Why Banks Fail.

The rapidly increasing number of
bank failures all over the country
raises the question which is heard on
every side, Why do banks fail? 1t is
answered by the gold standard press
that there is lack of confidence and
that the banks have made .unwise
loans on improper security. These
These answers suggest the questions.
What causes lack of confidence? and
what would be proper security?
There is lack of confidence because
there is not sufficient money to do
the business of the country on. 1t is
a scarce article, and like all other
scarce articles the possessors of it
hoard it and refuse to part with it for
tear that they may not be able to
recover it if they once lose possession
of if. And also in the belief that its
value will increase by the growing
scarcity. What would be. the proper
security under the present condi-
lions in this country? When values
are continually falling and great bus.
mess houses are closing their doors,
no collateral other than government
bonds would be considered proper
security, and if the present depress-
ing conditions continue, how long
would government bonds continue to
be proper security? The fact is that
practically all property has lost its
debt paying power The ordinary
assets of the people have become liza
bilities upon their bonds. The man
who owes debt is powerless to dis
charge it, no matter how much
property he may have. The people
cannot do business because mems
activities cannot be employed. Wo-
men and children go cold and hungry
because the husband and father can
not convert his labor into the neces-
saries of life, and the reason he can
not sell his labor is because the en-
ployer cannot buy it; and the reason
the employer cannot buy is because
he cannot sell his product, and so the
great reason why the splendid activi.
ties of the American people are at a
standstill is because we have yoked
ourselves to system of finance that
makes money so dear that it cannot
be purchased by the Drawn and sinew
of this people and by the wonderful
natural resources God has given US.
Because banks fail now is no proof
that they have been dishonesty man.
aged or loans made on improper Sc
curity when made. 1t is because Of
the terrible contraction that has
squeezed the value out of all forms o.

possible for the debtor to pay
Banks, like almost every other insti
tuition, depend for success upon the
producer, and if you ruin the pro
ducer, how can you expect those de

The trusts are aiding the business
boom by advancing prices.
1t looks likeNthe daily papers were
trying to manufacture confidence.
Confidence may do for meal or
two but as an article of steady diet,
please excuse us.
Que remedy which the republicans
suggest for the cure of hard times is
to raise the taxes-tariff.
The flag and the pulpit are being
prostituted to the end of sustaining
the plutocrats in their position.

This country was more prosperous

1t seems that the campaign of edu-
cation will be continued, but the OBJ
ject lessons will be the most impress
sive part of it.
1t requires no keen political fore
sight to perceive that the destruction
of the greenback is the objective
point of the bankers crusade.
A reduction of official salaries should
be demanded of every state legisla-
ture. There is no reason why salaries
should bear such an unjust relation
to the price of all the products of la
Dor.
The depositors who are settling
with broken banks at from ten to
seventy-five cents on the dollar are
happy to think that the dollars they
get are not "fifty-cent dollars" Ev-
cry dollars as good as a national
bank note.
A note to be collectable in court
should have the seal of an assessor to
prove that it has been listed for tax

bring great relief to the overburden-
ed home builders of the country.

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT
TROUBLES EASILY CURED BY A NEW
AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made by
The Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four
suffers from some form of rectal dis
ease. The most common and annoy
ing is itching piles, indicated by
warmth, slight moisture, and intense,
uncomfortable itching in the parts
affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but
nothing like permanent cure can
be expected from such superficial
treatment.
The only permanent cure for itch
ing piles yet discovered is the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, not only for itching
piles, but for every other form OF
piles, blind, bleeding or protruding.
the first application gives instant re-
lief and the continued use for short
time causes permanent removal of
the tumors or the small parasites
which cause the intense itching and
discomfort OF itching piles.
Many physicians for long time
supposed that the remarkable relief
afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure
was because it was supposed to con-
tain cocaine, OPIUM or similar drugs,
but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy
showed it to be absolutely free from
any cocaine, opium, or in fact any
poisonous, injurious drugs whatever.
For this reason their Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure
extensively recommended by physi
clans. because it is so safe, so prompt
in the relief afforded and SO far al
known the only positive cure TO,
piles except a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, tn.
safest and the most extensively SOLD
of any pile cure before tile public.
