1t Is claimed by DR.. Flowers friends
that he can diagnose any disease OF any
person without asking the patient a
question, and that he is the only living
physician VINO can scientifically do so
without making q mistake.
The Boston Globe says. I'm the treat
ment OF cancer, consumption, tumor,
heart, and nerve troubles, DR.. R @.
Flower has no equal in the world" The
Boston Traveller says: There Is no
experiment In DR.. r. Flowers prac-
tice. Able as he is to tell any one his
disease without aeking question, he
Is not likely to doctor his patient for
the wrong dise&oe." The New York
Tribune says: DIR. r. c. Flower, Of
Boston, Is the highest authority on
chronic disease aud enjoys the largest
practice OF any living physician."
Our readers will see that this visit of
DR.. r. c. Flower to the South will en-
able the sick to consult him close TO

Pastora' Oonferanca.

AT the pastors conference yesterday
morning the question Of co-operation in
the city work WAS discussed. The dis
cussion was led by Rev. DIR. Csmpbell.
Two plans were advanced. First that
all the ministers should attend the Mon
day morning conference; second, that q
man should be obtained who would be
in the employ Of all the churches, W hose
special business 1t would be to visit
every family in the town, and find out
whether or not they were Christians.
The churches could then work along
that line. Neither plan was adopted,
but the question will be further agits-
ted.

There's Wisdom
in Economy,

And there are different sorts
of economy. The economy
which saves at the spigot
and wastes at the bung" Is
worse than no economy at
all.
The truest saving Is to buy
the best your pocketbook
will afford at the lowest
price for which 1t can be
sold.
We buy the best of every
thing.
We sell on such a close mar.
gin of profit that our Gus
toners feel confident that
bottom has been struck.
Hence the active, progress
sive look of things which
some people wonder at.
IT'S very simple this honest
shopkeeping when you know
how, and the trading public
will always pin their faith
to an establishment of this
kind.

in favor Of "the constant apprecia-'
ton of money and depreciation Of
property"
How is it that Mr.. Carlisle no
longer believes that the Expansion
of the currency" will cause rise
in "the exchangeable value Of com
modities, including labor?"
How is it that he is now declar-
ing, as he did in Chicago not long
ago, that the expansion Of the cur
rency by the free coinage of silver
would cause the wages Of labor to
depreciate?
In his speech advocating the
Bland-Allison act, Mr.. Carlisle said:
The struggle now going on cannot and
ought not TO cease until ell the industrial in
terests Of the country are fully and finally
ematlGpated from the heartless domination
Of syndicates, stock exchanges and other great
combinations of money grabbers in this
country and Europe
What has become Of that strug-
gle? Are the "syndicates, stock
exchanges and other great combi-
nations of money gamblers in this
country and Europe" less heartless
and less powerless than they were
in 1878? Have sthe industrial in
terests OF the country been fully
and finally emancipated from the
heartless domination" of these
great combinations Of money gam
blers?"
If not, why is Mr.. Carlisle now
earnestly engaged in promoting the
schemes Of these combinations. and
why is he supporting the single
gold standard?
