VALUE OF GOOD CURRENCY.
I'liat Which HcprcNcntH an Kqulvt
leiit In <■«»1 «l Is Quickly
Obtainable.
The "more money" advocates are
having a lesson in the operation cf the
law of supply and demand by which it
is hoped they will profit. They have al
ways "put the cart before the horse."
In times of business depression the de
mand for currency is less than inactive
periods. As a consequence there is less
of it in circulation, and the surplus, for
which there is 110 need, is stored away
in banks, in the treasury vauits and in
other depositories where it remains idle
and unproductive.
The people who want cheap money
and lots of it.from 48-cent silver dollars
molded in the holy ratio of sixteen to
one down to flat, paper turned out by
the bale or carload, say this depression
is due to the scarcity of money in circu
lation. The truth is the other we;*.
The depression causes tlie limited cir
culation of money. No more effective
demonstration of the principle that
commercial activity brings a lively de
maiul for currency could be afforded
than is to be seen eve ry day in the reg
ular course of business transactions in
this country. Confidence has been fully
restored, prosperity is general and the
belief in the stability of our finances
for some lime to come is firmly estab
lished. As a consequence paper cur
rency is in great demand. The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat puts'the matter clearly
when it says:
"As a matter of fact, the circulation has
been much larfrer recently than it ever was
before in the I'nited States. Money is not
Rrowlnff in volume constantly, but it is
growing more rapidly than population.
The per capita circulation is now up to
the highest point ever touched. It I - going
up every month. Yet there are complaints
that in one of its elements it is not ado
quate to the- demand. There is not enough
just now of paper money to fully meet the
needs of commerce. This is the report from
the trade centers.
"All this is an evidence of great business
activity and financial confidence. There is
apparently enough money in circulation it:,
the aggregate, metallic and paper, to meet
the demands even in this period of un
paralleled business expansion, but tike
paper ingreelient of it is not quite large
enough. When there is any sort of doubt
about the government's disposition or
ability to convert all its money into gold
nobody wants to accept paper or silver
when he can get gold. In conditions like
the present, however, when the gold
standard is certain to be maintained, every
other kind of money is more desirable in
business than gold, but paper money is in
especial demand. Thus it happens that at
present there is an apparent scarcity e.f
gre nbacks, national bank notes ar.d other
currency. This condition, of course, can
only be temporary, for the volume of the
circulating medium is constantly increas
ing, while the use of chicks, drafts and
other cas'i economizing devices is also
growing. 7ht- dearth, or apparent dearth,
of paper money is not going to be a serious
matter for business men. This fact, how
ever, that even the present immense sup
ply of money is all in active circulation,
and the further fact that ordinary persons
prefer any sort of currency to gold, is a
very tine tribute to the intelligence and
general financial sanity oT the republican
party, which has brought a business confi
dence and an industrial expansion such as
the? country seldom saw, even in the most
prosperous days of the past."
The best currency in the world is that
which represents an equivalent in gold,
quickly and conveniently obtainable.
'l'liat is what has been secured by ihe
wise financial course of the republican
administration, and the majority of re
publicans in congress. Imagine where
the- enormous commerce of the country
and the millions of wage-earners and
small producers, whose livelihood and
comfort would be so injuriously affected
by cheap or irredeemable dollars, would
have been with the fiat mania and six
teen to one foolishness in full force and
effect!— Troy Times.

DEMOCRACY'S DOOM.
Uryan'a Anta»eonl»ni to (inlil I>emo»
oral* Kreiia I |> the Faction
al \\ iirfare.
There is good reason to believe that
the attitude which Col. Bryan has as
sumed toward the gold democrats is
deplored by a large body of men who
voted for Mr. Bryan in IK'jg for the sake
of regularity. They did not then ac
cept the sixteen to one heresy, and
they are farther from acceptance to
day than they were in the summer of
18D6. They have been hoping that the
party leaders would get together on
some basis which would retire the sil
ver question at the sixteen to one ratio
to the rear or plsce bimetallism upon
a ratio to be determined by a demo
cratic congress, as has been advocated
by the editor of the -New York Jour
ral. Most of the gold democrats would
like to rejoin the party bearing the
old name, lmt they will not do it if the
free silver and populism of the Chi
cago platform are to be the cardinal
features of the party faith in 1!K>0. They
will be angered and driven farther away
by thedictatorialiind offensive attitude
which Col. Bryan assumed toward Mr.
Belmont. Many of those democrats
who voted for Mr. Bryan and his plat
form against their better judgment will
also be alienated by the arrogance of
Col. Bryan and Chairman Jones. They
see that it is absurd to make another
campaign upon the Chicago platform.
They see that whatever doubts There
might have been as to the results of
a reaffirmation of the gold standard
have been scattered by the unanswer
able logic of the past two years.
The only hope of the democratic
party was in the getting together of
its factions upon a platform which
would ignore the issues of 1896 or force
,them to the rear. The Gormans, the
Harrisons, ihe Crokers, and, it may
safely be said, the conservative leaders
in Indiana, have been hoping and la
boring to adjust the differences of
so that the party might act together in
1900. They have been doing this be
cause they see that the party must
win voters to carry the country, and
that ten voters will be lost where one
will be gained for 'he heresies of the
Chicago platform. In 1-90 the Bryan
ticket had the ent.re populist vote, and
it had some republicans who have since
seen the folly of sixteen to one. They
cannot win a republican to silverism,
Ihere are no populists to win, and. hav
ing to choose between the populism of
Bryan and a candidate for president
who stands for financial confidence,
many who voted for Bryan in 1.890 for
party's sal e will not vote for him in
1900. —Indr.'tnapolis Journal.
ITS MANAGER QUITS.
The Sl)»er Democracy Taken Leave
of the t'hainiilon Cheap
Coin Man.
Cruel ami relentless fate appears to
be strewing the pathway of the silver
democracy with broken glass in large
quantities. If there are any primroses
along t he highways of 1 iryunism and re
pudiation t hey have not been discovered
thus far this spring. The outlook is
dark, chilly and foreboding.
Close upon the heels of the Bryan-
Belmont battle of the banquets comes
the announcement that the silver de
mocracy and General Manager "Coin"
Harvey have parted company just-as
wheat and silvi r parted company two
years ago. In this instance, however,
the separation was not caused by the
law of supply and demand, but by the
forces of incompatibility. The head of
the business end of the democratic
party lias quit because Senator Jones
would not adopt "a practical business
like policy," while Senator • I ones claims
that the famous bookmaker on repudi
ation. who planned an elopement be
tween silver and wheat, is "visionary
and a dreamer."
This seems like a very inopportune
time for Senator Jones to prefer such
charges against "Coin" Harvey. After
Mr.Harvey has been industriously gath
ering in the "sinews of war" from those
ivho are willing l to be "educated" up
to the theory that congress can nullify
thf law of supply and demand and legis
late value into a commodity, Senator
Jones now gravely announces that he
believes Mr. Harvey is "visionary."
Can it be possible 1 hat Senator Jones
has just realized that the head "cm
balmer" of the sixteen to one fallacy is
a "dreamer?" Has it taken the Arkan
sas statesman three years to learn that
a man who believes the government
can make 40 cents' worth of silver pass
for a dollar is "visionary?"
The people are not so slow as Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas. They have
settled down to the conclusion that the
whole free silver business is not only
a "dream" but a nightmare.—Chicago
Times- Herald.
Circulating (iolil.
The treasury department reports
that, as the result of the comparative
scarcity of paper money in the treasury
and the consequent refusal to give
banks paper iu exchange for gold, the
circulation of gold coin throughout ihe
country is greater to-day than in many
years before. There was a time when
a gold piece would not be seen in the
ordinary channels of trade from one
year's < ml to another, but Americans
are now becoming better acquainted
with the yellow coins. The popular
prejudice in favor of paper money as
the medium of exchange is merely the
result of education. In England gold
circulates freely, an ml no objection is
made to it.and doubtless in this coun
try the people will like it better when
tlie\ become more accustomed to hand
ling it. silver cranks of course excepted.

Washington, April B.—The president
has authorized the battleships and ar
mored cruisers which the law required
to be named after states, to be named
the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia,
West Virginia, .Nebraska and Califor
nia. The six cruisers which are to be
named after cities are to be named the
Denver, l)es Moines. Chattanooga, Gal
veston, 'I aconia and Cleveland.
Petitions by the hundred have been
flowing into the White House and navy
department ever since the new ships
were provided, urging the merits of
various names. The president and Sec
retary Long enjoyed the rivalry and in
making the linal determination consid
eration was given not only to the
urgency of the influence brought to
bear, but also to the several sections of
the country. Pennsylvania petitioned
through Gov. Stone. Senators Quay and
Penrose and the entire delegation in
the house of representatives. Georgia
did not petition the navy department,
and it is believed the choice of a south
ern state was due to a desire by the
president to compliment those with
whom he visited on his recent south
ern trip. Senator IClkins and rlie con
gressional delegation we re most active
for West Virginia. Representative
Mercer made it his business to besiege
the navy department with petitions for
Nebraska. The choice of California
also sems to be a personal compliment,
without the same effort shown in other
states. The same rivalry was shown
among the cities, the mayors, city
councils, chambers of commerce, etc.,
joining in the pleas.
The battleships Pennsylvania. New
Jersey and Georgia are described m the
act authorizing them as follows:
"Three seagoing coast line battleships,
carrying the heaviest armor and most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class, upon a trial displacement of
about 13,500 tons, to be sheathed and
coppered and to have the highest prac
ticable speed and great radius of action,
nnd to cost, exclusive of armor and
armament, not exceeding 5.'i.000.000
each." The armored cruisers are simi
larly described, exceipt that they are
to cost $4,000,000 each and are to have
a displacement of Hi, 000 tons.
The cruisers Denver. Cleveland and
others are described as "protected crui
ser® of about 2,500 tons trial displace
ment. to be sheathed and coppered and
to have the highest speed compatible
with good cruising qualities, great
radius of action and to carry the most
powerful ordnance suited to vessels of
their class, and to cost, exclusive of
armament, not exceeding $1,141,800
each."

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
The Prompt Way to Cure Yourself When Symptoms Show That Your
Blood is Out Of Order.
THE EMINENT SPECIALIST'S FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.
For a great many years it has be-en
the customi for sick people to say: "My
blood is out of order. It needs purify
ing. I feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired."
They are right, butdo they act right?
They generally go and get a laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science ha-s to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood)
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the im
purities of the blood —that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a quesr
tion of taking a laxative or physic.
Does j our blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work—they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford

An Kvidenee of Prosperity.
It is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella
tion of pleasure travel, while a healthy con
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
"Lake Shore Limited," the star train of the
\ anderbilt system, between New Vork and
Chicago, which is daily comfortably filled.
With a view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days. To the regular traveler the appoint
ments and comforts of this train are well
known, hut if you have never made a trip
on it, you owe it to yourself lo see and en
joy the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel. Remember
the fare is no higher on this train, except
between New York and Chicago, while the
accommodations and service place this par
ticular train conspicuously at the head of
the list, when compared with other lines.—
