COME HDM8, GENTLEMEN, COME HOME f
Toe Labors of tbe Bimetallic Commission Are
Fiaished.-Come Himc.
To the American bimetallic com
mission: Come home!
Your work is done, your labors
are ovr. Yoa hive accomplished
all that it was possible to accom
plish. You have, in fact, won a
great victory for truth and honesty.
Rest upon your laurels now ; and
come home ! ,
; You have done more for the cause
of bimetallism than any other agen
cy has ever done abroad. You have
done more in that direction than
any monetary conference has ever
been able to do. Therefore, come
home!
You have done what the whole
Democratic press and Democratic
party have been unable to do you
have demonstrate! the fact that
the cry of international bimetallism
was a piece of folly at the beginning
and a fraud at the ending a bait
concocted to deceive the honvst
voters of the United States and to
lure them further and further into
the toils of gold monometallism In
accomplishing this you have' -won a
victory for truth and honesty, and
you have also won a, groat political
victory. The people of the United
btates without regard to parties
we mean the honest voters, who
care for nothing but the truth---are
under great obligations to you.
Come home - and receive their
thanks!
Whenever the people of this coun
try have grown restive under the
crushing effects of the single gold
standard and manifested a disposi
tion to throw off the shackles of
hardship and poverty thus imposed
upon them, they have been told to
wait to wail for international co-
oxeration. The very men who had ,
been most active in promoting the
gold standard by the demonetization
of silver announced themselves as
bimetallists. Prior to 1S93 there
was not a public man nor a leading
newspaper in this country that dared
to make an argument in behalf of
the single gold standard.
the gold men said to the people,
'only what you propose to do by
Congressional action we desire to do
by means of an international agree
ment. Let us try that Avay nrst,
and then it will be time enough to
talk about independent free coin
age." Well, for quite twenty years
the bait of international bimetallism
has been held out to the voters of
the United States, and these voters,
being naturally conservative and
cautious, have tacitly consented to
postpone all relief from their hard
ships until all efforts to secure in
ternational bimetallism were tried.
On the other hand, the gold men
who have charge of the Kexubliean
party, the gold syndicate which
contributed a campaign fund of
$2,000,000 ltst year, were so thor
oughly cenvinced that the people
are opposed to the single gold stan
dard that they protested through
their agent, Mr. Hanna, against the
use of the word "gold" in the Re
publican platform, and. in order "to
gain votes that would otherwise b?
driven from them, the Republican
lejiders pledged their party to pro
mote international bimetallism by
all means in their power.
The result was that among the
earliest acts of Mr. McKinley's ad
ministration was the appointment
of a bimetallic commission to visit
the various capitals of Europe and
endeavcr to l-riag about an interna
tional agreement to re-open the
mints to silver. In their labors the
American commissioners were to
have the active and diligent aid of
all American officials abroad, am
bassadors, ministers and others. In
their efforts they were joined by the
government of France, and together
the representatives of the two gov
ernments laid the cise of interna
tional bimetallism before Germany
and England. Germany was con
tent to follow the lead of England
in the matter, and so it was in the
power of the British government to
promote or to reject international
bimetallism.
Many people who do not under
stand the situation will 110 doubt be
surprised that England refused to
play the small part assigned her.
The British government was not
asked to abandon the gold standard
on its own account, but merely to
re-open the mints of india to free
coinage and to consent for the Bank
of England to keep a silver reserve
up to the legal limit the latter being
a mere question of detail, it was
supposed eren by some well in
formed persons, that England, con
sidering the deplorable state of
affairs of the Indian empire, would
accede to these xroposals. As a
matter of fact, h jwever, the English
cab' net is no; the governing power
in England in - nutters financial.
That xxwer is exercised by the
money 'barons in the "city" the
area being not more than a mile
square. Quite recently the city
rose up in its might and gave the
cabinet to understand that the xro
posals laid before it were intolera
ble and not to be considered.
. Why did these money barons of
the "city" of London protest so ve
hemently against the re-oxjening of
the Indian mints as an aid to inter
national bimetallism ? Simply be
cause international bimetallism
would cheapen gold, and this would
injure the selfish interests of Eng
land in two ways.- In the first
place, it would cheapen the dollar
in which the rest of the world pays
its debts to Great Britain, and in the
second place, it would raise the
prices of the products that England
is compelled to buy cotton and
other staple products. Now the
very thing that the money power
of London the eity has been try
ing to do for a quarter of a century,
and with a success absolutely won
derful, considering the ruin it has
wrought in other countries, is to
make the dollar dearer and dearer,
so that the dollars owing to them
may ' be ; more valuable and
s o t h a t t h e com -modi
ties which "England is com
pelled to buy may be cheaper. Gold
monometallism is just as certainly
to the interest of the money lenders
of Great Britain as -bimetallism is
to the interest of the people of the

United States. Those who desire
to criticise the policy of Great Brit
ain as selfish and narrow are-wel
come to do so. Each nation has its
own interest?," and if its rulers do
not look after them they are the
author of their own troubles.
Wo ay again gentlemen of the
A mericau ; bimetallic commission,
come home!- You have done your
duty neatly and far more completely
than we had anticipated. You have
shown that international- bimetal
lism, in its conceiJtion and purpos3,
is a mere iolitical bait thrown oat
; by the Republican party to catch
gudgeons. Having made this ex
posure, come home to your friends
and prepare to take part in the
campaign that are ahead of us
camxaigns in which the financial
issue will be so definite and clear
cut that the Republican xarty and
those who control it will have no
opportunity to evade it.
By demonstrating the futility of
the mission on which you were sent,
you have given the xeople of the
United States the long desired op
portunity of settling this great
question unmixed with other issues.
iiy laying bare the hypocrisy of the
vhole scheme, you lave driven the
Republican party to the alternative
so clearly expressed in its platform,
rhat party - has xledged itself to
maintain the gold standard until
international bimetallism takes its
place. As you have demonstrated
that the plea of international bi
metallism is a fraud," and that an
international agreement is an im
possibility, you have accomplished
a work wholly out Of proiortion in
its importance to that which you
were apixinted to perform. The
peoi)le of this country, without re
gard to party, owe you a debt of
gratitude.
As the result of your earnest and
active negotiations, you have com
pelled the Reiublicaus in all parts
of the country to advocate the gold
standard or stand discredited before
the country. Henceforward the
jjeople of the United States will
know how to make their choice.
Nothing but a wheat famine in other
parts of the world and good crops
at home have xrevented the farmers
of the West from raising their
wheat at a loss. And there has
been no such providential interfer
ence in the case of the farmers of
the South. They are now selling
their cotton at but little more than
five cents a pound.
If, under all the circumstances,
the xeple the' .United ' States
want the gold standard, dear m n ?y
and poverty xrice3, we-want- them
to have it : but we want them to
vote for it with their eyes open. If,
on the other hand, they want high r
prices, cheaper money and the
Xrosperity that follows such mani
festations, we want them to vote
with the Democratic '-party and for
the indexendent free coinage of
silver.
Even the gold men have inadver
tently admittad that tha deprecia
tion of the dollar, as CJtnparel with
commodities, will bring prosperity.
Unwittingly they hailed the advent
of the "50-cent dollar" with respect
to wheat as a blessing. To that
extent they have admitted the
truth of the Democratic contention
a truth which the whole ptv pie
will recognize when th? gold stan
dard presents itself for their in
dorsement at the ; polls. Atlanta,

When a young woman sits down and
ponders over her future life, there is one
all-important subject which she should not
forget. In a day dream she may build
castles in the air With a happy home, laugh
ing children and a loving husband in the
fore-ground. At that moment she may be
facing death.' Matrimony and motherhood
hold out no happiness to the young woman
who suffers from weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. The wo
man who suffers in this way will be a weak,
nervous, sickly, petulant wife, an incapable
mother and an unamiable hostess. Not
knowing the truth, her acquaintances will
not understand that she is deserving of
pity rather than reproach. . ? -
Any woman may be strong and healthy
in a womanly way if she will use the right .
remedy. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the best of all medicines for weak and
ailing women. It acts directly on the de
licate and important organs that make wife
hood and motherhood possible. It makes
them strong, healthy and vigorous. It
banishes the dangers that surround ma
ternity. It insures a healthy baby and an
ample supply of nourishment. Thousands
of women who were weak, sickly, nervous
invalids, are now healthy, robust wives and
competent mothers of healthy children, as
the result of the use of this medicine.
Mrs. John "M. Conklin. of Patterson, Putnam'
Co., N. V.v (Box 104). writes: " I am enjoying
perfect health and have been since I took the last
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, t
had falling of the internal organa. or female

your medicine." -v '

THE PENH E vTIARY BOArj).
Declares Dr. Klrby Smith GuHty-J. R. Sm!'.
' SuperiateBdeat Onlj Is Name.
The penitentiary directors Thurs
day unanimously decided that Dr.
Kirby Smith, son of the superin
tendent, had been guilty of the
grossest immortality with two of
the female criminal insane; that the
charges against him were fully
proved, ' and Dr. George L. Kirby
and Superintendent Smith were
commended for promptly discharg
ing him as supervisor.
The board also decided to place
thepenitentiary absolutely in charge
of the executive committee, com
posed of DirectoisChadbourn, Mar
tin and Cotten, thus taking control
entirely out of Superintendent
Smith's hands. Smith made no
protest, but submitted to all. He is
now only nominally the superin
tendent. His submission is all that
saved him, as but for this he would
have been deposed. All the officials
and employees who have their fam
ilies in the ienitentiary are ordered
to move them immediately. No
bills are to be paid unless approved
by Chairman Dock ery and two ex
ecutive committeemen. There will
be a complete overhauling, and all
surplus employes will be dropped.
It was decided that the peniten
tiary should not be leased as the
general sentiment in the State is
strongly against leasing.
Chairman Dock ery says an excel
lent showing was made by Suerin-
tendent Smith as to farming opera
tions and tt at after paying the
debts there will be t25,00O surplus.

and that there will be also plenty of

A proposal from a Petersburg
firm for convicts to make shirts in
the penitentiary was referred .to a

It was decided that all incompe
tent emjlDyes should be dropped
and the penitentiary not made a
refuge for office-seekers.

The use of the surgeon's knife is becoming-
so general, reaultinjr fatally
in aach a large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm.
Mr. William Walpole, of Waiahtown,
South Dakota, writes; "About
three years ago, there came under
my left eye a little blotch about tbe
size 01 a smaii pea.
It grew rapidly.and
shooting pains ran
In every direction.
I became alarmed
and consulted a
good doctor, who
pronounced it can-
vcer, ana sua mat it
'must be cut out.
This I would not
consent to, having
little faith in the
discriminate use of the knife. Read
ing of tbe many cures made by S. 3.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This after awhila
ceased, leaving a small scab, which
finally dropped off, and only a healthy
little scar remained to mark the plac
where the destroy er had held full sway.
