Dyspepsia and Liver Trouble
“For many years I suffered almost con¬
stantly with dyspepsia complicated with
liver complaint. I tried first one thing
and then another and sometimes resorted
to regular medical treatment, but derived
®o substantial benefit. X read about Hood’s

The Sizes of Pearls.
Pearls are named according to their
size. The very large are called para¬
gon pearls; when the size of a cherry,
cherry pearls; medium are called piece
pearls; smallest, dust pi-arls; while
badly formed specimens are known as
baroques. The value of pearls varies,
of course, with the quality and general
colors, but the piece, seed, and dust
pearls always have a market price,
The cherry and paragon are sold on
;an entirely different basis. If many
fine ones are on the market at a time,
they made be had at reasonable rates.
Some years they bring almost any
price. The last two years, especially,
the dealers say, there has been a
great scarcity of fine pearls, although
there is no falling off in the supply of
the small stuff.
When a pearl exceeds one karat in
weight it is sold separately. Under
that weight they are sold in parcels,
and become less valuable as they be¬
come smaller. The smallest dust
pearls collected average about five
thousand to the Troy ounce, and are
at present rated at about nine dollars
an ounce. If, on the contrary, one
paragon weighing an ounce, or one
hundred and fifty carats, was on sale
it would bring any amount from thirty
thousand to two hundred thousand
dollars, according to quality.
.REGAINED HEALTH.
Gratifying Letters to Mrs. Pink-
iiam Prom Happy Women.
“I Owe You My Izife.”
Mrs. E. Woolhiskr,
Mills, Neb., writes:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I owe my
life to your Vegetable Compound. The
doctors said 1 had consumption and
nothing could be done for me. My
menstruation had stopped and they
said my blood was turning to water. I
had several doctors. They all said I
could not live. I began the use of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it helped me right away; menses
returned and I have gained in weight.
I have better health than I have had for
years. It is wonderful what your Com¬
pound has done forme.”
“I Feel Like a New Person.”
Mrs. Geo. Leach,
1009 Belle St., Alton, Ill., writes:
“ Before I began to take your Vege¬
table Compound I was a great sufferer
from womb trouble. Menses would ap¬
pear two and three times in a month,
causing me to be so weak I could not
stand. I could neither sleep nor eat, and
looked so badly my friends hardly
knew me.
“ I took doctor’s medicine but did not
derive much benefit from it. My drug¬
gist gave me one of your little books,
and after reading it I decided to try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound. I feel like a new person. I
would not give your Compound for all
the doctors’ medicine in the world. I
can not praise it enough.”
MONEY A CREATION OF LAW.
The Falsehoods of the Goltl Tru«t*« Free
Literature?.
The gold trust is flooding the coun¬
try with false literature. There is not
a fetish worshiper of gold, from Sher¬
man down to little Eckels, who does
not assume that bullion is money and
aigue that the most costly bullion is
the only material fit for coinage.
Some of the most distinguished hypo¬
crites or financial Idiots, as the Silver
Knight-Watchiftan classifies ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, ex-President Cleveland
and ihe loquacious Gage, speak of the
intrinsic value of gold. If they are
really so ignorant that they do not
know that the intrinsic qualities of a
■thing do not constitute Its value, they
must admit that everything having in¬
trinsic qualities will always be of the
same value so long as it possesses the
ftame intrinsic qualities, and that there
can be no fluctuation in the price or
value of commodities having intrinsic
qualities. It is only those blind teach-
ers who are employed for gold monop¬
oly that believe value is intrinsic in
anything.
The great masses of the people un-
derstand this question very much bet¬
ter. They recognize the fact that the
value of a thing is what somebody will
give for it; in other words, it. is what
it win fetch. They understand very
well that the price or value of a thing
is fixed and determined when two par-
ties exchange a commodity for money
or one commodity for another; and
that value is the comparative worth of
the two articles as estimated by the
buyer and seller in making a contract.
In the board of brokers the value of a
railroad stock is determined from day
to day by what the buyer will give and
what the seller will take. When tho
minds of the buyer and seller come to-
gether the price or value of a thing i 3
determined. This being the ease it is
insulting the good sense of intelligent
people for the great hypocrites of the
sold standard to assume and declare
tllat the value of gold is intrinsic,
which is equivalent to saying that if
all the mountains were gold an ounce
of gold would buy the same amount of
wheat as it now will. It would be well
if the country would treat these hypo¬
critical or idiotic teachers occasionally
to a cold bath and bring them to their
senses.
Free Coinage of Silver.
The phrase “free coinage” of silver
has no reference to the charges at the
mint on bullion deposited for coinage,
says the Silver Knight-Watchman.
Ordinarily the mints of the civilized
world have charged'' for converting
bullion into coin a sufficient amount to
pay the absolute cost. This charge is
ordinarily made for melting, refining
and preparing bullion for coinage.
There is sometimes a profit also in the
alloy used, the object being to make
the mint self-sustaining. There has al-
ways been a strong objection to mak-
ing a charge for stamping or coining
tne rne ' La ' after it has been prepared
for that purpose. When no charge is
made for the stamp and coinage it is
called “free coinage,” and inasmuch as
there has been generally no charge in
this country for stamping and coining
either gold or silver the term free
coinage can be properly used. In com¬
mon parlance we coinage
when a person can take his bullion to
the mint and have it coined into stand¬
ard money without any charge for the
actual coinage, and only a sufficient
charge for preparing the bullion for
coinage to pay actual expenses.
The popular use of the phrase “free
coinage of silver” means the unlimited
coinage on terms of exact equality with
the conditions applied to the coinage
of gold—nothing more and nothing
less. A person now having gold may
take it to the mint and have it coined
afier it is prepared for coinage with¬
out charge. He will be charged for
melting and refining, and the govern¬
ment may also make something on the
alloy, but^we call it “free coinage” of
gold. All we ask for silver is the same
kind of “free coinage,” which is un¬
limited coinage of the two metals at
the ratio of 16 to 1 without discrimina¬
tion against either.
Municipal Ownership.
The employes of the Brooklyn Bridge
corporation have short hours, fair
wages, and free uniforms. This is mu¬
nicipal ownership, The employes of
the Manhattan elevated have long
hours, scanty wages, and have to pay
high prices for their uniforms. This is
private ownership, These two eom-
pauies are fairly illustrative of sim¬
ilarly opposed conditions the world
over, and the people are almost con-
vinced. Scratch an opponent of mu-
nicipal ownership and you find an in¬
terested or salaried representative of
monopoly. But the people will soon
awaken and claim their own.—Charles
S. White in American Craftsman.
With the witnesses who were sum¬
moned to testify in the Hanna bribery
case, silence is golden.—Phoenix Ga¬

Woman’* F»tf.
From the Record , Bushnell, III.
No woman Is better nble to speak tooth er g
regarding “woman’s fate” thon Mrs. Jacob
Weaver, of Bushnell, Ill., wife of ex-City
Marshal Woavor. She had entirely re¬
covered from the illness which kept her
bedfast much of the time for five or six
years past, and says her recovery is due
to that well-known remedy. Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills.
Mrs. Weaver is fifty-six years old, and
bus lived in Bushnell nearly thirty and years.
She is of unquestionable veracity un¬
blemished reputation. The story of hor re¬
covery Is interesting. She says:
“I suffered for five or six years with the
trouble that comes to women at this time
of my life. I was much weakened, was un¬
able much 6f the time to do my own work,
and suffered beyond my power to describe.
I was downhearted and melancholy.
“I took many different medicines, Infnct,
I took medicine all the time, but nothing
seemed to do me any good.
“I read about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Palo Toople, and some of rav friends
recommended them highly. I made up my
