JI'KINLEVS FINANCIAL POLICY
Speculation has long been rife re
garding the president's 'financial
policy. The champions of the Mc
Cleary bill have argued that he would
urge congress to pass it. Even after
Comptroller Dawes' report was pub
lished they clung to the hope that he
woXild lend the prestige of his name
to their scheme of currency reform,
but he has not done so. He has
asked congress definitely to make but
one change in our monetary legisla
tion, and it is a change that has noth
ing whatever to do with bank bills.
His recommendation can be followed
without any radical alteration in our
cuirency system, except as it gives
emphasis to the gold-standard idea
in the practical workings of resump
tion.
The resumption act was passed be
fore there was any recognized dif
ference in intrinsic value between a
gold and a silver dollar. As the law
stands, the government may use gold
or silver in the redemption of its
notes. It has always waived its op
tion in this respect in favor of the
note-holder. If Bryan had been
elected president the government
would have exercised its option by-
compelling the note-holder to accept
silver, and thus the country would
have been put upon a silver basis.
What the president now desires is
that the resumption act shall be so
amended that, to quote his exact lan
guage, "when any of the United
States notes are presented for re
demption in gold, and are redeemed
in gold, such notes shall be kept and
set apart and only paid out in ex
change for gold"" It is. not to be un
derstood that he aims to retire such
notes from actual circulation merely
to place resumption on a gold basis,
tor in further discussion of the sub
ject he remarks that "the present con
dition of the treasury ampl3' warrants
the immediate enactment of legisla
tion under which a portion of the
gold holdings should be placed in a
trust fund trom which greenbacks
should be redeemed upon presenta
tion, but when once redeemed should
not thereafter be paid out except for
gold." In this way the silver menace
would be effectually removed, with
out the disturbance of our present
currency system.
The next Cortes will abolish the
colonial department, which has suc
ceeded in looking after the welfare of
the Spanish colonies so carefully that
there are now no colonies left. Or,
to be more exact, Spain does rot
need a colonial department now that
all her colonies have left.
Two PolDted QuesTlens Answered
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor it you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans. As there ia no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How Can you get the public to know
your make is the beet?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
puss judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large eale on Cham
berlain's Cough remedy. The people
have been using it for vears and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with ebme fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claim?, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and croup there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For
sale by Blakeley & Houghton.
Fains in the chest when a person has
a cold indicate a tendency toward pneu
monia. A piece ' of flannel dampened
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
bound on to the ' chest over the seat ot
pain will promptly relieve the pain and
prevent the threatened attack of pneu
monia. This same treatment will enre
a lame back in a few hours. Sold by
Blakeley & Houghton.

The plea of Senator Hoar that we
have bought the Philippines for $20,
000,000, when we have no constilu
tional right' to buy sovereignty, is
absurd. We have no more "bought'"
the Philippines for 820,000,000 than
we "bought" California and New
Mexico, an area of 545,000 square
miles, for $18,000,000 in 1848. It
was a conquest really in both cases.
The utter inadequacy of the sum
paid, measured by the value of the
territory taken, shows that in both
cases the circumstasees were identi
cal. We exacted whatever territory
we saw fit, and then, in the spirit of
humanity for a fallen enemy, gave
him a little money to start in the
business of housekeeping again. Un
less Senator Hoar holds that the
treaty of Guadaloupe-Hidalgfl in
1848, was an unconditional purchase
of sovereignty over California and
New Mexico, his "constitutional"
argument on this point will hardly ',
hold water. Oregonian.

The importance of having prescrip

you to allow us to do the compounding.
The benefits accruing to the sick will
be greater, the cure speedier and the
