A distinguished financier says:
The masses of the people in the Uni
ted States never were so rich as
they are today. The cotton, the
corn, the wheat, and the meat pro
duced this year and now waiting to
be marketed are of the value of
at least *10,000,000.600. and the
people who produced them are sub
stantially out of debt. There is a
demand for the great bulk of these
products in the United States, and
there is a demand for all we have to
spare in all the market® of the world
at extraordinarily high prices.
Rev. Thomas Clark, of Abingdon.
Va , “prophet, preacher and politi
cian.’'’ who foretold the eruption of
Mount l’eiee, the destruction of Gal
veston, Texas, and other calamities,
has made a prediction that the earth
will be destroyed early next year
and that men high in the councils of
the nation will shortly fall victims
of assassins bullets. lie also pre..
diets that there shortly will be an
other outbreak in the Philippines
and that New York City will be
partially destroyed by fire during
this month. This is as far as he
has been heard from, to date. It
has been the practice of “prophets”,
from time immemorial, “to destroy
the world,” at stated periods; but
this and thevprediction need not
alaim our subscribers, they can go
on paying their subscriptions as
heretofore, because, if this world is
destroyed, we shall go right on pub®
lishing the Democrat in the next,
provided we can find any printers in
heaven.
Present New Congress.
The first session of the Sixtieth
Congress of the United States con
vened in Washington, D. C., last
Monday. The new members of the
House include two miners from
Alaska; a Chicago stockyardman ot
notoriety; a professional telegrapher
who was getting $80 a month; Hob-
on, the hero ot the Mernmac inch
dent and an ardent advocate tor a
navy so large and. strong that we
can lick all creation; the youngest
member ever elected to the House;
and a young man from Tennessee
who won out on opposing the wear
ing of peek®a®boo waists. He an
nounced that if elected he would
introduce a bill making it unlawful
for womeu to wear peek- a-boo waists
and the assertion took so well and
humorously among his mountaineer
constituents that it took precedence
over all other “political” questions
and he was overwhehnnly elected,
the other candidate standing no
show at all against his peek-a>boo
“statesmanship”. Tennessee is evi
dently a fine field for political freak
ing. Bob Taylor fiddled himself
into office and in that way fiddled
out all the other political fiddlers.
It is expected, of course, that Con
gressman Griggs will make the
speech of his life when the peek-a-
boo bill comes up in the House; and
he might intioduce a bill himself
relative to the wearing of mother®
hubbards, in public. If congress
takes up the subject ot drees reform
there is a wide field for action.
When the joint debates come on
again next hot weather, Congress,
man Griggs could appear advan
tageously wearing a peek-a-boo in
stead ot a shirt-waist, or the Griggs -
Roddenbeiy joint-debate a’apaca.
Ninety- three is the number ot the
new members in the House. Twelve
of these have served in previ wie
congresses.

The country should be glad that
the Wall street gang brought on the

is in a condition to statid it Sup

The fever has got to run its
course and if the patient lias the
vitality and the staying qualities,
he will live—otherwise -well tbe
ruling dynasties will be called to
judgment, for many people have no
better sense than to attribute such
occurrences to extraneous political
causes.

Appropos of this, vide the fol
lowing:
“Who brought on the panic?’is
the absorbing top c now, every®
where.
“Not I,” says President Roose
velt; £ T did not do it, wielding my
big stick against illegitimate cor.
potations.”
“Not I,” says Governor Smith,
“I did not do it by blowing hot air
across the cotton fields of Georgia.”
“Not I,” says Tom Watson, “I
did not do it animadvertfng thro’
the big bazzoo against railroads, tbe
greatest developers of the age.”
And so on down the line, nobody
is responsible. It is just one of
those inexplicable, unfathomable
inheritances the people get from tbe
God of Chance.
*

These observations, however, seem
to us safe and sane and logical:
President Roosevelt, in a recent
letter briefly reviewing the financial
situation, c°lls attention to the laot
that crops are good and business
conditions sound and he urges the
people to put their money into cir
culation so as to meet the needs of
our abounding prosperity. He says:
“There is no analogy at all with the
way things were in 1893. On No
vember 30 of that year there was
in the treasury $161,000,000 in gold.
On November 16 of this year there
was in the treasury $904,000,000 in
gold. Ten years ago the circulation
per capita was $23.23. It is now'
$33.23 ”
*

The present financial flurry will
prove a blessing in disguise for the
country, as it will get business on a
sounder basis and more normal con.
ditions will prevail; that the legiti
mate business interests of the couns
try will be benefited, rather than
harmed, by the events of the past
lew weeks.

PROniNENT HOSPITALS 5AY
IN RELIEVING ALL CATARRHAL DISEASES.
One View of It.
An exchange says that it the
present stringency in money mat
ters had come after the first of Jan® j
uary, when prohibition goes into
effect in Georgia, the cause would at
once have been assigned to that
fact, and is inclined to the opinion
that the increased sale ot liquor is
largely to blame for the trouble, and
offers the following in support of
this contention: “Every liquor house
offers their stock by retail at whole
sale prices and the consequence is
that the whiskey drinkers are spend 1
ing every dollar they can get hold
of for the stuff. There has been
twice as much liquor sold in the
last few weeks m Georgia than for®
merly. One drinking man was heard
to declare that he has enough stored
in his cellar to last him tor twenty
years. Many of the overstocked
liquor bouses are almost giving it
away. From this it raav be seen
that when tbe liquor traffic flourishes
everything else, even to the money
market, goffers.”
HOSPITALS ALL OYER THE CONTINENT FIND PE-RC-NA VALUABLE IN TREATING ALL CATARRHAL DISEASES
C ATARRH of the respiratory organs
is a common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no donbt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Pernna was discov
ered by Canadian people to be a reliable
Temedy for these catarrhal diseases, it
at once became a popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruaa Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruaa for tbe past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy to say that it baa given us great
satisfaction.
Tbe Sisters ot tbe Good Shepherd,
August20,1903.
Montreal.
After a continued nae of the remedy,
this institution has found no reason to
change its good opinion of the remedy
and expresses its satisfaction in the fol
lowing terms:
Montreal, Nov. 7,1903.
We found Peruna a relief In several
cases.
We can say it Is a good tonic and we
are very thankful.
Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy—one that reaches
every internal organ of the body—is an
absolute necessity.
Pernna is just such a remedy. It
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.
One of the many hospitals which have
found Pernna of value in treating old and
obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital
St. John, who write, as follows:
“We are happy to teii yon that your
Pernna has given ns satisfaction. Three
patients have tried it, one 68 years old,
Renoni Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is
much relieved, more than he has been
for a number of years.
"A young girl, IS years old, bad an
obstinate cough, which half a bottle of
Peruna caused to disappear.
“As to myself, two bottles have con
vinced me that Pernna is magnificent
as a tonic.
“Before tbe treatment I codd not
walk for a quarter ol an War without,
experiencing much fatigue. Now I can
walk a mile easily.
“Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the ef
ficiency of your remedy.”
Hospital St. John, of St. Johns,
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
“ Three weeks ago I wrote to tell
you bow satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend ft highly for
colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia.
“1 have used it myself as a tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
a teaspoonful every half hour.”
Mrs. Etta Booker, Dundurn, Bask,
N. W. T., Canada, writes:
“I suffered with pelvic catarrh unfi’
I wrote to Dr. Hartman, and after tak
ing treatment a3 he advised, I can sa,
I am now cured of this most tryin
affliction, for which I am truly than*,
ful. I think Pernna the best medicine
for catarrh. I never felt better in my
life than I do at present.” $>
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage.
Of course, it is only reasonable to
suppose that a gToat deal less medioina
will be necessary to cure a slight attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after it had been al
lowed to become chronic.
