among leading nations for free coin

the rigid maintenance of the existing
gold standard as essential to the pres
ervation of our national credit, the re-
demption Of our pnblc pledges and
keeping inviolate our country's hon
or. We insist that all our paper and
silver currency shall be kept at a
parity with gold. The Democratic
party is party Of hard money and
opposed to the legal tender payment
as part of our permanent financial
system, and we therefore favor the
gradual retirement and sanction of all
United States and Treasury notes
under such legislation as will prevent
undue contraction. We hold that the
national credit shall be maintained

The Gold Platform.

Following is the minority rebort of
the Committe on Platform that was
showed under in the Chicago conven-
ton by vote of 628 to 301:
ave, composing minority on reso-
lutions, make this report in respect to
a majority, to which they fail to give
their consent. Some are ill consid-
cred and ambiguously phrased, while
Others are extreme and revolutionary
of the well recognized principles Of
the party. The minority content
themselves with this general express
sion Of their dissent without going IN
to specific statements of the objec-
tlonable contents Of the report Of the
majority. But upon the financial
question, which engages at this time
the chief share Of the public atten-
ton, the views of the majIoity differ
so fundamentally regarding the vital
Democratic doctrine as to demand
distinct statement of what they hold
to as the only just and true expression
of Democratic faith upon this para
mount issue as follows, which is off
cred rs substitute for the financial
plank in the majority report:
ave declare our belief that the free
coinage OF silver and change Of the ex-
listing standard of value BY the United
States, independent of tho action of
other great nations, would not only
imperil our chances, but would re-
tard or entirely prevent the establish
ment OF international bimetallism.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F.J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

What You Should Avoid if You De.
sire TO Preserve Your Sight.
As nature has endowed each one of
us with only one pair of eyes and will
not duplicate them when injured. the
following half score Of 'don'ts' should
not only be indelibly impressed ON our
memories, but be religiously remem-
bered:
DIR. G. Sterling Ryerson, professor of
ophthalmology in Trinity Medical Col
lege, Toronto, says: "Myopia being es-
sentially a condition due to abuse of the
eye, one is constantly obliged to say
dent to patients. 1t occurs to me
that it might be useful to put these pro-
hibitory rules in arhoristic form:
Il. Don't read in railway trains or
In vehicles in motion. .. Don't read
lying down or in a constrained position.
3. Don't read by freight, moonlight
or twilight. 4. Don't read by pickering
gaslight or candlelight. 3. Don't read
books printed on thin paper. 6. Don't
read books which have no space be-
tween the lines. Z. Don't read for more
D
than fifty minutes without stopping,
whether the eyes are tired or not. s.
Don't hold the reading close to the
eyes. 8. Don't study at night, but in
the morning when you are fresh. 10
Don't select your own glasses at the
outset.
1T would almost seem as though
some Of these rules were too obvious tc
require mention, but practical expert
ence shows that most people abuse
their eyes just in the way stated.
I'm short, anything which tends to in
crease the quantity of blood in the organ
favors the increase of the defect, lead

Time should be considered first, and if

will permit, then consider whether the
garment will look well enough when
completed to be satisfactory. Will it
have a shabby, made over look, and, if
SO, will a quantity of new material re-
