BILE piece OF paper or in other words to get some-
thing which has a fixed value in Canada or
England, instead of something which can only
be passed in his own land and not there except
at constantly fiucuuating discount. Whatev
er hostility to resumption emanates from the
west onght to be comparatively easy to over
come because it so Numerically at war with
the true welfare of the agricultural interest
The non-producers of the country, chose who
live upon the industries in which they have no
part, who buy and sell and speculate, are the
ones who will be chiefly benefited by return
to initiation and high prices. And now that
the panic has made sad inroads upon the
means and the influence of this class, it is an
suspicious moment for the masses, who have
property to interchange to fix upon some medi-
UNI by which they can supply each others
wants, that possesses the virtues of solidity
and stability.
A far more serious obstacle to our extrication
rom the evils of an unsound currency than
Western opposition, lies in the way of that con-
summation in the fact that the Treasury re-
serve has been seriously diminished The pur-
chase of bonds drew fourteen millions of dol
lars out of the government exchequer. A con-
siderable portion of this has been replaced from
the forty-four millions, which the Secretary
holds as his minimum cash balance. To restore
it will take long time, even if there should be
no falling off in the customary receipts for tax
es. year at least may be counted upon as
the period which mus elapse before it could all
be got back again. The greenback issue there
fore must be reckoned at somewhere near $780,

we shall have more paper money than ever, and
what with the decline in general prices and
reduction in the number of money absorbing
enterprises, there will be far less use for it,
During the ensuing three months, the move
ment of the bread stuffs of the west, and the
cotton of the South will keep this paper in use
full activity but after that there will come
time when we shall inevitably have plethora
of money unless circumstances tend to reduce
the volume of our currency. 1t almost always
happens that the greatest glut of money here is
perceptibe in January and July, that is before
the crops begin to come forward and after their
transportation and distribution have ceased
1t is at these seasons of the year the bank de-
posits reach their maximums and the interest
paying institutions swell their loans to dam
gerous point by the purchase of paper and on .
the hypothecation of stocks
Now if the banks will refuse to buy deposits,
and can thus increase their reserve when money
is plenty, there will he less of mere crazy spec
ulat'on and more of genuine faith in the credit
and stability of our moned Institutions These
are the things which will help materially to
put America on financial equality with the
rest of the world and stimulate our trade to the
EXTREMIST limit of our surplus productions.

The Most Popular Medicine ,Extant


And after thirty years trial. the .tPAlN-KILLER'
may justly be styled the great medicine of the world
for there is region of the globe into which it has
not found its way, and none where it has not been
largely and hi ghly priced. Moreover there is eli
mate to which has not proved itself to be well adapted
for the of considerable variety of Diseases lit
admirably suited Tor every race 1t has lost none of
its good name by repeated trials but continues to
occupy prominent position in every medicine chest;
and is still receiving the most unqualified testimonials
to its virtues from persons of the highest character
and responsibility Physicians of the first respect
ability recommend it is as most efectual prepara-
ton for the extinction of pain. 1t is not only the
best remedy ever known for Bruises, Cuts Burns, &c.
but for Dysentery or Cholera, any sort of bower
complantt is remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and
rapdity ofacton In the great cities of India and other
hot climates, it has become the Standard Medicine
for ali such complaints, well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and other kindred disorders For
Coughs and Colds Canker, Asthma, and Rheumatic
difficulties it has been proved by the most abundant
and convincing testimony to be an invaluable medic
cine No article ever attained such unbounded pop
ularity. AS an external and internal medicine, the
Pain-Killer stands unrivalled.
ThirtyYears are certainly long enough time to
prove the efficiency of any medicine, and that the
PAIN-KILLER is deserving of all its proprietors
claim for it, is amply proved by the unparalleled
popularity it has attained. 1t is a SURE and EFFEC-
TIVE remedy 1t is sold in almost every country in
the world, and is becoming more and more popular
every year. Its healing properties have been fully
tested, all over the world, and it need only to be
known to be priced. Be sure you buy none but the
genuine, manufactured by PERRY DAVIS & Son,

THE, hearing on the petition of several
stockholders of the Maine Central Railroad
Company living at Kendalrs Mills, for an in
junction to restrain the Directors from build
ng a bridge across the Kenneoec between
that place and WaterviIle, and otherwise
changing the location of the road, will take
place to-day at Augusta, before Judge Dan
forth, instead of Skowhegan as heretofore
stated, The causes set forth in the PRAYER of
the petitioners for an injunction, are as fol-
lows:
1st, The Directors by building this bridoe
and changing the location are wasting the
money of the stockholders.
I'd, That the bridge the directors are build
ing will obstruct the river and thereby i'm
pede the driving of logs and timber
Sd, Because the Directors, in changing the
location of the road, are acting in open viola
ton of the act of the Legislature of 1872.
which forbids such change of location without
the express authority Of that body.
The petition for the injunction is signed by
four stockholders who hold one share each,
which was transferred to them September

ohioAao is IN state of evaporation be-
cause tne State officials have assessed it "a
per cent. of the entire tax of the State or
has placed upon Cook County one-fourtb of
the entire tax of Illinois. Last voor ruho,,
it was less than one half as large i uas

ticularly oppressive is that quite a numhar 80
counties were lured several years sincesinto
giving bonds in aid of railroads, these bondo
in the aggregate amounting to s1s, 600 600
bearing interest at nine per cent. Some time
ago the Legislature saddled the whole of this
debt upon the State. Now Chicago has the
