No matter what the cause. you cannot wish to look old at thirty. Gray hair is starved hair. The hair bulbs have been deprived of proper food or proper nerve force. Ayer’s Hair Vigor increases the circulation in the scalp, gives more power to the nerves, supplies miss- ing elements to the hair bulbs. Used according to direc- tions, gray hair begins to show color in a few days. Soon it has all the softness and richness of youth and the color of early life returns.

How the Single Gold Standard Is En- slaving the Producers of Wealth— Seventeen Millions of Human Beings Ruled by the Monopolists. The single gold standard is doing just what we said it would 20 years ago. The centralization of capital has been going on, individual enterprises have almost entirely disappeared,while every day in the year thousands of hu- man beings are shackled into trust slavery. Prompt remonetization of sil- ver and the total abolition of corpora- tion paper money would have prevent- ed this, but it is doubtful now if any- thing short of government ownership of all monopolies will cure the evil.

S.—Most of the combines men- tioned in brackets have been formed since the investigation of the present administration. As soon as it became apparent that the British gold stand- ard was safe the fellows who furnished the money for Mark Hanna’s campaign began to garner their pounds of flesh. It is estimated that nearly 350,000 men have been thrown out of work as a re- sult of the combinations. PERSECUTING SCHLEY. It looks as though the attack of the naval bureau ring on Rear Admiral Schley might cease. United States Senator George Well!- ington of Maryland has notified Presi- dent McKinley that his attitude in per- mitting the naval clique to harrass Schley is likely to cost him the .politi- cal support of that state. This is an argument which will ap- peal to the president. McKinley is a politician first, last and all the time, and while he might like to encourage continued persecution of Schley, the fear that he will lose votes by such a course is quite likely to give him pause. As an argument to prove his asser- tion concerning the situation in Mary- land Senator. Wellington says that the anti-Schley crusade, unchecked by the president, was almost wholly responsi- ble for the overwhelming defeat of the Republicans at the municipal election in Baltimore last spring, and that the entire state will go for fusion in the national campaign next year unless the persecution is stopped. The people of Maryland, Senator Wellington explains, have reached the conclusion that if such injustice to a naval hero can be perpetrated with a T:epublican president and a Republic- an secretary, of the navy, it would be a good thing to change both, and they will vote their convictions. It will be gratifying to the fair- minded people of this nation to have the malignant persecution of Rear Ad- miral Schley ended: But it would be much more gratify- ing if the cessation of these attacks came through nobler motives than mere political expediency. The folly of trying to force Sampson upon the people as the hero at Santi- ago has been amply demonstrated, but such demonstrations fail entirely to impress the narrow-minded politica] tricksters at Washington. Under such circumstances, it is per- haps well that Senator Wellington, the head of the Republican party in Mary- land, should call McKinley’s attention to the fact that he is playing a losing game and that it would be wise policy for him to drop it. Folly of Jingo Cries. From the Boston Transcript: Couid there be any ending to wars short of extermination of the weaker party if all who oppose the prosecution of any war after it has once begun are “cop- perheads” and enemies of their coun- try? If, after the first shot was fired, no one should venture to criticise the | war until the other side surrendered unconditionally, one nation would have to be “wiped out,” or, if their power was equal, both would be ex- terminated like the far-famed Kil- kenny cats, An innocent heart is a brittie thing, and one false vow can break it.
