efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect OF
each is assured, and while it Is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-

Of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing

we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

An Acre of Potatoes.
The cost of an acre of round potatoes in
S locality is about as follows:


this locality is about as follows:
Interest on cost Of land, ds4O. 24O |
Manure for the acre ten 2O00
1VO
Ploughing and planting. 800
Digging asserting and 1000
Total cost per aere-........... $3.50
An acre of these roots cannot be culti-
waited by any methods in vogue here, at a
less price than here estimated but it is
true that the value of the land for future
crops will be greatly improved by the un-
consumed manure still remaining in it.
Suppose we allow $500 for this improve
ment, and this will reduce to total cost of
the acre to S4l.40
"A fair average yield for an acre is 40
bushels, though much more than this can
be produced. 400 bushels have been grown
on an acre in York State, but this would
be an extraordinary crop, and can only be
produced at much larger additional ex-
pense than we have herein estimated for.
OF the l40 bushels l20 ought to be good
merchantable roots and % bushels cuttings.
Estimating the former at 80 cents and the
latter at % cents per bushel, one acre of
potatoes is worth So .9m this deduct
the expense Of cro" we only have
a net product OF $3.50 per acre. At this
estimate the cost of raising a bushel will be
something over 46 cents per 5ushel
OF course we can never afford to raise
these roots for market on a large scale un-
less we can produce them at much less cost
than this. Some farmers in York State
who grow them on large scale and use
the best machinery for planting and
digging, succeed in producing them at a
cost of fourteen to fifteen cents. These get
as many as 400 bushels to the acre, and
some have claimed even higher yield than
this. Some of our heavy lands ought to
produce as many as any soil can, but our
climate, as a rule, is too hot and dry for the
best success. A cooler climate is much
better adapted to this business. We may
compete successfully with other sections
for the early summer markets Of New York
and Philadelphia, but in this Norfolk and
the southern coast will take the cream and
!. Ieayeus only theskim milk. Sweet potatoes
will do much better for US, provided we will
prepare to keep them over till late in the
season. In all our crops we should keep
constantly in mind the fact that the larger
the Weld per acre, the less is the relative
cost. While one hundred and fifty bushels
NAV cost so cents per bushel, three hun
drsd bushels will cost only 25 cents pei

1!riur that can be employed: cleans
nr stomach and bowels. and even the
u.od. In small doses of one pill day,
"y stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of 4 century, and have
obtained 4 worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several asSimilative organs of the
body. and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do thev
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects. they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted TO all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-cOating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant TO take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

TILE FINANCIAL ASPECT.

The statements made by the Treasury
Department of the imports and exports of
this country during nine months of the
years 1877 and 1873 ending on the Both Of
September of each year, which appeared in
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, of yesterday
morning. make better showing for the
financial and general business prospects Of
the country than has been made in long
series of years, II ever. The reverslon Of
the current of trade is wonderful, and
should bring courage and cheer TO every
business interest in the country. Here is
the picture ms 1t is presented officially:
The excess Of exports over imports Of gold
and silver (coin and bullion) during nine
months ending September 10, 1871,
amounted to S2i, i,7OG,7s0. Now the tide OF
trade aud finance between the United
States and the rest of the commercial world
has turned, and for the nine months
Of the year 1873, ending September
so, the imports over exports OF
gold and silver (cOin and bullion)
amounted to 1921 ,06O. This shows in q
single year n reyersion Of trade In our favor
OF S25,02S,1 40, and the pouring in upon
American enterprises of this large sum, which
represents the outer world rs purchasing
more by 1921 800 during the nine months
referred to than we have purchased OF
them, demonstrates beyond ques,
ton that we are entering upon new finan.
cal departure, which is likely to continue
The drainage heretofore made upon us fol
coin aud bullion, which weakened our re-
sources, has been checked and the tide l.
strongly setting In our favor. This should
bring encouragement and hope to every
business interest in the country and inspir,
confidence in its ability to sustain specie
payments after resumption shall have beer
entered upon at the commencement of tn,
ensuing year. We can already discoye
Il disposition among those who care NOR
for the supremacy of gold than for the ma
tional credit, to impair public confidence II
the permanenCe of resumption under bi-me
talic coin as currency. Mr. HORACE WHIT
has entered upon the role of distractions
to resumption by assuming that the coinag
and use of silver will drive the gold out o
the country, and hence render resumption
of doubtful duration. All such theorie
thrust upon the public mind now are mis-
chevous, in 50 far as they challenge tn
fears of the timid by undermining conf
dence and exaggerating difficulties. Th
same influences that antagonized silve
coinage pending the passage of the law, ar
yet at work to bring disaster upon tn
country In future; but they will fail a
heretofore.
National Republican., 1878-10-31

THE Post.erior and its echo, the Balti-
more Gdseite, have descended to n plane of
controversy suited to their own tastes, no
doubt, and hence we propose to allow them
to enjoy II without much interference from
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN beyond an oc-
casional reminder by the way of stirring up
their unclean minds to activity. The read
ers of the Posi-erior and the Gazette may be
deeply interested in the age and personal
attractions of the editor of The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, over neither of which he has
any control; but its readers, we feel as
sured prefer the discussion Of other topics
of a wider public interest and which are
more consistent with the ends of newspaper
journalism. For that reason we do not pro-
pose either to defend or justify the years
that have come to us or the rare personal
charms that our assailauts have discovered
and seem to dwell upon with uncommon
delight. While we do not care to interfere
with their childish diversion, we must in
dulge the innocent remark that the present
performances of this brace of journals,
| which are "tarrcd with the same stick" are
very much like that OF the puppy who pur-
sues his own tail.
