Beware
OF the knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshiield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been Q
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me TO submit to q re-
inoval of the gland. AT this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before | had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though 1 am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your SIS. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

PROSPE

The hard times that have prevail
ed throughout the country the past
four years is none other that the re-
suit Of sCleyelaD dism. Four years
more of the same policy would
have completely paralyzed business
bankrupted individuls and strand
ed the government itself. Cleve-
landisml is the strangest argument
that could be made against length
ening the presidential term. Had
his term been eight years, or even
six the bond issues and deficits
could not have been borne. 1t
shows that at the beginning of a
term that the end should be in
sight. The wisdom of the trainers
Of sthe Constitution is not more
marked in anything else than in
the constitutional provision limit
ing the presidential term to f ur
years. 1t can not be denied that
since the election of President Nc
Kinley and the introduction of a
different policy-a new republican
policy-the change for the better
has been great, and is daily grow
ing better. Since the election of
Mckinley he has not allowed the
grass to grow under his heels. Up
on every important question he
has decided views, and even before
his inauguration he began the
work of his administration in an I'M
official way. He has kept far
ahead of Congress in the legisla-
ton necessary for the restoration
of prosperity and if prosperity has
not made its appearance to your
satisfaction it IS because Congress
has been to slow in providing the
necessary legislation in fact, leav-
ing several important measures un-
touched. We can feel a improve
ment in the atmosphere in the
business world, and we have but
little doubt in another twelve
months, there will be such a revi-
val of business as the country has
not witnessed in twenty five long
years. Everything VIII go and
money will be secondary consid.

time, the price of silver fell day by
day, until it had reached the lowest
point on record; and after lingpr-
ing for few days it gradually but
inevitably sagged still lower, with
no prospect of an early recovery,
hut on the contrary with much
prospect of a steady future decline.
There is nothing whatever that is
mysterious about the advance in
tho price of wheat, and nothing, on
The other hard, that should be hard
10 understand in the fall in the
price of silver. The two move
ments bear no causative relation to
one another. Wheat has been
going up because the worlds avail
able supply, as compared with the
worlds effective demand, is relativ-
ely small this year. AS we explain
ed list month, the European wheat
crop is much scantier than usual,
while of those countries that usual
ly export wheat to Europe the Uni
ted States is the only one that has
considerable surplus. This is not
o normal situation, but it is for the
moment fortunate one our farm
ers. A number of years ago, q con-
dtion of the worlds markets that
in the nature Of things could not be
permanent gave American farmers
high prices through series of
seasons for all the wheat they
could produce. The wheat-grow-
ling districts of the West and the
money-lenders Of East counted al
together too much upon the contin-
uance of those high prices, and the
West was doomed on basis OF
fictitious values. The reaction
has been very serious. The pres.
ent recovery of prices should not
be made the occasion for a new
period of speculation, but it should
be taken advantage of for the pur.
pose of liquidating Indebtedness
and making ready to face low
prices as the normal condition
Meanwhile we should be. thankful
for the present relief TO the agricul
tural community, even though il
should last for only season OF
ltwo.-From "The Progress of the

Wheat, Silver and Prices.

There are some close observers of
the trend of Lublic opinion in the
presidential campaign last year
who express the opinion that Mr..
Bryan would have been successful
but for the sudden and very con-
siderable rise in the price of wheat
in the month of October, without
any corresponding rise in the price
of silver, which, instead, fell off
considerably. But if the price re-
lations of wheat and silver had any
object-lesson to convey last autumn
the price phenomena Of the present
season should teach the lesson still
more significantly. The price of
wheat went up steadily in August,
until it reached an average figure
higher than at any harvest period
for number of years preceedidg.
Cash wheat WAS worth dollar q
bushel in New York when this par
agraph was written. AZ the same
