They would tur: the pages of a magazine by the hour, and, hold- ing the book upside down, ask questi about the pictures.

This love was manifested by a little ditty that they sang quite often: Un-bis-e-ker Uh-pem-e-kem.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of siekness are 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 ig why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debiliteting the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its benc- ficial effeets, to note when you pur- ehase, that you have the genuine arti- ele, which is manuiactw by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable drugzists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afficted with any actual disease, one mzy be commended to the most skil]ful ysicians, but if in need of a laxative, one shouid have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrnp of Figsstands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

His pose was that of beatific indolence. Hello, Scraggs frequ drink He lunged forward frcm the chair and stopped with a violent jerk. An expression of dismay came over his face.

BRYAN’S SPEECH (Continued from Tenth Page.) throughout the world to 32 to 1, the change might be effected in any one of three ways —the silver dollar could be doubled !n s:ze, so that the new silver dollar woul) weigh thirty-two times as much as the present gold dollar, or the present gold dollar eculd be reduced one-half in wetght, so that the present silver dollar would weigh thirty- two times as much as the new gold dollar, or the change could be made by Increasing the size of the silver dollar and decreasing the size of the gold dollar until the new sliver dollar would weigh thirty-two times as much as the new gold dollar. Lonsen by a Change of Ratio. “Those who have advised a change in the ratio have usually suggested that the liver dollar be’ doubled. If this change were made it would necessitate the recoin- age of four billions of silver into two bil- Hons of dollars. There would be an im- mediate loss of two billions of dollars elther to individuals or to the government, but this would be the least of the injury. A shrinkage of one-half in the silver money of the world would mean a shrinkage of one-fourth in the total volume of metallic money. This contraction, by increasing the value of the dollar, would virtually in- crease the debts of the world billions of dollars and decrease still more the value of property of the world as measured by dol- lars. Besides this tmmediate result, such a change in the ratio would permanently decrease the annual addition to the world’s supply of money because the annual silver product, when coined into dollars twice as large, would make only half as many dol- lers. “The people of the United States would be injured by a change in the ratio, not be- cause ‘they produce silver, but because they own property and owe debts, and they can- not afford to thus decrease the value of their property or increase the burden of their debts, “In 1878 Mr. Carlisle said: ‘Mankind will be fortunate indeed if the annual produc- tion of gold and silver coin shall keep pace with the annual increase of population and industry.’ I repeat this assertion. All of the gold i silver annually available for coinage, 1 converted into coin at the present wh ratio, will not, in my judgment, more than supply our monetary needs. The Sherman Act. “In supporting the act of 18), known as the Sherman act, Senator Sherman, on June 5 of that year, saic “‘Under the law of February, 1878, the purchase of $2,000,000 worth of silver bul- licn a month has by coinage produced an- nually an average of Nearly $3,000,000 per month for a perlod of twelve years, but this amount, in view of the retirement of the bank notes, will not increase our cur- rency in proportion to our increasing pop- ulation. If our present currency 1s. esti- mated at $4,400,000,000 and our population is increasing at the ratio of 3 per cent per num, it would require $42,000,000 in- creased circulation each year to keep pace with the increase of population, Lut as the inerease of populaticn is accompanied by a still greater ratio of increase of wealth and business, It was thought that an immediate increase of circulation might be obtained by larger purchases ef silver bullion to an amount sufficient to make good the retire- ment of bank notes and keep pace with the srowth of population. Assuming that $54,- 00,00 a year of additional currency is necded upon this basis, that amount is pro- vided for in this bill by the issue of treas- ury notes in exchange for bullion at the nmiarket price.’ “Lf the United States then needed more than $42,000,000 annually to keep pace with Pepulation and business, it now, with a larger population, needs a still greater an nual addition, and the United States is only one nation among nations. Our opponents make no adequate provisicn for the in- creasing monetary needs of the world. No € of Ratio Needed “In the second place, a change in the ratio Is not necessary. Hostile legislation has decreased the demand for silver and lowered its price when measured by gold, while this same hostile legislation, by in- creasing the demand for gold, has raised the value of gold when measured by other forms of property. “We are told that the restoration of bi metallism would be a hardsh:p upon those who have entered into contracts payable in gold,coin, but this is a mistake. It will be easier to obtain the gold with which to meet a gold contract, when most of the people can use silver. than it is now wen every one Is trying to secure gold. “The Chicago platform expressly declares in favor of such legislation as may be nec- essary to prevent for the future the de- monetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. Such contracts are objected to on the ground that they are against public policy. No one ques: the right of legislatures to fix the rate of Interest which can be collected by law: there is far more reason for preventing pri- vate individuals from setting aside legal tender law. The money which is by law made a legal tender must, in the course of ordinary business, be accepted by 9 out of every 100 persons. Why should the one- hundredth man be permitted to exempt himself from the general rule? Special contracts have a tendency to increase the demand for a particular kind of money and thus force it to a premium. Have not the People a right to say that a comparatively few individuals shall not be permitted to deraage the financial system of the nation In order to collect a premium in case they succeed in forcing one kind of money to a premium? nee Money Not Omnipotent. “There ts another argument to which I ask your attention. Some of the mere zealous opponents of free coinage point to the fact that thirteen months must elapse between the election and the first regular session of Congress, and assert that dur- ing that time, In case people declare them- selves in favor of free coinage, all loans will be withdrawn and all Mortgages fore- closed. If these are merely prophecies in- dulged in by those who have forgotten the privisions of the Constitution, it will be sufficient to remind them that the President is empowered to convene Congress in ex- traordinary session whenever the Public good requires such action. If, in Novem- ber, the people by the! ballots declare themselves in favor of the immediate res- toration of bimetallism, the system can be inaugurated within a few months. If, how- ever, the assertion that loans will be with- drawn and mortgages foreclosed is made to prevent such political action as the peo- ple may believe to be necessary for the preservation of their rights, then a new and vital issue is raised. Whenever it is necessary for the people as a whole to obtain consent from the owners of money and the changers of money before they can legislate upon financial questions, we shall have passed from a democracy to a plutoc- racy. But that time has not yet arrived. Threats and intimidation witl be of no avail. The people who, in 1776, rejected the doctrine that kings rule by right di- vine, will not, in this generation, subscribe to a doctrine that money is omnipotent. International Bimetalliam. in conclusion, permit me to say a word 2m regard to international bimetallism. We are not opposed to an international agree- ment looking to the restoration of bimetal- lism throughout the world. The advocates of free coinage have on all occasions shown their willingness to co-operate with other nations in the reinstatement of silver, but they are not willing to await the pleasure of other governments when immediate re- Mef is needed by the people of the United States, and they further believe independent action offers better assurance of interna- Uonal bimetallism than servile dependence upon foreign ald. For more than twenty years we have invited the assistance of European nations, but all progress in the direction of international bimetallism has been blocked by the oppesition of those who derive a pecuniary benefit from the appre- ciation of gold. How long must we wait for bimetallism to be brought to us by those who profit by monometallism? If the double standard will bring benefits to our people who will deny them the right to enjoy those benefits? If our opponents would admit the right, the ability and the duty of our peo- ple to act for themselves on all public ques- tions without the assistance and regardless of the wishes of other nations, and then propose the remedial legislation which they corsider sufficient, we could meet them in the field of honcrable debate, but when they assert that this nation is helpless to pro- tect the rights of its own citizens we chal- lenge them to submit the issue to a people whose patriotism has never been appealed to in vain. = Maintaining National Dignity. “We shall not offend other nations when we declare the right of the American people to govern themselves, and, without let or hindrance from without, decide upon every question presented for their consideration. In taking this positign we simply maintain the dignity of seventy million citizens who are second to nonerin their capacity for velf-government. 1: “The gold standand has compelled the American people to pay an ever-increasing tribute to the crediter nations of the world a tribute which no:ene dares to defend. I assert that national hcnor requires the United States to seture justice for all its citizens as well as do-justice to all its cred- itors. For a people«like ours, blest with natural resources Of: surpnssing richness, to proclaim themselves impotent to frame a financial system sutted to their own needs is humiliating beyond the power of lan- guage to describe. We cannot enforce re- spect for our forelgm policy so long as we confess ourselves unable to frame our own financial policy. “Honest differences of opinion have al- ways existed and ever will exist as to the legislation best calculated to promote the public weal; but when it is seriously as- gerted that this nation must bow to the dic- tation of other nations and accept the poll- cies which they insist upon, the right of self-government is assailed, and until that question is settled all other questions are insignificant. Fo the Citizens of New York. “Citizens of New York: I have traveled from the center of the continent to the sea- board, that I might, in the very beginning of the campaign, bring you greeting from the people of the west and south and assure you that their desire fs not to destroy, but to build up. They invite you to accept the principles of a living faith, rather than lis- ten to those who preach the gospel of de- spair and advise endurance of the ills you have. ‘The advocates of free coinage believe that in striving to secure the immediate restoration of bimetallism they are laboring in your behalf as well as in their own be- half. A few of your people may. prosper under present conditions, but the perma- nent welfare of New York rests upon the producers of wealth. This great city is built upon the commerce of the nation, and must suffer if that commerce is impaired. You cannot sell unless the people have money with which to buy, and they cannot obtain the money with which to buy unless they are able to sell thetr produ is at re- munerative prices. Production of wealth goes before the exchange of wealth; those who create must secure a profit before they have anything to share with others. You cannot afford to Join the money-changers in supporting a financial policy which, by de- stroying the purchasing power of the pro- ducts of toll, must in the end discourage the creation of wealth. Round With Fetters of Gold. “ET ask, I expect, your co-operation. It is true that a few of your financiers would fashion a new ftigure—a figure representing Columbia, her hands bound fast with fetters of gold and her face turned toward the east, appealing for assistance to those who live beyond the sea—but this figure can never express your idea of this nation. You will rather turn for inspiration to the heroic statue which guards the entrance to your city—a statue as patriotic in conception as it Js colossal in proportion; it was the gracious gift of a sister republic and stands upon a pedestal which was built by the American people. That figure—Liberty Enlighte the World—Is emblematic of the missi our nation among the nations of the earth. With a government which derives its powers from the consent of the governed, secures to all the people freedom of consclence, free- dom of thought and freedom of speech, guarantees equal rights to all and promises special privileges to none, the United States should be an example in all that is good and the leading spirit in every movement which has for its object the uplifting of the human race.” —s0<— BRYAN AND SEWALL.

From the Chicago Reccri. “Speaking of McKinley,” remarked a voy- ager from Kansas, “did any of you fellows ever hear that he used to be a cook?” “No,” responded the cho “Well, he was,” retorted Kansas. “That's straight. He was once a cook, and he got $13 a month wages “What are you givin’ us?” asked a quiet young student from Columbia College, who had been out in the copper mines at Butte. Whereupon there was a hearty laugh, and several irrelevant suggestions were offered, when the Kansan resumed: “There's a fellow by the name of Wag- ner out in our town who claims that Wil- liam MeKinley, who is now a candidate for the presidency, used to cook for him, and that he was the worst cook he ever ate after. His biscuits were as heavy as lead, and his coffee was like the water of the Missouri river—all color and no taste. He could fry bacon pretty well. All you've got to do is to put it in the skillet and turn it over now and then.” “Where was th: Pawtucket man. “ weren't they?” s; down in West Virginia during the war.

From the North American Review. A few months ago i was in the town of E. (Kansas). There was a mayor who was married, and the happy pair had a little boy, That little boy was a wicked little boy. One day he was caught smoking a c:garette. Now, what should be done by sensible parents to such a wicked little bey? Why, he should be turned over and given a good, hearty—you know! This !s not at all what was done. The mayor's wife called up a meeting of women, made @ violent speech on the pernicious habit of cigarette smoking, and it was decided to petiticn the mayor and ask him to forbid the sale of cigarettes within the precincts of his jurisdiction. For the sake of peace and happiness at home, the worthy mayor published an edict prohibiting the sale of cigarettes in his district. However, cigar- ettes can be had in the town of E., but you Rave to walk nearly a mile, just outside the limits of the mayor's jurisdiction, to find a store, where a roaring trade in cigar- ettes is done. All the same you must admit that it is a nuisance to be obliged to walk a mile, in a free country, to buy a litile article of lux- ury that you indulge in, without ever abus- ing it, because there happens to be in the town a wicked iittle boy that once smoked a cigarette. cooking?” asked the (hey were camping out, FOR NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

Democratic Greece. From the Fortnightly Review. Greece is, undoubtedly, the most demo- cratic nation in Europe—perhaps in the world. In southeastern Europe the rule of the Turk obliterated all social distinctions and swept away every vestige of fcudalism. Reumania alone, which was never so com- pletely under the Turkish yoke, retains an aristocratic class; but Servia, Bulgaria and Greece are democratic to the core. In Servia and Bulgaria, however, the Slavonic instinct of obedience exists, the value of which is nowhere better shown than in the admirably disciplined Bulgarian army. In Greece every man is, in his own opinion, as good as his fellow—not oniy socially, but morally and intellectually; wealth, ability and high character, of course, count for something; but they are only regarded as accidental to the individual. There is Ittie respect for dignities—so little, indeed, that it has been seid that every soldier in the army is a general, and every sailor in the Ravy an admiral. A cabinet minister, seeking re-election to the chamber, throws open his drawing roem to his constituents. Men of every rank and class of society—lawyers, doctors, students, cabmen, laborers—troop in wear- ing their hats and smoking cigarettes. Not that they mean any disrespect, far from it; but they see no reason for making any alteration in their usual habits. They come to express their views on the topics of the day; they interrogate the candidate at length and warmly grasp his hand; they ask any little favor they may want, and go thelr way. , ——+e+— “Mr. Astor Magazine Hoaxed.
