The general average rate Of in
toregt 10 1890 was G.44. That on
land was $50. The railroad only
paid $50; which the poor devil
with a crop lien IN the South had
to pay 40 per cent aud the man &C.
cupying his own farm paid IO7.
From The above it will be seen
that the farmer pays his share to
tho usuros az we'll as TO other peo-
pie Our figures are from Dept.
Of Labor Bulletin, Nov 1895.

of we have free silver the world
will make the United States its
dumping ground for all Of its silver
money-old forks and spoons, &c"
SO say the gold men. France has
some five hundred and odd millions
OF silver coin that circulates equally
with gold. Now, as these French
coins are minted at 151 to ], to get
them "to dump" on the United
States the bumper would have to
give one ounce Of gold for every 155
ounces he would bring here "to
dump" and when he dumped it he
will End that IN addition to the
expense Of bringing it here no will
have TO add A HALF OUNCE or Sill
YER to get his ounce Of gold back.
This would not be very profitable
investment and would not DO en-
gagged in by the Wall Street gentry.
The same would be true to a great.
or or less extent Of all the silver
coinage OF Europe.
Does any one feel like engaging
IN such a speculation?

Capt. ID. +. Allen, a member Of
the State Board Of Tax Commis-
sioners Of Indiana, says Of his State:
81 think that Indiana is almost
certain TO give It's electoral votes TO
Bryan There is no weakening on
the part OF his adherents out our
way; on the contrary, the cause is
gaining force all the time. III a
vote were taken nov he would win
by $4,000 majority, and there is
every reason to think he will defeat
Mckinley by those figures, or even
more. The farmer Is for silver and
no argument or persuasion Of the
gold crowd can change the minds Of
thc men who feed the nation"

the speeches Of Judge" Ike Lam

been shown mp to be a liar and a
defaulter, and docs not dare to re-
turn to bis home IN Nebraska. He
spoke over at Terra Alta and other
points in this section and de-
nounced Bryan severely, claiming
to come from the latter's home and
to know all about him. Read the

A Morgantown gentleman, who
had heard the harangue delivered
here recently by a man from Bry-

satisfied with the statements made
by the gentleman(?)and wrote to a
former West Virginisn who now
lives IN Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr..
Cheuyort was formerly resident of
Monroe county, as is the gentleman
who wrote him. He was lifelong
Republican and says that he fully
intended to vote for Mckinley un-

Why They Suffer-How They
Can Get Relief.

OH what misery, what suffering, what
anx iety and despair Is endured by thous-
snds of poor suffering women. They are
women with pale faces, tired eyes and
drawn, weary looks, who feel sickly and
worn out. Their lives are darkened and
they feel blue and depressed because they
are troubled with some female complaint
which gives them no rest. They suffer
silently, patiently, and too often they
keep on suffering.

suffer from dizziness, faintness, disorder

They seem to be afflicted with almost
every disease that was ever known. No
wonder that such women cry for help and
ask despairIngly, "Is there nothing can
take to get rid OF these awful feelings?"
