IT appears from inquiries made by the late
Gladstone ministry through British ambassa-
dors and consuls, that the practice of official
ly reporting the debates of national legisla-
lures at the public expenseis only in vogue
IN France and this country. In England
there is no official parliamentary reporting,
and the often-referred-to Hansard's Debates
are compiled from the Times reports. In
Germany the papers obtain condensed and
inaccurate reports through the medium of
private bureau styled the Kdn,mercorrespon-
denz. In Italy the reports are very meagre
and imperfect The United States enioys

try which furnishes official reports of speeches

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 can
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
consumptive patients. it must do great injury for
its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure imposs-
BILE.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all
bid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from
the body These are the only means by which Con-
sumption be cured, and as Schencks Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate III this way it is obvl-
Gus they the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
DIR. Schenck is professedly at his principal Office
corner Sixth and Arch Streets Philadelphia, every

following Wednesdays June 10th and 24;h July Sth

The Money Supply.

If the scarcity or plentifulness of money is
to be estimated by the rate of interest it COM
mands, then the currency of the country
must be very plenty, for there has rarely been
season when money has not been worth
more in the open market than at present.
There can be no better test Of the supply of
an article than the price it commands.
When call loans are from two to three per
cent in New York, as is the case at the
present day, it is sure indication that money
is plenty, very plenty. When the Chicago
papers quote lower rate of interest than has
been known in the market for many years,
the fact itself converts Mr. Senator Logan's
OFT repeated declaration that the business of
the country needs more money, into the
merest nonsense. The rate of interest indi-
Gates rather an over than short supply.
And what is true in this country is true in
the money centers of Europe. The interest
OF the bank of England has not been at so
low rate as at present for ten years.
This fact does not arise from any sudden
increase in the amount of money in the
world, for that remains constant or nearly so,
poo - ooC W bIC ucI1ldIll WHICH has SO great
ly altered the past year. Money cannot be
so profitaby employed now as year since.
A year ago the sources of investment were
unlimited, every department of production
was active, railroads were building and bust
ness was what is generally termed good The
panic came and it was soon discovered that
there had been an. over-production, that the
money invested in manufactures and pro-
ductioD generally would not yield a fair re-
turn. Goods began to accumulate in ware
houses, enterprises of many kinds came to
stand still. and general lethargy touched all
kinds of business. Many people attributed
this result to a lack of money, and imagined
that all the wheels of business could be kept
agoing if there was more money, when the
real truth is that the money already invested
would not pay, and no amount of money
coul0 obviate the trouble arising from the
production of more of the articles of exchange
than were required.
The fact that money is cheap and plenty
in the centers of trade at the present time,
plainly shows that the present dull season in
business is not due to its scarcity, and also
that an increase of the circulating medium.
even if better than paper money, cannot re-
store activity. Dizziness in business, large
numbers ofpeople out of employment is the
Story that comes from all countries, and will
continue to come until the surplus of produc-
ton is consumed. OF course it cannot last
long, for, however large the supply, it must
in time be exhausted, and then comes
general season of activity, of which there are
already signs.
The revival of business must be gradual,
and will be accompanied with many changes
IN the condition Of affairs, but can never be
accomplished by any such artificial means as
issuing more paper currency. The fact that
there is plethora of money locked up and
idle in the vaults of banks in large cities,
proves the entire fallacy of the remedy pre-
scribed by the nfationsts.

recalled his acceptance of the Postmaster
Generalship, and will continue to occupy
seat in the House of Representatives. Mr..
Hale's services will be needed more at the
next session of Congress than during the

who have only been baffied thus far. All of
Mr.. Hale's personal friends in this section
