for the liquidation of existing liabilities. 1T is
urged with some plausibility that so sudden
change would work hardship to the debtor
interest. But all experience has demonstrated
that the creditor is at the mercy OF the man
who owes him. 1t is the hardest thing possible
to enforce a claim which is not founded in
equity. 1t is one of the least of the evils to be
dreaded from return to a normal standard of
values that those who owe should pay more
than they are morally obligated for. Very
likely some bankruptcies might occur from the
change, but the real victims of insolvency are
the men whose names stand ON the credit side
of the account. The moral suffering to be
sure, is on the side of the delinquent but the pc
cuniary loss falls upon the unlucky creditor.
No doubt many obligations which are at pres
ent in allegiance would be extinguished alto
gether by the adoption of stable currency,
but they are as nothing in comparison with the
new line of liabilities which would speedily be
contracted under renewal of the paper fic-
ton. aud which must finally come to the cruel
BILE of actual valuation. Some time or other
the day of reckoning must come. Why not
now when the volume of indebtedness is COM
parativey small?
The policy of Gen. Grant is before the coun-

principles. But there is no occasion for fear

DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded Of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
be injurious to the human constitution.
Oi her remedies advertised cures for Consump-
tion, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course must make cure impossi-
BILE.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erfu but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs
liver. stomach and blood and thus correct all NOR
bid secretous and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pumonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate i'll this way. it is obvl
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
