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.

ALL DISEASES of the blood ar ™ cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by its vitalizing, enriching, and akeratve affect* makes only PURE 31 OO 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 wafto basket I will write again in the subject of silver and cotton. G.

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 an.l beckoning to you fond parents to come up higher.

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.
