There is a certain class of people I
advised by certain uncertain CI
kind of publications that this IJ
country is overflowing with good M
for nil that prosperity reigns su c
premely that McKinley has saved fj
the laud They assert that its due JI
wise legislation and guarantee I
that the sages are still in the sad
die hip deep The increase in in
business and the freer circulation t
money tend to make Republican it
publishers of 2x4 sheets eo hap I
py that they try to induce the M
world to accept the theory that e
the gold standard is to this land m
what a bright and shining Angel j
would be to the realms of eternal t
darkness and despair They ridi t
cule the Democratic contentions
of 96 that we needed more money
I
and at the same time rejoice be C
cause we have it If there ever 1
was a demand made by a party I i
that was correct it was the decla 1
ration made by the Democrats in j
that memorable struggle Events I
have proved it They contended
that what was necessary to revive
reviveI
business and make times prosper I
ous were more dollars On the I
other baud the theory to open the
factories was the cry Those per I
ilous days have passed the smoke I
has drifted from our path and the <
people can clearly see that the E
Democratic contentions were cor
rect The revival of business is
j
the direct result of making more
money and the making of more
dollars are not due to the Gold 1
Standard or any other act of the
Republican party but solely to
the discovery of more gold i
Senator Clay mad a long and

fairly bristled with unanswerable
reasons why the bill ought to be

year for twenty years to be dona

declared to be a scheme by which

The enormous output of the gold
mines has done for this country
exactly what the free and unlimi

done had the situation been re

gold remained as in 96 and the
coinage of silver been granted It
was the unseen the unknown de
posits of gold that searching hu
manity found that granted to the
country that boom an increased
number of dollars that his avert
ed the most powerful crash known
to the business world This dis
covery has saved the country and
the Republican sheets ought to be
fair and claim its salvation by
right of discovery and not seek to
mislead the people and to have
them worshiping McKinley

Deafness Cannot bo Cured I
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
aDd that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaiichlan Tube When this tube
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when It is I
entirely closed Deafness is the result I
and unless the inflamation can be taj
ken out and this tube restored to iwl
normal condition hearing will be destroyed
deI
stroyed forever nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh which is noth
ootbIIng
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces We will give One

About fiveyears ago I was troubled
with catarrh of the lower bowel says
C T Chisholm 484 Dearborn Ave
Chicago and although I consulted sev
eral eminent physicians who prescrib
ed for me I found their remedies fail
ed to in any way relieve me and the
trouble almost became chronic After
suffering several months lone day
concluded to try Chamberlains Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and I
geg to assure you that I was most
agreeably surprisep to find after tak
ing two doses of the remedy that I was
completely relieved of the disease that
had cost me so much trouble and an

have not suffered from it since For
