Butts THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1896 THE RAIN. "What can anyone write about or think about after breakfast this morning but this soft, welcome, life giving rain? Not the news from the conventions in Portland, im portant as we all find them to be, claims the first thought of the heart, tut the rain, the blessed rain ! "We must give voice to the voiceless and speak for the clover seed just sown ; the peas, swelling to bursting in Mother Earth's brown bosom, and by association, to the grasses cloth ing the hillsides where the young lambs will soon be fitted to sacrifice for man's needs ; to the wheat fields, making ready to feed hungry na tions; to the under-ground reser voiis, laying up store that the springs fail not in mid-summei heat. These, and more than these, are singirg this morning the jubilee psalm "Thank God for the blessed rain!" We- may forget a little, or more properly, overlay, this note of thank fulness in the heated contest of the coming weeks, but before it is fairly tinder way we will, with all sentient nature, echo the great loving throb that comes from the mother of us all, of bursting buds, of growing life, and say again, "Thank God for th e blessed rain 1" In connection with the present atmospheric effects, the thought of tomorrow's ceremonies comes most appositely. Arbor day exercises are arranged for apparently very generally m the schools of the state. Here the Ninth grade. A, is to con duct the program, and the hearts of all lovers of their kind will be with them, whether or not their ears are present to hear the pretty recitations and essays which will then be given. There is more in this than at first seems. It is not the one tree or Tine that may be planted, and may or may not grow; it is the love of nature, the reverense for "God's first temples," that will not only lead to the wish to be instrumental in making two to grow where but one grew befoie, but to inculcate a spirit of preservation of what is already grown," so that our laws in this di rection may not remain dead on our statute book. What Weaver Avoided. Gen. Weaver, according to all reports, made the same speech in Portland that he did in The Dalles. The Portland Telegram has the following comments ppon it : It is only because the wage-earners of the United States are unawar of the consequences of free silver coinage that they are not up in arms against it. If they were asaured that the placing of this country's menetary system upon a silver standard would reduce their wages to a point below the level of comfortable subsistence they would hoot such orators as Weaver off the platform, and that they are not so assured is their own fault. They listen to the vapid theories of Populism while their ears and eyes are closed to the conditions that prevail in every country where silver is the stand ard money. It is their obstinacy in this respect that enables the Weavers to apply the woof of demagogy to their warp of reason. To the study of the workingmen of Portland who hearkened to the Iowa Dilgrim's arguments last evening is com' mended the tables of wage rates that prevail in Mexico, China and Japan, the only three oountriea of any considerable size or commercial importance where silver is the acknowledged measure of value. It will be fonnd that those coun tries have the lowest wage rates and consequently the most debased labor in the world. Tbeir common people are below the level of the beasts of burden in the United States, for they do not get enough compensation for their toil to provide them with sufficient of life's bare necessaries. This aspect of the silver question is carefully and ostentatiously avoided by the Weavers of popular delusion. Yet it is the vital one. All economic move' ments must be determined primarily by their effect upon the masses, and noth ing is more certain that the silver stand ard is incompatible with anything but starvation wages. If we attempt to as similate our financial and industrial sys tem to that of the silver standard coun tries we must take the latter as a whole. We cannot grasp its advantages if it of fers any and reject its objectionable features. It must be all or nothing. No wonder that the Weavers of public discontent avoid comparison of American wages with those paid the toilers in the silver standard countries. It May Do as Hsch for You. Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes that he had a severe kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was af fected. He tried meny so called Kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began to use Electric Bit ters and found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all Kidney and Liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price 50c and $1.00.

GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, cWef consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., com pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi ents which had an especial effect upon the stomach and liver, rousing the organs to healthful activityaa well as purifyins; and enriching the blood. By such means the stomach and the nerves are supplied with pure blood; they will not do duty without it any more than a locomotive can run with out coal. You can not get a lasting: cure of Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, bjr taking arti ficially digested foods or pepsin the stom ach must do its own work in its own way. Do not put your nerves to sleep with so called celery mixtures, it is better to go to the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af fections, Buch as sleeplessness and weak, nervous feelings are completely cured by the " Discovery." It puts on healthy flesh, brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the whole system. Mrs. K. Henke, of No. 8gS North Hoisted St., Chicago, III., writes: "I regard my improve ment as simply wonderful. Since taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery in connection with his Pleasant Pellets ' I have gain ed in every respect, particularly in nesh and strength. My liver was dreadfully enlarged and I suf fered greatly from dyspepsia. No phy sician could give relief. Now. after two months I am entire ly relieved of my disease. My appe Mrs. Hknkk. tite is excellent; food well digested; bowels regular end sleep much improved." Subscribe for The Chronicle.

Free trial bottles at Blakeley & Houghton's Drug Store. Regular size 50 cents and $1 00. Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub lish the following extract from a letter of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno county, Calif., as they handle the rem edy referred to and want their customers to know what a eplended medicine it is : "It is with pleasure I tell you that by one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough remedy I was relieved of a very bad cold. My head was completely stopped up and I could not sleep at night. I can recommend this remedy." A cold nearly always starts in the bead and afterwards extends to the throat and lungs. By using this remedy freely as soon as the cold has been contracted it will cure the cold at once and prevent it from extend ing to the lungs. Reduced Kates. Effective March 22d. The O. R. &N.
