TURNING GRAY AND THREATENED WITH BALDNESS The Danger is Averted by Using AYER'S^vicor "Xearly forty years ago, after some weeks of sickness, my hair turned gray and began falling out so rapidly that I was threatened with immediate baldness. Hearing Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of, I commenced using this prepara. X - tion, and was so well satisfied with the result that I have never tried any other kind of dressing. It stopped the hair from falling out, stimulated a new growth of hair, and kept the scalp free from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now needed to keep my hair of good, natural color. I never hesitate to recommend any of Aver's medicines to my friends."?Airs. II. M. Haigiit, Avoca, Neb. Ayer's Hair Vigor trkpared by r ' DR. J. C. AYER & CO., LOWELL, MASS., U. S. A.

I come to speak to you in defense of a cause as holj as the cause of liberty, the cause of humanity. (Loud applause.) TYhen this debate is concluded a motion will be made to lay upon the j table the resolution offered in com- I mendation of the admistration and j also a resolution in condemnation of ; the administration I shall object to bringing this question to a level of ! persons. The individual is but an i atom; he is born, he acts, he dies, \ but principles are eternal and this has been a contest of principle. Never before in the history of this ! country has there been witnessed j such a contest as that through which J . we have passed. Never before in the I history of American politics has a ! great issue been fought out, as this i issue has been by the voters them- j selves. GROWTH OF THE SILVER MOVEMENT. On the 4th of March, 1S95, a few i Democrats, most of them members ! of CoBgress, issued an address to j 4" the Democrats of the nation, assert- ; ing that the money question was the j paramount issue of the hour; assert- ! ing also the right of allowing the I Deafc^atic party the ^ght to con- j trol the position of the party on this j issue, concluding with the request that all believers in the free coinage of silver in the Democratic party should take charge of and c:ntrolthe policy of the Democratic paity. j Three months later, at Memphis, an j organization was pefected aDd the ! silver Democrats went forth openly and courageously proclaining their belief and declaring if successful ; they would crystaiize in a platform the declaration they had made; and then began the conflict with a zeal, approachiog that which inspired the crusaders who followed Peter the Hermit. Our silver Democrats went forth from victory unto victory until they are assembled now, not to discuss, not debate, but to enter up judgment rendered by them to the people of this country. (Applause). Ia this court brother has been arrayed against brother and father against son. The warmest ties of love and acquaintance and associa ? , ' r LA. .: tions have been disregarded. Old leaders have been cast aside when they refused to give expression to the sentiment of those whom they would lead and new leaders have spruDg up to give direction to this cause of truth. (Cheers) ALL ARE BUSINESS MEN*. The gentleman who has just preceded me (Governor Russell) spoke of the old State of Maassachusetts. Let me assure him that Dot one person in all ihic convention entertains the least hostility to the people of Massachusetts. (Applause.) But stand here r -presenting people who are the equals before the largest citizens in the State of Massachusetts. ' 1 ? > Tl-l ^ppiause.; wuen you come ueioxe as and tell us tbat we shall disturb jour business interests we reply that you have disturbed our business interest by your course. (Great applause and cheering.) We say to you that you have made too limited ifi its application the definition of business men. The man employed for wages is es much a business man as the employer. (Continued cheers.) The attorney in a country town is as much a business man as a lawyer in a great met o olis. The merchant at a cross road is as much a business roan as a merchant in New York. The farmer who goes forth in the mcrring and toils all. day, begins in the spring and toils all summer, and by the application of brain and muscle to the natural resources of this country, creates wealth, is as much a | business man as the man who goes I upon the board of trade and bets upon the price of grain. The sentiments of the speaker were cheered again and again and the galleries seemed to be a mass of white handkerchiefs waving. Cheers were renewed again and again, and it was some minutes before Mr. Bryan could be heard. He proceeded as follows: A DASH OF ELOQUENCE. Miners who go a thousand feet into the earth or climb 2,000 feet upon cliffs and bring forth from their hiding places precious metals to be poured into the channels of trade, are as much business men as the few financial magnates who iD a back room corner the money of the world. The free silver delegates at this point broke forth in tremendous cheers, standing on chairs and waving their hats and banners frantically. Order was finally restored 8nd Mr. Bryan continued: We come here to speak for this broader class of business men. Ah, my friends, we say not one word against those who live upon the Atlantic coast, but those hardy pioneers who braved all the dangers of the wilderness, who made the desert blossom as the rose?those pioneers away out there rearing their children near to nature's heart where they can mingle their voice with the voices of the birds; out there where they have erected school houses for the education of their young, and churches where they praise their Creator, and cemeteries where sleep the ashes of their dead, are as deserving of the consideration of this party as any people in this country.'. (Great applause. It is for these that we speak. We do not come as agressors. Our war is not a war of conquest. We are fighting in defence of our homes, our families and posterity. (Loud applause.) We have petitioned and our petitions have W?n scorned. We entreated, apd our entreaties have been disregarded. We have begged and they have mocked, and our calamity came. We beg no longer. We entreat no more. We petition no more. We defy them. (Great applause and confusion in the silver delegations.) The gentleman from Wisconsin has A stomach ful of undigested food is about as unhealthy a mass as one can well imagine. What can be done with it? There it stays. It won't digest. It churns up, ferments and decays; becomes poisonous (as all putrid matter does) and causes great pain and deep-seated disorders. In order to chaDge all this, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. It stops fermentation and decay at ; once, so that no more poisons are created. It clears the stomach of poisons j ' already there. It helps it to turn i the food that remains, into healthful ; nourishment. It strengthens the stomach for the next meal. Here is the whole philosophy and I cure of indigestion in a few words. And what's more, it's all true. Try it. Shaker Digestive Cordial is for | sale by druggists, price 10 cents to j $1.00 a bottle. A Minister's Wife. The Frank Statement of the Pastor c Bethel Church. From the Advertiser, Elmira, N. Y. Dr. Williams. Dear Sir:?My wii has been a sufferer from rheumatisi for more than three years, sufferiD at times with terrible pains in he limbs, and other times with a sever "crick" in her back which cause great agony. She spent much fc physicians and medicine, but se cured only temporary relief; final! she concluded to try Pink Pills. Sh has taken eight boxes and I can sa from the first one she has improve until now she is almost entirely fre from pain, and has grown muc] stronger and feels confident that, b; the blessing of God, they will effec a permanent cure. We take grea pleasure in recommending them t our friends. (Signed ) Rey. J. H BuckDer, Pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church, Elmira, New York. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contaiD in a'condensed form, all the elementi necessary to give new life and rich ness to the blood and restore shat tered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomo tor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, eciaticia, neuralgia, rheuma tism, nervous headache, the afte: eflect of la grippe, palpitation of th< heart, pale and sallow complexions all forms of weakness either in mah or female.

My friend, in this land of the free you need fear no tyrant who will spring up from, among the people. What we need is an Andrew Jackson tc stand as Jackson did against the encroachments of aggrandized wealth. (Great applause.) They tell us that this platform was made to catch votes. We reply to them that changing conditions make new issues; that the principles upon which rest Democracy are as everlasting as the hills, but that they must be applied to new conditions as they arise. Conditions have arisen, and we are attempting to meet those conditions. They tell us that the income tax ought not to be brought in here. That is a new idea. They criticise us for our criticism of the Supreme Court of the United States. My friends, we have not criticised, we have simply called attention to what you kuow. If you want cfiticisms, read the dissenting opinions of the Court. That will give you criticisms. (Applause.) They say we passed an unconstitutional law. I deny it?the income tax was not unconstitutional when it was passed. It was not unconstitutional when it went before the Supreme Court for the first time. It did not become unconstitutional until one Judge changed his mind and we cannot be expected to know when a Judge will change his mind. (Applause, and a voice, "hit 'em again.") ini>nmo fav in a innt law Tf. simply intends to put the burdens of government justly upon the backs of the people. I am in favor of an income tax. (Applause.) When I find a man who is not willing to pay his share of the burdens of the Government which protects him, I find a man who is unworthy to enjoy the blessings of a Government like ours. (Applause.) He says we are opposing the national bank currency. It is true. If you will read what Thomas Benton said, you will find that he said that in searching history he could find but one parallel to Andrew Jackson. That was Cicero, who destroyed the conspiracies of Catilline and saved Rome. He did for Rome what Jackson did when he destroyed the bank conspiracy and saved America. (Applause,; We say in our platform that we believe that the right to coin money and issue money is a function of Government. We believe it. We bplipvp that it is a nart of sovericntv. " * " ? " O * ' and can no more, with safety, be del gated to private individuals that we could afford to delegate to private individuals the power to make penal statutes or to levy laws for taxation. (Applause.) Mr. Jefferson, who was once regarded as good Democratic authority, seems to have a different opinion from the gentleman who has addressed us on the part of the minority. Those who are opposed tc this proposition tell us that the issue of paper money is the function ol the bank, and that the Government ought to go out of the banking busi ness. I stand with Jefferson, rathei than with them, and tell them, as he j -v did, that the issue of money is a function of the Government, and * that that the banks ought to get out of the government business. They complain about the plank which declares against the life tenure e I in office. They have tried to strain it to mean that which it does not ^ mean. What we oppose in that r : plank is the life tenure that is being 0 r w built up in Washington which excludes from participation in the benefits the humbler members of our society. I cannot dwell longer in ^ my limited time. (Cries of "Go on! 8 Go on!"') 5^ ~r i - -11 -ii l* l _ 1 ^ I IjQI rae can aueuiitm iu t\*u ui | three great things. The gentleman k ! from New York says that he will proj pose an amendment providing that ^ j this change in our laws shall not af^ j feet contracts already made. Let ! me remind him that there is no in0 tention of affecting those contracts, which according to the present laws, are made payable in gold. But if he means to say that we cannot change our monetary system without prc1 tecting those who have loaned money before the change was made, I want to ask him where, in laws or in morals. he cau find authority for not proT * tecting the debtors, when the act of , 1873 was passed, but now insists that we must protect the creditor! He says he also wants to amend this j law and provide that if we fail to 3 i maintain a parity within a year that ' j we will then suspend the coinage of ' ; silver. We reply that when we ad| | vocate a thiDg which we believe will | be successful we are not compelled I to raise a doubt as to our own sincerity by trying to show what we will do if we can. I ask him, if he will 3 apply his logic to us, why he does not apply it to himself? He says : that he wants this country to try to ' I secure an international agreement. Why doesn't he tell us what he is go j ing to do if they fail to secure an in| ternational agreement? There is ; more reason for him to do that than ; for us to fail to maintain the parity. | They have tried for thirty years? j for thirty years?to secure an interj national agreement, and those are 1! waiting for it most patiently who | don't want it all. (Cheering. Laughi ter, long continued.) Now, my friends, let me come to the great paramount issue. If they ask us here why it is that we tay j more on the money question than we say upon the tariff question, I reply ! that if protection has slain its | thousands, the gold standard has slain its tens of thousands. If they ask us why we did not embody all i these things in. our platform which | we believe, we reply to them that when we have restored the money of the Constitution, all other necessary reforms will be possible, and until that is done there is no reform that can be accomplished. (Cheers.) Why is it that within three months such a change has come over the sentiment of this country? Three months ago, I when it was confidently asserted that i those who believed in the gold stand| ard would frame our platform and ! nominate our candidate, even the adi vocates of the gold standard did not think we cold elect a President, but j they had good reason for the suspij cion, because there is scarcely a State here today asking for the gold standj ard that is not within the absolute control of the Republican party. (Loud cheering.) T).. i- m rti rt (Ua nliAn/VA I" ("? ?JUL> LIU 117 I/UC7 V/Uau^U* xrxi* Kinley was nominated at St. Louis upon a platform that declared for the maintenance of the gold standard until it should be changed into bimetallism by an international agree, ment.

Why, that man who used to boast that he ! looked like Napoleon?(laughter and j cheering)?that man shudders to! day when he thinks that hewasnomj inated on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Not only that, but as he listens he can hear with ever increasing distinctness the sound of the waves as they beat upon the | lonely shores of St. Helena. (Cheers.) j Why this change? Ah, my friends, is not the change evident to any one j who will look at the matter? It is no 1 private character, however pure, no ; personal popularity, however great, ^ i that can protect from the avenging wrath of an indignant people the ; man who will either declare that he 5 is in favor of fastening the gold ' standard upon this people, or who is 1 ! willing to surrender the right of self government and place the legislative ' control in the hands of foreign po5 tentates and Powers.

Wants a Free Bridge. To the Citizens of Fork Townsbip Irrespective of Race, Color or Political Opinion: There will be a mass meeting at Irmo on Friday, August 21st, campaign day, to consider the ways and rueans to make Broad River bridge free to the public, or to build a bridge independent of it. According to an Act of the Legislature,fpassed about four years ago, the city of Columbia was assessed two-thirds, and the three townships one-third. Acting under that authority, the City of Columbia employed Civil Engineer S. Reed Stoney to make a survey and estimate of a new Dndge, as tne old one is in a dilapidated and decayed condition. The result was for a combination bridge of wood and iron, $10,000; for all iron, except floor (wood) 9 feet, double track, $15,00. Taking the latter estimate, the Fork's portion would be $5,000 for the three townships. The inhabitants in Folk township in 1890 was 2,492?to the family?453 families, Broad River, 2,668; Saluda, 1,726?6,886, or 1,252 families?lets than 73 cents per inhabitant. It has been suggested to raise our quota by subscription, but some other plan probably can be adopted. We hope the people will turn out if they want the bridge free. C. Bookman, G. F. Younginer, A.

It is a matter for rejoicing that fashion is no longer to decree a slender waist as something indispensable to propriety and grace. The natural waist of the woman of average height is about twenty-eight inches, and any less size is attained only through arrested development, or compression by means of whalebone and steel. The amount of room inside these twenty-eight inches is absolutely needed for the proper working of the machinory of the internal economy. In spite of this fact girls very often bind the yielding ribs into such narrow compass that the waist measures twenty or twenty-two inches only, | and you will now and then hear some mother of a family, with a very different waist now, boast as if it were something to be proud of that when she was nineteen her waist measure j was nineteen too. It is, however, of I no use to talk to young people about | the injurious effects of compression ! on stomach, heart, lungs, liver, and j the arterial system. They are not j anatomists, and they do not compre; hend the matter nor want to do so; they observe that they feel as well j now as they did before, and without ! ; weighing the thought that it rej quires time to work ruin, take it for ! granted that they always will feel j well, although they have been told and taught that in post mortem ex- j aminations it has been found that wherever tight lacing has been the ! rule, every organ was out of place j and seriously injured. But although it does not move them a trifle to be \ \ told that red roses and eruptive skins and flat chests are too laid to the account of the two slender waist, yet on the whole neither common sense nor auld-wife wisdom nor doctors have the power of conviction that fashion does, and when fashion says that there is no beauty in a warsp's } waist, but that the lines of nobility and health made by deep breathing are the really lovely lines, fragility being something rather to be feared than loved, why then fragility begins to be avoided, and the lines of the Venus de Milo, of the Diana, of the Pallas, begin to come in ?

Washington, July 17.?Senator Jones of Arkansas, the chairman of the National Democatic Committee, returned from New York this eveniDg. He states that his Eastern visit was a private one and that he had no conference nor did he see either Mr. Kill or Mr. Whitney. Senator Jones expects to issue a call for a meeting of that body in New York city at the time the notification committee formally informs Mr. Bryan of his nomination. It is not probable that the permanent headquarters of the national committee will be selected until that time. Senator Jones prefers either Washington or Chicago for these headquarters?the former because it brings the committee in touch with the public lilraries and convenient to material which will be called into use during the campaign, and the latter city for the reason that it is in measure the centre of battle ground around which much of the contested ground will be fought. Although the formation of the executive committee is practically in the discretion of the chairman, the prospects are that its personnel will not be finally determined until the meeting of the national committee in New York.
