Treatise On Nervous Diseases

During the year 1866 DR.. G. Edgar Lothrep had a
new and peculiar drug, from the interior of Africa,
brought prominently under his notice by the very
strange effect it produced on an animal who had
accidentally swallowed large quantity. Owing to
this circumstance he was led to make many expert
ments on the lower animals and he soon discovered
that it had very peculiar effect the Nervous Sys
tem This induced him to experiment both on himself
and some of his patients, and such was the wonder

afflicted with nervous diseases, that DIR. Lothrop
came to the conclusion that he had discovered new
and valuable addition to the medicines OF the phar-

junction with some others, cured nervous diseases OF
all kinds with certainty and rapidity of which he
had no previous conception
A few words on that special disease generally known
as Nervous Debility Weakness This is in most cases

The second point was, to make perfect cutoff

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-12-10

The Northwest seems to be afflicted
with typhoidal feyers. There is some
doubt as to the cause Of that form of
disease. 1t is believed by many to be
really manure feUer and to be pro-
duccd by the reabsortion into the hu-
man system ofexcrementitious particles,
especially through drinking water.
We would therefore advise our friends
not to use water irem wells in close
proximity to priyies and in digging
wells to avoid locating them where any
drainage can carry dangerous matter
into them. Onr soil is
especially light and porous
and very often we have seen the we'll
and the sink in dangerous proximity to
each other.
The Z. S. census shows that there is
a higher rate of death in Minnesota
from typhoid fever, than in any other
State. Let our farmers look to it.
Cisternwatcr is much healthier in
many ways than well water; and it has
been found that cholera avoids families
that use only cistern-water. Water
heavily impregnated with lime derang-
es and disorders the system and leaves
it open to disease and death.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

COMMUNISM.

An honored friend writes us that his
neighbors think we are prone to sscom-
munism.
What is communism O. It means
community of goods; destruction of
the rewards of labor; and the aboli-
ton of civilized society. To state the
proposition is to denounced it.
The gospel we have preached in these
pages, simply means fair play.
Article 10, section 4, of the State
constitution, says:
call corporations, being common car.
riers, enjoying the right of way in pur-
suance Of the provisions of this section,
shall be bound to carry the mineral
agricultural and other productions or
manufactures. on equal and reason
able TERMS
Is this communism No one pre-
tends that it is. Is it then communism
to enforce it Is i communism to de.
clare what those equal and reasonable
terms shall be, and to require COM
mon-carriers to carry on those terms
and none other? Surely not.
What else have we preached9 That
it is the farmers who poll the majority
Of the votes and pay the greater part of
the taxes and that for their own good
and the safety of the nation, they
should be educated, intelligent.
thoughtful men: knowing their rights
and ready to maintain them. Is this
communism If so, then education is
communism.
The primary strata. the igneous
rocks of our national structure,-bear.
ing on their face the traces of the
flames Of the countless revolutions out
of which they were created,-are the
equal rights of all citizens, one with
another, and one section with another,
through all the broad land. We have
protested against a system Of revenue.

taken the property Of one citizen and
transferred it to the pocket of another !;
and has robbed one section to enrich
another. Is this communism Surely
not.
There is rot, necessarily, any conflict
between capital and labor. Capital is
born of labor, and labor is barren with
out capital; and there is no point
where you can say, here capital ends
and labor begins. But capital may OPP.
press capital. The capital invested in
railroads may seek to steal the capital

either case it is the duty Of the states

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

We shall give from time to time the
expressions, pro and CON, Of the differ
ent newspapers Of Minnesota on the
question of United States Senator. The
Rochester Post, (Rep.) says:
''The writer has been through one Of
those candidate mills-the one in which
Senator Ramsey's last grist was ground
out: and we have never yet been able
to see that it subserved any other pur-
pose than to enable few members of
the Republican party who had promised
their votes to at least two. and some of
them to all three Of the then Republic
can candidates, to walk up in secret
meeting from which the people were all
locked out, and drop into hat sly
ballot selling out one or more of the
candidates to whom their word and vote
had been pledged. That caucus was
merely means of finding out how many
OF those fellows would cast in secret a
vote that they would not give openly !;
and then the frank and outspoken men
who had no reason to want any caucus,
were compelled to vote for the man who
had got nomination by miscount of
one vote in his favor, in that refuge of
scull-duggery and chicanery, the Sena-
torial caucus. We confess that we
have no reverence for that kind of a
caucus, and we do not see why the peo-
pie of Olmsted county should want
their Representatives to pretend to
represent them in any such farce
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-12-10

Yes. all New England, the hot-bed of
the protective tariff, requires about as
much wheat as two-thirds of what Min
nesota alone produces for export in one
year of favorable crop. But what is
to become of the wheat of Iowa, Wis
consin, Illinois. Kansas, Nebraska, Cal
ifornia, &c. Are we to stuff all that
into the distended stomach of New
England. for says the Republican !:
The home market is really the princi-
pal dependence of our producers %
And this stuff represents the average
intelligence of the Protectionist-Repub-
lican editor These are the teachers
Of the people The blind leading the
blind and both falling into the ditch.
We have over sixty million bushels
of wheat, annually, of surplus, for
which there is no demand in this coun-
try, and With must go abroad. When
it gets to Liverpool it there finds the
Canadian wheat. Is it matter of any
moment whether that Canadian wheat
reaches Liverpool ria New York or
Montreal And should not We have
the same chance to send via Montreal
OF New York especially if the Montreal
route WIS twenty cents per bushel
cheaper
And why do we not get this impor-
tant advantage ?
Because free trade with Canada is a
stepping.stone to free trade with the
whole world; and as the State Church
party Of England opposed the disestab-
lishment Of the Irish Church, because it
would inevitably lead to the disestab-
lishment Of the English Church, so the
New England Protectionists oppose free
trade with Canada, because it will GER
tainly bring about free trade with all
mankind.
This is the whole story. And through
what mechanism are they working to
prevent Minnesota farmers from get
ting 20 cts. per bushel more for their
wheat? Through the Republican par

mystery everywhere, and, if you will allow
me to say so, have sometimes-not some
times, but oiten-in the spring time watched
the advance of the sprouted leaves, and Of
the grass, and Of the flowers, and observed
the general JOY of the opening Leaf in ma
ture, and have asked myself this question.
Can it be that there is no being or thing in
nature that knows more about these matters
than do? Do in my eagerness represent
the highest knowledge of those things ex-
listing in the universe? Ladies and gentle
men, the man who puts that question fairly
to himself, if he be not shallow man, If
he be man capable of being penetrated by
a profound thought, he will never answer
that question by protesting that creed of
atheism which has been so lightly directed
to me. [Cheers.p'
1t seems to us that investigation into
the modes by which God works cannot
be made to disprove God. The pur-
pose IN Nature must have a Will be-
hind it !; and to argue because we are
able to pry a few inches into the mate
rial of the Universe. that therefore
there is nothing but material in
it; would be very much as if
we argued that because we
knew how the clothes on mans back
were made that therefore there was no
man in them.
Who imposed these subtle tendencies
on matter-and wherefore Can that
piece of marvellous work, man, that com.
pick combination of a thousand ele-
ments, be the work of blind accident ?
Surely not.

not unwilling to be elevated to that
great Office, in order that he may avail
himself of "the opportunity afforded to

This is very modestly put, but
Messrs. Ramsey and Davis will be good
enough to take notice that it means
business. Especially Davis. The alb
rogation of the caucus would cause
every Granger in the Legislature to
cleave to Donnelly with hooks of steel.
They would probably never vote for a
Democrat-certainly never for a Re-
publican. Donnelly would thus have q
clear balance of power. aud would be
enabled to maintain a deadlock. or
dictate his own election. Hence Dom
nelly is likely to be the competitor
whom Ramsey must encounter in the
event of the abrogation of the caucus.
This is probably the way Donnelly
figures it. The result will show
whether his figures be reliable.

AN EYE-OPENER.

Where are all the horrible Southern
outrages which filled the Republican
papers only month ago! What has
become Of the muir eis. arsons, rapes,
and general treason with which every
shEddering gale from the South was
burdened The Democrats have swept
the North, and yet the holocaust Of
death has not begun! Where is JEFF.
Davis? Why hasn't he called on the
rebels to rise again! Why in the name
Of thunder don't the war which we
We're promised begin?
All, gentlemen, that scenic thunder
was only intended to last until election.
Your Black Crook is played out; the
devils have taken off their horns and
washed their faces, and the sulphurous
flames of your mimic hell are all cxtin-
guished.
Now, worthy Republicans. you
who lived for weeks on that buttered
thunder you who believed in it you
who thought that the volcanoes of pcrdi-
ton would open in that afflicted South
if Ramsey was not returned to the
United States Senate-what say you
now9 Don't you feel sold! Weren't
you treated like lot of cross babies
and scared with bugaboo Of sticks
and old clothes Aren't you ashamed
of yourselves.
Now listcnto how a leading negro, the
great restaurateur, Geo. T. Downing
an able man and a Republican, talks
since the election opened his eyes. He
is writing to the Richmond Repiew, q
negro paper:
"The Democratic party had to some ex-
tent the aid OF the colored vote it will de-
sire to retain those who voted with it and
win more. 1t will not be polite to repel
it will not outrage them"
That S it precisely. Let the negro,
vote divide up and both sides will
court them and defenc them, and
that produces peace and prosperity
anu DuL tuem
together in one solid aass, as the Re-
publieans have done by appeals to their
ignorance and their prediudices, and
politics becom matter Of race.hat-
reds, and can breed only brutality and
disorder.
And Mr.. Downing adds
The white Southerlier is no more hostile
to the colored Southerner than is the North
erner In fact the former feels closer 10 You.
There il more blood relation. Plantation and
other intimscies have been closer and more
feeling. Win the esteem Of your nesghbors.
prove yourselves entitled to respect; de-
inand 4, and 1t will be accorded to you. Az
for positions and hsnors, time will set them
right. Old asperites and invidious discrim-
mating lines will fade out
True as the gospel. All, the recent
elections have been a great eye-opener
to black and white alike; and the most
cheering event Of the last ten years is
the fact that the negroes are dividing
up, as other nationalities and races do,
between the political parties.
God give the Whole land more Of
brotherhood, peace and love.
