ceived $500, ,000, 600 at one fell swoop,
and 100000 forty-acre tracts present
ed to the bondholders in that one deal
Since that time they have received
bonuses in the way of increased value
of their bonds, prepayment of interest,
etc. to fully as much again, but We will
not take that into consideration.
The average amount of national
bank notes in circulation during the
past thirty years has been about $780,
100000. These have been loaned at an
average rate of not less than eight per
cent. The government gave them to
the bankers for one per cent. TIE
banks had bonus of the difference,
or seven per cent. In one year this
would amount to $4,000, ,000 For thir-
ty years it would amount to S420,0 ,000,-
600. At 5000 valuation for the afore-
said forty acres and a mule" it would
be equivalent to 100000 forty-acre
tracts of land and 2,10O, 900 mules. We
shall not go into details of what has
been done for other corporations,
trusts and syndicates, and what it
would amount to in forty-acre tracts
and mules. 1t is sufficient to say that
enough has been given away to make
present to every head OF a family in
the United States the value of forty
acres and mule"
Let us recapitulate.

roads have received ...... 1912, ,492

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-05-30

The old man who looks out at the world
with clear and healthy eyes cannot help
feeling great qualification at the thought
that his children have inherited from him
no weakness nor tendency to disease. The
healthy old man is the man who has
throughout his life kept his digestion good
and his blood pure. Not one in thousand
does do it. Germs go through the healthy
body without effect. Let them once find
Judgement or let them hnd weak spot,
they will develop by the million and the
blood will be full of them. Instead of
giving strength to the tissues, it will force
upon them innutritious matter, and the
man will lose flesh and the more suscep-
tble he is to disease. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the only medicine
that absolutely and infallibly cures all
blood diseases, and almost all diseases are
blood diseases. 1t isn't medicine for
some one particular so-called disease. 1t is
a medicine for the whole body. 1t forces
out all the germs Of disease, and replaces
with rich, red blood.

stomach. Frequently he doesn't even
know whether the thing he eats is going
to agree with him or not. The things that
please his palate most are often the worst
for him to eat. Even the simplest food is
likely to cause him misery and slcepless-
ness. His first trouble was very slight
very simple-very easy to cure. He ate
something indigestible and it stuck some
place in his digestive system. He ate more
things and they stuck. Part of his digcs-
ton stopped altogether-that is constipa-
ton.
Constipation is SO common that more
than half the people in America are troub
led with it. 1t is SO serious that nine
tenths of the sickness of the world is
traceable directly to this common cause.
A mans health and strength depend upon
what he gets out of his food. This depends
on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-
ton. Anybody can see that The COM
monest kind of common sense will tell
you that When digestion stops, nutrition
stops, and the whole body is thrown out
of order.
The way to start digestion is to remove
the obstruction. The way to do that is to
take DR.. Picrce's Pleasant Pellets. They
are a positive cure for constipation and
its attendant ills - headaches, sour stom-
ach flatulence, dizziness, biliousness and
heartburn. They are very gentle in
thelr action. lhey simply assist nature.
They give no violent wrench to the system.
They cause no pain, nor gripping, nor dis
comfort of any kind

But when he entered the city, he uazed
about him at the tall buildings and the
wonderful signs of improvement, and lie

A special car was put on the Decatur
accommodation yesterday to bring par
ties, free of charge, who desired to hear
Palmer and Buckner speak in this CITY,
Twenty-six accepted the kindness from
Decatur and six along the way.
The Louisville and Nashville shops shut
down from IL o'clock until 2 o'clock in or
der to let the employees hear Palmer and
Buckner.
Weber's band, as usual, furnished ex-
cellent music yesterday.
A large number of citizens of all pollti-
cal parties called on the candidates in the
parlors of the Morris hotel prior to the
speaking.
A large number of railroad employees
were noted in the audience.
1t is said that General Buckner brought
along with him jug of buttermilk. The
general meant no reflection, as he had to
pass through General Wheeler's district.
The crowd in the opera house was esti-
mated all the way from 100 to 1000. There
were visitors from Admission, Decatur,
Montgomery, Talladega, Jasper, Russell
vile, Besse1ner, and there were several
also from Birmingham.
Several members of the Grand Army of
the Republic called on Generals Palmer
and Buckner at the Morris.
The following delegates came up from
Montgomery to escort the candidates to
that city: Hon. 7. Fl. Clark Hon. w. P.

When about fifteen months since w. j.
BRYAN, a private citizen of the United
States, came to Birmingham to discuss
the financial question, between 5000 and
5000 people hurried through rain and
storm, crowded into the wigwam and sat
there for hours under most disagreeable
conditions of weather, to listen to the eio-
ouent Nebraskan, while nearly as many
more were turned away from the doors
of the auditorium for want of standing
room inside Yesterday the opera house
was comfortably filled with those who
went to hear the presidential and vice
presidential candidates of the republican
aid society; and 1t is safe to say that
four-fifths of those present were demo-
Gratis and supporters of Bryan and
SewaU. The reason for the difference in
the size of the respective audiences is
plain. Mr. Bryan spoke in the interest Of
the people, for democracy, for the cause
of humanity, and for America, while Pal
mer and Buckner came as the representa-
tives of plutocracy, were the mouthpieces
Of the republican party and the trusts,
