The nosey Craze Aq.iIs Looks lp Serenely
Only to Be Relegated to Oblivion
Like In Crecarxer.
Many things have happened In the
history of the world whlnh almost rrtak.
one lose respect for his kind and faith
In human nature. The erases which
have taken possession of whole com
munlties, nay, even almost whole ns .
Hons, are hard to account for on any
theory of common sens.
One of the most noted of such erase
Is known as th. Crusade. These con-
slsted of different expeditions from
Europe to the holy land, the account
of which, as handed down In history.
la almost Incredible. Thousand of
poor people, rabble and children, as
well as knights and soldiers, undertook
these joumles. Of course they perished
by the hundreds, only a comparative
few ever living to reach the border
of Palestine.
A great business speculation which
took place in our own colonial times,
known as th "South Be Bubble," was
another Instance of such erases; when
the world seemed to go topsy-turvy,
and thousands of people lost their rea
soning faculties, only to And them
again after being landed on the shore
of utter bankruptcy. In England they
have Just had an experience some
what similar to the South Sea Bubble,
In the African mining speculation. In
which thousands of poor people have
been reduced to abject poverty, and
many well-to-do people have become
poor for the balance of their live.
The foundation and moving force of
these speculative crazes is avarice
the desire to be suddenly wealthy, with,
little or no exertion. This desire i
common to all mankind, to a certain
extent but experience and common
sense teach us that things don't hap
pen that way. In the instances cited,
however, certain condition prevailed
which made a foundation to work up
on, and the movement once started
under skillful management the weak
side of human nature was soon com
pletely undermined, and the people fell
easy victims to the craze, which thus
became epidemic.
Now it appear that the coming presi
dential election Is developing a erase
a marked, and which may result aa
disastrously a any of those named.
The Demopopocratle, Free Silver and
general Socialistic movement is cer
tainly one of the most unaccountable.
unreasonable and senseless erase
which ever occurred at any time or In
any country. We have been In the
habit of flattering ourselves that the
United State of America Is the top
notch nation of the world; that her
citizens are as intelligent patriotic and
honest as can be found In the uni
verse, and that they are In favor of
good laws, good government, good
money, and good times, based on a
solid foundation. Instead or which we
find at least a good-sized minority of
them boldly and vociferously advocat
ing untried, socialistic and revolution
ary methods of government, with the
demand for the unlimited coinage of
silver at twice Its commercial value
the main issue of the campaign.
The greenback fiat craze had its day
a few years ago, and waa supposed to
be dead. Any intelligent ten year ol3
boy ought to know that the Idea Is en
tirely false, but behold, it rise up
again with new life and new vigor.
The fact that 15 or 18 ounces of silver
were at one time worth as much as one
ounce of gold has nothing to do with
the question; but It la useless to here
argue the case, it has already been
argued and discussed time and again.
and argument seems to do no good
with a man aflicted with a craze.
The Spartans, we are told, used iron
for money, but they never attempted
to coin a small piece of iron and say
it should absolutely be made to pass
for any specified sum. They simply
used the metal at its commercial value.
They were honest, if their circulating
medium was inconvenient; but what
shall we say of the men who want a
certain piece of silver to circulate for
a certain sum of money whether it la
worth that much or not?
Thu camel Is a beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts It until
the proverbial "last straw" is added to
its burden. The human digestive sys
tem is very much like a camel. It is
really astonishing how much abuse it
will stand. Sometimes, however, some
thing worse than usual will be eaten,
and will go through the stomach into
the bowels, and there it will stick
that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all
human sickness is due to constipation.
Some of the simplest symptoms are
coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi
ness, heartburn, flatulence, sallowness,
distress after eating, and lassitude. A
little thing will cause constipation, and
a little thing will relieve it. Dr. Pierce'
Pleasant Pellets are a certain cure
for constipation. They are tiny, sugar- '
coated granules, mild and natural in
their action. There Is nothing injurious
about them. Sold by druggists.
