GENTLEMEN: After q course of treat.
ment at your institute 1 take pleasure
in recommending it to those who suffer
from that awful disease, catarrh. /
have experienced some trouble with my
throat and nose for several years but
not until within the last eighteen
months did the disease become fully
developed. | tried several physicians
with fruitless results, other than a
probable stay of the disease. l had
noticed your advertise ments from time
to time, but in common with others, set
1t down as a quack.
During the month of February last,
the disease reached such a stage that
there was but little rest for nae day or
night, especially at night, and being
anxious to find relief from some source,
decided to give your treatment an hon
est trial. During the first month it was
a question as to what would be the
result. At last healing process began
which gradually continued until now
feel that am entirely cured OF the dis
ease. To those suffering with catarrh
heartily recommend your treatm ent,
even in the worst stages the patient
may 1851 asSureu Oh muCn dement, ana II
persistently followed may expect per-
manent cure. In conclusion I wish to
say that did your institution q great
injustice in founding an opinion before
investigating, and feel that we should
ever be upon our guard not to permit
prejudice to condemn that which our
better judgment may afterward accept.
Wishing you the success which the
merits OF your treatment Justly de.
serves. Most gratefully,

After Descent.
CHICAGO, July 10.-A wind storm of ter
rifle force, followed by heavy downpour
of rain, passed over the White City last
evening, doing considerable damage to the
different buildings and to the EXHIBITS
stored therein.
When the storm burst 10 900 people were
grouped about the pavilion to the east of
Manufactures building enjoying the
music. They hastily rushed for the shell
ter of the big building and entered the
doors in much disorder. The guards, after
admitting the crowds, endeavored to close
the doors, but the force of the wind shut
the doors with such violence that the glass
III three big entrances was shattered into
fragments. There was much confusion,
but, as the blow lasted but ten minutes,
the people soon became calm.
The same scene occurred in all the build
1ngs on the ground. The Rev. Dr. Jenkin
Lloyd Jones delivered splendid sermon
during the afternoon at Festival hall and
drew a lesson in burning words for his
hearers from the glowing beauties of the
fair.
The persons who were aloft in the cap.
rive balloon he'd a close call, and the bal
loon ITSELF after being brought to earth,
was blown into pieces and carried out of
the grounds. Aeronaut Allyr noticed
away over the smoke of the city IL black
moving body, and signaled the lookout to
draw in rapidly. AS the basket touched
the ground the passengers were let out,
and as the last anchor was made fast the
wind struck the balloon and blew it to
ribbons.
Thirty years ago yesterday the Argen-
tine Republic became an independent ma.
ton, and the Worlds fair commissioner
from that country, Mr.. Carlos r. Gal
lardo, opened the Argentine sections in

The Demand Notes.
MR.. EDITOR:

MIR. EDITOR:
| see that Mr.. Donnelly has errone-
ously called the first sixty millions of
paper issued by Secretary Chase,
"greenbacks." They were no more
nor less than TREASURY notes, which
had at least twelve presidents for
their creation in the prior history of
the United States treasury! It is a
we'll known fact that Mr.. Lincoln
found the treasury empty when he
came into power, and that Secretary
Chase found war on his hands and
no money with which to wage it. He
found that Hamilton, Galatin, and
other secretaries had issued treasury
demand notes to bridge over shortag-
es. and he at once commenced the is
sue and paid out between March 4
and July 4, 1861, several millions,
when congress convened in extra ses-
sion and authorized Mr.. Chase to is
sue 100000 and by a subsequent
act this authority was extended to
500, 100000.
These demand notes were redeema-
bic in gold at the treasury of the
United States, but we're not legal
tender at first, and in December.
1861, touched 10 per cent discount in
the banks at St. Louis, as the treasu-
ry was without gold, and hence could
not redeem.
On March IA, 1862, congress made
the demand notes legal tender, and,
as there was no Except for interest
on the public debt and payment of
CUSTOMS" the demand note at once
rose to par, and never sank below it
during the war. In fact these notes
were sometimes at premium of two
per cent, when used in place of
silver.
If the Chroricle thinks fiat no good
why did these discredited notes at
once appreciate ten per cent when
made legal tender?
The demand note differed from the
greenback only in the exception
clause above quoted. Both were
treasury notes. both redeemable, and
both issued by the same authority:
but one was legal tender for all debts
while the other could not pay inter-
est on the public debt, nor duties at
the custom house. There was no in
trinsic value to either; yet one dollar
of demand notes would buy at one
time, 1888 of greenbacks, simply be-
cause the demand note was perfect
money for all purposes, and the 9TH
er for limited purposes.
1t was this restricted use of the
greenback which deprecated it, and

But if the republican party was in

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Like Lincoln he FOreSaw the Dan
ger of Corporate Power.

Mr.. EDITOR:
AS am receiving quite few news
papers of different character and OBJ
serving how events have been shaped
for the past few years, have thought
of George Washington's Farewell Adj
dress, in which he says:
''However combinations or associa-
tions Of the above description may
now and then answer popular needs,
they are likely in the course of time
and things to become potent engines
by which cunning, ambitious, and I'M
principled men will be enabled to
Subvert the power OF the people, and
to usurp for themselves the reins of
government, destroying afterwards
the very engines which have lifted
them into unjust dominion"
He knew that the combinations
would come, but if he lived to-day he
would see that land he fought for,
that land he took from under the
yoke of England and brought to lib
erty,-the great nation he founded
overcome with this disease. He said:
THE basis Of our political system is
the rights of the people," He knew
that the rights of the people would
be invaded by these monopolies: he
warned those men who should come
to take his place in after days, of this
coming epidemic of usurpatiOn, but
the WARNING voice of this great man
has not been heard, and the men we
are looking toward to protect our
rights,-the men the people of Amer
lea have put in place of Geo. Wash
ington and his cabinet, they are not
representing the people, but the
rings, the monopolies, the combina-
tions, the brotherhood of usurers,-

the days of slavery? The owner of
the slaves took better care of them
because it was their own property,
