had to ride on the rear end of the

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish liofore proper ef
forts gentle efforts plea,sant efforts
rijrl.tlv directed. There is comfort ir
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness arc not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness Aithout debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is'raanufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Svrup Co, only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system "is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
mav be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
ono should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
osed asdgives mo? general satisfaction.

otiwciou it'.-ir iiiithmiH of loal
heart nre -di-i.-d by temporary
defeat, I be to ffar a word of hope
and encouruueuitnt. No ciuse ever
had ?upportei9 n:ore brave, earnest
and devoted than those who have
eppecially espoused tbe cause of bi
metal!is!!i. They have f-ught from
conviction, aud have fought with all
the zeal which couvictiori inspires.
Events will prove whether they
are right or wrong. Having done
their duty as they saw it, they have
notbipg to regret The republican
candidate ha been heralded aa the
advance agent of prosperity If hia
policies briug real prosperity to the
American people, those who opposed
him will share in that prosperity
If, however, on the other hand, his
policies prove an injury to the peo
pie generally, those of his support
ers who do not beloDg to the office
holding class, or to the privileged
class, 'will suffer in common with
those who opposed him.
The friends of bemi-tallistn have
not been vanquished: they have aim
ply been overcome. They believa
that the gold standard is a conspi
racy of the monev changers against
the welfare of the human race, aud
until convinced of their error, they
will continue the warfare against it.
The contest has been waged this
year under great embarrassments
and against great odds. For the
first time during this generation
public atlentiou has been centered
upon the money question as the par
amount issue, and this has been
done in spite of all attempts upon
the part of our opponents to pre
vent it. The republican convention
held out the delusive hope of inter
national bimetallism, while republi
can leaders labored secretly for gold
monometallism. Gold standard dera
ocrats have publicly advocated the
election of the Indianapolis ticket,
while they labored secretly for the
election of the republican ticket.
Trusts and corporations have tried
to excite a fear of lawlessness, while
they have beeu defying th- law, and
American financiers have boasted
that they were the custodians of na
tional honor, while they were eecret
ly bartering away (he cation's finan
cial independence.
But in spite of the efforts of the
administration aud its supporters;
in spite of the threats of money
lenders at home and abroad; in spite
of the coercion practiced by corpor
ations and employers; in spite of
trusts and frjudicatee; in spite of an
enormous republican campaign fund j
and in spite of the influence of a bos !
tile daily press, bimetallism has
almost triumphed iu its first great
fight. The loss cf a few states, and
that, too, by a vety small plurality,
has defeated bimetallism for the
present, but bimetallism emerges
from the content stronger than it
was four months ago. I desire to
commend the work of the three na
tional committees which have joined
in the management of this campaign
Co operation between members of
distinct political organizations is
always difficult, but it has been less
so ibis iur than usual Interest iu
a common cause of great importance
has reduced friction to a minimum.
I hereby express my personal grat
itude to the individual members as
well as the execulive officers of the
catiora! committee of the democratic
populist and silver partial for their
efficient, untirirg and unselfish la
bors. Thev have laid tbe foundation
for future success and will be re
membered as pioneers when victory
is at last secured.
No personal or political friends
need grievo because of my defeat.
My ambition has been to secure im
mediate legislation rather than to
enjoy ihe honor of office, therefore
defeat briugs to me no feeling of
personal loss. Speaking for the
wifh who shared by labors as well
as for myself, I desire to say that
we have been amply repaid for all
we have done. Touched by the de
votion of friend, our lives shall
prove our appreciation of that affec
tion, which we prize as tbe richest
reward which this campaign has
brought.
Iu the face of an enemy rejoicing
in its victory, let the roll be called
for the engagement and urge all
friends of bimetallism to renew their
allegiaoc to the cause. If we are
right, as I believe w are, we t-hall
yet triumph.
Until convinced of his error, let
eac'i advocate of bimetallism con
tinue the work. Lt all silver clubs
retain their organization, bold regu
lar meetings and circulate literature.
Our opponents have succeeded in
this campaign, aud must now put
their theories to the test. Instead
of talking mysteriously about 'sound
money' and 'an honest dollar,' they
must oo7 elaborate and defend a
financial system.
Every step taken by them should
be publicly considered by the silver
clubs. Our cause has prospered
most where the money question has
beeu most discussed among the pec
pie. During the next four years it
will be studied all over this uatior,
even more than it has been studied
in the east The year 1900 is not
far away. Before that year arrives
international bimetallism will cease
to deceive; before that year arrives
thoeejwbo have called themselves
gold standard democrats will become
bimetalliets aud be with us, or they
will become republicans and thus
open enemies; before that year ar
rives trusts will have convinced stil
more people that a trust is a menace
to private welfare and to public
safety; before that year arrives the
evils of a gold standard will be even
more evident than they are now, and
the people then ready to demand an
American financial policy for the
American people, and will join with
us in the immediate restoration o
the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the ration of 16
tc 1, without waiting for the aid or
consent of aDT other nation.

Col , Nov. G. Senator
Henry M. Teller arrived herefrom
the East today. Iu an interyiew he
said: ,?
"I don't think the Republican

ing the coming four years. The dec
iaraiion of the St. Louis platform
amounts to nothing with a limitation
put upon it Basides that the men
who dictated the St. Louis platform
are opposed to bimetallism, interna
tional or ortherwise. McKinley, it
seems to in, has shown by his
speeches that he would bs the aivo
cate and supporter cf tbe gold stand
ard on the ground thit it is a better
standard than bimetallism.
"Daring tbe four years to come I
expect to see tbe Republican party
abandon all pretense to a desir6 to
secure international bitnetaliisnVand
the contest will hereafter be made
between tbe gold standard support
era and the organized hosts cf bimet
allism. I thiua that four years from
now people will be sufficiently edu
cated to understand the danger of

that stands for bimetallism in 1900
by the United States alone will be
successful-
