THE WOR DS OF PATRIOTS.
If government created a debt with a
certain amount of money IN circulation,
and then contracted the money volume
before the debt was paid, it Is the most
heinous crime government could COM

coin.
! believe that banking institutions are
more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies. Already they have
raised up money aristocracy that has
set the government at defiance. The is
suing power should be taken from the
banks and restored to the government
and people, to whom 1t properly belongs.
Let banks exist, but let them bank on
coin or treasury notes. -Thos. Jefferson.
The government ought not to delegate
this power (of issuing money! If 1t could.
1t is too great a power to be trusted to
any banking business. whatever. The
people are not safe when such q COM
pany has such power. The temptation
is too great, the opportunity too easy to
put up and bring down prices, to bring
the whole community on its knees before
these Neptunes, who preside over the
dux and retlux of paper money. Stock
are their playthings, with which they
gamble with as little secrecy and less
morality than the common gamblers. -

The county convention has'en held
and resulted as generally anticipated. But
little interest was taken in the caucuses or
convention, except by the certain; element
of this city which has made itself familiar
to the state at various times, and this ele.
ment therefore, had no active opposition in
carrying out its entire program yesterday.
The condition is not new; It has been tried
before. and is and was we'll understood; it
is, therefore, needless for the Herald to
again point out just what the action means
to the republicans of Grand Forks county
and of the state.
The above from the Grand Forks Her.
aid belittles the people of Grand Forks
county, who, by large majority, pre-
ferred Bulge for governor; and is about

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it 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 con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoontul 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces Of thesystem.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,
