ONLY A FALLACY.

It is asserted by the silverites that the free coinage of silver would make money more plentiful and therefore easier to get. This is a shallow as sumption which cannot stand in the face of the facts.
 In free silver Russia llhe amount of money in circulation per capita is sS.46; in gold standard England, $206S. In silver basis Mexico the circulation per capita is s495; in the silver Central American states, s366. In gold stand ard Portugal, s29.11; in gold Australia, s2596
 The descent to a silver basis would banish all our stock of gold ($600, 0,O0O,- 000) from circulationn or use as money. This is in conformity to a law of circu- laItion as old as coinage and as inex- orable as the law of gravitation. It has never failed that the poorer money drives out tlhe better. And this would cause contraction of nearly one-halt our supply or hard money, which Sll- yer coinage could not make good in ten years.
 It is fallacious, furthermore, to say that even a flood of cheap coinage would make money plentiful for the workingman. No manufacturer, con- tractor or director of any business en- terprise will make Liberal or long range plans for employing labor when he does not know what the dollars he is to receive will be worth from month to month.
 There is no 'delusion at once SO empty and so costly to workingmen as thai cheap currency will make times goot and money plentiful.

WHY COLD COMES IN.

Most of the voters are pretty well i'm the currency question at present., but if they were called on to discuss the tariff they would find the reports of OUT foreign trade for Sep tember highly instructive. The ex- ports were heavy and the imports much smaller than at this time a year ago. So far as our foreign competitors are concerned, then, the country ought to be prosperous, for, in addition to the facts mentioned, the balance of trade is in our favor and is bringing gold ito our shores all the time.
 The failure of the Bank of England to gratify American bears by another advance in her discount rate must be taken to mean that she feels able to stand the gold drain for while longer Already, however, she has lost an amount that runs very close to $50, ,O00,- 900. Of this sum S35, ,645 900 has been taken for shipment to the United States, s7,9dO, 900 for other countries and s5,S97,o00 for home use.

WHY LOOK BACKWARD?

Every worllingman who was em- ployed during the seventies knows that wages are higher now than they were in 1873 Chauneey NJ Depew a short time ago in a speech delivered in Brooklyn, made these interesting com parisons:
 In 1873 the locomotive passenger en- gineer on the New York Central re- ceived $S0 per month, and now his average earning is $50 per month the freight engineer then received $60 per month, and now he averages $10O; then the firemen received $40 per month, and now $75 in the passenger service and $50 in the freight service; then trainmen and brakemen received from 80 ho $35, and now they receive from. $45 to $50; the trackmen, who constitute the great body of labor, re- caived S71s cents day in 1873, and now they get $1.35.
 The same timing is true of wages in other fields. In recent speech MT Bryan laid down the proposition, l5hat ilne more money there is in the cOun- Ttny the easier it is for any person to get his share of that money.
 If this be true, how can working man or anybody else vote to restore l1he conditions prior to 1S73?" We have nearly twice as much money per head as we had then, and every dollar will buy a good deal more.
 If it is silver that is wanted, it is ar lndisputed fact that only S,031, ,OO0 sil- yer dollars were coined in the eighty. one years from 1792 to 1873, while 454, 100000 have been coined since 1878 and over S,OCO,OOO during the presen+ year.
 Why look backward? Tomorrow i always better day than yesterday.

BRYAN AND THE GLASSES.

Bryan speaks of 'fthe classes" in this country. lit is an unpopular term, since it suggests bhe existence in the United States of the artificial social distinctions of the old world. In different sense, however, there are classes in this country. They are three in number, viz:-those who owe dollars, those who have dollars and those who want to get dollars.
 Very many of those who owe dol lars, who have received and used good 10O-cent gold standard dollars, would like to pay their debt in 53-cent dol lars. These would-be repudia}ors naturally support Bryan. Their posi- tion is logical and sound, having ref erence only to the benefit they expect for themselves through the opportunity ito cheat their creditors which the tri- lrmph of Bryanism would afford them. Those who possess dollars are op- posed to Bryan's election, if they un- derstand their interests. Having through the self denial of themselves or their parents obtained a surplus, they do not want ito have Llhat surplus, even though it be a little one, cut down one-half. The 4,S1000O deposit ors who have an average deposit of $31 in gold standard money in the savings banks of the United States do not want those savings paid back in cheap silver dollars worth only one half as much as those deposited. Such men would be fools to vote for the reduction or depreciation of their little
 hoard of savings.
 Then there are the men who hope tC
 get dollars, whose capital consists in their broad backs and strong muscles
 their skill, their education, their abil-
 ity in any direction These are the workers in every walk of life-labor-
 CTS, clerks, mechanics, professiona
 men. They have their labor, theil skill, their knowledge to seI, and nc ; money is too good for them ito receive Why should they vote to change tht value of the dollar in which they are paid from 100 cents, in gold Ito 53 cents
 in gold? It means for them loss, { wanton sacrifice, vain struggle tc have their wages raised at a time when the country is prostrated by the : shock incident to the change of al
 values, the destruction of credit, the

BRYAN ON LOWER PRICES.

MT. Bryan tells us that lower prices are due to the demonetization of sil- yer. But he did not always talk that way. Before he became the candi- date of the big silver ltrust, in a speech in congress in 1892, the said:
 You must attribute it (the reduction of prices) to the inventive genius that has multiplied a thousand times, in many instances, the strength of a single arm, and enables us ito do today with one man what fifty men could not do fifty years ago. That is what has brought down prices in this country and everywhere
 Verify, Bryan's progress in demagogy has been rapid.

naturalist will be chosen, although an ethnologist, is among those mentioned for the place. MT Jordan has recently completed a work on the fishes of North America. He was appointed last spring as president of the com mission of experts Ito go to Behring sea and investigate the condition of seal life. Before going to Leland Stanford, Mir. Jordan was president of Indiana university. In both positions he showed marked executive ability, which, it is sad, would be of value in the development of the National mu- seum.'
 Professor Henri Moisson, the we'll known French chemist, now visiting in this country, is to deliver a lecture at Johns Hopkins university today.
 Among the new names mentioned in connection with Ehe rectorship of the Catholic university in Washington, are the Very Rev Dr. D. J. O'Connell, recently rector of the American college at Rome; Bishop Montgomery of Los Angeles, Call; Bishop Becker, of Sa- vannah, Ga4 and the Rev. Dr. Brann, of this city. It is thought that Dr. OConnell would be an acceptable com promise candidate.
 M Andree, who almost started on a voyage to the north pole in balloon
 last summer, has just published in Stockholm his report on his researches in Spitzbergen, which were by no means unimportant. AS has been said he will again attempt to reach the north pole next summer in his bal loon, and to accomplish this he needs s14,000. On arriving in Gothenburg 1 on his return this fall he received a check for $2,100, and no doubt the rest of hhe sum will be made up before nexi

Ayers Pills. When taken according to directions, the result is always bene- ficial. A few doses gently stimulate the bowels to healthy action, restore their lost tone, and promote easy evac- nations. No other pill so we'll supplies the demand of the general public for safe, certain, and agreeable family medicine. Physicians recommend them. They received the highest awards of the Chicago Worlds Fair Commissioners.
 NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.
 Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"

Between disease and the many cheap preparations which are palmed off un der the name of blood purifiers, take your chance with disease, until you can procure Ayers Sarsaparilla only reliable blood purifier. Sold by all druggists and dealers in medicine
 In cases where dandruff, scalp dis eases, falling and grayness of the hair appear, do not neglect them, but apply a proper remedy and tonic like Halls Hair Remover. .
 Human life is held too cheaply when the individual who needs tonic for his system, seeks to cover his wants by purchasing every new mixture that is recommended to him. Remember that Ayers Sarsaparilla has a we'll earned reputation of fifty years stand ing.
 Ayers Hair Vigor, which has out lived and superseded hundreds of sim liar preparations, is undoubtedly the most fashionable as well as economical hair dressing in the market. By it's use, the poorest head of hair soon be- comes luXuriant and beautiful.
 Constipation Is usually habit of the body induced by prolonged inattention to the calls of nature It is condi- tion so perilous to the general health that it should be relieved as speedily but judiciously, as possible. People who have allowed themselves to be- come costive and irregular usually try to remedy the evil by the '!se of violent purgatives, and the result is that the bowels become weakened and the dis order all the more difficult of cure The medicine best calculated to pro- duce natural movement and at the same time to strengthen the bowels, is
