THE FREE TRADE PARTY
May 1873.

The Free Trade Party find it q difficult
task to get their plan adopted by the OPP
position. The democrats denur, the lib
eral republicans oppose, and those who
believe in the principle OF free trade are
unwilling to risk the chances offered them.
The Tribune declares that the opposition
remanded the questions of free 'rale AID
protection to the congressman districts
in the national conventions whic.l nomina-
ted Mr.. Greeley, and that ii will be break
ing faith 10 drag them forth and make free
trade test of party orthodoxy. In 60
ticing the course Of the World the Tribune
says: Il. is a pity that The World should
lose its temper over this or any matter,
but at the risk of offending it we repeat
that the democratic party at Baltimore
dismissed Free Trade just as it did Sla-
very, under the sanctity-and we must in
sist that there is or ought to be some sa-
credness in the obligation which great
party takes upon itself in National Con-
vention-of its national platform. The
great inevitable battle ended, so far as
the democratic party was concerned, at
Baltimore. If The World desires to have
a new party founded on Free Trade, there
is no earthly objection 10 it. But so far as
the democratic party is concerned that
issue is an impracticable abstraction The
guam namtatas' which The World quotes
so elegantly applies to the party which
that journal finds it necessary TO resusci-
tate rather than to those who some time
ago accepted its surrender"
Thus far the World stands nearly alone
in its project, while its opponents, with
the Tribune at their head, are numerous
and spirited. If the World is defeated in
this attempt to lead the democratic party.
it may as well resign forever all preten-
sion to the right, and abandon tho leader
ship of the democracy to the Tribune.

The new route for heavy freights West,
combining water and rail, and requiring only
two transfers-from New York and New En-
gland to Richmond by water, thence by rail
via the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to the
Ohio river, thence by water again to all
points on the Mississippi and its tributaries
is attracting attention among business men
and is likely to be patronzod literally. The
granite of Maine and other qusrries for use
| in the new government buildings in the Mis-.
sissippi valley, promises to be transported by
this route, which seems to have the advantage
of chenpness in its favor. Upon the compile
ton of the link of railroad between Baltimore
and Richmond, the connection between tho
Atlantic coast and the Mississippi river will
be complete. Glo5e.

Consumption can be Cured.
sCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP


SCHENCk's SEAWEED TONIC,
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop cough will
often occasion the death of the patient. 1t locks up
the liver, stops the circulation OF the blood hemor
rhage follows, and in fact, clogging the action OF
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes OF
two-thrds OF the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with duh pain in the side the
bowels sometimes costiye and sometimes too loose
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow-
sy the food that is taken lies heavily the stom.
ach, accompanied with acidity and belching OF
wind These symptoms usually originate from a
disordercd condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver. Persons SO affected If they take one or two
heavy colds, and If the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient is aware of his situation, the lungs are
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in
evitable result.
Schenck's PGlmonic Syrup is an expectorant,
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dssolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juice ofthe stomach, digests
circulation of the blood When the bowels are
costive, skin sallow, and the patient is of bilious
habit, Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared by DIR. j. ii.

cation Of the negroes; and of the Jubilee
Singers, who were an organized BODY of
singers that went through the country giving
concerts to aid the University, for which they
raised the sum of $4,000 There is n sketch
given of the history of each member of the
band, most of whom were colored, and quite
a collection of their songs are published in
this book. 1t also relates many facts about
the schools for freedmen that are interesting.
Lee and Shepard publish in volume en-
titled 1.-THE Wishing Cap Papers," by Leigh
Hunt, work which will be highly reished
by lovers of choice literature. These papers
are now collected for the first time from va
rious sources and presented in compact form.
They are essays written in the pleasantest
vein of the gifted author, upon subjects Of
general interest. They need no more than
the name of the author to commend them to
the ate ntion Of readers.
Those who delight in humor, which we
think is the most of mankind, will hail with
satisfaction new volume by Lee and Shep-
ard, entitled ''Partingtonan Patchwork" by
B. p. Shillaber. This book is one full of
the genius of the author of Dame Partington's
sayings, which are known to all Who read the
papers, and have created as many quiet, good
natured laughs as the works of any humorist
extant. In the present form these writings
will be very acceptable, for every library will
have niche for Mrs. Darlington when she
comes in this shape.
Shepard and Gill of Boston publish new
novel with the title against the World,
by jeanette r. Hadermann. 1t is we'll writ
ten, yivacious work, which will be attractive
| to readers of fiction, particularly to young
ladies, who will find more to interest them ir
its pages than young gentlemen who are font
| of border romances and sea tales.

record by the expulsion of every member
who differs from the majority. The art and
practice of medicine is in possession OF no
single school; and there is but one tribunal
under the sun to which the merits of conflict
ing theories may be referred, and that is to
the good sense and judgment of the public.
Whatever the issue of these proceedings may
be, it can do the members arraigned no pos
sible harm. The time for Star Chamber trials
of this kind has gone by. The court which
resorts to them should be strongly fortified,
or it may be surprised by attacks from with
out much more disagreeable than the pres
ence Of hom0opaths in its counsels.
