Bonds, Honda and Mora Bonds.
In 1905 the government will have to
meet an indebtedness of something like
1550,000,000, payable in coiu. The
word coin is construed by ex-Secretaiy
Foster and Carlisle, of the treasury, to
mean gold. Now as there is onl about
$650,000,000 in gold coin in the United
States, is it not preposterous to suppose
that the govern men t can hoard that
enormous amount in ber treasury, when
the indebtedness nearly equals the
amount of gold in the country? This
enormous debt was contracted when
"coin" meat gold and silver, and in jus
tice to the people the debt should be paid
in gold and silver. The past years finan
cial trouble is but a lorerunner of what
will take place when this debt becomes
due. There will be bonds, bonds, and
more bonds, unless the people unite this
all and overthrow the money oligarchy,
that is dictating our financial system.

Pyramid Pile Car Cures Piles
Quickly, Painlessly, Without
Danger
People go along for yeart suffering
with piles. Then try this, and that and
the other thing; from carrying a buekeye
to getting treatment from a physician.
They obtain temporary relief, tuaybe.but
they are never quite cured. A little
a strain in lifting, excessive fatigue, a
little constipation or a little diarrhoea
and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they banish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortably. There is is in
tense local pain and that dreadful feeling
of weight in the perineum.
Maybe iu the early stages some of the
many salves on sale will afford tempoary
relief. If the case is of long standing
there is only one speedy and sure rem
edy. It is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in
light cases it is the safest thing to use.
Other applications may cure and may
not. Py ramie Cure is always certain,
always reliable, always brings comfort
at once. . It's prompt use saves months
of severe suffering. In extreme cases it
will save surgical operations and their
attendant dangers and discomforts.
It is 'better than a knife. Will cure
easier, quicker and Bafer. Thousands
have used it. Thousands have been
cured by it. The cost is trifling compared
with what it does. The price is 50 cents.
Most anybody would gladly pay ten dol
lars to be rid of piles.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure. If
yours hasn't it he will get it for you from
the Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion, Mich,
(sole manufacturers.)

Street and the National banks milk her.
In the second one the cow is turned
around, but the farmers can get no milk,

A Good Hickory Club. ,
There ought to be a club to stand up
for Nebraska. That's all right. It
ought to be a hickory club about eight
feet long. And it ought to be wielded by
a lusty Nebraska farmer, and it ought to
knock into the middle of next week a few
hundred politicians and bankers who
have been responsible for bleeding the
farmers of the state for the last twenty
years. This is about all the club Nebras
ka needs just now. Exeter Enterprise.
fc. The Way They Got It.
The national banks first doubled their
wealth by buying government bonds
with greenbacks which cost them only
about fifty cents on the dollar. They
then had their wealth nearly doubled
by receiving back from the government
ninty per cent of the value of their bonds
in national bank currency. Since then
their wealth has doubled from interest
on the bonds which they deposited with
government and it has been doubled
again by interest on the national bank
notes received from the government. In
addition toall this their orignal invest
ment iu these bonds has been doubled for
the fifth time by the process of contract
ing the currency and making the dollar
in which the bonds are to be paid worth
twice as much us the dollar was worth
when the bonds were bought. Boone Co.

8TRAIGHrfOPOLIdr TALK-
The Scales Fall From a Biahop'i Ejei
and he Propheciei.
The growth of wealth and luxury,
wicked, wasteful, and wanton, as before
God I declare that luxury to be, has been
matched step by step by a deepening and
deadening poverty which has left whole
neighborhoods of people practically
without hope and without aspiration.
At such a time, for the church of God to
sit still and be content with theories of
its duty outlawed by time and long ago
demonstrated to be grotesquely inade
quate to the demands of a living situa
tion, this is to deserve the scorn of men
and the curse of God! Take my word for
it, men and brethren, unless you and I
and all those who have any gift or steward
shipof talents or means, of whatever sort,
are willing to get up out of our sloth and
ease and selfish dilettantism of service,
and get down among the people who are
battling amid their poverty and igno
ranceyoung girls for their chastity,
young men for their better ideal of
righteousness, old and young alike for
one clear ray of the immortal hope then
verily the church iu its stately splendor,
its apostolic ord , iu venerable ritual,
its decorous and dignified conventions,
is revealed as simply a monstrous and
insolent impertinence! Bishop Potter in

An Extremely Valuable Discovery
for Farmers.
No More Thin Corn Fields.
Mr. Frederick T. Krause has discov
ered a preparation that will prevent
gophers from pulling seed corn. It in no
way injures the corn but in a long series
of experiments it has been conclusively
proven that corn so prepared will grow
just as well as before. The receipt is
very simple; can be prepared at almost
no expense by every farmer. Gophers
will not touch it, and a good stand of
corn is always assured if you use this
preparation. Write for the receipt and

To Hade With It,
The effort to make the tariff an issue
in the next campaign has about petered
out. The tariff has been a chestnut for
more than a hundred years. It is so old
that it is bald headed and gray, and
should never have been anything but a
commercial question instead of a politi
cal one. To sheol with the tariff and let
it stay there. Denver Road.
What a Chump,
Suppose a man had a safe full of money
greenbacks, bank notes, silver and sil
ver certificates, but only a little gold.
And suppose a creditor should come in
with a thousand dollar claim and request
gold. Wouldn't the man be a chump to
hustle around town and borrow the gold
on, say, twenty years' time, at 4, or any
other Mr cent of interest? Uncle Sam is
doing this kind of business. Chicago

meeting of mutual insurance men held is
Chicago. It is worthy of consideration:
It is with regret that I aay to yon that
it is impossible for me to be at the drat
national meeting of mutual insurance
men. By your program I see that I am
to tell "How agenta shall be paid." I
would not dictate to older and more ex
perienced men how they shall pay their
agents, but by all means wonld advise
no strictly and pure mutual to pay
agents as old liners do, i. ., pay a com
mission on the amount of fees collected,
which in tnrn is in proportion to the
amount of insurance written for the fol
lowing reasons: First, because under
these circumstances the interest of the
agent is directly opposite to the interest
of the company and applicant, in fact
the relation of a so-called mutual under
such circumstances are the same as in
old liners.
Under the commission plan the agent
is induced to write all a man wants on
his bouse and then add some. The more
he gets him to write the more commis
sion, the more commission the less con
science, and when you get unconscien
tious agents in the field the company
will surely go to the wall, because such
men will find enough men who, like them
selves, are willing to go into the com
pany because they can insure their prop
erty in a way that in case of loss they
would not losse anything and perhaps
train thereby. And further I do not con
sider a company strictly and purely mu
tual, when the agent gets bis lee on com
mission, because he dare not tell all ap
plicants how much lees he gets, and right
there he fails to be mutual. It puts the
company, the applicant and agent into
a class each of, by and for himself with
out a particle of mutuality, which is pre
cisely the same as stock companies.
Mutual Insurance in the past has been .
so very successful that it has become
popular among those who have had the
most to do with it, (the farmers,) that
now city people are starting up with it,
wherever the law permits.
But that which is to be the most
dreaded is the so-called mutuals that are
starting up all over the country, under
the fostering care and directions of city
chaps that never earned an honest dol
lar iu tbeir lives, but under the popular
name of mutnal they originate some de
vice to fleece the unwary who has heard
that the mutual is just the thing but
does not know the fees of a purely mu
tual. These so-called mutual men will
hold up statistics of real mutual com
panies and then proceed to collect fees
enough to carry the applicant through
IS or 20 years in the real company, but
never telling the truth as to how much
commission he gets for his work.
Of course tbey must have some pre
text to base their inconsistency upon,
and usually it is a 20 year policy .never ex
pect to make an assessment or some
other fallacy. Sucn companies witnouc
exception, so far as we know, pay tbeir
agents by the poisonous commission
plan used by stock companies. If the
wOrd mutual is to retain its present good,
and fellow-feeling meaning among men
all companies using the name must pay
Iheir agents a stipulated sum for each
application that is approved by the sec
retary. I would recommend that agents
be paid a stipulated fee by the company,
not by the applicant, because when the
agent writes his neighbors application,
many times, the neighbor will pay all
but bis fees and will promise to hand it
to him, then at once set about to forget
the promise.
To recapitulate, I would recommend
that agents be paid a stipulated amount
Eer application out of the treasury and
e required to pay the secretary all fees
collected, thus unifying the interest of
the applicant, the member, the agent
and the company. Instead of paying a
commission to the agent, thereby mak
ing dissatisfaction with him wbeu he has
hud time to think that if he is overin
sured, others are also, and henc6 if the
other fellow is dishonest the company
will suffer and he will have to help foot
the bill. Hoping success will attend you
in your efforts.

Export of Horses Jiirrotslng. j
The export of horses from this coun
try to Europe has increased largely In
the last two or three years. During
the first eight months of last year 222,
755 horses, valued at 12,947,000, were
shipped to British ports, as against 15,
614 In the same period of 1894, and 10,'
177 In 1893. The shipments to conti
nental ports show a large increase, too.
The variety of horses In demand are
different in almost every country iu
Europe. Despite the astonishing fall
in the value of range horses in the west,
horse breeders in the south and east
think the future is very promising.
Deer In Town.
Residents of Willapa, Wash., don't
have to leave the town, or sometimes
the house, to shoot deer at this time of
the year. The snow drives the deer
down from the hills, and they frequent
ly wander into the streets of the town
and are shot. One was shot last week in
a back garden.
Our Product Abroad.
The people of foreign countries have
paid $190,000,000 for the animal and
cereal products of American farms dur
ing the last eleven months of 1895.
