A Tranquil Nervous System

Can never be possessed by those VIII ose
digestive and assimilative organs are in
astate of chronic disorder. Weak stom-
achs mako weak nerves. TO restore vigor
and quietude to the latter, the first must
be invigorated and regulated. The ordi-
nary sedatives may tranQuilfze the
nerves Tor a while, but they can never,
like HOstetter's Stomach Bltters, remove
the causes of nervous debility. That SUI
perb invigOrant and corrective of disor-
dered conditions of tho alimentary or
gans has also the effect of mparting tone
to the nerves. The delicate tissues Of
which they are constituted, when weak
ened in consequence of the impovcrish-
ment OF the blood, resulting from imper-
feet digestion and assimilation, draw
strength from the ttlnd of vitality devei-
oped In the system by the Bitters, which
imparts the required impetus to the nu-
tritive functions of the stomach, enrcr es
the circulation, and gives tone and regu-
larity to the secretive and evacuative or.

GREENBACKs.

The illimitable Groenback man refers
to the war period when you speak of the
currency, and says when there were
plenty of greenbacks there was plenty of
work. just So But of the 1000, 900
laboring men in the country, one million
were consumers and on-producers, while
the others supplied them. During the
war many things not in demand were
not increased in price. Put 81, OO0-
100000 of grcenbacks upon the country
in time of peace, and you will fnd the
necessaries of life will increase, while
the men holding all this money will be
able to control the wages of the laborer.
Another element also enters into the
discussion of the grcenback subject now,
which is a drawback to-day where it was
benefit during the war. Upon cngag-
ing in the war the nation was not in debt
and its credit was good. Instead of in
terchanging commodities with its people
and drawing balance at the close of
the year, it became debtor in hundreds
of millions annually. The $4,000, 000,-
600 debt of the nation is the surplus
earnings of the invividual people during
the war, and which they now have to
pay back in the way of interest. Then
the mechanic made So and $4 per day,
and-spent it, The man of economy
and the Spectator saved it. The poor
man lived in luxury for years, and it is
hard for him to accommodate himself to
the new condition of affairs.
1t is not high wages that the people
want, but plenty Of work at reasonable
wages. They also want cheap necessa-
ries of life, and to obtain these, they
must reduce taxation without destroying
the integrity of the Government The
Greenback theory will never do this /;
but the Democratic theory of withdraw
ing the national bank notes and substi-
tuting greenbacks will initiate in that
direction. Another purpose of the De-
mocracy is to substitute bonds bearing
low interest for the and per ecents no
out. Then when there is redundancy
of currency, the greenbacks may be ex-
changed for bonds when the country
needs moro money, the bonds may be
converted into greenbacks In this man
ncr trade can be balanced and the cur
rency will not depreciate. -CumJerland

Popular Fallacies.

The following bits of political wisdom
we clip from the address delivered at
Pimlico on Thursday of last week by
Senator Bayard:
Never was there time in the histo-
ry of our country when calm, iudcpend-
ent and resolutc resistance to wild and
dangerous popular fallacies was so need
cd as now.
Every thinking man must have felt
that the absence of legal ranks and classes
in the United States has created what
may be likened to broad prairie land
of public sentiment, over which every
gale that becomes popular sweeps with
unobstructed force, and levels all indi-
vidual opposition.
This is one Of the defects and dangers
of our Democratic form of government,
against which its friends must guard it,
and which especially needs tho opposi-
ton Of outspokon individuality Of opin-
ion, and is yet SO indisposed to tolerate
it.
A falschood is not the less false be-
cause thousand voices shout it; it is
only the more dangerous and should en-
counter more active and strenuous re-
sistanco.
We do need, and need badly, vigorous
uttorances Of Independent opinions. 1t
is from the conflict Of honest, outspoken
minds that truth is obtained, Just as the
steel and the flint are both required to
strike the light.
And to the tyranny ofunchecked pop
ular opinion is added the terrorism of
political partizanship, by which Ameri-
can intellect and personal conscience arc
so rudcly assaied overcome and dragged
in the dust Of wild and clamorous error.
Upon the thoughtful minds Of men
who love their country, and whose lives
are passed remote from crowds, | earnestly
press the consideration Of their duty and
responsibility to remedy these defects.
If, in the midst Of such financial dis
tress and bewilderment as now surround
us, remedies, iIlusory aud yet plausible,
should be urged; schemes which promise
immediate relief. unbo1nded, easy and
seductive, and which have caught the
popular mind sufficiently to promise the
possession Of temporary political power
10 their most conspicuous advocates, how
plain is the duty and responsibility of
every man who sees the lurking error
and the concealed danger of such meas
ures to bear his testimony in loud warn
ing against them
