The people of that State know him best, and he still has an influence with them. Mos- people will not concur with Judge Simonton in practically holding that because a man formerly r-a a bar-room the presumption ii that he (toes not order liquor for private use T11h Im III who deliberately wrecks a train si -uld be severely pinished. We know not how th'guilt of him, who deliberately place< obstructions on a railroad and causes the death of people in the faithful disebarge of their duties, differs from him, who conceals himself behind ambush and murders the innocent. In the law, he is guilty of murder for he is presumed to have intended the consequences of his act. Coxxox decency and respect for the religious sentiment of this State should have kept out of Senator Tillnau's mouth, That he "would not vote for Christ" on a gold standard. Ile may talk as much as he please; about being a plain, blunt man, but there is no excuse for such expressions. Whether he has any religion or not, be should show some deference to the religious sentiment of the peopl~e w hom he repre sents in the United States Senate. THE State Board of Control deserved a rebuke for changing the hours of opening and closing the dispensaries. The Dispensary system is a pretense to encouras~e temperance. Its .friends have claimed for it that it w..uld di minish drunksenness, and it, ;therefore, seems that the State Board should not encourage people to drink by keeping the bar-room open longer. It is amus ing, however, to note how the ad vocates of the dispensary try to advance argu ments to please everybody. To the temperance people, they say that the early closing and the selling in large quantities diminishies drinking, and to the drinking people, they say y ou can get chemically pure whiskey and the tempting cock-tail already prepared, cool beer on ice, and ini cities beer will be delivered at your door. In five years, if the dispetz:ary is still here, we shall expect it to beai nahing more than the old time bar. It is nearly that now. THE MONEY QUESTION. Mr-. Editor: Please allow me space in your columns for the publication of an article on the' financial condition of the country and the principal cause to which it may be attributed. In writ ing this article, I fear that it will not interest your many readers now amid the turmoil, strife, envy and discord that stalks unchecked throughout our State. But our present financial de pression as some think is not attribu table to State legislation. Let us take a glance at statistics, and I think we will be able to understand more fully to what tbe scarcity of money and the present low prices of farm products may be appropriately attributed. Our monetary troubies may be traced to the complete demonet.izstion of silver by the repeal of the purchasing claLse of the Sherman law. It is very evi dent to any intelligent voter that when you have two articles of any kind and de-troy the intrinsic value of one you thereby increase to one hundred per cent the demand for the other. And so it is with gold and silver; after bav ing relegated -silver to the rear, we have increasedt manifold the demand for gold, thereby increasing its pur chasing power, which tends to lower the prices of farm products. We have sat quietly and let other natitons dictate our ;i nancial policy, and when there have sat any time been a measure before Congress for tht relief ot the poor down-trodden and op pressed workmen of this country who havre so long borne these unjust iniqui ties, we hear- the great hue and cry fronm some of our leading representa tive men, "what will England say or d. if we adopt this or that measure of relief for the alleviation of our unfot tunate fellowmen ?" America needs more faith in itself on this money question. If the United States will only have the coaurage of its own strength its silver money cwtat be- depreciated nor ita siker mines closed, even at the dictati .n of comn bined Europe; and as yet Europe is far from being combined on this issue. Sh ol awa.ts a lader to throw off this English ioke. France is inter ested in silver' restoration to fill standard money rank as well as A mer ica. Oar national law-makers and 4o-called statesmen seem to have lo-t siht of the fact that this country has the natural bace for the greatest con tinuous empire ever established by man. Notwitlistainding these st upen dous and overwhelming facts in our beha:f, we allow EaIland to bluff us into the belief th'tt we mu-t take tne law c-)ncerting eni stadard munev from their lit tle republic w hich has but 40,000,000 people, and has not got a single gold or silver min- in all its length and breaIth, while the United States produces more gold and silver than all the rest of the world put together. The vaine of land of th's country exceeds that of England by S1,000, 000,000, while the number of miles of railroad in thi; country exceeds those of England by 125,000. I mention this to show what great strides of progress we have made in this country over and above England, which en titles us to the leadership among the nations of the earth. But it must be borne in mind that the greater part of this interval of unexampled pros perity in this yet undeveloped coun try took place previous to 1873, which demonstrates very clearly that in order to retain our present advanced position among o:her nations, it is very essen tial that we iacrease,- our supply of money in proportion to th legitimate demands of a rapidly inc:easing popu lation. Wall this country in and her people can live in full comfort, yes, in luxury if never a European ship touches its shores. On the other hand, if you were to shut England off frorn im ports their people would starve to death. America teeds the world, and England is fed by the world. This is but additional evidence which justifies us in assuming the role of leadership regardless of what some ot our leading men may say to the con trary. I repeat again that an increase of the velame of money is one of the most (ssential elements of permanent improvement anong all classes, and it is in the halls of national legislation thi:at the great contest for the relief of the bonest Neomanry of this country is to be conducted. And in the lan gi :ge of a well known statesman, if it is wisely, persistently and courage ously demanded by the great mass of people who have so long borne these unjust iniquities, they will eventually win some measure of legislation that wilf again put them in the path that leads to the higri road of pros parity; in that event they will have accomplished something well worthy of emulation. Mr. Editor, let us take Secretary Carlisle's report of 1894, and from that ascertain the amount of money now on hand and we can comprehend more fully the deplorable condition that confronts the American people, horri ble to behold. Never did any of the founders of civil government dream that there would ever come a time in the aistory of this republic that an intelligent, highly cultivated and en lightened people would make an effort to transact a voluminous and rapidly increasing business with a diminished amount of money. Secretary Carlisle said in August, tbat the total stock of money of all kinds in and out of the treasury was $2,240,146,271. Of that amount there was supposed to have been held by national, State and savings banks $418.000, 000, which is not in circula tion and we have left in circulation only $1,077,800,898. This does not make allowance for the comtinual de struction of silver money, the expor tation of gold, and the millions locked up in State, town and county treasu ries. Taking the secretarie's report as a correct statement, it is a fair esti mate that 'there is not more than $900, 000,000 in actual circulation. This amount divided by the total population of the United States would give us a circulating medium of $13.25 per capita-the smallest amount of money on which any country with our p->pu lation aird trade ever attempted to do business. And as 1 have said there are more people every day and a smaller amount of money to transact the business of the country. All the leading ecotnomists agree thul t) re duce the amount of legal tender money in circulation, will reduce the vale and price of all articles. In 1873 we began to reduce the amount of money in circulation. The reduction has gone steadily ever' since with the exception of a few yeers when it was checked by the Bland and Sherman silver acts. The record ot market prices shows that all farm products have gone down in ptoportion to the diminished amiottnt of money with which to buy. Statis tics show hat an acre of wheat sold for- a little over 913 in 1873. Now after twenty-onie years of dliminished circalation an acre of wheat wvii sejl for less than Sf. The averag~e acre value of all stapile crops of our farmere sold for five per cent higher prices in 1873 than they are a. Ii ig for in 1894. It has been said, and J presuime that it is correct. that if the wheat crop, the corn crop, and the cotton crop of 1894 could be sold at the same prices they brought in 1873, before the terrible contraction of the currenicy began, the farmers and planters of the United States wou'd have at leat $800,u00,000 more in their pockets than they- will have at the present prices. Let me say just here, that if the farmers of the South and West could have realized the prices that they re ceived in 1873 for-their farm products from then until die present time, they wou!d to-day be the most wealthy people in the world; aiiti there would hive been nio hordinz up of millions by private individtuals, trust, syndi cates anid monopolie s, and thereby taking from the pinr workmnen Lof this ecuntry their just eamrn'ns. It has ieen said by sonme that it. will bring into requisitioni the mnost far acaching sagacity of Americ in statesm:ttship to prop)erly solve thxis fina::cial problem.

T HIRTY years' observation of Castoria with the patronage of millions of persons, permit us to speak of it without guessing. It is unquestionably the best remedy for Infants and Children the world has ever known. It is harmless. Children like it. It gIves thom health. It will save their lives. In it Mothers have something which is absolutely safo and practically perfect as a child's medicine. Castoria destroys Worms. Castoria allays Feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd. Castoria cures Diarrhma and Wind Colie. Castoria relieves Teething Troubles Castoria cures Constipation and Flatuleney. Sastoria neutralizes the effects of carbonic acid gas or poisonous air. Castoria does not contain morphine, opium, or other narcotic property. Castorla assimilates the food, regulates the stomach and bowels, giving hedthy and natural sleep. Castoria is put up in one-size bottles only. It is not sold in bulk. Don't allow any one to sell you anything else on the plea or promise that it is "just as good " and "will answer every purpose."

How Dr. Miles' Nervine Brought One of Kentucky's Foremost Busi= -ness Men Back to Health.. O DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities, developed sO many aggravating symptoms and bafled so many physicians at LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. It is a disease of the nerves, it ses up the tissue, the vitality, the life-giving ner'.e force that feeds the brain. There is one remedy that will replace this worn-out tissue; that wvill re new this lost vitality and restore health. R~ead what Mr. D. W. Hilton, state gent of thle Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, one of the best known insurance men in the south, and whose portrait appears above, says about how Dr. Miles' Nervine Restored him to health when all else had failed. "In 1383 and '90 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, about eight months intcrvening between them, the last cne conflning me to my bed for four months and at tacking my nervous sy.stem, wiitb. r~nch severity that my ife was despai red of. I had not slept for more E-m tw.o months except by he -se of narcotics that stupefied mue. but gav'e me mr.: et. For more than ight long weeks I was only conscious of in~tense menl wekes :gomlzmng bodily pain and the fact that I was houriy grrov:ing~ wc.akr. When in this condition, it seemed like a providentUal circumstance that I earned of D~r. Miles' Restorative Nervine, for int two <iay:s after I commenc:ced 2sing. it, I began to improve and in one mor~ 's tim ' I was virtually cured, and very much to the surprise of everybody who) kner; of my condition; for one of themn believed I would ever recover. I hr;vc ibeen in excellent health since and haive recommended your remedies to many or my friends, not one f whom hts failed to tharmk me for doing so, when I have met them again. Iha the best remains to be told. Mrs. Hilton had suffered with severe ervous t rm);bNs for thirteen years and had been treated by several physi cans, who .stand high in their profession, without any perceptible improve ment. Seeing how the Nervine had so effectually cured me, she commenced sing it ar~d iz now in excellent health. We never fail to recommend it." LosvLL!. Jan. 22, 18%'.
