It is said that France has no
desire to provoke the ill will of the
United States. Well, of course
not. It would not be healthy for
her to do so.
Great Britain now has an
army in South Africa sufficiently
strong to accomplish important
results, but there seems to be a
shortage in competent comman-

Gov. Roosevelt, of New York

^ Tax answer of Mr. Bryan to

of the maps
the gold crisis.
Every shipment of gold out of
the United States adds a link to
the already strong chain of evi-
dence that the gold standard is a
weak thread on which to hang the
material and personal welfare of
the nation, and too narrow an
edge upon which to balance hu-
manity.
That England is drawing upon
us to provide for her expenditures
in South Africa, at the rate of
nearly a million dollars daily,
ought to open the eyea of Ameri-
can citzena to what may become a
situation of positive danger. The
administration organs boast that
we are heavily supplied with
the yellow metal, but with the
heavy drain going on, our supply
cannot last much longer, and
then what? The United States
is occupying the anomalous posi-
tion of the world's storehouse 0
gold, and every nation ia drawing
upon us for auppliea, indeed there
is nowhere pise for them to go.
Why should a war with which
we have nothing whatever to do
throw our own money market, as
well as those of the whole world,
into confusion? In every great
money center—London, Berlin,
New York—there is a money
stringency and the greatest ap-
prehension of gold famine. More-
over, this condition of the money
market is necessarily seriously
affecting every branch of busi-
ness.
Edmund Thery, in the Paris
Matin, declares upon the most
infallible figures that the embar-
rassment in the English money
market is just beginning, and
that gold is bound to advance in
price all over Europe. A truly
singular thing to say of a fixed
money standard. Between 1890
and 1899, he says, France, Aus-
tria, Spain, Italy and Russia have
been hoarding gold, until at the
present time nearly one thousand
millions in gold are praotically
"prisoners of state," held with-
out any possibility of relieving
the English market.
In spite of an alleged output of
the world's gold, amounting to
8300,000,000 in 1899, the Eu-
ropean money stock has been
diminishing for three years past.
Nine of the principal countries of
Europe have decreased their
money stocks from eight billions
of francs in 1897 to seven billions
in 1899, and the contraction is
still going on.
M. Thery does not include the
United States in his investigation,
but all things considered, this
country stands in a worse condi-
tion than' the countries mention-
ed, for the reason that we must
part with our gold at the demand
of England and she now demands
it in such quantities that unless
peace be declared by the end of
February, 1900, a crisis of gold
will be upon us, and not even the
present currency bill can save the
nation and the world from a
panic, heightened by the persis-
tence in using the standard metal,
gold, as the main merchandising
element in our financial affairs.
When the full meaning of the
gold standard shall break upon
the intelligence of the American
people, it will appear as the most
damnable conspiracy against hu-
manity that was ever devised.

A WORD OF CAOTION.
The old saying that " a man, who is
naked can't >ove away his shirt," is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got. The man
can't give "free medical advice," or any
other kind of medical advice who hasn't
got a medical education and a certificate
to the fact, in the form of a diploma.
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In-
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y„ has been imitated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "medical
advice'' that a word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a phy-
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors Bp
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there i» just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these "artists" reaer.
ally paint copies of the works of great
artist* like Millet. There was only one
Millet
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institutes such as Dr. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to Dr. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
leaser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
the distressing forms of disease
to women, is invited to con-
Pierce, by letter, free. Such coo-
are absolutely private. Each
rested as a sacred confidence,
M sent ia s plain en-
upoe it
and
English greed has brought us to
the pitiable condition that the
slightest relaxation of her con-
trol over the world's gold brings
financial disaster and ruin. This
is accentuated by the present
makeshift of the currency bill,
which plunges the nation deeper
into the slough without furnish-
ing a way of retreat.

Chamberlain's Cougli Btnitdj Always
Proves Effectual.
There are no better medicines on the mar-
ket than Chamberlain's. We have u»ed the
Cough Remedy when all others failed, and in
every instance it proved effectual. Almost
daily we hear the virtues of Chamberlain's
remedies extolled by those who have used
them. This ts not an empty puff, paid for at
so much a line, but is voluntarily (riven In
good faith, in the hope that suffering human-
ity may try these remedies, and like the
writer, be benefited. — From the Glenville
