One Vacant Office Hard to Fill.
The Nautical Almanac Office has
called on Civil Service Commissioners
Lyman for q computer and Mr.. Ly.
man cant get one. A computer has
to be thoroughly versed in higher
mathematics and is engaged in com.
plicated calculations for the Nauti
cal Almanac. The salary is only $3.50
year, with chance to get 5000.
Congress pays 81, AGO year to men
who don't need to know anything
men who simply open doors and run
errands, and in the departments
81. 200 and 81 400 salaries are paid to
clerks who need only very ordinary
education and no unusual average
ability. but $3.50 is the salary of man
who must be an accomplished math-
ematician. Mr.. Lyman says that the
poor pay of such employees, who are
re luired to have knowledge Of the
higher mathematics, as contrasted
with the compen sation Of ordinary
clerks. is one result Of the long con-
tinuance of the system Of appoint
ments through political favor.
The Offices whic h the ordinary 30
litical worker could fill were proyiu-
ed with comfortable salaries. The
computer never amounted to much
in politics. and hence he was given
a salary that taxed his ability to the
utmost in computing how he could
make it cover expenses.

In reply to Mr. Page we will say
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
Of diseases: we have not the space to
catalogue them, and perhaps If W.
published them those ullacquainted
by experience with our valuable rem
edy might doubt its efficacy still, as
SO many worthless preparations are
thrust on the market and pulled in
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed to
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
of time, are hale and hearty. whether
they are young or old. Those who
doubt and fai! 70 take it are likely t.
fall into all manner OF ailments, great
and small. Vinegar Bitters, both Old
and New Styles, keep those who take
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when we once
gain a customer, we keep them al.
ways, like Mr.. Page. who sent eighty
miles for Vinegar Bitters, aud it was
almost tide for life.
The New Style Vinegar Bitters is
clear, dark reddish color.
and extremely pleasant to the taste.

A FEW PLAIN FACTS.
That the Plain People Should Con-
slider with Solemn Earnestness.
THE RETAIL MERCHANT.

sh'
No one suffers more than the mer-
chant from the wretcled financial
policy Of our government, but he
! doesn't seem to know probably
has never given the subject consid-
alton. Let us illustrate his situations:
He has say two hundred farmers who
do the principal ain ount Of their deal.
ing with him. They all own their
farms. 80 Of them have mortgages
on their farms averaging eight hnn-
dred dollars each. The annnalin inter-
est at s per cent Is $1,000. They
must pay this before they can deal
with him. They all pay taxes. which,
including import duties, amount to
$25 each-$ 5000 for all. Now. here
il the sum of $l3. 600 first to come out
Of their annual product before tie
merchant is reached. If poor year
h y barely make enough to pay this.
Ii u good year they do not have
much over, the way prices are. So
they are not very liberal patrons Of
merchants as rule, and some who
do patronize him under ali agree
ment to pay when they sell their
wheat or their hogs don't pay him,
for a very simple reason-because
their money will not go around.
| Now, let us suppose that the mon
ey volume is increased fifty per cent,
and the prices are increased fifty per
cent, a sure result of the increased
money volume all things else be-
ing equal. "All respectable authori-
ties says the U. s. Monetary Com
mission, agree as to the relative
effects Of an increasing and decreas-
ing money'-that is, increasing vol
ume, increasing prices, decreasing
volume, decreasing prices. The pro.
duct of the 200 farmers which now
sells for twenty thousand dollars
would sell for thirty thousand, while
the interest payments would remain
the same, and the taxes would be in
! creased very little, II any, as they
are levied chiefly to pay fixed salar.
les, fees, interest charges, etc. These
two hundred farlnere would have ter
thousand dollars more every year te
Ispend with the merchants and others
Better than that still, they coul,
soon pay off their mortgages and the
$1,000 they pay as interest would be
saved and added to the amount the,
would have to spend with the mer
chant and others. No one should
