treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class Of diseases. They

In the face Of a general protest
from the people against the tariff,
congress will raise the tariff on knit
goods to S5cts, and instead of attend
ing to the duties they are paid for,
they have turned the matter owe to a
committee. To apartisan committee,
solid for protection, the only effect
of which will be that, heretofore pro-
tectionists have paid their own bills
for tracts, showing that a tariff that
takes four hundred million a year
from producers for the benefit of
manufacturers is a blessing in dis
guise. Now the people will pay ten
dollars a day with many extras fol
advertising the interests of the manu-
%facturers, and will carry their pre-
tended report on revision of the tariff
through the mails free of charge after

published in Denver, which is also a
greenback paper, in speaking of H.

sit will be we'll for Greenback men
in Missouri to refrain from p~atroniz-

that is if they think they are helping
to support an honest, useful, Green

never seeks to obtain that which is
not his own by all the rules Of right ;
an honest man never seeks to deprive
an industrious worker Of that which
he has earned, and surely Mr.. Post,
in his publication of a Greenback
newspaper has earned all the friends
and all the support that i, is possible
for such friends to give him. H.

opinion that he would have betrayed
his Master for anywhere from 10 to
Is per cent of the sum Judas Iscariot
received. He has no conception OF
the aims of the Greenback party, but
looks upon the movement as some
thing by which he may skin out few
dollars from those who can be made
to believe that wind-mills are necessa-
ry for blowing and narrowing in good

Mexico, Mo-, has a fine gun club
for shooting pigeons, and a splendid
military company for breaking female
hearts, but no water works. This
seems to be on the good old theory
advocated by our forefathers q hun
dred years ago: millions for war
but not a cent for tribute" Judging
from the measures taken for her de-
