United States Senator Millard
doubtless represents the feelings of Ne
braskans in opposing the proposed as
set currency legislation Better a
greenback or free silver currency than a
currency based upon bonds other than
those of tho UnitedStatesa currency sub
ject to expansion and contraction to suit
the whims of the gamblers of Wall street
The senator recently stated The peo
ple of the United States demand a stable
currency The moment that you put
back of a currency railroad bonds or
municipal bonds that moment you put
in the minds of the public doubt and
uncertainty And the moment the
doubt and uncertainty as to the future
is created that moment the people be
come restless and panics are sure to re
sult I believe wholly in an asset cur
rency but it must be protected by the
bonds of the government There is
nothing so sure or so certain as a money
backed by the integrity and honor of a
nation This has been well established
To make a change now in our finances
would be suicidal Lincoln Journal

exclusively the Scientific American
presents an authoritative account of how
we have outdistanced all other countries
in the production of iron and steel How
wonderful that development has been is
shown by the mere fact that in 1810
there were produced in the United
States but 5390S tons of pig iron and
that in 1902 tho total output of pig iron
passed far beyond th at of ou r nearest com

CnicAGO III Oct 7 1902
Eight months ago I was bo ill
that I was compelled to lie or sit
down nearly all the time My
stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently I
could not urinate without great
pain and I coughed so much that
my throat and lungs were raw
and sore The doctors pro
nounced it Bright 3 disease and
others said it was consumption
It mattered little to me what
they called it and I had no de
sire to live A sister visited me
from St Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle I believe that
it saved my life I believe many
women could save much suffer
ing if they but knew of its value
Dont you want freedom from
pain Take Wine of Cardui
and make one supreme effort to
be well Tou do not need to be
a weak helpless sufferer You
can have a womans health and
do a womans work in life Why
not secure a bottle of Wine of
Cardui from your druggist to
day
