GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES.
Double Enders Popular Among smok-
ers In Mexico.

Mexico may be behind us in some
things, but she has us dashed to the
wheel when It comes to making
matches" said a man just in from the
land of the Montezumas as he handed
out a wax lucifer with a head on each
end.
II saw nothing but double ended
matches while l was away, and l can
tell you that they saw ones record
with the Recording Angel. If you dig
down in your pocket and find one
match the chances are that you are
sure of a light, because If one end
goes out the other is left. These old
time matches, just revived, that splut-
ter brilliant sparks may be all right
when it comes to pleasing the baby,
but the fellow who puts on the mar
ket a double ended match will find

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who r willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such n woman
is never done' and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
operating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be n good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,

If they really desire an elastic
currency and not more currency,
why do not the bankers propose a
reduction of the bank note issue
with a provision that an increase
can be made? Why do the bank
ers not apply their tax idea to the
present bank notes and provide
that the issue of bank notes shall
ordinarily be seventy-hve per
cent of the par value of the bonds ?
The government might then
permit them to issue an additional
twenty-five per cent upon the
payment of a tax that would
retire extra issue when the emer-
gency was over. This would
give them an elastic currency, but
alas, it has a fatal objection. 1t
would not give them as much
profit as their plan, and therefore
it is out of the question.
The democratic party is COM
mitted to the doctrine that the
issue of money is government
function that ought not to be
delegated to the banks at all, but
in addition to this standing objec-
ton it opposes this new form of
currency which lessons the secu-
rity of the depositor, increases the
risk of the note-holder and in
wolves our country more deeply
in the Wall Street control of our
finances. The hnanciers are not
willing to allow the money ques-
ton to remain settled. They
vociferously insist that it is dead
when any proposition is made that
they do not like, and then they as
vociferously insist that it shall be
kept alive SO long as they have
any new advantages to gain. If
Wall Street is to be given any
new mortgage upon the treasury,
the republicans should be COM
PEELED to accept all the response
bility. The small bankers are
already beginning to see the dan
ger of an asset currency, and the
democratic party will have their
co operation in fighting this new
scheme of the large hnanciers.-

THE BANKERS CONSPIRACY.


The press dispatches report that
the house committee on banking
and currency has decided to make
a favorable report on a credit
currency bill in line with the rec
concentrations of the American
Bankers association. All the
republican members of the com
mittee present joined in the
report and all of the democrats
present opposed it. Good for the
democrats. Our party ought to
present a united front against this
new piece of favoritism. One OF
the first acts of the republican
party when it came into power
ten years ago was to increase the
profits OF the national bank.
Since that time it has increased
the taxes upon the people and
now plans a new tax in the form
of subsidy. But it is still en-
deavoring to accommodate the
bankers, and this new proposition
seeks to inaugurate a new prin-
ciple.
When the national bank was
empowered to issue notes, the
measure was advocated on the
ground that it would create a
demand for government bonds
and thus help the government dur
ing the war. That argument has
long since ceased to be effective,
and there is no excuse now for
the bank note except that it puts
the volume of money in the hands
of the bankers instead Of the gov
ernment. The credit currency
has all of the objections of the
present bank currency and several
other objections which can not be
made against the bank note as it
now exists.
1t is interesting to note the
change of position made by the
bankers. In 1896 they said we
had plenty of money and did not
need any more. and yet. immedi-
ately after the election, they
asked for and obtained the privi-
lege of issuing more notes on the
ground that the country needed
more. Since that time we have
had an enormous increase in the
gold production and gold coinage
We have increased the silver coin
age and the bank note issue until
the per capita circulation is more
than fifty per cent greater than
it was ten years ago, and yet the
bankers insist that we must have
more money still-provided they
are allowed to furnish it. If the
government stands back of the
new currency, the people will
bear the risk and the bankers will
make the money; if the govern
ment does not stand back of the
currency, the bankers will make
the money and the people vii
run the risk, but in either case il
means more profit to the banker
