The democrats are trying to make tho farmers discontented because they are paying a little more- money for their wire nails and wire fencing. Of course they never point out to tho farmer that his ;c.tra profit this year on two or three bushels of corn will pay for any increase in the pi ice of a keg of nails, and that his profits on all his farm product!) in this year alone will pay for many tunes the cost of his barbed wire, besides leaving him a handsome surplus to put in the batik or pay off his mortgage. It is a strange faculty the democrats pc ssess not to ( see the bright side of an thing , In all human reason the states that ( njected fiee coinage four yeatsago will do it again in November, audi there aie statis that supported it lie foie that regard it of a lost and do setvedly beaten issue. All the argu ments upon which it was urged four years ago have bein disproved. The gold standard is an accomplished fact based upon a splendid prosperity. In every continent the drift has been away from silver as a financial stand ard. Tho world has coased to think of it Hut the democratic party Is chain ed to it anew ugainat its better judg ment. Tho false step of four year.' ago has led to another that is worse, and which, from the standpoint of sober reason, must bo regarded as suicidal. Blood Troubles: Cancer, Scrofula, Old Sores, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to follow. Sonic poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop ami be taken into the circulation.
