You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him - to those who
don't. sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aver
medicines are not "cure-alls.
Perhaps if we tear leaf
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
"DEAR DIR. AVER:
l want your advice for my little boy.
He is getting very thin. He has no appe-
lite. He is fifteen years old. When he
was four years old he had lung fever, bur
his health was good until two years ago.
Since then he is failing fast. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. He spits
all the time awful bad. The spits are big,
thick, and white. Yours truly,
Mrs. MARGARET MURPHY,
March 80, 1900. Kinbrae, Mimi"
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"DEAR MADAM:
ave enclose our book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust you viii find
Just the information you desire.
"You should begin at once the use of
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation of cod-liver oil, as
SCOTS Emulsion, and give him that as
well. Pay particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourishing foods as rare
steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, etc
Above all, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
fresh air. Let him live out of doors all
that is possible. BY carrying out these
general suggestions we shall hope to hear
soon that your son is improving in every
April S, 1900. ]. c. AVER"
You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we recon-
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
"DEAR DR.. AVER:
any little boy has improved so much
since received your advice that want to
write and tell you how thankful am.
s'When l first wrote you, on March
50, he only weighed 50 pounds, but now
he weighs 81 pounds; and all this gain
since the 9Th of April, when ] FIRST began
to follow your directions.
" Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.
July II, 1900. MARGARET MURPHY"
Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here to
serve you in just the same way,
and we will tell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need doctor
rather than a prepared medi-
cine, and we tell them so. IF
the doctors only knew it, we
are working with them every
day.

NOT A DEAD ISSUE.

A writer in the April number of Money
warns the friends of sound money that the
campaign this year will be "a second bat
tie of the standards" that the free-silver
issue was neither averted nor removed
by the passage of the gold standard act;
that the Kansas City convention will re-
affirm the Chicago platform and specif-
cally indorse 16 to 1; that the discussion of
the financial bill in both houses shows that
most of the Democrats believe. that free
silver will be the leading issue. He says
that Mr.. Bryan cannot be shelved because
his party holds his views regarding the
free coinage of silver. He says that even
party may capture the House. The as
sertion of the writer. Raymond Dodge,
that the Senate majority in favor of gold
in 1901 will be but two, will surprise most
people who have counted a dozen or more.
He holds that the Democratic organiza-
ton for the money fight is stronger now
than i'm 1896. Since his defeat i'm 1896 Mr..
Bryan has labored necessarily to keep
the silver heresy alive. while the free silver
propaganda has been vitalized by 1000 cam
paign orators trained in the Bryan school
established in st. Louis some time ago.
While Mr.. Dodge's warning is worth con-
sidering, it is impossible to believe that Mr..
Bryan's 1000 orators can do much to over
throw the logic of good times. full en-
ployment and good prices for farmers.
There may be some lingering sentiment
that bimetallism on a commercial ratio is
desirable. but there is nothing to show
that in any section of the West silverism
can have the intense support it had In
1896. Nevertheless. if Mr.. Bryan's conven
ton reaffirms the silver heresy of the Chi
cage platform the friends of the world Z
monetary standard can afford to meet
them on the issue. So long as Is to is
presented as a living issue it must be
fought. because any success of Organism
will be the success of the element which
will make war upon the gold ~standard and
the present financial policy which has CIV
en- the country the assurance which sus-
tains its prosperity.

during the campaign of 1896. with constant
the dictation and control of British CAPT.
talists, Mr.. Bryan was brayed in the NOR
tar of public opinion. Did his foolishness
depart from him? Read what he said two
days after the election, in an appeal to his
followers:
The friends of bimetallism have not been
vanquished, they have imply been over
come. They believe that the gold standard
is n conspiracy of the money changers
against the welfare of the m race;
and. until convinced of their error, they
Will continue the warfare against IT. =
In the face of an enemy rejoicing In its
victory. let the roll be called for the next
engagement, and urge all friends or b-
metallism to renew their allegiance TO the
cause. The year 1900 is not far
away. Before that year arrives the evil ef-
fects of a gold standard will be even more
evident than they are now, and the people,
then ready TO demand an American finan-
cial policy for the American people. will
join with us in the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the legal ratio of IS to 1. with
out waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation.
This was issued on the 9Th of November,
1896. The war with Spain was in the future.
and Mr.. Bryan did not foresee the issues
OF Imperialism and opposition to all the
war measures Of a Republican administra-
ton. In the absence of new issues he pro-
posed to maxi the fight in 1900 on the old
one. and his very first bray after being
brayed in the mortar of public opinion was
on the old issue of 16 to 1, and in favor Of
American emancipation from the dictation
of British financiers. In view of the unex-
ampled prosperity which the country is
now enjoying under the gold standard 1t
the conspiracy of the money changers a
while longer.

The theory of the undergraduates is
that the energy of the government and the
cohesiveness of the Nation are diminished
by the extension of territory. In reality
this is distrust of republican government.
This new Democratic doctrine was not
accepted by President James X. Polk. In
his fourth annual message. sent to Con-
gress Dec. 5. 1S4s, he referred at some
length to the large acquisition of territory
by the Mexican war and added:
The apprehensions which were enter
tanned by some of our statesmen IN the
earlier periods of the government that our
system was incapable Of operating with
sufficient energy and success over largely
extended territorial limits, n that If this
were attempted it would fall to pieces by
its own weakness, have been dissipated by
our experience. BY the division OF power
between the States and the federal gov
eminent the latter is found to operate with
as much energy in the extremes as In the
center. 1t is as efficient in the remotest
of the thirty States which now compose the
Union as it was in the thirteen states
which formed our Constitution. So far
from entertaining apprehensions of the
safety of our system by the extension OF
our territory the belief is confidently en-
tertained that each new State gives
strength and an additional guaranty Tor
the preservation OF the Union itself.
This patriotic view OF the vitality of re-
publican government and the expansive
quality of the Constitution is commended
to p~resent-day Democrats.

REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERN

Governor Taylor's private secretary. who
Is visiting friends in this State, maintains
that the real question in the Kentucky
case is whether a republican form of gov
eminent exists. and that the Supreme Court
of the United States has jurisdiction of the
case under the provision of the Constitu-
ton which says: 1.-THE United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union a
republican form of government" The sec
rotary maintains that under the Goebel
law republican government has been prac-
tically overthrow, the declared will of the
people reversed and an oligarchy estab-
lished. All this may be true, but it has
been done under and through a repub-
lican form of government. The secretary
says: IF the court decides that it cannot
interfere the Republicans will quietly ac-
quiesce and refer the matter back to the
people, confident of an overwhelming in
dorsement at the ballot box" Again., we
remark that Is republican government.
the people has enacted an infamous law
under which popular elections may be re-
versed 1t will not do to say that the form
of government is not republican, especially
as the succeeding Legislature may repeal
the odious law. Neither does the disfran-
chisement of any class of citizens in Ken
lucky or any other Southern State con-
stitute such a departure from republican
form of government as would Justify the
United States in interfering. A republican
form of government admits very wide va
riations in the qualifications of voters and
in the manner of ascertaining the results
of elections. There is nothing wrong in
the Constitution or form of government in
Kentucky. 1t is the people who need re-
forming. especially on the Democratic side.
The victims of the infamous Goebel law
should appeal from the people drunk with
partisan excitement and malice to the
people sober with a sense of shame and
justice. That is the way to establish and
maintain republican form of government.
