seas, and has brought about the condi-
ton of which she boasts, that her trade
follows the flag.
That is sound Republican doctrine.
The restoration of the American marine
by reason of this discriminating protec-
ton, means the putting of money into
the National Treasury, not the drawing
of it out to pay promotive bounties after
the Democratic fashion. It means the
expenditure at once Of some $500, ,OO0,-
600, according to the most conservative
estimates, in ship building, and that
means in turn the promotion of all in
dustries which enter into the fitting and
sailing of a ship, and touches nearly
every productive industry in the land.
We now send abroad $500, ,O0O,O 900 each
year to pay for the carriage of American
that will then be kept at home and paid
to American ship-owners sailors, ship
builders and into all industries contrib
u4ng to ship building.
we DIE Wtdh QpOu the seas VI Tie
world, and will SO remain, if this Re-
publican policy is not adopted. 1t is
worth more to us than silver, it is of
greater interest than gold, for it means
besides restored trade, National i'm
portance abroad, and respect and pro-
lection of our citizens in foreign lands.
To-day of all the ships from the high
seas that enter the great harbors of the
country, seven-tenths carrying Ameri-
can foreign commerce and American
mails and passengers, are under foreign
flags.

The Yreka Journal is astonished
at the frantic endeavors of the Democ-
racy to avoid explanation or discussion
of responsibility of the party for the
mistakes it has made under the pres
ent Administration. The party in 1892
declared the protective policy of the
Republican party "a fraud upon the
American people," and now that the
Republican party again advances it,
it declares there is nothing In it; there
is no issue about it," and then pro-
ceeds to abuse the Administration that
has stood squarely upon the platform
the party made for it. But these things
should not surprise the Journal" 1t
is essentially characteristic of the party
to squirm out when cOrnered.

Those Useful Conduits,

The kidneys and bladder sometimes be-
come torpid and weak from unascertain-
able causes. When this occurs, their dis

perfectly performed, and certain debris,
which is the result of natural bodily waste
and decay does not escape as it should,
but remains to corrupt the blood and de-
yelop poisonous humors and dangerous as
well as painful diseases. 1t is one of the
beneficent effects of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to gently stimulate the urinary
organs. and prevent them from lapsing
into q state of inactivity, always provoca-
tive of their infiammatory degeneration
and decay. How much better, then, is 1t
to adopt this mild diuretic as means of
inciting them to action, than to incur the
danger of this destruction. To expel from
the system waste matter through the
arouse the stomach and liver, are among
the chief uses Of this valuable remedy.

WHEAT TAKES
A BIG JUMP
Exciting Scenes on the Chicago Board
Of Trade, Caused by Bull
Reports.
SAN FRANCISCO AND LONDON
Add 70 the Excitement-The Markets
Nervous and Fluctuations Rule the
Day, Which Closed with an Ad-
vance Of Two Cents.

Chicago. Sept. 50.-It was first re-
ported from Liverpool today that the
wheat market was quiet and unchang-
ed. and such a steadlness there. after
the weakness developed by this market
yesterday. indicated strength abroad
that the crowd was not prepared for.
The effect was marked. The opening OF
December was from 665s to s75l, compar-
ed with 66Aaa at the close yesterday,
and II sold Immediately at 6TKc. But
such a considerable jump as this was
more than the average speculator could
stand, and their action took the form
Of selling good deal Of wheat. causing
a reaction to 6ss,c. They received some
encouragement from the northwest re-
ceipts, which were 631 cars against 900
last year. This, however was a great
falling OF from yesterday That was all
the declines such selling occasioned,
however, and as soon as the tide be-
gan to turn the bullish sentiment set
in again with redoubled force. The later
Liverpool cables reported wheat from
y to Id higher; this put the seal on the
change Of sentiment from bearishness
on the night before to the pronounced
bullishness which marked the session
today. San Francisco added 10 the
fever raging in the pit By wiring that
foreigners were buying everything Of
fered and at two cents above yester-
days ruling price. A great deal more
Of a sensational bulllsh character was
passed around among the spectators,
the consequence of all Of which was that
the price Of December wheat had risen
TO SSA before u O'Clock.
New York wired that Liverpool was
excited, higher, and with buyers at the
advance. and that wheat in London
was higher than at any time since 1891.
The excitement in the Liverpool market
which has always been regarded as the
north pole Of Interchangeable frigidity,
was perhaps the chief cause Of the
burning desire for wheat which the
rise OF 2Ac per bushel exempllfed. The
market continued very nervous during
the last hour and fluctuations were fire.
quent During the last twenty minutes
there was a sharp break. due to urgent
realizing, and wheat closed at SIS for
September and October, and 6sls for De-
cember.

Ask him why the United States has a

Ask him why the United States has
more silver in circulation than any sill

world.
Ask him why, If the ratio between
gold and silver can be fixed by law,
that ratio has constantly tluctuated
since men began to keep written rec
ords of business transactions, never be-
ing the same from one year to another,
and hardly the same from one day to
the next, in spite of prolonged and ear
nest efforts of powerful governments to
maintain double standard of value
based on gold and silver.
Ask him why there has been differ
ence between the value of gold and sill
yer, weight by weight, since mankind
began the use of both as money.
Ask him why, II the law can regu-
late the ratio between gold and silver,
1t does not set 1t at to l, thus making
the two metals equal in value, weight
