Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition

AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.
Business Paralyzed by Frse-Coinage Asa
tation.

Business Paraiyxed by Frec-Coinage Aeo-
tation.
The Wooden and Villow-Ware Trade
Review of April 10 offers the following
explanation for the cause of the pres
ent unsatisfactory business conditions:
All business is done by the medium
of the existing measure of value. II
There are any doubts about the future
of that measure, commerce gradually
approaches a standstill. When the
Sherman silver law was repealed, con-
fidence in the future began to return,
and it was expected that steps would
be taken TO remedy the evils of the cur
rency system under which the business
of the country has been operating.
Stimulated by this view, some business
men launched new enterprises and
started up old ones. There was an APP
pearance of revival in business a year
ago.
When, however, it was found that
there was a small band of men, whose
wh~ y future was based upon securing
the fra coinage of silver by the United
States minis, in a position to block
every move made to insure the continu-
ance OF honest money in this country,
commercial people became nervous
again. They commenced to prepare for
financial trouble, which they thought
might come. This preparation involved
the withdrawal of loans, the curtail-
ment of manufacturing, the abandon
ment of new projects and the gathering
of reserves. Thus manufacturing and
trading have for some months been suf-
fering from gradual paralysis.
These conditions should convince
every business man of the paramount
Importance of having the o-called cur.
rency question settled. just now one
of the most profitable things business
man can do is to use his influence and
spare time in working toward currency
reform and impressing upon the poll
ticians the fact that the business inter-
ests of the country require sound
money. Our national politicians whc
are now setting up the pins for presi.
Dental election should take warning.
No candidate who is not in favor of the
gold standard ought to be elected presi-
dent this year. Efforts should be made
to prevent any man not sincerely and
earnestly in favor of it from being q
candidate upon either the democratic
or republican ticket.
Under existing restrictions we have
the largest and best bimetallism ever
known in any country. We are using
silver equally with gold and more large |
~ than any country in the world ever
did when using gold at all. And we are
keeping all these silver dollars on q par
with gold. What the Missouri conven-
lion proposes is that we shall abolish |
the restrictions that have thus made BIZ
metallism possible, abandon the use OF
gold, reduce the value of money one.
half, cheat all creditors, public and pri-
vate, cut down the purchasing power of
wages and substitute cheap dollar
for the honest dollar BIZ
we have.
If there is any method in this mad
ness it is the method of men bent upon
he ruin of their party.-N. Y. World.

THE MISSOURI MADNESS.
Ruiuous Demands of Rampant Frce
COiners.

Ruinous Demands of Rampant Free
Coiners.
The Missouri democratic platform
demands the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver and gold" eat the ratio of
sixteen to one, without waiting for the
action or approval of any other gov.
eminent"
It rests this demand on the assertion
that "from the beginning of the gov
eminent, following policy formulated
by Thomas jefferson and firmly estab-
lished by jackson, the democratic
party has been the party of bimetal-
hsm." But what are the facts?
TIE bimetallism of jefferson and
Jackson was based upon a coinage ratio
representing the ratio of actual value.
The silver and gold dollars they favored
were worth the same. The bimetallism
of the Missouri convention proposes sill
yer dollars worth about one-haf gold
dollar each. The binetallism of democ-
racy was honest. The bimetallism Of
the Missouri platform proposes swim;
die of so per cent.
