z DEMOCRATIC SENATOR PARoDIHD

'Oh liberty, what crimes are committed
In thy NAME" into "Oh politics, what BAN
boozlemeuts are practiced in thy gamer'
There has never, perhaps, been more dis
creditable tissue of such bamboozlements
than the Republican party has exhibited
in connection with the public revenues and
expenditures. When the Presidential eiec'
ton was pending, Congress made up SET
of estimates intended for elect'oneering
purposes. 1t was extrsvsgsnt enough, IN
all conscience but, as it exhibited some
curtailments of previous extravaganza, it
was trumpeted eli over the country as evi.
dence of intended economy. There was
never a more dishonest attempt at decep-
ton. 1t was merely throwing overheard
of part of the cargo of corruption to save
the remainder and keep control of the ship.
1t was judged better to spend somewhat
less for one year than to lose opportunities
of future plumber by surrendsring the gov.
eminent 70 the Democrats. But no sooner
is the party assured of new lease of power
than the annual estimates mount up nearly
fifty million dollars at single bound-the
mere increase in one year being equal to
the whole revenue of the government in
1852.
Taxpayers, do you remember these
things?
Previous administrations have been ar
raigned for prodigsl and profigste exPendl-
lures.
Now. how do you like the first estimates
under Grants 7icenty-eiqht million
do2lars a year greater than under Johnson's
administration or, over roRTY-NINE MILLION
DOLLARS more next year than was appropri.
ated fox the present year.
Such is Radical economy, and you and
all of US must foot the bills-the poor man
must be made poorer, while rich roll in ele.
gance and f.re sum ptuously every day.
Time was when this kind of talk was
called treason and copperhead venou-now
you know il is Gods truth, for you have
been made to feel it.
Are taxes high? They must be to keep
the public crib filed with provender for
these thieves and densgogues.
They have told you that taxes were high
that the public deb. might be paid, and now
they steal the surplus, --ocer .torty-nine
million dollars
They have sung loud peaus Of the..reduc-
ton of the public debt. Now, how do you

DEERE'S WALKING CULTIvATOR

The experience Of the las. few years has ena-
bled farmers TO compare the various Walking
Cultivatorr, test their merits and observe the
result of the operation of each.
In the light Of this experience we ask atten-
ton Of farmers to the following reasons why
they should buy the Deere " alking Cultivator 4:
Let. A greater yield of corn can be made with
it than with others, as they pillow to a greater
depth, effesting more thorough cultivation and
leaving cleaner fields. For proof of this We re-
fer to all farmers who have them in use.
I'd. Our new patent axle with spindle cast
| separate, and held in position by wooden pins,
efectually prevents brcsksge. either from care
lessness or unmanageable teams. When sub
jected to undue strain the wooden pin break and
saves any material portion of the machine from
injury.
Sd. Experience has shown that no Cultivator
can be shortened hey ond a certain point without
seriously impsiring its working qualities; and
that ours possesses advantage. over others in
| steaiinese, breadth of sweep of shorels, non-ls-
bility to clog, ease of handling aud quality Of
work.

without any other help than a cane, and in some
instances without requiring even that assistance.

The agony that some young mothers undergo
! from the caking of milk in the breasts, ulcera-

the ramlilary organs, is extreme. And yet a
tew applications of the Ointment would remove
the difficulty and enable the sufferers to resume
the maternal function and continue TO exercise 1t

child as well as the health of the mother NAV
depend on her ability to nurse it, this fact hich
