ITS MANAGER QUITS.
The Silver Democracy Takes Leave
OF the Champion Cheap
Coin Man.

Cruel and relentless fate appears to
be strewing the pathway of the silver
democracy with broken glass in large
quantities. If there are any primroses
along the highways of Organism and re-
pudiation they have not been discovered
thus far this spring. The outlook is
dark, chilly and foreboding.
Close upon the heels of the Bryan
Belmont battle of the banquets comes
the announcement that the silver de-
mocracy and General Manager "Coiu'
Harvey have parted company-just-as
wheat and silver parted company two
years ago. In this instance, however,
the separation was not caused by the
law of supply and demand, but by the
forces of incompatibility. The head of
the business end of the democratic
party has quit because Senator Jones
would not adopt "a practical business
like policy while Senator Jones claims
that the famous boolimaier on repudi-
alton, who planned an elopcment be-
tween silver and wheat, is visionary
and a dreamer
This seems like a very inopportune
time for Senator Jones to prefer such
charges against Coin" Harvey. After
Mr.. Harvey has been industriously gath
ering in the ''sinews of war" from those
who are willing to be "educated' up
to the theory that congress can nullify
the law of supply and demand and legis-
late value into a commodity, Senator
Jones now gravely announces that he
believes Mr.. Harvey is ''visionary.'
Can it be possible that Senator Jones
has just realized chat the head "em-
balmer'' of the sixteen to one fallacy is
a 'dreamer?" Has it taken the Arkan-
sas statesman three years to learn that
man who believes the government
can make 40 cents worth of silver pass
for a dollar is "visionary?"
The people are not so slow as Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas. They have
settled down to the conclusion that the
whole free silver business is not only
a dream" but a nightmare.-Chicago

COMMENT AND OPINION.

ETThe expansion of business goes on
from day to day without the aid orcon-
sent of Bryan.-Cleveland Leader.
ETThe democratic platform next year
is to consist of free silver and anti-eX-
panson. 1t would consist of the same
thing if republican managers were
building it.-Kansas City Journal
ECol. Bryan objects to the high
priced banquet but it is noticed that
he refuses to lecture in any town un-
til his eXorbtant price is paid, and
his check is in sight. There are some
DeS Moines people who could testify
to that.-Iowa State Register.
G-TThe Richmond (Na.) Times. which

apolis Journal.
GFThat the United States is now in
the full tide of period of general pros
perity. in which the conditions are ia
vorable to success in the various lines
of American enterprise, will scarcely be
questioned, except by those perverse
individuals in whose bosoms the hope
full pulsations of optimism have never
found odgment.-Baltimore Herald.
r-rMr. Bryan sticks to the old issues,
because, as he says, to abandon them
would be to admit that he and his par
ty were wrong a few years ago. As
Mr.. Bryan and his party have been
thoroughly proven by the logic of
events to have been wrong a few years
ago, the only effect of holding to the
old issues will be to show that they are
wrong still.-Kansas City journal.
TBryan will find it much more diff
ficult to rally his motley host in 1900
than it was in 1896. He will have to
bait them with a new campaign Jere-

acteristics Of the cheap-silver repudiN-
ton craze. 1t must be a plea that will
appeal to the credulity of the ignorant,
the covetousness of the envious and the
cupidity of the dishonest. These ele-
ments are still numerous enough in
our society to nourish democratic am
bitions and to occasionally WELD the
balance of power. And not until the
democratic creedmakers cease truck
ling to them will Organism perish as
a semi-available and more or less dan
gerous force in our politics-Cincinnati

SIX STATESARE HONORED
Pennsylvania, Georgia and New

THREE ARMORED CRUISERS.

Washington, April s.-The president
has authorized the battleships and ar

named after cities are to be named the
Denver, Des Moines, Chattanooga, Gal

Petitions by the hundred have been
flowing into the White House and navy
department ever since the new ships
were provided, urging the merits of
various names. The president and Sec
retary Long enjoyed the rivalry and in
making the final determination consid-
Grafton was given not only to the
urgency of the influence brought to
bear. but also to the several sections or
the country. Pennsylvania petitioned
through Gov. Stone, Senators Quay and
penrosc and the entire delegation in
the house of representatives. Georgia
did not petition the navy department,
and it is believed the choice of south
ern state was due to a desire by the
president to compliment those with
whom he visited on his recent south
ern trip. Senator Ellins ana the con-
gressional delegation were most active
for West Virginia. Representative
Mercer made it his business to besiege
the navy department with petitions for
Nebraska. The choice of California
also SENS to be a personal compliment,
without the same effort shown in other

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
The Prompt Way You
Is
THE EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: "My
blood is out of order 1t needs purify
ing. feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right?
They generally go and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out tn i'm
purities of the blood-thatist is their work
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking a laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are aLrea6y
in your blood, causing your present
sickness ii bares there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleancrs fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using

DEMOCRACY'S DOOM.
Bryan's AntasOnism to Colo Demo-
Gratis Keeps Up the Faction
nj Warfare.

There is good reason to believe that
the attitude which Col. Bryan has as
sumed toward the gold democrats is
deplored by a large body of men who
voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 for the sake
of regularity. They did not then ac-
cept the sixteen to one heresy, and
they are farther from acceptance to-
day than they were in the summer of
1896. They have been hoping that the
party leaders would get together on
some basis which would retire the sill
yer question at the sixteen to one ratio
to the rear or place 5imetallism upon
a ratio to be determined by demo-
cratic congress, as has been advocated
by the editor of the New York Jour
nal. Most of the gold democrats would
like to rejoin the party bearing the
old name, but they will not do it if the
free silver and populism OF the Chi
cago platform are to be the cardinal
features of the party faith in 1900. They
will be angered and driven farther away
by the dictatorialrnd offensive attitude
which Col. Bryan assumed toward MI
Belmont. Many of those democrats
who voted for Mr.. Bryan and his plat
form against their better judgment will
also be alienated by the arrogance OF
Col. Bryan and Chairman Jones. They
see that it is absurd to make another
campaign upon the Chicago platform.
They see that whatever doubts there
might have been as to the results of
a reaffirmation of the gold standard

able logic of the past two years.
The only hope of the democratic
party was in the getting together of
its factions upon a platform which
would ignore the issues of 1896 or force
them to the rear. The Germans, the
Harrisons, the Crokers, and, it may
safely be said, the conservative leaders
in Indiana, have been hoping and la
boring to adjust the differences of 1896
so that the party might act together in
1900. They have been doing this be-
cause they see that the party must
win voters to carry the country, and
that ten voters will be lost where one
will be gained for 'he heresies of the
Chicago platform. In 1896 the Bryan
ticket had the ent re populist vote, and
it had some republicans who have since
seen the folly of sixteen to one. They
cannot win a republican to silverism,
there are no populists to win, and, hav-
ing to choose between the populism of
Bryan and candidate for president
who stands for financial confidence,
many who Soted for Bryan in 1896 for
party's sale viii not vote for him in

Circulating Gold.

The treasury department reports
that, as the result of the comparative
scarcity of paper money in the treasury
and the consequent refusal to give
banks paper in exchange for gold, the
circulation of gold coin throughout the
country is greater to-day than in many
years before. There was a time when
gold piece would not be seen in the
ordinary channels of trade from one
years end to another, but Americans
are now L2coming better acquainted
with the yellow coins. The popular
prejudice in favor of paper money as
the medium of exchange is merely the
result of education. In England gold
circulates freely, annd no objection is
made to il, and doubtless in this coun-
try the people will like it better when
they become more accustomed to hand
ling it, silver cranks of course excepted.

VALUE OF GOOD CURRENCY.
That Which Represents an EquiVa-
lent in Gold Is Quickly
ObtninabIe.

The more money" advocates are
having a lesson in the operation CT the
law of supply and demand by which it
is hoped they will profit. They have al
ways put the cart before the horse"
In times of business depression the de-
mand for currency is less than inactive
periods. As a consequence there is less
of it in circulation, and the surplus, for
which there is no need, is stored away
in banks, in the treasury vaults and in
other repositories where it remains idle
and unproductive.
The people who want cheap money
and lots of it, from ascent silver dollars
nodded in the holy ratio of sixteen to
one down to fiat paper turned out by
the bale or carload, say this depression
is due to the scarcity of money in circu-
lation. The truth is the other war.
The depression causes the limited cir
culation of money. No more effective
demonstration of the principle that
commercial activity brings a lively de-
mand for currency could be afforded
than is TO be seen every day in the reg
ular course of business transactions in
this country. Confidence has been fully
restored, prosperity is general and the
belief in the stability of our finances
for some time to come is firmly estab-
| lished. AS a. consequence paper cur
rency is in great demand. The st. Louis
Globe-Democrat puts the matter clearly
when ii says:
'As matter of fact, the circulation has
been much larger recently than it ever was
before in the United States Money is
growing in volume constantly, but it is
growing more rapidly than population
| The per capita circulation is now up to
the highest point ever touched. 1t Is going
up every month. Yet there ire complaints
that in one of it's clements it is not ado
quate to the demand. There is not enough
just now of paper money to fully meet the
needs of commerce. This is the report from
the trade centers.
IAN this is an evidence of great business
activity and financial confidence. There Is
apparently enough money in circulation IL
the aggregate, metallic and paper, to meet
the demands even in this period of un-
paralleled business expansion, but the
paper ingredient of it is not quite large
enough. When there is any sort of doubt
about the governments disposition or
ability to convert all its money into gold
nobody wants to accept paper or silver
when he can get gold. In conditions like
the present, however, when the gold
standard is certain to be maintained every
other kind of money is more desirable in
business than gold, but paper money is in
especial demand. Thus it happens that at
present there is an apparent scarcity of
greenbacks. national bank notes and other
currency. This condition, of course, can
only be temporary, for the volume of the
circulating medium is constantly increas-
ing, while the use of checks, drafts and
other cash economizing devices is also
growing. The dearth, or apparent dearth,
