s.SOund Money!

Sound Money, monthly published in
the interest of Wall street, says: 1--WE
Believe that the notes of sound and
strong banks are the best kind of paper
money, because they have real assets
behind them, and are not dependent
upon legislation for their value" Who
is to Judge whether the bank of issue is
sound and strong? The banker him
self? Would Sound Money be willing
to take one of these notes with real
assets behind it, unless the govern
ment first "legislated" Uncle Sans in

hammered by Gold standard.

When out of 16 railroads reporting
their gross receipts for the second week
In April there is hardly an instance
of gain over the corresponding week
of last year, it shows how impossible
it is for the country to do its best
while business continues hampered by
the single gold standard. Such figures
ought to convince the goldites of the
necessity of the country adopting bi.
metallism instead of forcing il to en-
dure the gold standard until England
gives its consent to change.-Illinois

DELUDED WORKINGMEN.
How the McnOpoIists Come 1t Over
the People.


the People.
In the specifications of the legislation
asked by the Federation of Labor for
the relief of the idle workingmen there
is mention of an eight-hour law, the
reform of the currency, the restriction
of immigration and liberal appropria-
tons for internal improvements, but
not word abcsIt the protective tariff.
Maj. Mckinley, Boss Hanna, Speaker
Reed and Mr.. Dingley, who are running
the country ''in the interest of the work
ingmen," will doubtless be greatly sur
prised when they read the federation's
memorial to find that the great benefi-
cence of high tariff has been entirely
overlooked by its supposed beneficiaries.
They will rub their eyes with astonish-
ment when they find that nearly every
other kind of legislation has been pre-
ferred by the Iaborers TO that wonderful
specific for hard times-the protective
tariff.
This is evidently all wrong. All of the
distinguished statesmen mentioned
have repeatedly declared that the very
thing needed to bring prosperity, health
and happiness to the working men is
protective tariff, and that the higher
it is the better. They have represented
the workingmen as hungering and
thirsting for tariff taxes and have
averred that millions of them went to
the polls and voted the republican ticket
chiefly because the republicans prom
Used them a bountiful supply of pros
perity taxes. 1t is evident that the
working men do not know what is good
for them or what they want.
But the error of the working men does
not stop there. In their remarkable
memorial they ask whether the Inter
ests of the trusts. syndicates, monopo-
lies, corporations and moueyed men
shall be of more Importance than the
welfare of the people"
Surely these working men are fools
and blind if they do not see that the in
terests of the trusts and syndicates are
the interests of the people. Did not the
trusts and syndicates save the country
in the recent campaign? If millions
were net given to the trusts and syndi-
Gates. how would the poor get any
money? IL there were no tariff baronS,
who would build beautiful memorials
for the delectation of the poor?
We have too much confidence in the
firmness and patriotism of the repub-
lican statesmen in control of the party
to believe that they will be diverted
from their high purpose of taxing the
country into prosperity by the plea of
the working men, who do not realize
what blessings big taxes are.-St. Louis
Republic

''It's come" she whispered TO herself:
hut I'm too old now, and / dare say
it's dreadful stupid at my age; yet it
would be just like tearing my heart out
to refuse to go out walking, and with
him, too. I'll go this once, and then
it will be something to look back Upon"
But the once became twice. thrice, and
the man would take no refusal; he ar

said one; another: II CUES it's one of
Dicks pranks;" and many other re-
marks were made, and were carefully
repeated to Ellen, in whose sensitive
heart they scorched and burned like
fire. And if Dick hadn't been very firm
and determined she would have refused
to go out walking any more.
They're right, I'm too old she
would humbly say.

"; don't you heed them. There's not

And without another word the woman
fastened the ribbon round her throat;
and remarkably we'll it suited her, set

her lover regarded her with loving,

President MckinIey's recent appoint
nents are being criticised as part -san.
EioqUentIy many esteemed contempo-
raries point out the fact that these ap-
pointments are made solely in the in
terest of the republican machine. This
criticism is amusing. What sane man
ever expected anything else? Who
would seriously anticipate any impor-
tant appointment being made by re-
publican official for any reason save the
furthering of republican machine ends?
y public office, in the republican point
of view. is purely a party affair. Why

tradition of his tribe and appointing
purely for partisan purposes ?-Tam-

Logic of London Economist Ii bad,
But Figures Tell the Truth.
The changes in prices of the principal
commodities during the past quarter have
been fairly numerous, but have in no case
been decided in character. The advances
among the list which forms the basis of
our calculations are quite numerous as
the declines, but the latter are rather more
pronounced, and have consequently had
a greater influence on the index number,
which, by combining the effect of the pre-
vious movements. gives a general idea of
the course of prices.
AS compared with the end Of December
last this shows further slight reduction,
indicating a continuance of the tendency
towards a gradual lowering of prices which
has been observable since the beginning
OF 1896 The movements in the index num-
Der at quarterly periods since the end Of
1885 have been as follows:

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like thief at night, 1t steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and someA
times In the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has bad taste, espe-
cially in the morning. A sort Of sticky
slime collects about the teeth. The APP
petite is poor There is feeling like n
heavy load on the stomach; sometimes
faint, all-gone sensation at the pit OF
the stomach which food does not satisfy.
Eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy After a while
cough sets In, at first dry, but after
few months 1t Is attended with green
lsh colored expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest. After time
he becomes nervous, irritable ana
gloomy, and has evil torebodings.
There is q glddiness, a sort of whlrlinG
sensation In the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels becOm costive;
the SKINS dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and siagnant. the whites
of the eyes become tlnged with yellow;
the urine Is scanty and high colored, de-
posting sediment after standing,
There Is frequently u splitting up of the
food, sometimes with n sour taste and
sometimes with u sweetish taste this Is
frequently attended with paIpltatton OF
the heart: the vision becomes impaired
with spots before the eyes, there is
feeling OF great prostratton and weak
ness. All Of these symptoms are in turn
present. II Is thought that nearly one
third of ctr population has this disease
in some of its varied forms. II has been
found that medical men have mistaken
the nature Of this disease. Some have
treated 1t for liver complaint, some for
dyspepsia, others for kidney disease,

of treatment have been attended with
success.
