L'unnjf trie campaign 01 ihj the hue and cry of the Republica party and its monopolistic leeches was, "Kill the silver craze foreve and bury with it the revolutionary tendencies of the party which sup oorts it. lo this end mort "boodle" than was needed wa made available to carry the elec tion. But when the returns cam in the Republican party expressed considerable surprise at the show me its oDDonents had made, even then this single-standard party did not grasp the truth that the free coinage of silver was not dead and that the Democratic party was no wiped off the face of the earth There are a few Republicans who yet pretend that the silver question as laid down in the Chicago plat form amounts to nothing. Such an one is Senator Gallineer. of New Hampshire, who recently stated: I do not expect to see any cur rency legislation whatever during the present session. International bimetallism is a myth, a will o the-wisp, amusing to those who are chasing it, but utterly withoti substance. The failure ot the re cent commission was foredoomed and the sooner it goes out of exist ence the better. Silver has become a commodity, and a rather cheap one at that. It will continue to be used for the purposes of subsidiary coinage, but it is utterly idle to expect that it will ever be remone tized in this country, or dignified as a standard of value by the great nations of the world. That idea along with that of independent coinage by the United States should at once be relegated to the tomb of forgotton things. Now, this is all very well tor a bold front on Senator Gallinger's part, but the " signs of the times ' do not entirely bear out his state ment. It is quite likely there will be little or no legislation on the currency question, unless the gold standard can be so fastened upon the country that no matter what happens it cannot slip its cable and be wafted into the silver sea But can it be so fastened? We believe it it is attempted in the way proposed that it will only more surely and inevitably defeat the Republican party, not only in the election of 1898, but in 1000, and the Republican party seeing this will only bluster about the currency question during this ses sion of Congress. President McKinley advised in his recent message to gradually retire the greenbacks and Treasury notes the siphon that sucks the gold from the Treasury to sol emnly pledge in law that all bonds by the government be paid in gold, and to authorize national banks alone to issue notes and more than their security in bonds in fact, simply to perpetuate the gold standard, for it is perfectly plain that the powers given the banks would then become the "siphon" on the gold reserve instead of the present greenbacks and Treasury notes. These measures are advocated in the hope to crush silver foreve; and the Republican CqnYess is and will be timid abut making laws of them, fpj they now see thai the Chicago platform has more advocates and followers than it had in 1S96. Is party has really been strengthened by defeat, and more closely united by even the failure of the "golden" promises of the present administration. In fact everything goes to show that the skirmish this year and the battle of 1900 will be on the cur rency question and nothing else. Some few gold Democrats proba bly would like to shift the issue to the tariff, labor, or social problems, but there is no sign that the "Anarchists" want to change. They have made up their minds and those "Anarchists" number more than half the voting popula tion of the United States that tin platform as laid down at Chicago shall be tried by one administra tion at least, and only by being proven fallacious by experitnem or the utter rout of the Demo cratic party in 1900 will it be dropped. We believe that the people, not monopolies, will yet rule this countty. Governor Russell returned from Washington last week bedecked with a new white hat, but he does not state that he bought it to talk through, which is not unlikely the The vote in the Ohio Legislature on joint ballot gave Hanna 73, which elected him U. S. Senator.

Next. Of the thirty-seven great dailies in the North advocating pension reform, only nine are opposed to the Republican party. If these twenty-eight great dailies would put their spectacles over their noses instead of carrying them un top of their heads, they could see many other things in which the Republican party should mend the errors of its abuses of power. Hut, alas ! how can it help all the peo ple when it has promised to he only the few, taking for its guid ance that "to him that hath shall be given and to him that hath not shall te taken away, even that which he seemeth to have." The President virtually endorsed the financial plan of Senator Wul cott and that of Secretary Gage. As these plans are entirely differ ent, the President finds himself sitting with a leg on each side of the fence, and it hurts. It is said that Secretary Gage has offered his resignation, and the best in formed public men of Washington think that its acceptance will be the only way for the President to get a more comfortable seat on the fence. But in reality if the Presi dent doesn't quit straddling every thing that comes along in his endeavor at this early day to corral a renomination, he will be com pelled to rent a few more pairs of legs and lease several more rods of fence. Anyway, at this stage of the game it appears that the present administration with the rope it already has will get i'self well hung before the next national camnaien. Thomas Dixon on the Cuban I'olicy. Rev. Thomas Dixon, of New- York City, formerly of North Carolina, in a recent sermon said : 'The proclamation of theadminis- ration at Washington asking heln for dying Cubans to be given through Cuban corruptionists, is the climax of our contemptible and servile policy toward Cuba. Truly the reign of the huckster is with us! 'Have we a tin peddler for President or a man? A buck ster or a soldier? Why beg alms tor dying Cubans and send our navy to help Spain kill them' YV have spent two millions of dollars patrolling the coast of Florida, and hounding Cuban patriots Why not withdraw our vessels nd give the money spent thus tn relief of Cubans, instead of hound- ng them?

If the supply mouey is far below demand, the etlect is to lower prices; it above the demand, the effect is to inflate l"ices. Still this is not all that liilluences prices of products. Just now the supply of money is l'ir less than its demaud for use by the people, and prices are low anil debts are hard to pa v. It Is "Hard Times.'" Dur lawmakers have enacted two ways to limit the amount of money. First, The government had un limited coinage of cold and silver and a certain amount of paper received the stamp of legal U nder. ow, practically, the amount of jiohl to be had alone shall receive liee coinage and be the only legal tender money of final payment, 1 ne purpose being to supplement or support the gold by a certain amountofcoiuedRilveraud paper promises-to pay dollars. ry reason of this great country's progress in improved machinery m manufacturing and in trans portation, the commercial transac tions of the people have increased enormously. Their exchange busi ness has doubled up on the gold supply more than ten-fold in the last fifty years. The quantity of gold, or both gold and silver, is by no means commensurate with the increased demand for the use of money. To prove this we have only to look at the amount of silver that has been coined nearly $500,000,000 to supplement the use of gold, not with the old understanding and law that made silver equal with gold as primary mouey at a ratio of 10 to 1, but only as a "helper." The promises-to pay paper money amounts to about $700,000,000 sup plenentary to gold. " So that gold money must be supplemented by twice its value in promises-to-pay Hiouey to meet the demand of the people for the use of money. Why this supplementary prop ping and bolstering up of gold to make it do ten times the amount it is able to do? it has not been set on foot by industrial people to satisfy their wants, but it is a scheme adroitly established mainly hv bankers and those who rent out money. Uemember we had good times with gold, silver and paper all as legal tender. But the bankers and mouey loaners were not getting rich fast enough. Everybody knows that the pressure to establish the gold standard through the ballot box was from capitalists, bankers and other usurers. Does their pol icy give us "easy times" or "Hard Tunes!" It is to the interest of the credit class, bondholders, etc., to have money scarce and dear, so they will get more of the products of labor for it. It is to the interest of the borrowing and working class to have money plenty and its ren tal low, so that they will get a better price for industrial products and labor. To reverse the present order ot things it will be necessary to repeal tha-iiarfc of the money law which tujkes the money stamp on silver and paper of any less legal tender ralue than the same money stamp has on gold and increase the money ishiie of all three to an amount commensurate with the commercial demand of the people for the trans action of their business. The financial law now in force is favorable to nsnry. The people should abolish that law and enact one favorable to industry. Mrca, N. C. Sam'l Archer.

" Paint's Celery Compound Fills the Arteries. Multiplies Number of Vital Red Corpuscles. There arc degrees of slerpless ness from the wide-awake state to the sleep, which does not refresh and has in it only the mockery of rest. Such sleep is not tired nature's sweet restorer. Dreams havt power to torture and to depress cileep, therefore, is not always res:, but trouble, and a troubled sleep brings to the brain-worker loss of power for thought and labor. It is a well-known fact that for any part to perform actively its duties, it must have an abunoanc of blood; but when the power o' locally regulating the supply o! blood in the brain is impaired because of insufficient nerve powei the tired brain grind the sam? old grist over and over till nervous prostration, paralysis or hysteria ensues The cause of sleeplessness is so clear that the cure is equal!) apparent. The nerves must re cover their grip. The health wrecking laxity of the blood ves sels must be corrected. The answer to how this is to be done is: Feed the exhausted nerve tissues with Paine's celery compound. By thus acting on the nerves Paine's celery compound is able to regulate the blood supply and per manently banish sleeplessness that shortens so many lives, espe cially among those beyond middle age. In addition to this indirect control over the circulation, Paine's celery compound directly increases the amount of bloo 1 in the arteries and arouses the purifiying organs to drive out impurities that often lurk in it undeveloped for years till age or a "run-down" condition allow them to get the upper hand. A pale, languid woman is not more of a lady than a rosy, robust one. Women leading lives of imper fect health, with pains and aches running riot through their "run down" bodies, are often ignorant of the fact that it is not a specific for nervousness or rheumatism or stompch trouble that they need, but fundamental building up of every tissue of their bodies and a thorough cleansing of their blood. The strengthening of the constitu tion and the eradication of latent disease that Paine's celery com pound achieves leaves no fear of that treacherous partial recovery that keeps one always afraid of relapse and sudden break down. Paine's celery compound rests on the wise modern conclusion of the best medical thought that the remedy that invigorates the entire system and purifies it, is the only safe cure for such localized diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleep lessness, eczema, headaches and blood diseases. It is a common harmful idea that health keeps pace with strength. People seem to think that one can determine the health of persons by measuring their arms. Health means absence of pain and the presence of more cr less nerve intensity and enjoyment in the mere fact of living. All this implies abundantly nourished organs and blood un hampered by diseased humors. Paine's celery compound is espe cially valuable for recruiting the strength and spent energies of men and women advanced in year?. It is the one preparation con sidered worthy the name of a true nerve food and blood remedy by physicians throughout the country. It is prescribed by them in every state in the Union to tone up the system, regulate the nerves and restore health and strength. A Sore Thing for You.

The agitation against pension frauds is spreading all over the country, and there is a strong and growing demjnd for the publica tion of the pension list, so that all men may know who receives pen sions and why. But the McKinley administration is not in favor of turning the light on the affairs of the pension office. Secretary Bliss has issued an order stating that the lists are private, and forbidding the inspection of them. This caps the climax. The secretary decides that the people shall not know to whom their money is paid or why it is paid. It is a notorious f?ct that the pension bureau aas usfd in the mcst unsrcupulous manner to further the election of Mark Hanna to the Senate from Ohio. The McKinley administration fears t turn on the light. It sees danger in the indignation of the people. Beauty Is Kloml li-p Clean blood means a clean skin. No beauty without it.

The bladder was created 'for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The 6ecoud way is from careless local treatment of other dis eases. CIIIKF CAISI . Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder trou bles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weak ness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by misUke, attributed to fe male weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates kidney or bladder trou ble.
