Congressman Lacey, Of the 9th Ia.
District, is reported to have present
ed two important bills, both of which
should become laws. The most i'm
portant one provides for the issue Of
treasury notes to take the place Of
national bank notes as fast as they
are for any cause withdrawn from
circulation. Its effect will be to
maintain an uniform amount of mon
ey in circulation, the means Of main
tanning prices without the fluctua-
tions that follow an irregular supply
OF money.
The other provides Ihsk the gov
eminent may become the owner OF
any patent right by paying the pat
entee or assignee not less than $780,
600, nor more than 100000 therefor.
This sum would be decomposition
and vastly more than the Inventor of
valuable patent generally receives
for his invention. The money on
patents Is generally made by some
shark without inventive genius, but
is able to provide the genius who has
with the means of subsistence while
perfecting his invention. Its advant-
age to the country would be in CIV
ing the people the right to use all
such patents without danger or cost
as are universally useful and which
are used by their assignees to build
up and maintain burdensome monop-
olies. In France, all valuable patents
become the property Of the govern.
ment and the right of the public.

Would John Sherman vote for such

WOuIu JOnn SHERMAN wore TOT sucn
an insignificant rate upon wool?
Allison voted for the tariff rates
upon the products raised by the Iowa
farmers, not imported hardly once in
ten years, on potatoes IS per cent;
hay 2Ot per cent; barley 10. per cent;
and peas 10 per cent.
What il the tariff upon these last
named products for? Are the saw
mill owners and farmers Of Iowa so
weak minded that they are satisfied
I'm one case to derive a small benefit
by the tariff. in the other not to re-
ceive anything.
Are the farmers contented to sell
oats for Is cents bushel and buy
rice at $500 a bushel?
Is it not the farmers OF Iowa that
need protection against the benefici-
aries Of the tariff.
II the people of this State could
vote for Senator would they not re-
tire the national-tariff-tr candi-
date as they did the private trust
seeker after gubernatorial honors?
What is the matter with Allison?
Is it long association with the
wealthy Senators that to curry their
favor he thus exhibits his contempt
for the people Of Iowa?
Is he pecuniarily interested in vot-
ing as he has?
Or is it that he is impotent in con
tending with the naughty Southerner
and willy Eastern tariff leaders, and
that he is as Senator Ingalls, repre-
sents him to be when he said ALI
son has no more backbone than a
dish-rag, but still we love him.
Ingalls, ought to know, there is no
disputing that fact.
Will the member of the legislature
irrespective of party unite and send
a man to the Senate of the Weaver

Milo Page, of San Bernarnino, CAL,
on Sept. I, 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 DIR. pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While FRUSTRATED by q severe attack
q friend induced me to take a large
dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour was
free from pain. l followed this up
with three wine-glasses day-oEa,
half au hour before each meal-until
| used up the bottle.
For over seven years | was perfect
ly free from bilious collie, but in the
fall Of 20 / was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food | ate
brought on q sharp attack. was
far from any drug store, but dis
patched courier eighty miles for
bottle of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but 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 | was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
| was cured, rs before.
write this because you do not es-
pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters
for bilious collie. Only those who
nave suffered the agonies of this dis
ease, can understand what q boon a
sure cure is, 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 cur valuable rem
edy might doubt its efficacy still, ~
SO many worthless preparations are
thrust on the market and pulled in
so many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
they are young or old. Those who
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
looking, and when we once
gain q customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eighty
miles for Vinegar Bitters, and it wa
almost ride for life.
The New Style Vinegar Bitters is u

Taxation Of Mortgage DEBTS.

The burden of mortgage debts
coupled with the low price Of farm
products is waking the public to the
injustice Of loading the Bonded back
of labor with not only its own taxes,
but with the taxes of the mortgage
creditors likewise.
Petitions are being numerouSly
signed by the people in all parts Of
Iowa praying the Legislature of our
state for law that will force the
money loaner to pay the taxes on his
mortgages on the farms and home
steads of Iowa. as represented by his
mortgage claim.
The tiller Of the soil often loses
crop. but the mortgage continues to
draw like blister, the mortgage
harvesting his crop Of interest annu-
ally. even at the sacrifice Of the farm.
Edward Atkinson. the hard money
statistician Of the united monopolies
Of the east prepared a statement for
the money lenders setting forth the
mortgage debts of Iowa at$567, 600. 900
1t is claimed by many that it is not
more than half as much. Very well.
Ats per cent, the annual harvest Of
the mortgage holders taken from the
producers and farmers OF Iowa is
yer sss, Ooo, 600.
In addition to this annual interest
burden, the producers Of the state
are taxed upon their farms precisely
as if there existed no mortgage
against them. while the money rep
resented in the mortgage in ninety
nine cases out of hundred escapes
taxes of all kinds.
Imposing this burden upon the
debtors Of the state is an injustice
which legislation should provide a
remedy for.
The PLAIN DEALER more than five
years ago advocated this doctrine,
and it has seen no valid reason why
it is not just and right; and il it is, it
should prevail. The fear that money
lenders will withdraw their money
from the state if it is taxed is hardly
worthy of consideration, because
when any man demands more than
can be consistently granted is exactly
the time when demand for what is
right should be made. Millions for
defence, but not one cent for tribute"
is the motto that our Legislators
should elevate where it will catch the
money lenders vision.
The farm that is mortgaged one
half of its value or in any other pro.
portion should be taxed to the mort
gagor only to the extent Of his own
ership. And if the mortgagor has
paid the taxes on its full valuation.
then the proportion that should have
been paid by the holder of the mort
gage should be credited upon the
mortgage debt as of the date Of its
payment. No mortgage debt should
be permitted to be foreclOed in court
unless it bear evidence Of having been
annually assessed for taxation the
same as other property.
And when the mortgage has put
himself in position to proceed, by
having paid his taxes upon his mort.
gage debt. state, county, municipal,
road and school, proceedings thereon
should terminate in some such
manner as recommended by the
knights of Labor at the recent an
nual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, in
November last. We shall give the
plan it recommends for the "Reliei
of Mortgage Debtors" and ask for il
the careful perusal, thoughtful at
tention and candid criticism Of oul
readers.
