this blind taxation upon tho money
reservoirs of the country? There are
2OS.4S6 shareholders Of National
Bank capital in the United States,
of whom l04, 976 have not over 81
900 each of stock, being simply men
aud women Of moderate means who
invest their little savings in this
way, since the calling in of govern
ment bonds deprives them of that
kind of security. The shareholders
Of State Banks number 152,9SS, of
whom it is probably safe to say, one
half are poor men, or widows and or.
phans who have $1,000 or less laid
up for a rainy day. In short the
banks of the country are owned by
100000 people, of whom one.half are
not wealthy, but have a few hun,
bred dollars invested in these useful
institutions.
To the borrower Of money tax of
two per cent. by the government is
a fearful burden, and the Federal tax
amount to that in this State, and to
nearly that all over the country
Why should the borrower be the last
person upon which the government
imposes the war tax, without any lot
up or diminution2 The effect ofthis
exorbitant burdenupon loanable cap
ital is tomake money command near
" as high an interest when it is plen-
ty as when it is scarce; to so impede
the business of banks, both State and
National, as to make it Improbable,
and banking capital has been grad
ually shrinking for the past three

That which would have seemed
impossible and miraculous n few
years since, is now regarded as the
legitimate fruit Of our mental de.
velopment and inventive genius.
The telegraph, submarine cable, and
telephone, have each in its success
sive turn been thought the crown
ing marvel oftheage. That a speech
pronounced in Boston should report
itself over the wires to an audience
in Brooklyn, and n hymn played in
New York should be audible in
Washington, is indeed wonderful.
But is ii not equally wonderful that
r. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of Buffalo, N. Y,
can through his peculiar system Of
diagnosis, and without seeing the
patient, obtain as accurate and per-
iect knowledge of most chronic
diseases as though he had made a
personal examination? And is it
not reasonable to suppose that as
great progress has been made in the
occult sciences MS in the more tan
gible and readily dcmonstrable prob.
lens of metaphysics, where each
new invention is but tho logical SO.
Quenco of the enc that precedcs it?
The failure of physicians to fulfill
their promises has created wide.
spread feeling Of distrust; but is it
right to condemn all physicians be-
cause the greed or ignorance Of a fer
induced them to do wrong? Many
are prejudiccd against DR., Pierce's
Family Medicines, and enormously
fancy them to be "cure.alls," but has
not the Doctor repeatedly disclaimed
their ability to cure cancer or give
other than temporary relief where the
lung was half wasted away2 BY
dealing fairly with the people, he
has earned their confidence, and.
built up u practice so large in the
treatment Of chronic diseases that
tho erection of the Grand Invalids'
Hotel, at Buffalo, n. Y, to accommo.
date his patients, became ncccssi.

REVIVAL Of business.

The New York correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Ledger expressed
last week the following almost cheer
full view of the business situation:
merchants are beginning to take
more hopeful views of the business
future than it has been the habit to
indulge of late. There are many
reasons for this. In the first place,
the evil effects of the silver bill,
granting that its passage is certain,
have been to certain extent dis
counted With the passage of the
bill there will at least be an end of
suspense, and to men in commercial
life there can be nothing worse than
that. In the next place, the ac'
counts from the West show an i'm.
proved feeling. Farmers are send,
ing their produce forward freely, not
withstanding the unfavorable condi.
ton of the country roads, proof Of
which is afforded in the enormous
traffic of the leading railroads. The
results of this are readlier collections
and prompter settlement of East
ern indebtedness"
Nov that the Silver Bill has been
passed over the Presidents veto, and
is law in full force. We hope the
predictions of the Ledger will prove
true.

Our Washington correspondent in
forms US that the Committee of the
House on Ways and Means will
probably advise the reduction Of the
tax on tobacco to uniform rate of
sixteen cents a pound, instead of
twenty-four as at present. Why this
adherence to a uniform rate per
pound upon all grades high aud low?
There is an injustice in this Unequal
ity of taxation that is particularly
oppressive to the tobacco trade Of
West Virginia and Eastern Ohio
