mating separate candidates for governor.
unite on congressman and state legislature
on the simple platform of the substitution
OF greenbacks for national bank notes-iy-
noring the question as 10 whether those
notes shall be redeemed in coin. This is
the unworthy dodge attempted by the dem
ocratic convention in Pennsylvania. bu,
nobody can be caught with such chat here
in Maine. The great financisl issue is
whether or no paper notes circulating as
rnoney-whether issued By government or
banks, or both-shall be redeemsble In
coin as the sound money men ask. or shall
be left unredeemed TO rest on wha, is called
the faith and credit Of the government

The Potter Resolution.

but often with his health seriously i'm

When one studies carefully the record OF
the democratic Congress now In session.
he is irresistibly led to the conclusion that
the democratic members OF that august
body have formed themselves into a society
for the propagation OF national ills, coui.

referred are Insignificant As fast As the
nation RECEIVERS from one OF these evils.
smother Is sent out broadcast TO infiict the
people.
The last and worse scour.e Of all is the
Potter resolution. In view OF the general
ness and destitution OF thousands of our
citizens,-the lack of confidence, and the
delay in the revival of business. for which
this resolution is responsible, the verdict OF
all good citizens must be tina; its introduc-
ton in Congress at this time is nothing less
than criminal folly.
We venture the prediction that the title
of Mr.. Hayes to the Presidency will never
be disturbed, and that no good whatever
can come from the agitation OF question

no laurels In contest of this kind; but
on the contrary, their acts, II they persist

THE ART OF PRoLoNGING LIFE.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and prcmsiure death are al
most always due to violations Of the laws that
govern our physical icing, and OF which the
masses are ignorant. II men knew better they
would do better but how can they avoid AT

profoundly ignorant OF the structure Of their
own bodice. and the laws OF physical being
upon which their health and lives depend.
They are sent 10 school and crammed with
arithmetic, grammar, geography, by teachers
who. IN msny instances. have never studied
physiology and hygiene. They ar. taught to
locate The mountains and trace the rivers OF
foreign countries, but are never taught to To-
cate the vital organs aud glands OF their own
bodies. or trace the veins. arteries. and nerves,
in their ramihcAiions. They are instructed In
the flow OF the tides. and the course OF the
ocean currents, and the philosophy Of winds
aud storms; but they have no correct concep-
ton of the relative effects upon their health OF
breathing pure or impure air, nor has their al
,enilon ever been called TO the importance OF
keeping their bodies clean and healthy BY reg
ulsr bathing. The crimnality OF such neglect

The Greeuback Question.

We have been often asked why we do
not discuss the greenback question, as 9TH
er papers are doing, and answer the argu-
ments OF the soft money men.
We had supposed some things were SET
tied practically for this world. We are
aware that perpetual motion is still be-
lieved In and sought after by many erthu-
sissts, but xe are none the less confident
that 2600 years Of experiment has settled
that no perpetual motion can be had with
out perpetual force. Ii may be that alche-
mists here and there are still cropping for a
process OF tFansmutation OF baser metals
into gold. bot We have believed that 1000
years OF failure has settled that gold must
be digged for, IL we would have IT,
We are well aware that many people the
world over. are continually hoping for the
discovery of some philosophers stone. some
mystical virtue that will enable us all to
live In leisurely ease, but We have sup
posed thaf the history Of the world for
5000 years has proved the Biblical truth,
that In tbs world. man must get his bread
by the sweat of his brow.
We also know THAI now, as for hundreds
of years past, there are people, who believe
that there Is some mysterious principle 10
finance, or legislation that will free US all
from debt, and make us all rich, II it can
only be discovered. We suppose these
men in America nov think they have
discovered it in the wonderful and magi.
cal Greenbaek. Still we had supposed the
experience of 20 many nations, and 50
many people, for SO many years had set
tied that industry and economy were the
only road to wealth-that patient labor
aud steady self denial were the only means
of the sccumulStiO0 of property.
Another reason for our silence has been
our inability to get At the real scheme. and
understand the various arguments. We
understand the invectives - ''hardware

bondholders,- "money lenders" and 9TH
