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 Planter, Kinard's, S. C. Ayer's Sarsaparilla I RECEIVING MEDAL AT WORLD'S FAIR. AYER'S Pills Save Doctor's Bills* 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 free trial at J. E. Kaufmann's Drug Store. ? Es-unicn of Students.
