Those who have had the first
touchof Catarrh will save endless suf-
fering by taking the right remedy at the
outset. Others who have for years
sought relief and found only disappoint-
ment in local treatment will find it wise
to waste no further time on sprays,

are only temporary, and cannot save
them from dreaded Consumption.

cure them because it can reach their

AN ARSURDITY.

Ihe fall of silver during the past few
months goes to sustain the opinion that
with the present reduction, the United
States cannot restore its price SO that its
commercial value will be 16 to by adoptine.
its Independent free coinage 1t is falling
now because of the decreased demand and
well-sustained supply from all the mines
of the world. In a larger degree than
with gold capital and scientific processes
have tended to cheaper the production of
silver. Since the introduction of such
processes the supply of silver bullion has re-
sponded quickly to the fresh demand This
was shown when the so-called Sherman
purchase law was passed in 1890 1t was de-
signed that this law should absorb the out
put of the American mines at the market
price. Even Senator Jones was so conf
dent that this law would absorb the sur
plus of silver that he predicted it would
take silver to par with gold-that is, ST. 90 an
ounce. The output of our mines in 1890
was just equal to the governments pur-
chase for the year, but in two years the
output jumped to GO, 500 600 ounces, a gain
of nine million ounces, when the price rose
to between so and 80 cents an ounce. While
the United States was purchasing fifty
four million ounces year there was so
large an output and so much silver bullion
in the worlds markets that the average
price fell from $1.05 in 1890 to rs cents an
ounce before the repeal of the Sherman act
The price of silver bullion began to fall
in 1872, when the value of silver dollar
$1.022 and the worlds annual output
was g. Gil, 900 ounces. The output was not
above that any year but one until 1873. In
1877 it was 62679.OO0 ounces, but the silver
dollar had fallen to 92.9 cents. In 1873, while
the Sherman law was in force, but quite
sure to be repealed, the output was 165 472, :
GIL ounces with a coinage value of $2lS 944-
400. and the average price OF the bullion
in a silver dollar was 60 cents. Ia spite of
the low price of silver bullion in 1896 the
output was the largest ever known-16S sos, :
1858 ounces Its value was but S110, 073, 100
while it would have made 2l7.6lOSOO silver

Never was so much silver coined in the
same period as during the years that it
fell nearly 50 per cent. Its fall was due
mainly to the increase of production. from

could be expected when it was three times
as much? Silver has fallen to the low fig
ure of to-day because the demand is not
equal to the supply. 1t will continue to fall
until there is no considerable number Of

duce silver bullion at 50 cents an ounce.
the present price.
With all the nations. except Mexico and
China, using the gold standard and thus
curtailing the demand for silver, it is pre-
posterous to assume that by independent
free coinage the United States can raise
the price of silver bullion from SO cents to
s1.29 an ounce. If by taking the whole out
put of the American mines in 1890 the gov
eminent could not prevent the rapid de-
cline of the price of silver it cannot expect

DANGERS OF THE TRAVELLING
CANDIDATE.

Word comes from Nebraska that a con-
ference of Mr.. Bryan's friends has been
held for the purpose of inducing him to
drop travelling about the country and de-
livering lectures. They believe that it is bet
ter for him to go to his home and stay
there. AS an inducement to do this his
friends have. it is reported, offered to make
him the Popocratic candidate for Governor
next year, assured that his election to that
Office would give his candidacy greater as
surance.
friends have discovered, what many
other people who are not friends
discovered long since, which is that
Mr.. Bryan will discredlt himself with the
people of the country if he continues to
travel about to keep himself before the peo-
pie. There can be but little doubt that this
would be the result. The rear-end platform
may do during a campaign, but the people
fgthe United States not yet prepared
to regard with favor the persistent as
pirant who roams over the country to adj
vertise himself as a presidential candidate
The memory of the names of Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant re-
calls men of dignity of character and de-
meanor. The people will compare this
eager aspirant, racing up and down the
country, making speeches at 50 cents
head or for no admission, with the names
mentioned, and very much to his disadvan-
tage as the months of hurrying about in
crease. The period between this time and
the election will be one for calm reflection
on the part of the people, during which
they will carefully consider Mr.. Bryan as
professed candidate for the presidency. A
people of employments, they will ask why
it is that this man who seeks the presidency
has no vocation, no business pursuits and
no profession to engross his time. AS they
pursue that investigation they will find that
Mr.. Bryan has never devoted himself seri-
ously to any vocation. Such reflection will
lead many men to the conclusion that it is
not wise to vote for a man for President
who follows no regular business or has no
profession to which he devotes his time.
Another thing which Mr.. Bryans friends
in conference in Nebraska are reported to
have discovered is that there is much less
interest of late in the silver question 1t
is true. One might travel all day in Indiana
and not hear a is to 1 harangue. The times
are not propitious to the cause of clipped
dollars. Business is reviving, and as busl-
ness revives and men have employment or
something to SELL they have more impor-
tant matters to consider than the coming
of the silver bullion of mine owners. Be-
sides, when men sell wheat, lumber labor
anything, they want the best money in the
world for it. 1t is a very bad time for Mr.
Bryan to go about repeating his old free
silver heresies in the same words, because
the people will grow weary and in disgust.
will cry out to Mr.. Bryan: do give US a

If it is true, as stated, that the sheriff
of Woodford county, Illinois, has tele-
graphed the Governor Of that State asking
that troops be sent to repel an expected
invasion of strikers, he has done a hasty
and unwise thing. Thus far the strike has
been remarkably free from acts of violence,
and so far as known the strikers have
shown a law-abiding disposition. Of course,
the tension increases from day to day, and
with it the danger Of an outbreak or COLI
sion of some kind, but nothing should be
done to precipitate such an occurrence. The
and should only be resorted to on the most
Unsuitable grounds. No sheriff should ask
that it be done until he has exhausted
every local means of enforcing law and or
der. and he certainly should not ask that it
be done to avert prospective or imaginary
danger. Even if a thousand strikers Were
approaching Roanoke it would be rash to
conclude that they intended violence or
that they could not be managed by the
local authorities. Men have a right to
move from one point of the country to an
other without being confronted by military
force. unless they defv and override the
law. 1t is time enough for sheriff TO
ask for troops when they are necessary.

from Brown University because he warned
his countrymen against the growth of great
monopolies." 1t thinks this foreshadows
the approach of "a conflict that will shake
the Union as 1t was shaken by the great
slavery conflict" and that it will end in
''the substitution of public for private con-
troll and ownership of the big trusts and
monopolies and the substitution of state for
private colleges and universities" All this
sounds very silly, in view of the fact that
the resignation of President Andrews had
no more to do with his views regarding the
growth of monopolies than with his views
regarding the growth of monkeys.

IT will, of course, be a disagreeable sur
prise to Americans returning from Europe
to learn that all new wearing apparel in
excess of 500 in value has to pay duty.
The old law admitted free of duty wear
ing apparel appropriate for the use of
such persons" and under this provision
clothing, dress goods, laces, jewelry kid
gloves and other foreign goods of great
value came in free of duty. The new law
provides as follows:
In case of residents of the United
states returning from abroad, all wearing
apparel and other personal effects taken
BY them out of the United States to foreign
countries shall be admitted free of duty.
without regard to their value, upon their
Identity being established under appropriate
rules and regulations to be prescribed by
the secretary of the treasury, but no more
than 500 in value of articles purchased
abroad by such residents of the United
States shall be admitted free of duty upon
their return.
This is a just provision. 1t will give the
government needed revenue and result in
giving more employment to Americans, but
it will be regarded as a great hardship
by American tourists who expected to save
almost the expenses of a foreign trip in
wearing apparel. AS the duties on this class
of goods are high some of the tourists who
are returning in ignorance of the law will
get caught for pretty large amounts.

The true uniformity agreement adopted
by the conference of coal operators at Pitts
burg will not take effect until it shall have
been signed by 50 per cent. of the operators,
but it's conditional adoption is an interest
ing event. 1t shows a commendable dlspo-
sition on the part of the operators to do
away with some of the most fragrant evils
in the coal mining business and take new
departure in the way of fairer and juster
methods. The agreement, as adopted sec
ton by section, provides for cash payment
of wages two thousand pounds to the ton,
check weighmen on the tipples, miners to be
credited with the full quantity of coal con-
tanned in the mine car, abolition of COM
pany stores, semi-monthly pay days, uni
form price for pick mining in the thin and
thick-vein districts, and screens not eX-
ceeding one and one-half inches Nearly
every one of these provisions involves a
matter of long standing complaint on the
part of the miners and of legislation in
some States. If they become operative it
will work a great and beneficial change in
mining methods. The adoption of the plan
by the requisite number of operators, 50 per
cent, will not, of itself, end the strike, but
it should have a decided influence in that
direction. 1t will be, in effect, an invita-
ton to the miners TO resume work under a
binding agreement among the operators
that will do away with many of the abuses
they have been fighting against for years

cheap that it has not been profitable to
adulterate it, but it may be again ii glu-
