house, on the corner of Nineteenth and Muster
streets, for bottle of It, l rubbed my leg with II
that night and in short time the pain seemed TO
go away. Next morning the swelling had shifted
from under the ankle TO the upper part of the
knee. Well. / applied the Oil again, and the
swelling in short time went away, leaving a very
slight pain. | didn't use any more of the Oil,
thinking that the attack was all over. About II
week later it appeared again in the same place.
The leg swelled so badly that after coming down
and walking several squares / gave completely
out. Well, l went home, intending TO try some
French medicine, but forgot to get It, and having
part of this bottle of ST. Jacobs oil in the house

THAT ABSURD THEORY.

The Belfast Age still holds to "dstism."
II says that the reason why any coin or
paper dollar issued by the United States IL
worth 100 cents, is because Congress has
made Il legal-tender, and not because OF
any redemption or payment. IL this the
DRY be correct, then il is 4 waste TO use an
ounce OF valuable gold or silver for money
when pieces Of comparatively valuless pa
per. stamped by government and declared
legsl-tender by law, are just as good. II
"tistism" Is well-founded, then every dol
lar OF the greenback redemption fund
should be withdrawn, and gold and silver
discarded for use as money. We cannot
imagine a more benefcent discovery than
"hatism" would be II II had any founda-
ton in science or experience. The trou-
BILE is that both have shown the fallscy OF
the fat theory, and demonstrated that
nothing can be successfully used as money
unless il either has intrinsic value accord
ing 10 its purport, or is redeemed or paid
by the issuer Ia such value or its equiva.

SENATOR EDMUNDS ON THE PARTY.
Senator Edmunds Of Vermont, was In
vited to speak for the republican cause In
New Hampshire, and wrote the following
admirable letter In reply
BURLINGTON, Vt, Oct Q, 1889.
DEAR SIR: have yours Of the 9Th. |
regret that 1 am not In condition TINS
autumn to engage in political debates, and
so must decline your invitation to speak
IN the old Granite State. hope-and in
deed / cannot doubt-that the intelligent
citizens of your Commonwealth will per-
ceive the prime Importance OF doing their
share to keep the lsw-making power OF the
nation in the hands Of the party that pre-
served II from destruction, and that has
without exception, so far IS l recollect,
passed all the good laws OF national I'M
portance that have been enacted, and de
feated all the bad bills that have been de-
fested, in the last twenty years, against
the general opposition OF the representa-
tives OF the so-called democratic party.
To those who know the real history OF
parties, as shown in the proceedings or
Congress, the republican party, failing, as
/ think il sometimes has in its duty, stands
in regard 10 positive results In the making
an execution OF laws BENEFICIAL 10 all the
States, and to all the people, far In adj
vance OF any party since the revolution,
II has earned the confidence OF the people.
and ii deserves it, even In the face OF the
evil things that some OF the members have
done, for, as the world Is now constituted,
there will be no party that viii carry on
the government with more OF good or less
OF evil doing than II has done. So think
ing, believe vou will have the victory
that great aud good cause and earnest
eudesvor deserve. Very truly yours,

may any day see 10 from, OF the dry goods

ore dollar pair. 1t was but week or
two ago that we were reading in Wheeler's
History OF Brunswick, Topsham and
Harpsvel, that a century ago pair of
shirts cost a lsboring man half months
work. The statement, extravagant as ii
may seem 10 some Of Us, Is really no ex-
aggeration. Cotton cloth was sixty cents
yard-imported ii was, and not better
in quality than that OF the fifty cent shirt
OF to-day. The wages OF a laborer on q
farm, less than half century ago, was
six 10 eight dollars month for six months
or ten dollars a month through the hsying
season. Eight dsllars a month is frac-
ton short OF thirty one cents day. Two
days work for yard OF this thin, slazy,

better shirts is but the price OF a single
