Enthusiastic for Beckham.

Carlisle. Ky, Nov. 16.-The situa-
ton relative to the contest for Unit-
ed States Senator before the next gem
er;L assembly is receiving widespread
attention and universal discussion
throughout this county. While there
are some Democrats in different por-
tiuns of the county, and especially Ill
Carlisle, who blame Gov. Beckham
with the defeat of the Democratic
State ticket, and desire his defeat for
the senatorship, yet the great masses
of Democrats throughout the county,
AMI especially in the rural districts,
are enthusiastically in favor of his
election. Especially is this true
among the temperance people, who
admire the Governor for his noble
stand on this question. Most of the
Democrats are very open in saying
Post correspondent has talked say
that GovernorBeckham is as much the
nominee of the party for United
States Senator as was Judge Hager
for Governor, or any other nominee
on the State ticket, and they cannot
see how the Democratic members OF
the general assembly can refuse to
support the Governor for that posi-
ton. The Hon. Coleman S. Temple
man, Democratic representatiye-elect
from Nicholas and Robertson coun-
ties, is for Beckham, and his vote for
the Governor will represent rightly

eucy

II Beckham is not defeated for the

desire on the part of the Courier

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The present financial trouble-or
money panic, as some choose to call
it. can be explained in few words.
There is nothing very complex nor
ominous about it, You have heard of
corner" of the wheat market? the
cotton market? the tobacco market?
Well, this is simply a corner of the
money market. The banks have plen-
" of money--some of them more than
they ever had The people have as
much money as usual. The banks are
chary about letting money out on
loans or drafts, in order to protect
their own interests and those of their
depositors. They want to be prepared
for any emergency, run" or any
thing like that 1t is their aim to
conserve the interests of all concern
ed. The banks are not afraid of each
otter nor afraid of the people. They
simply want to keep the situation
well in hand
The main and only trouble at pres
ent is a lack of circulating money.
The money of the country is corner
ed shut up. The city banks, the larg
concerns with millions of capital, are
the prime cause of'this trouble. Some
of them will not let money out on
checks, only in stipulated allowances.
They are backed in this. by a State
law, which, when deemed necessary,
compels a depositor TO give his bank
sixty days notice before checking out
his account. The country banks are
less exacting and are doing all they
can to accommodate their patrons and
the public and are doing 1t well.
There is a concerted action to keep
all money in banks and do business
with paper But nobody need be
alarmed at this situation. 1t portends
no failure anywhere. Just a scarcity
OF money-the real stuff. 1t is a
handicap to business in that it cur
tails the supply of ready cash. with
which most manufacturing, construct
ing and other business concerns must
be well supplied in order to meet cur
rent demands.
In the meantime everybody should
encourage the idea of public conf
dence"-confidence in the banks, in
each other and in the ultimate result.
Your money is good, wherever it is.
There is no characterization. BE con-
tent with the assurance that insofar
as your immediate needs are con-
cerned, they will in all likelihood be
met to the cent.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
BILE. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly, failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
+. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

footing. II is he who is forced to
sell his unprotected products in Flu
rope at the same price he sells them
in America with freight added, and
with the price of these products, this
European gold,he protects the country
against want and failure and saves

ed farmer who supplies all needs,
relieves public distress and brings
prosperity. Is this not true, good
people? Is this not so, Mr.. Ohio
County Farmer:

his small team, his two hands and
his few acres, is the great desider-
alum in the country's financial bal
ance, why should we go further for
universal panacea?
Financial institutions may come and
go. great moneyed enterprises may
rise, flourish and wilt, beneath the
blighting breath of public confidence
or lack of it-like mushroom, but
the humble yet great American Far
mer still holds his position as the

THE MONEY sTRINGENcY.

The Hartford Republican undertakes
to discredit The Heralds account of
the financial condition of the coun-

entirely passed.
Just before reading the above In
thu Republican, we came across the
following news item in the daily
press:
Owing TO the business de-
preston thousands of work
men have been laid off or
have had their working time
reduced in Chicago.
And then this one:
Gov. Gillette, of California,
has issued a proclamation call
ing a special session of the
Legislature to consider meas
ures in connection with the
money .stringency.
And then this, spoken by Secretary
Cortelyou last week:
| believe that IL the money
of the country, wherever
hoarded,were at once put back
to fulfill its functions in the
channels of trade, there would
be within twenty-four hours
an almost complete resumption
OF business operations.
These is akin to many news items of
like nature that are being daily chron-
icled. The Herald last week gave an
account of one of our own tOwnsmen,
a travelling salesman, who had just
returned from a tour through the
West, and he reported that he and
others of his profession, were unable
to sell any goods on account of bus
mess depression and lack OF conf
deI;ce in the financial situation on
the part of large business concerns.
The money stringency is apparent ev-
erywhere. The Herald, unlike the
did not have in mind the
big banking institutions of Wall
Street, that get speedy relief from the
and other sources that
is denied the lesser business con-
Germs of the country in times of fl
nancial distress. We spoke of the
matter as it affects the great COM
mon people. The Herald does not de-
sire nor wish to encourage g panic.
Nor do we wish TO do the banking
of this or any other sec
ton a mite of injury, by hint or inn
plication. They would suffer the least
distress of any in a panic. All of
them have plenty of money on hand.
We merely wish to chronicle the news
as it is happening, and consider that
we are not only doing our duty but
the public a favor by keeping them
posted concerning the financial and
other affairs of the country.
