Rev. A. L. Mendenhall says:
Mrs. Joe Person.
Madam:-Itg gives me great
pleasure to testify to the
merits of your wonderful
remedy. When / decided to
give your remedy a trial,
my leg was badly liberated
from the effects of the fever.
It had baffied the skill of
many eminent physicians,
was very much swollen, and
had two running sores, with
holes to the bone. l could
wear no other than low
quartered shoes, and suf-
fered very acute pain. This
was in 1854 at Toisnot, Will
son county, N. c., and soon
after taking the Remedy
my leg was entirely cured
and has remained perfectly
we'll ever since.
Very respectfully,
REV. A. L, MENDENHALL.

general we hear less from Mr.. Bryan's
side Of the house of the eastern mil
lionaire and his preference for sound
and honest money as opposed to silver
imitation and reputation.
But the free silver agitator is much
disturbed just now because the east
ern manufacturer and the railroad
officer are telling their employees that
the factory and mill cannot run and
the railroad be operated profitably I'M
der a free silver monetary system.
They say the employer has no right
to intimate to his employee what con-
ditions are favorable to his industry
or enterprise and what not. Why
hasn't he? Are not the interests Of
employer and employee largely identi-
cal? Is it possible for the employer to
be hurt without the employee feeling
it? Should an employer allow his m
ployee to be misled into doing what
will result in loss of work or wages
without saying a word by way of eau
ton to put him on his guard? Is the
right of free speech to be denied the
employer? And is a word well meant

One of the mottoes carried in the La

the only thing that most of us have to
give for money, and If we do not sell

What does 1t mean, then, when some
people tell us that we shall grow rich
that we shall get more money-if a
great many more silver dollars are
coined for mine wner who take their
silver to the minis? Is it meant that
We shall be able to get some of these
new silver dollars without working for

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE. /

When the free silver agitation was
young; while yet the theories of the
white metal doctrinaries were plaus-
ible and their arguments specious, it
was a clever trick with which to catch
unthinking voters to harp upon the
fact that the capitalists and million
aires of the east were opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the CO.
operation of other first class powers.
But it was 10 learned by the public
that the capitalists and hillionaires of
the far west, the silver states, were for
the free silver idea. And it was
learned, too, that these ~millionaires
had about as many millions as the
same number of eastern rich men.
Twenty-Five silver kings represent an
aggregate wealth of $547, 000. 900, and
every single solitary one OF them is

where in the report is Argentina, whose
farmers have cheaper and fresher lands
and whose labor expenses are much
less than those of their American com.
p%etitors.
Cheap land or cheap labor, or both
combined. are what the American
wheat-raiser has to contend against,
and not the gold standard. The Ar

ment land for a song, and hence does
not have to put as much capital into
farmer does. He pays less for farm
labor, and his transportation facilities
are often better. Hence he can sell his
grain more cheaply.
The moment the Suez canal was
opened the wheat-raisers of India, who
already had cheap labor, got quick and
cheap transportation, and became for
midable competitors. Fill up the Suez
canal and force them to send their
wheat around the Cape of Good Hope,
and they would cease to be such dam
gerous rivals. Give the wheat-raiser
of the northwest deep-water trans
portation from Duluth to Liverpool,
and he would get more for his wheat
than he does now.
The American wheat-raiser has got
to deal with the fact stated by Senator
PETER that wheat costs about Is cents
a bushel on the India farm. largely be-
cause labor is so poorly paid there.
1t is estimated that it costs IS cents

a great buffet in the middle of the hall

.sylvania, and about so cents in Kansas

sylvania, and about so cents in Kansas.
How does the free silver farmer think
this difference in the cost of production
between America and India will be
done away with by free coinage? Does
he think the cost of labor will be in
creased in India, and not increased
here? Or does he think the cost of la
Dor will be decreased here and not in
creased in India? Does he expect to
see the American farm laborer injured
or the laborer in India benefited?
Free coinage will not increase the
yield to the acre. 1t will not add to
the number of wheat consumers. II
will do nothing to aid the farmer. By
creating a panic, by disorganizing all
branches of business, by reducing the
city consumption of wheat and all 9TH
er farm products free coinage will do
the farmer indescribable injury. It will
damage his home market, which is his
main-stay.-Chicago Tribune.

Opposed tn Mr.. Bryan.

Among other things to which Mr..
Bryan has declared himself to be op-
posed is national protection to the beet
sugar industry. This man, who pre-
tends to be the friend of the American
people, does not want to see American
industries developed, for he knows that
with the revival and development of
commerce and industry and con
sequent return of prosperit the op-
portunity of the demagogue passes
away. A commended, prosperous peo-
pie has no inclination to listen to his
rant. Had not the tariff policy of the
present administration brought on
financial depression and consequent
hard times the ~silverites would no.

cious doctrines, for none would have
listened.
But to return to the protection of
American sugar. During the fiscal year
ended in 1895 this country imported g.
SIG. 1873, 168 pounds of sugar valued at

the amount OF imported sugar was g.

gentina, or in any silver country. The
workingmen in those countries get
about enough wages in silver to pay
for the food which the American work
ingmen's children give to the r pet dog
or cat. If there is any fact about
which there is no dispute, it is that the
lowest wages and the poorest living
are those of the workingmen ip- coun-
tries where the silver staDi =
walls.
Now, one of two things must happen
If the United States undertakes to coin
So cents. worth Of silver into a legal
tender dollar for everyone who has the
silver and asks to have it made into
a dollar. Either the new silver dollars
will be worth as much as gold dollars,
or they will be worth less. If they hold
the same value that our dollars have
to-day, how are workingmen to get
any more of them for the same amount
of labor? If they do not hold that val
ue but d~epreciate. in what way are the
workingmen going to make up the def
cit in the value of their wages?
No one now seriously contends that
silver dollars, or the treasury certlfi-
Gates representing such dollars, could
be maintained at a parity with gold
under free and unlimited coinage. That
Job is too big for even Uncle Sam to
handle. The value of the dollar, and
so the value of wages, would inevi-
tably fail, and it would fall badly. But,
we are told, there is the poor farmer
who has a mortgage overdue and could
pay it off so much more easily with
this cheap kind of dollars. True
enough; he could pay off his mortgage
with the money which the workingmen
lose in wages. This might be pleasant
for the farmer, but is it exactly cheer
full for the Neutrality-suspicious. Post.

Why WHEAT is LOW.


Two years ago Senator PETER made
a report to the senate on the u of
the fall in agricultural prices. In that
report he declares that
Our home prices for wheat are large
ly controlled by the foreign wheat mar
ket, and that is regulated by those who
supply the greater part of the demand.
The effect on u wheat market is to
bring down prices. Our strongest rival
is 10Y India, whose farmers during the
last eve years furnished nearly one
half as much as we did of the wheat
from him and for the employees best
interest to be tortured into intimida-
ton? The truth is the natural re-
lation between employer and en-
ployee is a close one. 1t has been
widened by the politician and walk
ing delegate until in many cases I'm
nifty has supplanted tie good feeling
which should be fostered.
Let US see the inconsistency of the
free silver people Have you ever
been in the silver mining states since
the Stewards. Tellers. Newlands, and
that class of men have been making
sentiment for the cause of the white
metal? Have they enlisted the silver
miner who works fer them? Have
they? Why, he is rampant. If he
were not he could not emily not hold
his job or not hope for one when
Bryan gets to be president, if he is
out of employment now, but it would
be too uncomfortable for him to live
out there.
Bulldozing, do you call this thing
CT employer ~enlisting employees in
behalf of what will benefit the
former? Well, then, you should go
into the silver mining districts and
behold it flourishing with yigor and
luxuriance. The silver miner is told,
with free silver, wages Will SO up. 1t
is not explained to him that they will
go up as measured by a silver stan
dard. 1t is enough for him to know

1t mas long been known to doctors
that the shape and appearance of the
finger nails form important factors In

the nails are long and blueish they in

NEW YORK, April 13.-The World
this morning says: The plan of inter
national arbitration for the settlement
of all disputes between nations which
has so long been under consideration
by the New York State Bar association
have been practically completed so far
as the committee having it in charge
is concerned.
The State Bar association will meet
in Albany Thursday, when plan will
be submitted to the full body for it's
consideration. When it is approved it
will be sent to President Cleveland
If he approves it he will take the nee
essary steps to call the attention of
other nations to it.
The members of the committee are
retfcent about the details of the plan.
In a general way it may be said that
the plan provides for a permanent
court, organized upon strictly judicial
basis. 1t is proposed to have 1t in
constant session, so as to antedate any
controversy that may arise. The court
rs to be made up of the foremost judges
of the world, Practically, the inter
national court of arbitration will bear
the same relation to nations that the
SOul 10 VI cdCH pear lQQlVlQ-
uals and corporations
The plan has provision for special
and permanent treaty. 1t is intended
that all disputes of any serious char
acter between nations shall be referred
to it and that it's decision shall be
final. The advocates of the plan say
II 1t is adopted it will make war nearly
impossible and do away with compIi-
cations that often drag along for years.
1t is said that the movement has been
endorsed by the leading statesmen of
the great nations of the world. The
members of the State Bar Association
who have been most active in the mat
ter say it is the first time that a
practical working plan for an interna-
tional court of arbitration has been
evolved, notwithstanding the fact that
for years international arbitration has
been urged, made the topic of innumer-
able debates and the theme of tIpo11s-
ands Of sermons.
