de aquella materia colorante las tinto-
rerfas de Europa, proporcionando tan
enormes benefcios 4 los mercaderes,
que la fortuna de los opulentos capi-
talistas de Amsterdam tiene por orr
gen el comercio del indigo. Ell trait
CO de los holandeses en- este periodic
abrazaba todo ell mundo conocido, Y
comprendia ell comercio intermedia-
rio 10 mismo que ell del propio pals :;
la Importation 10 mismo que la ex-
portacion
Esta fuera de toda duda que la in
dustria moderna debe a la fabrication
de panos y a la tintorer1a foreciente
de los holandeses la aplicacion del
indigo. Mientras que Sc ensayaban
en- los demas Estados de Europa los
medios de restringuir ell uso, ell Co
mercio y la tintorerfa de los Paises
Bajos Sc desarrollaban cada vez mas.
Los nombres de las Gales, plazas y
barrios de mucha< ciudades de Ho-
landa y de las Provincias Unidas, re-
cuerdan adn hoy la grandeza de esta
industria. La libertad de la tintore-
ria de Holanda vino 4 ser la base del
rico y precioso comercio de las Indias,
no solo del indigo, sino tambien de
la cochinilla y de todas las maderas
para tinte, del mismo orfgen.
Desde 1868, en- que los ingleses
habian trasladado ell asiento de su
domination en- ell Indostan, de Surate
q Bombay, comenz6 la importation
del indigo en- Inglaterra por la anti
qua compan1a de las Indias. Los
documentos de esta companfa inglesa
demuestran que en- treinta amos, desde
1864 4 1854, export6 de Surate y de
Bombay 1.241,967 ibras de indigo
de Agra 8 de Lahore, y $40, ,093 Ii
bras de Amadovad.
Los primeros viajeros que penetra-
ron en- la America observaron que los
indios sc pintaban el cuerpo y tenian
sus g6neros con una materia azul que
extralan de varias especies de indigo
feras peculiares del nuevo continente
Fernando Colon, Ell vida de SUI padre,
cita ell anil entire las producciones de
la isIa dc Haiti; y Hernandez refe-
re el modo como los mejicanos sepa-
raban la f6cula del jugo de la planta,

| pecialmente Ell ell reino de Guatena-
la, en- la provincial de Caracas y en-
MGjico; y sabido es que de todos los
indigos de las Indias occidentales y
de America, el mas estimado fue el
de las posesiones espanolas que lego
a rlvalizar en- otro tempo con ell de
las Indias orientales. Segun Reynal,
la exportacion annual de los aniles de
Mejico Sc estimaba Ell 5000 quinta-

Do,.t Poison Your system

With such hurttul drugs as quinire' Gallo
mel or blue pills, but take instead that
safe, prompt and agreeable substitute,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which,
whether it is used to remedy or prevent
malarial fevers, overcome general
debility, or TO correct torpidity OF the liVer
and bowels, will in every case be found
fully adequate to the wants OF the sick
and feeble. 1t entirely removes dyspeptic
symptoms, and by stimulating the flow OF
gastric juice, facilitates digestion and in
sures the conversion OF fool into blood,
whereby the system is efficiently nour'
ished and regains its lost vigor. This great
vegetable restorative has received the en-
dorsement of men of science, the press has
repeatedly borne voluntary testimony 10
it's excellence, and the public has long
since given it the preference to every
medicine OF its kind.

VICTORY IN THE AIR.-One OF the
healthy Democratic signs OF the times is
the enthusiasm, the talk and interest that
is manifested at this early stage OF the
campaign IN our city, and also in some
if not all, OF the counties in the State.
The fever seems to be red hot over the
river, too, and if the enthusiasm
keeps on the increase, it will out
rival the great campaign OF lS4O, when
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too resounded
so successfully. Not since ante beIt'tm
times, have the people seemed to take so
much heart in Presidential politics as
this wear. AS some indication Of the
direction victory is tending in this city,
we NAV mention that neither in go or ~
was there more than one Demo-
cratic club in her limits, and
not an attempt of pole raising in
either campaign. This year every ward
and district either has, or is making rapid
preparations to organize a club, and erect
a pole, wherewith to work for and honor
our standard bearers. Such is the spirit
abroad in the land, and yet the battle has
hardly taken shape.
The only right conclusion that can be
drawn from such a beginning is strong,
earnest intention to win on the part OF
the Democracy, and to win means to
put an end to Grantism, and all that
term signifies.
