Mothers
Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters. So many are cut off
by consumption In early years that
there is real cause for anxiety. In
the early stages, when not beyond
the reach of medicine, Hood’s Sarsa
parilla will restore the quality and
quantity of the blood and thus • give
good health. Rend the following letter:
“It is but Just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com
pletely run down, declining, had that tired
feeling, and friends said she would not
live over three months. She had a bad
Cough
•Bd nothing aeemed to do her any good.
I happened to read about Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla and had her give it a trial. Prom the
Vary first doee she began to get better.
After taking a few bottles she was com
pletely cured and her health has been the
bast ever since." Mrs. Addie Peck,
13 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. Y.
“I Will say that my mother has not
dated my case in as strong words as I
would have done. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
has truly cured me and I am now well.”

The Gold Standard.
Can it lie maintained by borrowing
gold ? Can the gold standard be
maintained by boirowiug gold ? Ob- 1
vtously not. Gold is riot wanted for !
use at home, and it is not borrowed
for that purpose. It is wanted for
export it is wanted to pay for imports
or for interest on debts our people
owe to other countries, for tho car
rying trade. When will the necessity
for borrowing for such purposes ends
manifestly only when we pay in some i
other way. The borrower does not
keep the money he borrows, he pays
it away. Borrowed gold never stays
in the country that burrows it. Con
ditions that make it necessary to bor
row gold will scud it out again as fast
as it is liberated. Gold stays only
where it goes of itself in the course
of trade. Gold will stay iu this
country only as it comes here in the
course of trade, and it will come here
in that way ou the one condition that
prices here are enough below the price
level of other countries to make this!
the best market to buy in that is, to
invest gold in. We can get gold and
keep it in no other wav. High prices
and the gold standard do not go to
gether, nnd they cannot both be had
at tho same time. The one condition
on which the gold standard can be
maintained is low price, that is, the
conditions under which gold will come
here of itself must first be created.
Nor can debtor nations maintain an
even price level with creditor coun
tries. I’rices must be lower with
us than in Countries owing no outside
debts. Besides e>porting enough to
pay for all our imports, the United
States must pay annually, ns interest
other charges, not less than $400,000,-
000. This must be paid with products
of some kind or with gold. The
United States can pay with products
only on condition that we will sell as
low as any other country, and we must
compete with all other debtor coun
tries for the privilege of paying in
commodities. The condition, there*
fore, on which the gold standard can
be maintained here is not only lower
prices than now, but prices lower than
iu countries not in debt enough lower
to induce our creditors to take of us
commodities for what the United
Mates owe them rather than demand
gold. No matter therefore, how
ruinous the fall of price? has neen,
nor what the consequences of a fur
ther fall may be. They must go a good
deal lower before gold can he made
to stay here, and until then the
United States will no' be in fact on
a gold basis. That is the cost of the
gold standard, and it can be bail at 5
no loss price. About 1893 the United
States borrowed $162,000,000 and af
terwards issued bonds for $100,000,-
000 more. All that has been bor
rowed lias gone front us, and will
there not be the same necessity to
borrow again when this is gone as at
first ? "Will the necessity stop at
$500,000,000 or at $1,000,000,000?
What will stop it? The truth is
every loan for such a purpose increas
os the necessity for more loans, : nd
there is no end but the limit of credit
aud that, of course, means bankruptcy
This is so plain a proposition that any
man can see through it Tho truth
is plain people know the attempt to
maintain the gold standard by bor
rowing gold is a blunder, and they be
lieve it is all working very near the
. . •** ° "
line of criminal blundering. Nor it
it possible to change this condition by
tariff. If prices of commodities that
must go to pay what tliu United
Slates owe abroad could be anil were
raised by tariffs above prices, for like
commodities in other countries then
our creditors would refuse to take
goods and demand gold, and if a pro
tective tariff cannot be made operative
on the things produced by half our
people it ought not to he made to op
erato in favor of the other half, or for
the benefit of one and the injury of
an*Mier. Tiiiiii'.-. lo bo justified. must
be made to cover our individual sys
tem as whole or not at all. Again,
the question of maintaining the gold
standard, or of keeping gold in this
country, is n, t one of revenue. If
twice as much revenue were collet ted
as is now paid in the Treasury, it
would have no effect on the outflow
of geld. Gold is net demanded at
the Treasury for internal ns* where
other currency serves every purpose
just as well as gold, and is more con
venient. Gold is wanted to pay debts
abroad where other cum hey cannot
be used. H would therefore be the
height of folly now that $250,000000
hare been put into the Treasury to
lie there idle to add to this idle hoard
by increased taxation, and thin mo.e;
It is not becanse of the existence of
greenback that gold goes out of the
country. It would go out just as
quickly and just as certainly if bank
notes took the place of greenbacks.
Nor would it make any difl'erence to
the business interests of the country
whether the gold that went abroad
was gathered first in the Treasury
and was then taken from there or
went directly, from the bank. The
question of the gold standard is at
bottom a question of price levels and
nothing else, and price levels do not
depend on the issues the paper cur
rency, or whether the value is made
up of bank noje.s or of Treasury notes
Some men say that they, nor any one
else, knows anything alrout the issues
of the day, a man in that fix is not a
qualified voter let a man loose confi
dence in himself and everybody else
He is a lost cat. If this escapes the

Little bill blown was born Feb
ruary :24th, 1894 and died May 18th,
1896, aged 2 years, 3 months and
24 days.
He was not with us long, but
while here he endeared himself to
every one with whom lie came in
contact.
Who could see him with those
pretty blue eyes and hear his sweet
childish prattle and not love little
Bill?
How well do we remember parting
with him on a bright Sunday morn
ing in April, how those chubby arms
were thrown around our neck and
that dimpled face pressed close to
ours and those beautiful bluo eyes,
always so bright but now dimmed
with tears because “Nannie” is leav
ing.
Again wo see him but oh! how
changed—it is night, light is burning
dimly the watcher* are moving with
nojseluss 'read about the hi use, we
are met by that faithful mother— who
nursed an.l cared for him so tendedy
and with so much anxiety—and she
tells us that her darling is at death’s
door, that sho is hoping and praying
he may be spared to her but she fears
he will never recover,
then we see the little sufferer but he
doesn’t greet us with out stretched
hands and a happy smile as has been
won! to do, but lies on his bed—so
sweet, so patient rod looks what lie is
not able to say that he is glad we have
come.
Only two days after this we arc told
that he is rapidly sinking and that we
wil soon have to close those precious
blue eyes m death and we find it to be
true.
God needed one [more little angel
and took the pet ol our household and
now with tlte other dear little ones
who have gone before he is chanting
praises around the great white Throne

come up higher.

TEACHER'S COLUMN.
DEVOTED TO THE INTER
EST OF EDUCATION
Communications for this Column
Should be Addressed to
J. P. Dendy, Homer.
We are sorry that we can’t get our
comments on the Institute in this issue
hut “Jim Dandy” will have something
foi next issue. He saved himself on
on Friday afternoon in order to fail up
that coluniti. If any teacher wishes
to subscribe for any of those school
Journals we will wait another week
before sending our report to pub
lishers. So if you want them and
havn't the c.-.sh on hand just send us
an order on our School Commissioner
payable out of the first cash due you
and the Journals will be forwarded
you at i.nec.
Yours most truly,
“Jin Dandy.”
“Wha l makes a school ?’’ asks a
contemporary. Our first thought for
an answer w.uld b-, the teacher. But
when we see how general is the legis
lation that puts the teacher info the
background, and makes most impor
tant the rules and regulations, it
would seem that the world at large
does not quite agree with us. And
yet, with all due respects to oemocra
cy, we still believe that the teacher
does make the school.
What is the remedy ? The remedy
is in placing the schools in the hands
of men aud women, who, In cause uu*
influenced by political or social in
Alienees, will see that only competent
inslructiors are selected. Cleveland
is trying to solve the problem of how
to eliminate all forces not legitimate
from influencing the appointment of
teachers in her public schools. The
papers have just said that the first
election after a four years’ trial lias
given 7,000 majority in favor of her
method. This fact may not prove
that the Ohio city has solved the prob
lem; but it is pi rtinent to say that if
it has, the well nigh only factor in the
solution is the placing of the selection
of all teachers in the hands of one
man the—tne superintendent— one
trained to do the work that school
boards are everywhere trying to do
with litter failure or indifferent suc
cess.—School Journal.
Go AS YOU IM.KASE.
The answer to this “go-as vou-pleasc”
fad of disorder iu the. school room, is
first; that reasonable B'lence and ordci
are essentll conditions of success in
every region of life. One can learn
to think and work, after a sort, in a
noisy school-room or a turbulent
household, ns he becomes partially tin
conscious of the crash and confusion
of a great city, a factory or a field of
battle. But nothing so surely blunts
the delicacy and, first confuses and
then wears out the functions of body
and soul, as the unconscious “bracing
up” against such demoralization. Sec
ond, —one of the most valuable les
sons of tho sihool-room is the art of
working together in childhood, aa all
adult people are compelled to work
together in life; each attending strictly
to his own business without iii'erfer
ing with his neighbor. An undis
ciplined schoolroom is the best train
ing sch. ol for graduating obstinate,
wilful, undisciplined youth, who must
change nil their habits of work to
achieve success in life. Tho clerk,
the mechanic, the operative, the dav
laborer, no less than the- expert in all
the higher positions in life, will lose
his hold on any situation, and finally
he cast out as impracticable, fay at
ivmptiing to live in tins Irnsy and in
volved society of ours, interfering with
everybody and neglecting his own
proper duty, as children are now per
milted and even c neon raged to do in
many of our “up to.date” schools.
Third;—The meanest kind of theft is
the wholesale and retail plunder and
sack of the precious time of children
and youth in an ill-regulated school
room. The average American child
gets but four y ears of school; practi
cally not a contiaous year of school
education, reckoned iu monts, weeks,
days and hours. To permit and en
courage the theft and waste of any
portion of this, or, as tn schools of
this sort, by the loss often of one-third
the working period of the day, on any
theorjf, is-a refinement of cruelty that
no scheme of education can excuse.—
Popular Educator.
