fortunes that Need mot be En-
dared.

People suffer a great deal Of pain unneces-
sarily. Among fortunes that need not be en-
lured are those inflicted by the rheuma-
tism and 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 matehless depurent, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, before the infiamma-
tory symptoms are developed to any great
extent When tits considered what excru-
chatting fortunes rheumatism infticts, and
what tendency it has. when fully devel-
oped, to attack the heart, the adyisability of
an early use of such reliable .antidote be-
comes ut once apparent. The rheumatic
virus ia expelled from the blood by increased
action of the kidneys-which act as strain
ers-prodaced by the Bitters, and the suf-
ferer will find, ii he uses this supreme de-
fensive ageEts that he will be protected
against return of the agonizing complaint.
dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver and bowel
complaints and other maladies, are also
cured by this admirable remedy.

BAD TIMES THE WORLD OVER.
Has Contraction Of Money been the Cause
of il.

During the debate on the repeal of
the bankrupt law the other day. Mr..
Hewitt spoke of the universal distress
throughout the world brought about
through speculation" (some indus
trious men call it ''enterprse').
1--WE are marching steadily and
surely (says Mr.. Hewitt) back to pros
perity. We are to-day on hard pan.
l was astonished to hear the gentle
man from Ohio Mr.. Ewing.) and the
gentleman from Pennsylvania MI.
Kelley PROFOUND the doctrines which
they have laid down here to-day.
! They seem to think that the distress
in this country with the attendant
shrinkage of values is something local.
Let me tell those gentlemen that this
condition Of things exist all over the
civilized globe. In Great Britain,
interrupted for a long period, there is
the same shrinkage Of values. In
France, where specie payments have
! been resumed under a scheme which
has received the unqualified approba-
ton of these gentlemen, there is great
commercial distress. In Germany,
where sound system of currency has
never been departed from, equal dis
tress prevails. The business depress-
ion and shrinkage of values are not To-
cal but universal. They are the reac-
ton from speculative era; and when
you have had an era of speculation
there is no remedy, but through much
tribulation, through shrinkage,
through liquidation of Indebtedness,
to get back to the point where we can
begin upon the foundation of solid and
real values, and upon honest and true
money
Mr.. kelley avail myself of the
two minutes allowed me to reply to
the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Frye
and the gentleman from n. Y. (Mr.
Hewitt) and to .ell them why prices
have fallen in every country, why ma
chinery is idle and the laboring peO-
pie of all countries are in poverty and
are unable to consume each other s
productions or to contribute to the
revenues of their government.
! Prices, sir, the world over, had adj
justed themselves to the volume of
gold, silver, and paper money in cir
culatiOn; and when Germany and the
/ United States thrust silver (Which was
about one-half of the metallic money
of the world) out of the category of
money metals. when Germany prohib
tied the circulation of any bank note
under $25, when the United States
contracted its paper money from two
thousand millions to practically less
than five hundred millions, they de-
creed the terrible shrinkage of prices
and consequent ruin which have taken
place throuhout America and Europe,
and thus deprived the laboring people
of the world of employment and of
the ability to earn the means to con-
tribute to tie public revenues.
Mr.. Hewitt has put his theory in
the most forcible shape we have ever
seen it presented by any man sharing
in his belief; but Mr.. kelley's rejoind-
er, in our opinion, completely annlhi-
lates the theory advanced and proves
to demonstration that contraction OF
the medium of exchange, on both
sides of the Atlantic, has been the
prime cause OF the industrial distress
witnessed in Europe and America.
