The difficulty experienced by house

torily in the home laundry.

Those populists who may dissent
from some of the arrangements in car
rying on our great revolution are per-
fectly right in the main, but they
must not endauger our grand chance
of inauqurating Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan as president of the United
States, no matter who is vice pres.-
dent. We must reflect seriously on
what it means to have a populist pres
ident in the white house for four years
from March 4. 1897; and the grand pos
sibilities, more particularly if there
is the right kind of a congress to carry
out his wishes of retaining this glo-
rious country from the financial and
indu strial pirates who have held a
law-abiding people by the throat for
three decades. believe Tom Watson
10 be more the peoples friend and
champion than Arthur Sewall and
therefore 1 am convinced that he
would not countenance any local or
personal dissatisfaction among any of
the .populist voters to make them not
support the head of the ticket We
want Bryan for president with a re-
form congress, if possible, behind him;
and, as see it, it matters little who
presides over the senate for the next
four years, or whether it is presided
over or not. consider the senate an
aping. after the British house of lords

better.-N. E Mathewson, in Missouri

A FALSE ASSUMPTION.
America Does Not Want a Monetary Sy
tenn In Accord with England's.

America Does Not Want a Monetary Sys.
tenn In Accord with England's.
Our interests are directly the reverse
of those of England. She is the great
est creditor nation in the world. We
are the greatest debtor. If dollars
can be doubled in value ii. e., purchas.
ing power) she collects twice as much.
If dollars" be doubled in value, we pay
twice as much. That is the difference
in nutshell.
England is creditor to the extent
of $4,000, 100000. We are a debtor to
the extent of $4,000, 100000. This is
about the amount of our foreign debt.
I;ut the reader must not infer that for
eigners have sent $4,000, 100000 over
here and invested it. Not at all. As
hown by Gen. Warner in his Monograph
on our debt abroad, in 1869 our total
foreign debt amounted to only 81 ,2OO,
100000,
Since then we have exported $685.
9a1, z20 more gold and silver than we
have imported, and $1,749 1895, 231 more
merchandise than we have imported,
This makes total balance in our favor
of $2,356,OOO,O 900. And yet our foreign
debt has risen from about 81, 2OO, OOO,-
900 to Sc, OOO, 100000
How has this startling condition
arisen? Simply by the reinvestment
of profits. The foreign creditor has
drawn out such sums as he needed,
while the remainder has been reinvested
Of course each reinvestment means an
additional burden of interest, which the
American producer must annually pay
10 the foreign creditor. Thus in grea;
measure the tremendous productive ca.
pacity of the United States has been
used to increase our debt, and add to
the tribute we must annually pay te
Europe, a large portion of which goes
to England. The more profitable these
Refreshments, the greater the debt be.
comes. But when the reinvestments
cease to be profitable, they cease to
be made, and the European creditor
takes a larger and larger proportion Of
his American income abroad.
Then away goes our gold, as fast as
"ocean greyhounds can carry it."
One more fact of the most momen-
tous significance.
To pay our present foreign debt OF
5000, 900, 900 on a gold basis would
take as many of our great staples as
il 1869 or 1873 would have paid debt
of $4,000, OOO, OOO--the prices having
fallen one-half. So that without hav-
ing received an additional dollar from
abroad, and after having exported So
ESQ 100000 more of gold, silver and mer-
chandise than we have imported, our
foreign debt has in effect increased
from S1,2OO,OOO,OOO to just about ten
times that sum.
And yet we are seriously told that
we must be in accord with the financial
policy of England, and continue to pay
cur debts at the rate of two dollars for
one. in order to be honest National
Bimetallist.

exporters, with money borrowed in
London. True, such borrowing would
not settle our Indebtedness abroad; it
would merely Shift to other shoulders
and postpone the necessity of export
ing gold; but, if the export of gold
could be postponed until after the
presidential election, the purpose of
the gold contractionists would be
served.
So the exchange bankers undertook
the task of postponing the day of reck-
oning, hoping thereby to blind the
American people to the terrible cost of
the gold standard until by their votes
they had irretrievably shouldered on
themselves for four more years to come
the grievous yoke of an appreciating
standard that is grinding down our
producing classes to poverty and build
ing on their impoyerishment an oil

An Air-Pump Argument.

Every attempt to resore silver, every
appeal pointing out the awful effects
which have followed its demonstration,
has been met and fought back. The old
cry has been time and time again raised: :
IF you try it, all the gold will drift
away; if you try it, there will be a
panic" which is precisely as though
some people had a man in an air-cham-
Der, and had exhausted nearly all the
air and stood with one hand hold of the
pump handle, saying to him: eff you
dare to kick, we will give you two or
three strokes and take away what air
you have"-Salt Lake City Tribune.

Mr.. William e. Harl, favorably known
among his friends and acquaintances as
THE Old Salt Doctor, is probably the most
familiar character in the vicinity of
Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets, Omaha,
Nebraska. Mr.. Hart is now over So
An interesting history Of his recovery
from . common malady follows: A little
over five years ago became afflicted with q
malady, he name OF which do not know.
My family have been troubled the same
when they arrived at my age, and they said
was on the same road anu that there was
no cure for me. The symptoms were, Gizzi-
ness, loss OF memory, and An utter prostra-
ton OF the nerves. The most notable
trouble was swimming oil the head. when
came in from walk or was out standing
in the sun or doing any kind of exercise at
all. When l would sit down, my head
would swim and everything would dance
before my eyes. and l would become SO
dizzy that I would have to hold to chair to
keep from falling; or if Were sitting down
and got up suddenly, everything would
whirl before me. and / would have to hold
to the chair for some little time; my men,
Dry was so poor that it was difficult for me
to remember some of my best friends. This
state of things continued for about year
and half, and kept getting worse and
worse; L could not remember anything. and
my head was In u co slant whirl; every
thing swan b fore me so that life was
really miserable.
On the recommendation of some friends,
went to my druggist, Mr.. Shrader. on
Twenty fourth and Clark streets, and got IL
box of Pink Pills for trial, and after taking
few doses 1 began to feel the effects and
found that they were doing me good. When
the first box was gone got anotht + and an
other until l had taken four boxes and
was entirely relieved. And now, although
my memory is not so good as it was forty
years ago, it is greatly improved, and is
better than MAJ mems memory that are
much younger than l; my dizziness is en-
tirely gone, and my nerves are strong as
they were ten years ago, and DR.. Williams

highly of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and

them 10 all my friends or ny one else that

THINK A LITTLE.

Do Not Let Partisan Prejudice Cause Yov
to Cut On EOur Nose to Spite Your Face.
The prevailing sentiment and pres
ent intentions of the populists of Indi-
ana and perhaps of several other states
is fairly indicated and expressed by the
following resolutions adopted by the
peoples party of Posey county, Ind,
in mass convention on August 10, 1896:
Resolved, That we congratulate the Ameri-
can people. irrespective Of party on the nomi-
nation Of that peerless statesman. the young
champion Of the great common people, Will
liam j. Bryan of Nebraska, and we pledge him
our hearty support. provided we are given an
equal division of electors according to our pot-
ing strength, If not.
Resolved, That we demand of our district
chairman and Of the state central committee a
full set Of Bryan and Watson electors. and
pledge them our support at the November
election
1t seems to me that, under present
conditions, populists manifest an inn
proper spirit and make a grave mistake
when they decide, under any circum-
stances, to put up a separate and dis
tinct Bryan and Watson electoral
ticket. 1t will never do to allow party
feeling or partisan pride to bring about
the defeat of Bryan, which the course
would undoubtedly result in.
Not only would such a course cruelty
Bryan upon the cross of partisan pride,
bat it is altogether unnecessary to ac-
complish the desired end. i. e., the
election of Tom Watson. All that is
necessary in the premises is that the
populists shall secure in the entire
United States, the balance of power in
the electoral college, and that they
proba bly, already have, provided, of
course, that Bryan secures a majority
of the electoral votes of the nation. 1t
is likely that the election will be SO
close that so, perhaps even 80 populist
electors will hold the balance of power
and be able to enforce the dictum-
No Watson, no Bryan" TheoutcOme
is thus tersely stated by the Rocky
Mountain News:
The election being over and a majority of
the electoral college consisting Of Bryan and
Sewan and Bryan and Watson electors. 80 Of
them being Of the latter class, is not the fol-
lowing not only possible, but is it not prob
able: Tie Bryan and Watson electors will in
quire of the Bryan and Sewall electors whether
they intend TO vote for Mr.. Watson for vice
president The Sewall electors will reply:
No We were elected to vote for Sewan for
vice president ana we VIII SO VOTE very
WE'LL reply the Bryan and Watson electors,
Iii you viii not vote for Watson we will nor
vote for Bryan" The outcome. Of course.
would be either that Bryan would be defeated
or Watson with Bryan would be elected
1t is, of course, all right to exert
every effort to obtain fair division of
electors in every state, but where this
cannot be done, Mr.. Watson's chances
are injured, not helped, by the nomi
nation of a separate electoral ticket.

There is some consolation to us in the

fit to creditors. Nearly every nation on

is that we obtain larger quantity of

Fay the principal it would take only
three-fifths as much produce to pay it

from this, all farmers, in CT out of debt,
