Complete Becovery by the Use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
" Some years ago, as a result of too
close attention to business, my health
failed. I became weak, nervous, was
unable to look after my interests,,and
manifested all the symptoms of a decline.
I took three bottles of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, becan to improve at oucef
and gradually increased my -weightfrom
one hundred and twenty-five to two
hundred pounds. Since then, I and my
family have used this medicine when
needed, and we are all in the best of
health, a fact which we attribute to
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I believe my children
would have been fatherless to-day
had it not been for Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
of which preparation I cannot say too
much."?H. O. Hnrsox, Postmaster aud

Why Wq "Want Silver.
Columbia State.
Plain talk on the situation is always
in order. For every contribution
heips to swell the cumulative
evidence against a contracted currency.
Every one has seen that in a
time of profound peace people have
become poorer. Despite the splendid
yield of our farming lands there is
scarcity of the necessaries of life.
The rich have grown richer and a
war debt has been added to the evils
?hundreds of millions of it incurred
by the present administration. An
interest bearing debt, we repeat, has
been increased and labor must bear
its share of it. It has long been asserted
by silver partisans that a few
men controlled the gold supply of
the country. All sorts of newspapers
have ridiculed and denined it.
But some newspapers unfortunately
will deny anything. The truth might
even yet be in doubt but for an unguarded
statement of J. Pierpont
Morgan before the Vest committee.
Mr. Morgan was asked why the tresury
had made arrangement with his
firm for the sale of bonds. His reply
was: "Because we were the only
* - n -.1 rt? i J 15
ones wuo couia get tue goiu. xuia :
revelation was sufficient. The advo- !
cates of a single gold standard ask
men to vote for the establishment of
a system in which gold alone shall be
the basis for the money of 75,000,000
people and which a single banker's
hand can cover. That is indeed an
obdurate individual who fails to see
where the trouble lies.
The principal objeciion to gold is
its scarcity, its volume not being sufficient
to carry on the business of
the country, which in consequence is
done more upon credit aDd is thus
liable to rude upsetting at unlooked
for times. That the volume of the
currency must be increased is admitted
by candid thinkers on both
sides. They differ as to the remedy, j
Now silver will take as good an im- I
pression as gold, has been in use
from time immemorial as money and
was until recently the money of the
entire world. It is no more subject
to panic than gold. In fact, it would
be highly edifying to compare the
thirty years before the war, when the
mints were opened to silver, with the
thirty since, when the mints were
open to gold alone. There have been
more strikes, riots and dislocations of
?11 o/vrfo ir? TkOcf fVlirtV VAflTS than
(Ill OV1 I/O lu 1>UV WM J
we had in the century preceding
them. There is food for reflection in
this for the goldlte.
The nation wants silver because of
its need for a more elastic currency;
for a currency that cannot be contracted
at the whim of a rich banker.
It need not be a matter for concern
if gold is driven out, provided the
currency that remains is sufficient to
carry on the business of the country.
We do not desire money for a few
men, but money for all men. Now
it is amusing in this connection to
hear the millionaire crying out
against the wrong that will be done
to the workingmen From all the
clatter it would be supposed that the
millionaire had sleepless nights, pacing
the floor, tearing his hair and
getting up the next morinng with
blood shot eyes?all for the poor
workingman. Mr. Pullman could
play the role to perfection, but some
thousands of Chicago workmen might
take a different view of the ma ter.
It is all nonsense anyhow, and none
will tell him sooner when it suits his
purpose than the very man who is
shriekiDg repudiation now. The lot
of the laborer is cast with the people.
If they suffer he will suffer.
When the only power that can and
will help him is owned and controlled
by money sharks it will be too late to
rectify the mistake.
But perhaps the most cogent reason
for silver is in the fact that with
an increase volume of currency we
> should be independent of the finan-"
cial tyranny of England. The State
has been at some pains to show its
readers how diametrically opposite
the two countries are. Working as
af. T>rpRpnt under a financial svstem
that is perfectly in accord with English
interests and with England's
policy, the American producer labors
under a grievous burden. Until that
is removed he cannot prosper, but is
handicapped in the race.
With these things in view, the
State has taken the first opportunity
to wage war against the selfishness
and greed that have dominated the
country and sucked up the streams
of its prosperity through a contracted
currency. We have all seen its effects.
But a few years since the en
tire cotton crop of the South lay for
a time unmarketed. Not a dollar
could be bad. Buin stared us in the
face. Such a narrow escape ought
to make us wise and cautious. The
possibility of such a thing out not to
exist. That it does exist?and that
at any time a few men in New York
can throttle the finances of the country
and precipitate disaster?is reason
enough for a speedy and radical
change. American voters will inaugurate
it in November. The hour of
deliverance is at hand.
The Discovery Saved His
Life.
%
Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beavers
ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's
New Discovery I owe my life. "Was
taken with La Grippe and tried all
the physicians for miles about, but
of no avail and was given up and
told I could not live. Having Dr.
King's New Discovery in my store I
sent for a bottle and began its use
and from the first dose began to get
better, and after using three bottles
was up and about again. It is worth
its weight in gold. We won't keep
store or house without it." Get a

Some years ago when suffering with
an uncommonly severe attact of diarrhoea,
Mr. W. B. Guinnip, of Atco,
Pa., received through the mail a sample
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cbolara and Diarrhoea Remedy. He
says: "I found it to be one of the
most effective remedies I ever used.
It gave me almost immediate relief.
It has no superior and I think no
equal. No bad effects follow the use
of this remedy. It is pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweetened.
Children like it. It never
fails. It is the most perfect remedy
ever produced for bowel complaints.''

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines (
are not necessarily the best. In fact, j
as a rule, they are no'. What is
wanted is something mild and sure,
such as Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera i
and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really 1
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is i
acknowledged everywhere to be the
most successful remedy in the world
for bowel complaints. Ask any num 1
ber of druggists for the best remedy t
they have for diarrhoea and full nine (
out of ten will recommend Chamber- i
Iain's. In speaking of this medicine, <
Mr. B. B. Buffium of Friendsville, ]
Susquehanna Co., Pa., says: "We
have used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, colic and diarrhoea and <
found it to be a most effective rem- ]

was making an argument in support
of the gold standard. "We must
wait for free coinage of gold and silver
until we can have an international
agreement," he said. Then the fat
man asked permission to offer a few ,
questions. j
"I understand you are a member i
of the church?" he inquired, "a !
preacher of the Gospel, am I right V i
"Yes, sir; you are right; I am a
preacher of the Gospel and I did 2
;ome out on the Lord's side at the
ige of 16 years. Well, what then?'*
"You thought you did right in so
joining out, didn't you, and do you
pet think so?'' persisted the fat man.
"Why, certainly; what are you
Iriving at?'' replied the ministeria
ooking gold man with asperity.
"Oh, Dothing, exceipt I wonder
vhy you did not put oft* this thing of ^
joming out on the Lord's side till by
nternational agreement all the
heathen in the world would do the
same thing?"
The crowd laughed and the gold
jug fled.
