CHICAGO , Oct. 9. Secretary of Agricul
ture .1. Sterling Morton tpoko at
the Auditorium tonight under the
auspices of the Sound Money league. The
hall was filled to the extent of Its seating
capacity , and when Secretary Morton ap
peared upon the platform ho xvns greeted
with loud and enthusiastic cheers. Ho
' .van Introduced by1 David U. Jones of the
Bound Money league , who paid a flattering
tribute to the secretary ns n politician nnd
a man ,
Ileforc beginning his address , Secretary
Morton announced that an invitation had
boon aont tol'rcsldcnt Cleveland , requesting
his presence at the meeting. Mr. Morton
then read the incident's letter regretting
Ills Inability to bo present , which was as
follows :

DEFINES MONEY AND CAPITAL.
Secretary Morton spoke ot Chicago as
the biggest wholesale market for farm
products In the world , a city where
"finance for the farmer oufiht to ho thought
about nnd dlacusscd. " Money , hoi ud , was
merely a measure of value' and a mediator
of exchanges , and a dollar with too much
purchasing power wns as Impossible as a
square meal with too much nutritive power.
Capital he defined as money saved to put
Into business to reproduce Itself. Ho maile
the statement that the statute can no more
flx the purchasing power ot a coin than It
could flx the price ot corn and wheat. All
that legislation can do for currency Is to
confer upon It the power to liquidate debts.
Its vnluo In liquidating debts depends upon
demand and demand depends upon desire.
If gold were stripped of Us legal tender
quality demonetlzodgold _ would be preferred
by n creditor to legal tender silver. ,
After attacking the popullstlc orators for
Inciting ; the poor against the rich and point
ing out that the rich men ot today wcro
the poor men of a few years back , ho turned
his attention to the alleged "discontented
and distressed farmers. " Ho said : "Eructa-
tory orators gay all this comes from the un
satisfied demand for moro money
ami bigger prices for farm prod
ucts. But these economic oracles
confound terms and make desire and
demand synonymous. Nearly all men desire
moro money. But no man can uiako a law
ful demand for moro money except he offer
some valuable In exchange therefor. "
After giving some figures on the values of
farm products of the United States Mr. Mor
ton said :
MONEY AND PRICES.
My views are thoroughly In accord -with
those expressed by J. Schoenhof In hu > very
valuable book on "The History of Money
nnd Prices. "
The quantity of money In circulation
docs not determine prices of products and
commodities. Prices go up or go down be
cause of Inherent qualities In commodities.
The conditions regulating prices arc deter
mined by the forces encaged in production
and distribution. Manufactured articles
have declined In prices during the last flvo
years on nn average of about 30 per cent.
This decline Is the result of economy In
production. Science has made labor more
productive. The yield per day of Individual
effort , In many branches of agriculture. Is
three , four and ten times that of former
periods. Yrt wages have doubled nnd
sometimes trebled , while the purchasing
power of money 1ms been either stationary
or Increased In a much Ictw degree. Prices
have declined and wages risen logically be
cause of this development ot Improved
production. High wages nnd low prices are
copartners. They faithfully represent the
increased skill nnd productive power of the
wage-earner.
Farm products have also declined In price
because , through Improved Implements ,
machinery and cheapened transportation ,
new and vast areas of fertile lands have
been opened to tillage. Steamships and
railroads have brought In contact with the
central markets of the world the farm
products or Australia , the Argentine Re
public , Russia and India. Transportation
by water and by rail has been reduced to
11 minimum cost. Consequently , food sup
plies from producing dlstilcts are crowded
into consuming populatlonal centers from
every quarter of the globe. Thirty years
ago those centers wcro supplied from only
two or three sources. And yet the fall In
the prices of ugrlculturnl products has
hardly been HO great proportionately dur
ing that period of time ns the decline in
the prices of manufactured articles ,
The fallacy of the popullstlc claim that
the decline In prices Is duo to the demone
tization of sliver Is easily exposed by re
cent commercial history of the United
States. It the populist claim bo founded
upon fact , that the demonetization of sli
ver lessened the circulating media and BO
caused- the decline In prices , then there
ehould have been an immediate and Im-
iiiQiise rise In prices following the resump
tion of/told payments In 1879 , because from
JSG2 to 1S79 all metallic currency , except
the gold circulating on the Pacific slope ,
had been entirely out of use In the United
Htntps. The coin in this country , including
bullion In ltho treasury , amounted In the
year of resumption to 1102,047,002. And that
amount. In thirty-eight months , more than
quintupled , nnd In 1SS1 reached the enor
mous sum of $ jl7SGS.CS2. 'The total stock of
all kinds of money In the United States In
1S7S amounted to only J729.132.G13 , while In
IbSt the money In circulation in this coun
try amounted to 11,114.238.119. Thus , In less
than four yearn , the United Slates showed
u rlso from $15.32 to J21.71 per capita circu
lation. This speedy and vast Increase of
the volume of currency money should have
according to popullstlo theories , materially
enhanced the prices of nil salable thltmu.
But , on the contrary , during that period
there wns a marked decline In some of the
most staple products of the United States.
Itrlnly , to verify this statement : Wheat
was Jl.OS in 1S77 nnd declined to 95 cents
In 1SSO , and pork fell oft from J14.7G per
barrel In 1ST ? to JO.S3 In 1S79 and to J13
In 18SO.
These Illustrations are sufficient , In this
contention , to demonstrate that nn Increase
of money does not necessarily increase the
prices of farm products.
Congressman William Jennings Bryan
reasoned well , on March 10 , 1S92. when ho
Mid In the house of representatives :
"You must attribute It to the Inventive

That Is n tutno statement by n man whose

by the silver mania.
PACTH AI1OUT FARM MOUTOAOES.
The followlns facts reRimllnK farm mort-
accs nro from tnblen recently compiled
and heretofore unpubllfllicd :
The mortpace Indebtedness on the fnrmi
of the United Stales Is very llttlo moro thnn
one-sixth of the total mortgage Indebted
ness of the country , even after wo exclude
from the latter the mortgage Indebtedness
of railroads and other nubile corporation * .
Of farmers owning their farms 71 78 per
cent , or nearly three-fourths hold them tree
of Incumbrance. Only 282 farm1 ? out of
every 1,000 occupied by their owners arc eh-
cumbered.
Of the 23,22 per cent of farmers who o
fnims nro mortgaged , three-fourths ex
pended the amount borrowed In the pur
chase or Improvement of their farms.
The farms of the North Atlantic division
of states am moro heavily encumbered ,
telntlvely to their value , thnn those of any
other division. New Jersey stands at the
head , nnd while Its farm mortgage debt rep
resents 49.GI tier cent of the value of the
fnritw encumbered It amounts to only 16.17
per cent of the total value of all the farms
of the state. Similarly , whlla the farm
mortgage Indebtedness of the state of Illi
nois Is 3I.C3 per cent of the value of the
farms encumbered , It represents only 7.S4
per cent of thn total vfllue of nil the farms
of the state , the values being In every case
ns reported by the farmers themselves.
The total amount of mortgage Indebted
ness upon the farms of this country occu
pled by owners , and upon acre tracts that
arc not farms , equals } 2.209.HS,431 , which
amount represents about 16 per cent of the
total valuation of farms In the United
Slates In 1S90. Uut deducting from the
nbovo amount the sum of Jl 12.1,152.471 , which
represents the mortgage Indebtedness upon
aero tracts that are not farms , and wo tlnd
that tlio real and actual farms of this re
public nro mortpngcd for Just Jl.OSS.SDj.MO ,
or only about 8 per cent ot their value.
INCIIHASK OP LAND VALUES.
The advocates of cheap money lay great
stress upon the fact that It takes moro
bushels of wheat or other cereals to pay
off the amount of these mortgages now
than would have been required to buy the
sanio number of dollars when the Incum-
branccit were Incurred , nut the fact that
It would also , tit most cases , take more
dollars to buy the land now than It did
when the land wns purchased Is not men
tioned. Between 1SSO and 1SBO the valuation
ot all property In the United States rose
from JH3.GI2.000.000 to JGS.OOO.OOO.OOO , a gain in
ten years , under thu gold standard , of over
? 2I,000CflOOv.1t. ,
Nor do the fervid pleaders for cheaper
money with which to ptiy oft the obliga
tions of the debtor give the land any credit
whatever for having subsisted those who
occupy It , nor for the fact that the land Is
paid for out of the surplus products which
are annually sold from It.
The totnl valuation of farms In the United
States In 1SDO amounted to $13,279,232,019. The
total mortgage. Indebtedness upon those
farms amounted In that year to JlOS5nJ5-
SCO. For the seven fiscal years ending June
30 , from 18SO down to und Including 1890 ,
these same farms , after feeding and clothIng -
Ing their occupants and feeding all the
urban population of the United States
( which Is ES per cent of all the people of
this republic ) exported annually agricul
tural products as follows :

That Is , In seven years , from lf > 90 to 1S98
both years Inclusive , our farm exports
amounted to J4,433CS8,14S , or more than four
times as much as the entire mortgage In
debtedness of all the farms In the United
States.
Can any other occupation make as good a
showing ? Has real estate In the cities been
as fortunate ? Can urban property com
pare in the. United States with rural prop-
c-rty a to Income-bearing capacity , dollar
for dollar ? And Is not the mortgage In
debtedness of urban real estate far greater
In proportion to Its value than that of rural ?
And today must not the merchant , the man
ufacturcr , the banker nd the common car
rler also give moro efforts to gain a dollar
now than ho did flvc years ago ? Are no
the margins of prolH cut down In every
commercial calling ? Arc not consumers
everywhere , every day , getting more ant
more of their shore of the profits of cheaper
production arising from Inventions nnd 1m
proved Implements and machinery ? Is no1
the Interest on money IC.SB ? Does It no
take more dollars tit Interest to sub
slst ono now than It did ten years
or even live years ago ? The profits o
capital engaged in manufacture are the
leavings of wages. And are not those leav
ings less year after year on farms as wel'
as In factories ? And Is It not essential
therefore , to labor , ns well ns to capital ,
that earnings bo paid In money of the
greatest desirability nnd the most un
fluctuating purchasing power , and Is nol
gold that money the wide world over ?
CHEAP MONEY FALLACIES.
The fallacies of abundant , cheap money
are attractive and Innumerable , Never be
fore In this country have the advocates
and followers of money fallacies been so
numerous and zealous. They tell us that
the free nnd unlimited coinage' of silver
at 1C to 1 will raise not only the price ol
silver , but of all farm products nnd nil
commodities. Hut price is only the value
of a thing In money. And If the quantity
of money be greatly Increased and that In
crease does not raise the price of things
generally , will not the things themselves
preserve their relative values among them
selves ? And If by an infinite coinage of
silver at 1C to 1 pork , priced nt fG per bar
rel , and flour , priced at JO per barrel , each
bo put at J12 per barrel , they have each
doubled In price , but each Is still only the
value of the other. Therefore , there may
be a general rlso or a general fall In
prices without affecting values at all. "And
there cannot be such n thing ns n genera ]
rise or n general fall In values. Everything
can no more rise or fall with everything
clso thun , as Mills says , a dozen runners
can each outrun all the rest , or a hundred
trees can all overtop one another , To sup
pose that all these things could rlso 'rela
tively to each other would bo to realize the
Irishman's Idea of society , where every
man Is as good as neighbor nnd a good
deal better , too. "
The silver monometalllsts , who , disguised
as blmetulllsts , are now endeavoring to per
suade the American people to accept ns
truth the fallacy that cheap money cicates
value , make no distinction between price
nnd valuo. Therefore , with much fervid
misinformation , their candidate for the
presidency at the Coliseum in Chicago on
July 9 , in declaring- against the fold stand
ard with a vehemence and lorco which
uvlnco his honest ignorance of the nature
and functions of money , said : "Wo are
fighting In the defense of our homes , our
families and posterity. -\v'o beg no
longer , wo entreat no more , we petition no
more. Wo defy them. "
Whom they arn lighting , whom they have
begped , entreated , petitioned , and now defy.
Is not made clear "
even to the "plnln people
ple , " lint If It bo true us declared In the
same bewildering torrent of war Is tl-at
"the gold standard has plain Us tens of
thousands" nnd "the future is writ ton In
blood crushed out of you by gold" the limo
for calling out the troops In Chicago to put
down these who slay folks with pold and
make Ink out of human blood with a gold
crusher has assuredly arrived. And even
the populists nnd Mr , Debs will Justify the
pruHldent In putting down these monsters
If the executive of the Htnte , who mokes
leases of gold , falls to either annlhllito or
pardon them.
nilYAN'S INCBNBIAnY WOODS.
And the H.-iina valorous and distinguished
exponent of free silver declared at Knowles-
vllle , N. Y. , on August 28 , lk9G :
The iiromuljratlon of the fc-old Mamlnrcl la an
attack upon > our homes aad your fireside * , and
you have an much rlnlit to resist It as to redst
an army marching to take your children cap-
tl\o nnd burn the roof oteryour head.
Evidently the sold standard In not satis
fied when. In the form of a riot. It attacks
n homo , to politely omit the llresl.le. nor
does the gold standard , when It < onVerts
Itself Into nn army for tno purposalof Ab
ducting children , forget to lire roofs over
head Instead of underfoot. And all of these
atrocities think of It ! might have re
mained undetected , unepogod , except for
the astuteness nnd vigilance of ihu nature
experienced and eloquent ramlUtua for the
olllce of chief executive of 70.000.XK ) of Amer
icans. Who else In ono masterful utter.ir.ru
could so conclusively "assault " "
prove , "ab-
duotlon" and "urson" upon the gold stand
ard ? And who doubts hl = i pntrijtlo Hluccr-
ity , his lofty purposes , his 8tato. manrlili >
or his sanity ?
Uut the war thoughts of the candidate
against the gold standard nro , iUo coined
and put Into circulation at Erie , Pi. , Aliero
he courageously asserts , on Aiuu.-it < 7 :
We are i-niraKed In this contest ; It la eolnp to
lie war. and If we Iocs .tills time , no are cotm ;
rlKht alone and keep up ( lie war.
And this deliverance develops the military
aptitude of the candidate. It Illustrates Ms
peculiar ( linens nnd adaptation for the , com-
niinder-ln-cIiU'fHhlp of the army und i.avy
of the United States. It appeals to the
irlda and good sense of every consiJcrate
citizen und at the same time exhibits u. pro-
round knowledge of tlmt marvelous military
strategy which U always Invincible In peace
nnd invisible In war.
IJut let us turn for n moment from the
lazzllntr military genius of this candlitite
or the nrgildency to his logical nnd reason-
ne capabilities. Let us dote upon his mod-
esty. Let us commend his accurate sitate-
nent of hUtorlo fact and his presentation
of philosophic .truth. At Columbus , O. , on
September 1. be Raid :

Hut the unrelenting fnet thnt Thomns
Jefffroon. In IStt. us president of the I'nlted
Stntcs , Issued nn executive order closing
the mints to silver dollars , nml that the
order remained In vigor for thirty yenrfl ,
nnd that the American people did no pro
test against that autocratic "omrRRfc ifpon
silver" stands unnwed In the presence of
tumid declamation. Either thoiColumbus
statement - > r the record of Jefferson's ad
ministration ns to his action In Stopping
the coinage of silver Is n lie. There Is no
"stealth" In the order of Jefferson.
An act of the congress of the United
Slates In 1S34 , which anyone may .rend In
the statutes at large , Is false , or Uio Co
lumbus statement Is untrue. Which Is
most credible the candidate or the authen
ticated law of the land , which was approved -
proved and signed by Andrew Jackson ?
DEMONETIZATION IN 1S.U
The net of 1SXI , openly and without pop
ular protest , began the demonetization of
silver. And the net of 1S73 , dropping the
silver dollar from American coinage , only
reaffirmed. Improved , amended and accen
tuated the statute of 1S53. And the fact
that both nets were debated In congress ,
then passed nnd nt once published by au
thority of the government does not Imply
"stealth" when taken in' conjunction with
the truth that the act ot IS7S was pending
three years , nnd the bill and Its amend
ments were during tlmt tlmo published
thirteen tlmei In Congressional llecords
and reports. Even Silver Stewart , senator
from the stale of Nevada which ntcn of
sago brush and argentiferous rocks and a
population of less than 40,00.1 , Illustrates
the possibility In Its near future of only
sixteen citizens to one senator voted for
the "crime of " 731" And nil these 'printed '
and notorious facts ask preference ns to
credibility over the calm and premeditated
mendacity of any and nil candidates , either
at Columbus or elsewhere.
Ilut the versatility of even a phonograph
pales before the manifold mental acquire-1
ments of the candldntfe of three conycn-
llons , "with but a single ; silver" thought. " '
Kor , besides n knowledge of the urt or war
which puts Jomlrtl- " Napoleon , Leo , Slice1 *
mnn nnd Grant to"SHanfc71rl' iddltlofrlo
his scMlus for'truth , facts nnd figures
which remind one of Uaron Munchnusen ,
he has scientific attainments of Immense
magnitude , and not least among them
looms up his knowledge of entomology.
The knowledge of insect pests Is of great
value to agriculture ; and horticulture , und
at Springfield , O. , on September 3 , the poyl-
glot nnd compressed-nir candidate gave a
glimpse of his capabilities tn this line , nay-
ing , after' having referred to the potato
bug , the chinch bug nnd the army worm ,
"But let mo tell you the gold bug Is de
stroying morn crops than all of them. "
The scientific precision of the Informa
tion thus conveyed nnd the deliberate
and didactic style of the utter
ance must command admiration
from every citizen who desires to sec
a learned man of accurate habits of
thought nnd conciseness of speech attain
the presidency. The dignity of diction
which thus adorns the truth of science
should be canned and served as embalmed
wisdom to the students of coming genera
tions. Criticism may , however , wonder
why , after his dxcorlatlon of the "gold-
bugs , " the simulator of Washington , Lin
coln and Jackson did not dcrcrlbe and de
fine the ravages of the "humbugs" ot this
country ? The cheap-money humbug has
frightened traders , depressed prices , dis
rupted business , and , with Its warble of
free silver , lured with siren music wage
earners , farmers nnd artisans of all sorts
to the rocks and shoals of dishonor and dis
aster. "Why did the Incarnation and apothq-
osls of the humbug fall to define his own
depredations ? Did he consider his manner
and his oratory , his humming , an objefct
lesson which needed no comments ?
Uut when he pos < ? s as the mammoth-
hearted philanthropist the candidate be
comes monumental In modesty , nnd his
voice In behalf of the plain people , the poor
people , rings out amid the cormorants Of ;
the banks and the money minions every
where like a foghorn at sea. Ills sympa
thies are for the thriftless , his condemna
tion for the debtlcss. .The 71.78 per cent. Or
nearly three-fourths , of the farmers of the
United States who have no mortgages upon
their.fnrmo he would tax and burden with
debased currency In order to encourage the
28.22 per cent whose farms arc mortgaged
to cheat their creditors. He would reverse
the natural law which provides for the sur
vival of the fittest nnd by statute- murder
the Interests of the Industrious , the frugal
and the fittest , nnd nourish and preserve
the Indolent , the wasteful nnd the unfittcst
FINANCIAL FORCE BILL.
The free nnd unlimited coinage of < 12'i
grain , legal tender silver dollars In the
United States would be the enactment Of
a financial force bill. It would place the
Inferior power , expatriate the superior and
leave ) silver the sole measure of value and
mediator of exchanges In the United States.
And all this Is proposed by those "friends
of humanity" who are perpetually hys
terical about the condition of "the plain
people , " the "poor" and the "weak. " the
"tolling masses" and others upon whom
they lavish their benevolence. They gen
eralize , they dclndlvlduallzc these classes
and appeal to the emotions on their ac
count , proposing aid by leglslatlori-and a
change of national finance In their behalf.
Money Is , by law , to bo transferred from
these who have money to tnoso who do not
have money. And massed capital without
which civilization cannot advance , or even
exist Is to bo dispersed , scattered , redis
tributed. Thus the wages , reservoirs of in
dustry , are to be destroyed. Thus capital ,
which employs and sustains labor , Is to bo
assassinated and the sole source of indus
trial sustenance destroyed. And all this ,
not for the majority , which Is solvent and
prosperous , but for a comparatively In
significant minority , whoso self-constituted
attorneys declare them Insolvent and dis
tressed. S
For generations thoughtful parents have
taught their sons Industry , temperance and
economy. That teaching has resulted In
capital and capitalists. And the smoke of
every factory , the fires of every engine , the
harvests In every field , arc the sequence
of the sound Instruction in economics which
every good father and mother In the United
Stntcs have been Imparting during the most
wonderful hundred years of man's civilized
career. That hundred years which , not
withstanding the "curse of the gold stand
ard , " have developed on this continent a
icpubllc which , In mental strength , moral
worth and money value , nnd honor and
honesty , is a miracle among the nations.
And no communist can hero make Individ
ual prosperity an offense , capital a crime
and capitalists malefactors by Inciting
wage earners to huto and destroy the men
who pay them. Here the laborer ot today
may be the capitalist ot tomorrow. Chicago
cage and all of the northwest are rtiive
and energized with enterprises , the capi
tal of which belongs to the laborer of yes
terday. And In the vicissitudes ot affairs
the capitalist of today may tomorrow be
come a day laborer. And If much money
largo capital bo a crime , where will these
declnlmers against the public peace and
the contentment of the country mark the
limit of Innocent accumulation ? How much
money may u man or n corporation bo al
lowed to possess ? What amount Is crime ?
How llttlo Is virtue ?
MONEY BY TIUCK OP A STAMP.
And yet some agitators and revolutionists ,
who denounce accumulations of money by
Industry , proclaim their Intent to create
money galore by the mere trick of a stamp
and to make millionaires Dy mere statute.
They declare the dollars too good and com
modities too cheap for the plnln people , and
by the free coinage of sliver at 1C to 1 they
propose to make the money cheaper and
goods higher. Uy statute they propose to
double the price of silver , thereby making
It more easy to enhance all tarm products
and confer cheaper food and clothing upon
laborers In all our great centers of popu
lation. And In a recent tpi-pch nt Nebraska
City , from the rear of a Missouri I'aclllo
railroad car. the most distinguished expo
nent of these economic vagaries and finan
cial fallacies said : "If I am elected presi
dent the gold standard In the United States
will not last twenty-four hours. "
What then ? How will ho state his case ?
He cannot declare tlmt he Is for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 10 to 1 , for the " 1" the standard by
which he proposes to measure his 10 has
been abolished. Will ho s.iy "ulxtcen to
nothing ? " Wlmt can he say ?
Ilut the whole theory that money creates
values is a fallacy. For , It that were true ,
then If all money should leave , the country ,
all values , according to populism , would
liavo disappeared. And leaving the tiucs-

AMUSEMENTS.
Mr. Richard Mansfield and his company

ferred to at length In these columns on
other occasions , and all that has been said
In praise thereof Is still endorsed. The

performance were abscut last night. "The
Merchant of Venice" will bo given at the

Colonel Cody and his show have taken

CHICAGO , Oct. P. Australians , flrct In-
Ings , 235 runs ; Chicago Wanderers , second
in Ings , S wickets for (53 ( runs , Is the history
of the second day's play In the cricket match
ot the Antlpodcans against the World's
fair city players. The weather was cold
but clear , the wicket responding somewhat
quicker than yesterday , the keen wind and
warm sun having dried out the crease to n
considerable extent. Darling and Gregory ,
the "not outs" nt the call of time last even
ing resumed their batting this morning , fac
ing the bowling of Ogdcn and Henderson ,
Gregory soon gave way to Grlftcn , being
caught and bowled by Henderson. Darling
was only able to add three to his score of
nst night , thereby making a total of CO , when
ho was clean bowled by Ogdcn , Kclley then
Joined Glffcn. but only succeeded In scoring
nlno when Anson made a magnificent runlug
catch of n drlvo to the long on from n full
pitched ball by Ogden. Six wickets for
SS runs. Trott then joined Glffcn nnd the
stand of the day was made. Huns came
slowly , however , but a terrific drive by Trott
to long on , which appeared to be stlro to
clear the boundary fence , was
safely gathered In by Pfcffcr , n
brilliant catch which wna hailed by
srcat applauses Seven wickets for 150 runs.
The only batter , with the exception of Grlf-
fen , to reach double figures after Captain
Trott , was Graham , who put , 27 together In
fine Btylc. GlfTcn's not out for 60 was a
splandld display of careful and scientific bat
ting. Ho gave but two chances , ono nt Uio
wicket , the other a difficult catch to the
bowler and an ovation greeted him when lie
retired on account of McKlbbcn being clcari1
bowled by llowcll. All out for 235 runs.
The Wanderers of Chicago started right In
on their second Innings with Ogdcn and Gll-
chrlst batting , McKibbcn and Kady bowling.
They wcro rather unfortunate In
their second effort , as when time
was called , eight wickets had
fallca for 53 runs. Davis , the Culcagoan
who made the largest score yesterday , 34 ,
was only able to put together 9 when n swift
ball from the off delivered by McKlbbon
brok6 through his guard and retired him.
Cummlngs and liowcll were at bat when
tlmo was called , the former having 13 to his
credit. Score :

.You wouldn't
think much
of a tn a a
who re
mained lied
wlien he
had a knife in hi a
baud1 } , would you ? He
would be foolish to re
main helpless when the
sliKhlcst effort would
fiee him. A man is
made helpless nnd use
less by other things be
sides ropes. Constipa
tion will make a niau
helpless. His muscles
* / / > and brain are so weigh !
ed down with impure ,
poisonous matter , use
lessly retained in the system , that effort of
all kind is distasteful ; and what little work
lie is able to perform is not of peed quality.
Constipation wakes a man sluggish oud
heavy. Itgives him a headache , mostlikely.
His "brain doesn't work. " He has a bad
taste in his mouth , a foul breath , and he
" feels bad " all over. Constipation causes
nine-tenths of all human sickness. It is the
cause of sick and bilious headaches , of bil
iousness , sour stomach , heart-burn , palpita
tion of the heart , pimples , blotches , indi
gestion nnd dyspepsia. It can be cured just
as easily as a rope may be cut. Dr. Pierce'a
Pleasant Pellets will do it. They will do it
without producing any harmful effect on the
rest of the system. They are not violent in
their action. They merely assist Nature.
Thej wlH restore the healthy , natural action
of the digestive ortranii. You don't become a
slave to their use. You stay cured when you
are cured. One little "Pellet" is a gentle
laxative ; two a mild cathartic. Get them at
druggists. Nothing else is "just as good. "
HKALTH FOR NOTHING. If you knew
more about your body and its needs you
would be sick less often and less rcriously.
You may have this knowledge free. If you
will send 31 one-cent stamps , to pax the cost
of mailing only , we will send you past-paid ,
a paper-bound copy of Dr. Pierce's Common
Sense Medical Adviser. This i.ooS-pagc ,
illustrated , medical work contains more in
formation about the human body in health
and disease than any other medical book
printed in the Hnghsli language. If you
would like to have a copy bound in fine.
