The Strange DIsea.e.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor
There is feeling like q heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa-
tion at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile a cough sets in, at first
dry, but after few months it is attended
with greenish-colored expectOration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
docs not appear to afford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
giddiness, a sort of wnirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become cOstiye, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick ard
stagnant, the whites Of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
high-c -colored, depositing a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a splitting up
of the food, sometimes with a sour taste
and sometimes a sweetish taste. This Is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is a feeling of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. 1t has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated ii for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, Others for kidney dis
ease, etc, etc, but none of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. 1t is found, however, that the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs mot a patent

move the disease in all Its stages. Care
should be taken to procure q good article.

Financial FaIlacles.


1. That promise of the United States
20 pay dollar Is dollar. II does not
make Il q dollar because the Government
obliges you take 10 for one at a discount Of
twelve OF fifteen cents, In fact failing Of its
promise 70 pay and settling by its note for,
say, eighty-six cents on the dollar.
2. That the aggregate and growing re-
sources of the United States, the immense
wealth Of its citizens, their enterprise
and capital, stand behind its greenbacks
and other national currency called legal
tender. All that stands behind il is the
credit of the United States Government,
and all that buoys up that is the conf
dence Of the world that II will redeem its
promises in honest money, and its power to
tax directly or through imposts, and the
willingness of the people to be taxed. 1t
must redeem its promises to pay. If it
ever does pay, by paying. And all IL has
10 pay with 1t gets out of the people.
Taxation is its only method of production.
And when taxation becomes eXtortion, or
extravagant Government expenditures ne
cessitate more promises 10 pay, and the
people begin to vince or refuse, then
comes reputation, the credit of the Gov
ernment collapses, its legal.tender is fiat,
and its promises to pay are no better than
the old French assignats, or the Continent
al or Confederate currency.
8. That the people need more currency
90 move the crops or for any other busi-
ness exigencies. There is the greatest
plenty oft now waiting for customers.
Anybody can have all they want, provided
they can pay for it in honest work of any
kind, In land or products of any kind.
But as to manufacturing more of IL out of
paper, and then giving it away or forcing
it in the form Of legal-tender sure to de-
preciate, it is a swindls too patiently foolish
and immoral for Uncle Sam to wink at

The Two Records.

We do not say that every friend of the
Union is Republican, but we do say that
every enemy of the Union is a Democrat.
We do not say that every Democrat IA
vored the success of the Southern Confed-
eracy, but we do say that no Republicans
were found in the ranks of the rebel
armies.
We do not say that all the Democrats of
the South have engaged in the Ku-KluX
and White League Outrages, but we do say
that those who committed these outrages
were Democrats.
There are many patriotic Democrats
who desire to do right; who would not,
knowingly, do wrong; who favor the
restoration of their party TO power ecause
they honestly believe that it would best
serve the interests of the nation. If such
men were in the majority, and able 20
control the party, but little danger might
come from their ascendency. But they
are in a hopeless minority, and could no
more control the actions of the Democrat
ic party than an infant could ship at 81 a.
Their good intentions would pass for
naught; their patriotism would have 10
weight; their advice would be laughed at.
These men belong, of right, to the Reput-
lican party. Prejudice has kept them out
of its ranks. They have stayed with the
Democratic party in the vain hope that
they might restore its departed fortunes
and, with them, its lost honor.
We oppose the Democratic party be.
cause we see in its ranks tens of thou
sands of men who are enemies TO the Gov
ernment who make no secret of their
hostility to it and its free institutions. We
favor the Republican party because we
find no such enemies in its ranks. Every
Republican is a proclaimed friend of the
Republic and its free institutions. We
readily admit that some Democrats could
be trusted with power; but there are so
many having controlling influence who
cannot be trusted that opposition to the
party becomes apublic duty. We as free
ly admit that there are some Republicans
who cannot be trusted with power, but
there are so many who can be, who con-
troll the party and shape its policy through
their wisdom and patriotism, that the sup
port OF the party becomes a high public
duty In other words, what we deem the
dangerous element in the Democracy is in
the majority, while in the Republican
party ii is in a hopeless minority. We
prefer party whose majority can be trust
ed to party whose majority cannot be.
In Democracy the few are worthy of con
fidence; in Republicanism the many are
worthy of it. Why should the good citi-
zen hesitate in his choiceY Common
sense and ordinary business sagacity
should be sufficient TO incline him TO the
support OF that party which has the best
record and the largest number of good
men to sustain it.--IPeDuJIie Magazine

Cabinet or ParlOr Organs.

These have become the most popular of
large musical instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
of them in the United States, who produce
more than forty thousand organs per an
mum. Most of these are very poor instru-
ments. This is naturally so, because there
are few articles in the manufacture of
which so much saving can be made by the
use of inferior, improperly prepared ma
terial and inferior workmanship, and yet
which, when finished, show so little diff.
ference to the average purchaser. The
important parts of an organ, made as well
as they can be, cost two or three times as
much as if made as low as possible. Yet,
when the organ is done, it is not easy,
from casual hearings, to tell the difference
between the best and very poor one. Es-
pecially when shown by one who knows
how TO cover up defects, to one who has
not special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make a poor organ appear a
good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to pro-
duce, at fraction of the cost, an organ
which will sell almost as well as a good
one is almost irresistible. Hence the fact
that so few good organs are made and so
many poor ones, and that the country is
flooded with peddlers and dealers selling
these poor organs, which pay such large
profits. The buyer of the poor organ
does not fail to find out his mistake after a
while. The thin, reedy tone of his cheap
organ soon becomes offensive, it works
nOisily and roughly is constantly out of
order, and becomes useless by the time a
really good instrument would have been
getting into its prime. A good organ
ought to last generation, at least; poor
one may last five years, with considerable
tinkerng, or may break down much
sooner.
There is one safe way. Get a genuine
production of one of the very best makers
and you cannot go astray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the
Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are so well known that other
makers are generally content TO claim
that they can make as good an organ as
the Mason d. Hamlin. They invented
dlN lHblOiuCCNl lllG NdDluCt OF
Organ in its improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making onl y the best work
have shown such skill as has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. Al
the Great Exposition at Vienna, in com
petition with eighty of the best makers
in the world, they obtained the highest
medals. To enumerate the competitions
at which they have received similar
honors would be to give list of the
fairs at which they have exhibited; and
to mention the prominent musicians who
recommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give very good lis
of the most illustriOus musical names il
the country, with good representation
in Europe.
One who obtains Mason & Hamlir
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt tha
he has the best instrument of its clas
which can be made.-New York Ind,

How to Get Additional Paper Money
Out.

Obviously there are two ways to set adj
ditional currency atleat One is by buy
ing up United States gold bearing bonds
in the market, or by buying gold TO pay
off the bonds as they fall due. But it is
certain that this method Will answer only
in very limited measure, for this single
reason: AS you put out new greenbacks
with the prospect of large emission the
greenbacks will rapidly depreciate as to
gold, and as the bonds are payable, princi-
pal and interest, in gold they will main
tain their gold value, and their price in
paper money will thereby become so high
that the method of putting out green
backs by purchasing bonds will soon be-
come very unpopular and be dropped. Or
if you mean TO repudiate the bonds, OF
which, as understand, there is at present
no declared purpose, then of course you
will simply repudiate them and not buy
them up at all.
But there is another way to put afloat
new issues of greenbacks. 1t is by carry.
ing the expenses of the Government be-
yond its revenue, and this, / have no
doubt, will be resorted to as the favorite
method. Do you know what that means
Imagine a Congress making appropria-
tions of money for the avowed purpose of
getting out, putting afloat, spending as
much money as possible, and adopting
systematic extravaganza in expenditures
as necessary measure of financial policy
to the end of making and keeping the vol
ume of currency equal to the wants OF
rade. What day of jubilee there will
be among the thieves and rascals who
think they can gain not only wealth but
responsibility by stealing as much as
possible of the public money.-Schurz.

Is the Continuation OF Specie Pay
ment ImpOssible2

Mr.. Schurz, in his reply to Wendell
Phillips latest screed punctures one of
the most common falsehoods of the infla-
ton school, and that is that in times of
panic the Government of Great Britain
has given relief to the country by author
izing the Bank of England TO suspend spe-
Gle payments. Here is what Mr.. Schurz
says on this point:
1.-THE lnflationists are also fond of tell.
ing us that such panics lead sometimes to
a suspension of specie payments by the
banks. This is true as to this country,
but when Mr.. Phillips informs us that
again and again in specie basis English
history the permission given by the Gov
eminent to the bank to suspend specie
payments has been the salvation of the
business community, he glaringly betrays
the greatest ignorance of financial histO-
ry or deplorable disregard of the truth.
In charity we must accept the former.
Every well-informed man knows that,
since the resumption of specie payments
in 1921, specie payments have never been
suspended again in England. Mr.. Phil.
lips, in his evidently somewhat careless
reading, found that now and then in times
OF panic something was suspended, and
he jumped at the conclusion that 1t was
specie payments. 1t is, perhaps, well to
inform him that, instead of the suspen-
sion of specie payments, it was the sus-
pension of the Bank act of 1874, author
izing the Bank of England to issue notes
beyond the amount of specie reserve pre-
scribed by law. That permission has been
given several times, but specie payments
steadily continued all the while. 1t is
urgently recommended to Mr.. Phillips to
commence his historical reading at the
beginning"
We submit this statement to the consid-
Grafton of those who maintain that con-
tinuance of specie payments is impossible.

How to Have Early Fruits and yege
tables,

EARLY fruits or vegetables are luxury
which can be enjoyed by all who possess
a small plot of ground, by devoting a few
hours to the garden. To succeed, in the
first place we should procure the earliest
variety of seed, and by saving for next
years planting the seed of the first fruit
that ripens it can be brought to ripening
in less time every succeeding year, pro-
vided the season is favorable For in
stance, twenty years ago it was difficult to
get my melons ripe before the fall frost,
and some years | only succeeded by cover
ing them on frosty nights; but by saving
for planting the seed of the earliest ripe
fruits have succeeded in havingn1ce ripe
musk-melons by the 18th of August and
watermelons few days later. For carly
vegetables l generally plant the seed in the
ground where they are to grow as early as
the state of the soil will permit in the
spring, and advance vegetation by placing
around each hill four bricks set on edge
and covering with an S-by-10 pane of
glass. In the first place, after well pull
verizing the soil, the surface should be
hoed or raised in small mounds, similar
to potato hills, and the seed covered light
ly on the apex, and the protection of
bricks and glass placed around each
hill. Tomatoes, Lima beans and some
times cucumbers, early sweet corn,
etc., are advanced in the same
manner. After the weather becomes
sufficiently warm the protecting glass
and bricks are removed and laid by for an.
other season. prefer planting the seed
in the ground where the vegetables are to
mature to transplanting from hot-bed, as
the growth after the plants come up is
continuous while the Growth Of tandar
plants from hot.bed is generally checked
for some days by transplanting to the
open ground. Early potatoes may be had
some three or four weeks sooner than their
usual time of ripening by placing small
quantity cut fine in box about the 1st OF
March and covering them with damn
loan and setting them near the kitchen
stove, and when the danger of spring frost
has passed planting or setting them out in
a warm, sunny place in the ground. II
the sprouts from the potatoes are inclined
to grow too rapidly after they are up in
the box, set the box in a cooler place
which will not retard their growth and
harden them, till it is time to set them in
the open ground.
Among the chief attractions of n home
in the country is a farm, fruit garden, and
an orchard of choice apple, pear and plum
trees, and home where such luxurIes arc
provided will always prove attractive tC
the children born on the place; and al
though when they arrive at adult age they
may become separated and reside far from
the home of their youth, the old home
stead Will always possess attractions which
will cause lOngings to revisit the scenes
and joys of our early days.-Hain,

Changing Too Often.

Many man has failed to become sue
cessful farmer through prOneness to make
frequent changes in the products of his
land. Dairy husbandry is tried for few
years, then sheep husbandry, but nothing
thoroughly and long enough to learn the
business, or establish reputation for pro-
duclng t1rst-rate article of any kind.
If man learns from experience or
close observation that his farm is better
adapted to the culture of some other crop
than the one produced, he would certain
ly be foolish not to make a change in ac-
cordance with circumstances. In nine
cases out OF ten, however, a change is not
made from any such consideration, but
merely to do something else which prom
ises to be more profitable
One of our subscribers writes from
Wisconsin that wheat was formerly a
profitable crop upon his farm, but of late
years the land had become so poor that
wheat :" is played out" We would Ger.
tainly advise farmers of this class tomake
a change of some kind, but a man who
will starve his land would probably do
the same thing with his animals; conse-
quently we should not feel justified In
recommending change in this direction.
Better commence to restore fertility TO the
soil, adding deep culture and judicious
rotation of crops, until the worn-out or
exhausted land again produces wheat as
it did in "days of yOre." This kind of a
change is the one of all others needed
over wide extent of country, and before
thousands Of our farmers can begin to
count their profits. Probably one of the
most prolific sources of frequent desires
TO make a change is found in the accounts
of great profits derived from the culture
of certain crops or from keeping certain
breeds of stock, as published in our agri-
cultural papers. OF course we are not
disposed to doubt the truth Of these state
ments, nor depreciate their value to
thinking men, but there are hun
dreds Of persons who "jump at
conclusions, and If they read Of man

fruit or vegetables in the suburbs of New
York city they are inclined 10 think that
something may be done in Maine or Min
nesota. The various maniasn or
"fevers," as they are termed, which have
run riot over the country during the last
half century, causing the loss OF millions
Of dollars to our agriculturists, all orig
mated in the same manner, those who had
the articles for sale finding their custom
ers among those who were ever desirous
OF making q change" in the products of
their farms. The mulberry, or n,0rus
multicdulis, mania and pear, grape and
sorghum fevers left more men poor than
they made rich still, there was an ele-
inent of good in all, but the masses lacked
the discretion which would have prevent.
ei them from purchasing an article or en-
tering into business which they were
confessedly ignorant of. Right here we
would hinge this entire subject of making
changes in products or the general man
agement of a farm. If man proposes to
make any change in his system of culture
he should first ascertain with some degree
of certainty that the new and untried will
prove to be better than the old before at
tempting it.
The same rule holds good in omittinr
one kind of crop and replacing il with an.
other, or changing the breed of animals
in fact the more thorough mans knowl-
edge in this respect the more likely is he
to succeed. 1t is usually much cheaper
to purchase information in books and
periodicals in regard to any branch of ag-
riculture than through experience. Not
that we believe the former can wholly
take the place of the latter, but it is a
much shorter and safer road to reach gen.
eral principle.-N T. Sun.
