0RIeIS OF EvERr DISEASE, AMI THE MyASs
OF CURE.-In the year 1875, lie Roy clearly de-
monstra,ed that every disease originated from i'm.
pure or undises,ed Particles becoming mixed with
the blood and fluids And also, that TO cure every
disease, it was only requisite to open the natural
outlets of the body, and allow them to remain open,
by which means the blood and fluids would re-.
lease themselves from the undges,ed and impure
PARTICLES, and state OF health would he certain to
ensue.
The Royal Institute Of France awarded to him,
for this discovery, the Gold Medal of the Institute
This is a historical fact.
All which the Brandreth Vegetable Universal
Pills prof to do is, to carry out this principle, and
Experience has fully established them capable of
il, When, therefore, had state of health exists in
the body, all that has to be done is 10 continue to
purge it eff ctually with them, and the more vio.
lent the disease, the more powerful must be the
dose.

Asan instance of the marvellous achievement
of skill when so brought to bear upon even ono

sumes of taxed articles Notonly have consumers
now to pay the expenses Of the general govern
ment but by means of the distribution Of the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands among the States and
the assumption Of the debts of the States; the
wealthy nabobs, with Henry Clay, (who is the faith
er of the distribution scheme,) Thomas Ewing,
and Alfred Kelley at their head, would have them
support the State as well as the national govern
ment. Our surprise is that the rich have not before
this devised some scheme by which to exempt
themselves from paying county, road or school
tax Farmers, and mechanics, you who live by
the sweat of your brow, are you prepared TO pay
all the expenses OF both national and State govern
ments, while the wealthy arstocrat, with his
millions, pays no more than your If you are not,
vote in favor of James X. Polk, and against Hen
ry Clay.
We care not if the amount received by the State
of Ohio, out of the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands would be $5O0,oo0 year, INSTEAD
of $4,000 the result would be the same, or
even worse; for the more we would receive, the
more would it be necessary to make up by the
tariff.

THE TARIFF.

The wings have become so very wise in this our
day that they can split hairs between north and
northwest side. But we have got puzzle for
them now. Below will be found the opinions of
James K Polk and Henry Clay on the tariff, placed
in parallel columns We give these without say
ing which is Poik's or which is Clays. We wish
the wings TO give the author of EACH We pledge
ourselves for the correctness of the quotations:

DISTRIBUTION.

The distribution of The proceeds of the sales OF
the public lands is favorite hobby Of the wings
at the present time. They propose to divide the
proceeds among the several States of the Union,
according to their population. Now, by reference
to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, we
find on page 20, that the amount received from the
sales Of the public lands for the year 1912, was
81 ,335,797 So. This sum would be diminished
from the necessary expenses arising from its dis
tribition, and from the grants and reservations
made IN the law passed at the extra session OF
164I, to at least the of 81 200 0,--and we
believe il would not exceed the sum Of 81 900 000
But divide 81 200 900 among the States according
to their representative population, and it would
give to the State of Ohio, about $4,000. This
is about one eighth of the tax paid by the people of
this State, for State and canal purposes. The
whose property is valued at so thousand dollars,
pays now for State and canal purposes, the sum of
$50 dolIars-one eighth OF this sum is 43 dollsrs
and rs cents. Then $43 rs would the rich mans
tax be reduced. A man in this county owning
cattle pays into the State treasury abouttwo dollars
and rs cents, one eighth of this sum is rs cents
being saving Of that amount.
The sum Of 81 100000 being taken out of the
national treasury, must be replaced by some means;
that means Is undoubtedly the tariff Then. to
replace that sum, does the rich man pay into the
national treasury, by means Of consuming dutiable
articles, than the poor man, in the proportion
Of 40 dollars to 2s cents' Certainly not; for the
farmer Of our county with his 100 acres of land
consumes as much, or very nearly as much, as the
rich fund-moDger with his thousands. 1t IS mere
y plan concocted by the wealthy, to throw the
burthens Of taxation on the shoulders Of the con-
