THAT WONDER
REMEDY

RANDLEMAN, N. c.,
Feb. 6, 1896.
Rev. A. L. Mendenhall says:
Mrs. Joe Person.
Madam:-It gives me great
pleasure to testify to the
merits of your wonderful
remedy. When I decided to
give your remedy a trial,
my leg was badly liberated
from the effects of the fever.
It had bafffed the skill of
many eminent physicians,
was very much swollen, and
had two running sores, with
holes to the bone. | could
wear no other than low
CHARTERED shoes, and suf-
fered very acute pain. This
was in 1884 at Toisnot, Will
son county, N. c., and soon
after taking the Remedy
my leg was entirely cured
and has remained perfectly
well ever since.
Very respectfully,
REV. A. L. MENDENHALL.

AMONG the evidences of ~increas-
ing prosperity in free silver
Mexico the Mexican International
railroad is sometimes mentioned.
Recently a good deal of fuss was
made in certain quarters oyer the
statement that the company in
creased its business last year and
had an excess of income over ex-
penses of more than a million dol
lars. The facts are these: The
nominal net earnings of the rail
road were 81, O57, 4S9-in Mexi-
can dollars. The interest on the
company's bonds, however, was
$500, 900 and it had to be paid in
gold. As a Mexican dollar is
worth only 51.83 cents in gold,
its net earnings converted into
our currency, which is as good as
gold, would pay only $54s, o7o,
thus leaving the railroad actually
with a deficit. We think our free
silver friends will soon learn that
it does not pay to go to Mexico
for arguments.

AN English tourist who has
been visiting the Transavaal,
makes as merry over the attire and
manners of Paul Kruger as Major
Andre and his boon companions
used to be over the.C ontinentals. a
long time ago when the American
ssrebels'' fought better than they
dressed. He says that Dom Paul
wears his hat in the house, has
very little to say to visitors and
economises in.pockethandkerchiefs
at the expense of his coat-sleeve.
This latter is not a pleasant trait;
but if the Englishman will look up
the history of his country he will
find that the lease why British
army and navy officers first wore a
row of brass buttons on the sleeves
of their uniforms was to cure
them of the very bad habit with
which it appears that President
Kruger is afflicted. The only
reaso why brass buttons were
used as a deterrent was because
barbed-wire had not yet been in
vented:

g.. w. SMALLEY was in his
glory last week. He achieved
notice in two countries simultane-
ously by the simple device of
cabling a letter to the London
Times assuring that organ of
British opinion that the Venezuelan
question was far from approach
ing a peaceable settlement. There
upon American securities fell on
the London exchange, and the
weakened brethren in Wall
Street, who sneeze whenever Lon
don takes snuff, also tried to
E'bear" stocks on this side. The
mere suspicion that the Admins
tration intended to protect Ameri-
can interests, was enough OF create
a panic among the money-chang-
ers, the free-traders, and peace
at-any-price Uitlanders. The curl
Gus feature of the whole business
was that none Of those people
cared a straw for what Mr..
Smalley himself thought or said
on the question, for they properly
despise him as a mere American,
just as he despises them for the
same reason; but when the Lon
don papers gave heed to his gable
they wer as much impressed as if
a real Englishman had said it,
and had their little furry and fits
accordingly.

REPRESENTATIVE Money,
A Democratic Newspaper.

REPRESENTATIVE Money, OF
Mississippi, who was injured in a
fracas with Representative Hall,
of Missouri, last week, not only
holds a seat in the lower House,
but is also a Senator-elect, and
will take his place on March 4,
1899. That is to say, Mississippi,
thanks to its infrequent elections,
chooses a man for its highest
representative office in the ma
tional councils, three years in adj
vance. He may be the very best
and fttest man possible for the
place; but whether he be or not,
Mississippi has nothing more to say
on the question until the expira-
ton of his term, which will be
when the next century is five years
old. That is what is meant by
biennial, triennial, quadrennial,
etc., elections. 1t is the abdica-
ton of self-government on the
part of any State which adopts it.

UNSTABLE MONEY.
Ups and Downs Of Silver During the Last
Year.


Ups and Downs Of Silver During the Last
Year.
The beauty of unstable money and the
condition in which American business
would be were we to slump to silver
basis is aptly crystalized in the story
Of silver for the fiscal year about to BE-
officially reported.
Nothing known to human ingenuity
can make silver dollar intrinsically
worth more than its bullion value, al
though the government pays out gold
and boards silver in an effort to an i'm
possible end. The average bullion value
of the silver dollar was for last year 40.
The ratio of gold to silver for the fiscal
year was to $3.50.
Should the free silver interests have
an opportunity (which they win never
have) to try their monetary theory upon
American business, the chief occupa-
ton day by day Of the American bust
ness man would not be buying or sell
ing other commodities upon a known
and stable monetary basis but weighing
his silver and finding out by telegraph
overland and submarine, how much his
money was worth.
Business men who fancy this sort Of
occupation would be profitable, after q
few months trial would help to increas<
tie population of asylums for exhausted
intellects and bankrupt pockets.-Chi

With a wild yell he wheeled his

the loss of blood from the wound in my
arm, reeled and fell from my saddle

cHlLn.a PLAY.
Foolishness Of the Senators from the
Mining Camps.


Foolishness Of the Senators from the
Mining Camps.
It has pleased majority of senator's
TO make show of their foolishness.
It is commonly supposed that horse
sense" is quality largely developed
in new states and mining camps, but
not solitary one of the senators who
have spent month over the silver
bill has the slightest notion that IL
can possibly pass. They are perfectly
aware that it will not even be consid-
cred in the house, as it is an imperti-
nent alteration of a measure passed
by the latter body in response to the
presidents urgent appeal for power
to meet the necessities OF the treas
ury. 1t is likely that some of the SEN
ators who voted for silver coinage in
place of bond bill did so because they
were opposed to any more issues OF
bonds or borrowing of money while
the treasury confesses a monthly def
icit, but if there are such senator's it
would have been more manly and moro
sensible to vote against the bond bill,
without taking a months time to
fasten upon it coinage bill which
they knew neither the house nor the
president will approve.
But it seems to be a condition ~
which senators from silver states get
Office that at least once in each con-
gress, whether with the slightest prac-
teal reason or without any, they should
make q loud noise for free silver aoc
pass q free coinage bill if they can.
IT is a pity for constituents to have
such senator's, or else it is pity for
senator's to have such constituents, be-
cause no good whatever, but some
harm, is done by this biennial exhibit
ton. If there were any chance that
a free coinage bill might become law,
the recurring effort would receive and
be entitled to more respectful atten-
ton, as an honest, if mistaken, en-
deavor to meet wishes of constituents.
When it is made repeatedly without
even the pretense Of hope that q bill
can be passed, the effort has q tendency
to disgust and even to affront many
who have been well inclined toward
bimetallic views.
This vote ought to be regarded by
the financial world as bit of sheer silli-
ness, which can have no influence upon
the welfare, the good faith or thefuture
policy of tho nation. The difficulty Is
that all men are not intelligent enough
to understand it thus thoroughly. In
foreign countries, it is probable, there
will be found not u few competent in
vestors and capitalists who will look
upon this action of the senate as only
q new disclosure of the downward
tendency of public opinion in this
country. Such men will be apt to for
get that the senate has voted more
Than once in the same way. and with
the same entire want of practical re-
suit. Necessarily the influence upon
the public credit must be injurious to
some extent, and it is possible that II
may result during the coming months
in some further outgo OF gold.--N. \

The GOLD PRODUCT.


Likely 70 Ne Larger ThAn Ever ~ shs
Next Fifty Years.
It is now evident that the production
of gold for the next so years will be al
together unprecedented. This produc.
ton has been vigorously stimulated
by fresh discoveries Of mines. by new
and cheap mining processes and by the
fall of silver, leading miners to pay
greater attention to the other metal.
The operation Of the latter factor is
hest seen in Colorado, where the pro-
duction of gold rose from $5,300, 900 in
1892 to 1897 900 in 1898, and to about
s12, 900 900 in 1894. The production for
1895 in Colorado Is confidently expected
to reach 0,0o0. 900. The director OF
the mint is of the opinion that the pro-
duction of the United States rose from
$3s,014,9s1 in 1892 to about $50, 100000
in 1894, while other good authorities
put the production for 1894 at $780,
O0O,O The annual product of other
great producing countries show large
increase of late years. In his notable
article in the North American Review,
Mr.. Preston states that the worlds pro-
duction Of gold for 1898 was 1.-THE
largest in history, amounting in round
numbers to $155, So, O00." The product
for 1894, however, very largely exceed
ed-probably by rs per cent.-the
product of 1893. There is scarcely any
assignable limit to the gold known to
exist in the world, or even in the United
States. 1t is said that simply by re-
moval Of the restrictions on hydraulic
mining California can produce half q
billion of gold. The quantity easily
obtainable in Colorado IL stupendous.
Other parts of the United States are
also rich, while Australia and Russia
probably possesses a stock equal to
our own, and are increasing the annual
output every year.
But the most surprising, and, 80 to
speak, revolutionary facts, regarding
gold that have recently come to light,
are those concerning the great Wit
watersrandt mines Of South Africa.
There gold is found in enormous guam
titles and in q cheaply workable form
| in a new geological situation-'1n
strata, the component parts Of which
