Facts fur Tax .'avers.
Tho main Issues in our State campaign
are tho excessive expenditures of thcopposi-
tlon, and tho corruption of their leaders. In
times like- theso when our industries aro par
alyzed, labor either unemployed or scantily
nald. and Is only to bo had at ruinous rates.
Itlinhnnves everv man to Inquire into tho
catio oftliis distress and so far as ho can,
apply tho remedy. This ho should do in
self defence, even if ho is compelled to vote
neainst candidates selected by his own party
"Self preservation is the first law of nature,"
and no man should remain in n party after
it has become corrupt, nor should ho support

No Democratic Congress over voted to
increaso the Presidents salary from S23.000
to $50,000. No Democratic Legislatnro ever
voted to increase tho (Jovernor's salary from
$5,000 to $10,000. In fact tho official records
show that from March 4tU 1789 when Wash
ington was inaugurated to Juno 30, 18G1 the
expenses of national Government, including
the war of 1812 and that with Mexico were
$1,700,000,000, whilst fivo years of Radical
rule, from Juno 30tli.lSG5 to Juno 30th, 1S70
were $1,857,000,000, or $157,(100,000 more.
The Internal Revcnuo Bureau during its ten
years exi3tenco collected directly from the
peoplo $l,947,000,000,or $247,000,000, more
than the entire expense of Oovcrment from

Flattened Out.
Tho Hon. Edward McWierson, who started
out early in tho present campaign with a set
speech, in which he devoted much time to
personal abuse and vile calumnies of Judge
Tershing, has been "flattened out, " The
Philadelphia Times has shown undeniably
that tho statements of this man concerning
the record of our candidate for Governor are
unblushing falsehoods. Although put in
this position ho has not the manliness to
openly acknowledge that ho lias basely mis
represented an honest and upright gentle
man, and make a retraction, but tacitly ad
mits himself a falsifier by omitting from all
his subsequent speeches that portion which
called forth tho wrath of tho Timet, and of
every respectable citizen. Thus one after
another are tho cannons of the opposition
spiked, and lino by line is the evidence in
favor of tho Democratic candidates increas

Tho gentleman above named has our
warmest sympathies. Of course.tlie Itepub
lican Party must keep up their organization,
and to do this, must each year set up a
target to bo knocked down to tho tune of a
largo Democratic Majority. As there is not,
and never was a possibility of electing their
candidate, the old stagers havo got tired of
footing tho bills necessarily incurred in the
campaign, to this year they havo lit on a
poor, innocent young man, in whom there is
no guile, and on tho 14th inst, tho senatorial
conference honored (?) him with tho above
nomination. Poor William 1 It will cost you
only a few fat steers, and after tho election

Naval Expenses.
In 18GS tho expenses of tho Navy wero
$10,000,000; in 1873 were $22,000,000, an
increase of $G,000,000. It is notorious that
our Navy is in a worse condition than over
before and entirely unfit for actual use. The
few vessels fit for service aro used by Grant,
his Cabinet and dependents, to go on
junkctingexpeditions, clambakes, aud yacht
rceattas. Occasionally, also, our war ves
sels, stores and seamen aro loaned to specu
lators liko Uabcock to go to San Domingo,
or to an adventurer liko Steinbcrger for tho
purpose of plundering tho Samoaus, Of
course Grant, as usual, will share in the
plunder.

How Democracy is I'luwrisnixn. The
llarrisburg Patriot says: The resistless
march of tho Democratic party to tho pos
session of tho government of ttio country Is
portrayed in tho following eloquent figures.
In 1870 there wero only four Democratic
State Legislatures. In 1375 thoro aro twenty-five
Democratic Legislatures. The
Democrats aro thus seen to havo gained
political control of nearly two-thirds of tho
States of tho Union. In 1870 thcro were
ninety Democratic members of tho House
of Representatives of tho United States. In
1S75 when Congress meets in December,
there will be one hundred and eighty mem
bers of that body. In 1870 thero were
twelvo Democratic members of tho Senate
of tho United States. In 1875 thero aro
twenty-eight Democratic Senators.
Tho mighty revolution indicated by theso
expressive figures is moving forward to com
plete accomplishment. In Pennsylvania tho
Democrats havo rescued ono branch of the
Legislature and.two important departments
of tho Stato Government from Itepublican
rule' The election of November will close
tho beneficent work by bringing tho whole
government of the Stato uudor Democratic
control.
The Greenback Depreciated by a Itepublican
Congress.
Tho greenback of tho war coutained a
promiso and a contract as follows:
"This note is legal tender for all debts, pub
lic and private, except duties on import and
interest on the public debt, and is exchange
able for United States six per cent, twenty
year bonds, redeemable at the pleasure o the
United Slates after ice years."
This contract and promiso held tho green
back equal to tho bond, being interconverti
ble with it. In 1804 this convertibility was
destroyed, else tho greenback to-day would
be equal to the interest bonds, which aro six
per cent, better than gold. On this point
Chief Justice Chase delivered an opinion
from which wo quote:
"The best support for note circulation is not
limitation, but reccivability, especially for
loans bearing coin interest. It is plain
that a currency so supported cannot depre
ciate more than tho loans, .In other words,
below the general credit of tho country. It
will rise or fall with it. At the present mo
ment, if the notes wero received for five per
cent, bonds, they would be at par. in otuer
words, specie payments would bo resumed."

The coming man has como, and his name
is Zack. Chaudler. The great Grant lias at
last found his man. and this western states
man whom the Itepublican Party of Michi
gan threw overboard and refused to return
to Washington as United States (senator, is
to bo Secretary of tho Interior, the successor
of tho much lamented and highly recommen
ded Delano. This blood and thunder gentle
man has at least ouo qualification for a
position in tho cabinet of his beloved chief,
to wit : A fondness for alcoholic beverages.

MR.BUCK ALEWAT BLOOMSBURG
Mr. Uuckalcw addressed a meeting nt tho
Opera House, Illoomsburg, on Saturday
evening last, (October 16th.) From notes
taken by Prof. S. N. Walker, Court Report
er, wo aro ablo to furnish a part of tho
speech, as follows i
Ol'.NTI.r.Ml'.N : Tho Democratic party of
Pennsylvania has presented to in, for our
support, candidates who are most fit nnd
worthy, in our judgment, for tho places for
which they havo been named. Our nomi
nating convention nt Krlo was peculiarly
fortunato in its selection of a candldato for
Governor, regard being had to his character
nnd to his past career; for, In private life,
In professional life ns a member of tho
bar, in political life as n member of the
Legislature, and. moro recently, in judicial
crvlco In tho adjoining county of Schuyl
kill, ho lias shown himself, ho has proved
himself, to bo n most deserving, rcllablc.ablo
and true man ; nnd I supposo that when this
can bo said with truth of a candldato even
for tho highest ofiico In our State, (that of
Govcrnor,)all has been said that is necessary,
save only that he shall agreo witli us in
opinion upon party questions nnd upon pub
lic affairs.
The gentleman who has been nominated
for the second office to bo filled by tho peo
plo this year, (I mean tho olllco of Stnto
Treasurer,) is still better known to us; and,
although there may bo thoso who will criti
cise Col. Piollct for tills, that, or tho other
cause thero may bo those who havo been
brought Into conflict with him in past con
tests iu our congressional district or else
where yet it must bo aumiucd mat no is a
man of great energy of character, that he
has been a successful business man in the
several pursuits In which ho has engaged,
that ho has an ambition and a desire for the
approval of his fellow citizens In short,
that ho has all thoso characteristics which
will fit him for an energetic, nnd, if you
choose, an ambitious administration of tho
Treasury. And of ono thing wo can ho well
assured, and that is, that, (so far as integri
ty in tho discbargo of official duty is con
cerned,) ho will neither steal any of tho
public moneys nor, so iar as no can ncip it,
permit anybody clsoto steal them. So, gen
tlemen, the candidates who havo been nomi
nated for our support for Stato officers, stand
fairly before us as reputable aud fit men to
fill the places for which thoy havo been
named. Now, what are tho reasons that
iddress themselves to men of various
oniuions nnd positions in favor of their
election in addition to the considerations of
fitness to which I havo relerred? Why,
mainly and principally, that they are can
didates of Reform pledged to reform tho
administration of tho government of the
State; and that reform 'of administration and
management in our Stato allairs is now, it
possible, more necessary than iu former aud
recent vcars. I do not pronoso to go into
details, but I refer generally to facts with
r...-!lf-. 1. t. !.!!..
which yuu uru lauiuiui iiiiuuu uiu imuiiu
press, and through other sources of informa
tion facts of this character: that legislation
has been looso and reckless and sometimes
profligate ; that executive action iu its con
nection with legislation and in many other
respects, has been open to just complaint,
and particularly that in tho administration
of tho treasury of tho State, of tho finances
of the State, thero has been great nnd no
torious abuse, i nave, lying under my hand,
tho official statements of the Stato Treasurer
for tho four years ending iu May 1874 : and
theso statements mado up monthly, show
that during thoso four years, there was an
average surplus, (i c., an amount unused
money not required for current administra
tive purposes,) of between a million and a
half and two millions of dollars, and that
this surplus was deposited in various insti
tutions, witli various depositaries through
out tho State, somo of them of admitted nnd
others of doubtful credit and standing, aud
that obviously largo amounts were deposited
for political reasons with nersons.with firm-".
and institutions, where no prudent officer oi
ine &tatc,looKingnnly to the public interests,
would have placed them. One of tho reso
lutions adopted by our convention at Erio is
a resolution stromr vi L'iiounciiii tho mamicro-
ment of the Stato Treasury, and it demands
that hereafter, all tho public moneys of tho
State not needed for current expenses, shall
bo promptly applied upon the indebtedness
of tho State, through the agency of tho sink
ing fund, and that no Stato Treasurer or
friend of his, cither political or personal,
shall hereafter bo permitted to make profit
outoiiuo public moneys that these enor
mous balances shall not bo mado to yield
interest or profit to h high ofllcor of the
Stato or to his confederates in wrong.
three years ago, a gentleman who onco
filled a high position in tho government of
our State, informed me that his own institu
tion had for years statedly paid to tho Stato
Treasurer, interest upon public moneys de
posited therein that tho payment ol this
interest to tho treasurer, was as much a mat
ter of course, as the depositing of funds in
tho institution when collected by tho col
lecting officers in tho section in which he
lived. There is. gentlemen, no reason to
doubt that this has been a coursoof conduct.
or rather of abuse, in treasury management
lor years, ion win remember that, in the
Constitutional Convention, this subject was
iiuiy considered without uillercnceot party
and the Convention adopted the most strin
gent provisions against tins abuse, iiut,
gentlemen you may make your laws asstriu-
geut and searching as you plcaso, you may
muiio yoqr constitution tis lar-reaching as
you pleaso so that its provisions shall bo fit
ted for correcting all abuses of public ad
ministration to correct or prevent them
and you will utterly fail unless you select
proper men to administer your laws and to
obey your Constitution, Applause.!
Wo havo nominated men with special
reference to theso objects of reform, to which
I iiavo referred, and who, if elected, will per
form their whoio duty.
Jt cannot bo denied, gentlemen, that wo
hnvo fallen upon evil times. Wo know
that iudustry in nil its channels of activity

necessity that wo shall look about us aud

Into our present position.

judged to ho necessary by us of tho North

that struggle a national debt now somewhere
above twothousaud millions ot dollars. Wo
hardly caro to know tho oxact amount-it is so
great that a hundred millions above or be-
low a given sum is cainparativcly unimport'

therato of which Is higher, I believe, than
that paid upon its debt by any other civilized
country in tho world, llesidcs, tho interest
upon our debt is paid not iu tuo ordinary cur
rency which passes from hand to baud among
tho peoplo iu business transactions (I mean
greenbacks nnd national bank no'cs) but
paid iu coin or its equivalent. Aud again,
a great part of that interest is not paid to
domestic holders of our public loans but is
paid abroad to loreigu creditors, jmow, all

gentlemen, (hat prior to the crisis and panic
of 1873, our business corporations In tho
country, plunged headlong Into debt, and
this was especially tho case with tho great
ruilroad comnanic, tSoino of yoi mny iiavo

whojly unavailable to you for any purpose of
uaio or lucoino, A rut our muincirlamioi
throughout the country, cities, counties, hor.
ough,nud towns, rushod forward in a career
of Improvement, in many turn improvident
lv. autlclnallni the future beforo the future
camo Thui It was that large masses ot
corporate and local mueutcunCM jvcre created
In additon to thoso of tho general and State
governments. Hut, gentlemen, this process
and liablt of debt-nuiklng did not ston with
our governments and eorponto bodies; it
extended nmong tho people, nnd boc.imo
everywhere a characteristic of Individual
business and enterprise. Uut debt creation
indicated profuso outlay and expenditure,
public and private, greatly facilitated by
government issues ol papnr money nnd
tho operation oi mo national uaiiKs.
At ono time, during the war, tho govern
ment expenditures wero nt tho rato of two
mill ons of dollars a day. In Juno 180 l.tho
year before tho end of the wnr,T was called
upon to vote and did voto for appropriations
amounting to ono hundred and thirty mil
lions ol dollars in a singlo bill I it was
tho handling of enormous sums of money,
tho trcmcndlous outturn that wero caused by
and required by tho war It was tho specula
tion which war operations begat in ine
country, nnd causes allied to thoso that in
troduced into our business life habits of
reckless and extravagant expenditure that
wo havo not yet broken away from which
wo havo not vet abandoned It Is necessary
that tho American people, like other people
beforo them, shall learn the hnrd lesson of
economy aud frugality, tho lesson may be
hard, but necessity will
tc'ich
it, nnd u like
necessity
will
require that
it shall be
learned.
Hut as far as remedies can bo applied to
tho existing situation of things, wo should
ocek for them nnd apply them. I suspect
that government can do but little towards
affording nn immediate anil radical cure
for "hard times" complete instant relief
for prostractcd labor, and stricken industry.
Capital will remain timid; labor will re
main partly unemployed ; distress moro or
less stringent, will contlnue.lii somo quarters
of our country, and these things government
cannot wholly prevent. For society does
not depend upon government mainly or
mostly lor its prosperity and wcuare. inero
are only certain tilings which government
can do; its sphere is limited; it Is by no
means that omnipotent power which the
ignorant and unthinking supposo it to be.
That people who aro most independent, self
reliant, not looking to government as tho
source of their prosperity, but to their own
industry and labor, irugaiity, enterprise and
independent spirit will best succeed in tiio
raco of prosperity nnd in tho struggle for
national life. This may bo very old fashioned
doctrine, but it is taught and enforced by
tho history ot tho world.
Gentlemen. I don't think that government.
by issuing paper money profusely to tho
people, can increaso their wealth. I don't
think that if the government to-morrow un
dertook to tako charge of tho industries of
the nconlo to furnish them ninnlovinent.
and to provide tho means by which their
services should bo paid, it would succeed
any better, than other governments which
at sundry times have undertaken to work
such a paternal but lutilo policy. Now up
on theso subjects ol money and public iasth
our party has a declaration of doctrine, self
adopted, and now existing in lull iorcc. It
was adopted in Convention nt Ualtimoro in
1872, when wo asked from tho peoplo of tho
umii'u oiiui' men uuuuucneu mm support
for our candidates and our causoand is cx-

maintained ; and, therefore, wo denounco
repudiation, m every form and guise.
"8th. A speedy return to specie payments
is demanded alike by tho highest considera
tions of commercial morality and honest
government."
that, gentleman, is our party platform
upon public faith and money, and it will
contintio in forco until changed by compe
tent authority. A national convention oi
liko character to that of 1872 and with
similar powers, will sit during tho coming
year.and win announce again tho position ot
mo democracy oi tuo uniled States upon
public questions. Until that time, no
authority whatsoever is authorized to speak
decisively for us as a national organization.
Doubtless.tlie Congress of the United States.
which will sit during the coming winter, at
Washington.will bo renuiredto meet various
questions of financo and of government
policy and tlio democratic majority ot tho
Home of Representatives, composed of men
selected from all parts of tho United States,
win uo entitled, measurably, to speak for us
upon theso questions, and perhaps, with re
ference to them, to influence our future
action.
At present the Dcmoorntlc party in tho
United States, bv virtue of their platform
o. ia-', remain, as tney always havo been,
a nard-mouey party devoted to a con-titu
uonai com currency as tho standard ol val
lies regarding depreciated, inconvertible
paper money m time of peaco as both niju
rious and disgraceful. And from this posh
tiou they cannot depart without danger of
dissolution and extinction as a great nation
al party. Hut the holding to sound princi
pies of public policy, established by the
teachings of political economists and vindl
eated by tho history of nations, docs not
excludo considerations of expediency and
judicious action in their application. Tho
year alter tho Democratic piatiorm of 1872
was adopted, a panic smote tho peoplo ot tho
United States, first in tho great cities nnd
afterwards throughout tho country, from the
pressure ot which wo havo not yet recover
ed, then, and now, wo had and havo a cur
rency in circulation composed of legal ten
dcr and of national bank notes, both provi
ded, and virtually issued by tho government
ol the United btates. J agreo that a rea
sonable and prudent man, taking into ac
count the existing money of the country, (if
wo may call it such,) and tho existing pros
tration of business, may pauso and hesitato
long, in tho application ot radical and com
plete remedies, such as theory suggests, for
existing evils. Therefore, there has been,
and there is, a pretty general agreement of
opinion, that tho immediate resumption by
tho government of the payment of its obli
gations in coin shall not bo pressed that
such a measure is impracticablo.it the mo
ment, aud probably cannot bo accomplished
in tho very near future. Thero must bo
pauso given : there must bo preparation
made; tho government and tho peoplo must,
iu various ways, prepare themselves for tho
accomplishment oi that great ouject. incre-
lore. so tar us men are proposing deluy. and
witli delay preparation for rcsumption.so far
ns recent party piatiorms in umo and in tins
htato ol either political party iook to mea
sures of alleviation and of preparation for a
return to tho only constitutional standard ot
money, my judgment and my sympathies go
with them ; and I beliovo I speak for a ma
jority of tho Democracy of Pennsylvania,
when l bay that bcvnnu tuo limit and scopo
of theso remarks, which I now submit to
you, they aro not prepared to go, aud that
any charge or supposition that they desiro
to launch government upon an experiment
of expansion mid inflation is unfounded
an Imputation upon them which tho future
will repel as it will repel all other present
forms of falsehood nnd mistake. That upon
tho question of currency and money our
party ftands firmly In tho old ways, immov

IIMIlMAN WIlldllT HOUNDS THIS PENNSYL
VANIA ntni.i:
Dr.MocitAvio Committee Rooms Phila-
l)i:i,PIII., October 13, 13752 o'clock, A, M.
To the people of Pennsylvania: Tho Indica
tions aro that the friends of reform are de
feated In Ohio. It has been a gallant and
bold fight by tho peoplo of that Stato against
tho money of tho Federal Treasury and tho
money of tho banking institutions of tho
country. It has been an issue between tho
honor and Integrity of tlio masses n'talnst
official power. Wo sympatlilo with tho
men who havo fallen in dofenso of thoso sa
cred rights guaranteed to them by tlio
Constitutional laws of tho country, lly tho
power of their own money, raised from them
by oppressive taxation, they hnvo fallen.
Hut the Issues presented (u tho contest which
lias transpired In Ohio are not those which
are before us In Pennsylvania. Tho peoplo
of Ohio uro an agricultural people. Tho
great staples of Pennsylvania consists of her
rou, her coal, licr manufactories and me
chanical Industries ; these havo first felt tho
baleful Influences of n ptolligate government
nml a bad system of national legislation.
Wo of Pennsylvania Iiavo been first to feel
tho rod of oppression nnd' tyranny. The
people of Ohio havo yet to learn what it has
been our misfortune to realize; had they but
been sensible of the wrongs wo slider, tlio
power of tho money of the Federal treasury,
and the corrupt and demoralizing practices
of tho men who used it, could never havo
beaten down tho honest yeomanry of Ohio.
What, therefore, is our duty as Pennsylva-
nlans? The disasters of our friends in Ohio
should encourage us to combat this insolent
foe with a determination and zeal that havo
no limitation. Tho obligations wo owe to
ourselves, to our country, to our families and
to tho cauo of gooil government Imperious
ly demand tills of us. Tho desolation of
our manufacturing industries, tho depression
of tho wages of labor require that wo should
enter into tho approaching contest witli all
our courage, with all our energy nnd a set
tled determination on our part that nothing
shall bo left undone which tho emergency
requires nt our hands. Wo cannot allord
that tho hard earnings of a busy life of labor
shall be exposed to tho executioner's ham
mer, nor can wostnnd and endure that terri
ble burthen of taxation which is exacted
from us.
Let us go into this contest under tho broad
banners of reform. Let us stand by tho or
ganization that has been formed and the re
solves adopted by the Democratic Conven
tion at Eric. Let us merge every personal
consideration aud look only to tho common
good in the relief of a sulll-ring and distressed
people. Let jis hattlo for our homes and
firesides beforo tho mercenary power of a
mercenary government .shall rob us of them.
Fellow citizens, tho issue before you may
lie tho last one between tho power of incor
porated wealth on ouo sido and tho integrity
nnd honor of tlio popular masses on the
other. Let thoso who are attempting to im
poverish and ruin you understand and
know that tho hourol determined resistance
lias come, and that it is your purpose to
make that manly resistance which the emer
gency of the occasion requires.

Failing to injure her husband, she thrust tho

1 am aware that thero is a popular, and
not altogether unfounded, pn-juuico against
"patent medicines," owing to the small
amount of merit which many of them pos
sess. Tho appellation "Patent Mpilleinn"
docs not apply to m;
to my remedies, as no patent
has ever been
uskcii lor or outaincd upoi
them, nor havo they been urged upon the
ptlblio as "cure-alls." They nro simply
somo favorito perscriptions, which, in a very
oxtensivo practice, havo proved their superi
or remedial virtues in tho euro of tho dis
eases for which they aro recommended
Every physician lias his favorito remedies,
which no oftencst recommends or ucs, be
cause ho has tho greatest confidence in their
virtues. Tho patient does not know their
composition, liven prescriptions aro usually
written in a language unintelligible to any
but tho druggist. As much secrecy is cm
ployed as iu tho preparation of proprietary
medicines. Docs tlio fact that an articlo is
prepared by n process known only to tho
manufacturer render that article less valua
ble? How many physicians know tho ele
mentary composition of tho remedies which
they employ, somo of which havo never
been analyzed? Few practitioners know
how Morphine, Quinine, Podophyllin, I.ep
tandrlii, Pepsin, or Chloroform, are made, or
how nauseous drams are transformed into
palatablo elixirs; yet thoy do not hesitato to
employ them, is it not inconsistent to uro
ii prescription, tlio composition of which is
unknown to iis,aud discard another prepara
tion siuifly because it is accompanied by n
printed statement of its propeities with di
rections for its use ?
Somu persons, whllo admitting that my
medicines are good pharmaceutial com
pounds, object to them on tho ground that
thoy nro too often used witli Inuillicient
Judgment. I proposo to obviate this difficulty
by enlightening tho peoplo as to tho struct
ure and functions of their bodies, tho causes,
character, mid symptoms of disease, and by
indicating tho proper and judicious employ,
ment of medicines, together with such
auxiliary treatment as may bo necessary.
