A large proportion of the American people are
to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered liver. The result of these diseases upon
the masses of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, makingl life actually burden in
stead of a pleasant exlstance of ENJOYMENT and
usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice of Drug
gsts and your friends, and try one bottle of
Green's August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions OF bottles of this medicine have
been given away 10 try its virtues, with sati-fac
tory results in every case. You can buy a sample
bottle Tor 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve
the worst case. Positively sold by all Druggists

The people have been assured AL along
that OR public debt was steadily decreas-
ing, and the official data have been fur
nished from head quarters every month {;
but irres ponsible greenback orators and
papers make the bold statement that the
bonded debt of the United States is stead
lily increasing, and that to-day it is larger
by six hundred and forty millions than it
was in 1850, and that the people have been
tricked and deceived. But the deception
lies at the door of the greenbackers, and
the trick lies in the use OF the word
"bonded." A large amount of the interest
bearing debt, at the close of the war, was
known as notes." and was subsequently
paid or funded in bonds AT a lower rate of
interest. The interest bearing debt Ono

Imitation of the Currency Violates
the Nations Solemn Pledge.

The brief but powerful speech made by
Senator Blaine at the State convention.
calls to mind the fact that in our dire ex
tremity, in the dark days OF the war, when
the credit of the government was at the
lowest point and a greenback dollar
was worth only 80 cts. in gold. the nation
speaking through Congress gave its SOL
emn pledge that the amount OF legal ten
der notes issued and to be issued should
never exceed the sum of 800, 100000.
We we're then in the very crisis of the
rebellion. In the field the prospect was
discouraging. The rebels were pressing
toward the national capital. la the rear
of the Union armies rebel sympathizers
were holding peace conventions aud in-
citing to riots against the draft. The
greenbacks though sustained by the
patriotism of the country went down,
down, until they were worth only
about one-third of their face. There
was alarm at the financial situation
many who are to-day elamoring for more
and larger issues OF greenbacks then pre-
dicted with scarcely suppressed exuta-
ton that the greenbacks were going the
way OF the continental currency-that
they would be issued in such quantities
they never would be paid but would
be repudiated as was the currency of the
Revolution.
1t was in this state of affairs, as Mr..
Blaine said to the Portland convention.
that 'the Congress of the United States.
speaking for you and in your name,
speaking to its creditors of both CONT
nents and all nations, said and pu, on
your statute book, that the amount of
legal tenders issued and to be issued
should never exceed 500, 900, 600"
Here was the solemn pledge of the ma
tion given. Congress was unanimous in
the adoption of it. 1t stands unrepealed
upon the statute book. 1t was kept sa
credly during the remainder of the war
1t restored public confidence in the 6nan.
cial integrity of the nation.
Now. then, this new party, thirteen
years after the war closed which called
the greenbacks into existence, demands
that that pledge so solemnly given at tina,
most critical period OF our national life
shall be violated. This county is at peace
with all nations. Our fields are crowned
with promises Of the most abundant hsr-
vest we have ever known. We have 70.
duced the public indebt sdness from xvha,
IL was at the close OF the war nes,,,,
1000, 000, 900. The annual p,vment fo,
interest OF the public debt has bee, re-.
duced since 1867 about $50, 1000, 600. Our
binds are rapidly selling in our own
country at per cent. The greenback
has steadily been raised in value until a
dollar In gold is only one-half of one ner
cent. above the value of a paper dollar.
And it Is In these circumstances. when we
are just about to close the last mage nj
the troubles that an irredeemable currsn.

The Maine state Convention.

From the Boston Advertiser.
There is danger that an untrue story that
there was discOrd among the republican
leaders OF Maine prior to the late conven-
ton may mislead persons at distance
who do not know the real truth. 1t has
already misled one OF our contemporaries,
which viii be glad, we have no doutt, to
be set right. The New York Post char
acterizes it as a ''timid' convention, which
it was not in any sense, or in regard 10
any Of the topics discussed i'll the resolu-
tions or by the speakers. Inc attitude OF
the parry in that State toward the admin
not profess to approve Of it, but it was not
timidlv taken. AS Tor the tone OF the con-
veutjon ON the money question and the
meaning OF the resolutions adopted, those
who think it was timid are egregiously
mistaken. Every speaker made the cur
rency the theme, aud every one OF them
stood boldly for hard money. Every good
point was cheered enthuslastical iy, and
scarcely any applause was heard except
when honest preservation OF the national
honor was Insisted upon. 1t was u hard
money convention, through and through.
II the Post thinks II would have been wise
or useful to make the issue on the silver
question before experience has demon
strated-as oil course it will prove-the
folly OF the existing law. We do not share
its opinion. We may add here the testi-
monv OF gentleman we'll known in New
York, though residing III this neighbour
hood, as one OF the most radical hard
money men in the country, who visited
Portland chiefly Tor the purpose OF attend
ing the convention He reports that it
was the most remarkable body OF men in
their bearing he ever saw, and he has
seen Congress in session. They appeared
to him to be without exception men OF in
telIigence-earnest aud digniiied; and he
was deeply impressed with the power OF
such men to exert a moral force upon the
whole community. Moreover, he was
fully satisfied with the tone and temper
both OF the convention and OF its leaders,
and especially delighted with the unfnch-
ing purpose OF all ID 60 into the fight
under the flag of hard money.
