william Jennings Bryan.

This gentleman is q native of
Nebraska. snd is no greater than
the soil he was raised in. He
believes in the free silver trust,
and uses gold when he has it. His
logical powers are well distribut-
ed. beginning where his brain
leaves off and located in his lungs.
Mr.. Bryan has recently been to
Mexico, and returns with glow
ing ideas about that country.
Money is SO plentiful there that
about twice as much is used as
in the United States to buy the
same thing. Mr.. Bryan began
his electioneering for the next
presidential campaign early last
November, and, as he is young.
he has many years of life before
him to devote to the same pur-
nose. In the meantime wheat is
up. silver is down, farmers are
having their debts, monopolies
flourish, and the American eagle
is throwing bouquets at himself
and drawing a yearly pension
that would steep the standing
armies OF Europe in untold luxu-
ry.-LJe.

There exists in tie United
States today the same defective
contribution of women as existed
in the colonies 27s years ago.
Indeed, it is an economical as
well as a social defect that the
distribution Of women in, the
country is so imperfect that,
while Massachusetts has $4,000
more women than men, and while
in every city and hamlet from
the Atlantic to the Mississippi
spinsters bloom and fade unpluck-
ed by the reverent hand of eager
youth. we frequently hear Of o

and risk, provided she does not

The fact that reasonable eligi-
BILE bachelors in the interior of
the country should find it neces-
sary to send to an Eastern port
for wives points out a deplorable
fault in the contemporary social
state. To correct this fault in
distribution, so painful to con.

10 Old Virginia DAYS 100 Pounds Of To-
baccu Was the Ruling Price.

From the earliest settlement
of the colonies there has always
been defect in the distribution
of women in this country. Its
q historical fact that while one
section has always suffered from
an embarrassment Of riches, an.
other has pinned in needless pri-
walton. At the outset of Ameri,
can civilization the wilderness
was hungry for men to till it, and
thousands of idle laborers of
London and Bristol poured into
the new Ell Dorado.
Robert Beverly, in his His
tory of Virginia" published in
1905 and 1922, says: Those
that went over to that country
first were chiefly single men. who
had not the incumbrance of wives
and children in England; and, if
they had, they did not expose
them to the fatigue and hazard
OF so long a voyage, until they
saw how it should fare with
themselves. Hence it came to
pass that when they we're settled
there in a comfortable way of
supporting family, they grew
sensible of the misfortune Of
wanting wives. and such as had
left wives IN England sent for
them, but the single men were
put to their shifts.
"Under this difficulty they had
no hopes but that the plenty
in which they lived might invite
modest women of small fortunes
to 60 over thither from Eng
land. However. they would not
receive any but such as could

them to buy a deserving wife
that carried good testimonials of
her character, at the price OF

lieve they had a bargain.
I'm one year Sir Edwin pro-
vided a passage for 1851 new
emigrants. Among those we're
ninety agreeable young women,
poor, but respectable, to furnish
wives to the colonists. This new
commodity was transported at
the expense of the colony, and
sold to the young planters. and
the following year another con-
signment was made of sixty
young maids, of virtuous educa-
ton, young. handsome and well
recommended. A wife in the
first lot generally sold for 100
pounds of tobacco. but as the
value of the new article became
known in the market the price
rose, and a wife would bring l5C
pounds of tobacco. A debt for 9

Dr. Hayes, of Buffalo, n. ", who is rapid
ly becoming known all over the civilized
world from his ability TO cure Asthma so
that the sufferer stays cured. SAYS that his
success where others fail is due largely to the
fact that he declines to use symptom-dEugs,
leave the cause OF the disease untouched, but
employs natural alternatives and tonics,
which build up the digestive powers, i'm
prove the assimilation of the food, give the
patient better blood and more of 1t. out of
which to build up a healthy body: and thus
by changing the very type of nutrition and
changing the constitution, he removes the
