The Currency Question.


makes the level of prices. Stable or ad-
yancing prices have never failed to call
into requisition all the money that
could be found, and it will never fail to
do so. The normal business limit has
never yet been reached, because as soon
as mans necessities are supplied his
eyer-growing and neyer-satisfied de-
mands for luxuries call into activity
the forces OF higher civilization.
The apparently strange paradox of
large boards of idle money in the banks
at the money centers while idle men
and women suffer for wages and bread
is readily understood when we realize
that money cannot be employed in pro-
duction without loss to its employers
under the gold standard, which has cut
off silver as a source of money supply
and has in 25 years doubled the value
of gold.-Silver Knight-Watchman.

THE COAL MINERS.
Men of the Pick in Illinois Now Know
What the Gold Standard
Means.

During period covered by the last
16 years, in the state of Illinois, the
average value of lump coal at the mine
has decreased from S1.51 ton to S5
cents, a shrinkage of nearly one-half.
The effect upon the miner is seen in the
fact that the average price paid in the
state for mining coal has declined from
so cents a ton to a little over so cents.
Taking the record for 16 years, it is
seen that the decline in the value is ~
per cent, and in wages 81 per cent. Ow-
ing to fluctuations, the decline for the
last ten years is, for value, "a per cent,
and for wages 80 per cent. For the
last four years the decline has been,
for value, 1857 per cent, and for wages,
1927 per cent, from which it appears
that the reduction in recent years has
been in a greater ratio for wages than
for value
No writer on political economy ever
described the inevitable result of sim
gle and constantly appreciating finan-
cial standard more forcibly than it is
expressed in the above. As the stand
ard goes up, prices go down, and event
ually the helpless laborer must bear
the whole burden Nobody is bene-
flied by such condition except the
stock gambler, the money lender, and
those who have the cash in hand to buy
whatever they want. 1t is an outlaw
system, supported only by robbers and
fOols-or by employees who have be-
come so poor and slavish that they can
not or dare not assert their manhood
Gold Standard and Taxation.
Under bimetallism and prosperity the
Dingley bill alone would produce reve-
nue. sufficient to pay the expenses of the
government and carry on perpetual
war with nation the size of Spain. But
under the gold standard the Dingley
bill has failed to meet ordinary ex-
penses on peace footing; therefore re-
publicans viii be in no hurry to repeal
the war tax.

Fermentation I'm Crops.

Frequently one or two hens in flock
will droop, and on examination their
crops will be full. water win run from
their beaks when they are held head
down, and an offensive odor will be
noticed. 1t usually happens when sour
food has been left for the hens to con-

lis to give only as much food as the hens
can eat ut a meal. so as to permit of
none remaining over to sour. Place the
sick birds ON straw and withhold all
food for 4S hours, adding gill of lime
water TO every quart of the drinking

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials. Address F. j. Cheney & Co., To-

HARDsHIPs OF ARMY LIFE.
From the Press, Milroy, Ind.

One of the first to offer their services for the

record. The life of every soldier is a hard
one, and Mr.. Sefton's case was no exception

sides. Our rations were very scarce" said
he, ''and we had begun to go on quarter
allowance, and as the rain was not enough
to replenish the wells or streams, our can
teens went empty. We were hurried on,
and the only way to quench our thirst was to
go down on our hands and knees and drink
from the hoof tracks made by the horses.
