Saws England Can Do Nothing.

London, July 13.-Sir L. H. Davies,
the Canadian minister of marine, who
was summoned to London in connection
with the Behring Sea seal controversy
and other matters, said to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press today:
1.-The latest phase of the sealing question
is q proposal emanating from the United
States government that the American
Canadian and British sea commissioners
should meet this autumn, return to the
sealing grounds and in conjunction with
officials specially representing the govern
ments concerned consider the situation
in the light Of the later facts collected by
specialists. This plan was submitted by
MIR. Foster only few days ago. Nothing
can be done this season and Great Britain
has decided that there is insufficient data
to Justify any change. The facts is that
the Americans have never Loyalty accepted
the Paris award and have never accepted
the fact that the sealing herd, as herd,
is not more theirs than ours.

FREE MEDICAL ADVICE.
The Generous Offer of welI-known Pat.

The Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co.
have become famous throughout America
for the marked good that has been per-
formed by the use of their famous reme-
dies These remedies are known today to
thousands, and have accomplished many
and wonderful cures. No matter, how
ever, how efficient a medicine is, it is
often necessary in special cases that some
experienced doctor should advise the
sufferer exactly how such medicines
should be used in his individual case. 1t
is also often practicable, when diseases
are not clearly defined, to consult with a
doctor and learn exactly what course
should be pursued before beginning to
take any medicine whatever. BY doing
this, all danger of taking the wrong
remedy is averted The Kickapoo Indian
Medicine Co., in order that their patrons
shall the sooner be restored to health and
avoid any possibility of not doing every
thing to effect this desirable end, have
placed at the disposal of the public in
general, the use of their medical depart
ment. This department. consists of

clans who will give your case, if you will

fidential, and the advice you will receive

perience. Remember these same doctors
that will advise you are all firm believers
in the wonderful Indian remedies, on &C
count of their efficiency, as..awell as due
to the fact they are absolutely harmless
being made of roots, herbs, barks and
gums, sand contain no poisonous ingredi-
ents Of any description. If you are suffer-
inc, it will pay you to drop the Kickapoo
Indian Medicine Co. line as soon as
possible, and learn from competent
physician exactly how to use their won
derful remedies.

lieye us from our present embarrassment,
for I cannot suppose that it is His will to
suffer a nation to perish which he has SO
often almost miraculously saved" sit
has been said with great truth, the vessel
of our commonwealth has never been so
close to shipwreck as in this period.
Had the government evinced the
slightest disposition to recede
from the measure of the
recoinage, or to Ereduce the standard, or
to raise the denomination of the coin,
the evil would never have been cured. ;"
fThe very first measure OF the Com
mons was to pass Montague's resolution,
That they would not alter the standard
of gold and silver in fineness, weight,
or denomination, and that they will make
good all parliamentary funds since his
Majesty's accession to the throne that
have been made credits for loans from the
subjects The effect of this true states
manship was instantaneous. Irade re-
vived, the financial and commercial
crisis was passed, the nation was solvent.
And vet again. in 1922 there were those
who resisted the resumption OF cash pay
ment, on the ground Of agricultural dis
tress. Then one of the ablest OF Enghsh
statesmen rested his most powerful ar
gument on the great historical precedent
OF 1896, and concluded his most convlnc-
ing speech by moving in the very words
OF Montagues resolution, THAT this
house will not alter the standard or gold
and silver in fineness, weight or denoml-
nation "The same spirit of the people
was manifest at each crisis. The struggle
OF mind constancy and magnanimlty OF
the people overcame it all.
70 recapitulate We observe that In
each financial crisis the people had rea-
son to complain of the conditions that
surrounded them, and in each crisis there
were many who sought for remedy in
cheap money-the real cause of their dis
tress,
true remedy was found in calling down
the coin Of the realm to its just value.
In 1886 the English nation was saved
from threatened financial and CONNER
cial disaster by resolving ''they would
not alter the stand ard" In 1922 they
avoided danger by resolving "This house
will not alter the standard.
And here in 1896 the American people,
laying aside party differences to large
extent, declared ''We will not alter the
standard - The clamp of experience"
is sure to indicate that our people are
right in this conclusion. The experience
of the English nation is a part of our own
experience, and even the Declaration of
Independence does not signify that the
American people must go back to the
condition of feudal wrongs; OF that they
must have their own line of martyrs
burned at the stake, or that they must
throw away their English Blackstone
and English law, or that they must de-
scend into the deplorable condition of
cheap money in order to have occasion
to lament the lack Of intrinsic value in
each piece thereof.
Happy will it be for us if the same spir-
it of the people manifested in the great
historical presidents referred to continue
to be manifested in our times, for SO may
"the strength of mind, constancy and
magnimity' of our people overcome the
dangers that beset our pathway.
