of Simmons's Liver Regulator. which appears
in the paper of to-day. This standard remedy.
the only genuine of which is manufactured by
j. H. Zeilin Co.. and of which they are the
the sole proprietors, does not deserve to be
classed with the many patent" nostrums so
literally advertised throughout the country.
1t is one of the very best preparations in use,
and is recommended by the regular practition-
ers of medicine. 1t has large sale in this

A bottle or package should be found in every

prevent bilious attack If taken when the
symptoms first show themselves.

proposition to remove the remains of
Thomas Jefferson from Monticello to a

properly aroused feelings of opposition,
not to say of Indignation, of the people
of Virginia, who will never consent to
it. His remains repose just where he
wished, and to remove them would be
sacrilegious. We have no idea that they
will be removed, but ifthey should, they
should be buried, as our citizen, Charley
Grattan, and others have said, at the
University of Virginia which he had
distinguished honor of founding. We
believe that he had inscribed upon his
tomb the facts that he was the Founder
of the University of Virginia, and the
author of the statute conferring religious
liberty" His remains should not be
disturbed, but if they be. they should be
buried at the University and a suitable
monument to his memory should be
erected over them.

Strike Of LabOrerS.

The iaborers in the North and West
from Massachusetts to Missouri are on
strike for higher wages. These laporers
do not strike without a reason. Tney
claim that the wages they receive
ia not sufficient for them to support
their families at the present prices of
articles that they are compelled to use.
Two facts ofimportance are thus shown:
LIST. That the tariff does not have the eff
feet of increasing the wages of the labor.
ers, as is falsely asserted and clai med by
the advocates of high tariff, for the
capitalists will pay them as little as pos
sible and reap for themselves all the
benefit they can derive from the tariff,
which enables them to get higher prices
for the articles they manufacture.
End. That the tariff increases the cost
of the articles, such as blankets, cotton
cloth, cooking implements, and others
too numerous to mention which the la
borers are required to buy in the sup
port of their families. They are taxed
heavily without their knowledge by the
tariff, and laborers in factories as well
as farmers and others, should learn thai
they are interested in having low
tariff, which would reduce the cost O.
articles they are compelled to consume
AS long as the Government is in debt te
large amount, the tariff will be high
enough, though it be tariff for revenue
only, and will furnish, incidentally
sufficient protection to manufactures OF
all kinds. The tariff is used by monop'
oIists to make money for themselves Al
the expense of all other classes. Labor
ers and farmers are made to pay &
bounty to wealthy capitalists, who owr
large factories. AS a general thing, they
are heartless corporations, and merci
lessly "grind the faces of the poor.n
