THE NEWS AND HERALD is not com mitted to a single standard of either gold or silver, but we have been struck with Secretary of the Treasury Car lisle's great speech. It is by far the strongest presentation of the subject that we have seen anywhere, and as everybody seems to be seeking infor mation on the financial question, -we shalt give a mere outline of his argu ment. Those who may desire to read the speech in full will find it reported in full in the News and Courter of the 22nd inst., and we advise every one interested to read the full report of it. It will be found much more satisfac tory. It Is a big question, and a mere synopsis' does not do justice to Mr. Carlisle's effort. Today we shall give only a brief synopsis of his historical statement, and continue in our next with his argument. Mr. Carlisle announces in the opening that it may or may not add force to his arguments or his advice by assuring that he is not now and does not expect to be a candidate for any office within the gift of the people or their repre sentatives. He only has the same interest in the question as any other ordinary citizen. Hie refers to how passion and preju dice have had such an influence upon political and economic questions during the last two years. The great wave of depression did not begin twenty yeart ago, but less than five years ago. Its first seriou4 effects were felt in Argentina where the people and the government, notwithstanding the ex periences in all ages, determined to try the experiment of a cheap and innlated currenbcy. It failed, and had a depressing influence in all the money markets of the w .rld. If our own domestic affairs had been wisely managed, this country would have kecovered from this foreign disturb ance. We possessed all the esential 'elements of prosperity, except a sounid and reliabe financial system, and that might have been improved in a reason able time, or at least, we might have greatly improved our condition, if political or party coiderations had not influenced legislation. When Mr. Cleveland went ont of office in 1889, the free gold in the treasury amounted to $196,000,000; agzriculture, manufacture, an-I com merce were in a reasonably healthy condition, and a continuance of "fairly active business era was apparecntly as geod as it had been for mnany years. The sum of $341,4t8,449, was paid on' the public debt, and a I alance of $330,348,916,. including the gold re serve, had been left in the treasury. This va-I sum ilhad been accumulated by taxation upon the people, and they had a right to exp.et it applied to ana extinguishment of the public debt. This surplus dwindled under the Harrison administration and was rtot applied to the payment of the public debt. When Mr. Cleveland came again in to office, the cash balance in the treasury had dwindled down to $162,450,577, including the gold re serve., or $62,450,577, exclusive of the reserre; and the payment on t he p~ublic debt during Harrison's administration was $105.000,000 less than during Mr. Cleveland's administration. In ad dition to the actual receipts of the government, which were very large, Congress passed a law, by which more than $54,000,000 was raised, and thi. fund helped to swell the ilarr-son balance. The iLepublicans h d full control of the government. Their Congress is distingiuished for th ee things: First, the enactment of the law for the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion each month and the issue of legal tender treasury notes to pay for it,; secondly, the McKinley Act; thirdly, the inaugura tion of the most wasteful and extrava gant expenditures of public money that ever existed in this country, the evil effects of which wilt be felt for many years to come. The present ad ministration when it went into power found the finances of the government in a very unsatisfac ory condition. The revenues had b-en greatly di minished and the expenditurcs enor mously increased by the passage of laws requiring appropriations to be paid; the purchase of silver and the issue of legal tender notes had to con continue, and silver was being piled up in the treasury at the rate of more -than 154 tons per month. Distrust in the ability of the government to main tain the pat ity between the two metals and to pay its obligations prevailed and this distrust was increasing in all of the great financial centres of the world. In consequence of this $36, 500,000 in gold was withdrawn from the treasury, anl shipped to other countries just three months preceding the inauguration of the Cleveland ad ministration. Tbis places the responsi bility for the withdrawal of gold whero it properly belongs-on the Harrison administra ion. Thi-, how ever, belongs to the past, and Mr. Carlisle thinks it more profitable to e deal with the preseut and provide for t( the f'ure. "Whether we shall continue to pre serve our existing monetary system, 0 under which all the dollars in use, C whether they be gold, silver, or paper, possess equal purchasirg power in the markets, or provide by law for the p free unlimited coinage of silver b dollars, containing 412J grains of ti standard silver, and make them the b b unit of value in the exchanze of com modi:ies and in the payment of debts, { is the question that n->w confronts." It wou!d not be an ordinary experi mnent which could be tried tpoday and abandoned tomorro ,v. Those who ad- E vocate it, therefore, must show ni that Ruch a change of the unit of f( value will not only work no injury, but will be positively beneficial. This cannot be done by appeals to passionT and prejudice, but it must be done by appeals to common sense and reason. n The allegation, even if it were true, that a great crime was surreptitiously t committed in 1873, or at any other a time, does not prove or even con. a duce to prove that the free coinage of ' silver at the ratis of 16 to 1 would be beneficial to the country under existing .c conditions. This act of 1873, which made the gold dollar the unit of value oJ and dropped the standard silver dollar from thd c,>inage, was not passed by tI stealth, or was it intended to deprive si the people of the use of any coin then ~ in use or then in existence. It was o pending nearly three years; under el consideration during five sessions of ti Congress; distinctly recommended in y two reports of the Secretary of the - Treasury and director of the mint; printed and laid on the desks of I members of Congress thirteen times; si read in both bodies of Congress; re ported from committees seven times; and thirty-six columns of the Con- ti gressional Globe are filled with the dis- a cussion on the subject. A- first passed by the Senate in J.unary, 1871, the bill di i not provide for the coinage of any silver dollar whatever, but limited the coinage of that metal to subsidiary piec is. Upon tha call of the ayes and nays, amiorg thiose voting in the affirmnative were Senators D.svis and McCreery., of Ken tuekr, Senator Allen G. Thurman, of1 Ohio, the present Sen-itor from Nevada, William M. Stewairt, t~gether with alt the Senators from the Paci fi.a sl oe. (I0 may be mnentio);li that Wi:V&km M. Stewart is no y one of the leadwIg advocates for u:imite I fre~e coiml:ge of ilver.) Senator~ Sherm on voted in the niegative, aii grave as huis reason that the Senate had, in obediendce to the detuanlde of the Senaitors from the Pacific slop.a, so amendedl the bAil a- to abolish the cha'gs' of one-fi'ts or one is per cent for. coining g* ld, ftu mn .king f the coinage of that mectat ent irely free. The bill wvas not di-pow'd ort ott se-- e sion, but was in;te duced in th !!ion e J at the first se's-i,;n of the necxt Con gres5, and it waa ref--ca t. ~"o:nmit tee.

How Dr. Miles' Nervine Brought One of Kentucky's Foremost Busi ness Men Back to Health. tI & O DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities, developed 80 many aggravating symptoms atnd baffled so many physicians sB LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. It is a disease of the nerves, It uses up the tissue, the vitality, the life-giving nerve force that feeds the brain. There is one remedy that will replace this worn-out tissue; that will re new this lost vitality and restore health. Read what Mr. D. W. Hilton, sta agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, one of the best kno insurance men in the south, and whose portrait appears above, says about ho Dr. Miles' Nervine Restored him to health when all else had failed. "In 1889 and '90 1 had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, about eigh months intervening between them, the last one ccnfining me to my bed fo four months and attacking my nervous system, with such severity that life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except b the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. For more t eight long weeks I was only conscious of intense mental weakness, ago bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, it seemed like a providential circumstance that learned of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, for in two days after I commenced using it, I began to improve and in one month's time I was virtually cured, and very much to the surprise of everybody who knew of my condition; for none of them believed I would ever recover. I have been *n excellent health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends, not one of whom has failed to thank me for doing so, when I have met them again. - But the best remains to be told. Mrs. Hilton had suffered with severe nervous troubles for thirteen years and had been treated by several physi. cians, who stand high in their profession, without any perceptible improve - ment. Seeing how the Nervine bad so effectually cured me, she commenced using it and is now in excellent health. We never fail to recommend it." LouisvILLE, Jan. 22, 1895. D. W. Hram.
