the BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

IS SIMMONS LIVER REGULAToR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. 1t also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS

difference. Take it in powder or in liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the

ON THE DEFENSIVE.

If Bryan were good political general
he would not have allowed himself to be
put on the defensive before a half-dozen
shots had been fired. He started out bold
and defiant enough, but for a fortnight
nearly all his speeches have been efforts
to explain that the Chicago platform is
not hostile to the business interests of the
country. He appears to be DESTROYS that
the country should not have any anxiety
on account of the radical departure his
declaration of principles takes from the
old beaten path.
But, unless his platform does mean dan
ger, why should he feel called upon to as
sure the country that he would be con-
sentative President? The fact of the mat
ter is the Chicago platform means Alt
geIdism, and BRYAN now sees that expla-
nations and apologies are necessary to as
sure the people that he is not nearly so
bad as the platform pictures him. He
should have SO announced himself before
he started East-"to the enemy's coun-
try" as he put it-for it will be hard for
him to make the people believe that he is
friendly to all sections of the country.
But it is too late now. He may explain
and apologize until doomsday.. By his

THE AMERICAN FARMER.

The reasons why American farmers are
making no money are not many. In TACT,
there are Just two reasons. In the hrst
place the production of wheat in Russia.
rose from f69,0O0, 900 bushels in 1891 to
366, DOC. 600 in 1894, and wheat production
in Argentina increased in the same period
from $1,000, 600 to $4,000, COO. In the sec
ond place, in ratio to the increase in wheat
production in other countries have our
farmers met with competition in the food
markets of Europe; that is to say, Russia
and Argentina have a large surplus OF
wheat every year which they throw upon
the markets of the old country, and the
cost of production being less il these
countries and the anxiety of their farmers
to MAKE prompt sales inducing them to
secure the preference by lowering prices,
it results in keeping values down TO
their profit line, which is below what
American farmers can sell at to return
profit.
Now, the American farmer has two rem
edies for the disadvantage under which he
labors. He can successfully compete with
Russian and Argentina farmers by con-
forming to their way of living and reduc-
ing the wages of the farm labor to the
schedule of those countries. As for him
self he will have to scorn all social rela-
tons; m axe it the duty of his life to devote
all his time between daylight and dark to
his fields; have no horses or vehicles on
the farm other than those required to till
the soil; have no clothing other than
''work clothes; have no "day off, have
none of the modern house conveniences
have, in fact, nothing but life of toll and
coarse food. That is the only way he can
successfully compete with the farmer of
Russia and Argentina IN the markets OF
Europe, and in this connection We desire
to remind the American farmer that he has
no market other than the European mar
ket to seek buyers for his surplus.
The other remedy the farmer has for the
disadvantages under which he labors is
to help the wage-earner establish a sys-
tenn of customs duties which shall increase
the number of home industrial plants to
the point where it will require all the sur
plus of his farm to feed the producers of
goods and wares. II he shall do that the
farmers of Russia and other countries will
not bother him in the markets of Europe,
for he Will have no occasion to 60 abroad
to find buyers. In other words, the des-
tiny of the American farmer is condi-
ton of degradation and poverty or of
afhuence and independence. If he con-
tinues in the unequal struggle to COM
pete with Russia and Argentina in the
food markets of Europe he will drift into
conditions such as environ the farmer in
those countries. If he stands in" with
American labor in its effort to secure con-
tinuous employment at good wages, labor
will take all the surplus products of his
farm and pay him highly remunerative
prices for them. These are the two rene.
dies, and there is no halfway place be-
tween them.

money, and hence that all currency in tended
to circulate as money should be issued and its
volume controlled by the General Government
only and should be legal tender" That is the
language of the "Sllver party" 1t is pretty
fair Populist doctrine, for it is to be issued by
the General Government only and is to be legal
tender. They call it currency" which 'circu-
lates as money" and is q illegal tender" That
makes it pretty good money especially as it
is not issued by any private, national or
other kind of bank. In word, the silver
party declares war on the Irrational banks
just as the Populsts do.
We come now to consider the position by the
'new" or Bryan Democracy on the issue of
paper money or currency. They declare that
"Congre SIS alone has the power to coin or issue
money" That is pure Populism- They quote
President Jackson and say he declared that
this power could not be delegated to corpora
lions or individuals" That, too, is rank Pop
ulism. Then they proceed TO say, owe there
fore denounce the issuance OF notes as money
for the national banks as In derogalion OF the
constitution" That is tritie mixed. The
national bank notes are not illegal tender"
are already at discount and are poor
money but they add, s'And we demand
that all the paper money which is made legal
tender Tor public and private debts, or which
is receivable for dues to the United States
shall be issued by the United States and shall
be redeemable in COIN That Is decidedly
mixed and is repugnant to Populism SO far as
1T is "redeemable" in any other kind OF
money.
OF course, it would be too much to expect
Democrats-even the "new" kind-to make a
clear and sharp definition OF National
money" after the manner of the PopuIists,
and hence, after declaring in plain terms that
Congress alone has the power to coin ana Is
sue money" and that they 'denounce the Is
suance of notes as money for the nat1ona!
banks as in derogation of the constitution,
they hedge little and try to explain Wnat
they mean The one point of vital importance
to Populists, however, is that they, IN COM
mon with Populists and the silverites, openly
declare war upon the national banks as
banks of issue. Thus it is seen that this tri-
partite alliance of Populists Democrats and
silverites is fully agreed that the gigantic cor
porations known as the national banks"
which, with their confederates, mean the
"money power" must cease to own and oper-
ate the Government and must yield I'D their
unconstitutional exercise of power 10 Cypress
the people. Thus, also, the silver question is
but the initial step in the overthrow of the
national bank" iniquity and the final de-
struction of the predatory corporations and
trusts which now rule the country. / say,
therefore, to straight PopVllsts that the whole
money question is necessarily and specifically
involved in the fight TO elect Bryan and Wat
son. JOSEPH AsBURY JOHNSON.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-08-20
FOR A MERCHANT MARINE.

One of the great needs OF California is
lines of ocean craft sailing between San
Francisco and the coast trade centers of
all countries. Next to the kind of protec-
ton that would encourage capital to I'M
dertaKe the development of the vast re.
sources of the State, a merchant marine
service equal to the demands of commerce
is wanted. There is no doubt at all that
California is badly handicapped by mad
equate ocean transportation facilities but,
on the other hand, it would be impossible
to persuade capitalists to put lines OF
ships in service unless they were assured
of reasonable Profits, but that commerce
could not alone guarantee for many years.
The next best thing then would be for
the General Government to make it to the
interests OF capitalists TO undertake the
enterprise by giving financial aid, and that
the Government will do if Major McKin-
ley is elected, but that the Government
will not do if Bryan is elected; besides, if
the Nebraska man is elected there would
be no use for merchant marine, because
China and Japan would supply our mar
kets with manufactured goods and nat
urally enough they would want to employ
ships of their own.
Concerning the question of building up
lines of American ships the Republican
platform is very clear, and the promise
there made will be carried out to the last
detail if Major Mckinley is elected. The
Republican party's declaration is this:
1--WE favor restoring the early American
policy of discriminating duties for the up
building of our merchant marine and the
protection of our shipping in the foreign
carrying trade, so that American ships
the product Of American labor, employed
in American shipyards, sailing under the
Stars and Stripes. and manned, differed
and owned by Americans-may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce"
The Democratic party is opposed to all
that sort of thing because. so il says, it
"smacks of protection; besides, discrim-
mating duties would not build up mer-
chant marine"
The Seaboard gives some figures on that
question which Democrats might study
with much profit to themselves. Under
the discriminating policy American ship
ping grew as follows:
