TREASURY DEPARTMENT,



Dear iSir-The extract which you quote
from Kelley's speech is but a part of the dia>
tribes which such men as Kelley have used to
excite the popular mind and create a war be-
tween capital and labor. The amount of
United States notes to be redeemed is less
than S360,000,000 of which more than $780,
600, 900 are constantly in the Treasury in some
form. The 500, 100000 available are now
nearly 500, 000, 900, with some months to accu-
mulate. The silver bill, in one respect, makes
resumption easier by broadening the basis of
coin resumption. What is driving the people
to pauperism, ETC., is the insane war upon cap.
ita!, which destroys confidence, and prevents
prudent men from embarking in new enter
prises. Could any one expect sensible people,
having property or money, to embark it in
the hazards of trade in the face of such APP
peals as are now quite common, and of which
this is specimens At this moment our coun-
try is more prosperous than any in the world
though many are idle and out Of employment
What is needed most is confidence in the sta
bility of values, and this can only be secured
by resumption of payment in coin.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN,
WILSON J. VANCE, Esq, Canton, Ohio.

THE WEATHER FOR 1873 &.
Probability OF Eronihs ipAany places OF the
United Etntes.

Mr.. @. G. Blake, of Decatur, Ill,
who made predictions of weather
last year, which he claims were
almost literally fulfilled, sends ne a
circular containing predictions for
1889. As the weather is an i'm
portant topic for all seasons, we give
place to Mr.. Blake's predictions,
which will be interesting to preserve
for reference during the season.
March, 1S7S-Will s'nome in like a
sheep, and go out Ike lamb. y
The first of March will be moderate.
and gradually grow warmer ill the
end of the month though there
will doubtless be two or three mod>
erately cold spells during the month,
but nome that may be doomed cold.
The equinoctiel storm will be
rather warm one. The precipitation
for the month will be full average.
and in the form of rain except in
high ATTITUDES.
April, 1873 Rather dry and
warm though in places full aver.
age of local storms.
May, 1878--Warm heavy storms
in places on the general average
not a wet month.
June, 1870-Hct and dry, except
as relieved by moderate number of
local storms F.; cooler about the 10Th.
July, 1878-Hot and dry local
storms will give relief only in places.
August, 1873 Hot and dry but
some severe local storms.
September, 1878-Hot and dry
part of the month severe local
storms and variable weather 10
places rainfall for the month rather
less than the average except in
Southern States /; some danger of cy
clones in the southern States, also
in Indian coast.
October, 1S78-Cool, rainfall less
than average heavy frost the las,
OF September or the first of October.
November, 1878-Quite cold and
dry probably more snow than rain.
December, 1878-Cold and dry;
moderate amount Of snow little, if
any rain north of Galesburg, Ill.
January, 1879 = First part of
month rather mild; last part moder
ateIy cold; precipitation for the
month, in rain or snow, about an av-
erage tor January.
February, Moderately cold
and dry,
March 1879 Fuu averaoe of
storms and precipitation, though not
severe month; The eqainoctial
about the 22d of March, 1879 will be
quite severe though rather warm.
conclude the year 1873 will be
very suspicious one, so far so wealth
err is concerned. The season gener-
ally will be rather dry and warm.
There will be few heavy storms and
tornadoes, and very few general
storms that will extend over any
considerable portion of the United
States. There will be reasonable
number of heavy showers. but they
will be local, and, in places, accom-
panied by heavy thunder aud light
ming; though on the general aver
age thunder and lightning will be
scarce. April l, 1873 to April l, 1879
will be about 80 per cent below the
average for the whole United States;
while for considerable part Of the
year it will be so per cent. below the
average, and in places as high as 70
per cent. below the average,

eficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully com
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children. it is
still so effectual as to purge cut from the
system those impurities and coirnptions
which develop into loathso,ne disease.
The reputation it enjoys Is derived
from It's cures. aud The confidence which

Certificates attesting It's virtues have
accumulated. and are constantly being
received, and as many OF these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority Of this Sar-

possessed are strictly maintained.
