Milo Page, of San Bernarnino, CAL,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows:
In 1858 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 DIR. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While FRUSTRATED by a severe attack
q friend induced me to take q large
dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour was
free from pain. / followed this up
with three wine-glasses q day-oEe.
half au hour before each meal-until
l used up the bottle.
For over seven years was perfect
~ free from bilious collie, but in the
fall of 70 was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food | ate
brought on sharp attack. was
far from any drug store, but l dis
patched courier eighty miles for q
bottle Of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but l put the bottle tony 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.

dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try.

pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters
tor bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonfes of this dis
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
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 tc
catalogue them, and perhaps il We
published them those unacquainted
by experience with our valuable rem
edy might doubt its efficacy still, a.
SO many worthless preparations ar.
thrust on the market and pulled in
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed te
TAKE vinegar DUETS LOT any lelRtl
of time, are hale and hearty, whether
they are young or old. Those who
doubt and fail to take 1t are likely te
fall into all manner of ailments, great
and small. Vinegar Bitters, both Ole
and New Styles, keep those who take
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when we once
gain u customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eighty
miles for Vinegar Bitters, and it wa.
almost \ ride for life.

What Cresco K. Of L. Demand.

WHEREAS, There is general belief
that legislation has been q potent
factor in preventing the producers Of
our country from obtaining . just
share Of the wealth they create, and
that it has enabled moneyed men to
claim and appropriate the Lions
share Of all that is produced; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is asserted and believ-
ed that the farms and homes Of our
people are already 80 heavily mort
gagged, that, under present laws, and
present prices, payment is impossi-
ble, and that in the near future q
majority Of the American people
must become homeless, and entirely
dependent; and
WHEREAS, More exact knowledge
of the truth of this matter Is OF the
utmost Importance to the end that
our law makers, as well as our people
in the study Of the great economic
questions involved, may have the
truth; and
WHEREAS, Poverty is the fruitful
parent Of all manner Of crime and
illiteracy; and
WHEREAS, The growth and perpe-
tuity Of our Republic rests upon the
education and incidental moral de-
velopment Of the youth OF our coun-
try; therefore, be It
RESOLVED, BY Fidelity Assembly,
No. 4343 Knights Of Labor, in regular
session convened in Cresco, Iowa,
That the next census Of the United
States should show what percentage
OF the people Of the United States
occupy their own homes, and what
proportion are tenants: and Of those
who occupy their own farms and
homes; what proportion have their
property free from debt, and what
proportion Of these are encountered
by mortgage and to what extent.
RESOLVED, That to promote the
general welfare, to insure domestic
tranquility and to provide for the
common defence Of the rights and
liberties of the great army Of wealth
producers in America, the present
session Of congress should provide fol
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. That certificates based upon
coin deposited in the treasury Of the
United States should be made a full
legal tender; that the national bank
ing system should be abolished; that
treasury notes, made full legal ten
der for all debts public and private
should be issued in lieu Of the note,
the national banks, in volume suffic
lent to do the business of the countr,
on a cash basis; to prohibit trusts

In Lieu Of q Bankrupt Law.

In Lieu Of q Bankrupt Law.
The executive and legislative de-
partments OF Federal Government
recognize the necessity Of o general
bankrupt law, and ARE already dis
cussing one, the main features OF
which will be the discharge OF the
debtor from his debts on the sur
render of his property to his.creditors.
In the past history OF the country
three such bills have become laws:
the first in 1900. the next in 1S4l, and
the last in 1867. Under their opera
ton. thousands of thousands OF men
unfortunate in business, surrendered
their property, adding their NUMBER
to the great army Of unemployed,
and during the eleven years OF the
act of 1867, helping to make up the
million and a half Of tramps that
roamed the land in search OF labor.
The creditor class under the opera
ton Of these statutes at various times
lost more than 1,O0O, 900, 900 OF dollars,
which was mercilessly swept into the
Golfers OF men who stood ready to
rob creditors by bidding in the effects
OF unfortunate debtors, greatly below
their value.
The knights of Labor equally with
the executive and the congress OF the
United States, recognize the neces-
sity Of relief to the debtor class, at
the same time recognizing the justice
and equity of the creditor.
Keeping in view the suggestions OF
this article. we ask the intelligent,
thoughtful reader to carefully read,
and thoroughly consider the report
OF the committee for the Relief Of
Mortgage Debtors" adopted at the
Atlanta session af the Knights Of La
Dor, and published in this issue Of the
PLAIN DEALER.
Its advantage over the usual bank
rupt law is that it pays the creditor
the full amount of his claim without
compelling the mortgagor to join the
rapidly increasing host OF homeless
tramps. 1t leaves the debtor in pos
session of his property and home,
with a mortgage debt running twen-
ty years, payable in annual install
ments at low rate OF interest.
The addition to the circulating me-
dunn of the country by this means
Of payment would increase the price
of products Of the farm and Of labor
SO that the payment of the debt
would be an easy matter.
The government owes this to the
debtor class, because by continual
contraction and boarding the money
which it should have kept in circula-
ton, it has depressed the price OF
lands and of every species of property
thereby causing the embarrassed con.
dition OF the debtor class The gov.
eminent has for the past thirty years
been loaning between three and -four
hundred million dollars to the nation
al banks at less than one per cent,
exempting the money loaned then
and the security they gave for its use
from all manner of taxation. The
security the farmers can give is a,
adequate as was that of the banker
the interest they will pay is as much
and they do not demand that other
should pay their taxes.

dom loving middle classes Of our be-
loved country are ra pidly sinking
into hopeless serfdom.
Fourth.-In the opinion Of your
committee the means Of relief should
be direct and immediate; not in the
nature Of reputation, but through
means and methods considered hon.
orable and legitimate in orthodox
business circles. We offerno general
panacea for all the evils that affiict
communities, but, for the case in
hand. we believe law substantially
as follows would afford relief:
MEANS OF RELIRF.
Be it enacted by the American Con-
gress, &C.,
That, on and after the first day of
July, 1890, it shall not be lawful to
collect debts that are secured by
mortgage on real estate by the usual
methods Of foreclosure under the
laws of the several states; but the
method of procedure and collection
shall be as follows:
/. The creditor holding the mort
gage shall proceed in person or by at
torney or lawful representative, to
the Office OF the register Of deeds,
where the mortgage is recorded, and
there procure correct abstract Of
title Of the estate held by his mort
gage including the incumbrance Gre
ated by his claim or debt. The regis
ter Of deeds shall certify to the cor
rectness of the said abstract, and at.
tach his signature. Thecounty clerk
of said county clerk of said county
shall also examene and certify to the
correctness of the said abstract
and attach his seal and signature
Provided, after examination, the
property is found to be worth the full
amount of the mortgage.
2. 1t seall then be the duty Of the
creditor to proceed to the county
treasurer's Office, where the said alb
stract shall be placed permanently OF
file for future reference.
3, On the presentation of the sale
certified abstract in the county treas
urers Office, it shall be the duty o
the said county treasurer to issue il
aus form, on blanks prepared for tn
purpose, q draft for the amount of tn
mortgage debt. including interest AM
official fees to date, on the treasure
| of the United Sites. Said draft shal
be examined by the county clerk, an
certified as correct. by his official sea
and signature. Said draft will the
be due and payable by tbs treasure
OF the United States, on demand 9
any lawful holder of the same. Sal
draft must contain an accurate de
scription and location Of the estat
. mentioned in the abstract; and tn
, amount OF the draft shall be charge
up against the said estate, creating
lawful lien on the same. The debto
shall now be allowed twenty years O
the debt, by paying interest prompt
| " on the same selni-annually, at tn
rate of one per cent per annum; tina
being the terms allowed to nations
. bankers during the past twenty-fiv
wears. The record of the mortgag
). shall be marked, Settled by tn
. United States government"
4. The procedure, herein set fort
shall be the only lawful way for co
lecting mortgage debts until the a.
, esegate circulation of lawful none

These amounts have been criticised
and vehemently disputed by interest
ed parties, on the one side, and par
TALLY verified on the other. Striking
out one half of each one to cover err
rors and silence criticism, we still find
the most frightful figures and con
ditions confronting us. As fruitage
OF these conditions the mortgage
debtors in many places, are unable
longer to pay the interest on loans,
and are utterly without hope OF ever
being able to pay the principal.
Second.-In the midst of this pres
ent aud approaching distress We fur
Their find. that; through the manipu-
lations of this finances, the country is
every where afflicted with falling
prices Of the products Of land and la
Dor which, must be sold to meet mon
etary obligations. Senator Plumb,
president Of d national bank, in his
place in the United States Senate,
March 2G, 1888, stated that the money
of the country had been contracted,
during the past three years, five per
cent of its volume, which had lower.
ed the prices of property in this coun.
try three billions Of dollars; produc-
ing, said the Senator, a state OF
things favorable to loaners but very
unfayorable to debtors. Almost un.
limited testimony OF the highest or
der may be produced to sustain the
Senator's statement concerning the
rapid and continuous depreciation Of
the prices of property inthis country.
Governor Foraker of Ohio, in his last
inaugural message, states that farlu
property in Ohio had fallen in value
from twenty-five to fifty per cent
since 1850.
Third. In addition to the mortgage
indebtedness of the country. the in.
yoIyed and helpless debtors IRE load
ed with increasing billions OF Nation
al, State and municipal debts; and
also. fabulous sunls Of corporate
capitalization, OH Winch interest and
dividends are expected. We are thug
confronted with all the dangers Of

BEN BUTLER's FINAL ARGUMENT.
His Client Pound Guilty in what the
General Saws Ii His Last Case.

BosToS, Dec Especial. IAN inter-
esting incident i'm connection with the case
of the United States VS.. Carrie E. Johnson,
which was given to the jury in the district
court this afternoon, was the statement
of General Butler in the course of
his argument for the defense !. that
this was the last criminal case
he would ever try. The woman
is charged with an attempt to
defraud the pension Office by swearing that
Johnson, deceased soldier, was her first
husband, ignoring marriage contracted
many years ago to man named Stevens,
who is now living in Vermont, and
from whom she has never been divorced.
The defense was that. being but II years
old at the time, the laws of Vermont rem
dered the marriage ceremony void.
General Butler made the closing argu-
ment for the defense this morning. 1t is
somewhat of a blow to the sentimentalist
to learn that the verdict was that the
woman was guilty, and that the old hero
had lost his last criminal case.
