man who by his vote gave aid to the soft

branch in the party. The first plank of
the platform is a. follows:

those who think that the above planks
are burlesque on the greenback theo.

come dispels that idea completely, and
We are forced to believe that il Green.
oackism means anything At all, it means
what these planks say. Without com.
menting on the absolute foolishnes. and
utter inconsistencies contained in them.
for these will be apparent to every man
endowed with average common sense.
We claim that it is the doctrine endorsed
by every greenback vote that was cast
in this State. Thc man who voted that
ticket and denies that he believes this
doctrine, admits. by such denial, that
hjs vote falsely represented his belief.

LIVER IS KING.

The liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, and it controls the
life, health and happiness of man. When
It is disturbed in its proper action, all
kinds of ailments are the natural result.
The digestion of food, the movements of
the heart and blood, the action of the
brain and nervous system, are all imne-
diately connected with the workings of
the liver. It has been successfully
proved that Green's August Flower is
unequalled in curing all persons Afflicted
with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and
al the sunerous symptoms that result
from an unhealthy condition Of the
liver and stomach. Sample bottles to
try, 10 cents. Positively sold in al
towns ON the Western Continent. Three
doses will prove that It b Just what you

EXCESSIVE HEAT

And unwholesome diet at this season

grave. Parkers Ginger Tonic, BY its
corrective action on the entire digestive
apparatus, will not only unfailihgly cure
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera, Cholera
Infantum, Collie, Cramps, Spasms, ETC.,
but will prevent those dangerous disor-
ders from attacking the system. It may
ssve your life, and should always be kept
in the house. This pleasant remedy is
unequalled for teething children or
nursing mothers. Possessing many ad-
ditional virtues of other valuable roots,
it is far superior to Essences of Ginger,
without their constituting effects, and
while more invigorating than liquors
never intoxicates, nor creates any desire
for stimulants. It cures Dyspepsia,
Heartburn, Sour Stomach, etc, enables
you to enjoy the fruits and vegetables of
the season without fear, and gives com.

1T NEVER PAYS.


It never pays to growl and fret
When fortune is our foe,
The better bred will push ahead,
And strike the braver blow.
For luck is work, and those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But Weld the pay, and clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays to foster pride,
And sauander time in show;
For friends thus won are sure to run
In time of want or woe:
The noblest worth OF all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain,
A conscience clear, household dear,
And hands without stain.
It never pays to hate foe,
Or cater to friend;
To fawn and whine, much less replne;
To borrow or to lend.
The faults of men are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe;
For feuds and debts and pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
It never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain;
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
An humble lot, cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings;
For stations high that wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays!-a blunt refrain
Well worthy of song; ,,
For age and youth must learn the truth,
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure alone are sure
To bring prolonged success.
While what is right in Reasons sight
Is always sure to bless.
