MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
A Daily Increase of 1852 1904 for
Eight Years


During the last eight years Of Republi-
can administration the increase in the
volume of our currency has amounted
to S5o2.3O4 per day, or more than S1O-
100000 per month--the total increase
being $1,O14,716,5G1. Inis increase has
been chiefly and directly due to the poll
cies OF sound money and protection.

Republican Congress 142 Democrats vot-
ing against it and only II voting for it
in the House Of Representatives and %

to the famous Gresham law that bad

positive committal of the country to the

Of gold to our currency. The incrcas-
lngly large output Of gold from Alaska,
California, Colorado and other Western
States remained in the United States
instead Of being driven out, as would
have been the case had free silver tri-

but the United States gold standard drew

the world

over our imports. Instead of sending
gold out of the country as in Demo

been to cause gold to be distributed at

THE PR0DlGAL PARTY.
Biblical Story that Fits the Democracy
of Today.
portland Oregonian.)

cortland Oregonian.)
The Democratic party is like a certain
son which wandered off into far coun-
try and filled his belly with the husky
which the swine did eat. But when he
came to himself he said, | will arise and
90 back to the home of sense and honesty
which | left and will ask to be taken
back as Il hired servant on probation.
will admit that ! was wrong and have
now seen the light and l hope to be re-
stored through good behavior to my for
mer place in the confidence of the folks
at home and decent people generally
That is to say, the Democratic party
could be conscientiously likened to the
prodigal son if it had acted on the lines
just laid down. But the attitude it ac-
tually assumes is something entirely diff
ferent Without explaining or reprobat-
ing his actions Of 1896 and 1900 when
he voted for Bryan. Judge Parker asks
the support and confidence of all gold
standard men because he somewhat pat
ronizingly recognizes the gold standard
as ''irrevocably esta blished." He does
not animadvcrt upon his own conduct in
leaving home or even upon The quality
Of the nutriment which the far country
of populism afforded the Democratic
paunch.
AS near as we can make it out, the
Democratic idea is that the Elder Broth
err should be thrown out OIL the world
and the Prodigal Son installed is man
ager Of the estate.

On the evening of Sept. {, 1904, the
land was at peace, ana nc augures Of
dread possessed it. Vermont had said
its say, in no unmeaning manner, anG
all was calm in city and country, while
III New York was gathering a band. just
Il few faithful editors of Democratic
antecedcnts, to talk over the political sit;
uation, and incidentally deyour that
square meal which, when eaten in public
and accompanied by speeches, is called a
banquet.
Among the chivary which gathered
there was Henry Watterson of Ken
lucky. The moment he was seen ut the
festive board those editors and specta-
tors who are accustomed to observe tho
usual progress of events knew that some
thing was going to happen They di-
vined that Henry had been seeing
things 1t is Il way he has md then
he says things.
Time rolled on. The rich New York
vinnds, prepared for the unaccustomed
palatcs OF the visiting editors. the fiery
cocktails the generous wines. the nips of
strong waters, all these had met the
fate prepared for them And then came
Watterson, as chief speaker of the even
ihSs.
Watterson is at times an excitable
man. This was one of the times He
was not only excited. he was painfully,
morbidly, scared And Of all things in
the world this brave, loyal. chivalrous
American gentleman was afraid of an
other brave, loyal, chivarous American
gentleman-the President of the United
States. Theodore Roosevelt.
There was rant about raising the
black flag" "scuttling the ship OF civil
service and cutting the throat of re-
ciprocity" which made Watterson's hear
ers turn pale, though they knew no moro
than did the speaker to what these trucu-
lent words referred
The trembling editors listened, appal-,
cd. Watterson lowered his voice and
muttered forth charges Of ruth and ruin
against Roosevelt past, Roosevelt pres
cnt. Roosevelt future. Again he paved
the earth. shook his fists aloft and bels
lowed his predictions of an everlasting
candidate for the presidency, and an eve
crlasting President in the person of The
odore Roosevelt. if the Republicans cone
time in power. Watterson's auditors
thought Of Carter H. Harrison I. and Car
ter H. Harrison H., perennial and ever
blooming Mayors of Chicago, but, as
these examples Of political longevity be-
long to the Democratic party, it Gained
the nerves of the wrougbt-up banquet
ers and they were able to brace up and
listen to the impassoned gentleman from
Kentucky.

Price Placed ON Repentance

Gold Democrats who bolted the Bryan
party will be permitted to join the HILL
Belmont-Parker organization, provided
they pay big entrance fee. The Demo
cratic State Committee of Indiana is
preparing to levy heavy assessment on
gold Democrats who wish to vote for
Parker. In other words, the men who
have been reyiled so bitterly by Mr..
Bryan for supporting Palmer or McKin-
ley at the last two elections must open
their pocketbooks if they wish to sit
humbly in the Parker bandwagon.

Lat.,t Republio.n outrau..

On Aug. 20 a fall of snow, the first
of the season, occurred in Minnesota,
and it cannot be denied that it occurred
under the Roosevelt administration.
Crops, flowers and garden produce were
damaged, and there was the dickens to
pay generally.
The Republican party cannot deny
that this thing has happened under a
Republican administration, but it can do
this: 1t can promise another snowfall
on Nov. 8, SO vast that the memory of
all preceding snowstorms will be lost.

CHAIRMAN CORTELYOU
Glad to Receive Advice, but Will
Not Accept Dictation

George B. Cortelyou was unani-
mously chosen chairman of'the Rerelb-
lican national committee at a meeting
held just after the adjournment of the
~conventioA.
In thanking the committee for the
honor, he told the members that while
he would be glad to have the benefit
of their advice and counsel, he intended
to be chairman in fact, and would ac-
cept no dictation from any one, high
or low. He told them that the friends
of the late Chairman Hanna were his
friends, and he asked for the same
measures of confidence and support that
had been given to the last chairman.
In conclusion, he sought the advice of
both old and new members.
Mr.. COlrtelyou made no formal state
ment of his plans. He resigned as e c
rotary of commerce and labor as soon
as he was elected chairman. the resig-
nation to take effect as soon as his sue

give any active time to political mat

No vice chairman will be appointed
and the new chairman will divide his
time between the New York and Chi

member Of the committee will no doubt
be designated to take charge of the
headquarters in this city. Headquar-
ters will not be opened in either city
until the last part of July. Meanwhile
Cortelyou expects to select the execu-
tive committee and make his prelim-
mary arrangements for the campaign.

As Viewed In London

London, June 24.-Few of the morn
ing papers comment on the nomination
Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks, although
all of them print long accounts of the
proceedings. The editorials treat Of the
result as a ~foregone conclusion. The
Morning Post says: If Fairbanks adds
little to the strength of the party
ticket he cannot be said to detract from
it. The selection of Fairbanks as a
running mate to Roosevelt, who pre-
ferred another, may be regarded not as
a revolt against Roosevelt, but as a hint
from the delegates Of the state Of New
York that the president is not all
pOWerful.

EASY WAY TO CURE CATARRH|

Breathe HyOmei and Kill All
Catarrhal Germs. "MOney|
Back If 1t Fails" says Ill. c.
Pierce.
There is no dangerous stomach
druggipg when using Hyomei. The
healing and aromatic balsams which
this wonderful treatment
are breathed through a neat pocket
inhaler that with every 81 out
fit.
In this way, the germ-killing and
health. giving Hyomei penetrates to
the most remote cells of the lungs.
1t searches out and kills disease germs
in the air passages of the head, throat
and nose, soothes and heals the irri-
tated mucuos membrane, and abso-
Iutely drives catarrh from the
system.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Hyomei by the best
people in Barton, that FL. @. Pierce
has the greatest confidence in its
power to cure catarrh. He believes
in it SO thoroughly, that he will give
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure, the pur-
chaser to be sole Judge.
This is an unusual offer and the
first time that any medicine or treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has been
sold in this way. If it cures, the ex-
is trifing, while if it fails, the
cost is absolutely nothing.
If you are fortunate enough not to
be troubled with catarrh, tell your
friends of Il. G. Pierce's offer and get
them 70 take advantage of it.
