"A word to the wise is sufficient"
and a word from the wise should be
sufficient, but you ask who are the
wise? Those who know The oft-re-
peated experience Of trustworthy per-
sons may -e taken for knowledge. Mr..
W. NJ. Terry says Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy gives better satisfaction than
any other in the market. He has been
in the drug business at Elkton, KY,
for twelve years; has sold hundreds of
bottles of this remedy and nearly all
other cough medicines manufactured,
which shows conclusvely that Cham
berlains is the most satisfactory to the
people, and is the best. For sale by

it n business TO look after his own

il no charge for doctor or hospi-

diary coin. Here is our reason
for thinking that silver will go up:
There is altogether in the world
four Thousand millions of gold.
The output of gold is going to in-
crease instead of decrease. If it
increases, the chances are before
the lapse of twelve years we will
haye added to the worlds stock of
gold another four thousand mil
lions, making altogether eight
thousand millions. Now If today
four thousand millions represents
the value of the world, and silver ia
at 60 cents an ounce, in twelve to
sixteen years from now, when We
have eight thousand millions of
gold epresenting the value, the
rise in prices all along the llne will
double the present price of silver
aud elevate it to Sl.2O per ounce.
There may be few people who
cannot catch this idea. On the
other hand there may be few
who can. Such people will not
worry about the silver question.
When we contemplate the thieves,
scnlawags and petty politicians the
cry OF "silver" has landed into
office in this state during the past
three or four years we are con-
strained to observe: 1t is high
time people began to look this sill
yer question straight in the face
Georges Weekly.
The above argument is based
upon false premises and conse-
Guen;ly falls 10 the ground. Four
thousand mil.iors of gold does not
represent ;he value of the world.
All values are governed by the
volume of money in circulation.
The ratio of gold to all other
moneys in circulation is very
small. The volume o. money in
circulation can be doubled or de-
creased one half within the next
decade without an increase or de-
crease i'll the output OF gold from
the mines. Mr.. George should
remember the world is no, on u
gold basis today, has never been,
and never will be. There ia
great difference between n gold
standard and gold basis.

JOHN &. BELL comprehends the
real situation as regards trusts.
He realizes in them the principles
of cooperation by which useless
labor and expense is eliminated
and that this expense is largely n
saving to tho consumer. Con-
gressman Bell knows tina. any sys-
tenn that provides the wants OF
men the cheapest will be sustained
by the people and no arbitrary
laws will be allowed to interfere.
Tho small traders must sooner or
later learn these facts and set
themselves to work to devise some
better system than the trusts sys-
TEN, or enlarge the system so that
il shall include themselves. We
believe in progress-in evolution.
The trust is IN that line aud no

You will take notice that when
the bill to increase the reyulnr
army to 100000 practically hung
fire and many believed that it
could not pass, Il sort of compro-
mise was fixed up. Then came
stern threat that if the bill fniled,
congress would be called in extra
session and excitement ran high.
When the tension was very strong,
a convenient story was sprung
that Russia, Germany, and France
had combined to drive Dewey and
Otis out of Manila and take those
islands, and Dewey was wiring
for help-and the bill passed.
Next day or two the yarn was ex-
ploded, but the bill passed all right,
