TITE MONETARY UNIT.
Hon. L. Bradford Prince, for
years governor and chief justice of
New Mexico, was in New York last
week. In an interview he said: "A
couple of months ago there was a
great discussion in Chicago as to
what was the unit of value under
the original coinage act of 1792,
which embodied the views of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Hamilton.
They made Inrge bets on the sub
ject, some contending that the unit
was in silver and some in gold,
and finally the matter was referred
at one of the clubs to Judge Vin
cent, who rendered a decision
which was no sooner made than it
was controverted.
"The joke is this: "That the
people of Chicago never thought
of looking at the coin itself to see
whether it said anything on the
subject.
"Now here," said the governor,
taking nut of his pocket two finely
preserved specimens of our early
coinage, "here are two silver dol
lars, one of 1795 and one of 102.
On the obverse of each is the word
'Liberty' and the date, on the re
verse 'U. 8. of America.' Now
look at the edo, where the milling
is placed on more modern coins.
What do you see? 'One dollar or
unit. Hundred cents.'
"If our Chicago brethren had
only thought of going to the coin
itself as a witriflB, they would have
sceu in a moment that the silver
dollar was the unit by this direct
statement imprinted in its very
substance.
"You know the nilver dollar
never varied iu weight in the
United States from the foundation
of the government to the demone
tizntiou in IHV.), wliou it was worth
l.Oil in gold dollars.
"When the cliaiigo in the ratio
was made in IS,') I, it was tlio gold
coin that was altered, not the silver
dollar.
"The latter was always tliu im-
mutablo Htandard of value til
htruck down by the monopoly
who desired a dihlioncHt, constantly
increasing singln stand-mi, iu lHTA,
When the 'unit' question collies
up ngain, just remember to look at
the coin iUelf."
while to do so in "the dull season,"
as he prefers to call the summer,
has no right to complaio if custom
ers are few and far between. No
season is "dull" except for thosp
who make it so by stubborn ad
herence to ideas that belong to the
stace-coach era. Salem States

it in the house for obb whenever I flt a
return of the old pains. It never fa'led
in giving me relief. The other memhem

wife for a feeling of general weaknesn,
she being at thnt time much 'run down'
and never feeling well enough to per
form the work of the borne. Within
week she war, an she expressed it, '
well as ever in ber life,' and similar re
ports came from all oar friends to whom
we bad reoommended it.
"I feel confident that in nervous head
aches and a 'ran down' system the com
pound will be beneficial every time, i(
not a perfect cure.
"In some instances we have not only
recommended it, but fumiehed it to very
aged friends, and the effect of one bottle
has seemed marvelous, one particular
old friend of mine telling me that before
one bottle bad been used be 'felt at least
10 years younger, and oertainly bad not
felt as good for 10 years.'
"During the lat five years I have used
a great many bottles of the compound
that Is, in my borne. I am positive that
it is a sure cure for nervous beadaohes
and a broken-down feeling, especially in
the cane of elderly persons.
"There is one case in particular I oall
to mind, in whioh Paina'i celery com

had a young marrlnd lady friend, who
was nursing her 4 months-old child, and
found that she could not perform ber
household duties on acooiint of the weak
ooiiditioii she arMm-d always to be in.
On the recommendation nf my wife and
myself film took one bottle nf the com
pound, end before two weeks bad paMtd
