PAYING THE DEBT.
The importance of the change inaugura
ted in the financial policy of toe nation since
the accession of Grant's administ:ation is
scarcely appreciated by the great mass of
our people. That fifty millions have already
been paid since the 4th of March and that
Boutwell proposes to pay twelve millions
more the present month is a fact at once un
derstood and approved by all. But the
magnitude of the change from the manage
ment of the copperhead, Johnson crew to
that of the Republicans uader Grant is not
exhibited in that brief statement. Cop
perheads during last year's campaign figured
up a deficit of $175,000,000 by the first of
July 1869. Their calculations were made
on the basis of their own management of the
finances under Johnson and would probably
have been verified by experience if they
had continued in power. Grant's election
changed the order of things in Washington
and the first of July 1869 showed a reduc
tion of $43,000,000 instead of an increase of
175,000,000 as copperheads predicted. This
reduction is still going on at an increasing
ratio, though the rate of taxation for reve
nue purposes is only about half what it wa
during the first two years of Johnson's ad
ministration. What is the secret of Re
publican success in paying off the debt ?
Retrenchment and an honest collection of
the revenue. We have cut down the ex
penses of the Government, enforced the
laws, and removed dishonest or inefficient
officials until we have attained a measurable
degree of thoroughness. The result is
shown in the rapid payment of our debt.
Not only will over $60,000,000 of the debt
be paid by October first but the nation will
be saved in addition the interest on that
amount for the year making an additional
$3,000,000. Beside, the credit of the na
tion is so much enhanced that we will shortly
be able to negotiate a new loan at 41 per
cent, or perhaps less, with which to take up
our present 5-20 bonds, which will result in
an annual saving of $24,000,000. This we
will lie able to accomplish by the end of the
year. The net result of the ten months of
Republican rule may be summed us as a
saving or paying off of the national debt as
follows:
Amount paid off, if wc keep on at the
present rate, of about $9,000,000 per
month.
Ten months make SOO 000 000
Interest saved on $00,000,000, 5 400 000
Reduction by new loan 21 000 000
Total for ton months SIPJ 400 000
We can confidently pr act that tb ; end
of the year will show a reduction of thedebt
of at least $120,000,000 and perhaps $150,-
OOthOOOj against a Democratic prediction of
a deficiency of perhaps $200,000,000. Such
arc the results of the practical working of a
Republican Administration. Let them be
sustained by the votes of the people. A
few weeks hence and Pennsylvania will be
called upon to vete for State officers. Iler
verdict will Lo accepted as an approval or
condemnation of the policy of retrenchment
and reform. Let it be recorded emphatic
ally as an endorsement of the policy and the
party that is so rapidly freeing us from debt.
I'KOTECriO.N to AMERICAN LABOR.
Copperheadism in the Ilarrisburg Plat
form is afraid to say aught against protection
to American industry. Pennsylvania's well
known interest in protection led the wiser
heads of the Convention to avoid this point.
Hut the smaller fry, forgetting this prudent
course, are many of them openly opposing
protection and exposing the hypocrisy of
their leaders in ignoring the issue. De
mocracy and Copperheadism is and always
has been in league with British free-traders.
In Ohio they have openly declared against
protection and they have only refrained from
doing the saiue thing in their platform here
because they know that an honest profession
of their true principles would result in the
loss of votes. Copperheadism is, now as
ever, the enemy of the laboring poor and
would either reduce them to slavery or
grind them down to such a miserable pit
ftnoe for their labor as would scarcely
suffice to keep soul aod body together. It
is therefore perfectly consistent in them to
make the iichest man in the State their
candidate for the Governorship.
DOWH IT COMES.
The September statement of the public
debt, like all its predecessors, shows a still
further reduction. The amount is $5,600,-
000 beside $1 ] ,000,000 for paying pensions
this month. It is particularly gratifying to
be able to record this continuous and rapid
reduction of the public debt at a time, when
copperheads are raising a false cry of Re
publican extravagance. No better evidence
is needed of the integrity as well as economy
of the present Administration than this
steady reduction of the debt, with the re
duced rate of taxation. To refute the vile
calumuies of these copperhead slanderers,
wc have only to point to the public record
of our finances and the falsity of copperhead
allegations becomes so apparent, that the
most brazen faced of them must bow his
head in shame and confusion. The Repub
lican party is the party of economy and
eteryonewho wishes our debts paid will
vote the Republican ticket.
A LONG, strong pull continues to be made
by Secretary Boutwell at reducing the pub
lic debt, lie announces his intention of
buy ing twelve millions in bouds in the present
month. Such facts as these tell more for
Republicanism then all the fine promises of
copperheads. Deeds, not empty words, are
what the people appreciate.
THE Secretary of the Treasury gives no
tice that be will buy twelve million dollars
of Government bonds during the present
month. Bonds are>ow worth 120 in green- j
bucks.
A NOBLE LIFE. —On the 28th of June,
1861, at the very beginning of the late war
for the preservation of the Union, John W.
Geary was mustered into the service as a
ColoneL On the 25th of April, 1862, he
was promoted to Brigadier General, and on
the 12th of January, 1865, was made Major
General. He was wounded at Bolivar,
Cedar Mountain and Chancellorsville. To
the present day he carries rebel lead in his
body. He has been Mayor of San Francisco,
Governor of Kansas, Military Governor of
Savannah, and Governor of Pennsylvania.
He discharged the responsible duties of each
and all of these positions with honor to him
self and credit to his native State. Few
Pennsylvanians have ever made a nobler
record. The people read it with piide, and
will re-elect him in October by an over
whelming majority.— Berks and Schuylkill
Journal.
THE Democratic party inaugurated the
most iniquitous and bloody rebellion
that ever blackened the pages of history.
The Republican party put down that re
bellion and preserved the Union of our
country and the liberty of the people. Then
came the work of reconstruction. Andy
Johnson's treason obstructed and Grant was
elected to perfect the unfinished work; that
work is not yet done; every Copperhead
victory retards it and interferes with the
peace and prosperity of the country. Do
the people wish the long suspense ended,
the work of reconstruction completed? If
they do the only way is to vote the liepub
, lioan ticUot.
AN iuimen-e national debt is the legacy
of the last Democratic anniinistration and
the price of American Union and Liberty.
Copperheadism and its rebel allies now pro
pose to repudiate that debt. Thousands of
noble and patriotic men hold the bonds of
the Government and lent her their money to
save the national life. Shall that debt be
repudiated and the nation's fame bear the
foul blot of dishonesty? Such lasting in
famy can only be averted by active and
earnest support of the Republican party.
Every vote east for Packer is a vote for re
pudiation. A vote for Geary is a vote for
paying off our debt and preserving the fair
fame of our beloved country.
COPPER HEADISM proclaims itself the
friend of the laboring man. Every child
remembers that it was the advocate and up
holder of the slave power whose fundament
al principle was that capital should own la
bor. Professions like these are dirt cheap.
The people understand their design and
will not be deceived. Copperheadism is the
sworn enemy of the poor man and of free la
bor and its whole history proves it.
''BIRDS of a feather flock together" is
an old and true adage. Asa Packer in ad
miration of his rebellious spirit invited the
traitor Yailandigham to his house and en
tertained him in the darkest days of the
war; he was also the friend of the rebel and
repudiator Pendleton. What think the
gallant soldiers of Pennsylvania of such a
record ? Can they who were the blue vote
for such a man ?
, JOHN W. GEARY periled his life for his
country in two wars. Shall he be set aside
for the friend of traitors and repudiators?
\Y hat say the brave men who fought under
him in the many bloody fields of the late
rebellion? Will they repudiate their gallant
leader for one who was the bosom friend of
their mortal enemies? No never! The boys
who wore the blue will vote as they shot.
COPPERHEADS when they profess to be
the friends of the poor man should be
promptly reminded .of the fact that they
bitterly opposed the Homestead act which
gave a home to every actual settler on
government lands. The Republican party
passed the act after a desperate struggle.
Bah! the fewer friends of the copperhead
stamp that the poor man has, the better he
will be off.
THE Copperheads profess to be the poor
man's friend and then nominate for Gov
ernor a millionaire who was thrown into the
river arid nearly drowned by his own in
furiated workmen because he tried to grind
them down to starvation wages. A pretty
friend of the poor man indeed. Bah ! such
hypocrisy cannot decievc the intelligent
laborer.
MANHOOD not money should command
the respect and confidence as well as the
votes of the people. The contest in Penn
sylvania is between a brave soldier, and
honest man and an upright officer, and
Packer and his twenty millions. Will the
people worship the golden calf or vote for
the gallant soldier?
COPPERHEADS used to claim that they
were the defenders of the constitution, par
txccllencc. They now repudiate the con
con.-titution of the United States in the
lfairisburg platform. Their professed love
of the constitution was never more than a
shadow and now the shadow is gone.
THE gold gamblers of wall street have or
ganized to bull the market again by locking
up gold. They succeeded in locking up
twenty millions in a singte day. Gold has
gone up to 137 since they began their oper
ations. \Y hen shall the country be deliver
ed from the rapacity of these worse than
thieves and robbers?
SENATOR BILLINGFELT has been rc-nom
inated by the Republicans after a hard fight
with the ring. Retrenchment and Reform

Billingfelt and we rejoice in his re-nomina
tion. Let us have more of the same kind
and the reputation of Harrisburgh will be !
greatly improved by their presence.
SPAIN though freed from the despotism
of Isabella is still in a deplorable condition.
The various factions, Republicans, monarch
ist.-, Carlists, priests &c., are all plotting
against each other and bid fair to inaugu
rate a reign of terror yet, before any perma
nent form of Government is established.
IF Packer is elected the result will be as
of old an increase of debt and taxes. If
Geary is elected the present policy of redu
cing taxes and paying off the debt will be
contiaued until the debt is completely wiped
out.
LEI every tax-payer remember that half
a century of Democratic rule saddled Penn
sylvania with a debt of $40,000,0tK) and that
ten years of Republican rule paid off $20,-
000,000 of that debt aud relieved every foot
of land in the State from taxation.
THE California election has gone Demo

STATE ELECTIONS IN SEPTEMBER. —There
will lie two State elections in this month.
Vermont on the 7th elects State officers

COPPERHEADISM makes State and na
tional debts; Republicanism pays them off
by honesty and economy. Which do the
tax payers prefer as their rulers? Let them
answer at the ballot-box in October.
TIIE copperheads raise a hue and cry
agaiDst Geary because he favors temperance.
W ere they ever known to oppose one who
was fond of his whiskey?
REPUBLICANISM showed its friendship
for the poor man by freeing his house and
lot from tax and levying it on banks and
corporations.
REPUBLICANISM shows its friendship for
the laboring man by protecting him from
the competition of the pauper labor of Eu
rope.
THE news from the eastern cities reports
the ball trade as of a most promising char

POLITICAL ITEMS,
WANTED AT THIS OFFICE.—The W,*t
Chester Republican says : We arc prepared
to pay liberal prices for accurate and care
fully prepared designs of Asa Packer, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, as he
appeared in public under the following
thrilling circumstances:
Illustration No. I.—Asa Packer, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, as he
appeared previous to being immersed in the
Lehigh river, by indignant boatmen, whom
he wished to compel to work at starvation
prices, that he might accumulate a fortune
of $20,000,000! The boatmen should also be
faithfully represented, as tliey appeared
upon that memorable occasion !
Illustration No. 2.—ASA PACKER, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, as he
appeared when entering the turbulent
waters, together with the positions of the
several individuals standing on the bank,
witnessing as well as assisting him to perforin
the fearful feat!
Illustration No. 3. —ASA PACKER, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, as be
arose from beneath the waters, and what be
did there!
Illustration No. 4. —ABA PACKER, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, as he re*"
appeared on the banks of the stream in the
midst of his affectionate admirers !
The precise remarks made use of by Asa
in the four several acts of the Drama, to
gether with those of bis assistants in ihe
aquatic feat, should accompany each illustra
tion. Competitors will forward their pro
ductions with all possible dispatch, as we are
anxious to place them in the hands of the
Chairman of the Democratic County Com
mittee, as forming a series of remarkable,
soul stirring and patriotic incidents in the
life of their candidate, and at the same time
furnishing the most substantial reasons why
he should be elected Governor of the State !
P. S.—Should the above designs prove
satisfactory, we shall need others represent
ing Asa's singular removal from Carbon
county to Philadelphia, to avoid payment of
taxes 1
THE "slate" is that if Packet should be
elected, he is to appoint Bill MtMullen Sec
retary of State. Common gratitude should
dictate the appointment, for didn't Bill put
in the big licks for the $20,000,500 candidate
at Harrisburg, and didn't he htve his force
of roughs and pickpockets there to back
him up in the work ? Of course he did and
had —And why shouldn't Bill be Secretary
of State if Packer should be elected?

50 Wall street, had need of 10,000, which
they borrowed of A. Colville A Co., having
an office in the same building, hypotheca

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.
NEW CURRENCY.
The Secretary of the National Bank Note
Company and the President of the Ameri
can Bank Note Company, yesterday stated
to the Treasury officials, that by next Thurs
day they will be able to commence a daily
remittance of $187,000 in small notes, and
will be prepared by the Ist of October to
deliver the new one and two dollar notes.
Yesterday the printing division at the
Treasury Department, sent to the Treasurer
among other currency, thirty thousand dol
lars of the new fifty cent notes, the first is
sued. and on Wednesday a lot of the new
twenty'-five cent notes. The first was sent
to the Treasurer, for issue. Thirty presses
are now at work 011 the ten and fifteen cent
notes, and the remainder on tie twenty-five
and fifty cent notes. This number will sup
ply the demand, but in case of an emergen
cy other presses can be put to work on short
notice. $113,000 in fractional currency was
received at the Treasury Department this
morning, from New York.
DOING A Goon BUSINESS. The Great
Eastern steamship, for laying fhe French
Atlantic Cable, received $7,000 a month
during the time spent in doing the work,
and 1,000 shares of the Cable Company, tho
market value of which was SIOO,OOO, or
SIOO a share. The result of the recent' ex
pedition showed that the work of laving sea
cables would always be exceedingly 'hazard
ous, and that the Great Eastern possessed
great advantages over smaller vessels. The
Great Eastern will sail for India in the first
week of October, to lay the new East India
Cable in February, and will receive $250,000
in stock for her work. She is expected to
return to England in May, and will then
probably be engaged in laying the Falmouth
and Gibraltar cable.
THE BEST TIME. —The best time to court
a woman is when she is young and pretty;
the best time to ask a favor is just after a
person has been to dinner; the best time to
swap horses is before you cross a stream; the
wst time to pay your debts and addresses
is when you make them; the best time to
have anything to do with an umbrella is
when it rains (provided you can find your
own), the best time to correct an evil is when
you find it out.
_ TIIE_ Kittanoing Republican says: The
oil excitement at Parker's Landing is still
unabated. The place is filling up very rap
idly, and fast assuming the proportions of
a city. We hear of a considerable increase
in production of some of the wells, and sur
prises in this way arc said not to be an un
common occurrence. The old theory that
Armstrong county is "the great oil basin"
may yet prove not to be altogether incorrect.
A NEW FLAG.—The Austrian flag which
bore the symbol of the Holy Bormw Empire,
has been replaced since the Ist of August, by
a new Austro-Hungarian flag, composed in

Physician" is undoubtedly one of the best
that has recently made its appearance. It
contains in a condensed, but very attractive
and readable form, as much matter as is usu
ally found in similar works that retail for
$5,00, while the price charged is only $2,50.
There seems to be nothing surperfluous, and
nothing left out that ought to be iu such a
book; while to our mind, it has a decided ad
vantage over any other of its kind that has
come to our notice, in giving the several
modes of treatment, as practiced by the dif
terent schools of physician—the Allopathic,
Homeopathic, Hydropathic, Eclectic, and
Herbal—so that choice may be made of the
method that best suits one's inclination or
convenience ; or one or more methods may
frequently be combined with the best of re
sults.
We are informed that over two thousand
copies of the worr have already been sold to
subscribers in the city of Chicago, where the
author resides, and that the sale everywhere
is unparalleled.
Science Advances.
As soon as an article purporting to be of
utility has been tested, and its merits en
dorsed by public opinion, unprincipled parties
endeavor to replenish their depleted purses
; by counterfeiting, and substituting a spuriou
| for the genuine article. Some time since,
mercury, in the disguise of pills, powders, &c.,
was given for all diseases of the stomach and
liver, while quinine was freely administered
for the chills. At length HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS made its advent, and
an entire new system of healing was inaugu
rated. The beneficial effects of this valuable
preparation were at once acknowledged, and
mineral poisons suffered to sink into that ob
scurity to which an enlightened age has con
signed them. Theie have been manyspurions
Bitters palmed upon the community, which,
after trial, have been tound perfectly worth
less, while HOSTETTER'S has proved a
blessing to thousands, who owe to it their res
toration to health. For many years we have
watched the steady progress of HOSTET
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS in public es
timation, and its benificient effects as a cure
for all complaints arising from the stomach,
of a morbid nature, and we ate free to say
that it can be relied upon as a certain relief
and remedy. Its proprietors have made the
above preparation, after years of careful study
and sitting, and are now reaping the reward
claimed by this valuable specific, and which
they so richly merit. It is the only prepara
tion of the kind that is reliable in all cases,
and it therefore demands the attention of the
afflicted.

the evil in the future. Or and after the Ist day

will be only those from whom I cannot collect
present accounts. All goods will be sold at about
one-half the profit now paid by customers. The
People often complain of Bedford prices being
higher than elsewhere, and doubtlese true to some
extent, and for the reason that good customers
have had to pay for others goods, with an addi

community sustain me in this enterprise and they
will save ten to fifteen per cent on everything
they consume. 14may3m H. F. IRVINE.

GOLD LOAN.
$0,500,000.
We beg leave to announce that we have accept
ed the agency of the
KANSAS PACIFIC RAILWAY CO.,
For the sale of its
New Seven Per Cent.
Thirty J air Gold Loan, Free from Tax.
This Loan amounts to $5,500,000.
First Mortgage Land-Grant and Sinking
Fund Bonds,
secured upon the extent ion of the Railway from
near Sheridan, in Kansas, to Denver, Colorado, a
distance ot 2.17 miles, of which 12 utiles are com
pleted, and the rest is under construction. It is
also a Mortgage upon the Road, the Rolling Stock
and Franchise of this Brst-ciass Railway, besides
new running through the State of Kansas,
And in successful operation (or 437 miles
west of the Missouri River, and earning already
enough to meet all of its expenses and existing
obligations, besides
More than the Interrst upon this new Lr,an.
In addition to this the Bonds are also secured by
a first mortgage of the
Government Laud Grant of Three Mil
lion Acres,
extending in alternate sections on either side of
the track, from the 394 th mile post in Kansas to
Denver. The proceeds of the sale of these Sands
are to be invested by the Trustees in the 7 per
cent Bonds themselves up to 120 or in U.S. bonds,
as
A Sinking Fund for the Redemption of the
Bonds.
The lands embrace some of the finest portions
of the magnificent Territory of Colorado, inclu
ding a coal field and pinery. The company also
holds as an asset another tract of
Three Millions of Acres in the State of
Kansas,
and although not pledged as a security for this
Loan, their possession adds largely to the Com
pany's wealth and credit. We estimate the
Value of the Company's property, covered
by this mortgage, at $23,000,000 net,
tchile the Loan is merely
$6,500,000.
The bonds have
Thirty Years to Run,
from May 1, 1869, and will pay
Seven per cent. Interest in Gold,
semi-annually, on May 1 and Nov. 1, ani are
Free from Government Taxation,
the Company paying the tax.
The PRINCIPAL of the loan ie made PAYABLE in
GOLD, in the City of New York, but each coupon
will be
Payable in Frankfort, London or Xeic York
at the option of the holder, without notice, at the
following rates.
On SI,OOO Bond in N. Y., $35 (gold)each halfyear

" " Frankfort 87 fir. 30 krtzs., •*
The Agents of the Loan, before accepting the
trust bad the condition of the Road, and the coun
try through which it runs, carefully examined.
They are happy to give the Loan an emphatic
endorsement as a
First Class Investment,
in every respect perfectly sure, and in some essen
tial even
Better than Government Securities.
The Bonds will be sold forthe present at
96, and accrued Interest, both in Currency,
the Agents reserving the right to advance the rate.
The attention of investors is invited to these
well-secured bonds, which we recommend as one
of the most profitable investments in the market-
Gold and Government. Securities taken in pay
ment at their market value, without commissions.
