CONSUMFTIvES TAKE NOT1cEI

Every moment of delay makes your cure
more hopeless. and much depends on the judi
oious choice of a remedy. The amount of tes-
tmony in favor of DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, as cure for consumption. far exceeds
all that can be brought 70 support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DIR. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many
persons of high responsibility, who have been
restored TO health, after being pronounced in
durable by physicians of acknowledged ability
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured
many, as these evidences will show but the
cure is often promoted by the employment of
two other remedies which DIR. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies are
Scheucks Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use of these medicines, accord
ing to directions, DR.. Schenck certifies that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.

prospect Of carrying the state. The
reason for this opinion is that both
old parties in Michigan have adopted
hard money platforms, which leaves
the Greenback men no alternative but
to vote our ticket. We expect also
to carry from three to five congress
men in that state. and are quite san
guine Of having not only the balance
of power. but majority in the legis

hopeful Nationals are claiming the
state of Illinois, and the result in
Maine has added very materially to
their hopes. In few districts OF
Illinois the Democrats and Nationals
are working together, but in most of
the districts the three parties have
made separate nominations and are
having triangular contests. There is

THE BENEFITS OF RESUMPTION.

cit is the height of folly after en-
during all the inconvenience of re-
sumption, to run away from it's bene-
fits, and begin anew the course of
alternate imitation and depression
which has already cost us such mise
ries. '-Buriing to1a Huwkeye.
The above is not original with the
Hawkeye. John Sherman uttered
the same sentiment, in nearly the
same language, in his Mansfield
speech during the campaign of 1877.
"IncOnVenienceS of resumption is
good.
Not the Inconvenience" but the
confession is good for the Uawkeye
soul.
Let us take a brief inventory of
these inconvenience and see what
they are.
1t is time to balance the books and
see whittier we are drifting,
Is it possible for the benefits of re-
sumption ever to compensate for it's
''inconveniences? 2"
What are these inconvenience |!
Who has not experienced them!
AS the southern Scourge has swept
its thousands of souls into eternity,
desolated and annihilated hundreds
OF families. and cast pail of

has resumption performed its work
of death and destruction.

and of our most enterprisins business

Business stagnation and financial
distress are general.
RuinouS sacrifices of landed proper
ty at sheritf's sale are the rule and not
the exception.
Forced sales of merchandise, house
hold goods and farming stock at prices
far below the cost OF production.
Families deprived of home. the
common necessaries Of life, and the
implements of trade.
A general scarcity of money
throughout the country which has
compelled enterprise to borrow at
ruinous rates OF usury, involving
their shrinking property beyond the
hope OF redemption.
A general suspension of labor, the
only legitimate source of wealth, by
which thousands Of our most useful
citizens are rendered destitute of the
means of support. and are reduced to
the extremity of poverty and despair
\ suspension of manufacturing.
An increasing army Of tramps and

The Republican papers say, with
force and truth, that the last time the
Democrats had control of the govern
ment, the United States was paying
twelve per cent. for money, and had
hard work to get what it wanted at
that Shylock price. 1t has no diff
Guilty now, in getting million or so
a day at four per cent. The only
trouble is, however. that while the
per cent. is decreased the amount of
debt upon which the interest has to
be paid has been piled up mountain
high. The question therefore is,
which of the two old parties is re-
sponsible for the increased national
