THE DIFFERENCE.

Have you ever noticed the difference in
the way in which two men will drive a
horse? One man will get the best speed,
the longest service. the greatest effort,
without particle of strain or friction,
from the animal he drives. The other
man will get less work and less results,
and yet have the horse in tremor of
nervousness and a lather of foam. There
is Just such a difference between medi-
cines for the liver. Some Medicines
the majority of them, the liver in
to action, but so fret it aud chafe it that
all the good of the medicine is cOunteraCt-
ed by the irritation set up from its use.
Ayers Cathartic Pills give the best re-
sultsiwith the least friction. They lead
instead of driving They coax the liver
instead OF laShing and squirting it. They
cure long standing cases of dyspepsia,
biliousness. and liver diseases The

Making Golden Handouts.

After looking the senate over and
having discovered that a cut-and-dried
goldite monetary commission could not
be appointed this session, the admins
tration has determined to have cur
rency bill prepared to be presented at
the December meeting of congress.
The secretary Of the treasury, assisted
by all of the ablest gold monometal-
lists in this country and England, will
devote the summer and autumn months
to the connecting Of some sort Of mea-
sure that that can be railroaded
through congress and that shall snap
the golden handouts on the wrists Of
American commerce. The contempt
ible hypocrisy of the Republican party
has nowhere a stronger illustration
question. AS long as the goldites could
do so they smuggled measures secretly
through congress that had in them the
deadliest enmity to silver. When this
secret method could no longer be pur-
sued, then came the era of lies and
false promises. A pretended desire to
secure international bimetallism has
been urged by the Republicans as an
excuse for delay and as a sop to silver
men. The utter insincerity Of such a
claim is now made manifest by the
talk about currency bill and the form
which that bill is going to take. Now
the time has arrived when all disguise
Is going to be thrown aside. The fact
that 6,5OO,0 900 men voted for free silver
at the last Presidential election served
notice on the Republican plutocrats
that the people could no longer be
fooled, deceived or cajoled, and now the
money sharks are going to try cosr-
cion.
It is we'll. We are glad that the is
sue has at last been made. Too long
have the friends of silver delayed and
doubted. The plutocrats have ever
had one purpose-the slaughter Of sill
yer. This fact is now apparent. There
is no longer any disguise. Silver
men should realize that the struggle
is to the death, that compromise is
cowardice, and cowardice is defeat
