RATIONAL TREATMENT

We appeal to the readers if it is not fair
to suppose that the whole list of maladies that
be logically aud demonstratiyely traced to their
primary calsas, should not be cnrable by the ap-
plication of remedies known 10 remove such eau
Briefly to rec8pitulate, it has heen shown
how hillary and nreInic poisons, which in health
are removed from the blood and system through
the functions of the liver and kidneys by their
pernicous operation on the living tissuee produce
great variety of distressing symptoms, innumer-
able skin diseases, ulcers, scrofulous sores and
sWelhngs, and lingering and grave lung diseases
chills and fever asthma, and govt. Each of these
several divisions of malades are, as the writer IL
well aware usually treated if entirely unlike in
their nature and demanding different classes Of

The Issue.

When the republicans yesterday re-
fused to vote for Springer's resolution
prohibiting the use of the army and navy
as a police force at the polls, they ire
trevably committed themselves as in favor
Of bayonst rule, an issue which fhe demo-
Gratis cheerfully accept aud on which the
people will be called to decide 10 1880.
Following is the clause in full:
WHEREAS, The presence of troops at
the polls is contrary to the spirit OF our
institutions, and traditions OF our people,
and tends TO destroy the freedom OF
elections. Therefore, be it enacted that
it shall not be lawful to bring or employ at
any place where general or special cleo
ton is being held in state, any part OF
the army or navy of the United States as
a police force to keep the peace at the
polls.
There is no way for the stalwarts to
crawl out Eof the dilemma into which
blinded partisanship has led them. The
issue is a vital one-it is question Of the
utmost importance to every American cit
izeD. There is nothing more sacred to the
people of this countrysthan the purity of
the ballot The very nature of our insti-
tutions should forbid any unwarranted
interference with the right of exercising
the elective franchise. It has been the
pride of Americans to say that In this
country, all were equal, and that the people
ruled supreme. Never in the history of this
republic has any party dared to use
the military for political purposes without
being censured by the people.
The coming test will prove no ex-
ception to the rule and the re.
publican party, the party Of fraud, corrup-
ton, and bribery, the party who, 10 1876,
10 defiance OF the people, deliberately
seated the man Hayes in the presidential
chair aud who now seek to perpetuate
their rule by force, will be thoroughly re-
buked in 1880.
The people of this country will look to
the democratic party to relieve them from
the thieving rule of the corrupt republican
party and they will not look in vain.
Democracy means the people; the demo
cratic party represents the people, and il
1880, when the grand contest occurs, there
will be an overwhelming defeat to republic
can rule. 1t will be democratic presi'
dent who will be elected, and woe to thu
one who dares attempt repetition of re
turning board schemes, or electoral com
mission robbery.
