THE PROFANE STROMSBURG
FARMER.
Baskerville Citizen.)

"Up at Stromsburg a farmer sold his
wheat, paid his mortgage and floating
Indebtedness, bought his wife a new
range and sewing machine, took 500 to
go to Buffalo and gave himself and his
poor tired wife an outing, and had
$500 left. When he had finished all the
business he wiped his brow with his
shirt sleeve and remarked L voted for
BRYAN last fall, but I'm -- glad he
wasn't elected New York Times.
The only possible inference from this
profane conclusion of the StrOmsburg
farmer is that he-and the New York
Times-believe that if Bryan had been
elected there would have been no fam
inc in India, no short wheat crop all
over the world outside of the United
States and Canada, and that therefore
wheat would not have advanced in
price. Conversely, the election of Nc
Kinley caused the famine in India, the
partial failure of the grain crop in
Russia and other continental countries,
and the advance in the price of wheat.
We may be permitted to wonder, also,
what would be the exclamation Of this
Stromsburg farmer if he were a cotton
planter in one of the Southern States.
The price of cotton is nearly two cents
lower than it was twelve months ago
while the price of nearly all the articles
the farmer cannot raise and must buy
has advanced. If the farmer of New
York. sitting amid the prosperity ex
tended by balance of $500, can still
he profane. what in the list of verbal
Explosives is left to the Southern plant
er. with which to express his pent-uT
emotion, his profound despair?

To Cure
ScrOfuld

1t ought to interest everybody to
know that the terrible affection
called Scrofula is the forerunner of a
still more terrible disease. Scrofu1a
is the seed of consumption. 1t is SO
deep-seated and obstinate that not
one doctor in hundred can cure it.
To cure Scrofula, you must cure the
blood. You must go down to the
roots and reach deep. A Guessing
over with mineral poisons is not
only useless, but makes things a
great deal worse.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1897-10-14

Swiffs Specific cures Scrofula
when nothing else will. 1t purifes
and vitalizes the blood 1t drives
out the poisonous elements. 1t stops
the accumulation of morbid deposits.
1t is purely vegetable, and is the
discovery of an eminent scientist.
1t is for the blood alone that is all
it is good for. If you have Scrofula,

Labyrinth or Underground Passages
Found ia Paris.
All Paris just now, according
to the Journal, is focking TO %
Rue Ravignan, M ontmartre, where,
q few days ago, a most remarkable
discovery was made. In this
neighborhood are the ruins Of the
ancient monastery of the Bene-
dictines and other old buildings
used by the Brothers, most of
which are also giving way to the
ravages of time. At % Rue Ra-
vignan Nine Berthelot keeps
grocery store. She sleeps in
email chamber in the rear that at
one time was probably used as an
oratory.
Nine Berthelot, noticing that
the tiles on the floor of the cham
Der gave forth hollow sound as
she stepped upon them, and think
ing that cellar there would be very
convenient for herbusiness, sent for
. mason and had the tiles removed.
A fight of stone steps was reveal
ed, leading into labyrinth OF
passages. The authorities have
now taken possession of the place
and systematic investigation is
being conducted. Many relics
have been found, and it is believ-
ed that much light is likely to be
thrown upon the history of Paris
during the fourteenth century.

why GoIdbugs Rejoice.

One of the silver organs asks plain
lively why the heartless goldbugs should
rejoice when silver declines. Is not sill
yer one of our products, it asks, and is
not our national wealth reduced when
silver goes down? If silver were treated
as the commodity which it is, and there
were not a strong political effort to up
set business in order to give it, or try to
give it, a fictitious value, every gold
standard man would be as sorry to see
its price decline below the profit point
as he is to see iron or wheat decline be-
low the profit point But as the silver
ties are trying to force silver into mon
etary use at value far above its real
worth, or to upset all prices and scale
down all obligations, and bring about a
commercial chaos, they must excuse the
gold standard men for rejoicing in ev-
cry incident that makes those injurious
purposes more difficult of accomplish
ment, and the continued decline of sill
yer does that
The cost of producing silver has been
declining, and so far as the decline in
its selling price is responsive to
T this 1t is not disastrous to the miner
and is highly favorable to all per-
sons who have occasion to use silver in
the arts, and to this extent the decline
is public benefit. New York Journal

William p ECnbright & Co. Of Col
orado Springs say in their mining letter:
THE world IS entering upon an era
of largely increased gold produCtion-of
this there can be little doubt Never
has the search been carried on with
such vigor, over such wide areas or
with such general success. The causes
which have produced this increased gold
thirst need not be stated here; that it
exists has been strikingly shown in the
rapidity OF. the spread of the Klondike
excitement and the eager exploration of
other new goldfelds, as well as in the
largely increased production of the es-
tablished districts 1t should be possible
at this time to form an intelligent esti-
mate of the extent Of this increase and
to forecast the output of the current
year Barring some calamitOus occur
renee, the product Of the Cripple Greek
district will be fully $12, 900, 900, a
gain of 81 per cent over our figures for
1896 Colorado's output should reach
$50, 0p0, 900, which exceeds Director
of TIE Mint Preston's 1896 figures by
"a per cent, Or gain Of 10 per cent for
the state outside Of the Cripple Greek
district Sixty millions of dollars seems
at the present time very safe estimate
of the production of the United States.
1.-The world output of gold for 1896
was about S21S, 600, 600 From present
indications no very large increase is to
be expected from either Australasia or
Russia The South African increase,
however, promises to be notable. The
Rand output for the first six months of
the current year exceeded that of the
corresponding period Of 1896 by about
30 per cent, ard while it is not likely
that this ratio will be maintained
throughout the year the increase may
very easily be 20 per cent, or about So
900, 900. The highest percentage Of gain
will doubtless be found il the case of.
Canada and the British northwest,
where the production is likely to jump
from 50, 600, 600 in 1896 to $4,000, 600
in 1897, the result largely of the phe-
nomenal output of the Klondike. Based
on these figures, the prediction may
safely be made that the worlds gold
production for 1897 will approximate
S240, 900, 900, gain of about 10 per
cent over the preceding year.

The old lady Of Threadneedle street

agrees to hold one fifth of its reserve i'll
silver, which it is permitted to do by
an act Of parliament Of 1874 In reality
it agrees to do so only under conditions
as difficult of realization as if it had
said when the sun turns backward in
its course. " These conditions are that
the French mint shall "be again open

the prices at which silver is procurablc
