Walsh and ESS Speak.
Chairman Co. Central Com
III. j. GROVES, Sec.

HlGGINSVlLLE, MO.
Last Thursday night Messrs. Walsh
and Judge Henry Ess, of Kansas City,
two prominent lawyers of that city,
delivered in the court house here to a
crowded audience of ladies and gentle
men, each IL very instructive speech
upon the vital, all important question
of the day, the free and unlimited COIN
age of both silver and gold as the
money now so much needed by our
people. Mr.. Ess, we knew as a repub-
lican when he was a student IN our
State University, and a very strong
republican,, and so he continued in
such political faith for many years, but
has lately turned over and will vote the
democratic ticket this year. He has
long been a very successful lawyer.
He made a. powerful speech. It's pc
culiar logic was powerfully Euclidian.
We told him at the close that Arch
imedes could not have made a more
powerful demonstration. His speech
had not II false grammatical construc-
ton from first to finish, nor a false
sylOgism in any part of It,. You might
rs well assaIl the peak of Teneriff or
the ROCKY mountains with a pocket
pistol as to attack the logic of Judge
Ess's speech. 1t vas a peculiar and
powerful specimen of cold and sound
logic and facts. 1t was based upon u
hard cast iron foundation. MIR. Walsh
Is the most pleasing speaker, a logi-
cian of no ordinary ability, combining
great ability with the very best illus
trations, and the most genial humor
ov,A etoo-l-l;o- oanaIAtoC aal ,rst ot |
us commend both speakers for being
absolutely free from abuse and
%vilification. Their speaking was GER
tainly on a very high plane, confined
to good temper, common sense, logic
and truth.
In closing our remarks and criti-
cisms, we wish to call the very special
attention of your readers to Senator
Tom Benton's remarks, on pages Ago
and 40, found in volume first, of his
''Thirty Years in the u. 81 Senate. "
He is upon ratio between silver and
gold IN his day. lie found for more
than 800 years 1875 to 1 was the ratio.
In all the Spanish dominions in North
America and South America was the
true ratio, in round numbers 16 to l.
Finally this, he says, u~ndervalued
gold. He voted for this ratio with
Webster, Calhoun and other very dis
men of his time. The gov
eminent coined by this ratio, and the
result was that plenty of gold flowed
into our country for all necessary uses.
Tom Benton was for thirty years in the
u. S. senate, and the most powerful
in knowledge and intellect we
ever had in congress. A. ii. Stephens,
of the south, places him beside Clay,
Calhoun and Webster. They were four
giant intellectual powers rarely ever
in any age. They knew every
thing pertaining TO h welfare of the
One very good thing BENTON
and Jackson did was to tear down the
rotten u. S. bank. Everyone should
read about this time Benton on this
bank for the best information upon
influences IN U. S. banking.
No young man should be without this,

Bismarck, the great European states
man, says in a letter to Governor Gull
berson, OF Texas: 81 hold hat this is
the very hour that would be advisable
to bring about between the nations
chiefly engaged in the worlds COM
merce, a mutual agreement IN favor of
the establishment of bimetallism. The
United States are freer by far in their
movements than any nation of Europe,
and hence, If the people of the United
States should find it compatible with
their interests to take independent
action in the direction of bim~etallism,

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
II you want to get we'll and stay well.
Most likely it's Indigestion. The irrita-
ting poisons of ~fermentIng, putrid food,
left in the stomach by indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, s~tomachache, nausea, irritability,
and all the other well-known symptoms
of indigestion,
They also cause many pains and disor-
ders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But as
soon as the poisons are removed, all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, because
there is nothing left to cause them. Moth
ing sccceeds In this like Shaker Digestive
Cordial, because it prevents the undIgested
food from fermenting in the stomach and
helps the stomach to digest Its food.
