Scarcely a day passes that we do

people forsake happy homes without
any earthly reason for doing 90 and
their fate often becomes mystery"
"rhc cause of these disappear
anccs has excited widespread discus
Sion OF late, aud some Of our best
noyelists have founded thrilling ro-
mances ON this strange subject. But
no one has yet been able to find an
answer To the question, What be-
comes of these missing peopleT
Perhaps the best explanation OF
the mystery may be found in the
Words of a New YORK. pby stefan who

thery these people are sufferers from
various disastrous maladies from
which they gain no relief. Their
surroundings eventually become un-
bearable to them. In their diseased
imaglnations they fancy everybody is
an enemy although surrounded by
friends Driven 10 despi they AT

wanderers on the face Of the earth o:

Amy person who is not in perfect
health is liable To meet with this ter
nble fate. Even those who fancy
themselves strong, well and mentally
sound may become unhappy, morose
and dcsparing. The seriousness of
these facts should cause every man
aud woman to stop. consider aud see
il he or she Is really well. There are
so many dreadful diseases that come
upon the system aware, that show
no symptoms but ruin the life even
before We know 1t. The worst Of all
t.oublcs Of this Kind arise from uric
acid poison, which being in the blood,
not only causes rheumatism, neural
gia aud govt, but often affects the
mind or the vial organs. Now, the
cause Of uric acid in the system or Ia
the blood is because the kidneys arc
either too weak or too diseased to
throw it from the system. When
the uric acid is not discharged IT re-
mains in the blood, pOIsons the body
and often the mind aud causes dis.
ease aud too frequently death.
lis 1t not plain and simple then,
that in order 10 avoid moroseness,

necessary to get rid Of this uric acii
This can only be done by helping the

BlYAN'S STOCK ARGUMENTS

Mr.. Bryan's renewal # his SILVER
argument during his biif tour il
Ohio has revived interest in lis theo
ries and assertions Of last YEAR
campaign, There is especial curl
osity in seeing how they have stood

Somebody has taken occasion, il

to look up some Of his assertions o

the light Of present conditions, Here
are a few OF the extracts from hi.
speeches of 1896, and the comment
upon themi
This conspiracy which we have
to meet is conspiracy which has fol
its ultimate object the striking down
Of silver as one of the stand rl
moneys Of the world. "-Syracusc
speech, 1896.
Mr.. Bryan assumes that this" con-
spiracy" has been In active operation
ince 1873. Yet, according to The
diretto of the United States Mint,
there is more than double the amount
Of silver money in use in the world
today than there was in 1873, and
practically all OF it is a full legal ten.
der. Director Preston estimates the
amount Of silver money in the world
ia 1873 at sl,817, 100000, while to-
day it is $4,000, 100000. II this il
the result of a "confpiracy" q

well to let the conspiracy" go o.?
ave complain of the gold stand
ard, because an increased demand for
gold has raised the price Of gold and
lowered the price Of all those things
which exchange for money. but
falo speech, 1896.
How can there be an increased de.
mand for gold when gold, silver and
paper money as well as bank cx-
changes have increased much more
rapidly than the population IN the
past few years? The increased ease
of producing both gold and silver has
enormously increased the quantity Of
them offered to the public. Accord
ing to Mulhall and Preston, there is
nearly six times as much gold and
twice as much silver in the world to-
day as there was fifty years ago.
Does this look as though there was
"an increase demand for gold which
has raised the price of goldI'
"Our opponents cannot ignore the
fact that gold is now going abroad in
spite of all legislation intended to
prevent it, aud that no silver is coined
to take its place. Madison Square
speech, 1896.
In the fiscal year 1897 the imports
Of gold were s44, G53, 200 IN excess
Of the imports of that metal, and the

,1H MnLCOrT.s MISSION.

Senator Wolcott has gone abroad on a

q conference of the nations of the earth
I'm the interest of international bime'ai-
ism. We fear 1t is wild-soose
chase but that is his an"r'
AIR Wolcott stood by his party
during the late campaign. and accepted IN
good faith the pledge OF his party 10 use
the good offices Of this Government IN the
interest Of an international agreement ior
the free coinage of silver. We cannot Dut
commend him for exerting HIMSELF 10
carry ont the spirit Of that promise, ana
II he fails he will simply have discharged
his duty as he understands u. But as we
have previously said, We have no taith
whatever in any practical results TO fol-
low this movement. In the first place
the conference must be secured, ana IL is
doubtful. in our opinion, II the nations
of the earth will agree TO such con-
ference There have been five conferences
of this character in the past. and they
were all fruitless Of results. Silver bullion
these conferences was held. and If IT was
impossible to reach an agreement for the
free coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio Of sixteen 10 one when silver was
higher in price. We can see no argument
that might be offered in favor OF such
a conference now when the quantity OF
bullion in the silver dollar is now worth
less than 50 cents
In saying this we DO not mean 10 be
understood as opposing any measure
which the nations Of the earth may agree
upon in the interest Of silver. II any
measure can be adopted which will ac-
tually enhance the price Of silver bullion
so as to make the bullion in the silver
dollar worth 100 cents. We would not only
not oppose such a measure but would be
heartily I'm favor of it. 1t is absurd 10
say that the advocates of the gold stand
ard assume a position Of antagonism
per Sc to the white metal. They do not
want scarcity OF money, and the Times
has proven that such is not its desire by
advocating with all its might a system
lating medium. or. at any rate. that will
give it more uniform circulation But
we are opposed. ana all advocates Of the
gold standard are OPPOSED. TO the free
coinage OF silver. or to any other measure
which win depreciate the value of The
dollar and make it worth less than its
face value. We do not see how II is pos
sible by international law. or by any other
law save The law of supply and demand.
to make 50 cents worth Of silver equal in
value 10 100 cents. Therefore, we have no
confidence i'm what is known as inter
