Cultivating Dyspepsia.

If | were called upon, said James |. of
England, to provide dinner for Satan,
his bill of fare should consist of roast pig
and pipe of tobacco for digestion. From
the manner in which two-thirds of our
adult population treat their unfortunate
stomach, one might suppose that they were
as willing to destroy their own health as
King James would have been to sicken
Satan. In most countries, people who in
dulge in alchoholic drinks take them at
meal times or Immediately after eating,
when the membraneous lining of the
stomach is in some degree prots0ted from
their infammatory action by poultice so
to speak, of masticated food. But the
Amerieap iEqbibsr prefers to swallow his
liquid poison when there is nothing in the
organ into which he deoants it to qualify
its fiery principle, or prevent it from tax
ing immediate and full effect upon the
viscera with which it comes in contact.
The vicious wretch who throws vitrol in
the face of his enemy scarcely misuses him
more horribly than one of our perpepdic-
ular drinkers migQses his own stomach, Is
it any wonder, then, considering the out
RACES which the people of this country
commit upon the internal machinery, that
dyspepsia is a national disease

Sold the Big Dog for two Puppies.

HE prominent national nuisance of
the nineteenth century is the big ma
tional debt. The reduction of that
nuisance is ever hailed as blessing by
the working classes and taxpayers of
the country !; and when the new Sec
retary Unexpectedly announced a de-
crease of the "demnition total" in Nav,
equal to the sum of $6,200,OOO, the
tax-cursed multitude cried "Allah
be praised. Powerful is the new w.
coon. All hail, Boutwell, w
But how has the decrease been
shown Thusly We have swap
ped off the nuisance of a big dog, and
taken two puppies in exchange nav,
we have taken gross of puppies
The nominal reduction is $6,20O,OOO,
but the actual increase was, on May
LIST, $75,OO0,OOO. On April 1st the
paper dollar was quoted 139 for 100 in
gold. On May 1st it stood 1876 paper
dollars for 100 in gold, or three dollars
on each one hundred advance. 1t
would, therefore, have taken, on the
1st of May, 75,563,92l more dollars to
pay our national debt than on the 1st
of April. We have nominal reduc-
tion in the $6,200,00O big dog, but we
actually increased the nuisance in the
score of puppies, which this SIS, $685.
92l brought upon us.
Now, let every taxpayer give his
attention to this grave fact. We shall
never have a gold currency till the
present dominant party is out of pow
er. To-day gold is 139 or z per cent
higher than on the LIST of April. The
great debt is thus much larger than il
was on that date, measured by a paper
medium. The quotations Of gold al
this moment carry the debt of the Uni
ted States $176,0O0,0Oo higher than il
was on April 1st, and $65, 100000 high
er than it was on May 1st. The high
er goes gold the more we owe. Dc
not be deceived by official statements
put forth at period like the present
when the paper dollar is fuctuatino
hourly. We shall never know what
we owe till the material with which VIC
measure our Indebtedness ceases tc
contract and expend, Rout this ac.
cursed party out of power, horse, foot
and dragons, and then we anjlind q
means to get at thesxact deb6sShd 0
means to dispose $ofsit, Till the pres.
ent administration, and the party sup.
porting it, are squelched out, the peo.
pie must put no confidence in anything
emanating from public officials. A
corrupt party, as we know the domi.
nant power, to be, will have corrupt
office-holders, and no department. o.
this government demands closer watch.
ing than that Of the finances.

GOOD BoNDnoLDER DOCTRINE
We have received copy of the
Imperialist, the organ of the pres
ent imperial Administration. 1t
openly proclaims that imperialism
is the only hope of the bondholders
securing their plunder from the
people. 1t says that "the masses,
if they have the power, will repu-
date the debt because the masses
are dishonest in their Instincts, and
totally destitute Of any sense OF
honor, while an intelligent despot
must maintain his financial credit
in order to maintain his power
The Empire will pay it's debts-the
Republic will cheat its creditors.
This is good bondholder doctrine,
and serves to show, if there ever
was any doubt about it, in what
interest that paper is printed and by
whom sustained. The bondhoIders
are afraid to trust this poor, hard.
working, half-starved and half-na.

TuE Democratic party is the on.

IHE Democratic party is the on
~ party organized or that can be
organized, that can stay the chariot
wheels of despotism and save the
country from its impending doom.
The Democratic party is a party of
principle; it is the party of the
people, of the Union, of the old
Constitution and of liberty. 1t has
the advantage of organization, and
of numbers-the elements of DOW.
er, and Che materials out of which
to do the work-and if earnest,
faithful Democrats, who have stood
up SO grandly against the madness
OF the Mongrel party for the last
eight years, will stand by its organ
ization, they will save the country,
if is to be saved at all. Let, then
every Democrat stand firmly by
their party, and frown down every
attempt to weaken its ranks by new
party organization, by whomsoever
made. We hold that the thorough
and final settlement Of the disturb
ing element, "negro equality" is
the first grand evil to meet and
conquer. The supremacy of the
white man and the interiOrity of tile
negro must be irrevocably establish
ed. Gods laws established the fact
at the beginning. Man has attempt
ed to -unsettle it, and hence themor
al, social and political chaos now
breakingout. Settling this disturb
ing element of "free negroism," we
can then grapple with minor evils,
and easily restore social order and
harmony; and their legitimate
fruits, political and commercial
prosperity, will again be ours.
