To the Elltor OF tho Milwaukee Journal:
Dear Slr-I am Just In receipt Of your

may their reanlllaton with the party be
best facllltated?"
In reply l would say that have no
authority to speak for the Democratic
party and In what say express only
my own opinion. / am satisfied that
you are correct in saying that many Of
the Democrats who voted for Mckinley
are disappointed with the Republican
administration and will vote the Dem
ocratic ticket In the future. l think
that the same statement could be made
in regard to many Of those who voted
the Palmer and Buckner ticket.
The doors OF the party are always
open to rccel:e new additions, whether
they be new converts or former menu

Women Should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature Of their disease is
not correctly understood. They have been
led to believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womanknd,
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing down sensation, profuse or
scanty supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it with scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician to
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but reflection
Of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root IS the great dls-
coyery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.

evolurIoN OF MEXICAN MONEY!.
In Early Days Things Were Traded
For $50 Many Bcans."


Before Mexico was invaded by the Span
iards coins were unknown in this coun-
try, che natives using in the place Of
money the smallest cncno beans, rescrv-
ing those Of larger size and better quality
for the manufacture Of liquor, TO which
they were much addicted
About IL years after the conquest
that is to say, about the year l535-Cas-
lillian coin commenced tO make its ap-
pearance in Mexico. As IL arrived,
however only in very small quantities,
1t proved itself insufficient for the needs
of trade, even though the latter was still
of very Insignificant proportions 1t was
then that the ruling viccroy, under
authority Of royal decree, ordered the
manufacture in the City of Mexico Of
small pieces of silver of certain weight
These pieces were not stamped with any
coinage whatsoever, and their value was
determined entirely by their weight and
size. From this was derived the name
peso, " which has outlived the first at
tempt at making money in Mexico up to
the present. These pieces of silver re-
manned in circulation a number of years,
and pieces of gold and of copper were also
added in time. Soon, however, it was
found that this sort of circulating me
dium made fraud and abuse extremely
easy, and the Spanish government, TAX
ing cogniZance of this fact, established by
royal decree three mints, granting them a
perpetual existence for America. These
mints were located in San Luis, Santa Fe
and the City of Mexico. The same decree
also provided that in San Domingo, on
the Spanish island known today as Porto
Rico, only copper money should be made,
according to the regulations governing
the mint of CASTLE in the year 1889. The
coinage Of Mexico was actually begun
during the reign of Viceroy Antonio de
Mendoza, who established mint in a
building belonging TO the Marquis del
Vale. Here it remained only a short
time, being transferred first to the council
building and later to the yiceregal palace.
During all this time the coinage was OF
considerable amount, and the facilities OF
the establishment were not sufficient tC
meet the demands made upon it for coins,
for which reason frequent demands for
minting apparatus are found in the an
cient records. In the year 1878 the mint
was established in the Apartado building
and has continued since then in the street
of that name. From the declaration Of
independence until the year 1S47 the mini
was rented out to private parties, who
supplied with coin all the states of the re
| public that had no mints of their own
