How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind !! How infinite the scope
of mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
we contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence Of dust when blasted by
disease-his noble functions per-
verted or destroyed?
AS call men are born free and
equal rs far rs moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
As long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is a conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
impossibility, us long rs people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in ovcrthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up the to present time, viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible
remedy for all affections Of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is a reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, Ga recon-

THE OPIUM TRADE AGAIN.

The ADVERTISER recently adYo-
Gated the repeal of the law prohibit
ing the importation of opium, for the
reason that it had failed in it's object.
In other words, we stated broadly that
quite as much opium had been i'm
ported since this law went into opera
ton as there was iii any correspond
ing period before its enactment. OBJ
lection was taken to our suggestion
by influential people upon moral
grounds, but in the course of a few
days a seizure was made which con-
firmed our views most fully. Last
Thursday the police department.
made seizure of 368 cans of opium,
part of much larger consignment
which appears to have been shipped
by the w. g. Irwin and on Satur-
day last, as detailed in our local re-
port yesterday, further seizure of
800 cans opium, which arrived by the
Alameda, invoiced as " butter" was
made.
These seizures, although important,
extensive contraband opium trade,
and effectually dispose of the "moral"
argument in favor of the law. There is
nothing immoral in the opium trade
per Sc. 1t ia the use to which the
drug is put that is objected to. Now,
if opium could be excluded from the
country, except what was used ia
medicine, we should most heartily
approve doing SO; but as it cannot be
excluded we object, upon moral and
economic grounds, to the continu-
ance of a system which inures to the
profit only of rascals, and does not in
the least degree protect victims of
Opium-smoking from their debasing
habit.
Indeed, it appears to US not little
singular that the ''moraP' argument
should be persisted in against the
preponderating testimony of facts in
opposition 1T is to be hoped that
the authorities will sift this opium
smuggling business to the bottom,
and drag every one concerned in it to
the light of day. Large fortunes are
being made at it,. Let the country
and the world know who are the bene-
ficiaries of this illegal and demoraIiz-
ing traffic. If the task is set about as
it should be, we cannot but think that
the aiders and abettors of Chinese en-
gagged in this business will be dragged
to the bar of justice, and receive the
condemnation of the law and tho
heavier censure of an outraged COM

PASTOR CRUZAN'S MEMORIAL DIS
COURSE.

Yesterdays ADVERTISER contained
full report of Pastor Cruzan's dis
course ia anticipation of Decoration
Day. 1t was in every respect worthy
the occasion and the space devoted to
it in our columns. The careful po-
litical student and man of affairs will
generally agree with the preacher
political tricksters, mammon-wor-
shippers, impure and vicious persons
will differ from him. The present is
to the latter classes aIl-important;
the future is of no consequence to
them unless they can discount it.
But national life is continuous. 1t is
not of to-day, but for all time. And
nations, like individuals, are pun
ished for sins of omission as we'll as
for sins of commission, by the mex
orable laws of Providence or destiny,
as one may please to phrase it. The
United States was punished for it's
great sin of commission, in perpetu-
atiRg human slavery, which had been
planted upon American soil in the
old Colonial days, just as Great
Britain was punished, nearly a CEN
fury before, by the loss of its Ameri-
can provinces, by reason of its mani
fold sins of omission and commission
in relation thereto. righteousness
exalteth a nation; but sin is a re-
preach to any people"
The social and moral conclusions of
the preacher are unassailable. He
has read Alright the lesson of Ameri-
can progress and civilization. The
hope of America-which is the hope
of mankind-is not it's railroads or
telegraphs, its politicians or million
aires, its fashionable churches and
time-serving preachers, or its sensa-
tional and partisan press. Its hope
is in it's manly men and in its true
hearted and noble women and there

are millions such to carry the great
Republic through all the dangers
which threaten the permanence of
its free institutions, and menace with
extinction the God-given principle Of
individual sovereignty.
Pastor Cruzan was unquestionabIy
right in his remarks regarding the
growing influence of the liquor sa-
loon in American politics. It is in
deed pregnant danger to America,
but the ballot will cure that evil,
despite the ignorant, besotted and
purchasable foreign vote, if the bal
lot can only be appealed to honestly.
Indeed, the cure for all the radical
evils that pertain to American politics
appears to US to lie in the enfran-
chisement of women. Their real
sphere of operation is the home; and
women may always be trusted to vote
for the preservation of the home and
the happiness and welfare of the fam
lily. Give American women the fran
chise, and the huge political blunder
of the Naturalization law as an in
centive to universal immigration will
be offset effectually.
In conclusion, we congratulate the
veterans of the American Civil War
upon the manly, logical and liberal
address which was delivered to them
from the pulpit of Fort-street Church
on Sunday last.

into every household, because it is a

vicious advertising notices, neither
does it publish anything which the
most fastidious could object to. In

in honest reporting and unprejudised

THE TREATY AND THE PRICE OF
SUGAR.

The f'Pressp was disingenuous in it's
quotation from the "Planters' Month
lyt last Saturday. It's extract did
not touch the point that the price of
sugar on the Coast affected the
Treaty, which was the one made by
the 'tPress" in its bill of indictment
against Colonel Spreckels the week
before. Now, if the Treaty is not in
f1uenced, direct or indirect, by the
price of sugar to consumers in San
Francisco, it does not matter in the
least what regulates the price there.
Prices depend upon supply, demand
and competition, speaking gem
orally. Of course there are
minor elements to be con-
sidered, but these are the prime
factors. Whenever it happens there
fore that the refiners, who control
the supply of sugar, agree upon a
price, their fiat regulates the market;
when they disagree, prices huctuate;
in other words, there is either uni
fOrmity or a succession of cuts in
prices.
This last condition now prevails
upon the Coast, where sugar is
cheaper than in New York. Form
erly the refners acted in concert,
and the sugar trade was profitable to
all concerned. But will the "Press"
now say, because refined sugar is
lower in San Francisco than at any
other point of production in the
States, that the "Chronicle" and
other opponents of the Treaty will
withdraw their opposition. 1t is alb
surd to suppose so. It is also absurd
to hold the California Sugar Refinery
responsible for this opposition be-
cause, like prudent business people,
its management conducted its affairs
with view to profit. The point of
Importance to US is, that Hawaiian
planters have always received the top
figures for their raws, regulated by
the price in the worlds open market,
solely through the business enter
prise of the California Refinery. The
price to consumers in California did
not at all affect the price paid to pro-
ducers on these islands, which was
the highest the markets of the world
afforded, and did not enter into the
policy of the Treaty, which was to
promote international trade between
the United States and Hawaii. This
it has accomplished. The Coast has
cheap sugar now when the Eastern
States has dear sugar, although the
Coast had formerly dear sugar while
the East was he to &c per pound
cheaper-or the equivalent of rail-
road freight on refined sugar between
these two sections of country.
The "Press' understands this ques-
ton thoroughly we doubt not, but it
lacks the honesty to admit the truth
and apologize for its slanderous at
taeks upon Colonel Spreckels, in
