ToRTUREs THAT NEED NOT BE ENDURED.

feople suffer a great deal of pain unneces-
sarlly. Among tortures that need not be en-
dured are those inflicted by the rheumatism
anu govt, since the acrid element in the
blood which produces them by contact with
the sensitive covering Of the muscles and
joints may be eliminated by the use of that
matchless depurent, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, before the i~nflammatoIy symptoms
are developed to any great extent. When it
is considered what excruciating tortures
rheumatism %infiicts, and what a tendency it
has, when fully developed, to attack the
heart, the ACCESSIBILITY Of an early use of such
a reliable antidote becomes at once appar-
ent. The rheumatic virus is expelled from
the blood by the increased action of the kid
neys--which act as strainers-produced by
the Bitters, and the sufferer will find, if he
uses this supreme defensive agent, that he
will be protected against a return Of the ag-
onizing complaint. Dyspepsia, fever and
ague, liver and bowel complaints and other
maladies, are also cured by this admirable
remedy.

is MErHODISM DECLINING.

The New York Herald asks the above
question, and proceeds to argue upon it
editorially, and says:
I'VE print an interesting article on the
present condition and future of Methodism
IN America in general, and this State in
particular. From the statements made
therein there seems to be little room to
doubt that this evangelical organization is
in positive danger of disintegratlon and de
cay. The causes given for this state of
things are the lack of bond of union
among the churches the cumbrous govern
ing machinery, and the frequent changing
of pastors. The church machinery is said
to be too costly, the interest too numerous,
and that the ltlneracy places Methodism at
such disadvantage with other denomina-
lions that a degree of unrest prevails to an
extent never before known in the history of
the church. As an evidence of the weak
ness of Methodism the fact is cited that in
this city the net membership has only in
creased 100 during the past thirty years,
and only four new churches have been
built III fifteen years, while the nresbyter
IanS, with eight churches less. have attained
"a numerical strength of 5000 iii excess of
their Methodist brethren. These are start
=
with by the church if it intends to hold its
own i'll the religious world. The trouble
with the Protestant denominations is that
they are too much Guently
confusion arises, the laws of the church
become oppressive and ecclesiastical ma
chiuery, is clogged and refuses to work.
Judging from the information at hand this
is especially true of the Methodists, and it
behooves them to take the question of or
ganization reform into serious consideration
for their church has accom- pi.shed 50 much
IN the past III aiding To evangellZ3 the world
that il would be a serious loss to Chris
tiaaity if Methodism should lose its foot
hold among the leading sects OF Protestant
ism. The denomination should simplify
its governing machinery, strengthen Indi.
vldual churches 10y permitting pastors to
grow up with then congregat lions, ana SO
strengthen the bonds of sympathy between

and increase IL by a years residence among
them and then pass 10 another field. is
mistake which none appreciate so well as
the Methodists themselves; yet the dOctIiue
laid down by Wesley is Stubbornly adhered
to simply because 1t is his, though the
spread of MethOdiSm has rendered the
practice a positive detriment 10 the best
interests of the church. The Eaptists.
Presbyterians. and CongregationalIsts have
avoided this rock i'll the path OF progress,
and their churches are cUDsequ entiy united

time for change has come, aud the sooner

THE INCOME TAX.

When the tax upon incomes was i'm
posed, in the trying times of the war,
the country submitted because every
one perceived that extraordinary meas
ures were necessary to meet the extra
ordinary wants of the Government. 1t
is true that it was felt to be an odious
and exasperating burden; that it reGuir
ed methods of collection unsuited to the
dispositions and habits of a free people:
that it was fruitful source of fraud,
corruption, lying, meanness, perjury
that it Disseminated against honesty
and thrift that it let loose upon the
community swarm of Government III
quisitors whose hateful office was often
exercised in hateful and oppressive
way nay, whose duties had natural
tendency to make them tyrannical and
nsolent But the people submitted to
it. In the patriotic fervor of the war
time they were ready to submit to any
thing for the sake of the Union They
bore cheerfully with the draft, provost
marshals, and arbitrary arrests, and the
suppression of newspapers, and the in
reference of the military with the civil
power in cities far removed from the
theatre of war All these things, and
the income tax with them, were "war
measures" necessary for time, in
order to save the Nation. But no one
dreamed of permitting their continuance
after the return of peace. These gen
tlemen in Congress know perfectly we'll
that the income tax is an iniquity, and
who will nevertheless vote for it, be-
cause they believe that spoilaton Of
the minority is popular. 1t is useless
to address to them any arguments
based on ethics or political economy.
But perhaps they may be persuaded
that it is prudent to inquire how long
a republic can last when the majority,
who dine on beef and bread, insist
upon throwing all the burdens Of gov
eminent upon the minority, who have
beef and pudding.

patch to the Tribune illustrates how
the evil tendencies Of Compress have
been checked 1t saws:
Secretary Sherman's success in contract
ing for the sale of $50, 900 900 of II per
cent bonds, the proceeds of which are to
be used for resumption purposes, is the
hardest blow the intlationsts have received
during the present session. The movement
for the repeal of the Resumption act has
been sensibly losing ground in Congress
since the passage of the Silver bill. Many
of the more moderate men of the West,
whose instincts are right, were, during the
Fall and early Winter, almost driven by
the force of public opinion in their districts,
to follow the lead of Gen. Ewing and the
House Committee on Banking and Curren-
Cy. But the enactment of the Silver law
seems to have caused a check in the tide,
and the conservative element is growing
stronger every day. Even the most pro
nounced anti-resumptioniSts admit that
the contract which Secretary Sherman has
made will interfere with their plans to re-
peal the Resumption act. The simple fact
that so strong a com binatien of bankers as
the Syndicate is willing to undertake to
turn over to the Treasury, between now
and the first of next January, fifty millions
of gold, confoundS the iutiati0nistS and re-
flutes their statement that the accumulation
of that amount of gold is impossible. In
fact, unless there is great change in sen
timent in Congress before its adjournment,
there is new no possibility of the repeal of
the Resumption act. The extreme anti
Resumptionists are very indignant at the
course the Secretary of the Treasury has
pursued, and say that his only purpose WAS
to prevent any further financial legislation
at this session of Congress. The House
Committee on Banking and Currency held
a meeting at which Secretary Sherman 5
contract was made the subject of very I'M
favorable criticism. 1t was asserted in the
committee that the Secretary had acted in
every possible way to thwart the efforts
and views of the committee, and had de
signedly done every thing in his power by
means of his friends in Congress to bring
about the hasty and i'll considered passage
of appropriation bills, so as 10 force ali
early adjournment of Congress. and thus
prevent any further legislation upon silver
or banking aud currency questions. 1t is
difficult to see what this committee is 60
ing to do about it.
We know now where we stand. Capi-
tai can calculate with something like Ger
tantv as to the future. Our enormous
crops are keeping the balance OF trade
largely in our favor, As regards current
transactions we have become creditor
nation, and are by our shipments Offset
ting the effects of the returns of our
bonds The rising tendency of the
great grain roads of the West is giving
all our securities a more hopeful look
abroad As.the season progresses and
the movements Of produce swell in
volume, we shall draw the gold of
Europe in large quantities. Since the
war closed, the outlook for legitimate
trade has not been 50 cheerful But
trade that is based on healthy condi,
tons will very soon come, to bring
solid prosperity to all who engage in it.
