Millions of bottles of Foley's Honey

than beneficial results from it's use for
coughs, colds and lung trouble. This is
because the genuine Foleys Honey and
Tar in the yellow package contains no
opiates or other harmful drugs. Guard
your health by refusing any but the
the genuine.-W G.. Atwell

As a prophet William Jennings Bry-

nave brought unlimited disaster to the
country Ii they had ever been realized.
But they lever came to pass. The har-
rowing pictures which he painted were
merely Pigments of his imagination,
based on absolutely no foundation
whatever.
1t is well to have Americans remem-
her that prophecies uttered by the ora
tor of the Platte must be discounted
fully 100 per cent, for all signs indi-
cate that he feels the fates once more
and is about to begin prOphesying
again. A male Cassandra, Mr.. Bryan
might by this time have learned that
the forecast of evil will never be be-
lieved by those who have found that
in the past his Vaccinations have been
but empty air.

Driving Country to Ruin


member of the House of Representa-

that protection was driving the colln-
try headlong to rack and ruin, and in
his speech delivered March 16 of that
year he drew the following agonizing
pictures
protection has been our cannibal
tree, and ais one after another OF our
farmers has been driven by the force
Of circumstances upon that tree and
has been crushed within its folds his
companions have stood around and

"Murderous Gold Standard.

But during the four years succeeding
that speech Mr.. Bryans agitation grew
no less nor did the demon which he
had raised in his own imagination hide
with diminished head, for in 1896 he
again saw restitution threatening the
country. He had a remedy for it,
panacea, a fetch which he held up for
worship free silver. Here are some
OF the things Mr.. Bryan said would
happen if the gold standard were con-.
tinued:
81 reply that If protection has slain
its thousands the gold standard has
slain its tens of thousands. From
speech at Democratic National Conven-
tion, July, 1896.
do not let the Republicans beguile
yo,; about the future. The future is
written in blood crushed out of you by
gold. From speech at Erie, Pa, Au-
gust, 1896.
"Ah, my friends, there is another
reason why people have gone into the
cities and left the farms. 1t is be-
cause your legislation has been caus-
ing the foreclosure of mortgages upon
the farms. : Mark MY words
If the gold St .ldard goes on and PEG
pie continue to complain, the gold stan
dard advocates instead of trying to inn
prove the condition of the people will

ize how much they are suffering. -
From speech at Monmouth, Ill.,, Octo-
Der. 1896.
But whom has the gold standard
slain? What future did it write in
blood? What district schools did it
close: Again the condition of the
country makes calm reply continuing
the impassioned orator.
Campaigning again in 1900 Mr.. Bry-
an decided that imperialism was an
other danger to the country. If it were
continued the Fourth of July would be
forgotten by all Americans and the
spirit of rs" would become thing
of the past. Speaking at Lincoln, Mr..
Bryan said

and so on, until his interlocutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names of common objects
often failed him completely. On one
occasion, when he wanted an umbrel-

| can tell its history. Strangers take

This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
