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,

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention: It would be presumptious
indeed to present myself
against the distinguished gentlemen
to who you have listened, if this were
but the measuring of ability, but
this is not a contest among persons, j
The humblest citizen in all the land
when called to war in a righteous
cause, is stronger than all the whole
hosts of error that they can bring. !
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

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.

said he fears a Robespierre. 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!

| 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.

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,

popular man among the Republicans,
I and everybody three months ago in
I the Republican party prophesied his

that man who used to boast that he

Why this change? Ah, my friends,
is not the change evident to any one

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.

A Woman's Waist.
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
?

Chairman Jones' View3.
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.

Crsditors Can Us3 Postal Cards.
Chicago, July 15.?The right of the
creditor to use a postal card in making
a statement of indebtedness came
up before United States Commissioner
Foote, and was upheld. The complainant
was George W. Cooley of
Kansas City, and the parties complained
of were Brown Brothers, a
New York firm. Thoma3 A. Milchist
made a strong fight in behalf of the
New Y'ork firm, and Assistant Disttrict
Attorney Rosenthal, on behalf
of the government, said he would not
insist on the Commissioner holding
the defendants for the grand jury.

All the People
Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the
blood is impure and impoverished

its power to purify and vitalize the

safeguard of health, and the record
of remarkable cures effected proves
that it has wonderful power over
disease. It actually and permanently
cures when all other preparations
fail to do any good whatever. 38
