HEALTH HINTS
Fer Old and Young.
BY PROF. FELIX L. OSWALD, A.
NJ, NJ. D.

We have secured a contributor Of unusual in
terest and value 20 our readers in the person Of
Prof Felix I. Oswald, probably the best
known and most popular writer on health and
its laws Of any among English-speaking peO-
pies He is the authors Of the following widely
read books, besides a host Of minor works:
Physical Education; or, the Health-LaWs of
Nature; Household Remedies for the Preva-
lent Disorders Of the Human Organism" /;
SGmmerland Sketches; or, Rambles in the
BackwoOds Of Mexico and Central America - /;
s. The Poison Problem; or, The Cause and Cure
Of Intemperance"; geological Sketches: A
Contribution to the Outdoor Study of Natural
History: Days and Nights in the Tropics :" ;;
81 The Bible Of Nature"
Prof Oswald viii write exclusively for our
readers series Of plain, straightforward talks
on health, how TO maintain it, and how to re-
gain it when lost. BE viii take up the yari-
Gus diseases. describe them in simple, every
day language, free from scientific jargon and
the humbug Of medical almanacs. He WIZ
give the best advice as TO the treatment Of dis
eases, and the best methods to ameliorate them
and bring about a restoration to health.
We congratulate ali our readers upon this ar
Tangement, which we feel viii be great beBe-
ct to every one Of them, and every week be
worth vastly more than the entire cost Of the

capita for every man, woman and child IN
the country. This MADE an annual payment
for every average family of five of S21.45 in
gold. Practically it was treble or quadruple
this for those who paid it, because the people
of the South paid almost none, and nearly
the whole amount was paid by the two
thirds of our population living north of
Mason & Dixon's Line.
Within 10 years after the war these people
numbering not more than 25 900, 900 at the
outside, and of whom the 100000 men who
had served in the army formed the bulk of
the producers and taxpayers-paid off the
enormous amount of $685., 254,559 of the
principal of the Indebtedness, besides 81, 413,-
45O, $50 of interest in gold, or $2,071, 705,019
in all-much more than twice the total
amount of the public debt to-day! They
reduced the principal from $2,844649,626
in 1865 to $3.50, 1885, OCT in 1876, and
the annual interest from $3.50, 697 to
sos, 104, 269 or from S429 per capita to
$40. 1t is now but SO cents. When
they began paying the debt it aggre-
gated $78.25 per head for every man, woman
and child in the United States. To-day it
is SIS head, or not one-quarter what the
people of the North paid every year from
1865 to 1876 on the interest and principal of
the public debt. Why should this generation
shrink from doing in a period of years less
than the men who fought the war through
did in any one of the years Immediately
succeeding the close of the struggle?
Let us pay the debt off and have done
with it. Let US present to the debt-erushed
nations of Europe the proud spectacle of a
giant Republic which owes not dollar to
any man. This viii be an achievement that
will crown with luster the glorious work of
the war.

THE reappointment of CorpI Tanner to
place on the GAR. National Pension Com
mittee-which is the sixth time, if our
memory serves us rights deserved tribute
to one of the best and ablest comrades in the
Order. No one in the GAR, is closer to the
hearts of more old soldiers than the imbless
man whose burning eloquence has so often
thrilled the comrades from Maine to Cali
fornia. He stands shoulder to shoulder with
them in everything, feels as they feel, and
voices their feelings in words which very
few men indeed have the ability to- use. The
GAR are proud of Tanner, and he deserves
all the love and admiration which they be-
stow upon him.

ACCORDING to the report of the Treasurer
of the United States for the month ending
Nov. 30, there is sill SOL ,925,O78.61 of the
peoples money loaned to the banks of the
country, without interest, which they loan
out again to the people at high interest.
This procedure is absolutely without justi-
fication. Three or four million dollars are
in this way put into the pockets of favorite
bankers, and individuals are directly en-
riched at the expense of the entire people.
The interest which these favored bankers
virtually fitch from the people would put
over 10000 disabled veterans on the pay
rolls at $12 a month, or more than 10000 at
So month.

losses don't appear in connection with those
of the Army of the Potomac and the rebel
reports are VIGOROUSLY false They certainly
lost nearly as many men as we did in the

THE ECLIPSE.

We present to our readers this week an ar
ticle of unusual value. 1t is a talk on
eclipses, with description of the great solar
eclipse next week, by one of the most COM
petent men in the country to impart that
sort of information. AS we all know, the
United States Naval Observatory is the
principal astronomical institution in the
country, and ranks with any in the world.
The author of the article-Lieut. Winter
halter-is one of the staff of the Observatory
and everywhere recognized as a highly ac-
complished scientist
The coming eclipse is an astronomical
event of great Importance, and we are glad
to give the readers of TIE NATIONAL TRIB-
UEE the best account of it furnished by any
paper.
The National tribune., 1888-12-27

We can well afford to submit this sched-
ule without comment, and ask those who are
clamoruus about reduction of the bur
dens of taxation" where it is desirable in
anyinterest that a dollar of this taxation be
taken off? Where can a reduction be made
that viii benefit the people? Is it desirable
that whisky or beer shall be made cheaper;
and if it is, would it be made so by taking
off the tax? Would the man who drinks at
the bar get his beverage a cent cheaper be-
cause the brewer, distiller, rectifier, whole
sale and retail dealer were relieved from
taxation? 1t is absurd to suppose it To
take the tax off would be to simply make
the men who make and sell liquors that
much richer. Are they not becoming rich
fast enough as it is?
More reason exists for abolishing the tax
on tobacco, but this is so small in amount
that its burden is scarcely felt-except in
some rare instances, which viii probably be
adjusted. On the other hand, it is very de-
sirable that the machinery should be kept
up, for there is no telling what day it may
be needed to raise large sum of money
needed for some National purpose. 1t is
cheaper in every way to maintain this ma
chinery in operation than to destroy it now
and re-create it when we have need of it.

IF the men who fought the war through
could cheerfully pay, as heads of families,
an average of $3.50 a year for 10 years, in
order to pay over 100000, 900 of our debt
and interest, the people of to-day ought to
be willing to endure the light taxation we
now have until the small remainder of the
debt is wiped out and the mortgage lifted
from the Nation.
The National tribune., 1888-12-27

The people of the South, as we have
shown by statistics did not pay per cent.
of the debt and interest which was paid
from 1865 to 1876. The burden fell upon
the 100000 young men of the North who
had fought the war through Now let the
people of the whole country do their share
as the veterans did, and wipe the last vestige
of the debt out.
