To be candid, it is not easy now to 3ay
what either the republican or demo

Jason L. Claflin, editor of the Ord
(Neb.) Journal, commenting . on the
Springfield convention, says: "This
simply means that if populists, who
believe tiu the principles enunciated
by that party, will stay together,
they may yet become great."
' Alfred Pont, of the Stanton (Neb.)
Register, believes "the populists made
a great political blunder when they
called their national convention for
July 4. Other years, early conven
tions were necessary, but this year, of
all times, the convention should have
been late, September 1 for instance.
With the democratic party undergoing
a great struggle that will probably re
sult in much dissatisfaction, and the
republican party without a leader, a
waiting policy was the only one that
was right. Politics is in a chaotic
condition now and will not change
until the two leading parties have
held their conventions. J. Harley Ed
mistenand" Jo Parker as self-constituted
leaders of populism are doing
fine work in completely burying the
. remains of the populist party."
Old Guard John A. JJarker, editor
of the; Franklin (Neb.) Sentinel, re
marks that "by the action of their
national committeemen populists are
bound to support only straight pop

One's efforts may be restricted to the

product with safety, only when facili

medium of exchange cannot be di

out inflicting on civilization calam

A medium of exchange is due so
ciety from the government. Govern
ment does, today, produce all money,
but it is not producing it for society.
Money Is a government product ex
clusively. Every effort is made to
deter individuals from its production.
But instead of producing money for
society directly, government produces
money only for those who make it
their business to control money.
Society is not permitted to buy mon
ey originally, but Is required to &o in
debt for it to government favorites,
who are made accountable to no one
for withholding it from society at
their pleasure. Some may think they

HON. W. H. PARSONS.
W. II. Parsons is Ex-State Senator and Ex-Special Judge of the Supreme
Court of Texas, also Brigadier-General in Confederate Army, In a recent
letter from 925 H St eet, W, Washington, D. C, this prominent gentle
man says:
"Upon the recot emendation of personal Mends and many strong testi
monials as to the 4 fficacy of Peruna in- the treatment of the numerous
symptoms ofthegri pe with which I have been afflicted for four months
past, i have been induced to undergo a treatment with this justly cele
brated formula. 1 1 via decided change for the better after using ft only
one week. It is esp dally good In toning up the stomach and has had a
decided effect upon my appetite. I therefore feet much encouraged that I
am on the road to ct mplete restoration.
"My numerous friends In Texas, where I have had the honor to com
mand a brigade ot tier Veteran Cavalry in a four years' war, may accept
this voluntary testli lonial to the merits of Peruna as a sense of obligation
on my part for its w mderful efficacy. " W. If. Parsons.
There is no remedy ii the world that I soothes while it stimulates, heals as it
meets the conditions produced by la ! expurgates. Peruna is not a purgative,
grippe better than the remedy, Peruna. I or cathartic, or sedative, or stimulant,
Peruna strengthens as it renovates, I nor a vegetable or mineral poison. It
reaches the sour e of all diseases of the
mucous membra ies by its action on the
vaso-motor system of nerves.
Every person who has had la grippe
during the last y.ar should take a course
of Peruna. No one need expect perfect
recovery unless they do so. The grippe
has produced catarrhal inflammation of
the whole mucous membrane, and good
health is impossible until these are
restored to a normal condition. This
Peruua will do. A great many reme
dies have been suggested for this con
dition from time to time, but Peruna
appears to'be the only remedy that has
any substantial value in these cases. It
has never failed-to give satisfaction
during forty years' experience and still
occupies the unique position of being
the leading (if not the only) specific rem
edy for the after-effects of la grippe.
Henry Distin, the inventor and maker
of all the band instruments for the
Henry Distin Manufacturing Co., writes
the following from 1441 South Ninth
street, Philadelphia. Pa.:
"I had a bad attack of' la grippe last
December which lasted more than three
months, and which left me with catarrh, ,
and several of my friends advised me to
try Peruna. I began with a bottle the
first week in March and it certainly did
me a great deal of good. I was 60 well
satisfied that I purchased another bottle
and followed the directions, and can say
that it has cured me." Henry Distin.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Ilartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
