The GIeenville Herald saws

THE GJeenville Herald says
'EThe demonstration by the lead
ing nations of the earth, at the
instigation of the holders o.
capital, of one OF the natura
money metals, doubling the pur,
chasing power of a dollar, and
reducing by one half the pur-
chasing power of days labor.
was the colossal crime against
the civilization of the country. Il
this great wrong is not righted
by international agreement OF
through the initiative of strong
government like the United
States, humanity will have to
submit to condition of hopeless
slavery, or rise in revolution and
rebellion in which thrones will
crumble and republics be shaken
to their foundations. The
events of the last few years show
conclusively that a powerful
combination is working to place
all the commercial nations of the
earth on a single gold basis. The
present decline in silver the cause
of which no one can explain, has
brought about the agitation of a
gold basis for Mexico and the
argument for a universal gold
standard instead of an inter-
national bimetallic standard is
demanded. If the republican ad-
ministration fails to bring about
international bimetalhsm, and
the democrats do not gain con-
troll of the presidency and both
branches of congress in 1900 on
a platform pledging the remone-
tization of silver, the industrial
slavery of mankind, in SO far as
governments can bring it about,
will be final. The gold standard
will be universal and the con-
dition of mankind will be hope
less"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There IS
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eust4chian Tube.
When this tube gets inhsmsd you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation eau be
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an irfamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh) THAT can
not be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure. Send

plan to have loose salt where the
animals may have daily access
to it. Prof Robertson of the On

says that salt to the amount of a
pound a day should be added to
the ration of a milk cow. He
says that the other conditions
being equal, a COW fed this
amount of salt daily will yield IA
to II per cent more and richer
milk, than if deprived of salt;
then in hot weather milk will
keep sweet several hours longer
if salt is part of the daily
ration.

SOUTHERN GOLD FIELDS

While the Klondike is being
doomed and the big nuggets from
that inhospitable cline are being
displayed to the discontinue of
thousands of restless fortune
hunters who can not raise a
stake for 5000 mile journey and
a years supply of provisions,
the good state of Georgia is
attracting no little attention to a
gold mine of its own, and where
honest labor, and not mere
chance, promises certain and
gratifying returns.
Georgia's mine is located partly
in its melon patch and partly in
its orchards and gardens. The
big 78-pound watermelon sent
to the white house is the occasion
for the renewed attention which
the press is directing toward
Georgia. The state has had her
gold mines in reality, but they
never yielded the money that her
famous melon patches have given
up. Latterly, too, the fruit from
that section is becoming famous
and profitable, while carloads of
vegetables sent to the northern
markets are annually and rapidly
increasing in number. The
Philadelphia Ledger sagely re-
marks in this connection that
there is more wealth in the sur
face of the soil of State that
can produce such vegetables
than there is under it, and that
Georgia will find her profit in
continuing to develop this branch
of industry. The Carolinas and
Florida are keeping close to
Georgia in this line of gold hunt
ing, and more men will take for
tunes out of the soil of those
States in the next ten years than
will strike it rich in the K1Ondike
country.
1t is encouraging to know that
south Texas is beginning at last
to- recognize this vein of wealth
also. Each year our shipments
of vegetables and melons and
fruits to the markets north CT us
are growing in volume and in
popularity. Of course, it is the
early shipment in which the
is found, but our magnifi-
cent climate and accommodating
soil render early shipments pos |
sible. There is an immense
in Colorado, Ne
Oraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa !
and Illinois to be supplied natu-
rally by our coast region in the
early spring, and but little dan
ger of the supply ever outstrip-
ping the demand. Millions of |
dollars go annually into the Car
olinas and Georgia for early
fruits and melons and vegeta- |
oles, and millions might Just as
easily come to the Texas coast
region for the same class of pro- |
lucts.
South Texas has more unde-
7eloped wealth than the KIon- |
like, and it is time our people
md fortune hunters elsewhere
we're recognizing this fact and
beginning to dig for it in good
earnest.

SOMETHING ABOUT Split MILK.


Col. VIM. G. Sterrett, Wash
ington correspondent of the Gal
veston-Dallas News, mildly re-
minds the Mckinley aiders and
abetters that they should not be
the least surprised at the recent
action of the republican party,
and says:
"Among those who opened their eyes very
widely at the course of the republicans are
the gold men of the democratic party. Why
should they be surprised? Why should they
even lift their eyebrows in establishment!
The answer can be but one way, and that is.
that the SAID democrats, SO intense were they
in their efforts to preserve the currency oil
the country from what they deemed an at
tack from the silver forces, that they over
looked what the republicans were promising
the country. For at no time did Mckinley in
those little speeches which he made on his
front porch at Canton dwell on the currency
issue, but at all times accumulated the fact
that higher and protective tariff was what
the country needed to bring it out of the
mire, and that the republican party stood for
protective tariff, and all that. When he
did talk about the currency question he
talked of it Notwithstanding on the Or
der of the remark that we wanted the mills
and not the minis opened. Of course he
said we wanted substantial and safe cur
rency. Bryan said this also. Every speak
er in the country on both sides said It,"
Overlooked what the republic
cans were promising the coun-
try" is simply great, says the
Alvarado Bulletin, which de-
clares that Col. Sterrett has
given utterance to nothing better
in a decade, and adds:
''If they did overlook what the
republicans promised they are
a peculiar set, if they simply
ignored said promises they are a
queer crew. In either case they
are not the kind of sentinels the
democracy should place on
guard.
However, the heads of some of
the leaders of these idolaters are
cooler now than they were one
year ago. AT that time they
were chagrinned because they
had lost control of the party
machinery. They were playing
the part of dethroned bosses
over the loss of power.
They were playing to defeat the
party that refused further to
tamely to their domino
ton. They did not stop to con-
slider what republicanism has
cost the country in the past nor
what it would cost in the future.
They had a rule-or-ruin griev-
ance against the party that had
honored them in the past, and
yet had the temerity to assert
that the majority should rule.
This was what was the matter
with the crowd that broke away
from the democracy in 1896.
This truth is evidenced by the
fact that never once during the
campaign did they open their
mouths against McKinleyism,
Hannaism nor repubicanism, but
On the other hand belabored
democracy from the beginning of
5he campaign to the end of it.
They can now see what they
nave done. If it is a case OF split
milk they alone are to blame.
they have three years in which
% swap work with each other and
1ick themselves on the reciproc-
ty plan.''

WHO is RESPONSIBLE !?

The Louisville Dispatch, il
commenting on Carlisle's asser-
ton that the silver party was re-
sponsible for the obnoxious
Dingley tariff, ventilates Carlisles
record in the following truthful,
but caustic manner:
Carlisle and Lindsay were
both aiders and abettors of the
republican party in the election
of Mckinley, and they are re-
sponsible, with their political as
soeiates, for his election to the
presidency, and they are respon-
sible for the republican majority
in the house. The Dingley bill
could never have passed the
house if it had not been for the
treason of Clevelnnd and his fol-
lowers in the last election, which
gave the republicans a majority
in the house of representatives.
They are responsible for McKin-
ley, who will sign it. 1t is no
unsual thing for a captured thief
or an arrested felon to cry "Stop.
thief!'' to divert attention from
himself, or to swear that another
committed the deed of which he
himself is guilty. The only as
tonishing thing about it is that
men of such heretofore high
standing would stand up in the
face of the intelligent people of
Kentucky and make such state
ment. 1t is the very essence of
all that is little and contemplate
in politics.
