BRYAN's book THE First Battle"
is at hand and among its contents
we notice the following as his defni-
ton of bimetallism.
I'm a speech made in Ohio, /
think in 1895, Senator Sherman
used language something like this
{ read it in the press dispatches at
the time and quote from memory):
The parity between gold and silver
can only be maintained by the use
of gold as the standard, with silver
coined in limited quantities as a
limited legal tender. This can prop
erly be called bimetallism.' This
definition of bimetallism has, with
in the last four years, become quite
common among those who favor the
gold standard, but are not willing
to be known as monometallists.
Bimetallism means two-metallism.
Just as certainly as the word biped
means an animal with two feet. 1t
means the use of two metals as
standard money, and to be standard
money they must be treated alike.
If to use gold as a standard, with
silver coined in limited quantities
as limited legal tender, is bimetal-
lism, then England now has BIZ
metallism. If that system can
properly be called bimetallism, then
the use OF copper in limited guam
titles along with such system
would constitute tri-metallism. 1t
seems to me that the absurdity of
Mr.. Sherman's definition must be
apparent to anyone who will give
the subject moments considera-
ton. 1t was the attempt of the OPP
ponents of free coinage to miscon-
strue the terms formerly used that
led to the declaration for a specific
ratio. Then, too, many insisted
upon calling themselves bimetal-
lists who were unwilling to vote for
bimetallism without an information
al agreement. This made it neces.
sary to adopt Some means of dis
tinguishing between independent
bimetallists and international BIZ
metalliSLs."

SpANIARDs are now selling Cuban
girls and women, captured by them,
from the block. They have offered
all kinds of indignities to Amerl-
cans, and this government has tax
en- not a single step to punish them.
Even little Greece would not stand
the treatment that Uncle Sam has
taken from Spain, When the Turk
ish government began to abuse the
Greek residents of Crete, King
George began to blaze away at the
Sultan's army at once. In fact
there is no other nation in the world
that would sit idly by and have her
subjects treated as the American
government has allowed hers to be
treated by the Spanish butchers on
the island of Cuba. 1t is coming
to a pass when true born American
citizens cannot claim it to be much
of an honor to be an American, and
it is also about time for another
revolution in this country. If it
does not come soon a certain class
of men will be selling American
women from the book in America.

LYMAN ]. GAGE has recently adj
mitted that his bank loaned $780,
600 to the Yellow Poplar Lumber
Co. in direct violation of the law,
which provides that not bank shall
loan more than ten per cent OF it's
capital stock to one man or corpo-
ration. To conceal this violation Of
law 100000 of this loan was
charged off" to profit and loss as a
bad debt, although President Gage
himself says, 1.-THE Yellow Poplar
Lumber Co. is a strong concern with
valuable property and large hold
ings of lumber and / am satisfied
the bank will not lose any of it's
loan" 1t will be remembered that
the National Bank of Illinois was
forced into liquidation when perfect
ly sound by the action OF the Chi
cago clearing house, of which Mr..
Cages bank is the most influential
member, and the reason alleged was
that a loan had been made in excess
of the ten per cent limit and con-
cealed by being transferred to the
"foreign exchange" account. Just
why it is any better to charge an
account to profit and loss" than to
''foreign exchange" when both
charges are made to conceal a vio-
lation of the law it is difficult to
understand. But in one case the
manager of the bank was unjustly
driven into bankruptcy and a sui
cide's grave and in the other he is
appointed Secretary of the Treas
ury. 1t makes all the difference
whose OK is gored.

Spring Catarrh.

Again spring is here. The long,
cold winter with its bluster and chill,
has passed, and has left in its train
innumerable vic inns OF chronic ca
tarrh. They have taken a great many
remedies during the wi inter- with per-
haps temporary relief, but fresh
cold has brought on the old symp-
toms. and, heartsick and weary of
trying, they have concluded that
there can be no relief for them. This
is great mistake and now is the
time to rectify it.
The spring time is the most favor
able time of the year to treat catarrh.
There is so much less liability to take
fresh cold that the treatment is unim-
peded. All old cases of chronic ca
tarrh should begin Immediately a
course of Pe-ru-na as directed in DIR.
Hartman's books on this disease.
There are SO many different phases
and stages of catarrh that one hardly
knows when he has it. A great many
people think they are suffering from
something else and have tried many
medicines in vain, when if they could
realize that it was catarrh and take
Pe-ru-na for it they would improve
promptly and soon recover entirely.
| All who desire to learn more of ca.
tarrh should send for free copy OF
DR.. Hartman's latest book which will
be sent free by The Pc. ru-na Drug

II the above statement is true, the

ever witnessed instead of in the
throes of financial distress. The state
ment of the Republican covers all
the money supposed to be in the
United States. To ascertain what of
this sum may perhaps be in circula-
ton, let us glance a moment at the
sums not in circulation:

Instead of coming toward me, how
ever, the creature took q circling
course around to my right and ! knew
if it continued it would cross the ope-
ming had made through the tbicket
when went to the creek for cup
of water. Changing my position at
the tree and lying on my face, level
ed my gun towards the opening. The
camp fire had somewhat died away
but it shone fully on the sight of my
gun and was nearly between me and
the place had made the point of my
observation. I waited with bat ed
breath, but had become sufficiently
composed to maintain steady nerve.
But had not long TO wait. The spell
was broken with an awful yell, half
scream, half cry; half human, half
brute. The next instant saw through
the sights of my gun two small bulls
of fire. I said to myself they are eyes
rejecting the flame of my camp, but
they cannot be human, and with per-
feet aim touched the trigger. There
was q loud report. The powder
smoke blew back in my face and for
moment there was struggle in the
bushes. Then all was still as death.
l hastily reloaded my gun and with
out changing my position awaited
further developments. An hour pas

hills across the bottom lands.
I cautiously crept back to the fire
aud replenished it from the pile of
wood l had gathered in the evening
and laid down again to sleep. But
sleep came not. When day dawned
the sky was clear aud the morning
sun shone brightly on the tree tops.
But my eyes were heavy, my tongue
was dry and feverish and my limbs
were tired. Taking my gun in hand
I parted away through the tall weeds
and underbrush to where heard the
last kick of the creature that the
night before sought TO invade my
camp and there lay the lifeless body
of q huge panther. The upper part
of his head was nearly carried away
by the ounce ball from my faithful
gun. Had I acted on the impulse of
the moment and gone to the rescue
when its cry resembled q weepin g
babe or the wall of woman in dis
tress would have been devoured by
the blood-thirsty brute.
That trying night was great les
son to me. 1t taught me to be eau
tious of false noises. Last fall there
came cry of distress from the infant
of Canton. Thousands rushed to its
rescue, but it proved to be a panther
from the Jungle of Wall street, and
now they are being lacerated and
torn by the claws and teeth of that
ferocious brute. Beware of sympa-

buscade in the darkness of the night.

women who are threatened with nerve
prostration and go to Europe as rest
cure, says: "They break down, many
of them, not from too much brain work,
but from brain work in too many direc-
tions. The French woman is satisfied
to be either good mother, a savant or
a leader of society. But the American
tries to be all of these at once"
