Don't make the mistake of confounding a
remedy of merit with quack medicines. We

farker's Ginger Tonic is a sterling health re-

ALL TIE GREAT journals Of New
York and Philadelphia are owned by
bankers and brokers, and this accounts
for their opposition to silver money
and the greenback notes, which ale
really the best and ought to be the
safest note in circulation. Now, the
Tribune, which has heretofore shown
a determined hostility to the silver
dollar, turns its batteries upon silver
certificates and attempts to argue that
the issue of silver :rtificates contrasts
the currency. The fools are not all
dead, and doubtless it will fnd some
who will believe its lies. Just as
many fools believed it when 1t do.
clared over and over again that il
silver was remonetized and coined and
put in circulation all of our bonds
would be sent home from Europe and
all Of the gold in the country would
go to Europe, while the English and
Germans would food the country
with deprecated silver. Well, the
silver dollars were coined by order of
a Democratic Congress, and instead
of deprecated silver coming from
Europe and our gold going there We
have received regular food of gold
from Europe, such as was never
known before. The Tribune lied then
and it lies now. The issue of silver
certificates may make it more difficult
to circulate bank notes, but they do
not contract the currency.
