THE SUBSTITUTION OF
BRANDY FOR ALCOHOL,
the use of the True Jamai-
ca Ginger, of their own
selection and importation,
Its combination with
choice aromatics, as de-
vised and originated by
DR.. Sanford, placed this
preparation in actual
merit so far ahead of any
thing before compounded
that notwithstanding the
most bitter opposi ton
from the trade, its sales
in New England now ex-
coed that of all others
combined, The second
year of its manufacture
its sale exceeded the prev
ious year by over ftyy fye
thousand bottles. 1t is
manufactured on a scale
simply enormous. Two
thousand gallons are all
ways kept made long in
advance of consumption,
by which it acquires a del
icious flavor and br lillian
transparency. Every i'm
provement in labor Saving
apparatus is adopted, so as
to permit the use of costly
materials and yet retain a
profit. The bottling ma
chine is alone able to fill
taUothouSdnd four hundred
bottles per hour. Fom this
brief statement it will be
seen that Messrs. WEEKS
& POTTER have entered
upon the manufacture of
Sanford's Jamaica Ginger
in a manner that must in
time secure for them tn
enormous trade in this are
ticle. Its elegant flavor,
great merit, and low price
should be tested once by
those in need OF a family
medicine before allowing
themselves to be induced,
by misrepresentation, 10
buy others. Insist upon
having what you call for

Editor Journal Il have written
about things post-oficially, things

To the late want of harmony be-
tween the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road company and its employees on
the question Of the amount of COM
pensation to be paid, the latter may be
attributed to the presence, in our quiet
and unostentatious little city, of the
military. To the military is to be at
tributed the great anxiety OF US un-
protected females to be protected by
brass buttons. You know almost
every young lady has a gentleman
friend for whom she has a particular
fancy, one she thinks more of than
the others. Tom, dear boy, is my
favorite, and is always ready to obey
my commands, and | could, if this
was the appropriate place, mention

weary of the constant attentions of

clivities Of military officers for polite
attentions, and knowing further the
effect the attentions of quasi rival

inclined to act with too much deib-

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
The Bottom Of the Evil.

Mr.. Editor These are moment
Gus days with both rich and poor.
Property has been destroyed and pow
erty is pervading the land. What
the origin of all this is, is the ques-
ton that needs to be answered.
SO, when We are beset by any great
evil, let us get at once to the bottom
of it, and we cannot begin better than
by asking how much discount the
capital of the country has sustained
through the greenback ? Then, let
US look at the Funding Act which ex-
cmpts the entire bonded interest of
the country from taxation; then at
that other fraud on the people-the
Resumption Act, which first destroy
cd $8O0,000,0OO of the peoples cur
rency and now guarantees specie pay
ments in 1879. | want to know how
these payments can be resumed at
that time when it takes all the gold
in America to pay the Interest on our
bonds held in Europe-$l60, 100000
per annum.
Then, our government repudiates
the contract made with the bond
holder to pay him with the coin of
the country. We have a silver dol
lar equal to gold and competent to
pay all debts, dues and demands. 1t
has existed since 1892, having been
made a perfect coin under the admin
istration of George Washington, but
the Hooper Act of 1878 demonetized
it, as nothing but gold would do to
please the tastidious bondholder. This
was done after silver had been an
accepted currency for three thousand
years all over the world. 1t bought
the betrayal of Christ.
What followed after Sherman's Act
providing for resumption in 1879 !?
1t is a we'll known fact that bankers
charged from ten to fifteen and, in
some cases, twenty-five per cent for
greenback loans. Small capitalists
could not pay such rates, and forfeit
ed their property instead Of their
bonds The banks of the country,
who are chiefly bondholders, have
thus consumed the small capitalists,
and 1t has ever come to struggle be-
tween large corporations as to who
shall exist.
Had our late Congress been true to
its constituents it would have repeal
ed at least some Of the grievous acts
which rob the people and caused war
and starvation. Notwithstanding all
this, we will hear the party lash crack
as sharply as ever and by men stag
gering with hunger. Democrats and
republicans are all alike in supporting
the robbing system of finance in this
country. MINER.

miners Of this region were as ignorant
a class of people as we are represent
ed to be by the press generally, that
the condition of affairs in this region
to-day would be quite different from
what it really is. Instead of peace
and quietness, there would be rioting,
robbery and arson, because there has
been tyranny enough exercised over
us from time to time to cause an out
break. Yet we are still disposed to
suffer, but a time may come (nerer !

No Complaint.

He was singule.rly grave man,
even for sexton. For n,.33y half Q.
century he Lad been pubu. tuaa..on.
ary-ha.d performed the co4sp.cu9...,
duties of sexton-yet no one had
ever seen him smile. Occasionally he
joked, but he did it in such a funereal
manner that no one could a.ocuse him
of levity.
One day he was standing on the
church steps wiping his melancholy
features with red bandana. A
hearse stood near, and three or four
carriages were drawn up behind it.
The notes of the organ hoated out of
the open windows with solemn effect.
A strt ger came along and said:
"Funeral?"
And the old sexton grayely bowed
his head-it was.
who's dead?"
The old man again wiped his brow
and gave the name of the deceased.
What complaint" asked the in
quisitive stranger.
Solemnly placing his bandana in bis
hat and covering his bald head the
old sexton made answer: ,.-
There is no complaint; every
body is entirely satisfied

A Chapter Of Grievances.

Editor F1ostb,wy Mining Journal: -
Allow me space in your columns to
state, as briefly as possible, some of
the grievances of which we miners
complain. In the estimation of some
parties they may seem to be of tri-
vial character wien taken separately,
but in the aggregate they are very
oppressive to us. will begin with
the system of robbery practiced in the
weighing of the product of our labor.
The companies say that they are
paying US so cents per ton for mining
this coal, which is nominally true, but
not really, as | will try to prove. At
the mass meeting of miners held at
Knapp's meadow on last Thursday,
one of the speakers who addressed the
meeting acknowledged that at the
mine he worked, they were required
to give 13 tons for 10, which he could
prove by the company manifests, the
boss alleging, as reason for requiring
this overweight, that they must give
it to enable them to. compete with
the other mines in the region" The
simple fact is, that the coal the miner
digs is not weighed at all. True, the
companies have scales at their mines,
but the weighing of the coal on the
mine cars is merely a matter of form
"a sham. Consequently, we are not
paid 40 cents per ton, whereas We
