b. THE PUBLIC DEBT. The statement
of the public debt, published August
1st, 1868, confesses that the amount
of that great national blessing"
focts up $2,523, ,534, 4S0! These
figures represent, an amount of in
debtedness that few men can compre-
hend.' It's imrnensity is barely within
the bounds of human calculation,
and would prove appalling to nation
Of Rothschilds', Barings' and Pea
body's. t3a
It stands upon the ruins of the
Constitution, amid the crumbling
pillars of the American Republic, a
monument of radical misrule, incom-
potency, villainy and despotism.
While it represents the price of our
national ruin and degradation, it is
eloquent of national bankruptcy, in
tolerable and eternal taxation and of
selfish subiugation of the poor to the
rich. 'ia '
The tax gatherers, of whom it is
the fertile parent, are now busy in
every street, lane, highway and by.
way in the land; and are as disas-
o1Ouo W bue prosperity VI tu6 country
as the seven plaques, to which Pha-
raoh was compelled to succumb.
They demand taxes for
The hat on your head,
The boots on your feet,
The clothes on your person,
The food you eat,
The tea and coffee you drink,
The pot it is cooked in,
The cup you drink it out of,
The implements on your farm,
The tools you work with,
The paper you write on,
The pen and ink you use,
The papers and books you read,
The furniture in your house,
The gas or oil you burn,
The coal you consume,
The stove you burn it in,
The match you light it with,
The medicine you take,
The tobacco you smoke,
The pipe you smoke it in,
The dishes on your table, and
All you eat off them.

Under Democratic rule. previous
tot186O, the expenses of the Govern
ment did not exceed 500 OOO. 600 per
annum. In 1866. in time of peace.
under q Republican administration,
the expenses were $500, 600, 900.
Government bonds, under Demo
cratic administration, were held at
$1.1e. Under the Republican rule
these bonds now sell at 10 cents.
While the Democrats were in
power, the average tax of each voter
in the United States was about $15
per head. Under the Republican
administration of 1867, it was about
an average of SIT to each voter.
The Democrats, in 1860, had a
public debt Of only 800, OOO. 600. The
Republicans have swelled it up to
$2,800,000,O0G.
The average liability of each voter
under the public debt of 1860. was
about $3.50. The average liability
of each voter under the nresent deht
is about $4,000.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

"AANHOOD."-Ano New Medical
Pamphlet from the pen of DIR. Curtis. The
Medical Times says Of this work: ''This
valuable treatise on the cause and cure of
premature decline shows how health is
impaired through secret abuses Of youth
and manhood, and how easily regained. 1t
gives clear synopsis of the impediments
to marriage, the cause and effects of ner-
vous debility, and the remedies therefor"
A pocket edition of the above will be for
warded on receipt of 25 Cents, by. ad-
dressing Doctor Curtis, No. 139 F street,

FALLACIEs OF THE FACULTY.
The stomach is the ruling organ of the
system. If the digestion is imperfect,
every member, every gland, every muscle.
every nerve and fibre is more or less out
OF order. All the fluids ere depraved. The
brain is clouded. The spirits are de-
pressed. All dyspeptics kno,c this to be
the truth. 1t is not, however, half the
truth. Columns would be required to emu
merate the pains and penalties of dyspep-
sia, nor could any pen do then, justice.
Tens of thousands feel them; no man can
describe them.
Can they be prevented? Can they be
relieved? Can they be banished at once
and foreveri Unquestionably they can.
No dyspeptic has ever taken HOSTET-
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS in vain. Be-
lieve no one who says the complaint is
incurable. This great reJetoJle stomachic
will eradicate it's eradcating it in thou.
sands of cases over which medical practi-
TONERS have shaken their heads ominously,
saying, Nothing can be DONE"
The faculty has its fallacies. One of
them Is that indigestion is the most diff
cult of all the ordinary ailments of man
kind to combat and aubdue. This is O
mistake. Nothing can be easier than to
conquer it il the tue specific be admipis-
tered. This vegetable combination, which
has become famous throughout the civil
lized world as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
is an antidote to the disease, which has
never been known to fail, and fortunately
it is everywhere -procurable. If you wish
to fool with the dyspepsia. try the pharma-
copeia prescriptions. If you want to root
Il out, and prevent it's recurrence, take the
Bitters daily. There is no discount on the
testimony in its favor. If there is man
or woman who has ever tried it for indi-
gestion without being benefited, the fact
has not transpired. Universal, uncontra-
dicted praise avouches it's wonderful tonic
virtues. Sept 9 t6
