a source of considerable speculation
snd conjecture by sewing machine men
in general is: "Why is it that the can
vasser selling New Davis Machines can
go out and sell from five to seven, and
even more machines per week, while
the canvaSser for other machines con-
siders himself doing well if he accom-
plisheS the sale of. two or three other
machines per week?n This is very
easily answered. 1t is not because the
Davis is sold lower than any other, for
the price is from five to ten dollars
higher than that of any other machine
in the market; but it is because it pos
sesses many advantages over any other.

cal feed, an improvement which, in
point of superiority, no other machine
can approach. By the feed all kinds
of sewing, even the most difficult trim
ming, is made in the most perfect man.

ing. Its attachments are so simple,
many of them working automatically,
that any lady, possessing even but
slight knowledge of running machine,
can execute every variety of household
sewing upon the Davis, with an ease
and rapidity impossible with any 9TH

"W. Fisher, Jr., ESQ.,

The following was in reply to Mr..
Blaine's letter of April 13, 1872, already
published:
Boston, April Is, 1S72.-My Dear
Blaine: Your favor Of the 18th inst.
reached me this morning. l am sur
prised at its contents. L have loaned
you at various times, when you were
comparatively poor, very large sums of
money, and never have you paid me
one dollar from your own pocket, either
principal or interest. l have paid sun
dry amounts to others to whom you
were indebted and these debts you have
allowed to stand unpaid like the notes
which hold. 1 have placed you in po-
sitionS whereby you have received very
large sums of money without one dol
lar of expense to you, and you ought
not to forget the act on my part. Of
all the parties connected with the Little
Rock and Fort Smith Railroad, no one
has been so fortunate as yourself in
getting money out of it. You obtained
subscriptions of your friends in Maine
for the building of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad. Out of their
subscriptions you obtained a large
amount both of bonds and money free
of cost to you. l have your own figures
and know the amount. Owing to your
political position you were able to work
off your bonds at very high price, and
the fact is well known to others as well
as myself. Would your friends in
Maine be satisfied if they knew the
facts? Are my associates satisfied to
have you obtain SO, 700 for Northern
Pacific Railroad and you not make the
investment as per agreement? The
course you have thought proper to take
i'll regard to my request is rather a poor
one, taking your relations with me, and
/ again ask you to consider it and grant
it. You will find it much easier to pay
by obtaining the credit, and l select
that course thinking it to be the best.
If you again decline l shall be obliged
to use the notes or sell them to outside
purchasers. Necessity knows no law.
Whatever bonds still due to YOU
will be delivered as the road progresses.
The other portion of your letter make
no reply. You know the facts, it is
sufficient that 1 know them, and it is
useless to mention them at this time.
Please answer at once. l remain re-
Spectfully yours,
WARREN FISHER, Jr."

a Valuable Chill Tonic. Read this
Testimony.

New Albany, Miss, June 9, 1881.
Mess r. A. Robinson & Co., LouisviIle.-Gentle-
men. Out of several gross of Hughes Chill Tonic
sold since located here two years ago, not fail
ure has been reported. The demand is increas-
ing daily. The people have learned that it is as
represented-a certain, safe and speedy cure for
Chills and Fever-and will have no other remedy.
This is the almost universal statement of my
customers in this section. Its advantages over
Quinine and other anti-periOdics have been thor
Oughly demonstrated. Besides the efficiency of
this Tonic, the safety and comfort attending its
use speak highly in its favor. Small children take
it readily. In my drug store, popular Physician
has his Office. You know the regular IN. ID. -

Tonic is the only one of which he has ever spoken
favOrably. After eXhausting the Materia Medica,
Intellectually, he was cured of a case of chronic
Chils, of long standing, by the use of half bot
tie of Hughes Tonic. Really it is pleasure to
handle such a remedy, for it never disappoints.

you with hundreds from reliable persons. The

replenish soon. 1t is one of my staples.

More Mulligan Letters CauseBlaine

Like the Bread Cast Upon the
Waters, is Returning to
Him Ten Fold.

The following are only a few of the
true letters from Mr.. BLAINE's own
hand which have been given to the
public by Messrs. Warren Fisher and
James Mulligan. The three which we
give are sufficient to prove how low and
corrupt BLAINE allows himself to be-
come in order to gain wealth. They
also prove him to be a man void of
principle and unworthy the support of
the American people for any Office with

AUGUSTA, Me-, 18th Nov. 1862
My Dear Mr.. Fisher: 1t is quite evil
dent to my mind that at the approach
ing session of Congress there will be an
expansion of the currency to the
amount OF fifty to seventy-fve millions
of dollars. The form it will take. l
think, will be an addition to the nation
al bank circulation West and South.
My object in writing is to ask in sea-
son if your friends would desire to eS-
tablish national bank at Little Rock.
s. 1t will be to some extent a matter
of favoritism as to who gets the banks
in the several localities, and it will be
In my power to cast an anchor to the
windward' in y'r behalf if you desire it.
Please think over the matter, and con-
fer with Mr.. Caldwell, and let me know
your desires as soon as you reach any
conclusion. There is, of course no
special hurry; but 1 thought 1 would
suggest the matter in order that you
might mature your thoughts in good
time. Yours very truly, u. G. BLAINE.

In very painful and embarrassing sit
uation growing out of my connection
with the Fort Smith enterprise. I have
paid and caused to be paid into y'r
treasury about S250,000, and the only
result to me is the most painful per-
plexity. Now, have a proposition to
make to you, which l think is most
liberal and fair, going as far as l posi-
bly, can go without running myself past
all recovery.
Now, if you will take up the $40, 900
or coupons, paying me the cash there

this matter, you will make an effort to
do this. Yours truly,
