ing and who know what Mr.. Foster stated to
be true beyond peradventure of a doubt;
it was read by others, also, who believe it
just the same as if they, too, had seen all, be-
cause Mr.. Foster is well known over the
country to be man of unimpeachable vera
city.
So strong is his belief in the DIR. Will
liams' Pills, he has influenced q number of
other people to use them, and all have be-
came as new persons.
One of the number is young u In of
Southport, Maury County, Tennessee. Mr..
n. f. Murphy. He is only twenty-onc years
old, and being of rather delicate constitu-
ton, has been afflicted the greater part of
his life.
Young Murphy says, he verify believes
that very few people of any age or cline
have been called upon to endure the bodily
suffering which he has undergone
In an interview with the Herald, he told
us the following, which we give in his own
words:
Five years ago I was attacked with q
severe spell of la grippe, which affected me
before me, / gradually grew better until |
considered myself nearly well, when in
September following / was Frustrated by an
attack of biliocsness.
II took the medicine administered by our
family physician and was soon on foot again,
though with large amount of malaria in
my system. Being in low state of health.
/ was troubled all winter with dreadful
colds and coughs.
"The following spring I was again at
tackled with another severe case of bilious
ness, and only rallied in part from this spell
when, at the suggestion of some of my friends,
/ resorted to various patent medicines for
relief, but without satisfactory results. The
malaria continued. and there was no end
to my taking cold, which at last began to
settle on my left lung which was weak, in
asmuch as it had undergone the terrible eff
fects of an abscess when | was quite small.

worse until May, 1894.

H. Y. KIRKPATRICK,
Editor and Proprietor
/ SENATOR MITCHELL.

The following interview written
out by Senator Mitchell himself,
and furnished to the Portland Dai-
" Sun, in which paper it appeared
on Tuesday, June Is, 1895.
Senator do you still adhere to-
your views on the silver question,
as frequently expressed by you in
your speeches in the senate and in
various journalistic interviews?n
"Most assuredly: So far from
having become weakened in the
faith, / have, by further careful
study and investigation to the
question, become more fully con.
WINGED than ever that views | have
heretofore advocated on the none
tary subject are correct, and in line
with the best interests of all classes
of all the people and the real phys.
ical development and business
prosperity Of the country. I am
unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard. /, in the language
Of the last national republican
platform, demand the use of both
gold and silver as standard money;
not gold merely as STANDARD money,
and silver as token money or sub.
sidiary coin but both gold and sill
yer as standard money, as stated in
the platform. In other words, we
must have no limit on one metal
either in respect to coinage, the le-
gal tender function or debt-paying
power, that is not imposed on the
other, nor must any legislative rec
ognition be withheld from one that
is accorded the other, and, there
fore, as the coinage of gold is free
and unlimited, so must be the coin
age of silver. As gold is by legis-
lative enactment money of ulti-
mate redemption, so, too, must
silver be endowed by law with the
like function. The coinage, how
ever, must be ratio fixed by law
the precise means by which
such ratio has always been fixed
not by commerce. But for the fact
that it would necessitate the re-
coinage Of all our silver dollars,
| should favor the fixing of the
ratio by law at 161 to 1; as it is,
however, ! am decidedly in favor
Of maintaining the existing ratio
of 16 to l."

If the American people are
foolish enough to uphold the gold
standard, they should then urge
congress to pass law compelling
the farmers to raise no cereal but
wheat. Why should not this
country be on a "wheat standard"
the same as on a gold standardW
One is as reasonable as the other.

This is a campaign of education,
as the republicans tell us. In
what are the people to be educat-
ed? In the advantages of the
tariff and of a gold standard? We
suppose this is the line of educa-
tion. There are but two ways of
teaching the ignorant-by study
ing the opinions Of others, and by
individual experience. Every day,
hour and minute for many long
years, the people have been learn
ing by individual experience of the
advantages and disadvantages of
high tariff and the gold standard.
Hit is true that experience is the
best teacher, then it must follow,
that the people have had the very
best education that can be given
to them. What have they learn
ed2 They have learned that times
have been getting harder, money
dearer, the products of their labor
cheaper, but little demand for
labor, farms mortgaged, homes
sold, families in want. They see the
gaunt form of poverty, misery and
want shadowing the homes of the
people, while wealth, happiness
and plenty abound in the homes Of
the few--the poor getting poorer
and the rich getting richer. These
are the truths that have been
chisled into their memory by the
hand Of experience. But. all of
this, the work Of years, is now to
be nndone by the scattering of
millions Of pamhhlets, written by
the paid attorneys Of trusts and
corporations. These high salaried
agents Of Wall street tell the
people Of the many advantages
that should come from the gold
standard, but the experience Of |
years tell the people of the disad-
vantages that have come from this
curse. Your own poverty, and the
poverty of your neighbor is a
ceaseless but sad reminder that
you and your neighbors cannot
hope for anything from the two.
