The Money of tho Constitution.

What wild talk is this of the "silver.
to the people of the United States the
time-honored money of the constitution
gold and silver-not one. but both"
The constitution prcscribes no such
money, nor any form of money what
ever.
But if 1t is gold and silver-not one,
but both'-tlat they want, why are they
not contented now? Both gold and silver
are in circulation now. on equal terms,
in larger quantities than ever before.
In the twenty-five years since the blood.
curdling "crime of 1873" was perpetrated
more than fifty times as many silver dol
lars have been coined as in the eighty
years preceding.
The simple fact is that the United
States has very much larger actual
supply of full legal-tended silver money
than any other country in the world,
excepting India and China. and larger
supply in proportion to its population
than any other. excepting France, Spain
and Holland. 1t has more gold in circu-
lation. actually, than any in the world,
excepting only France. and more propor-
tionately than any European country,
excepting Great Britain, France and
Germany. 1t also has more money of
all kinds in circulation, and all at par,
than most nations of the world.
Less talk and more reflection would
convince these would-be currency re-
formers that we already have what
they talk of as "the time-honored money
of the constitution" in abundant supply,
for every man who is willing honestly
to earn it.-New York Tribune.

ne Democrats in vast numbers who
share this curiosity and these apprehen-
sions stand by what they believe to he
gard to the currency. This policy was
declared in 1876 aud reatfirmed in 1892
IN these words:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
ep@dntry: smd .,'a and to the coinage Of both gold
against either metal or charge for mint:
age; but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic
ana exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement, or by
sucn safeguards of legislation as shall
% sne two metals. and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the markets
ana IN the payment of debt: and we de-
,mand that all paper currency shall be
Kent at nar with and redeemable in such
coin, com. we insist upon this policy as
OF Ct the farmers and laboring classes. the
nrst and most defenseless victims of un-
stnnle money and fluctuating currency.
These Democrats still hold to the doc.
trlne of dollars of both money metals of
egu1l value. that the country may have.
gold and silver. and paper retleemahle in
the same. Why not give these Demo-

disaster at home. why not say so? You
surely cannot object to an established
and worldwide parity of value between
gold and silver money. Why. refuse and
reject international agreement?

To Sound Money Democrats.

Here Is brief and simple catechism
for sound money Democrats:
"Do you want to beat Bryan?"
"If you want to beat Bryan, do you
know Of any other way of doing 1t than
by electing Mckinley?
know Of any other way of doing It than
take YOUR coat of and wade in and elect
McKinley?"
Answers to these interrogatories are
respectfully solicited from sound money

paramount issue and yet refuse to act
as If they believed what they said.-Bos-

What Mckinley Ha. Done.


What did he do? Consider sugar boun-
ties, for one thing. If the law had been
allowed to remain as he drew it Nebras.
ka by this time would have teemed with
beet-sugar manufactures, every one
help to the farmers, and the soil of
Nebraska is better for sugar beets than
that of Germany-Only needs good
valuable industry. The Mckinley duty
on barley caused the raising of millions
of bushels additional to the average Of
former crops, and this reduced sensibly
the excess of wheat production. This il
an example of what we mean by the de
versitied industry that the protective sys-
TEN promotes. We want more Of it, and
that is McKinleyism.
Why are wheat and butter down? As
to wheat: The use of agricultural ma
chinery and the improvement in trans
portation has cheapened labor and ex-
tended available territory, Argentina is

roads have nothing else to do than car

goes. Sailing vessels whose sniIs are
pulled about by steam, saving hands,
gentina wheat in Liverpool, Egypt, India,
Canada, Russia, compete. with us in the
wheat market Of Western Europe. The
world is a sort of country neighborhood.
What is the matter with butter? Let
the price Of butter go up. in New York

ures-what happens? A cable message
goes to Australia and there are ship
ments Of thousands of tons of excellent
hmtter at once. And it can be placed
in New York and proitably sold at 12
cents a pound. 1t cannot be produced
in New York at those figures. This IL
iustration is not imaginary. The trans
actions supposed have occurred recently.
What is the remedy? We can answer
confidently that the coinage of more
silver dollars will not be a help. We
ought to raise our own barley, our own
hops, our own eggs. chickens. onions
and potatoes, to make our own sugar
and our own tinplate. so as to give the

Farmers Are Di.courared.

The news has been circulated a good
deal and not conclusively contradicted
that this year a good many farmers are
so discouraged by. the way their affairs
do something unexpected in politics.
that some of them think maybe there 10
something in free silver that would
just fit their case-therefore, that there
are Republican farmers who if not en-
lightened are liable to vote for Bryan
and Watson or Bryan and Sewall. They
have heard so much about free silver as
patent medicine to cure the rheuma-
tism, heartburn, earache, fstula, dyspep.
sia and vertigo that they do not know
but they will try it. If they do they will
make the same mistake the workmen
drd,tes did four years ago and and invite even
upon themselves. There is absolutely
nothing in free silver for farmers.
Whatever they want for relief it Ger.
tainly is not deprecated money-dollars

What is the matter with farming7
The owner of one of the finest farms in
England, within sight of the forest Of
castle, stated to me that wheat had got
SO cheap in England that the straw was
more valuable than the grain. The de-
preston is not exclusively American.
The trouble is acknowledged-what is
the remedy? Whatever may be wrong,
and however difficult it may be to right
the wrong. there should not be farm-
er in all America so ignorant as not to

First a Mole,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in it's path as Cancer-and well
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
1ife's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
1ignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic plasters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes it's cause. S. S. S. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures can
Ger and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the well-known residents of
Macon, Ga, is Mr.. H. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder, who lives at SIS
Ross street For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from a
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope of
ever being cured.
On June %, 1896, he writes: Twenty
years ago, while being shaved, a small
mole on my face was cut, leaving an

the question of crossing tracks between
Racine and Milwaukee. The iniunc-

people have men watching the tracks

the tracks will be placed under the
crossings. In the meantime men are

and tracks are being laid north of that
place. Wires are to be strung as soon
