To the FREE Pr Ess:
During the las t Cleveland ad-
ministration the gold supply of the
world materially decreased, and
the only increase In the money sup
ply of this country was from the
issue of the silver certificates au-
thorized by the Sherman Act OF
1890. With a fatuity unprece-
denied Mr.. Cleveland forced
through congress the repeal of the
Sherman act, thus leaving the
country without any source OF new
money supply to meet the ever in
creasing demands of our growing
domestic and foreign trade. The
result was foretold at the time.
The contraction Of our money sup
ply brought on a great panic, the
signs OF which were abroad long
before Cleveland was inaugurated
1t is history that every dollars

land We're printed under the repub-
iican administration of Harrison.
The fact that we have had four
years of phenom email crops in this
country, with shortages, not to say
famines, elsewhere; the fact that
there has been an enormous in
crease in the gold production Of
the world, added to the coinage OF
three million Fifty cent silver dol

currency bill; the fact that great
wars have been going on during

SMOKERS CANCER FALLAclEs.
General Grants Illness said to BE
Not Due to Tobacco.

Notwithstanding all the good arcu-
mcntS that have been offered against
the evils of excessive smoking it can
hardly be claimed that the habit is en-
tirely responsible for the production of
cancer of the lips, mouth or throat.
Since the illness of General Grant II
has been the popular belief that the
dreaded disease from which he suf.
fcred was caused by his overindug.
encc in tobacco.
The facts. however. do not 10y any
means confirm the theory. Ii was well
settled in General Grants case that TO.
bacco in itself was not the initiative

Fifty years ago boys and young men

cured pocket money through the sale
of ginseng root. Stories were told of
how the demand for ginseng came from
China, and that this steady demand en-

price for the product that grew wild in

ginseng yearly TO China. This had Il
value then of S3l3.OO0. The 10000
pounds shipped from this country to
China in 1891 had II value of SS4O,OOO
