PERRY DAVIS

Has been tested in every variety of climate, and
by almost every nation known to Americans. 1t
is the constant companion and ineStimablc friend
of the missionary and the traveller on sea or land,
and no one should travel on our Lnkcs on Rtrcrs

Since the PAIN-KILLERw was first introduced,
and met with such extensive sale, many Limi-
n,cntS RcticfS, FtnnccnS and other Rcmc'tics have
been offered to the public, but not one OF them
has ever attained the cnridbic Shtndiny Of the
PAIN-kI LLER.
WHY is THIS SO!
tits because DAVIS PAIN-KILLER is what
it claims to be-a Relever of Pain
Its Merits are Unsurpassed.
Ifvou arc suffering from INTERNAL PAIN,
Tircnty or Thirty drops IN Lite Water will al
most instantly cure you. There is nothing to
equal it for
collie, Cramps. HEARTBURN, Diarrhcra, Dyscntc-
nv. Flux, Wind in the Bowels, Sour Stom-
ach, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache.
In sections of the country where
FEVER AND AGUE
prevails. there is no remedy held in greater cS-
tecm. Persons travelling should keep it by tlcm
A few drops in water, will prevent sickness or
bowel troubles from change of water.
From foreign countries the calls for PIIN-
MILLER are great. 1t is found to
Cure Cholera when all other Remedies Fail.
UTTEN USED EXTERNALLY, AS LIN
IlENT,, nothing gives quicker ease in B"'"$
CWtS, Bruises, Sprains, Sings from Insects and
.Stmhix. 1t removes the fire, and the wound heals
like ordinary sores. Those suffering with RHEO-
MATISM GOET, or NEURI LGId, if not
postiye cure, they find the I'tm- Killer gives
them relief when no other remedy will.
1t gives instant relief from Aching Teeth.
Every House Keeper should keep it at hand
and apply it on the first attack OF any Pain. 1T
will give satisfactory relief and save hours OF suf-
fering.
Do not trinc with yourselves by testing untricd
remedies. BE you call for and get the gcn-
uine P.iIN-EILLER, as many worthless nos
trumS are attempted to he sold on the great repu-
tatOn ofthiS valuable medicine.

obligated himself to deliver a specified guam
tity within given time.
As an objection to the organization, it is
reported by some persons that we are ku-klux
in another color. If this is so, the best radi-
Gals of the North are at the head of it, and
we are in good company this time. Politics
does not enter into the organization. 1t is
composed of men of all parties. Many of the
leading members throughout the country, and
most of the officers of the National Grange,
are Republicans. And though not poiti-
cal organization. it is not denied that many
proposed reforms must come through leglsla-
tion. But if the oranges direct the ship so as
to exclude demagogues and defeat pernicious
legislation, it will only be the better. Color
ed men arein the organization, and the speaker
would not regret, were everything congenial,
that they were all there, where they could
learn many things to their advantage that
they do not now know. Each grange regu-
lates its own membership, and if one grange
admits a colored man it is not the business of
another.
The speaker made complimentary alusion
to the ladies, explaining the obvious advanta-
ges an exertion of their influence would have
in favor of the organization. Then excusing
himself from further extending his remarks,
but preferring to address the members eSclu-
sively. in their own circle, where he could best
employ the limited time at his disposal, he
closed. ,,.,,
Such is brief outline of Major Mills ad-

sneaker full justice. The Major IS fluent and
graceful in manner, and was attentively heard

ATRUE BASIS OF uNIryc,Tror

It has not escaped the observation Of
the distant public that the most cogent
term of the late uniication agreement
was division Of the Offices. We can not.
0; course, have the same confidence in
this business basis as we would In one
that should recognize the truth that all
people were created by the same benevo'
lent Heavenly Father. who gave them the
same earth to inhabit, the same fruits t(
cultivate and enjoy, and who is especially
pleased to see them dwell in amity in the
scenes He has vouchsafed them. Perhaps
it will be to expect too much that thl'
primeval sentiment should pervade
people who have stood so long IN the re
latiop of master and servant. But
New Orleans Republican., 1873-06-28

due regard to the welfare Of each
Of these peoples would teach that their
conduct toward each other should be
kindly, cordial and just There should be
no fear, jealousy or treachery in their per-
sonal dealings. The basis of an equal
share of Offices can not effect this cordi-
ality. Comparatively few men and no
women hold Office, so that an alliance on
such a basis is mere truce, liable to be
broken at any time. Are there not higher
and wiser considerations for unity? Mil
lions of acres of land belong chiefly to
the white people. Only one arabic acre
in twelve is in cultivation. The sugar
product is but one-fourth in quantity what
it was formerly. Now, this reduction OF
area, and coincident reduction IN the
value of the lands, is attributed to the
scarcity of labor. There is an immense
amount Of domestic service for which
the one race is chiefly dependent
upon another. Experience has shown
the difficulty of superseding or indeed OF
supplementing the services of the colored
people by European immigration. while
the Asiatic pagans are neither fit for citl-
zenship nor for agricultural labor. The
white people of Louisiana possess capital,
intelligence and business experience i'd
dispensable to the industrial welfare OF
the State. They are competent teachers
of Law, morality and enterprise.
How indispensable are these two ele-
ments of society to each other: The
shrinkage Of labor has reduced the value
of land: the alienation and hostility of the
land owner to the laborer has compelled
the latter to conduct his political affairs
without the aid Of him who could best ad-
wise him.
Would not then. an agreement to dis
miss all past causes of alienation and unite
on the basis of common, a vital and an
indivisible interest be the most permanent!
A planter would be better reconciled to
the defeat of friend claiming an office
on his ''half and half basis than he
would to see the laborers quit his cotton
field in June to take the cars for Texas.
If there be joint and reciprocal interest
of these two races in Louisiana it must
follow that they are alike interested in the
honest and economical administration OF
the government The whites own much
the larger part of the taxable values, but
if the taxes compel them to raise rents CT
increase the price of their goods retailed to
the laborer, if the planter can not borrow
money to buy provisions or teams or to
pay his laborers, then these laborers must
| suffer on account of the embarrassment OF
the landlord, retail dealer or employer.
New Orleans Republican., 1873-06-28

the floating debt, and with such warrants as may
remain outstanding to or near par.
The saving o. the State viii. during the remain
ing seven months be from $200,ooO to 100000.
Nor is any creditor of the State wronged. No one
will he forced to sell his warrants, nor will the
full payment of claims be postponed longer than
under the present system. Only that portion Of
warrants which would in any event be sold at
their market value. will be sold directly to the
State without the Intervention OF middlemen. 1t
is apparent that as the proportion of warrants re-
tired to receipts is increased in this manner, the
value of those outstanding must advance, and
thus every class of holders will be benefited.
I have adopted this course with great reluctance,
after a careful review of the difficulties which sur
round the financial affairs Of the State, and with
the firm conviction that it is for the common good,
and while do not ask expect an abatement OF
personal political hostility, trust shall not be
disappointed expecting for this measure that
unprejudiced consideration and support from all
Classes Of citizens which are necessary to make It
entirely successful.
