official circles in Madrid. 1t is re-
marked that General Weyler has
thrown off the mask of military dis
cipline worn until he laid down his
command, and that now it is clear
that he intends to play the part OF
political and military leader of the adj
versaries of home rule in Spain and
Cuba, appealing to Spanish patriotism
and to that spirit of hostility to the
United States which is actively fos-
tered by the press, in the cortes and
elsewhere in the Union Constitution
party and the uncompromising Tories
like Robledo Ell Duoyen and the Duke
of Tetun, and others.

COMPETITOR CASE.
Spain VIII Satisfy the Demands of the
State Department.

State Department.
Madrid, Nov. 2-The Competitor case
has been taken up by Foreign Minis
ter Gullon, Minister Moret and Naval
Minister Bermejo, to whom the matter
had been referred by the cabinet. The
communication from the United States
government abiding to the affair was
carefully examined, together with the
Spanish evidence that the Competitor
was filibuster. After mature cOnsid-
Grafton the ministers named reached
the conclusion, in view of the preced
ents established in the case by the
Duke of Tetuna while he was foreign
minister and by the conservative cabi-
net of Senior Canovas and General
Azcarraga, that Spain must satisfy the
demands of the American state depart
ment.

Buffalo, Aug 24-The week Of the annual

Is This Result Desirable?

Should this country alone attempt
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to /, it would thereby give notice that
we are ready to exchange for all Corners
a quantity of gold which is valued at 81
in every civilized country for quaint
ty of silver which represents i'll the
markets of the world about so cents.
In very short time all gold would
disappear. Itwould be boarded to await
a premium or shipped to countries
where it is more appreciated. Only sill
yer would remain our circulating medi-
UNI. We would be on silver basis. Our
standard would be dollar worth little
more than so cents in every country but
our own.
All values would quickly adjust them
selves to this deprecated dollar and
would fuctuate with its changing value
in international exchange.

Banking For Farmers.


The American Agriculturist of April
4 again discusses editorially the "entire
feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers. "This can be done, =
it says, "by slight notifications of the
system of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved SO remarkably
successful in American cities. These in
situations now hold over $500, 900, 900
of deposits and are thoroughly demon
strated practical success. The Saxon
Land Credit association Ca report upon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary of state, Washington is a
modification of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia and Germany has
achieved the same success among the
working farmers of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
our American cities. The peoples banks
of Italy and neighboring countries based
upon much the same plan, have had
marvellous success. A report giving fur
Their particulars upon the Saxon Land
Credit association has been published
by the department. of state for free dis
tribution, in which Consular Agent Pc
tiers says with truth that can never be
questioned:
What American farmers require to relieve
them of the present financial strain under
which they are living is the power to borrow
at the lowest possible interest consistent with
their securities and the financial conditions in
the great centers of the world So long as they
must borrow from the local money lender they
must paw high rate of interest for accommo-
dation. 1t is this high rate of interest under
which our farmers are striving and fall
ing that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction. Remove the high rate of
interest, give them the same opportunity to
use their credit as men engaged in other bust
ness exchange the present mortgage on the
farm for one with reasonable interest, which
the farmer can pay and have something left
for the savings bank, and we will restore hap
piness and prosperity.
This question has been solved by the farmers
and landholders of Europe and the solution
of the problem did not consist in the issue by
the government of mass of debased currency
circulated among the people at a fictitious
value. The end was reached by the farmers
and landholders by their own force and CO.
operation by the founding of associations
which in time became power in the land and
whose financial strength was measured by mil
lions of undoubted securities which the public
was only too glad to invest in.

But, if you are sure of it, that is, if you

something more than an ordinary

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 int1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken

are caused by catarrh, which is moth
