dies, spending thousands of dollars in trav-
cling and doctoring, have by the use of a
few bottles entirely recovered their health.

LIMIT YOUR WANTS.


From the nature of things the income
ofmost of the inhabitants of the earth
must be limited, and indeed within very
narrow bounds. The product of labor
throughout the world, if equally divided,
would not make the share of each indi-
Vidual large. 1t is impossible that every
one should be called rich. But it is by
70 means impossible to be independent.
And what is the way to compass this
glorious privilege" as Burns appropria-
tely designates it? The method Is very
simple. 1t consists of one rule: Limit
your wants, make them few and mex
pensive. To do this would Interfere but
little with your real enjoyment. 1t is
mostly matter of habit. You require
more, or you are satisfied with less, Just
as you have accustomed yourself to the
one or the other. Limit your wants, es-
innate their cost and never exceed it,
taking pains always to keep it inside
your income. Thus you will secure your
lasting independence. Young men |
think of this, A great deal of the happi-
ness Of your lives depend upon it. After
having your money, spend it as you
choose, honestly; but be sure to make it
first. 3ys. ,s qtfsn fs
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-11-18

The New York Sun discourses the
causes which defeated the Democracy in
Pennsylvania, and says: tIE
"But in Pennsylvania, on the other
hand, there is reason for regret. The
Treasury Ring, the method of addition,
division and silence, the pestilence that
walketh in darkness, the system of Kem-
lie and Mackey seems to be fastened
upon that hapless State more firmly than
ever Under the pickpockct and high
wayman's doctrine, which now seems to
be confirmed in its hold on power, Penn
sylvahia has long been the most corrupt
State of the Union, and one of the most
shameful; but if her people are willing
to have itso, it will require long period
of missionary labor to convert them to
healthier sentiments and more republi-
can institutions.p itl
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-11-18

The Democracy did better in Ohio
than in any other Northern State, in
creasing their vote $4,000 over two years
ago, in the face Of the fier0est opposition
encountered by any party. In Pennsyl-
vania we have about held our own, and
have been beaten only by the false regis
tration in Philadelphia. In New York
the Democratic loss on last years vote is
nearly or quite 10000. Had certain of
the leaders in New York been faithful,
we should have carried the three great
States of the Union in spite of Radical
money, false registration and fraudulent
voting. But recriminations now will do
no good. Let the Democracy and the
friends of reform profit by the lessons of
experience, and prepare for the great
Presidential contest which is to decide
whether, after century of successful
trial, a free gov, rnment is to be main
tained.-PM. Post. l-.lr
