Tills Htatcment Is so often made, and
so persistently dinned Into our ears hy
men who wo would suppose had Rot
the statement from olllelal sources,
that we cannot wonder that many
very Intelligent people believe It.
This statement was thrown at me, nt
the state house the other day, hy n
gentleman who said ho had the slit
tlstlcs to prove It. This I denied, and
called for his statistics which he
failed to Hud. This sent me lo the
o'llclul record, in published In the re
port of the conimltieo of the U. K.

world's production was nearly 3 dol

the "parity" was not materially dis
turbed. Why? Because the "mil

gold to tho mint, and have It coined (

gold produced nt parity.
Taking both periods together, tho
42 years from 1851 to 1802, Inclusive,
tho world's production was:

For each $1 In silver the wholo
world produced, It produced $1.11 in
gold. And yet men possessing some
degreo or Intelligence, luivo tho col
lossal assurance to tell us, that It Is
"over production" or silver that has
caused Its duel I ne.
For tho uoxtporlod-1871 to 1802-22
yearstho world's production or theso
metals was:
Gold
Silver
$2,31,000,000

Averngo annual excess
of Kllvnr. over irolil
production 4,000,000
Of tho wholo product, gold was 40
percent., and silver 501 percent. It
will thus bo been that for this last 22
years, tho production or gold and sil
ver, ro-colned at 10 to 1, was substan
tially equal. Tho excess or silver pro
duction over gold, was only $1,000,000
annually, against an oxcess or gold
production over silver, during tho
(oriner period, or ovor $73,000,000 an
nually, Tho excess or gold In tho
former period, was 45 por cent, of
each dollar. Tho oxcess of sliver In
tho latter period, was oulv 1 fi-0 per
cent, of ouch dollar.
Vpth freo coinage or both metals,
an oxcess or $1,380,000,000 gold produc
tion, 1U two decades, did not cause
gold to depreciate. With what rea
son, then, can wo say that an oxcess
of dllvor production or only $88,000,
000 in 22 years, Is tho cause or tho de
cline or silvery
If an annual excess or ovor 73,000,
000 of gold did not send gold down,
how can wo bellcvo that an annual
oxcess of only $4,000,000 of sliver, Is
Bunicient to account for tho great de
cline of silver?
If tho production of nearly $3 of
gold to $1 of silver, did not produce a
decline of gold, with what reason can
wo assert that now, a production
of $1.03 of silver to $1 of gold, has
prjKlurod'.h decline (if SO per cent; In

to .ay silver has depreciated, than to

necessarily resulting from demonetiza

A Question Answered.
Can tho Government refuse to nay
- -
100 cents on a tratlo dollar,
The trado dollar has been utterly
repudiated by tho United States. It
will not redeem them, and has de
clared them not to bo legal tender.
The trado dollar Is an object lesson In
showing tho effect or a declaration, by
the Government, making n coin legal
tender. Tho trado dollar contained
more grains or pure silver than tho
standard stiver dollar. It Is contended
by gold advocates that what gives a
dollar valuo Is tho material contained
In It, and that tho legal tendor fest
turo has nothing to do with its value,
It would bo Interesting to liavo a gold
man explain how It Is tlmt a trade
dollar, with more pure silver In it
than a standard silver dollar, but not
legal tender, docs not circulate at all,
and Its value Is simply tho valuo or so
much silver bullion, whllo the stand
ard sliver dollar containing less grains
or pure silver than tho trado dollar,
but declined by tho Govcrnmont to be
frill and unlimited legal tender, circu
lates, not at Its bullion value, which
they claim to be about 53 cents, but
at its nominal value, viz.: 100 cents.
Tho history of the tiado dollar Is an
unanswerable argument to show that
what gives value to money Is Its legal
tendor quality taken In connection
with Its volutin). As long as the trado
dollar was a legal tender to the extent
or $5 It circulated sldo by side with
tho standard silver dollar and with
gold money.
One reason why women are ao gener
ally troubled with some derangement of
the distinctly feminine organism is that us
girls they learn nothing about their own
physical make up, l'arcnts are waking up
to the importance of education of this kind,
and young women ore becoming more and
more able to take care of their health.
Carelessness in girlhood causes the great
est suffering and unhanplness in after life.
Little irregularities and weaknesses in girls
should be looked after promptly and treat
ment given at once. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription promotes regularity of all fern,
itiluc functions, makes strength and builds
up a sturdy health with which to meet the
trials to come. The "Favorite Prescrip
tion" is not a universal panacea. It Is
good for but one thing. It is directed
solely at one set of organs,
"I live ben a sufferer from 'female weak
ness' for fix years. I grew werse: had sever
cutting pains In lea orary, also la left side ani
stomach. The pain lu ltd aide was constant. I
woutd have light spasms previous to monthly
utter from severe aorenrts all over and ould
bear nothing to touch tue, I also suffered from
severe headaches; burning pressure ou brain
which almost caused roe io be Insane. I could
not lay my head down without smothering, My
face was poor) eyes looked deaJi waattd in flesh.
I was coustlpated and suffered severe pain when
bowela would act I could not eat for tho full
ness tn region of stomach. I had tried three of
lite nest aoctors here- nut tney only gave me tem
porary relief I had given up all hope of ever
the best doctors here but they only gave me tern
ttorarv relief I had elveu un all hone of evei
getting well again. At last I concluded to give
ling wen again, At law i couciuueu io give
Pierce's Favorite l'rrscrintlon a trial. I have
Dr.
tak
taken two bottles, one of the 'Golden Medical
Discovery ' aud one of ' Pellets.' I have not felt
any signs 01 uiy old disease; headache all couei
me use regular without ache or pain. Indeed I
feci like a ucw person." Yours truly.
