"I nave been a sufferer for eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching I
had to endure.
"The extent of my sufferings can be
appreciated when l state that my con-
dition was such that 1 could not take
my bed, and for three months / never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. l then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. l went to
Florida, thinking that a change of eli
mate and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
81 then tried SIS. and after threedays
the burning and itching subsidized, and
I continued to improve steadily until I
was well-entirely cured. After COM

AGAIN POSTPONED.

BradstFeet's summing up of the his
tory of the years business tells q story
Of disappointment and puts forth no
hope for the future. Of course, the
blame is laid at the door of everything
but the real cause.-The gold standard
The report shows the total number Of
failures for the year to be 1912, with
liabilities of s247OOG,OOO. This is an
increase of 16 per cent over the failures
Of 1895, and IS per cent over those of
1894. The report says: General trade
revival was predicted for the spring Of
1895, when the presidential campaign
interfered and it was postponed until
after election. When it was found that
the starting up of a few hundred shops
and factories was not followed by
corresponding increase in cOnsumptiVe
demand, general trade fiattened out in
December as it had not before for
many years. Yet, the Optimist cried
aloud that business would pick up by
February and advance by leaps and
bounds by March. Intervention in
foreign affairs and a summer of drag
ging tariff revision would be likely,
however, to delay the return of good
times until next fall" Opening mills
is one thing, keeping them open is
another. The election Of the successor
to President Cleveland has not brought
about the prosperity which was ex-
pected and promised the moment it
vas known that Mckinley, sound money
and protection had scored a triumph
The demand for goods has not increas-
ed, but has rather experienced a de-
crease, and the mills that did open on
the strength of demagogic promises
soou had to close down again, and pros
perity's return was again postponed.
Postponment after pOstponment will
result until such legislation is enacted
as will serve to furnish the consumer
with money enough to buy of the pro-
ducts of the farm and workshop. 1t is
all very we'll to talk of doing business
on confidence, but the 1912 failures Of
1896 with liabilities of S247, 100000 af-
fords an example of what confidence
will do. The United States must get
back to doing business on a cash basis.
To accomplish this the minis must be
opened to silver as we'll as gold. When
that is done prosperity will have been
restored, until then it is futile to look
| for il.

Unite and Conquer.


"Uuite and conquer" is the advice
given by the New York Times to the
banks and money power; unite and
conquer is the advice we tender to the
great body of Americans engaged in the
production of wealth and whose inter
ests are antagonized by the speculative
cliques, says Wharton Barker, the
editor of the American.
If those who recognize in the appre-
ciating gold standard an agency of the
money cliques to enslave mankind had
acted on this maxim, upon which the
| New York Times now calls the gold con-
! tractionists to act, Mr.. Bryan would not
have met with defeat. If those who see
in the demands for currency contrac-
ton further step towards the grinding
down of our producing classes TO that
poverty which must ultimately lead to
/ their enslavement, would successfully
resist the schemes for such contraction
now cropping up on all sides, they must,
profting from their past mistakes, take
! lessons from their enemies, and act
henceforward on the knowledge gained
by experience, that to divide is to court
defeat-that to unite is to conquer.
During the past quarter of a century
those who have laid their plans to place
the producing classes of the world under
a growing tribute so that their Golfers
might be filed with unearned gains,
have ever acted on the principle that to
unite is to conquer. Aud during this
period the producing classes, though
they have gradually awakened to the
entertainments of the money eliques
and perceived the forces that are sap
ping their vitality, have failed to rec
ognize that first principle of successful
resistance to encroachments or effort
TO regain lost position, a principle we'll
understood by their enemies; that only
| by united and sustained effort can vic
tory he achieved. Thus, ever at a great
disadvantage, not from any inherent
weakness, but from this failure to unite
their strength, our producing classes
have ever net defeat, while those bent
on laying an increase tribute on theiI
backs have ever conquered. And now
in the face of defeat, those who have
been striving to lift from the backs oil
cur producing classes the grevious bur
den of falling prices that needs mus
destroy the profits Of industry, cannot
offer successful resistance to the fur
Their steps of currency contraction nov
demanded with a view to still further
depressing prices, unless they viii dc
that which they have hitherto failed
t to d0-anite their strength.

The LINTON DgsERTIoN.
The Facts About the Linton DesertiOu
and War Service.

The Facts About the Linton DesertiOn
and War Service.
DesertiOn from the army at the close
of the war and while the mastering out
of the troops was delayed only by red
tape has never been looked upon as a
serious offense by even the government.
The republican boosters have discover
cd that a Bryan elector, W. H. Linton,
of Independence, Kan, had done this,
and instantly it was magniied into
heinOus crime. The grounds for the
charge is the following record taken
from the adjutant generals Office:
"William H. Linton entered service
November %, 1864, aged D, substitute;
deserted at Louisville, KY, on June u,
1865" State Senater-elect II. W. Young
of Montgomery county, makes a state
ment concerning the charge: "While l
have not seen Mr.. Linton or had any
communication with him since these
attacks we're made upon him, I under
stand that be is a member of the Grand
Army of the Republic aud that his
name is borne upon the pension rolls
neither of which could very we'll he if
he was a deserter.
"Be that as it may, an old acquaint-
ance of Mr. Linton in Ohio, who is now
a resident of Independence, Mr.. James
VOORHEES,, gives some facts in regard to
Lintou's military record that are worth
noting. He was a substitute, it is true,
but that, when all the circumstances
are taken into consideration, was Ger
taiuly nothing to his discredit. His
brother. George. a man physically not
robust or in good health, and with a
young family dependent upon him, had
been drafted. Owing to his physical
disability, he did not suppose he could
pass the required examination, but be
did, and was held for service. 1t near
| " broke him down, and be was terribly
depressed. Then his young brother,
Will, who was unmarried, stepped for
ward and said: I'll take his place.
Who will think any the less of Will
Linton for that?
"Then as to the desertion. The war
had been over for months. Men whose
term of enlistment had expired we're
lying in camp at various places in the
south, with nothing on earth to do but
kill time, while they waited the red tape
business of a formal discharge The
country's peril was over. There was no
reason why these brave soldiers should
keep away from their homes, and hun
dreds and thousands of them simply
walked away and went home. The gov
eminent was not harmed; the desertiOn
was only technical. 1t has not been
held to be a stain on the character OF
any honorable soldier; and the record
of these boys in blue has been correct
ed whenever a request has been made,
Verify, the republicans are hard up fol-
campaign material when they make
such charges as this against Linton
He was brave soldier, but when the
war was over and the government did
not need him for q soldier any longer
be waited three months for a discharge
and then quit"

JAPAN has more ships on the Pacific
than the United States. This is humil-
sting but true. The fault lies in the
shipping laws concocted by statesmen,
save the mark. who believe in the same
principle of commerce that led the
rulers Of ancient China to construct
great wall about their dominion. The
result has been the same in both cases
the world has rolled on and left
them. The American flag Ouce floated
from as fine a merchant marine as ever
parted the waters Of any ocean. To-
day it consists Of few mail steamers
which exist by reason of subsidies. The
legislation compelling ships seeking
American registration to be built 10
the protected shipyards of America, in
theory, is patriotic sentiment, but in
practice it has driven our merchant
marine from every sea.
