SILVER IN FRANCE

The New York Times says . Russian
loan has just been taken in France. IL
was for $500, 600, 900. 1t was subscribed
for twenty-five times over ; that is to
say, the French people offered to lend
Russia SIS, 900, 900, 900. The Russian
bonds are payable in gold, and II this
loan is like preceding ones, it is payable
in English sovereigns.
Undoubtedly the passion Of the French
for their sole ally in Europe has much to
do with their readiness to lend Russia,
but the absolute certainty of repayment
in coin that is practically Interchangeable
in value as an essential condition. The
extraordinary amount subscribed shows
what vast sums Of savings there are in
France for investment. And the same
is true, to . less extent, OF Germany,
Belgium, Holland and Austro-H Hungary.
We have the word of NJ. Leroy-Beau-
lieu, one of the closest students OF Eu.
ropean financial conditions, that . large
part Of these savings would come to this
country il all doubt as to the gold stan
dsrd were removed. The first step to-
ward removing il is the overwhelming
defeat Of Bryan and free silver.
In reply to the above the Brooklyn
Star says: The object lesson would have
been increased in value had the Times
informed its readers that France has
more silver in circulation than this coun-
try, and that the Government pays in
silver or gold, at it's own option. 10
other words, the fourishing condition OF
France is so far from being due in any
degree to the maintenance of the gold
standard that il is the most conclusive
example possible Of the error into which
our Government fell when it waived its
right to pay out silver and left itself at
the mercy OF the spectators in gold.
The French Government does not admit
of the free coinage of silver, but it coins
it on its own account, and has never
c~ountenanced the notion that it was for
the creditors OF the Government to de.
eide in which Of the metals they should
be paid. To place the Government OF
this country in as good q position as that
occupied by France, it is necessary to
follow the French example to the extent
of treating the silver and gold dollars as
equals.
There is room for debate as to the con
sequences that would flow from the free
coinage Of silver, bus there is none as to
the practioability of doubling the guam
tity of silver ct present in circulation
and maintaining at par with gold. An
other thing worthy Of note in this rels-
tion is that France has not found herself
dependent in the slightest degree upon
the will Of England. She has arranged
her finances without reference to Eng
lish opinion or English policy. That it
IL impossible for this country TO pursue
IN equally Independents course is an IS.
sertion that rests upon nothing in the
nature Of proof.

 Puritana.
WHY THEY GET WELL.

The proof does it. That is why people begin to take Puritana. People find that their neighbors have tried it.
 Their friends have tried it. Men and women in every walk of life have tried it.
 A man suffers.
 Perhaps he has suffered for years He has tried many things. They have all failed. He reads a Puritana testimonial He reads another.
 He sees new ones wherever he looks.
 Some of the writers are in his own town
 Some in his own business. Some he can see.
 Some he can write to. Some have been cured of his own ailment.
 Some of other ailments. All are grateful.
 All are glad to tell suffering people how Puritana gave them relief. They are approachable folks, and their voluntary testimonials count. Some live in town.
 Some in the country. Some hold office.
 Some vote.

puritana Patients

But all are honest and sincere. That is why any one can prove for himself the genuineness of Puritana cures.
 Puritana patients get well.
 This is fact.
 There are reasons for it.
 Puritana is the discovery of Prof. Dixi Crosby.
 Hewasthe greatest New Hampshire physician of his day.
 He was at the head of the Dart mouth Medical College for genera ton.
 He used common sense, and found that disease or health came to the body through the stomach.
 He scientifically compounded a stomach medicine from the harmless products of nature.
 This is Puritana.
 It makes the stomach right.
 That is why it makes the health right.
 With sound stomach no one can help being well.
 That is why Puritana patients get well.
 Chemists say that Puritanais a good medicine.
 They also say it is well made. The materials are the purest and best that money can buy.

Druggists say it is good medicine. Their customers buyit and are more than satisfied with it's effects.
 What the people say about Puritana you have read before, and you will read again.
 The thousands of Puritana cures are becoming better known every day. The patients are real people.
 The cures are real cures.
 They can be proven in court
 They can be proven by any medical society
 They have been proven before the tribunal of Public Opinion.

A PATRIOTS SPEECH.
Fourth of July Grafton Delivered by
Gov. Hardin Fifty-Two Years Ago
at Fulton, Mo.

The editor of the LEDGER has had
the pleasure of examining some orig
inal manuscripts of the late Governor
G. Il. Hardin. Quite number of Mr..
Hardin's speeches will be published
in book which his wife is shortly to
bring out. The speech we print below
was delivered by Governor Hardin in
Fulton, Galloway County, Missouri,
on the Fourth of July, 1874. This pa
triotic speech was delivered long be-
fore he entered the political arena and
it will be read with interest not only
by the thousands OF personal friends
of the deceased but by all lovers of
true patriotism. Governor Hardin's
patriotism was not sentimental but
animated his bosom and governed his
actions through life. The speech was
delivered hfty-two years ago. Four
years ago in July the Governor passed
away to his last rest, respected and
honored by all Americans who knew
him.
MIR. HARDIN's GRAFTON.
1t becomes the American people in
each annual round to commemorate
the day of their national Birth. They
owe it to themselves to assemble in
these iuxuriant groves and upon these
silvery streams to refreshen the deeds
and great incidents of that day and
period. They owe it to the soldiers,
statesmen and brave spirits, that they
celebrate with becoming respect and a
noble gratitude, the era in which they
advocated liberal principles, engrafted
them into the constitutions of the
American communities, and pledged
their chivalry for their defense, en-
dured toll, suffering and the winters
storm for their promotion and eleva-
ton. They owe it to that glorious
freedom which, centuries before tax
ing her flight from the shrines oi
European governments, retired to the
sequestered bowers of these American
forests. Strong emotions, burning
patriotism, a dignified love of noble
deeds, should on this day characterize
the American heart. Every heart
