Some people use their energies in a

precious vitality. This is fOOliShness.
People do not want irritation or
stimulation. When anyone is tired

any ones energies begin to flag recr-

Old Sarsaparilla.

That's Ayers. The same old
sarsapsrilla as it was made and
sold by DR.. J. c. Aver 80 yecys
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli-
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa-
rilla is the same old sarsaparilia
that made the record-5O gears
of cures. Why don'twe better
it? Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: Doubtless, " he
said, "God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did" Why
don't We better The sarsaparilla?
We can't. We are using the
same ola plans that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. II
has not been bcttered. And
since zee make sarsaparilla CON-
pound ont Of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way Of improvement.
OF course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. But we're not.
We're making the same old sar-
saparilla to cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
same old sarsdparilla be-
cause it works the same old
cures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and-it's ayers.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph says:

The Kalamazoo Telegraph says:
"The Detroit Tribune is again dem
onstrating its utter betrayal of every
thing republican" Not so; the
Tribune is full fledged, if not able
bodied, populo-democratic sheet,
without trace of republicanism in
its makeup. Being such, it could,
if it chose, betray the free silver dem
ocracy or the long whiskered popu.
lists; but, from the very nature of the
case, it cannot betray republicanism.
Might as well talk of Gen. Lee hav-
ing betrayed Gen. Grant during the
late war as to speak of a democrat
papers betrayal of republicanism.
The Tribune did undertake, while it
was recognized as republican sheet,
to betray the republican party into
the hands OF its enemies, but it only
succeeded in landing itself in the
camp of the Bryanites.

Is This Result Desirable?

Should this country alone attempt
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to /, it would thereby give notice that
we are ready to exchange for all comers
a quantity of gold which is valued at 81
in every civilized country for quaint
ty of silver which represents in the
markets of the world about 80 cents.
In very short time all gold would
disappear. Itwould be boarded to await
a premium or shipped to countries
where it is more appreciated. Only sill
yer would remain our circulating medi-
um. We would be on a silver basis. Our
standard would be dollar worth little
more than 90 cents in every country but
our own.
All values would quickly adjust them
selves to this deprecated dollar and
would fluctuate with its changing value
in international exchange.

Cooperative Banking For Farmers.

The American Agriculturist of April
4 again discusses editorially the "entire
feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers. "This can be done, I"
it says, "by slight notifications Of the
system of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved so remarkably
successful in American cities. These in
stitutions now hold over $500, 600, 900
of deposits and are thoroughly demon
strated practical success. The Saxon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary of state, Washington is a
modification Of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia and Germany has
achieved the same success among the
working farmers Of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
our American cities. The peoples banks
of Italy and neighboring countries, based
upon much the same plan, have had
marvellous success. A report giving fur
ther particulars upon the Saxon Land
Credit association has been published
by the department of state for free dis
tribution, in which Consular Agent Pc
teIs says with truth that can never be
questioned:
What American farmers require TO relieve
them Of the present financial strain under
which they are living is the power TO borrow
at the lowest possible interest consistent with
their securities and the financial conditions in
the great centers of the world. So long as they
must borrow from the local money lender they
must pay a high rate Of interest for accommo-
dation. 1t is this high rate of interest under
which our farmers are now striving and fall
ing that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction Remove the high rate of
interest, give them the same opportunity 70
use their credit as men engaged in other busi-
ness, exchange the present mortgage on the
farm for one with a reasonable interest, which
the farmer can pay and have something left
for the savings bank and we will restore hap
piness and prosperity.
This question has been solved by the farmers
and landholders of Europe, and the solution
of the problem did not consist in the issue by
the government Of mass of debased currency
circulated among the people at fictitious
value. The end was reached by the farmers
and landholders by their own force and CO.
operation, by the founding of associations
which in time became a power in the land, and
whose financial strength was measured by mil
lions of undoubted securities which the public
was only too glad TO invest in.

"THE new tariff cuts very severely
into protection granted to the sugar
refners under the Wilson bill."-
From Sugar Trade Journal, (of-
fetal organ Of the American sugar
interests).
The above extract shows what a
"hole" the democrats have put them
selves into, by their frantic endeavors
to make the country believe the pro-
visions of the Dingley law are ad-

Discouraging Events.

From Bradstreet's July a., 1897:
Events Of late have been full of
discouragment for the advocates of
free coinage at the ratio of 16 to l..
Conditions seem, indeed, TO have
entered into a conspiracy similar to
that which made possible "the great
crime of 1873" The argument of
the silverites, based on the assump-
tion of scarcity of gold, did yeoman
service in the last campaign; but the
discoveries in the Klondike fields,
promising a considerable addition to
the worlds stock of its standard
monetary metal, seem likely to rele-
gate that argument TO the class of
spent ammunition. Much was made
also by the silverites of the relation
between silver and wheat prices, but
unfortunately for them, while the
price of wheat has gone up over
twenty cents bushel since last year,
the price of silver has gone down
about ten cents an ounce, and in a
week, in which we are able to re-
cord evidence of a distinct revival OF
business, as indicated in the early
arrival of the long-promised advanc-
ing movement for the fall, silver has
touched the lowest point recorded in
the American market.
