The pTesent writer once asked a dis
tinguisbed dispensing druggist TO
explain the secret OF the almost mn
versal demand for DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. He said they were in fact gem
pine medicines,-such compounds as
every good physician would prescribe
fof the diseases which they were ad-
veFtised TO cure. Or course, lhey cost
less than any druggist woaid Cargo
for the same article supplied on a phy-
sician's prescription and besides there
was the Doctors fee saved. Moreover,
buying the drugs in such enormous
quantities. having perfect apparatus
for purifying and compcundlug tbs
mixture he could not only get better
articles in the first place, but present
the medicine in better form and
cheaper than the same mixture could
possibly be obtained from any other
source.
Il may be thought that all this
having reference to DR.. Pierce's pri-
vate business has 10 point whatever
when considered in connection with
the proper qualifications of a candi-
date for the Senate. Perhaps. But II

have dissolved under the fire OF
Russian guns. The proudest eta,

years of the stronges. position i'll
Europe has given the Turk have
failed him at last. Enirenched in
the garden of Eden itself, with I'M
disputed possession Of the Black
Sea, and having the army and ma
Wy of England at his service, with
all the wealth of the Pharoah's
and the riches of the Nile pouring
into his treasury, the Sultan is at
last bowed at the feet of civiliza-
ton. No infantile republic was
ever weaker than he is to day.-
The Gear has notified him that no
where short of AdrianOple will he
treat or consider propositions of
peace. Forthwith the Turkish ar

Only Constantiuople is left, and,

But at last the hour has come, and

A Campaign SANDER.

When DR.. r. V. Pierce was q can
didate for State Senator, his political
opponents published = pretended anal

thereby To prejudice the people against
him. His election by an Overwhelm-

have been taken of these campaign

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
To the Voters and People gene
rally, OF the 2ud Congressional District.


In announcing myself as 4 candidate Of the
National Creen-bsck. Labor Party" 10 this
District, Tor Congress, T. now briefly lay down
some leading principles and proposition shall
maintain before them.
lst. That money ia sovereign power OF the
people; should never have been farmed out to
corporations; and, in accordance With the O.
pinions OF Jefferson and Calhoun, should be
promptly reclaimed, and exerted. in both its il
sue aud management by the nation only.
2nd. That money. Ia its constitution and true
nature. Is not 'matter Of gold, or silver, or a.
per, but is the mobolised, cooperative, or "ex-
ecutive power" OF the people TO effect the ex-
changes OF labor and property, and may by heir
sfamp-"image and superscription exert
ed by currency Of gold, silver, or paper. or
tne three jointly, and equally, made full legal
tenders for all dues public and private.
3rd. That all the e Id. and all the silver we
have, should be coined and used as currency,
and supplemented with greenbacks or treasury
notes, up to volume If currency adequate 10
the demands Of commerce trade md exchau yes
upon the cash principle.
4th. That, through bureau to be established
in The Ire asury department Of the national GO
vernmert, and bureaus in the several States,
gteenbacks, or treasury notes, should be loaned
by The general government to the States at one
per cent. and by the States To the counties AT
two per cent, and by the counties to the peo-
pie at three per cent, upon their securities TO
be decided on nnd declared by Congress; the
money 10 be retained AS long as Interest lie paid,
or the loan to be returned at the option of the
borrower thus relieving the people, and ex,er-
mina,ing usury, without usury lava"
9th. That this relief TO u suffering people can.
not be obtSined through either of the old par.
ties, and hence the necessity OF combination
of the masses of the people OF both parties into
new party for their safety and relief -
The Republican party is avowodly hard mo-
ney party, and the democratic party, even /
at the It'll hour, it adopts the greenbaclS sys
ten, is divided house and cannot give re-
lief The Northern members Of the party ar,
all for hard money, and many leading members
also, of the South-as Bayard, Lamar, and Ber
Hill Of Georgia.
With the announcement Of these general prin
ciples and propositions for the consideration Of
the voters and people Of this District and 9TH
ers, and 10 DO as brief az possible, | will now
conclude by saying that 1t Is my purpose to vie
II every county in the District to speak wher
ever am requested, or there 10 an opportunity
and TO confer with and be questioned by III
people 1T large upon their vital interests ii
this great and just cause and movement.
Most respectfully, your fellow citizen,
JOHN A. THOMSON.
