COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling Of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing a
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcere is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whcle mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing cOnsump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radical y cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds OF the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
BRAZILIAN BALM is the only known remedy
immature that will accomplish this result.
1t will heal any old sore. Snuff solu-

Man and Wealth.

That system of political economy
which makes wealth and not man
the ultimatum is based on a monstrous
fallacy-on a fallacy so slavish and so
detestable that the wonder is how ac-
complished ard personally amiable
men can be found as its abettors. The
fallacy is in taking the rents of the
landlord and the profits of the capt.
talist as the measure of good and evil,
instead of taking the condition of the
cultivators and of the laborers the
many as the sure index of the char
acter of system. Whatever tends to
debase man, to make him physically,
Intellectually or morally lower being,
is bad, however much or little the
wealth produced may be. The wealth
is not the stable element. 1t is an acct
dental, and by no means an important,
adjunct. Man is the stable element.
His condition is the standard. His i'm
provement is good. His deterioration
is an evil. And this is Independently
of all other considerations. All other
conditions are secondary, dependent,
subsidiary to the great intention. Man
Is not useful as he produces wealth,
but wealth is useful as it sustains man,
ameliorates his condition, improves his
capacities, gives opportunities for his
further cultivation and aids his prog
ress in the great scheme of human re-
generation.-A Physician.

The Worlds Newspaper Circulation.

In the Review Of Reviews" a sta
tistician estimates the annual aggre-
gate of the circulation of the papers of
the world at 10000, 100000 copies. He
says: "To grasp the idea of this mag
nitude we may state that 1t would
cover no fewer than 10, 450 square miles
OF surface; that 1t is printed on $751;
$50 tons of paper, and, further, that II
the number Q2,000,000,0O0 represent.
ed, instead of copies, seconds, 1t would
take over 1893 years for them to elapse.
In lieu Of this arrangement, we might
press and pile them vertically upward
to gradually reach our highest noun
rains. Topping all these, and even the
highest Alps, the pile would reach the
magnificent altitude of 400, or, in round
numbers, 500 miles. Calculating tina.
the average man spends five minutes
reading his paper in the day ttis a
very low estimate), we find that the
people of the world altogether annual
ly occupy time equivalent to 100000
years reading the papers"

you how soon do you think, If McKin.

be perfected?
Banker-Well, think we can conf,
IDENTIFY expect to bring it about in ten
years. Yes, let me see. Yes, think
it is safe to say in ten years.
Farmer-Ten years, did you say?
Heaven protect us! Why, my dear Mr..
Morgan, my farm will be gone long be-
fore that time, and my children will
have grown up in ignorance.
Banker-Possibly so, my friend, but
be loyal to the old party; be patriotic;
be honest. What is home compared
to the gold standard platform of our
party? What is an educated family
compared with a reputation for honor
and patience such as you will have if
you can hold out until England gives
us permission 20 coin silver?-Vidette.

BOGUS DIAMONDS.
False Stones That Pass In London
Society.

False stones That Pass In LONDON
Society.
Some curious stories can be told
about the thousands of false diamonds
sold yearly in London, says the Ash
ton Reporter. AS working goldsmith
I have seen a good deal Of the trade
in imitation stones. People of all ranks
buy them. A nobleman is in immediate
want of cash and must find it some
where. He will perhaps turn to his
family diamonds. Possibly 100000
could be raised upon them. He takes
the jewelry off to the false-diamond
provider, has the real stones removed
and the false ones put in and deposits
the actual gems with some one as a
security for loan. No one is a bit
the wiser. His wife appears in her
jewels just the same as usual. If she
didn't her husband would be made
bankrupt by his creditors the next
week. A large amount of business is
done in this way, and you may depend
upon it that the false-diamond mer-
chant has many chuckle when he
reads in his paper about Lady So-and-
Sos magnificent diamond bracelet
and the Countess Bareacre's superb
tiara"

MENT."
Governor Pingree Rises to Make . Few
Remarks.

Governor Pingree Rises to Make Few
Remarks.
Mr.. Pingree, mayor of Detroit, has
been elected governor of Michigan on
the Republican ticket, by virtue OF
preaching populistic principles. He
visited Chicago the other day and this
is the way he talked:
Michigan railroads will either sell
tickets for cents mile or they will
have their charters taken away. There
can be no compromise. There is not
one of the corporations which can go
into court and sustain it's present dis
eliminating practices. They allow the
rich men who can afford to advance
the money to ride for less than the
poor man. The farmer pays the same
freight rates that he did when his
wheat was worth nearly double its
present value. Everything has fallen
in price but railroad rates and railroad
fares. 1t is time the government was
taking hand in this matter and
standing between the people and the
trusts which are sapping the very life
blood of the nation. The fact that the
railroads sell some tickets for cents
mile is proof they would not lose
anything by selling all tickets at the
same price. There is no one who will
claim that any railroad ever sold any
tickets at loss. We propose to set
the example in Michigan.
"Gold standard talk has had its day.
There will never be another Republic
can convention which will write that
word in it's platform. If 1t does then
there will be a split and the best ele-
ments of all parties will get together
and sweep the country. There will
next time be strong bimetallic plat
form, and this is what the people want.
They will have learned by that time
that prosperity does not necessarily
come by the election of any one man
to the presidency, and that prosperity
cannot come until the laws are radi-
cally changed. Michigan would have
gone for free silver, but the gold men
scared the people to death with their
calamity bowls and the promises Of
prosperity whose sunshine is that of
Paradise alley"
This is all well enough, but we dis
trust the man who remains in the Re-
publican party while preaching such
doctrines. He is simply endorsing the
Sermon on the Mount while working
for the Devil. He is probably posing
now IN rim for nresident in four wears
from now on the Populist platform,
against the Populist party. He rep
resents the worst class Of tricksters,
who keep monopoly in power by con-
ceding that it is all wrong.
You cannot shout for Christ and
at the same time help Pontius PLATE
to send him to Calvary.-Ex.

PASS THIS ALONG.
Any sensible Person Can Understand


1t.
From the Chicago Record: Debts
and prices-Five years ago l was COM
PEELED to borrow $50 for seed wheat
from a Mr.. Wilson, a neighboring
farmer.
At the time he told me that he
might let me have fifty bushels OF
wheat from his own stock, but l
wished to experiment with a new
seed.
I declined this offer, as also his very
generous offer to buy for me fifty
bushels of seed with his $50, on the
ground that he was going to town on
other matters that very moment.
w.
l preferred not to bother him, so
accepted the $50, giving him my note
~ hand therefor.
v.
To-day. as he has also met with re-
verses, and will need seed wheat ere
long, he asks the return of the loan.
vi.
It is hard for me to raise it, and Mr..
Wilson appreciates this, so he tells
lie that while he undoubtedly loaned
me $50, it was exactly as if he had
loaned me fifty bushels of wheat, the
seed being worth $50 at that time, and
so he will be satisfied with either
fifty bushels of wheat, or $25, it's pres
ent equivalent, with interest.
VII.
| am wondering whether am honest
in accepting his proposition.
VIII.
Clearly I have profited nothing, as all
my products are selling at half what
they were worth five years ago. Clear
ly again Mr.. Wilson will not be poorer
by accepting $25 or the fifty bushels OF
seed, yet if 1 paid him $50 he would
be richer by $25, without, as he says,
having deserved it.
TX.
l also have mortgage of $4,000 on
my farm, placed ten years ago, which
| have had to reSew twice.
x.
1t is due this fall.
XII.
AS $500 has the same purchasing
power to-day as $4,000 had ten years
ago, will some one kindly explain II I
am dishonest in proposing to pay 1t
with $4,000?
Clearly the mortgage holder will
lose nothing, since the $4,000 is as val
liable as $4,000 was ten years ago
XIII.
And I shall profit nothing.
XIV.
Ny wheat, my cattle, my farm-all
possess in this worlds worth lust
one-half of what it was ten years ago.
XIV.
Is the proposition dishonest or shall
call the mortgage holder dishonest for
demanding twice as much as he orig
nally lent me, without deserving it?

Gov. Altgelds Remarks.
Governor Altgeld closed the speaking
by discussing the mission of the MI
nority Party" He said in part:
"All great reforms, all forward move
ments of the human race, were born
of, were nutured, rocked and reared
by minority parties. The minority par
ty being free from embarrassments can
devote it's best efforts to the considera-
ton of great principles. Its mission Is
to discover the pole star OF eternal
rights and to meet the newly devel-
oping wants and needs of our civillza-
ton.
Standard Oil Co. Anarchists.
"In 1896 the Standard Oil and the
great trusts and corporate interests
came to Chicago to again control the
party, but the democracy Of America
had shaken off it's stupor. They pro-
claimed again the rights Of humanity,
they raised again the banners of Jeffer-
son and Jackson, and they declared
that the democratic party must again
stand for democratic principles. They
adopted new declaration of indie
pendence, and they selected for their
standard-bearer him who made the most
remarkable campaign ever witnessed
by man. AS an intellectual achieve
ment, as feat of genius, as an heroic
struggle on the most lofty plane or
intelligence and morality, his perform
ances are without parallel in all his
tory. Never before was a great cause
more brilliantly and more ably cham
pioned. Never before was there such
a combination of adverse currents and
hostile forces to meet. While the forces
of plutocracy and corruption will seat

An UndemOcratic President.
The present administration has
trampled principle in the mud and
openly advocated that the government
should surrender its prerogative of is
suing bills that shall circulate as
money to the corporations. Jackson
found the money changers in the tenn
pie and drove them out, and when the
plutocracy of his day became insolent
and oppressive, as it is to-day, he de-
clared:
"'By the eternal, the people shall
rule this land, and not the money pow
err
The "Duck" Democracy.
"There will gather to-day at various
places in this country some men who
uphold and applaud the present admin
istration for the course 1t has taken in
insulting the memory of Jefferson and
splitting upon the good name Of jack
son, who yet insist upon calling them
selves democrats. We know we stand
for certain great principles. They
boast of representing the opposite prin-
ciples. yet there are men in the land
who say we should unite. Think of
opposites uniting! Let me ask what
would we represent then? Certainly
nothing but an appetite. Form such a
union, and there will be nothing left
that is worthy the ambition Of an
honorable man. Even the road to the
flesh pots will be heightened, but If we
stand by our colors success is in sight
and the relief of the people is near at
hand"
