MUST MEET ON IMPERIALISM,
Opponents of Mr.. bryan viii Not BE
Able to Dodge the Para
mount Issue.

The eoft-demonstfated ability of Will
liam Jennings Bryan was never more
effectively exercised than in the prep
aration of the really great speech
which he delivered in formally accept
ing the nomination for president by
the democratic party. That speech is
in itself a lofty, serious and patriotic
discussion of the greatest issue that
has confronted the American people,
since 1860. The man who made that
speech is a developed Bryan, if not a
new Bryan, and his opponents will be
compelled to meet him and do battle
with him on different grounds than
those of 1896. On the currency ques-
ton he dwells not at all, except to.
say that imam, the handiWork of God.
comes first; money, the handiwork of
man, is of inferior Importance y which
is the nearest he comes to possible
hint at a subordination of the silver
issue. The opponents of Mr.. Bryan
will be compelled, whether they like
it or not, to meet him on the issue of
imperialism. He presents it in such
form and with such mastery force
that they cannot evade it if they
would. In his first utterance of the
campaign Mr.. Bryan gives assurance
that the contest is not to be one sided
by any means, and that the supporters
of Mckinley will have no reason to
possess overconfdence when the bat
tie opens. They are dealing this year
with Mr.. Bryan at his best.-Utica OBJ
server.

Treasured by Genuine Americans.
Such force is there in Bryan's argu-
ments against our conquering and en-
slaying of foreign races, and with such
Hmpfd clearness are they set forth,
that the best of the republicans abil-
ity will straightWay rush to challenge
them, will count itself lucky to be al
lowed to break even an impotent
lance against them. It is a speech
that will be an inspiration in the cam
paign-of comfort and assistance to
the democrats, of dread and discom-
fiture to the republicans. III will be
a whole armory in itself of the very
finest campaign material to the demo
Gratis; the republicans will spend the
next three months in cease1ess, but
vain, attempts to rebut its reasoning
and to lessen its effect upon the ma
tional mind. 1T is "A speech which the
genuine American, who is proud of his
repub1ieanism, Of his constitution, Of
his traditions and of his. declaration
of independence will read and will
treasure with pardonable pride; for
never did a statesman of the United
States deliver himself Of speech

lofty a plane and making 1t an ori-

HAS NO CoaipETIToR.
Ono Patent Medicine Which Has the
Field to Itself.

A prominent physician was recently
asked why It was there are so many
blood purifiers" nerve tonics'' and
medicines for every Ill except Que of the
most common and annoying diseases, viz.
piles.
He replied, there are two principal rea-
sons: First, physicians and people in gem
eral have thought for years that the only
permanent cure for piles was a surgical
operation. and that medicinal preparations
were simply palliatlves and not a cure for
the trouble.
Another reason is that piles. unlike
many other diseases, Is in no sense al
imaginary trouble. sufferer from piles
is very much aware OF the fact and for
this reason the few pile salves aud ONT
ments. etc, have been short lived be-
cause the patient very soon discovered
their worthleesness.
| He continues: However, there is a new
pile remedy which, judging from its popu-
larity and extent OF It's sale. will soon
take the place OF all other treatment for
piles. 1t has certainly made thousands OF
cures in this obstinate disease and its
merit, repeatedly tested. has made Il
famous among physicians and wherever
introduced The remedy is sold by drug
glsts everywhere under name of Pyramid
Pile Cure.
It is in convenient suppository form
composed OF harmless astnngents and
healing oils, gives Immediate relief IN
ell forms OF piles aud radical cure with
out resort to the knife and without pain
or interference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that It contains no cocaine mol
opium and is absolutely safe to use at an,
time.
One OF the supposltories Is applied a

and painless
II permanently cures itching, bleedini
