The hymn concluded, venerable lady
knelt in the crowd, and with voice scarcely
audible at first, but gathering strength rs she
became excited, earnestly pleaded with GOD IN

upon the proceedings of the friends OF the
cause of temperance. Then was sung the

During this prayer many strong man wept.
It was the sweetly earnest voice and the sim
picitv OF the petition that brought the tears,

This was Monger himself, who, having pushed
through the crowd during the first prayer, had
entered the saloon. and could be seen sitting
behind the bar, cigar in mouth, a Cincinnati
newspaper in his hand his feet stuck upon
the counter and occasionally winking and
smiling at some invisible sympsthlzer in the
dark recess of the same room. At the win

amused at what was going on; and at another
window of the same house was woman

NOTICE.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The speech of Mr.. Dawes in favor of a
reduction of expenditures by government
cannot fail to make wholesome impress
sion upon Congress. 1t has prepared the
people to expect an earnest effort at re-
trenchment, and if that expectation Is not
realizsd there will be dissatisfaction of a
serious character. What the Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means says
about the condition of the treasury and
the increase of expenses is entitled to the
credence Of all republicans. He cannot be
accused of representing things more I'M
favorably than they are from partisan mo-
tives, as the opposition invariably do, and
so his statements viii be received as truth
full and honest. Congress will not fail to
feel the force Of the sentiment which has
been created among the people. Those
members who undertake to assail MIR.
Dawes, if any such there may be, will
very likely find their constituents upon
the side of Mr.. Dawes and themselves
without support in the questions at issue
1t is said that he has made mistakes in his
presentation of facts and figures that rem
der his exhibit, more unfayorable than The
reality in this he must of course submit to
correction, but all attempts to censure him
for making an honest exposition of the
financial condition of government and
setting forth the necessity for retrench-
ment will be more hurtful to those who
try it than to him. The republican party
demands economy; those are its most re-
spected servants who point out its errors
and deficiencies and lead in the path of
correction.
Even more necessary than retrench-
ment in expenditures is the need of re-
sistance to measures for the initiation of
the currency. There are western men,
bers of Congress who clamor for more
currency as though their existence de-
pended upon it, or as though the creation
and circulation of more paper money
would add substantially to the wealth of
the country. This we trust is not the
opinion of the majority in Congress. We
hope the republicans at least will be found
in harmony with the national platform Of
our party, or with the more recent decla-
ration of the Connecticut republican State
convention, which declared against a
farther increase of the currency and the
adoption of measures for the resumption
of specie payments. If the Western States
which appear by their representatives in
Congress TO demand an increase of the
currency could be gratified in their wishes,
they would launch the country in fnan-
cial policy which would end in general
disaster. They are heavily in debt, with
enterprises beyond their present ability to
pay or present capacity to employ profta-
bly,, but they must seek some other way to
get rid of their debts and embarrassments
than to force the government into excess
sive issues of paper money. The path of
national security is towards specie pay

PHYSICIANS REPORT OF A REMARKABLE CASE.
GAGETowN, N. B., July %,
Mr.. JAMES L. FELLOWS, Chemist-Dear Sir !:
Allow me to bear my testimony in favor OF
your Compound Syrup Of Hypophosphites. l
have used it myself for Tuberculosis with
marked benefit, and have given it to great
number of my patients, with the same results
as l experienced from its use. During the
last seven years / have devoted myself al
most exclusively to the treatment of Con-
sumption. having cases under my care In all
parts of the Province; so that am enabled
to speak from experience of the benefits de-
rived from its use.
The most marked was a case which was un-
der my care in March last. This was a pa
tent who had been under treatment nine
months with no beneficial results. When
first saw him he was SO feeble that he could
not sit up long enough to have his heart and
lungs examined. What disease he had been
treated for did not appear, but l found him
suffering under Chronic Splenitis. He had
severe Cough, Dyspnea, Palpi.ation of the
Heart, Impaired Digestion, and consequent
general emaciation. l put him under treat
ment, prescribed your Compound Syrup of
Hyposphites, and after using four bottles he
was able to attend to his farm, and is now
perfectly WELL In March he was given up by
four physicians respectively; in May he as
sisted in p.oughing eighteen acres of land,
and had run up in flesh from 1876 to l5S pounds
weight.
l send you this for the purpose Of making
what use you please of it, and wish you all
success in your labor for the benefit of suffer-
ing humanity.
Strongly recommending the use of your
Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites to all
who suffer in any way from disease or weak
ness of the Lungs, Bronchial Tubes, or gen.
eral debility. Believe me your obedient SER
want. j. IL. w. SCOTT, NJ. ID.
