The Trne Story of the Inventlea ef Wilson's
Common Sense Ear Drums Told by fJt. H.
Wilson, the Inveator.
I vns deaf from Infancy. Eminent doctors
Burgeons and car specialists treated mc nt ereat
expense, and Vet did me no good. I tried aU the
artificial appliances that clulmcd to restore
hearing, but they (ailed to benefit mc in tho
least. 1 even went to the best specialists in tho
world, but their efforts wero unavailing.
Ay case was pronounced incurable!
crow desperate; my deafness tormented me.
Dully I was becoming more of a recluse, avoid
ing the compnnlonship of peopio because of the
Rncoyanceraydeafnessanu sensitiveness caused
me. Finally I began to experiment on myself,
and after patient years of study, labor and per
sonal expense I perfected something that I
found took the place of the natural eardrums,
and I tidlled it. Wilson's Common Senso Ear
Drums, which I now wear day and night with
perfect comfort, and do not even have tore-
move tnem wnen wasinng. wo one can ten 1
am wearing them, as they do not show, and as
they give no discomfort whatever, I scarcely
know It myself.
With these drums I can now hear a whisper.
I join in tho general conversation and hear
everything going on around mc. I can hear a
ecrmon orlccturo from any part of a largo church
or hall. My general health is improved because
ot the creat change my Ear Drums havo made in
my life. My spirits are bright and chcertul; I
urn a cured changed man.
oinV.o my fortunate discovery it Is no longer
necessary for any .deaf person to carry a trum
pet, a tube or any other such ord-mshloned
makeshift. My Common Sense Ear Drum is
built on the strictest scientific principles, con
tains no metal, wires or strings ot anv kind, and
Js entirely now and up to date in all respects. It
is so small that no one can see it when in posi
tion, yet it collects all the sound waves and fo
cuses them against the drum head, causing you
to hear naturally and perfectly. It will do this
even when tho natural ear drums are partially
entirely destroyed; penoraieci, scarred
your own town and slate, many whoso names
you know, and I am sure that nil this will con
vince you that the cure ol dealncss has at last
been bolvcd by my invention.

"We extend our sympathy to tho

"We are opposed to life tenure in

in the constitution. We favor ap

terms of office, and such an adminls

will afford equal opportunities to all
citizens of ascertained Jitness.
"We declare it to be tho unwritten
law of this republic, established by
custom and uaago of one huudred
years and sanctioned by the exam
ples of the greatest and wisest of
those who founded and have main
tained our government, that no man
should bo eligible for a third term of
the presidential office.
"The federal government should
caro for and improve the Mississippi
river and other great waterways of
the republic, so as to secure for the
Interior states easy and cheap trans

the government, such aid should be
extended upon a definite plan of con

them made effective through legisla

tho restoration of the country's pro?

of New York, submitted the following,
which was refused by the convention:
"To the Democratic National Con
vention: 16 delegates, constituting
the minority of the committee on res
olutions, find many declarations in
tho report of the majority to which
they cannot give their assent, gome
of these are wholly unnecessary. Some
are ill considered and ambiguously
phrased, while ethers' are extreme
and revolutionary' of the well-recognized
principles of the party. The
minority content themselves with this
general expression of their dissent,
without going into a specific statement

Vith my dovlco 1 can cure deafness in any
person, no matter how acquired, whether from
p.atarrh, scarlet fever, typhoid or brain fever,
measles, whooping cough, gatherings in tho car,
shocks irom artillery or through accidents. My
Invention not only cures, but at once stops the
progress of dcainess and all roaring and buzzing
noises, f hegreatest aural surgeons In the world
recommend it, as well as physicians of all
schools. It will do for you what no medicine
or medical skill on earth can do.
I want to pluco my luu page book on deafness
in tho hands of every deal person in tho world.
1 will gladly send it free to anyone whoso name
and address 1 can got. It describes and illus
trates Wilson's Common Senso Ear Drums and
contains bona fide letters from numerous users
in tho United Stutcs. Canada, Mexico, Englaud,
Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia, New Zea
land, Tasmania, India and the remotest islands.
I havo letters from ucopleln every station of
life .uinisters, physicians, lawyers, merchants,
society ladies, etc. and tell the truth about tho
benefits to bo derived from my wonderful little
device. You will 'find the names of peopio in
report of the majority; but upon tne
financial question, which engages at
this time the chief share of public
attention, the views of the majority
differ so fundamentally from what
the minority regard as vital demo
cratic doctrine as to demand a dis
tinct statement of what hey hold
as tho only just and true expression
of democratic faith upon the para
mount issue, as follows, which Is of
fered as a substitute for the financial
plank in the majority report:
" We declare our belief that the
experiment on th? part of the United
States alone of free silver coinage
and a change of the existing standard
of value independently of the action
of other great nations, would not only
imperil our finances, but would re
tard or entirely prevent tho estab
lishment of International bimetallism,
to which the efforts of tho govern
ment should be steadily directed. It
would placo this country at once upon
a silver basis, iirpair contracts, dis
turb business, diminish tho purchaiing
power of tho wages of lr.bor, and in
flict irreparable evils jpon our na
tion's commerce and industry.
" 'Until International co-operation
among lending nations for the coinage
of silver can bo secured wo favor tho
rigid maintenance of the existing gold
standard as essential to tho preserva
tion of our national cicdit, tho re
demption of oui public pledges, and the
keeping Inviolate of our country's
honor. Wo insist that all our paper
and silver currency shail bo Uept ab
solutely at a paiity with gold. The
democratic party is tho party of hard
money and is opposed to leal tender
paper money as a part of our perma
nent financial system, and we tnorc
fore favor tho gradual retirement and
cancellation of all United States notes
and treasury notes, under such legisla
tive provisions as will prevent uifduo
contraction. Wo demand that the na
tional credit sh til bo resolutely main
tained at all times and under all cir
cumstances.' "Tho minority also feci that tho re
port of tho majority Is defective in
failing to make any recognition of tho
honesty, economy, courage nnd fidel
ity of the present democratic admin
istration. And i-hoy therefore oficr
tho following declaration ns an
amondment to tho majority report:
'Wo recommend tho honesty, econ
omy, courage ond fidelity ol tho pres
ent democratic national administra
tion.' "
Tho main resolutions submitted by
tho minority wero rejected by more
than a two-thirds voto, and tho plat
form as reported by the commitleo
was adopted by the same vote. The
resolution indorsing the president was
defeated by a little less than two
thirds. 'The convention named as its candi
dates William Jennings Bryan of Ne
braska, and Arthur Sewall of Maine.
Tho "national" democrat mot at Ind
ianapolis in September following, is
sued a platform indorsing the gold
standard and named .Tonu M Palmer
and Simon B. Bucknei as their na
tional ticket. William McKinley of
Ohio, and Garrett A. Hobart of New
Jersey were tho nominees of the re
publican convention. 'I he platform
contained a plnnk favoring a protec
tive tariff, and a plank opposing free
coinage until foreign co-operation
could bo secured, but pledging the
party to promote international bl-l
metallism.
Tho people's party, generally known
as the populist party, met ai St. Louis
and adopted a platform containing
plank as the deino-
and indorsed and
democratic candidate
Instead of indorsing
the vice presidency,
named Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia for that office. The
silver republicans met at tho same
timo, indorsing the democratic ticket
and adopted a silver pmnk identical
with tho democratic plank.
Tho campaign aroused deep feeling
on both sides, and was warmly con
tested in the central states. It be
came apparent early in the cam
paign that the democratic ticket
would carry the western and south
ern states, and that -he republican
ticket would sweep the eastern states.
A very large vote was polled, the to
tal that year being nearly 2,000,000 in
excess or tne totai voto ul wur -am
before. The republican party secured
a popular plurality of 603,514. The
electoral vote stood, alcKInley and
Hobart 271; Bryan and bewail, 176.
Between 1896 and 1900 there was an
improvement in .ndustnal conditions;
an increase 'in the volume of money,
and a series of wars throughout tho
world. In 1898 the United States. ln-
the same silver
cratic platform
nominated tho
for president.
