FadS in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in every
thing else and "new thing" frequently
sells for short time simply because it is
new. But in medicine, as in nothing else,
the people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition, and its
sales have never wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates, beyond
any doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things have come and
gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon the
solid foundation of absolute merit and its
power to cure, and its sales continue to be
the largest in the world

This unsupported assertion of Mr.. Bry-
an, without any attempt at proof, contra
dictcd by all history, is the only basis he
urges for Il change of the money standard
There is II further answer to this assump-
ton: If tine free coinage of silver will raise
it to sl.20 per ounce in gold, then the gold
standard is all right, because the silver
standard and the gold standard will be
one, and what then is all this talk about
the horrors of the gold Standard"
Ii, on the other hand, the price of silver
is not raised to $s 20 per ounce by free
coinage and the dollar under free coinage
simply passes, rs Mr. Bryan says it would
pass, ut IT'S bullion Va,uc, and it's bullion
value should remain as it is today, viz,
at or about 50 cents, then MIR. Bryan ad-
mits that he cheats every wage Garner, w
cry man who has any life insurance, every
savings bank depositor, every holder of II
policy of insurance or benefit in benefit
association, every holder of fire insur-
ancc policy, and every one indeed of the
various forms of creditors who make I'D
the large majority Of the people of the
United States. Prom il Letter of Con-
gresham Cowan (Dem. Of Maryland.

He secured the nomination

He has travelled through the nation
And disturbed the Population

HoWling dcrvish collocation,

Stand by Our Courtsl

There is another thing that we propose
to do. We propose to stand by the courts
of the United States. They have been
more than once our sheet anchor in time
of trouble, the tribunal that has protected
the weak against the strong and that has
been uninfluenccd by wealth and I'M
Sworvcd by passion. We propose, in Il
word, to stand by our free Institutions
grand, noble institutions they are where
every young man has u chance in the race
OF lifc-and we spurn the suggestion that
there are classes in the United States.

buttons rom each member of the Conrrc-
gatiunal church now amount to ablu;
$3.50, and To accomplish the same bcnevO-
lent work, il free coinage is adopted, this
contribution would have to be doubled.
The Poor viii Suffer.
These cndowmcnts and contributions,
generally speaking, are given by the rich,
but are used for the benefit Of the poor.
Withdraw them, and the poor only will
suffer. The rich man pays his way at the
hospital. He never needs the home of
charity in his old age, nor does he send his
children to the orphanago. The sick, the
desti ate, the aged, the orphans will all
suffer if the endowments to the churches
ale cut down. Free coinage therefore,
means disaster to all church finances ara
will paralyze its missionary and charito,
BILE work.
Enormous Church Values.
According to the United States census
of 1890 the invested values in chlTpL
property reached the enormous aggro,.a tc
of 100000, 900. This was freely given by
our church people for the public use and
the public good This vast sum represents
not all that Christian men and women
have consocrated to religious Objects bat
only what they have contributed to j. y
the ground and erect the buildings tc.
voted to worship. All churches will suffer
alike under free coinage.
What is there among men to compare
with the church in it's power to educate,
elevate and civilize mankind? And yet, II

all it's activities and interests will be 50
