As tO Parity.

But the senator from New Hampshire
and certain international bimetaIlic sena-
tors believe that the parity exists between
the commercial value of the materials as
articles of commerce as distinct from
their character as dollars. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible to create parity between
gold and silver as mere articles of COM
merce You can no more create parity
between the two by statute or by usage
than you can create parity between a
bushel of potatoes and bushei of pears: :
for today the one is worth so much and
the other 50 much. and the next day the
fluctuations in the market change the
price, and one goes up and the other goes
down If it is the commercial parity of
the two metals 10 which reference is
made, there is no statute which can con-
troll or tx it, unless that statute can
control and fix the market from day to
day.
But, Mr.. President. whenever you coin
a silver dollar on terms of equality with
the gold dollar at fixed ratio, as for
instance, at the ratio of 10 to !. and con-
fer on that silver dollar all the money
functions that can be exercised by the
gold dollar, then the parity exists be-
tween the two dollars as dollars and the
parity exists between the metals in the
two dollars. Parity can be established in
no other way"

CAN WE BE CURED
OF Catarrh, Bronchitis. Asthma

A Test by Which the True Value Of
All Cures Can be Determined.

How many thousands there are today
who would gladly pay almost any reason
able sum TO be cured of either one or the
above diseases. but, knowing of so many
ulnerent remedies and treatments, are
unable to decide which one to try. 1t does
seem difficult task, yet becomes COM
paratively easy one IL the person affiict-
ed will but use little good judgment and
common sense. In the first place. every
man and woman knows, or should know,
that the air passages were made for air
alone. and that nature has so construct
ed these passages that moisture of any
kind cannot enter the bronchial tubes or
lungs. This at once precludes all posi-
bility of n cure of deep-seated diseases
being effected by treatment requiring the
use OF sprays. douches. atomiZers or va
pors- Secondly, all regular physicians ad-
init that these diseases are purely local
and must be treated locally, consequent
ly stomach medicines become useless in
treating diseases of the air passages The
diseased parts must be reached through
the air we breathe or not at all. Not
only this. but q germicide must be used
which will leave the air dry, and yet
have the power to destroy the baciili of
disease in the minutest air cells OF the
lungs This decision reached. then comes
the question. Is there such germicide
which can be inhaled through the air
you breathe? Thirty eight hundred ply
sicians and over three hundred thousand
persons who have tested it, say YES.

ern forts armed with modern ordnance.
Even if the Spaniards did, at some unde-
Tended point, succeed in effecting land
ing, any force which they could land from
fleet would be speedily overwhelmed.
Then there is the United States fleet,
which could both help in the defense of
the coast and operate against the Spanish
possessions in the West Indies.
IL the Spanish feet came to the coast
the American feet would meet it off the
point it aimed at and in all probability
annihilate it. If the Spanish feet con-
centrated in the West Indies, the North
Atlantic squadron would meet it there
and try the arbitrament of battle in those
waters. If the Spanish fleet split up, part
coming on the coast and part going to the
West Indies. the American navy would
be able to leave enough vessels to assist
the forts and the land forces in the pro-
lection of the seaboard and could concen-
trate an overwhelming force against the
part of the Spanish navy left in the West
Indian waters.
Here is list of our available vessels in
the Atlantic: The battleships Indiana,
Iowa and Massachusetts; armored cruis-
ers New York and Brooklyn: second-class
battleship Texas; the cruisers Detroit,

dies, just what il will be necessary to do
in case certain cables are cut and to just
what points dispatch boats must be sent.
They know, too, about coal supplies, dry
docks, Notifications, guns, depth of water,
etc, throughout Spanish America.
In fact, the Navy Department and the
War Department have together prepared
a complete military campaign. Every de-
tail is arranged. 1t is known just what
the fleets are to do, just what the army
is to do, in case of war No precious days
will be wasted in preparing the plan of
campaign, in deciding what is to be done.
All that has been attended to. The plan
is complete and perfect. Every ship, ev-
cry regiment, every transport, vessel, ev-
cry man will be sent to its or his proper
place the instant the word Of command is
given by Congress.
If there should be war the militia of
the various States would play an impor-
tant part in IT, Months ago the War De-
partment sent out secret agents to make
reports upon the State militia-the num-
Der of men that could be put in the field,
their drill, discipline, equipments, bat
teries, field outfit, etc. Having amassed
all possible information, the authorities
here know what they can depend upon.
They know, for instance, that within "a
hours, in addition to a part of the regular
or Federal army, 10000 militiamen can
be on the railway trains en- route for the
seaboard. They know that within AZ
hours 10000 men can be on the cars. They
know that within ten days, counting reg
ular troops and militia, $4,000 men can be
moblized Mt the seaports. In all 100000
trained and equipped soldiers are availa-
BILE for the offensive or defensive opera
tions of the Government.
Without any excitement or haste, or any
pressure from the President or members
Of the cabinet, the various bureaus of the
two military departments OF the Govern
ment have for n long time been making
preparations for active operations. Ii is
a matter of professional pride with the
chiefs OF these bureaus to get all the bus
mess under their charge as near as possi-
BILE to a state Of perfection. The result
is, that without wanting war, seeking IL
or expecting IL, Uncle Sam Is to-day pre-
pared to amaze the world with the rapid
ity and effectiveness of the blows which
he will strike IL Il become necessary for
him to move. His officials believe that
IL we became involved in trouble with
Spain the war will be over In sixty days.
They also believe that n state of pre-
paredness Is the best guarantee Of peace.

coal from England. She could not supply
il to her transat atlantic feet. In case Of
war with the United States the coal to
maintain her feet on this side of the water
would have to come from England. Now
coal is contraband of war, and British
ship carrying coal to the Spanish fleet
would be liable TO capture. That some
coal would get to the fleet from England
is undoubted. for there never was block
ade yet in the world which was absolute
ly effective. But it is also a fact that
enough could not escape the vigilance of
American cruisers to keep the Spanish
feet supplied. and what did get through
would cost the Spanish Government enor-
mously.
If war should come between Spain and
the United States, this Government would
be able to move in the field of naval and
military operations with a celerity, COM
pleteness OF organization. an effectiveness
which would astonish the world. The
navy of the United States is now practi-
cally on war footing. Not only have
our fighting ships been equipped with am
munition and fully manned, but every
possible preparation in the way of coaling
and opening of lines of communication has
been made. Our naval authorities know
now, and have known for months, just
how cable communication may be estab-
lished to various parts of the West In
