A Rule That Works Only One Wa


The St. Louis Republican makes the
following sensible observations in regard
to Secretary Shermans persistent efforts
to give all the choice plums to the bond
holders:
One of the reasons given by Secretary
Sherman for holding that the per cent
bonds now being issued are payable in gold
and nothing else, is that gold is being re-
ceiEed for them, and it would be unfair to
pay them in a metal less valuable than is
exacted for them. But this is not as
effective an argument as the secretary
lmagines. Let us remind him of little
historical fact direct to the point; when
the five-twenty bonds, sixteen hundred
millions in amount, were issued during the
war, they were sold for greenbacks, not
one dollar of gold was ever exacted for
them. By secretary Sherman's rule, then
they ought to be payable in greenbacks-
independently of tie fact that they aoer,
payable in greepbacks, by the letter anC
spirit Of the contract; but in 1869 Mr.
Sherman, as senator from Ohio, voted to
pay them 10 coin-thus denying to The
people the benefit OF rule which he lay,
down for the advantage of the bond holder

DIR. scHENcK's PuLMoN1c SYRUP

SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known 10
the American public. They are compounded OF
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is somewhat dan
gerous drug all cases, and if taken freely by con-
sumptvc patients, it must do great injury; for its
| tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make cure impos-
sible. Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup is warranted not
| to contain particle OF opium; it is composed OF
| powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs liver, stomach and blood, and thus corrects
all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
by. which Consumption can be cured, and a:
