Our Cheerful Outlook.

All accounts thus far indicate the
most abundant grain harvest in this
country this year that has been
known for many years previous.
At least so far as Tennessee is con-
cerned, we know the soil has not
been so prolific in many seasons.
More ground has been cultivated
and the products are richer. Fruits
of sill kinds are remarkably fine and
abundant. To move the immense
crop that has been drained will tax
even the superabundance of capital
we are told is idle in New York and
other money centers. But this
money will flow to the interior, and
the anticipations of activity in COM
merce are not unreasonable. There
is also the prospect of good prices
better prices than is usual with
an excessive yield. Very short grain
crops are reported by the Mark Lane
ErpresS in England, and we know
that the laborers drawn from the
fields further East by the Turko-
Russians war will necessitate heav-
Ter imports than usual to that re-
gion. Americas surplus of export
will be above the average, with the
prospect of good prices, all of which
ought to presage a marked revival
in trade and industrial enterprise
american.

Congress,

Herald: If any one imagines
that the country is going to tolerate
endless, windy debates about the
Presidents Southern policy or any
other dead and buried issue, while
some millions of Americans do not
know where to get bread to eat or
clothes to wear, he is mistaken
And if any one fancies that party
lines and party prejudices are to be
allowed to stand in the way of such
discussion or to bound or limit it
he is still more mistaken. No
doubt the new Congress when it
meets will be found to contain a
sufficient number of demagogues
ready to cure all over all our woes
with some quack nOstrum; but
shrewd men will see that reputation
is to be won, political predominance
for the future secured, careers be-
gun only by wise and able handling
of real questions, and only by the
men who shall propose, advocate
and secure measures of real relief
To the authors of such measures
the country will by and by turn with
gratitude and lasting confidence.

SCHEDULE.
Senator Beok's Speech.

Elsewhere we publish a speech
delivered by Hon. James b. Beck,
of kentucky, at MaysvilIe in that
State on Saturday, 4th inst. Mr..
Beck for twelve years past has rep
resented Henry Clay's old Ashland
District, and the mantle of the dis
tinguished sage could not have
fallen upon more worthy shoulders.
The speech alluded to embodies our
views and sentiments precisely upon
the finance question and upon the
cause and remedy for the present
distressed condition of the country.
at is n mastery recital of the in
justice and evils that have flowed
from the financial policy of the past
nine years, since the Gold Act OF
1869, repudiating the greenback
contract, became q law. 1t shows
how, step by step, the legislation of
the country has been controlled by
mOnopolists and money lords, until
labor brings no returns, and the
only money that finds profitable in.
vestment is that which is placed in
Government bonds. We ask from
ali, especially the workingmen who
are studying the situation, while
they struggle in the slough of de-
spond, a careful reading of what

At the foot Of Lookout Mountain
near Chattanooga, Tenn, was fought
many hard battle during the war.
On that same ground, nearly forty
years ago a victory was gained more
glorious than any of our armies. A
remedy was there discovered for liver
diseases that excited the wonder of sci
entific men and physicians. Purely
vegetable, it. eXcelled in curative proper
ties the mineral drugs, such as calomel,
and was as harmless to the system and
almost as pleasant to the taste as coffee

A Problem to Solve.

From the New York Herald
Ninety per cent of our people
can, with the machinery we Ameri-
cans use, produce all that the whole
people consume.
That means that thirty-siX mil
lions can produce all that forty mil
lions can use and that, unless we
re-establish our foreign commerce,
four millions at least must remain
idle and are condemned to beggary
or starvation.
That is the problem which appeals
to Congress and the administration
for solution. Congressman Wright
proposes to solve it by giving ten
millions of dollars to actual settlers
on public lands. But what is the
use of such a drop in such a big
empty bucket? Congressman some
body else will propose some great
scheme of internal improvements
and may ask for couple of hundred
millions out of the Treasury. But
what is even that prodigious sum
when it is to be divided among four
million idle hands, Only fifty dol
lars apiece; enough to maintain
them poorly about three months.
What is wanted is to enable them to
support themselves for all time.
What these four millions could
produce would enrich the country
and make them comfortable, if it
coul1 no sold IT. is not wanted
here, but is wanted all over the
South and Central America, in Can
ada and in Mexico. Why should it
not be sold there? 1t needs only
that Congress shall strike from the
statue book few restrictive laws,
and that the President and Secre-
tary Evarts shall hasten to reform
our commercial treaties with those
States. Then we can sell our sur
plus manufactures abroad and set
the four millions at work as produ-
GERS.
If the workingmen of the country
were wise, instead of striking and
suffering they would unite to send
up to Congress monster petitions
for the repeal of restrictive laws on
foreign commerce. This is not of
free trade or protection, or of repub-
lican or democratic politics; it is q
question of bread and butter, of
clothing, of comfortable homes, of
work and wages, or of continuous
poverty and starvation.

Jones' Safety Brake.

MI. Edward S. Jones has per
fected his model and will soon com.
mence to travel with his patent
safety brake. Railroad men and
machinists have examined the mode
and pronounce it perfect. 1t is un-
questionably a great invention, and
we trust that our young friend may
realize all that the present prospect
may lead him to hope for in the way
of fame and fortune, His patent
has the high endorsement of the
Boston Journal of Commerce and
of that eminent authority, the Scien-
tific American. We clip the follow
ing from the former:
JONES SAFETY BRAKE.
Mr.. Edward Spencer Jones, of
Pulaski, Tenn, is the inventor of a
new and improved railroad brake
which is highly endorsed by rail
road men and machinists who have
examined the same. The invention
is on a screw pressure principle,
and the power is applied either by
steam from the engine or by hand
power on the end of cars. 1t can
be used either on passenger or
freight cars. The power being uni
form on all cars alike is of course
an important feature, and makes
the brake one of the most reliable
yet patented or presented to the
public. The press everywhere is
paying worthy compliments to this
great inventon-destined as the in
ventor claims to be the universal
brake throughout the civilized
world. Below we give a notice cop
led from the Scientific American:
"IMPRovED CAR BRAKE-Edward
Spencer Jones, Pulaski, Tenn
This improved brake, for railroad
cars of all kinds, may be operated
by hand or steam power, so as to
check the speed and stop the train
in a quick and reliable manner; and
the invention consists of brake
shoes which are applied by pivoted
lever arms TO a crosspiece, that is
raised or lowered by a screw bolt
and nut and suitable gearing, either
by an endless chain connection with
the locomotive, or by shaft and gear
with hand wheel at end
of car. A suitable lever attachment
throws the brake mechanism either
into gear with the hand wheel or

Result OfObstructed Digestion.

Among the hurtful consequences of
INSTRUCTED digestion, is the impoverish-
ment of the blood, and since deteria-
tive condition of the vital fluid not only
produces dangerous organic weakness,
but, according to the best medical au-
thorities, sometimes causes asphyXia, it
is apparent that to improve the quality
of the blood by promoting digestion
and assimilation, is a wise precaution.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely
the remedy for this purpose, since it
stimulates the gastric juices, conquers
those bilious and evacuative irregulari-
ties which Interfere with the digestive
processes, promotes assimilation of the
food by the blood, and purifies as well
as enriches it. The signs of improve
ment in health in consequence of using
the Bitters are speedily apparent i'm an
accession of vigor, gain in bodily sub
stance, and a regular and active per-
Torrance of every physical function.

The Turks have only once before
exhibited strategy equal to that
shown in the present war. In III,
when the Russians marched to the
Pruth for the purpose of invading
Turkey. the Turks, with the great
est celebrity, anticipated their enc
mics, and, by sudden movement,
surrounded them with 100000 men
and 200 pieces of artillery. Defeat
was inevitable, when the Czarina
persuaded the Car to avoid unnec-
essary bloodshed and capture by
treating with the Grand Vizier.
