Currency Lac Nest

Senator Aldrich framed his infamous tariff
bill upon the simple principle of allowing
the Interests to, come into his Committee
room, and tell him privately what they want
ed, in the way of monopoly breeding rates.
He is now in New York, holding meeting
of his ''Currency reform" Committee, behind
closed doors. Entrance to the plotting can
be secured by none but the big fnanciers
manufacturing trusts did,-telling Aldrich in
private what they want.
They will get it, of course. And among the
things which they very much desire, is the
retirement of the Greenbacks
Want for the report of Aldrich's committee,
and you will see.

Sam Emery,S Letter

On the pages which carry Letters from
the People,, our readers will find commu-
nication from citizen of Georgia, living
near the beautiful little city of LAGRANGE.
We have some splendid schools and colleges
in that progressive town, and if had been
asked where has Christian civilization won
complete ascendancy, I would have named
LAGRANGE as one of the localities.
Yet 1 am not the least surprised to learn
the facts stated in Sam Emory's letter Per
haps there is not single county in the
Southern States where similar sad cases can
not be found.

There is no such thing as a Lumber
Trust" said some of the JEFFERsoNIANs cor
respondents at the time this paper was jab-
bing the Congressman who voted against free
lumber.
But [ see by the papers that the Attorney
General of Mississippi, j. B. Stirling, has
brought suit against a combine of seventy
two lumber companies for violation of the
antitrust law. He demands penalties of
$14,184,000.
Possibly some of these very law breakers
mstigated the denials of the existence of a
lumber trust.

Death of Prisoners

Death of Prisoners
&c. N. D--The report made by the War Department
to the Fortieth Congress shows that about $4,000
Union soldiers catured by the COnfederates that
half of them paroled and half confined in prison;
of this number $4,000 died in captivity. The Union
armies the other hand, captured 100000 Confed-
erates of these 900 retained prisoners and
10000 died. While the percentage of mortality in
Northern prisons ID in the hundred, that in Rebel
prisons 49,"
Without intending to fire on Fort Sumpter
again, or to disturb the equanimity of those
who have made saint out of the bare-brained
and murderous fanatic j. Brown, we beg to
say that the man who wrote the above state
ment ought to be drenched on broken doses of
truth and common honesty.
Secretary of War Stanton was about the
last man of those that upheld the Union
cause, who could be suspected of willful and
deliberate favoritism to the South. He hated
us with a concentration of gall and worm
wood that was enough to completely satisfy
even the Shermans, John and Tecumseh. [
couldn't put it any stronger than that, unless
[ splice on the names of Thad Stevens and
Wendell Phillips.
Mr.. Stanton made his official report on this
matter July 10, 1866. His figures were used
by Alexander Fl. Stephens in his "Constitu-
tional View of the War Between the States"
They were used, also, by Hen Hill in his
famous debate with Blaine,-and Mr.. Blaine
did not dispute them.
Only two years ago, Corporal Tanner,
Commander-in Chief of the G. A. R., admit
ted the correctness Of the statistics which
proved that the greater percentage of NOR
tality was in the Northern prisons. In fact,
no historian claims to the contrary. And [
don't believe that any official report to the
contrary made to the 10th Congress, or
any other.
In the Southern "hell-holes", 22,576 prison
ers died. in the Northern pleasure resorts,
where Rebel captives luxuriated in too licen-
tious a manner, 26,436 perished,- probably
from over-eating, and surfeiting on fresh air.
Some of them, perhaps, neglected to put on
their wooden underwear in freezing weather,
and of malice aforethought frolcked around
barefooted.
The number of Johnnies that our brothers
on the other side had to feed and physic was
100000. The Confederates, on the other hand,
captured 100000 of the boys in Blue. With
Sheridan and Sherman and Custer and Hun
ter burnings barns, Strengthening or driving
away the cattle, and destroying provisions Of
every kind, it was mighty hard job to feed
those poor fellows
The Confederate authorities tried to ex-
change these prisoners but the other side re-
fused.
Medicines were made contraband of war;
for the first and last time in all the horrible
history of warfare.

Ne Should Think So; Also We

Bulletin number one', issued by Bro A.
5. Lloyd d. D., of Fifth Avenue, New York,
has been duly received.
Bro. Lloyd, D. D., supplies us the infor-
nation that:
"For 5000 a missionary bishop can be supported and
his expenses paid for day."
WE'LL we haven't said anything to the con-
trary, and we don't want to have any fuss
about it.
Bro. Lloyd, d. D., further states:
For $4,000, great educational institution such as
st. Johns University, Shanghai can be kept open
for q day."
So can the great educational institutions of
Miss Emma Perry, Miss Martha Berry and
the self-help school at Waleska, Georgia
Why export the $50 per day to Shanghai?
Continuing, Bro. Lloyd, D. D., says:
For $500 day mission hospital, such as St,
James Anking, may be kept open caring for SO or so
patients in its wards and for 100 in it's dis
pensary"
What! Haven't they been trying to make
us believe that these hospitals and dispen-
sarles IN heathendom are self-sustaining?
Bro. Lloyd, D. d., lives on Fifth Avenue.
New York. Over on Sixth Avenue, New
York, he will find thousands of men, women
and children who are sunk in deeper destitu-
ton, Ignorance, immortality and irreligion
than the heather of Shanghai or Anking
And over in Philadelphia, not far from
New York, there RACES, right moD, an cpl
demic of suicide among the poor, who can't
get work and whom want has driven to des-
peration.
Why not give your life and your charity
brokerage to those nearest you, Bro. Lloyd,

find as much Good Samaritan work as you

Of the Ilwaco Railroad, on the Wash

and STAYED in her port guard and
smashed her housing in great fash
ion, doing damage that viii foot up
into hundreds of dollars. The cur
rent caught her as she swung in on

mendous force against the piling OF
the dock. Luckily no one was in
iured. and her people we're at once

THE MOTHERS PROBLEM


A serious problem which presents H..
self to every mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The cxlgencios Of school
life, the hurry and routine Of everyday
duties, the artificial environment or
modern civilization, make II mors
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in tho history Of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they Will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present SER
ious problem.
Howmany mothers there are who arc
worrying about their daughters. Ner.
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shah sk"
solve her problem2 To whom shah sho
turn for help? Each case is more or
less a study by itself, and cannot bo
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved tho
problem. Mrs. schopfer, 1920 Prescott
Ave-, ST. Louis, Mo-, In letter 20 DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years OF aga, was a puny, sickly,
alling child since she was born. was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and well."
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
r. F. D. 8, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: "Our little eight-year-old girl
had bad cough, and was in n general
rundown condition" She had several
doctors, who could give the childno re.
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle Of Peruna
and commenced giving II to the child,
and it proved to be just what shc
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she Is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were; "You havo
done great deal for her. She is tho
only girl we have, and it meant lots 10
us TO have her cured" ....
These are samples of many letters
which DR.. Hartman is receiving, com-
ing straight from the hearts OF loving
mothers. While the different schools
Of medicine are pickering and differing
as 10 theories and remedies, Peruna
goes rightsteadily on giving permanent
relief. After oil, IT is cures that the
people want. Theories are Of little
