Hamburg Figs are crystalized fruit
cathartic, composed of fruits and vege-
tables, and, being in lozenge form, are
handy to carry with you. They act
mildly but surely, and by their regu-
lating influence overcome the tendency
to constipation from any cause. This
is especially true in all cases of sea
sickness or car sickness. which is due
to dangerous condition of the diges-
tive organs, over which Hamburg Figs
exercise a peculiar influence. 1t is
well known that even if the system is
in good condition at the beginning,
change in food and habits during a
journey often produce constipation.
Hamburg Figs are therefore recon-
mended to all travellers as being the
only medicine that is certain in action,
handy to have with you, most pleasant
and agreeable to the taste, and always
harmless. Hamburg Figs are sold at
ESQ. box st L. r. Kinks drug store.

An Improbable Business.

Our neighboring counties of Penn
sylvania, Lancaster and Chester, de-
rive $65,525 from liquor license an
nually, and the annual cost of these
counties tracable to liquor is So ,861,.
1874. The cost is estimated by a
statician of ability, DR.. WIN. Har-
graves of Philadelphia. This cost is
assessed on the following sources of
productive industry which are turned
into losses by the liquor traffic; viz,
on the productive industry of per-
sons in the liquor trade; the pro-
ductive labor of drunkards; loss of
time, cost of medlcies in sickness
and medical attendance caused by
drinking; loss to employers by
drinking employees; cost of support
ing defective persons by drink, as
insane, etc.; cost of supporting pau,
pers, nade such by drink; loss Of
labor of paupers; cost of police pros
ecutions, court expenses, loss by
Jurors, witnesses, etc, due to drink
A yearly loss by drink after deduct
ing the revenue received for "high"
license, of 50, 795 $50. To this waste
or expense should be added also the
money spent for liquor drank, which
is in truth every cent lost. and the
sum of the loss ON account of liquor
to those two counties will foot up
about $5.O00,000 annually, if we es-
innate the liquors sold at 20 times
the amount paid for license. and we
don't believe that any person at all
familiar with the trade will place it
less, and most probably at very
much more. Why do men complain
of high taxes and the loss which
would result from the abolition of
the liquor trade, and complacently
sacrifice such immense sums to the
Moloch of drink annually? Simply
because they are prone to stick to
old customs blindly without taking
the trouble to Think
The whiskey party driven in from
every othereline of defense are re-
treating on thigh license" and the
politicians who follow them for their
votes like flock of cormorants fol-
low school of behring's, are all
shouting "higl license" to the peo-
pie as great temperance movement,
and advocating the measure as
safe temperance plank for their
party's next platform. No greater
delusion and snare was ever set to
trap the too gullable public. Where
ever "high license has been tried
long enough to prove its merits, the
result has been dismal failure.

Church Prohibitlon Mass Meeting

Church Prohibition Mass Meeting.
The Baptist, Presbyterian and
Methodist ministers of Philadelphia
have made arrangements to hold a
monster convention at Association
Hall next Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The pastor and one other
representative of every church in
Philadelphia and vicinity are to be
requested to attend.
Tuesdays Times in reporting the
preliminary proceedings, says,
"Dr. John Peddle, in speaking
last night of the vote on prohibition
to be cast on 18th of next June, pre-.
dicted that the majority in this city
for prohibition would be fully 20, 200.
All the ministers on the commit
ties were enth astic about the move
ment and several of them stated that
their action was simply voicing the
sentiment of the masses. Next Sun
day announcement of the church pro
hibition mass meeting of next Mon
day will be made from every pulpit
in Philadelphia and within radius
of thirty miles.
The best pulpi. orators of this city
will address the convention, and the
largest assemblage of local clergy
men ever seen in this city it is pre-
dicted will gather at Association
Hall next Monday afternoon"

Senator Stewards Speech.

We conclude the admirable speech
of Senator Stewart on money in The

The outlook for the National Democratic
party, taken in connection with these facts
and recent events, is nything but encour-
aging. Thirteen electoral votes by these new
states are added to the sum which will be
required to elect the next President. with
the probable increase of several additional
votes, by the rush of emigration going to
this new land of promise. And from the
best light at present shed on the future,
every one of them against the Democrat
party.
The earnest, jealous members of that
party felt assured if the party could once
more get on its feet and succeed in placing
a President in the White House that they
could satisfy the people that it would be to
the nations interest to continue the party
in power. The opportunity came and it is
passed That hope was rot realized. Age,
it would seem, has enfeebled its hands, and
the reins of power fell from its grasp. True
the party claims that its defeat was not by
the popular will but was accomplished by
the use of money. Unfortunately such
charges appear to have little weight, and
are dismissed with the remark that the lat
ter's superior virtue consisted in the lack of
opportunity. The prominent fact is alone
taken cognizance of, that haying been plac-
ed firmly in power and failed to retain il
but brief period, from the popular stand
point is viewed as proof of incompetency
and untrustworthiness.
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware show ominors signs of a weaken
ing faith in the old party, and threaten to
fall away from it at any moment. The
hope of Federal office so potent with the
professional politicians has died with this
last defeat, and not a single encouraging ray
arrests the vision as the distant horizon is
scanned. This is the greatest unnerver of
the patriotic arm of the politician of them
all. With the remote possibility of power
and office wholly gone, he not only relaxes
his efforts but seriously meditates changing
his coat.
An old party cannot take up new ones.
tion lift is a leading question. 1t may
adopt side issues that are sure to be over
looked in the canvass. This fact was clear
ly demonstrated in the last campaign. The
Democrat party had host almost of living
issues to choose from; questions that had
an earnest following, and that large per
cent Of its members profess to favor, but
they were virtually ignored, and the old
bare bone of contention, the tariff, brought
TO the front. The very issue ofsll others
its wary enemy desired it to form its line Of
battle on.
The spark which conveyed the news 10
Europe had scarcely left the telegraph wire
when Blaine commenced writing the order
of battle for his party, with the result which
all know. No, the Democratic party is
hopelessly beaten with not ray of encour-
agement that it can ever again achieve
national success. Are its young men con-
tent to turn their faces to the past and listen
to the old men talk of party greatness in
by-gone-days and events that can never re-
turn, or will they resolutely face about and
