MORRISON TALKS OF FINANCES.
Remarks That Indicate Where the Illinois
Statesman Stands.

Statesman Stands.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Till
man, of South Carolina. few days ago
said he did not know enough about Will
lam r. Morrison's position on free silver
to say whether he would be an acceptable
candidate to silver men for the presidency.
Perhaps the following, which the Illinois
statesman said TO an interviewer will
help the South Carolina man TO a de-
cision: II do not believe, and doubt if
anybody does. that deprecated currency
is good thing for labor or any other in
interest. Mr.. Carlisle calls at.
tention to the low wages paid in Mexico
and the silver countries of the east as evil
dence of how silver reduces wages.
"But wages in Mexico were below ours
when their silver dollar was worth as
much anywhere in the world as our gold
dollar This makes the common man be-
lieve that the lower rate of wages in Mex
leo or elsewhere comes OF other causes
than the low value of their silver dollar.
1t would, l think, be absurd to credit
their progress to free silver, yet the fict
remains that two countries which have
achieved marked progress in the last
twenty years have been Japan and Mex
leo, where silver is still the principal coin.
Japan has just won her place among great
nations and the progress of Mexico Is
hardly less remarkable.
"Mr. Carlisle discusses the evil effects
of IL to silver coinage rather than the
good we may expect from the administra-
tion money plan. 1t Is difficult TO keep up
with the administration, it so often moves
on in the direction of the demands of the
thrifty in finance. l would be willing to
take as the Democratic policy or platform
the declaration made in the law repeating
the Sherman act This was voted for by
many so-called silver and anti-silver sena-
tors and members and was approved and
signed by the president during this adj
ministration.
''Such a declaration of purpose best in
dicates the way TO the prosperity and pro-
gress of our people. But any policy under
our government must respond to the
popular will, which should not be ar
bitrarily overthrown. To insure such n
policy counsel should rather be taken of
the peoples representatives than a bunch
of financiers who may be learned in their
craft, but whose counsel may have the
bias Of self-interest." Perhaps the most
significant thing Morrison said was that
he did not consider the gold standard a
sufficient basis for our money.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they a not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucou lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by

lars; free. F. j.. Cheney & o.. ,Toledo,O

In Justice to My Mother.

In last weeks issue of this paper there APP
peared a piece headed Aunt Patsy. The au-
thor of this piece must be a great deal older
thar Aunt Patsy and really lived before the
days OF Christ, and must have been present
when God made man, for they seem TO think
or know that He used finer material for
some than for others, or that He had work
men to make a certain class of people, and
that Aunt Patsy was made by one of those
who never finished his task. If Aunt Patsy
were here today she could class a great many
who before the war, was made of the same
material. The author seems to hin the
railroad has done a favor in taking one so
old and so ignorant and so poverty stricken
from earth. And yet not willing TO leave
her to rest. Oh, me, was this piece wrote for
mother? Did they have no object in view in
this unjust detail of "Aunt Patsey?" Had
she fell and broke her neck would This piece
ever been written? No, no, the author knew
which side of the Kitchen the bread and but
ter was on. The most work "Aunt Patsy"
done away from home was done for the lady
who wrote that long uncalled for piece and
suppose she paid her off in meat skins-at
least we have her word for tilt is "a grand
mistake about her being born in poverty,
and growing up as "a briar of the field" Her
rather owned a good farm-known as the
old Jerry Brown farm. She professed relig-
ion, Joined the Baptist Church and was bap-
tised In big Indian creek when only sixteen
years of age. She never doubted her future
destiny. and always looked back to that day
as a step from Earth to Heaven. They call
her an ignorant woman. 1t is true she had
no learning but II she had been educated,
and made the same use of it, that some liv-
ing today, are doing, IL would nave been
more a curse than a blessing. AS she had been
a citizen of this Town for fifty years it Is
supposed she would be known to more than
one lady OF the town. We are willing to
leave our mother in the lands of q Just God,
who never makes a mistake and ever feel If
we can live the same honest, true life, that
