Your correspondent in an interview with
Mr.. John Mcmillan, who resides at st. John,
Kansas, elected the following information
concerning the wonderful curative proper
hes contained in Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr., Mcmillan said:
"In the fail Of 1894, I with another man,
decided upon a hunting expedition into the
Indian Territory. Accordingly, we started
south late In the fall The weather was
damp and cold and we were compelled to
sleep on the ground with nothing but tent
for protection. The exposure, coupled with
the bad water. which IN that county con-
tains a great quantity Of alkali and gypsum,
caused me to contract a bad case OF kidney
/ trouble and rheumatism, something l had
never known before. After remaining in
the Territory for several months and con
/ tinuing to grow worse, concluded the best
thing for me to do was to come home, which
/ I proceeded to do, but became worse.
Il tried several remedies without avail.
/ My nights were spent in sleeplessness and
misery, and became convinced that l must
have help Immediately. Some one told me
/ the benefits they had derived from Dr.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills, and / determined to give
them a trial, which l did, and l can truth

/ What is more, / have never had a Fecur-
/ renee OF my trouble from the time of my re-
eoveTy until the present time. I can Ger
tainly recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills
as one of the best medicines on the market,
/ if not the best"
In conclusion, Mr.. Mcmillan asked lis if
We intended making his statement public,
/ and upon our affirmative reply he remarked
/ that he was perfectly satisfied, as he had
/ often contemplated doing so himself, as he
considered it a duty he owed to suffering
/ humanity
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
! condensed form, all the elements necessary
/ to give new life and richness TO the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
uRfailing specific for such diseases as loco

"Why don't you stop that hiecoughing!"

"Stop nothing!" said he. I've been try

Then they adjourned to a moistening es-

He took it and dissolved it in his mouth,
and the hiccOugns went as If by magic,
probably because their stay was over any
how, and not on account of the remedy, but
it cost the cold bottle Just the same and
some drinks besides. Still, he thinks he got

WHY Do liz
Some Pertinent and Timely Questions
and Their Answers.

Some Pertinent and Timely Questions
and Their Answers.
Why do the gold powers of the world
combine to cut off the market for silver
for coinage purposes and depress its
prices? Because they think that the
people are fools enough to believe that
silver is not fit for money if it is not
worth Just as much when there is no
demand for it for coinage purposes as
it was when there was a universal de-
niand, In other words, they act upon
the theory that the people are too ig-
ncrant to know that it is the coinage
demand for both gold and silver which
fixes their price, because that demand
is hundreds of times greater than all
other demands.
Why do the gold men call gold sound
money" and safe eurrency?" For the
same reason that the gambler who deals
marked cards declares that he is play
ing an honest game. In neither case
would the rascals succeed if they did
not deceive the public,
What makes money? The stamp or
fiat of the government. The material
upon which the fat is stamped has moth
ing 10 do with it. Money is simply Il
creation Of law.
What is the difference between a
Hessian soldier hired by Great Britain
to fight in the revolution and an Ameri-
can citizen who will take money or office
to aid the mother country to subjugate
the United States by means Of the
British gold standard? Morally speak
ing, the Hessian soldier is vastly su-
perior to the modern traitor. because
the soldier took the chances Of getting
killed while the traitor, like the gopher.
works under cover.
What makes the stock jobbers and the
eNtortionists think that gold is money
and that the law has nothing to do with
it? Because they can corner the gold
and rob the world, and it would be im-
possible for them TO corner the law.
Why was silver on a par with gold at
the ratio established by law for thou
sands of years and until the govern
ments of the United States and Europe
stopped stamping it, and when the gov
ernments ceased TO stamp silver equally
with gold, why did silver bullion de-
preciateinval ueas compared with goid2
The depreciation Of silver after it WIS
excluded from the minis was because
the stamp of the government had moth
ing to do with its market price; and the
feet that the market price Of silver
never fell below gold at the ratio estab-
lished by law until the United States
ard Europe refused to stamp it shows
eonclusvely to the goldbug mind that
the stamp upon metal making it coin
has nothing to do with its value.
Way DO the gold gamblers and usur-
ers want laws 10 enforce the payment
of debts while they resist the passage
Of laws which viii enable the debtor to
discharge his obligations by reason Of a
supply of legal tender money2 Because
they want The pound Of flesh nearest
the heart, like MI shy!0cks, and in thess
goldbug times they have avoided the
danger to which shyiock was exposed,
of shedding blood, By taking the law
into their OWE hands and leaving no
body TO punish them for their crimes

Aud why does he want eonmIssioa7
He has paid only half his election debts.
he has paid the sugar trust and the
other bsnehciaries Of the new tTaiH
steal. but he has not paid his friends
IN Wall street. They want the green
backs and the treasury notes to go,
and they must 60 if they are to be re-
warded according to contract.
I believe Mckinley has a conscience
yet. but he must 60 on, no matter how
reluctantly. BE would eEade, OF al

tempIated monstrous outrage upon the
people If he can. Hence he wants e
commission Of business men.
wonder If the recent Indianapolis
business mems convention was not ar
ranged as a part of the presidential
programme. 1t was opportunity held.
and the presidents message follows the
resolutions Of the convention as one
act of a play follows another act. It
is like a sequel. No one can doubt
what such a commission appointed by
the president would advise congress to
co. It would advise what Gage ad-
yises. And how convenient and how
helpful it would be for the president
tc put himself behind the opinions of
this august body of milionaires.
How rapidly strange things come to
amaze us. Let US quote the president
again, when he says: Our money is all
good. The sOundness Of our currency
/ is nowhere questioned. No loss can oc-
cur to its holders" With such cur
reney it would seem that there could
be but one real question remaining,
and that the question of amount. Have
we enough? should be the only dues
ton left. We could not now have toe
much, for then the president would not
admit that it is so good. Nor do I be-
Iieve the president, although a recent
convert to the gold standard-and new
converts are usually the most uurea-
sonable and impetuous-wOuld contend
that we can have too much good money,
the soundness Of which is nowhere
questioned, and the holders of which
are free from all danger Of loss. We
can have too little of such money, but
rot too much.
An adequate volume Of money In
creases its value by increasing its pur'
chasing power. In this view it may be
said that TIE less the volume is the
better the money is. Increase of vol
ume lowers the purchasing power Of
money, whether used to purchase la
Dor or Iabor's product. But as long
as our money is good, sound, etc; as
long as it comes up TO the Mckinley def
milton of what our currency now is
/ certainly we have not too much. Now
more, I hold it to be indisputable that
as long as our money can be kept up tC
that standard, the more we have of il
the better for the country. Along thi!
line, a few months ago we were con,
tending that we had not enough. We
were fighting for more. Now we ART
brought to face this new issue, which
Mr.. Mckinley, under the inspiration o.
New York bankers, is bringing to the
front-not more, but less.
The immediate fight now on IS moi
to get more, but to keep what we have
That is the issue Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.
Gage are making. That is a straug1
shifting of scenes, isn't it? But thai
will be the issue until 1900.
And then?

ever, and, 1 believe, with a different
