GOLD STANDARD THE CAUSE
Senator Chandler on the Recent Reduction
of Wages in Factories.


The Concord, New Hampshire,
Evening Monitor, Senator Chandler's q
newspaper contains the following as
a leader, under this caption:
THE Reduction of Wages is
Caused by the Gold Standard. Work
for Silver Money, says Senator
Chandler"
"a good New Years resolution
for republicans is to demand and
during 1898 struggle for bimetallism.
Every man who works for wages
should fight against the single gold
standard of money, which is the
most potent cause of the recent re-
duction in wages in all the factories
of New England. The demonetiza-
ton of silver and the consequent
appreciation of gold which measures
values, have contributed to reduce
the price of commodities that goods
which once have brought the pro-
ducer 500 now bring him only $50.
This is q world wide condition
where gold prices prevail; and be-
cause the manufacturers cannot get
the old prices for goods they say
they cannot pay the old prices for
labor But if it had not been for the
demonetization of silver, the wageR
of labor everywhere in recent years
would have risen, because each
labcrer has been able, year by year,
to create a larger product, and he
has, therefore. been entitled to larger
wages as his share of that product.
This legitimate rise in wages the
adoption of the gold standard has
prevented, and instead of a rise
comes fall.
Here is the whole case IL. nut
shell, and it is impreenable. The
unanimous position OF organized
labor in America and Europe is.
therefore, against the single gold
standard and in favor of the restora-
ton of silver to it's old position of
standard money.
american labor now has a pro.
tective tariff. Let all republicans
fight to keep the greenbacks in cir
culatiop, and to get rid of slavery to
the gold men, who are trying to
drive out ct use the silver money of
the wage earners of the world"

DeArmOnd OF Missouri.

You ask what, in my judgment,
should be the course of the United
States concerning Cuban affairs. In
trying to answer L must consult the
Judgment, the sentiments, the pride,
the patriotism, the love of liberty,
the Christian spirit OF the American
people. For l am SO old fashioned
as to believe that there is but a
single source of power in this coun-
try-the sovereign people. What,
then, do the people think! How do
they feel! What do they ask! /
think they believe that free gov
ernment, a government by the peo-
pie, is just and wholesome, and that
the blight of tyranny is wrong and
deadly. They have a sympathy,
warm, deep, abiding, for those who
fight and suffer for liberty. They
recognize in the Spanish war of
conquest and destruction in Cuba
the cruel power of the tyrant, and in
the heroic efforts of the Cubans to
win their freedom the grand display
of lofty spirit and holy purpose
akin to their own.
"They ask, I think, that those who
administer their government shall be
Americans In other words, / think
tLey see in autonomy the tyrant's
trap for patriots, the sucking bottle
of the pulling little things who toddle
and whimper in places where men
should be.
"Our government, then should
change to a manly course. 1t should
cease its Efforts at helping Spain to
force autonomy upon the Cubans-
yelled slavery as substitute for
independence.
esThe government should see and
recognizs what all the world knows
that there is war in Cuba. The
Senate belIigerency resolution should
be passed by the House. and ap
proved and acted on by the Presi
dent That slight measure of justice
to the Cubans probably would insure
their independence. What more
should be done events will deter
mine. I speak of the least that We
can do without national disgrace.
"As for me, l would be glad to
record my vote now for the recogDi-
tion of the independence OF Cuba.
The humiliating subserviency of the
administration in reference to Cuban
affairs is but in keeping with its
general course-the hand of trust
and monopolist is over it ALL"

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DIR. kilmer's 5
Swamp Root, the great kidney REM
edy, fuIfills every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t cor-ects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing ii,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing eases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail
