JOHN O. RANKIN,
•Ml tor, PnblUher and Proprietor.
TBT3SDAY IfQBNEJS. MAT 17, 1s00.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, is
bein? mentioned as McKinley's
ruoping mate for vice president
on the Republican ticket.
Laboring men in New York
will ask congress to pass laws re-
stricting immigration and exclud-
ing Japanese cheap labor.
The Canadian troops in South
Africa are winning new laurels
for their deeds of daring in recent
engagements with Boerish troops.
CONGRESSMAN SULZER of New
York says that the Democracy of
the? Empire State is united and
that the State is safe for Bryan.
Department of posts in Havana
acknowledge a shortage of §75,-
000, and efforts are being made
to recover a portion of the swag.
The rush of fortune hunters to
Cape Nome has begun in earnest-
It ia said that at least 7,500 peo-
ple will sail from Seattle alone
this month.
The Nashville Banner consid-
ers Pingree's flop from Republi-
canism to Democracy an offset to
Sibfey'a flop from Bryanism to
Republicanism.
The Empress of China does not
tako, kindly to the "open door
policy" inauguarated by Uncle
Sam, and seems disposed to make
ugly faces about it.
Boss Hanna is said to be pre-
paring a course of lectures for
the tpecial benefit of Southern
Republicans. A good idea; they
need tough handling.
a hasty investigation of the
alleged postal frauds in Havana
indicates that the conspiracy to
defrtfud the Government,was sys-
tematic and widespread.
> It ia stated that the transporta
tion companies engaged in hand
ling the rush to Cape Nome have
already got $1,500,000 worth of
business contracted for.
NO party who persistently vio
lates the plain letter of the con-
stitution should be permitted to
remain in power in a free and
liberty-loving Country like Amer
ica.t
AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
The indications are growing
stronger that the coming cam-
paign will be one of aggreassion
on the Democratic party. Taking
the cue from the Republican state
conventions recently held in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and In-
diana, the issues delineated in
the respective platforms are with-
out exception a mere endorse-
ment of McKinley and the ratifi-
cation of hia policy of imperial-
ism. With the exception of Wis-
consin, however, which, while
declining to endorse his policy,
demanded his renomination. The
fact is, that so far as the Repub-
lican party is concerned, it has
no issues to present to the people.
It merely presents itself to the
public as a party of imperialism,
a party of trusts and a party
which has foisted upon the nation
the moat infamous currency bill
ever accepted by any nation in
the world. Under such circum-
stances what can the Democratic
party do but be aggressive? Mr.
Bryan, the great leader of the
Democracy, insists that the issues
are money, trusts and imperial
ism. In spite of the fact that Mr,
3ryan is misquoted and misin
tsrpreted on all occasions, his
ist utterances to the public are
,) the effect that money, trusts
and imperialism will form the is-
sues to be fought in the nationa
campaign. The Republicans make
no issue upon the trusts, it hav
ing been determined all along by
Mr. McKinley and Mark Hanna
that nothing whatever would be
done to injure them. So far as
imperialism is concerned and the
utter and absolute violation o*
the organic law expressed in the
constitution, they are proud of it.
Even Senator Hoar, with all his
learning and fear that such a
policy will destroy the republic,
will stand by his party in con-
tinuing the destructive policy of
imperialism, should McKinley be
re-elected.
The money question is all the
more absorbing and essential be-
cause it is, so to speak, the base
of the issues of imperialism and
trusts. Take from the bankers
of the country, who represent the
money power, the absolute con-
trol of the money of the people,
and the problem of the trusts and
that of imperialism would soon
be solved. The people are be-
ginning to understand that by
giving up to the money power
the one great essential in their
personal and social affairs, to-
wit, the creation and control of
their money, they have saddled
themselves with the other two
branches of the question. Hence
it is that the money question is
all important, and this is the
reason why Mr. Bryan has often
indicated that he could not aban-
don it even if he would. It is
immaterial whether the money
question be called "the silver is-
sue" or not, it ia still the same
question, control of the circulat
ing medium by the government
and the creation of money for the
benefit of the people and not for
the enrichment of a special class.

Experience has shown to physicians
that the majority of diseases fiave their
origin in the derangement or disease of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
tion and nutrition. The stomach is the
receptacle in which food is received and
the laboratosy in which it is prepared to
nourish the different parts of the body.
It prepares brain nourishment in one
way, nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another. When
the stomach is "out of order" these
various forma of nourishment are only
partly or imperfectly prepared, and
nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case
may be, ia only partly fed, and the reac't
ia pain, which is Nature's protest and
wanting. The pain may be in the head
or ia the beast, but yon must reach it
through the stomach or yon can't cure

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
