"FREPRIVmEGED GLASSES.

III Is thought 10 pc smart thing, JuSL
now, by Democratic newspapers, to pa
rade lists of 1.-THE privileged classes"
There is one not set down in their list
the Democratic whisky ring, which,
according to Mr.. Hendricks, was the
beginning and almost the ending of the
sect called the Pendletonians. Let us
see some of their "privileged classes"
merHtion, they have unacconntably
crowded out the whisky ring.
The National banker, who is receiving
some twenty-five or thirty per cent n his
investment, by virtue of the valuable pnvl-
leges which the Government hns given him
Ito proYIde National currency for the pro
pie. sTl .II,Ii
The National Banks in Ohio paid last
year, to the State Government, a tax
of two and thirty-two ghundredths per
cent. to the United States another of
two and twenty-nine hundredlhs per
cent, or, in all, a tax of four and sixty
one hundredths per cent. on every dol
lac of their entire capital. How many
Democratic demagogues, bowling about
"privileged classses," are there who
pay taxes one-half or one.fourth as
heavyl The taxes on National Bank
capital are.among the heaviest imposed
on any species of property, and they are,
from the nature of the case, the most
honestly paid.

Nearly a third OF the ratious issued
ny the Freedmsn's Bureau, from the
very organization, were for the relief
of destitute white Democrats at the
South; and in one year half a million
dollars were at one stroke taken from
the Bureau fund for that purpose. The
Democratic poor whites of The South,

The bondholder pays his income tax,
mis- wealth. He receives his interest in
gold al six per cent. When converted
into cui rency, this is far less than the
eleven or twelve per cent. at which any
man who has money to lend can place
it to-day in Cincinnati.

to believe that he could be in earnest.
or course, then, every sneak who hyp-

GENTLEMEN-Ib beg leave to offer my
testimony regarding the water of Get
tysburg Spring. After fair trial,
have the qualification to declare that my
experience corresponds with all that
has been asserted about the virtue OF
this water. 1 have suffered from chron-
ic rheumatism for sixteen years, and
during that period / have been on four
occasions confined to bed for five
! months with acute Inflammation. The
last attack commenced on the 9Th of
December, 1866, and I believe that, in
repeated fits of acnte form, 1 have had
the greatest pain produced by this ter
rtble malady. 1 was so crippled in
every joint that could not leave my
room during eight months and 1 ex-
pected to be in tn is condition for the
remainder of my life. Since COM
menced the regular use OF the water, in
proper doses OF n gill three times a day,
1 have been gradually and surely re.
lleved, until at the present date, the
rheumatic principle is entirely remov-
ed. Ihave now consumed ten gallons
of water, without any other kind of
remedy. / am still incommoded by
stiffness arising from the damaged con
dition of veins, tissues, &c., but feel a
daily Improvement. So far from being
at any time disagreeably affected. my
general health has been remarkably
benefited. I advised some of my
neighbors to use the water, and it has
etfectually cured dyspepsia and kidney
This is the first testimonial of the
kind that 1 have ever written, and 1
now send it to,you through feeling of
duty 10 tine community. have delay
ed for long time in order TO avoid
hastiness or delusion. Most earnestly
would recommend this charming
remedy to all persons affected by any
Of the ailments to which 1t Is applica-
