Y., writes: "For 28 years, I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia and a weak stomach. Tho lightest food producod uisiross, causing severo pain and tho formation of gas. No matter how careful of my diet I suffered agonizing pain after eating. I was treated by many physicians and tried numerous remedies without permanent help. Two years ago I began taking Dr. Milos' Nervo and Liver l'ills and Nervine. Within a week I commenced improving, and persisting in tho treatment I was soon ablo to cat what I liked, with no evil ciTccts I keep them at hand and a single dose dispels any old symptoms."

THE BIG WHEAT BOOM, A tJUEAT OK.I ECT LESSON EOR TIIE PEOPLE. ^ mi. i??. ... ... mi* liicuomcnai Uiain Failure Abroad and tin* Kiiormous Crops at Home Tell the Story? Hut the Grain Gamblers are Hotting High in the i*its, and the Slave Newspapers are Deceiving the People. From thi* Midland Journal. The present American wheat boom is the greatest object lesson the people have ever had, if intelligently studied, both as to the inlluenee money in circulation has on business and the rascally use the plutocrat papers are en ' deavoring to make of it. The j scant crops of wheat in the old. countries last year and almost | failure of tlio crop in the same | countries ties year have caused a % very great demand in European 1 grain importing countries. This phenomenal grain failure, in those countries has been greatly emphasized by the large crop in ^ the I'nited States. These conditions have thrown an extraorordinary demand for wheat on one country with a very lai ;e crop,estimated to reach r?50 to 5S0 million bushels. This large crop of wheat and the great demand tor the grain have unlocked the congested money hoards ot Wall! Rtreet and European nations short of breads stulls. This heretofore idle money has been set llowing to the Western States to pay for grain which the farmers have in their stacks and granaries. The sorely long pressed farmers want almost overythsiug l?ut J their wheat, winch is gladly ex-: changed for money, and the money immediately exchanged for manufactured stulfof many kinds, largely clothing. This has caused the merchants who supply such J things to seek the factories and wholesale dealers,who are mostly' located in the older eastern parts of the country. This will soon Ining the monov hack to eastern centers, where it started from,and f if tho same causes do not arise to produce a similar result next year things must settle hack to whore they were. A phenomenal scarcity of food products in the old world and abundant supply in the I'nited States can scarcely occur two years in succession. In the mean time the business movement the farmer's grain has started in affecting everything else and to force things to the utmost the great boom inllaters, the daily papers, are publishing page after page of exaggerated accounts of the business movement,predicting that it will last five, six or an indefinite number of years. They have no solid reasons to give for such predictions and very complacently attempt none. The red hot Republican papers make a feeble attempt to credit the Dingley tariff and McKinley "confi deuce" with a large share of the "permanent, good times," but the people generally give the whole credit to wheat. Occasionally a man is found so besotted with par tv that he is willing to give the credit to McKinlev and tarilV, but to the credit ot the good sense of the farmers such cases are very | rare. In the meantime the stock mar; ket gamblers, known as "bears'' j and "bulls'' are fairly raising Cain among themselves betting j on the wheat rise. The papers give but a faint idea of the bed lam which the "grain pits" (ex ! changes) present, where the gam j biers shout, an the top of their voices, light, puli ami haul, tear each others clothes, and carry on like lunatics. This is what the simple rural denizens read of every morning in the city daily as "business." Millions of bushels of wheat, are bought and sold daily in those "pits." The grain is not bought m any sense more than the horses on a race course are bought by the men who buy "pools." The gamblers put up a stake with.a broker called in street parlance a "margin," and order the broker to purchase, say iv,ouu ousneis 01 wheat to be doliveretl in September, December, <?r at any time in tiie future they may agreo upon, (ireat money syndicates are formed for this kind of betting and they buy and sell millions of wind wheat in a single day. When the day for delivery of the wheat rolls round, if the parties haven't settled before that time, there is no wheat delivered. The price of the wheat is set down when the supposed sale was made and the price when the time arrives to deliver the wheat,and t lie di Here nee in price of tho wheat at the time for delivery is the amount of the stake,' called tho margin, which is in thoj broker's or "book maker's" hands. We will suppose that wheat is selling tor $1.00 a bushel and a syndicate buys 1,000,000 to be delivered in Septenuler. When the day for delivery rolls round wheat is quoted in the "pit" at $1.00, that i? a rise of six cents a bushel on one million bushels,amounting in the aggregate to $00,000.

And this is miscalled Ubusi ness" and "speculation," and upheld and defended by the press and millionare class. Can our readers detect any difference be tween this and the Klkton race track gambling except in the magnit line of the bets? This "business" constitutes a large part of the prosperity and trade movement which the papers are shouting over and urging factories and other lines of busi ness to take heart and just have confidence and everything will prosper, and the moment urn is moving a great many lines of business, lint these papers are deceiving the people. When the wheat crop exhausts its force things must drop back as they have been for years. Thousands of coal miners arc striking to prevent starvation. Millions of idle people of both sexes are searching for work1 and can find none. Our financial system remaining as it is and has been business conditions must, return to the dead level they were in before the farmer's wheat started this temporary activity. The slave newspapers are deceiving the people, feeding them on false hopes. A llorSKifuLh It KM KDY. And it never fails to cure Rheumatism, Catarrh, Pimples.
