Most Critical Year in the
Baby’s ExiStence.

At No Time So Liable to
Sudden Intestinal Disorders.

Earliest

Cholera infantum.

The Victims

With
Baby’s Food Essential.

Weaning baby in summer is attended
with peril when heat and improper
feeding conspire to derange the sensi-
tive stomach.

. As warm weather comes on, children
require the most wholesome, nourish-
ing and palatable diet possible, and

Care

I lactated food should be in the hands of
every mother.

Sudden changes of the
atmosphere are dangerous above all
things to infants whose digestive appar-
atus is out of order, and the use of
lactated food is especially to be come

:mended because of 11:8 corrective in-

fluence in cases of irritability of the

stomach.

Then too, the mother who has tried
hard to nurse her child, but growing
weak and losing her own appetite until
she is nearly worn out, and finds now
that she must wean her infant While the
days and nights are growing hotter and
more debilitating can do so as thous-
ands Of mothers have done before, upon
lactated food.

The infant will like it and grow
strong and hoppv upon it. The com-
position Of lactated food 1s simply this:
Its basis 1s sugar of milk; with
combined the digestive elements of
wheat, barley and oats, producing a
pure food which meets every require-
ment of the growing child.

"lhere is no secret about it. It is the
food physicians use in their own fami-
lies and most generally prescribe.

Thousands Of mothers have testified
to the fact that lactated food has done
what nothing else could dO—saved the
lives of their little ones.

No better evidence can be offered of
its superiority than the many instances
in which fretful, peevish and sleepless
babies, as soon us put on lactated food,
sleep all night and wake up laughing.
'1 he happy change, physicians say, is,
solely due to the superior nourishment
and satisf31nv qualities of this best- of
foods.

It must be borne in mind that lactat-
ed food 1s so inexpenSive that it is w1th-
in the reach of every family.

BETRAYED WITH A KISS

Stewart Says the People Will Not-

Thus Suffer Again.

THE HOPE or GOLD MONOPOLY

Be Says It Is to Divide and Conquer, but
That the Game Has .Been Played
For the Last Time—Tho
President Scored:

MEMPHIS, J une 14.—At the: second
day’s meeting of the free silver convention
Rev. Dr. Brooks of Memphis opened the
session ~with prayer. Chairman Turpie
then introduced Senator William M. Stew-
art of Nevada, who addressed the conven-
tion as follows:

“The modern Colossus, the Rothschilds
combination, is the greatest brokerage es-
tablishment the
world, has ever
seen. It deals with
corporations and
nations w h i o 1:
force . from the
people their earn-
ings either by
monopolizing the
necessaries of life '
or through the
sovereign power
of taxation. The
vast bonded debts
Of the United
States and Europe

a century. and the

ed by the Roths-
childs alone is es- ‘
timated at $2,- STEWART SPEAKING.
000,000,000. This combination robbed the
United States of gold to convert the silver
debt of Austria into gold obligations and
made $400, 000, 000 in the transaction.

“In 1893 the vaults of the United States
treasury were opened. and more. . than
$100,000,000 of gold was shipped to Aus-
tralia with the aid of the administration,
which refused to exercise the option pro-
vided by congress to pay in either gold or
silver. By this means the great combind«

 

tion wrecked the finances of this country

and created the panic of 1893. The suc-
cess of the gold combination in repealing
the purchasing clause of the Sherman act
and thereby ratifying and affirming the
infamous not of 1873, demonetizing silver,
placed the fortunes of 70.000, 000 at the

. mercy of the gold kings.

Cleveland and the Rothschilds.
“The temporary lull in the financial

storm which the country now enjoys was

bought. President Cleveland contracted
with the Rothschilds combination to cease
their raids on the United States for eight
months. He gave them $12,000, 000 in the
difference between the market price and
what he received for $62,000, 000 of United
States bonds and further agreed, in con-

sideration of such protection, to allow the

combination to purchase whatever bonds
might be issued before the meeting of an-
Other congress.

“What further proof is required than
this contract to demonstrate that the gold
Of the world is cornered? A banking cor-
poration contracts to change the currents
of international commerce and agrees that

l0 gold shall be shipped from the United
States for a period of eight months. How
could the Rothschilds combination per-
form such a contract and stop the ship-
ment of gold from America to Europe un-
less they had control of the gold? The
goldites proclaim that the people of this
country are entitled to the best money
with the greatest purchasing power of any
money in the world. What right have the
people to the gold which the combination
owns and controls? The people now know
where the gold is which they are told is
the only money they can have.

“As long as the standard money of the
western world is in the hands of this co-
lossal pool, just so long will the purchas-
ing power of gold increase and the price
of property decline. Great as are, the
American people, unlimited as are the nat-
ural resources of this country, prosperity
cannot come without a larger circulating
medium than cold alone. The basis of the
circulating medium cannot be increased by
gold. Both metals would not be too
much, and besides the output of gold is
substantially consumed in the arts. The
increase of population end business is con-
stantly drawing the cords of contraction
tighter and tighter around the limbs of
enterprise.

Favor Restoring Silver.

”Four- fifths of the American people—
yea, ninc- tenths—have been at heart in
favor of restoring silver ever since the
crime of 1873 was discovered, but the gold
combination has seized every avenue of
communication. The ,press and the tele-
graph belong to it. Four thousand na-
tional banks are its agents. Five thousand
other banks and trust companies do its
bidding. Merchants and boards of trade are
dependent upon the banks for accommo-
dations and are clamorous in their praise
of gold monopoly. Politicians and officials,
high and low, rely on the money pOWers,
the press and the minions Of the banks for
political success. The president of the
United States places 300, 000 offices at the
service of the money pOWers for the politi-
cal or other favors he receives. Before such
a force any other people would be power-
less, but the American people for more
than 100 years have met and conquered
every foe. They have always been equal
to the emergency.

“ Silver was demonetized by the Repub-
lican party, and the leaders of that party
have labored in season and out of season
to keep it domonetized. The great mass of
the Democratic party previous to the ad-
vent of President Cleveland as in favor
of the repeal of the infamou act of 1873
demonctizing silver, as is shown by their
uniform votes in both houses of congress.
But when the money powers discovered
Cleveland they found an instrument to
thwart the will of the Democratic masses,
and they gained a valuable ally for .‘her-
man and Ho: risen and other active agents
of the gold standard.

Betrayed “With I. Kiss.

“The alarm and distress caused by the
raid of the gold combination on tho treas-
ury in 1893 elected a furor which amount-
ed to a political cyclone which was directed
by the firm hand of the executive against
the two houses of congress.

“Convontlons and the party lush have
thwarted the will of the people for 20
years l’nbllc plunder, a venal press and
ten thousand banks have dominated the
conventions of all parties since the man
from Buffalo took charge of the Demo
cratio party. A majority to do the will of
the gold monopoly has been easily secured
in the conventions of both the Old parties,
and a multiplicity of issues bars the suc-
cess of the Populists. What are party

names without party principles? What" is1
the Democratic party when it rcpudiates.
Jefferson and Jackson, and follows John
Sherman? The Democratic masses are in:
favor of restoring the money of the consti-
tution. They are speaking out in every
state, and their voice is heard with dread
by the enemies of the republic. A very
large percentage of the Republican masses»
are equally true to the principles of free
government with the Democratic masses.
but the: Republican leaders who worship

at the shrine of gold monopoly are more-

numerous and powerful than the Demo-
cratic leaders who work with them to
maintain the gold standard. There are
more Hair-icons than Clevelands, and more.
Shermans than Carlisles.

‘ The Democracy of Illinois has broken
the ice. The rank and file of the Repub-
lican party south and west are sullen and
angry, but the manipulators are still in-
control. The Republican convention of
Kentucky renewed the allegiances of the
party of that state to the alien gold syndi-
cate, but the ties of party are not strong

enough to hold the Republicans of the-

great northwest in, line. The south and.
west and the producing classes of all sec-
tions have a common interest in restoring
the money of the constitution and regain-
ing control of the government of the Unit~
ed States, but an alien gold trust is in~
trenched in the sanctums of the press, in
the council chambers of the banks, in the
two houses of congress, and in the execu-
tive mansion. The people are uniting in
every section of the country to strike for
liberty and recover their lost government.
“The American people have been bc-
trayed with a kiss for the last time.
They know that every man who quali-
fies his determination to fight for the

free and unlimited coinage of silver

at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United
States alone is an enemy of the cause. All.
we demand is the 16 to 1 statutes of 1834
and 1837. There were no ‘ifs’ and ‘ands’
about those statutes. There are none in
the creed of a. true bimetallist. The ad-
vocates of free coinage at 16 to 1 by the
United States alone comprise three-fourths
of the voters of the United States. The
only hope for gold monopoly is todividc

and conquer. They have played that game-

for the last time.
The Rule of the Gold Kings.
“The hearts of the people are in. a com-
mon cause, produced by a common calam-

ity. Whatever politicians and time servers-

may do, the south and west and all lovers
of free institutions everywhere will come
together and renew this government from
the rule of the gold kings. The policy of
the enemy to impoverish the masses is now
well understood. It is well known that
opportunities create independence and
manhood; that want of opportunities cre-
ates poverty and cowards. One more gold
president might do the work and destroy
the foundation of republican institu-
tions, which is independence and prosper
ity of the people.

“Thanks to Mr. Cleveland, the purposes
of the enemy are disclosed. If the people
submit to financial bondage and loss of
their liberty, they will have been warned
in time. The gold standard, falling prices
and hard times are as much the policy of
Sherman. Harrison and the great mass of
leading Republicans as they are of Cleve
land himself. The only difference 18 that
Cleveland proclaims openly what the hyp-
ocrites do secretly.”

No Demand For a Money Conference.

BERLIN, June 14.—The National- Zei-
tung says that replies have now been re-
ceived by the government from the major-
ity of the federal governments to the form-
er’s inquiry regarding the expediency of
an international conference for the settle-
ment of the currency question. It is added
that while several answers do not imply
opposition to the proposal. not one of them
manifests a real desire for a. conference.
The replies. it appears, generally indicate
a. conviction that such a. meeting would be
fruitless.

The Valkyrie ‘lel Terrify Us.

LONDON, June 14.—The Yachtsman ex-
presses the opinion that the spars of Val-
kyrie Ill will ” terrify all right thinking
Americans.” The Yachtsman adds that
the Ailsa’s spars are puny in compar-
ison. that there is a general belief that
Valkyrie III will win the America’s
cup and that. if she fails it would be futile
to make another attempt. Continuing,
The Ynchtsman remarks: “Watson for
the first time has subordinated every con-
sideration to the essential qualifications of
3 Sandy Book 90 footer.”

The Iron Trade Outlook.

CLEVELAND, J 11110 14.—The Iron Trade
Review says: The week has brought the
regular quota of advances in prices and in
wages to the iron and steel industry. Ma
honing volley furnace men have granted
their employees a second increase of 10
per cent, and eastern steel works have an-
nounced higher rates. In pig iron Basso
mer has risen to $11.80 in the valley, and
$12 is expected by sellers as the next stage
in the advance, making the Pittsburg
price $12. 65. ”

SPAIN’S’ SHIPS 1111111,.

The Cuban Filibusters Succeed III

Reaching Jamaica In Safety,
MINISTER DE LOME PLEASED.

838 Special Missi'on- In America» Has Been.
Successful—The Revolution” \Vere *-
Soid to Number Two-Thousand,
butTheI-e Were Only- Fifty.

WASHINGTON, June 14.—Tile», steamer
George Chllds, carrying the‘fillbustering
expedition from Key West, has landed at-
Jamalca. Definite information to this
effect has beenreceivcd here. It was due
in a large measure to the sailing of this
expedition last week that the-administra-
tion determined on energetic steps to pre-
vent violation of neutrality laws, and: that
caused President Cleveland to issuehis

proclamation warning all citizens of the

United States to avoid taking part in the
filibuster-lug movements or aiding the in~
surgents in any way.

The information from Jamaica states
only that the steamer has landed, but does
not add detlfils as to whether the filibhs-
tors are still on board or were landed at
some point in Cuba. .Additional informa-
tion :5 expected asa result. of inquiries
now making.

From Two Thousand to a Mere Fifty.

Jamaica lies south of the easterly end of
Cuba, so that the steamer George Childs
could have landed her party on the east
end of the island if she took- the route 1y-
ing between Haiti and Jamaica, or if the
west route was taken the landing might
be effected on the west coast of Cuba. It
was first claimed that the party numbered
2,000 men, but later and more authorita-
tive information reaching here fixes the
number at less than 50, including four
leaders. Its progress is being watched, not
because of its importance, but owing to
its origin in the United States. and the
determined steps resolved upon by this
government to suppress filibustcring.

The George Childs sailed originally from
Philadelphia. 'When she cleared, there was
nothing suspicious about her cargo. al-
though o watch was kept on her move-
ments. She stopped at a. small point down
.the Delaware bay, where, it is believed,
she took aboard arms, ammunition and a
large quantity of food supplies suitable for
an expedition. Another steamer, the
Bridgeport. accompanied her, but her fu
ture movements are not yet located. The
Childs moved down the Atlantic coast t1
1‘. point of Key West, where the filibuster: '
had organized their party.

The Cannon Not Very Dangerous.

They are said to have carried with them
two cannon, mounted conspicuously with
their muzzles protruding over the bul-
Works. The efficiency of these weapons is
doubted, however, owing to the informa-
tion reaching here that they were dug up
after lying in the ground for a long timo
and were used only for their formidable
appearance. Jamaica is a British colony.
and it is said that the British authorities
will take all necessary steps to see that
filibusterlng is not aided from that point.
Spanish gunboats have been on the out-
look for the Key West party, so that the
arrival of the Childs at Jamaica indicates
that their watch has been unavailing.

“There would never be any such thing
heard of as a Cuban uprising,” said Min-
ister Dupuy de Lome of Spain, “if it were
not for the Florida cigar makers and their
sympathizers in New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore. Florida has been the base
of operations of this last rebellion, as well
as of those that have preceded it.”

The Spanish minister expressed himself
as much gratified by the president’s proc-
lamation enjoining strict observance of
the neutrality laws of the United States.
He stated that the securing of such action
on the part of the United States was the
chief subject intrusted to him by his gov-
ernment. Its accomplishment he regards
as giving a fatal blow to the cause of the
insurgents in Cuba and as manifesting on
the part of the United States a friendly
feeling toward Spain, which fully recipro
cates Spain’s cordial response to United
States demands in the Alliance affair

The Act of Secretary Olney.

Secretary Olnoy, when attorney general,
did not hesitate to express personally his
strong disapproval of the course of the
United States district attorney of Florida
in attending a publicly announced meet-
ing of Cuban sympathizers. It is known
that the immediate removal of 11 use offi-
cers was only averted by their telegraph-
ing a technical denial asserting that state-
ments that they had “participated” in the
meeting were false, though they never de-
nied the fact that they were present.

The principles laid down by the Geneva
