Senator WOEcott's Position.

Senator Wolcott of Colorado, the
chairman Of the late commission
which visited France and England
IN the hopes Of having these countries
join in with this in an effort to estab-
lish bimetallism, made a speech in
congress Monday in which he, in
part, said;
He was glad to make o statement
respecting certain phases OF the re-
cent bimetallic commission, but in
doing so he spoke unoficially, mot
committing his associates IN the
slightest degree either to his opinions
or deductions. Our views were known
to the president before our appoint
ment. There was no one Of us who
did not and who does not now believe
that the financial question overshad-
ows all others and that continued
adhesion to the single gold standard
means disaster to our agricultural
aud commercial interests"
The commission had, in It's elk
months stay abroad visited only
London and Paris and he added that
whatever measure Of success or fail
urs had been melted out to the COM
mission, ''it had been hsmpered by
no lack Of authority OK sanction or
administrative support"
I'VE have had q law broad and full
enough in its powers; we have been
free to act under its provisions; our
views have been identical and earn
estly favoring an international agrees
ment; and we have had the hearty
support OF our ambassador at the
Court Of ST. james"
The newspapers Of London, like
the newspapers Of many Of the cap
itals of the world" he went on, "are
dominated by and allied with the
banking element and reflect their
views and often their expressions.
"The business Of money loaning ls
an engrossing pursnlt, not always
lending to the cultivation of the
amenities Of life, and it Is not 10 be
wondered at that the London news
papers, voicing that industry, should,
in their hostility to policy of which
they disspproved, forget for the mo-
ment that courtesy that is due to the
stranger within the gates, especially
when he comes upon invitation, and
that they should be led to character
ize proposals as Impairment which
we're made only upon the request oil
their own government.
1T was perfectly realized from the
beginning, that bimetallism for Eng
land was out of the question. India
was the vital point for all negotia
tlons with England, and all other
proposals were insignificant in com
parison with that respecting the re-
opening the mints of India to the un
limited coinage of silver, and the
repeal of the order permitting gold tt
be paid for government dues and tt
be s4chapged for governmet rupees

NOT FOR EVERYTHING

But IL you have kidney, liver Or bladder
trouble you will find Swamp-Root just
the remedy you need. People are not apt
to get anxious about their health soon en-
ouoh. If you are "not quite well" or "half
sick" have you ever thought that your
kidneys may be the cause of your sick
ness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside your
urine for twenty-four hours; Il sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi-
ton of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy DR.. Kllmer's Swamp
Root fulfills every wish in relieving weak
or diseased kidneys and all forms of blad.
der and urinary troubles. Not only does
Swamp Root give new life and activity to
the kidneys-the cause Of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as tonic for
the entire constitution. If you need
