II is a nero p%retense to attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency is on a gold basis. Good money
never made times hard. Those who
assert that our present industrial and
financial depression is the result of the
gold standard have not read American
history Alright or been careful students
of the events of recent years. We
never had greater prosperity in this
country, in every field of employment
and Industry, than in the busy years
from 1880 to 1892, during all of which
time this country vas on a gold basis
and employed gold money in its
fiscal and business operations than
ever before. We had, TOO, a protective
tariff, under which ample revenues
were collected for the government and
an accommodating surplus, which was
constantly applied to the payment of
the public debt.
Let us hold fast to that which we
know is good. 1t is not more money
we want. What we want is to put the
money we already have at work.
When money is employed, men are en-
ployed. Both have always been stead
lily and remuneratively engaged during
all the years of protective tariff legis.

A PLEA FOR GOOD ROADS.


The Tramp Gave the Gentleman Il Bit of His
Mind on the Subject.
The marks of a long pedestrian tour
were thick upon him.
He sat down to rest on the carriage
step in front of a rural residence. The
proprietor happened topass and paused
to look at the rather unsightly addition
to the landscape which the traveller
made.
What are you doing in this part of
the country" he asked.
"Walkin',n was the answer.
Haven't you any work."
"Walkin's as hard work as l know of
in this part of the world; up hill an
down holler; We climb q rock pile one
minute an land in a mud hole the
next"
"You ought to be ashamed of your.

ance but to your method of life. You

DOLLARS THAT ARE HONORED.


As the American Flag is Honored and Re-
spected by All Mankind.
AT q Republican mass meeting held
in Cooper Union, New York, Septem-
Der 5. United States Senator John M.
Thurston, in an eloquent speech, said:
II can take the dollars of my coun-
try, gold, silver or paper, and go into
the four corners of the habitoble globe;
/ can transact business with all people,
civilized, semicivilized and barbaric,
without fear of discount, depreciation
or discredit. l want the dollars of the
United States to 90 around the world
as the flag goes, honored and respected
by all mankind. do not care to 20
across the line into Canada, as the
Mexican comes across the line into the
United States with an apology for his
80 cent dollar.
I'm every free silver coinage coun-
try gold has been driven out, and the
only money in use in those countries is
silver money at its bullion value, and
paper is r%edeemable in silver. The
poorest dollar of any gold standard
country can be exchanged for two of
the best dollars of any free silver coun-
try. | prefer to live in a country which
can do business on equal terms with
the great nations of the world.
1.-THE free coinage of silver by other
countries has never yet lifted its pur-
chasing power above its bullion value.
The stamp of government has never
yet increased the value Of the metal
upon which it has been placed. Gold
remains gold, and silver remains sill
yer. Coin will pass current among all
people, not IN account of the fiat of
any government, but on account of the
intrinsic value of the coin itself.
For nineteen years after the 80 call
ed crime of 1873 the wages of human
labor steadily advanced. For nineteen
years this country steadily onward un-
| til it actually overlook and passed
all other nations in industrial progress.
In those nineteen years the plain peo-
pie of the United States built and paid
for more homes than had ever been
owned or possessed before that time by
the laborers of the whole world"

Fads in Medicine,

There are fads in medicine as in
everything else and a ''new thing FREE
%quently sells for o short time simply
because it is new. Butin medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and
will be satisfied only with positive, alb
solute merit. The fact that Hoods
Sarsaparilla has stood 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 med.
icine. The new things have come and
gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests
upon the solid foundation of absolute
merit and its power to cure, and it sales
continue to be the largest in the world.
