its accomplishment, and has worked
nothing but injustice to the business
community and disadvantage to the
Government since it went In force. Not

measure was pinned had the most re-

The Centennial jamboree of Friday
night is now a settled fact and it be-
hooves all good citizens to make the
most and best of it. There are always
differences of opinion at first in affairs Of
this kind, but when Cincinnati decides
the pride OF the city is staked and all turn
in and do their best. Let's have no more
throwing cold water, but general effort
to make the affair creditable and pleas =
ant. The time for considering the pro-
priety of such celebration has passed,
and discussion should now take the
shape of endeavoring to ascer-
tain how to make the affair most Of a
success. But twoI days are left,
and these will be days full of work for
those having it in charge. There will be
no such license as has been indicated.
On the contrary, ample provision will be
made for suppressing any tendency to
rowdyism. On New Years night
many will have their sprees, but the
jamboree need give no occasi on
for an increase of disorder of this kind.
Let those who fear that such will be the
result exert their influence against it's
taking such turn. But let's all help
make the most of the iamboree.

THE GREAT REPUTATION

Which yEGEINE has attained in all parts Of
the country as a
Great and Coed Medicine,
and the large number Of testimonials which
are constantly being. received from persons
who have been cured by its use, is conclusive
proof OF its great value. 1t is recommended
by physicians and apothecaries. AS a Blood
Purifier and Health Restorer, it has no equal
|. VEGETiNE is not prepared for a fancy drink
made from poor liquors, which debflitate the
system and tends TO- destroy health instead Of
restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the
diHerentcomplants satisfactory to any reason
can. be curedp Read the different testimonials
given, and no one can doubt. In many OF these
cases the persons say that their pain and sur
fering can not be expressed, as In cases Of
Scrofuia, where, apparently, the whole body
was one mass Of corruption. II VEGETINE will
relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such
diseases restorlng the p patlent TO perfect healtA
after trying. different physicians, many rcme-
dies, suffering Tor years, is it not Conclusive
proUf, if you are sufferer, you can be curedP
Why is this medicine performing such great
curesS 1t works in the blood, IN Uhe circulat-
ing fluid. Itcsn be truly called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source of disease
originates in the blood; and no medicine that
does not act directly upon it, to purify and
renovate, has any just claim upon public at
tention. When the blood becomes lifelees and
stagnant, either from changeof weather or OF
climate, want OF exercise, Irregular diet, or
from any other cause, the VEGETINE will re-
new the blood, carry of the putrid hunlors,
cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels ana
impart "a tone OF yigor to the whole body. The
conviction is, in the pubic mind as we'll as in
the medical profession, that tine remedies sup
piled by the Vegetable Kingdom are more safe,
more successful, in the cure of disease, than
mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed OF
roots, barks anG herbs. 1t is pleasant TO take,
and is perfectly safe to give an infant. Dc

will never regret 1t.

TEE notable Mrs. Moulton, whose
church afinities have caused her such
profound perplexities, after voluminous
letter writing with the deacons and dig
nitaries OF Plymouth Church on the sub
ject of some sort of an ecumenical coun-
Gil, has had her council granted to her.
We have no special forms Of grace given
us whereby to read the true inwardness
Of Mrs. Mouiton's heart, but we verify
believe that, in getting her council al
lowed, she got exactly what she didn't
want. She wanted it diSdlloaoed by Ply

Gil must come and take one more peep

ter has not only reduced the revenue to
the Government from this source, but
has worked even to the disadvantage OF
the express companies that were ex-
pected to reap so much benefit from it.
Cheap postage has always been found to
increase the business, and an advance
OF rates is seen to work a corresponding
effect in cutting down. And when the
amount Of mail matter of any descrip-
ton is lessened 1t is not the Government
alone that suffers but every branch Of
trade IN which any considerable number
ofpeople is engaged. The mail is one OF
the mediums for seeking customers, and
when the expense of this method is in
creased the exertions will be corre-
spondingly decreased and that much
less goods sold.
This affects the Government again, for
every increase OF business brings an in
crease in the number Of letters posted,
so that the loss to the revenue by the
blunder OF the last Congress is not cor
rectly estimated by showing the loss on
the class of matter directly affected.
The falling off there alone has been
enough to cause q loss greater than the
gain by the increase, but the indirect
loss by the general effect on the trade of
the country is of much more Importance,
And while the Express Companies have.
probably picked up little business that
would have gone to the Post-otiice under
the old order of things, they have lost
four times as much In not having the
thousands of packages to carry that
would have been sold by means of the
printed matter sent oul, by the mails
if the present exorbitant rates had not
been adopted.
1t is not only, therefore, to the interest
Of the people and the Government, but |
even OF the Express comprehensive |
power that secured the change-to have
the old order of things readopted as
speedily as possible. OF course Con-
gress intends to do it, but it should be
done at once. With the New Year every
possible impetus must be given to busi-
ness, and there are many branches that
will be affected through the whole twelve
months by the kind Of start they take
soon after New Years. The people are |
looking anxiously to Congress about |
this matter, and the member that throws |
obstacles in the way of effect.ng this i'm.
portant change will not be readily ex-
cused.

RADICAL organs, with whom the
wish is father to the thought, predict
that Gov. Tilden's war on the Erie
Canal Ring viii split the Democracy Of
New York, and result IN ignoble fail
ure. They forget that this is not the
first time Tilden has attacked a power
full ring. He was the most prominent
actor IN dethroning Boss Tweed, and
instead Of splitting the party thereby
or injuring his own prospects, the De-
mocracy have promoted him TO the
Goveruorship. As significant Of the
present situation, we note a statement
by the Ne1r York Tribune that mot a
single Democratic journal IN the State
supports Speaker Mcclure IN his oppo-
sition TO Gov. Tlden. They are all
agreed IN condemning his course as
absurd and suicidal" Just in the
nick Of time that the people doubt the
ability Of Radicalism to purify itself
the Democracy are proving their ca
pacity to remedy all abuses that they
fall heir to.

TIKI ERA OF CHEAP TRANsPORTA.
TEOG

IAONs
1t has been noticed that labor strikes
and railroad wars are most frequent in
dull times, and the general impression
seems to be that the present struggle
between the various trunk lines to the
East will cease with the revival of trade.
The Ne1g York Herald illustrates this
view very aptly by saying that if a herd
of wolves fall in with single lamb they
will tear each other to pieces in their
struggle over so small a meal, but let
the flock be large enough to appease
the hunger Of all and they will treat
each other like well disposed beasts,
While the people profit by such bitter
competition as that now raging, the
! stockholders are liable to suffer, and as
rule the latter are greater victims of
railroad encouragement than the form
er. Railroads are such valuable aids to
modern progress that capitalists should
rather be encouraged to invest, but the
way roads have been managed Of late
years has a reverse effect, and there is
no class who deserve more sympathy
than those who have ventured their
means in this department of enterprise.
There is a feeling among railroad
men in the North and East that they
have Overbuilt, but such is not the case
with the South. With this impression,
however, we may expect. in the North
more attention hereafter to economy
Of running expenses. When lines
multiplyan competition becomes close
even in busy times, wasteful ways are
10 longer safe and shrewd men must
see that economy of management is
necessary to carry the day. 1t is in
this respect that the Baltimore and
Ohio road seems to have the advaD-
tage over its rivals. President Garrett
claims that he is not losing by
the present low rates, and the more
freight he gets, the more profits be re-
allies, while the Other roads are slow
to come down, not caring for trade on
which they claim they make no money.
We suspect that Garrett has merely
anticipated the others in the study of
economy, but we also suspect that
when Scott and Vanderbilt turn their
attention to the subject they will be
able TO carry as choaply as anyone
else. If Garrett holds out long enough
to force upon them the study of this
problem, merchants expresses, fast
freight lines and all the other inside
rings by which officers and directors
get rich in the byways Of railroading,
viii 60 by the board, to the immense
relief of both the stockholders and the
public.

rHErARIFF AND AMERICAN LABOR

Under Democratic rule before the
war one of the standing grievances
among laborers and mechanics IN the
State bordering on Canada, was the
constant influx Of 'Kanucks, - who ac-
custOmed to much lower wages, depre-
ciated the value Of labor on this side Of
the line. Under Republican domina-
ton this grievance has been removed
pretty efectually. Canadian workmen
being paid in a gold currency, now re-
ceive Just about the same wages aspire
vail here, when we deduct the sold
premium, but their wages have
vastly more purchasing power,
because they are not supporting
the tariff and other monopolies.
under which we grOan. Not an article
can be mentioned, from the merest ne
eessities of life up TO the rarest de-
icaGies, of which the Canadian labor

important items Of expense, as cloth

American workman. His rents are
lower, having never been inflated. and
his coal is cheaper, notwithstanding
our vastly superior natural supplies.
