Diamond Rheumatic Cure.

In its history this invaluable Medicine occupies
the most honorable position possible for any rene
dy to attain. A few years since il was known only
10 the friends and neghbors and patients of the
proprietor, and always sought for by them when
ever troubled with Rheumatism, and in this way
came to the notice of physicians generally, and
through their favorable expression, and Its ac-
know edged value a Rheumatic Remedy the de-
mand for 1t became so frequent and urgent to
obge its proprietor to mere his facilities for its
manufacture. Its reputation rapidly extended, and
-sooD orders, letters of inquiry / tiers of thanks,
and certificates of praise were daily received from
all sections of the United States and Canada and in
this way, on basis OF its merit alone unaded by
trcks oftrade" special eortsit has risen to its
present enviable position. Wherever introduced
has received the most hattering preference in the
treatment of all rheumatic complaints. In this we
arc really grateful and happy, not alone because
our medicine finds ready sale, and is consequently
profitable to us do we say this, but because we
open new field in medical science and cure at
once what the best medical practitioners have for
ages found so difficult even to relieve. We fill a
place heretofore unoccupied. We relieve the suf-
lering and minister to Gods poor; we restore the
laboring man TO the use of his injured limbs, and
save him scores OF times its cost ia doctors bills ;
we carry contentment and gladness into the home
of the afflicted, and consequently are remembered
by millions OF grateful souls.

At the regular meeting Of Pomona
Grange, No. 2, of Berkeley county,
July 3lst, the following resolutions
We're adopted
WHEREAS, We, the Patrons Of
Berkeley county, feel that our rights
and interests are trampled upon by
the issuance of certain Ordinance
by the Council of Martinsburg, pro-
hibiting us from hitching in the
streets, under penalty of a fine of not
less than one or more than five doll
lars, while transacting our business.
BE it therefore
Resolued, That unless this nuisance
is removed, or some accommodation
arranged for our convenience other
than we have, lit being. impossible to
find places to hitch on public days}
we will be reluctantly forced to mar
ket our produce in other directions.
And that the Secretary of Pomona
Grange No. 2, of Berkeley county be
authorized to have these resolutions
printed in the columns of the county
papers.

The s.Hitch.u

Elsewhere will be found resolutions
passed by Pomona Grange, p. of III.
in relation to the Ordinance recently
passed by the Council, preventing
the 'hitching of horses on the streets
sof the town. We recently took
grounds against the sweeping charac-
ter of the Ordinance, and argued
that some middle policy should be
adopted satisfactory to the people of
the town and country. In the town
there is a diversity of opinion; the
majority, we think, anxious for "a
medium course, that will give ample
opportunity to reasonable persons to
transact business without having
their horses molested. Beyond a
doubt the all-day and the halliday
visitor should be prevented from al
lowing their horses to paw up the
cutters and scatter mud over
passers-by, and, as an act of justice
to the animal, it should be better
cared for. Granting that the conn
try people have great cause for COM
plant against an Ordinance that is
passed in the night and enforced in
the morning, that is unconditional
and absolute, still, we doubt the pro
priety of any organized body attempt
ing to dictate to the municipal au-
thorities. Aggrieyed and wronged
they may be, but we have always been
taught that "two wrongs never made
a right. The harsh legislation of
the Council cannot be mended by
harsh measures on the part of the
Patrons Aggressive and intoler-
able measures is but a repetition of
the act of which they complain. and
they but place themselves on an
equality with wrong when it is at
tempted. Those opposed to the Or
dinance have advocated its modifica-
ton, and the proper thing for the
Changers to do is to appoint com
mittee to meet the Council and ask
a RECESSION of the wrong. Failing in
that, then sterner measures are pro-
per. We think on the whole a little
patience and forbearance just now,
together with a reasonable discussion
of the merits of the question, will
cause more satisfactory conclusion
than a bitter wrangle.

The financial problem before the
American people, Is one that may
well engage the attention Of political
economists. With our manufacture
ing interests crippled and all branches
of trade depressed. we anxiuuSly
await solution az the problem.
which can he reached only lly an. ex-
animation of the causes which led to
this unhappy condition. Fer ten
years prior to 1878, in our intercourse
With foreign nations, the balance Of
trade was against us. But thK vast
sums borrowed 10y the Government
abroad laggregating about 81 900 600
GOO, and put in circulation prevented
" for the time being the drain from
being felt. AS we approach the time
when tile payments of annual inter-
est approximates the sum total of the
principle borrowed, we stagger under
the load.
In addition to these sources Of de-
pletion, we have in our great internal
Improvement companies heavy hor-
rowers Of foreign capital. Indeed, it
seems to us our railroads are run in
the interest of foreign capitalists.
When we consider that gold and
silver is the only medium recognized
| i'll our foreign relations as money, we
understand why America, althougla
gold producing country is poor in the
precious metals. When we remember
that to liquidate thirty year bond,
we have to pay out nearly three dol
lars for every dollar received, the
peiplexity OF the financial situation
flashes upon us. The exigency must
he met, but how ? In the worlds
markets our manufacturers cannot
compete, the price Of labor raising
the cost Of production ton virtual
embargo. Wemust then fall back on
our cotton and serials to balance our
foreign trade We must do more than
balance il If we would return to pros
perity ON gold basis. To do this
the ladies of America must forego
the silks and laces Of Lyons. Tie
males, the. wines of Rordaeux, fine
clothes Of England, and the tobacco
of Cuba. fpf a
During the year 1871, we imported
