Three fourths Of century the Sth
of January, since the memorable bat
tie of New Orleans, and the defeat OF
the British under packenham. No
foreign foes have dared invade our
territory with an armed force since
that eventful battle and defeat. But
a more dangerous foe than the armed
force OF the world invaded our coun-
try. when British emissary came to
the United States with half a million
dollars to bride an American Con-
gress to adopt the theories of the
Hazard circular. Out OF this theory
has grown our system Of alien land
owners, of perpetual bonded debt
in the interest Of capital and against
the laborers and producers of the
country. 1t is concentrating the
property of the country into the
hands of the few to the impoverish-
ment and pauperism of the many. 1t
is the important factor in establish
ing class distinctions transferring pc
litical power to the influence Of mon
ey. thus through bribery, Doodle and
corruption thwarting the will and
overturning the expressed wish OF
the people.

The leading minds OF France have
come to the conclusion that the Ma
tional system Of education is defective
on its physical side. and efforts are now
being made TO acclimatize cricket, foot
ball, rowing and American baseball in
French schools The Minister Of Edu-
cation has issued paper in favor oil
athletic exercises.
The Canadian Missionary Mackay
on the Chinese island Of Formosa is
very strongly advocating the training
Of native preachers for the work
among their countrymen. One Of his
reasons is an economical one; an Amer
lean, even il he lives like native, will
cost 1000, whilst genuine native will

native ministry must be done by for

The Protestant Churches OF the
United States contribute annually $11,-
250,00 for foreign missions, and, &C
cording to Dion Boucicault, more than
$500. 600. 900 are paid every year by the
American people for their theatrical
entertainment"-nearly eighteen dol
lars to support the theater for one
given to send the gospel to heather
nations; and yet there are those who
declaim against the cost Of foreign mis-
sions!
The prime minister OF Siam, one
of whose residences is in Ratbari, after
repeatedly expressing his wish for a
mission there. now offers large brick

Harrison W. Harrison.

Ex-senator, now President
Harrison, said in speech in the
senate on March %, 1884:
The only permanent reliance for the
education of the masses must be
upon local taxation in the states;
every one comedies that. One dollar
voted by the people Of any school
district for the support Of common
schools is worth $40 given out by the
treasury of the United States. 1t
evinces an interest in education, and
guarantees careful and intelligent
supervision. Only local supervision
and interest will bring these
constituencies that are now SO back
ward in the race OF education abreast
with other states. In my judgment,
there could be no worse policy than
to throw in a single year into those
states $15, 600, 900 out of the national
treasury.
Don't forget the above, it is good.

Milo Page, Of San Bcrnarnino, CAL,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows:
In 1858 l was taken with bilious COL
ic, being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872, while residing in Oakland, /
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DR.. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While FRUSTRATED by q severe attack
q friend induced me to take large
dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour l was
free from pain. l followed this up
with three wine-glasses q day-oEe,
half GU hour before each meal-until
l used up the bottle.
For over seven years was perfect
ly free from bilious collie, but in the
fall of 70 / was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food ate
brought on a sharp attack. l was
far from any drug store, but I dis
patched courier eighty miles for q
bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned / was unable to
speak, but l put the bottle to my lips.
took two swallows, and in twenty
minutes the pain left me. l finished
the bottle as before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after
ward l was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try.
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
/ was cured, as before.
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 is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per.
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to n? page we will say
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
of diseases; we have not the space to
catalogue them, and perhaps il we
published them those unacQuainted
by experience with our valuable rem.
edy might doubt its efficacy still, al
SO many worthless preparations are
thrust on the market and pulled in
so many entrayagant 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 fail to take it are likely te
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 customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eighty
miles for Vinegar Bitters, and it wa.
almost q ride for life.

situations is that their survival indi-

we have good physicians by the
thousands and hospitals by the hun
dred; but there are ailments OF SO
subtle q nature, many Of which infest
special skill and care in their treat
ment. that the specialist alone-and
he must be man OF rare quaiificA-
tions-can best treat them. VI such
ailments those which have their ORR
gin in disorders of the nervous sys-
TEN are usually the most difficult to
deal with, or to treat successfully.
Their origin may be remote to the eye
of the ordinary practitioner, while to
the eye OF the specialist it may be
plainly indicated by the nature OF the
manifestations. At any rate. they
are always more or less difficult OF
treatment, requiring peculiar meth.

by policy that has favored the gold
mono.metalic standard.
In considering this resolution, /
wish to call the attention of the Con.
vention to the following points, which
in all the confusing controversy on
the silver question seems to be agreed
upon:
/. Thatsilver and gold were kept at
a nearly uniform relation Of values by
free coinage Of both metals at the
'nints Of the Latin Union and the
United States prior to 1873.
2. That the cessation of free coin
age caused the gold price of silver
bullion to sink from about $l.3O to
O.02l per ounce,
8. That II 1t had not been for the
act OF FEBRUARY Il, 1878, directing the
coinage of not less than $4,000, 0OO o.
more than $4,000. 600 silver dollars pei
month, the gold price Of silver bul
lion would have gone MUCK lower
In other words, the coinage Of thu
minimum amount of silver dollars ha'
Measurably sustained the gold price
OF silver bullion and also the price 0
property.
4. That II the act OF 1878 were re
pealed, and the coinage Of silver dol
lars were to cease. the gold price Q
silver bullion would sink from ninet,
cents to about sixty-seven cents pc
ounce. This was admitted by gol
