MESSRS. CUTLER BROS. & CO..
In ordering another small lot of your in
valuable
Vegetable Pulmonary BalSam
l should like to tell you what kow about it,
in order that others may have the benefit Of
my
EXPERIENCE.
Since this Balsam first came to my notice
in 1913 have kept it constantly in the house,
never allowing myself to be ont of it over
night. In all these
TWENTY-FIVE YERS
it has not failed in a single instance in my
own case to give the desired reliet and /
will say the same in regard to my mother,
whose
LIFE WAS SAVED
by it, as l cannot but think. Hers was L case
of Congestion of the Lungs, and althou 5h at.
tended by most sklliull Physician, she seem.
ed to fail constantly, so that we despared Of
her recovery, when an old friend and neigh.
Dor persuaded her to try this Vegetable Pull
monary Balsam. The result was most graft
flying, assure you.
RELIEF WAS IMMEDIATE
and recovery rapid. She is now over 50
years old, and is active and well. Whenever
she gets a severe cold. which happens once
in while, she takes thirty TO sixty drops,
according to the violence OF the cough, which
has always yielded in day or two by taking
the Balsam only OH retiring at night. With
it the
IRRITATION
is at once 1ubdued, and a good nights sleep
secured.
will mention another case, that of young
lady acquaintance, who
BLEED AT THE LUNGS
and conghed frightfully, had night sweats
and was iearfully reduced She left Boston
for her country home, $50 miles away, 40 we
supposed to die. | sent her bottle OF your
Balsam, and soon had the satisfaction to hear
that she was much better. She continued
taking 1t for while and got
ENTIRELY WELL,
and is living now, which fact is to be ascrib-
ed mainly to the use Of the
Vegetable Pulmonary BaISam.

to be made by the bill in the present system OF
dealing with the Indians. The policy OF feeding
them TO avoid the necessity of fighting them Is to
be continued, and the 1900 savage paupers and
vagabonds, who, according to Commissioner Smiths
statement, are regularly rationed with beef and
-four, not likely to diminish during the ensuing
year. On the contrary, the number OF these free
feeders is likely to increase by the addition OF
certain bands of rowing Sioux, who have lately ex-
pressed their willingness to 60 upon reservation.
Gen. Garfield expresses the opinion that the cost
of the Indian service has now reached Its maximum
figure When the bands of Sioux referred to are
brought on reservation all the Indians in the
country WILL he says have submitted to the control
of the Government and will be in different stages OF
the process which will result either in their ex-
tinctlon or in impartng to them sufficient degree
of civilization to make them self-supporting. In
few years the reservation system ought to justify
itself by making the Indians less dependent upon
GovernmentIbounty and there ought, from that time
forward to be steady decrease in the annual total
of Indian appropriations. If this decrease does not
soon begin, Gen. Garfield thinks it cause for con-
graduation that Congress has at last got to the top
of the hill in Indian expenditures and that no
further advance is to be feared.

This latter requirement, it is thought, would
act as check upon any undue expansion

new banks were organized and the demand for legal

1t would give too much advantage to banks near

WILL THEY DO 1T?

The principal organ of the Democracy
in New York, the journal founded by Hor-
ace Greeley, advises its party as follows ::
''But there is another thing to be done,
"and this can be done at once without diff
"ficulty. The party should lose no time.
"now in the flush of their great victory, in
planting themselves firmly upon the Bal
Gilmore platform of 1872 in relation to the
"rights of the negroes and all the constitu-
"tional amendments.
This is sound, sensible advice. Let us
wait and see how it will be accepted. The
other night at the New York Manhattan
Club, when the jubilant leaders of the
party met to celebrate their unexpected
victories and fire off cannon and rhetoric,
not word was said about these delicate
questions, which some way have the same
effect on the rank and file of the party that
the red cloth has on a certain animal. Let
tiers and dispatches were received from all
parts of the country several speeches were
made, but, strange to say, these important
Of all important topics were forgotten. The
silence is ominous. Perhaps they were
forgotten. Now that the organ reminds
its party of them, it is to be hoped that we
shall have the proper response.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-11-10

would be a very different thing if the
ignorant votes were controlled by the
white Democrats, noted for their intelli
gence and culture, it says, and means,
we suppose, that the colored vote would
then have similar effect in the South to
that now exercised by the ignorant foreign
vote in New York, under the wise, intelli-
gent and benefcent teachings and control
of the Independent Metropolitan press of
the commercial emporium.
Suppose we see for change how this
opinion of the Herald is backed up and
sustained by the Democrats of the South.
Listen to John Forsyth, editor of the Mobile
Register: "The Democracy will sweep
"from the statute book the whole system
"of military and African reconstruction as
"utterly null and void and of no effect
Here is no fear of the arrest of political
revolution. This does not look like a secur
ity of the rights of the negro. And again
the Register says: "Let us recognize facts,
admit that war of races is progressing,
land then every man will range himself
''under the banner of his kindred. For
yourselves, We say no compromise, no uni
"fcation, but white mans rule, white
'man's civilization and a white mans gov
eminent, or Iuin and determination.
Is this the language of the wolf or the faith
full shepherd? And how is this from the
Vicksburg Herald as a coincident of the
opinion of its New York namesake {:
''The top rail is on top in Vicksburg and
Memphis, and soon will be so everywhere
"else in the South. If our political pros
"perity demands it, the negro population
''must be thinned out to give place to white
''labor" And this from the NeOs, an Ala
bama Democratic organ: 1--WE intend to
beat the negro in the strife, the warfare,
1.-The amending battle for life. and defeat
means but one thing determination.
This is the genuine language of love and
protection to the negro from the South.
This sounds like echoes from a nursery of
" freedom, civil rights and elective fran
chise." We congratulate our colOred fel
low-citizens upon the fair prospect which
is presented TO their view by the Herald.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-11-10
WHENCE TIE Alarm?

The more sensible of the Democratic
organs are greatly alarmed just now lest the
rank and file of the party should ''pervert
their victory to unworthy uses" In plain
English, this means they are afraid thatthe
party will break out into unseemly demon
STATIONS of hate and hostility; that down
South especially they will pursue with re-
newed activity their old amusement of kill
ing niggers. Whence this feeling of alarm
and distrust, and why the columns of ad-
vice that are now being written and the
hundreds of speeches that are being made?
Have we not been told again and again that
the situation has been accepted in good
faith that the war, and the results of the
war, are considered forever settled2 Are
we to understand that all these declarations
are so many hollow shams2 What are the
organs of the Opposition afraid of? The
whole performance looks very suspicious,
and we suspect 'the same old niger is
still under the fence"
