The unequal division of profits be-
tween capital and labor is forcibly
demonstrated in the fact that capital
can combine In almost any protective
industry and close one half OF the
mills and pay rich dividends to their
owners to remain in idleness. But il
labor should lay of one-half it's force
in any industry and attempt to pay
wages to the idle half, both the idle
and the employed would starve TO
death in less than thirty days. And
il the employed half should follow
the example Of capital and force wa

Milo Page, of San Bcrnarnino, Col,
on Sept. Z, writes rs follows:
In 1858 ] was taken with bilious col
ic, being then seventeen years Odd.
Yearly attacks followed, and ut
length they became more frequent.
In 1872, while residing in Oakland,
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DIR. pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.

the bottle as before, taking TIN &c
doses daily, and for nine years after

dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bittecs,

write this because you do not es-
pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters
for bilious collie. Only those WHO
have suffered the agOnies of this dis
ease, can understand what boon q
sure cure il, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per.
haps the only real remedy known.
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 We
published them those unacquainted
by experience with our valuable re.ll-
edy might doubt its efficacy still. III
SO many worthless preparations tire
thrust OH the market and pulled in
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed t.
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
Of time, are hale and hearty, whether

doubt and fail to take it are likely to
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

gain customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eight,

SENATORS Of the peace appointed q

Thousands Of men who stand NOR

are to-day out looking for work, and
depending on the crusts OF bread CIV

tramping and begging a crime, and
are a disgrace to the civilization Of
the nineteenth century;and yet these
city marshals propose to make the
asking for bread q crime, punishable
with one years imprisonment at
hard labor.
We have no hesitancy in saying
that the men who passed such . res

average tramp. They are more dam
gerous to q free government, and
need suppressing great deal more
than the tramp does.
