GOLD AND ITS BURDENS.
The entire issue of money In the
United States on October 1, 1895, (the
latett sUtutics we have at band) was
2.215.442.650. Seeree ated into the
different classes of money, it wa9 as
follows: ."
Gold eoin... 1566.100.8)8
Standard silver dollars ...... 4S.289.309
Subsidiary silver - 78.291,880
Gold certificates 50,748,909
Silver certificates. ..... ... . . 838.897.504
Treasury notes (act 1890) 143,666,280
United States notes-.-.., . 846,681,016
Currency certificates (act 1872) . ." 67,615,000
National bank notes 212,851.984
Of this amount $629,849, 141 were held
in. the treasury, and 81,585,593,509 were
in circulation. Estimating that the
"8499,581,189 of-standard silver dollars
, and subsidiary coins, at their bullion
value of 50 cents on the dollar re'
- present 8250,790,294 of real money,
the presumable ' burden which the
8556,100,818 of -old bears is very nearly
three dollars to one. That is the labor
it performs is to support 81,408,451,238
of fiat For every dollar of paper and
one-half the exchangeable value of the
- silver is maintained at a. parity with
gold simply because it is redeemable
"in that metal. If such a system were
applied to private business it would be
considered hazardous, risky, wild. How
long would the outstanding paper of
any bank,' corporation or individual,
redeemable on sight, remain at par if
backed only by one-third the value, in
property or money of the amount out
standing? No class' of property,
whether it is gold or other chattels,
can sustain suob a burden for an indefi
nite length of time. But under the
resumption act, the gold'reserve of the
treasury is made to bear even a much
greater burden, one that is out of all
reason and contrary to business experi
ence. . According to the provisions of i
this law the 8100,000,000 gold reserve
that is supposed to be in the treasury
at all times, furnishes the basis or med-
. ium of redemption for. the $1,408,451,

The financial world recognizes that
this burden is too great and cannot be
long endured; hence the financiers of
the country recognize that one of three
things is necessary in order to retain
the stability of the currency. There
must either be a greater gold reserve

to -'reducing the volume of paper

. AN' IMPENDING CRISIS.'
The San Fan Francisco Chronicle
has become one of 3rAjaiffcat calamity
v. Jwrtsr In the nation, and sees the
direst destruction awaiting the nation
and all over free institutions in case
" McKinley is defeated. It draws this
picture of the situation : -
"The Bryan democrats and Watson
Populists are forcing an isssue upon
the country whioh is not unlikely to
transcend, in its importance, those of
the currency and tariff. It is an issue
of public safety from the misrule of
fanatics. In this canvass the respons
. ible and sober men of whatever politics
are gradually getting on one side; and
on the outer are au tne wiia-eyea
cranks who wish an enacting clause
put to their fads and their empirical
- schemes for making the idle man
happy and rich. The cave of Adullam
had In it eyery one that was in die
tress, every one that was in debt, and
every one that was discontented, but
the ' cave of populist-democracy, ' be
sides all these, has gathered in every
one that is insane and every one who
has a grudge against public order and
every one who has a new political
philosophy. The Altgelds and Till
mans of the Chicago convention are
now re-enforced by the 'Cyclone'
Davises, and 'Calamity' Wallers, and
'General Coxeys:'
"It is men like these who would feel
indicated and put in a position to as
sert themselves in the affairs of govern'
ment if the Chicago or the Chicago and
St. Lonls ticket should be elected.
Washington would be full of them on
the 4th of March. Altgeld would be
there a promising candidate for a
seat in the cabinet to demand legis
lation against federal authority over
mobs. Tillman would be there with a
bill foa a national gin dispensary, pat
terned after his state barrooms in
South Carolina. Peffer would be there
to work the harrassed farmers out of
debt by putting a government blanket
mortgage over their entire holdings.
Weaver would be on band to ask for
silver monometallism. Henry George
would be in the lobbies of congress
proclaiming . the silver tax. The
'cyclones' the 'calamities' and the
commonweal 'gtnerals' would mass for
an attack upon the -supreme court,
while the followers of . all their
schemes for government paternalism,
free homes, direct legislation
through the referendum, a price-of-labor
gauge for salaries, and heaven
knows what , else, would create a
political pandemonium the like of
which no country ever saw before ex
cept France in the days of Jacobin ex- (
cesses. Four years of the rule of such
men would strain the safeguards of
this nation to the snapping point and
justify Henry George's jubilant proph
ecy of the struggle wider, deeper, and
bitterer than that over chattel slav
ery." Were there any foundation for such
assertions as these the outlook would
be somewhat gloomy; but there is no
likelihood of Bryan calling around
him as his advisors such men as
Altgeld, Tillman aud Peffer. He has
nothing in commini with them. He la
not beholding to them for his nomina
tion, nor will he be indebted to them
for his election. Admitting, however,
for the sake of argument that Bryan
may heed the counsel of common
psople of the coontry, and may per
chance call some homey-fisted son of
toil into bis official household, then
compare the influences that will sur
round Mc ntinley, in case of his eleotlon
and judge which will be most closely
allied to the interest and welfare of
the masses. Judging, from those who
are most ardently advocating Me
Kinley's election, he will choose his
advisors from amon; the plutocracy of
the nation. Such men as Han Da, Piatt,
Quay, Spreckels, Huntington and the
Vanderbilts, the representatives of the
railroad, and manufacturing corpora'
tions, the syndicates aud trusts whose
purpose is to make themselves richer
and the masses poorer. What effect
would four years of rule of this nation
by the corporations have upon the
common people? What kind of
schemes for government paternalism
would be engendered under their dic
tation? What favoritism would be ex'
tended to the classses that have al
ready grown rich from the paternalism
of government beneficience? Mc
Kinley is mortgaged soul and body to
these influences; his nomination was
secured through their influence, and
his election can only result through
their aid. Four years of their rule
through him will Indeed strain the
safeguards of this nation to the snap
ping point, and will bind the common
people in a more complete bond of ser
vitude than were the southern slaves
prior to Lincoln's emancipation proclamation.
LET US ACT AT OSCE.
The waters of the noble Columbia
have receded so that work could once
more be commenced at Cascade Locks,
an abundance of money for this pur
pose is available and we understand
the engineers in charge have arranged
with Day Bros, to prosecute the work
of completing the canal and locks, but
not a wheel is being turned or a stone
being moved, why nobody except per
haps the government engineers can
tell. Were work commenced at once,
the wheat crop would be ready to
move long before the canal would be
in readiness for operation, but with
sufficient energy exerted in prosecut
ing the work a considerable amount of
the wheat crop might yet be carried
through the locks this fall. Though
from present indications it does not
appear that the engineers will exert
any energy in this direction if left to
themselves; therefore it behooves
Eastern Oregon and especially The
Dalles to take a hand in the matter.
There can be no excuse now for de
laying the work longer, and we be
lieve if the matter were properly pre
sented to the war department work
would be commenced at once and
rushed through to.completion. If The
Dalles would employ a competent agent
to make a thorough Investigation of
the situation, both at the locks and in
the chief engineer's office and report
the same directly to the secretary of

war, there is little doubt that orders
would be immediately issued to com
plete the work in the shortest possible
space of time. , . Without some such
action we need not expect to see any
activity exhibited soon. Let us awake
to our own interest, quit relying upon
government officials, but cause an in
vestigation to be made ourselves. '
THE CASCADE RESERVE.
For almost a month, or since the
water of the Colunbia has receded so
the portatre road coil (I be operated,
not a train has been allowd to paBS
over the road. Why this is so, and
why a road built at the expense' J. the
state and for the benefit of the peop? J.
is thus tied up is a question Eastern
Oregon is anxious to have answered.
Hoping- that the matter might be
amicably settled between those who
have the management of the portage
and those who are obstructing its
operation, the Times-Mountaineer
has refrained from making comment
bat since there appears to be little
hope of an immediate adjustment, we
deem it at least due to our readers to
give the facts connected therewith as
nearly as they can be obtained.
Before the portaee road was built
the state secured from the United
States a rightrof-way through the gov
eminent reserve at the Cascades, there
being a stipulation in the grant pro
viding that the operation of the road
should in no wav interfere with the
government work on the canal and
locks. Acting on the good faith of the
general government to not be tech-
inal in the matter of interference, the
state built the portage at an expense
of about $75,000 and operated it unin
terruptedly for something over thtee
years.
During all this time work was being
prosecuted on the canal and locks, and
there was no material complaint either
from the contractors or government
engineers that the portage road inter
fered with their rights or privileges.
But now, when no work is being pros
ecuted on the canal and locks, and
there has been none during the past
month, the engineer in charge refuses
the state the right to run trains over
the road. Why such orders should be
issued at this time, when there is no
work to interfere with is unexplalna-
ble. The contractors have as yet re
ceived no orders from the war depart
ment instructing them to again begin
operations, and until such orders are
ijuued there will be no construction
work commenced. Until work is re
sumed, justice would demand that the
engineer in charge permit the state to
operate the portage. By refusing to
grant this privilege he is thwarting
the wishes of a large number of people
and also interferring with commerce.
His acts thus far in the matter seem
utterly unwarranted. ,
QUEER LOGIC.
It is a persistent popular error that
the value of money in any country de
pends upon the amount in circulation.
The value of money depends upon noth
ing but the value of that of which it is
made. Oregonian.
No more fallacious statement than
the above could be made. Money is
nothing more than a convenient com
modity through which the exchange
of trade is effected, and when con
sidered as a commodity its value must
be governed by the law of supply and
demand. ' If money is scarce and the
demand is great, its value, when
measured by Its power to purchase
labor or the necessaries of life, neces
sai ily increases. On the other hand
when it is plentiful the demand is
lessened and its purchasing power or
its "value" diminishes. - These are
facts which history and all experience
verify.
Go back to the time of inflated cur
rency, from 1861 to 1878, and the -value
or purchasing power of every kind of
money, coin as well as paper-, wmlefes
than it is at present or has been at any
time during recent years. - Durl
binations that oppress labor at one end
and rob consumers at the other.

WERE 1HEY PROPHETS?
A number of Wasco county sheep
raisers have been arrested and taken
to Portland, where they will be requir
ed to answer in Judge Bellinger's
court to a charge of having herded
their flocks upon the Cascade forest
reserve. Information was filed against
the sheepmen by Henry Failing, chair
man of the Portland water commission.
It is claimed by the informants against
the sheep men that they have been
herding JmftifltriML-qn the Bull Run
reserve, the source from whicnMirt-
land obtains its water supply, and also
that the herders set fire to the timber,
which may do no end of damage. The
outcome of these arrests will probably
result in enforcing the law preventing
the herding or grazing of stock any'
where on the Cascade timber reserve,
and in consequence the stock business
of Wasco and Crook counties will be
diminished at least one-third, for with
out the use of the Cascade mountains
for summer pasturage one-third the
sheep raisers in these two counties will
have to go out of business.
There is little sense and much less
justice in depriving the sheepmen of
the use of summer ranges in the Cas
cades, since their flocks grazing in the
moutains are more benefit than ' detri
ment to growing timber, as they eat
out the under brush and . give the
larger timber an opportunity to grow,
As to the claim that sheep men kindle
forest fires, it is absurd. They dread
forest fires more than any one else, for
there is danger of burning up their
entire flocks, honce they are cautious
about setting them out.
it is nut just that tne Bull Kun re
serve be protected from the encroach'
ment of flocks, since it Is desirable
that the metropolis of the state should
have a perfectly pure water supply, but
the remainder of the forest reserve
should be thrown open to the stock
raisers of Eastern Oregon, . and we
trust that the Oregon delegation in
congress will exert their energies to
securing such an order.
A few days since the controller of
New York called forbids for $3,805,196
of 3 per cent gold bonds of the
New York, and the bids received agre-
gate only 810,010,000, the price rang
ing from par to 109.5. What is the
matter with these gold bonds anyway
that they do not meet ready sale? Are
holders of money afraid to buy twenty-
dollar pices? Is the distrust in the
gold securities of the great city of New
York caused by the silver agitation?
The inconvenience to which the
Wasco county sheepmen are put re
garding the herding of their flocks on
the timber reserve Is said to have been
brought about by some indiscrete
sheep owners ranging their flocks on
the Bull Bun reserve. There would
have been no trouble about the rest
of the reserve had Portland's water
supply not been molested. Hence it
is that a large number of sheep owners
have to suffer for the indescrete acts
of a few who disregard the rights of
Portland,
those years a day's labor, a
wheat or a pound of cotton would
nearly twice as much money as it.
at present, because money .was
plentiful, hence was of less Value.
Were the statement of the Ore
gonian, that the volume of money in
circulation has no effect upon its
value, really true, it would be of no con
sequence whether we had one million
or one billion dollars in circulation its
value would remain the same, .hence
its argument that the free coinage of
silver will drive gold out of circulation,
and thereby make money scarce and
dear, has no foundation. But all ex
perience teaches a different state of
affairs to exist, especially when we
consider money only as a commodity,
and it is nothing else, and compare it
with other commodities. Suppose Re
take wheat as the staivfcrif- bf whioh
values awaeured. When there is
an abundant crop all over the world
the supply is great", and the price of
wheat goes down, or the purchas
ing power of money and other com'
modi ties rises,, but when there is
shortage in the supply of wheat it rises
in price, and the purchasing power of
money and other commodities when
measured in wheat falls. The same is
equally true with regard to money,
Its value is governed by the law of sup
ply and demand the same. When it Is
plentiful its purchasing power is. dim'
inisbed: when scarce it will buy mor
of the results of labor.
WALL STREETS HYSTERICS.
The New Yok World is one of the
strongest democratic gold standard
papers in the. country, but it is not
afraid to read Wall street a lesson oe
casionaily. Only a few days ago it
turned its editorial . batteries looscon
the stock pambleis and gold brokers
who congregate there in the following
vigorous manner:
"The Stock exchange has no Bryan,
so far as is known, but on Saturday it
worked itself into quite a fair imitation
of the Chicago convention hysterics.
One of the members frantically waved
an American flag, and there was a
great outcry ' and uproar against
'Bryan and populism.' The tumult
ended with the organization of a 'Bank
ers' and Brokers' McKinley Campaign
Club,' consisting of democrats and republicans.
"The men may mean well, but they
don't seem to know that any demon
stration which they may make is not
calculated to help the republican ticket.
They ought to have received a strong
hint from St. Louis and to have learned
for certain from Chicago that anything
which 'Wall street' wants is quite sure
to be hotly opposed by immense bodies
of voters in other parts of the country.
"Nor is this feeling without reason.
Many of the wrongs and grievances
complained of by the voters who sent
the two-thirds majority to the Chicago
convention are real and just. While not
upholding the remedy they propose,
we have never for a moment lost sight
of the fact that their grievance is great
and their complaint in some part well
founded.
It is the concrete and combined
power for. which 'Wall street' is the
symbol in the popular mind that has
made a monopoly of transportation,
and has brought all the prime neces
saries of life iron, steel, oil, coal,
be it, sugar, and a hundred others
under the control of trusts and corn-
There are perhaps no higher recog'
nized authorities on finance in the
United States than John Sherman and
John G. Carlisle, especially when rated
from a gold standard point of view
They have both served long years in
congress and each has been secretary
of the United States treasurv. Each
has devoted much time to the study of
finance, and whatever either of them
says at this time on the question of
money is received almost with scrip'
tural sanctity by the advocates of the
gold standard. Hence what they said
in the past ought to receive some
degree of considerationnotwithstand
ing their minds have undergone some
sort of an evolution, and their views
have somewhat changed in the past
twenty years. Nevertheless their past
utterances had the tinge of prophecy
and what they foretold years ago has
really come to pass. In a speech de
livered in the senate on July 11, 1S76,
Mr. Sherman said:
"The enormous effect of the law In
Germany, and as a consequence the
partial demonetization of silver coins,
I suppose is felt by every man, woman
and child who buys or Bells anything.
A struggle for the possession of gold
at once arose between the great
nations, because anybody could see
that if $3,200,000,000 of silver coins
were demonetized, and $3,500,000,000
of gold coin made the sole standard, it
would enormously add to to the value
of gold, and tne Bank of France, the
Bank of England, and the Imperial
Bank of Germanv at once commenced
grasping for gold in whatever form
Therefore, what we have recently
observed is not so much a fall of silver
as it is a rise of gold, the inevitable
effect of a fear of the demonetization
of silver."
Two years later, John G. Carlisle,
then a congressman from Kentucky,
addressing the house on the question
of the demonetization of silver, said:
"According to my view of the sub
ject, the conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and in Europe
to destroy by legislation from three
sevenths to one-half of the metallic
money of the world, is the most gigan
tic crime of this or any other age.
"The consummation of such a scheme
would ultimately entail more misery
upon the human race than all the wars,
pestilences and famine that ever
occurred in the history of the world
The absolute and instantaneous de
struction of half the entire moveable
property of the world, including
houses, ships, railroads, and all other
appliances for carrying on commerce,
while it would be felt more sensibly at
the moment, would not produce any
thing like the prolonged distress and
disorganization of society that must
inevitably result from the permanent
annihiliation of one-half the metallic
money in the world." ;
Only a few years prior to these utter
ances the United States had closed her
mints to silver and France had ceased
to UBe it as a primary money. The
effects were already being felt in all
parts of the world. The leading
nations were scrambling for the pos
session of gold, and on account of the
increased demand for that metal its
purchasing power gradually increased,
or in other words, the price of the pro
ducts of labor, when measured by gold,
fell. This fall was so gradual that it
was scarcely noticed from year to year,
but when covering a period of years it
was most perceptible. A comparison
of the price which the two great
staples, wheat and cotton, commanded
in 1875 and in 1894 show the prophesies
of Sherman and Carlisle, that the price
of gold would increase, were trne.
The price of upland cotton for export '
fnJI&ffaifTaehts, inl94 it was 7,
cents. Wheat for export in 1875 com
manded $1.12 per bushel, in 1894, 57
cents. A like decline in the price of
nearly every other product of unskilled
labor resulted during that time. And
what was the cause? Sherman and
Carlisle, both able statesmen an
financiers, one a republican the other
a democrat, said twenty years ago that
it was the natural result of the de
monetization of silver, and what they
said then would follow seems to have
come true.
IN A PICKEL.
Bourke Cochran, the erstwhile pol
itical boss of New York, who has been
trying to pose as a democratic leader,
has recently returned from a trip to
Europe, and is now busying himself
trying to conjure up some means by
which the democratic national ticket
may be defeated. Cochran cannot
swallow anything that pertains to sil
ver. lie wants a single gold standard
and more than anything else he wants
to see McKinley elected, because he
fears no silver medling under his ad'
ministration. The idea of bimetalism
or a silver standard is very distasteful
to Mr. Cochran, in fact he cannot en
dure anything but. pure gold as t
money.
It is Indeed strange that Mr. Cochran
ever came to America, since when he
crossed the Atlantic his native Ireland
was on a gold basis and had been for
years, while the United States was
then a bimetallic country. And it is
also strange, if a gold standard is such
a good thing for all classes that Mr.
Cochran was never able to earn enough
money in the old country to pay his
passage first-class across the ocean.
No doubt- the visions of the bard'
ships he endured in the old country
still haunt Mr. Cochran, but since he
has become a great corporation attor
ney, and has lost his sympathy for the
poor common people, he is no longer
interested in their welfare.
But this does not clear away the
picket which he "is in. He wants to
beat Bryan, and doesn't know just
where to begin. We would suggest
that he make a start by pointing out
the comforts and flourishing condition
of the laboring man in his native
country which has been on a gold
basis since 1816, and endeavor to con
vince the labarers of America that it is
to their advantage to stand in for his
good, pure, cold gold. .

If a gold standard causes high wages,
why do we hf-ar so much about the

those countries to the United Status

The combined efforts of the populists

gether in the same harness.
The ratio of the production of silver
and gold 1b 17.37 to 1. In other words,
seventeen and thirty-seven hundredths
ounces of silver is produced to every
ounce of gold. The production of the
world in 1895 was 9,500,000 ounces of
gold to 865,000,000 ounces of silver.
The difference in real value at a ratio
of 16 to 1 It appears is very slight.
The attention of those papers who

that the Wilson tariff law had reduced

be, another "argument" against the

It is a pleasing pastime with the
McKinleyites to point to Mexico as a
"shining example" of free coinage
Why not point to China as a "shining
example" of the beauties of protection?
China has pursued a most vigorous
protective policy for centuries, and if
the condition of Mexico is an argument
against free coinage, the condition of
the Chinese ought to be as effective
with reference to protection.

AFFAIRS IN CUBA
The Outlook is Not Altogether Bright
at Present For the Cu
ban Patriots.
New York and Chicago Banker are Kf
ing the tiold Reserve Intact Trean
urvr Mlnto Hu Finally Settled
With Marion County.
Chicago, Aug. 4. Nothing in years
has caused such a flurry in commercial
circles as the collapse of Moore Rro.
in their efforts to maintain control of
the Diamond Match Company and the
New York Biscuit Company. A strik
ing feature of the failure is the fact
that the stock exchange for thu first
time in its history adjourned indefiuuly
today without doing a dollar's worth
of business. The following notice was
posted:
"The Chicago stock exchange has
adjourned, subject to the action of the
governingcommittee. WlNKINS, Sea
retary."
In the corridors were excited groups
of brokers and traders 'discussing the
situation. Every one connected with
the exchange was endeavoring to con
vince everybody else that there was
no cause for alarm. They announced
that the officials of the exchange were
endeavoring to form a pool to buy up
the stock of Moore Bros., to hold it un
til the flurry was over. At a meeting
of the governing committee a commit
tee of four was decided upon to confer
with the bankers of Chicago and Moore
Bros., to arrange upon a basis of settle
ment. This committee will meet at 3
P. M. today. This action had the effect
to modify the excitement. Those best
posted declare that there is no foar of
a general panic.
It is estimated that Moore Bros, lost
between $4,000,000 and $,000,000 in
the Diamond Match deal. Some say
It wiped out every cent of their for
tunes. The Chicago News bureau Bays
the banks are taking the Diamond
Match flurry very comfortably. Their
only anxiety seems to be to help cus
tomers. The basis -of bank loans on
Moore securities has been low for a
long time. Diamond Match has been
popular, but the banks understood that
there was a lot of water in it. The
anxiety of the banks is not so great
regarding Diamond Match loans, how
ever, as regarding New York Biscuit,
which was marked up from under 30 to
over par.

Salem. Or., Aug. 5. The report of
the expert committee, appointed to

with the county, which was given out
by the county court today, corrobor
i ii ted the Information before published
aud showed that besides the $1577 held
back in the First National bank, there
was $741 45 wholly unaccounted for,
The experts further said the accounts
were so badly confused and the methodt-
so poorely adapted to the requirements
that the office books would have to be
rewritten for the period of the treas
urer's incumbency. The treasurer
receipts for the special school fund and
taxes, amounting to $79,817, were not
entered on th6 book of receipts and
disbursements, nor was the payment
thereon, amounting to $32,114, entered.
Scrip Invalid.
Baker City, Or., Aue. 4. An opio
Ion handed down yesterday by Judge
Eakin, holds that $20,900 worth of
Baker county scrip is invalid and
Sheriff Kilburn aud Treasurer Jett are
enjoined from receiving the same in
payment of taxes pending an appeal to
the supreme court. The scrip affected
is that issued for work oti the court-
boude: also warrants issued for insur
ance of county buildings; for indexing
the books of the county; for the pur
chase of a poor farm; building county
roads and bridges in 1891 and 1893, and

Philadelphia, Aug 5. It U re

the United States this week raised a
fund amounting to $375,000. Part of
the money has been changed into gold,
and is on shipboard bound for Cuba,
where it will be placed in the hands of
the officers commanding the insurgent
army. The balance has been retained
by the heads of the junta in Philadel-
delphla, who will use it in a way that

The annual report of the commis
sioner, of internal revenue contains
some interesting figures. During the
past year there was a falling off of
7,413,129 gallons of distilled liquor as
compared with the preceeding year,
while there were some 4,000,000 more
gallons of fermented liquor consumed,
showing that the American people are
discarding distilled and adopting fer
mented liquors as a beverage. In the
matter of smoking, however, we are
retrogressing. The report shows that
in the past year there were 4,052,391,-
640 cigarettes consumed, an increase
of 14,897,850 more than there were the
year previous.

successful in its efforts in that direc
tion, but the withdrawals of gold for

'Unless all plans miscarry, the sil

which may be looked for August 10.
The skeleton In
many a household is
the peculiar weak
ness of the wife and
mother, or of the
wife who ought to be
a mother and is not.
Happiness is de
stroyed by the pres
ence of the secret
sickness that may
lurk like a grinning
death among the
most luxurious
homes. The most
terrible thing about
this condition nf nf-
fiiirs is that it Is entirely needless. There is
no reason in the world why every woman
in the world should not be stronir and health
ful and capable of fulfilling her whole duty
as a wife and mother. Many women go on
month after month, and year after year, be
coming weaker and weaker, because of a
very natural hesitancv thev feel in consult
ing a physician. They know that if they go
to a doctor for treatment, the first thine he
will insist on will be "examination" and
local treatment" This must of course be
distasteful to every modest woman. They
are generally as unnecessary as they are ab
horrent. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
cures positively, perfectly, permanently, all
varieties of "female weakness" and dis
ease. It is designed to do this one thing,
and it does it. It is the only medicine now
before the public for woman's peculiar ail
ments, adapted to her delicate organization
by a regularly graduated physician an ex
perienced and skilled specialist in these
maladies. It cannot do harm in any condi
tion of the system. Its sales exceed the
combined sales of all other medicines for
women.
Every woman will be healthier and happier for
following the menaiy, practical
counsel contained in Dr. Pierce's
great universal doctor book:
The People's Common Sense
Medical Adviser." It is the most
comprehensive medical work in
one volume in the English lan
guage. It contains 1008 paxes.

London, Aug. 5. Full details 01 the
adventurous voyage of fiarvo and Sam-
uelson in a rowboat which reached
Soilly last Saturday are published
Harvo Bays they left New York, June
6, at 5 P. M. Owing to strong winds
they were driven northward to the
banks of Newfoundland, and July 1
they epoke the schooner -Leader, and
requested tbe master to report them
all well.
July 7 they encountered a heavy gale
from the west, and had great difficulty
in keeping the boat free, as the sea
was continually breaking on board,
keeping one of them bailing. The
gale continued with more or less force
until 9 P. M., July 10, when a heavy
sea struck and capsized the boat, throw
ing them into the water. After a few
minutes they succeeded in righting
her and getting on board, and bailing
her out. All their provisions, anchor,
cooking utensils, signal lights and
several other articles which were not
Lvhed to the boat were lost. .After!
the accident they suffered severely
from the cold, having to remain in
their wet clothing.
Shortly after the weather moderated
and the wind continuing, they pro
ceeded eastward. July 15 they boarded
the Norwegian bark Cito, from Quebec
for Pembroke, and were supplied with
water and provisions, and again when
about 400 miles west of Soilly, July 24,
they spoke the Norwegian bark Eueu,
from Halifax for Swansea, and obtain
eJ from her a small supply of bread
and water.
Both men are in good health, and
look weather-beaten by long exposure.
They pulled two pairs of sculls during
the day and at night kept watches of
three and a half hour intervals, one
man pulling while tbe other slept.

Madrid, Aug. 6. (Copyrighted.
1896, by the Associated Press.)'
Trouble of a serious nature is being
fomented In Spain, particularly iu the
province of Valencia, by agents of the
Cuban insurgents. Tbe minister of
the interior, Senor Coseajon, yester
day replyiug to a question in the
chamber of deputies admitted that
riots had occurred in Valencia, caused
by the friends of the Cuban insurgent,
who hoped thereby to prevent the
departure of reinforcements of troops
for Cuba.
Hitherto the popular demonstrations
have been attributed to protests
against lmposllng new taxes, made
neceisary by the financial strain the
government has been subjected to,
through carrying ou the campaign
against the insurgents in Cuba, but
while the government is only willing
to admit that the riots have been insti
gated by the agents of the Cuban revo
lutionists, it is generally admitted that
the root of the trouble is much deeper
and that it is being nourished by a
natural feeling of alarm and dismay
at the apparent utter inability of the
government to cope with the situation
in Cuba.

Shots
Cleveland, Aug. 6. Between mid
night and 1 o'clock this morning a
crowd made an attack on the building
where a man named Johnson, employed
at the Brown hoisting works, lives.
They broke windows and yelled like
Indians. Soldiers rushed to the scene.
Part of the crowd scattered, but a
dozen men stood at bay with revolvers
and fired at the militiamen. The sol
diers replied with rifle balls. The men
then scattered.
In the melee Private Perkins, of
Company B, was shot, but it is not
Known how seriously. He was taken
away iu an ambulance. An official
statement at Colonel Whitney's head
quarters, is that Perkins was acciden
tally shot while loading a revolver.'
It is claimed by others, "however, that
he was wounded in the Luther-strcet
