BAD HEALTH.

 Calls. These Bring on the
 Deadly Bright's Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear as a result of the feverish restlessness of modern civilization. It is treacherous enemy, working out it's deadly effect under cover of the most triaing symptoms. The first indication of changes ill the urine, frequent head aches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial measures. Prickly Ash Bitters is kidney remedy of the greatest merit; 1t is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly re- lieves the aching or soreness that always appears in advanced stages, checks the progress of the disease and through it's excellent cleansing and regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels, it brings back the strength and ruddy glow of vigorous health.

sCHIFF FoRsEEs TROUBLE.
New York Broker Says Currency Re-
form Is Needed.

ohiess there Is currency reform, q panic,
beside which former panics will seem in
signlncant. was predicted by Jacob H.
Schin OF the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb
q Co., In speech before the New York
chamber OF commerce yesterday Mr..
Schin said he did not regard such a panic
as imminent. but believed it will come
unless something is done to remedy the
lack of elasticity of the present currency
system He declared that he did not favor
the plan proposed by Secretary Shaw, for
the relief Of the situation. it being his
opinion that the Secretary's plan would
ana speculation rather than legitimate
business. Mr. Schiff favored a currency
based on commercial paper as more help
fuI to the genral business interests Of
the country.
tended by large number of business men
and hnancfers, and a resolution on the
subject offered by Mr. Schiff was unani-
mously adopted as follows:
Resolved, That 1t be referred to the COM
mttee on finance and currency. of the
chamber OF commerce. to consider the rec
ommenda ton of the Secretary of the Treas
ury made in his report to Congress, dated
December g. 1895. to permit national banks
to Issue a volume of additional government
guaranteed currency, equal In amount to 50
per cent. OF the bond secured currency
maintained by them. but subject to a tax
of 5 or per cent until redeemed.
BE 1t further resolved That the COM
mittee on finance and currency submit a
report at the next monthly meeting Of the
chamber upon the aforementioned recon-
mendation of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. together with any other different
measures which the committee may be able
to suggest as efficient and practicable for
the attainment of the purpose for which
the recommendation of the Secretary of
the Treasury has been submitted to Con-
greSS.'

NEW YORK. January 5.-Wall street dis
covered before the opening in the stock
market today what the sober element OF
the specula tive community took for granted
yesterday afternoon, that Jacob H. Schif
address before the Chamber of Commerce

tary system was not intended to apply 10

plain
There is no occasion at this time for dis
cussing the subject OF Mr.. Schin's allocu-
lions further than to say that it has been
steadily assuming more important proper
lions in the considerations of the financial
community, and that while opinions differ
as to the methods to be pursued and the
measures to be adopted to provide cor
receives and preventives which will spare
the country any such calamity as Mr.. Schin
predicted as the outcome of an unreform-
ed money system. there will be no dispute
as to the Importance of the subject.

Securities Not Impaired.

Leaving time to do It's work, however, the
speculative and investment community de-
cided this morning that the fundamentally
strong conditions of the securities market
had not been impaired by the dismal con-
tingent future which Mr.. Schiff portrayed.
The stock market took heart Of the grace
allowed and rapidly recovered in most d.
rections the ground lost by the precipitate
decline in the last hour yesterday. when Ill
digested reports of the Schiff address
caused such q helter-skeIter outpouring or
stocks.
The London market. which showed gen.
orally irregular tendencies under continent
tai pressure for gold, sent over lower
range of prices for American stocks before
the local opening. The price changes were,
however. ignored in the initial dealings.
The opening was at an advanced level. and
under the leadership of Amalgamated Cop
per- Anaconda. which sold ex-dividend of
3h per cent: Reading, Union Pacific and
Steel common. the whole list moved up
forenoon, and around midday the price level
was up to about the highest of yesterday.
Minor Features of Interest.
Minor features of interest were Kansas
City Southern Western Maryland and
American Locomotive. Concerning Kansas
City Southern. II IS said that control of the
railroad had passed TO the St Paul al
though no official information In that re-
spect was forthcoming. At one time during
the afternoon Ii was reported on the floor
of the stock exchange that control of Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas was also passing,
presumably to Hill or Hartman interests.
Apart from these reports, the chief novel
features of conjecture and gossip related
to the forthcoming dividend declaration
price and to the probable cause of the
strength OF American Sugar Refining stock
and the confident buliShness manifested
concerning it. In some quarters expecta-
ton as to the Union Pacific dividend are
for a disbursement which will bring the
distribution for the current fiscal year up
TO per cent.
No authoritative information was obtain
able, however, other tnan that the action
of the directors will be satisfactory to the
stockholders. AS for American Sugar Re-
filming, the annual meeting of the company
next Wednesday may produce something
of interest. In view of the rather unusual
and pressing invitation which has been sent
to stockholders to attend that meeting in

Rather interesting but not otherwise
worthy IS the Enthusiastically cynical
view expressed by portion Of the finan-
cial community of Mr.. Schiff's address. 1t
runs something like this:
"All the warnings. Vanderlip's, Harri-
mans (about competition railroad build
tngs) and Schins. come from the same
quarter Philanthropic advice and hints
in Wall street should be coppered. When
money Is tight 1t means that the big peo-
pie want to buy stocks and that the little
people can't have any money until the
Campaign of distribution is ready"
1t is this skeptical habit of a certain kind
of speculative mind which fills Wall street
with shattered hopes. Traders who think

which can then be sold at a price
fixed by the farmer instead of the
speculator. The farmer can do this
if he diversifies, but not until he
does. Look for a moment at the
condition of affairs if this was uni
versally followed by the farmers of
the South. BY raising everything
on the farm needed and less cotton
there would not be the same neces-
sity for money, but if there was, as
diversified farming is more profitable
than the one-crop plan, the farmer
would have the money if he needed
it, and have it all the year round in
stead of in the fall as with the cotton
crop, and then with one-half to two.
thirds of cotton raised that we now
have the price would be sufficiently
high as to net the farmer as much as
he is now getting for his cotton.
This he would have as clear profit,
as he has been diving at home"
This thing narrows itself down to
this question: Which had you rather
do, raise great deal of cotton, no
home supplies, and take the price for
your cotton that is offered you, or
raise everything at home and have
something all the time to sell and
then raise one-half the cotton you
now raise and get as much for it as
you now get for it with the proba-
bilities much in favor of getting more?
1t seems to me that the last would
be the best in every particular, for it
seems that everything is in it's favor
and nothing in favor of the one crop
plan. If it is possible to get the
same price for one bale of cotton we
are now getting for two we save the
expense of raising and marketing
one-half, which would make the
profit about four times as much as il
now is.
The things that to my mind will
make the South the garden spot of
