1100FLAN41N GERMAN HITTERS,
DM
lloolland's German Tonic,
The great Remedies for all Diseases of the Liver,
Stomach or Digestive Organs.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Is composed of theinire Juices (or, as they are
medicinally termed. Extracts) of Roots,
Herbs an d Harks, 11 making a prepara
tion highly euncen- 11 tmted and entirely
free from alcoholic admixture of any
kind.
HOofland'a German Tonic
Is a combination of all the ingredients of the
Bitters, with the purist quality of Santa Cruz
Itum, range, etc., making one of the most
pleas' O ant and agreeable remedies ever offered to
the public.
Those preferring a Medicine, free from Alco
holic admixture, will use
lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Those who have no objection to the cornhina
tion of the Bitters, as stated, will use
1100FLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic be
ing the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes, such
as Indigestion, Dye- pepsin, Nervous De
bility, etc., is very rt IV?'
to have its func
tions.deranged. The I.J ve , sympathizing
as closely as it does with the Stomach,
then becomes affected, the result of which is
that the patient snffers from several or more of
the fallowing diseases: ................------
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Pis, Full
ness of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust tor Food,Full
ness or Weight' in the Stomach, Sour Eructa
tions, Sinking or, Fluttering at the Pit of the
Stomach, Swimming of the Head. Hurried or
Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart,.
Choking or Suffocating Sensations when in a
lying posture, Dimness of Vision. Dots or Webs
before the Sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Deft.
clence of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin!
and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs,'
etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat, Burning of the
Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evil and Great!
Depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from these diseases should exer •
cise the greatest caution in the selection of a
remedy for UN case, purchasing on 1 y
that which he is as-surest from his in
vestigations and in- , ri
quiries possesses
true merit, is skill- J, fully compounded is
free from injurious ingredients and has estab
neared for Itself a reputation for the cure of,
these diseases. In this connection we would
submit these well-known remedies—
110 (3 F . IA .A.N JD '
GERMAN BITTERS,
CM
UOOPLANI)
GERMAN TONIC,
Prepared by
DR.
Philadelphia, Pa
Twenty-two years since they were first intro- .
d • 1 into this country from Germany, during
wlll.ll time they have undoubtedly performed
more tares, and benefited, aufferinglaumanity
to a • neater extent, than any other remedies
kno • - to the public.
Thes remedies will effectually cure Liver Com
pl alt, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic
Ne •ous
F Diarrhcea,
Diseases of the Sid- treys andall diseas
es arising from a Ms- ordered, Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines.,
IMEMILITY,
Resulting from any cause whatever; Piostra
thin of the S stem, induced by Severe
Labor,ps, Exposure,
Fevers, Ete,
There is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is Iwo
parted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is puritled, the com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow
tinge Is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom Is
iiven to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous
nvalid becomes a strong and healthy heing.
Persons advanced In life, and feeling the hand
of time weighing heavily upon them, with all
its attendant s, will find In the use of this
BITTERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will ln
stll new life Into their veins, restore In a meas
ure the energy and ardor of more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms anti give health
and happiness to their remaining years.
NOTIC].
It is a well established fact that fully one-half
of the female portion of our population
are Radon). the en- T joyment of good
'health ; or, to use La their. own expres
ston, "never I eel well." They are lam
guld, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite.
To this ela.ss of persons the mrrEns, or the
TONIC, is especially recommended.
Weak and delicate children are made strong
by the use of tither of these remedies. They
will cure every case of MARASSICTS, without
fail. Thousands of certitlcates.pave accumula
ted in the-hands of the proprietor, but space
will allow of but few. Those,lt will be observed,
are men of note andof such standing that they
must be believed.

FROM REV. JOS. H. KENNARD, D. D
Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Chun! PLlla
Da. JAcKsois—Dear Sir:—l have frequently
been requested to connect my name with rec
ommendations of different kinds of medicines,
but regarding the practice as out pf my appro
priate sphere, I have in all cases declined; but
with a clear proof in various Instances,
and particularly in 1\1" my Own family, of
the usefulness of Dr. 11 Hoofland's German
Bitters, I depart fqr once from my usual
course to express my full eonviction that, for
General Debility of the System, and especially
for Liver Complaint, it is a safe and valuable
preparation. In some cases it maail; but,
usually, I doubt not, it will be very beneficialto
those who suffer from the above cause.
Yours very respectfully

Extracts from His Speech at Grafton,
West Virginia, on Thursday,
July 16th, 1868.
Mn. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN
he impossible for me to make myself heard in
this immense audience unless you keep quiet ;
and I shall ask that while I am speaking you
will allow the to proceed without interrup
tion. I thank you, gentlemen, for the very
cordial reception you have just given me.
The Chairman of your State Executive Com
mittee, who invited me to attend your meet
ing to-day, told me that I had no truer friends
in the Union than I would meet here in West
Virginia. Yon have proven his statement
true. I came obedient to your bidding. I
desired to see you to make your personal'
acquaintance, and to return to ynu my thanks
for the warm and constant support of your
delegates to, the National Convention.. I
came to shOw you that no personal disap
pointment lingers in my breast or dampens
for an instant the ardor of my efforts for the
success of our party; that far above all per
sonal considerations I rate the success of the
principles in which I believe, and - that who
ever shall bear the flag on which.those prin
ciples are inscribed, I shall be found close at
his side, in the thickest of the fight, to cheer
him with my voice and to aid him with my
arm. I came to urge upon you, Democrats
and Republicans alike, to trample under foot
every prepossession, and prejudice, and pas
sion, if it were as dear as life, and, rising to
the height of this great struggle, to remember
that we have only a little life to give and a
noble, enduring Government to save.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE PARTY OF LIB
ERTY AND PROGRESS.
lam a party Map. I avow it, but not, I
trust, in any narrow or sectarian sense. I
am attached from conviction 'to the princi
ples of the Democratic party. I have studied
its history from_lhe foundation of the Gov
ernment In the States I have found it tobe
the party of liberty and progress. In the
Federal Government I have found it to be
the exponent of that fundamental principle
of therConstitution that "all powers which
are not granted are reserved." It has been
the consistent opponent of consolidation in
the one system, and of excessive administra
tion in the other. It has been at once the
firm supporter of the rights of the States and
of the Just powers of the Federal Govern
ment. In every vicissitude of our history it
has appeared to direct us with its wisdom,
and to extricate us by its courage, and to-day
it stands as it did in 1708 and 1709, under
the guidance of Mr. Jefferson, pointing us
the path of safety, which is now, as it was
then—the Constitution—the path of fraternal
harmony and peace. * * *
CORRUPTION AND EXTRAVAGANCE 01 THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY:
The Republican party is the party of usur
pation. It is also the party of corruption.
Read the report of the Commissioner of Rev
enue. Count the number of clerks who are
seeking'in vain to discover the amount of
speculation in the Treasury Department.
Go to the War Department and see the mu
tilated archives and ask why they were- de
stroyed? Visit the penitentiary and count
the public plunderers. It is the party of ex
travagance—the war party , ended in May,
1865.
During the three years, l`rom July 1, 1863,
to July 1, 1868, the expenses of the Federal
Government, independent ,df interest on the
public debt, was eight hundred and twenty
millions of dollars. These were years of
peace. The army and navy of the war had
been rethiced ; their back-pay had already
been made up to them ; immense sales of
Government property, consequent upon the
close of the war, had been made, and yet in
these three years the Republican administra
tion expended eight hundred and twenty,
millions of dollars—two lamdred and Seventy
millions of dollars a year.
CONTRAST WITR DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRA
vo:se.
apVCB.
The whole expense of the Government o
the United States for four years preceding
the war was two hundred and flay-six mil
lions of dollars. These eight hundred and
twenty millions do not include the interest
upon the public debt. If.this be added, the
expenditure of each one of these three years
will amount to at • least lour hundred and
thirty millions of dollars. The taxation of
the year 1866 amounted to•flve hundred and
ninety millions of dollars. The taxation of
the last year of Mr. Buchanan's administra
tion amounted to eighty millions of. dollars.
The expenses of the `farDepartment during
the whole of Mr. Polk's administration, in
cluding the Mexican war, were $90,340,000;
the expenses of the War Department for
1867 were $128,850,000. In one year of Re
publican administration, in time of peace, the
War Department spent $30,000,000 more
than a four years Democratic administra
tion did in time of war.- The Navy De
partment for four years, before the war,
•cost $62,910,000. Then our commerce was
prosperous, bur ships sailed on every sea and
loaded in every harbor. To-day we have no
commerce, a foreign flag covers all the trade
to our sea-ports. The ship-builders of Maine
are starving for want of occupation, and let
the estimates for the navy, for the current
four years, is $117,470,000.„
FINANCE AND TAXATION.
I have said to .you that the taxation of
1866 amounted to $230,000,000. lam told
that this year it will be less. The securities
of the Government are not subject to taxa
tion. The capital invested in the securities
reaches $2,600,000,000. All the property,
real and personal, of (every kind, as derived
from the official reports of 1860, amounted
to $16,000,000. Thus you see that near one
sixth of all the capital in the country is ex
empt from taxation.
But why is it that the amount realized
from 1868, will be less than the amount real
ized in 1866? The rate of taxation is sub
stantially the same. It is true that this Re
publican Congress -hits diminished, as a
whole, the taxes on the manufacturers of
New England ; it is true that they will di
minish somewhat the taxes upon whiskey,
but the amount collected from either of those
sources would not materially change the ag
gregate. Whir then, I ask again, will the
amount realized from taxes this year be less
than in 1866? The burthen upon those who
do pay is just as great as it was then. The
difficulty of making the payment is even
greater than it was then. •
TILE GENERAL DISTRESS A.ND ITS CAUSE.
A. cry of distress when the day for the
payment of taxes comes around arises from
e very part of the country ; and it is because
'the business of the country is stagnant ; it is
because your workshops are idle ; it is be
cause labor finds no occupation ; it is because
the produce of the farmer remains on his
hands, Instead of going to the market ; it is
because your stores are overloaded with
abundant etocke; it is because. ow and
eni v rprke are paralyzed and capital sem:tins
inactive.
CLAIRL! . .“ - CO:iTILA.CTION
And why is all this? Because a Republi
can admimstration insists on curtailing um
currency, disturbing all values, checking all
enterprise, throwing out of employment all
labor. The tradesman is caught witha large
stock on declining prices. The farmer fears
the fall which may overtake him before his
wheat reaches the market. The manufac
turer fears that the prite of his raw material
to-day will be greater than the price of his
manufactured goods to-morrow, and the cap
italist will not take his money out of Govern
ment bonds and invest it in houses, or lands
and stocks, lest the rents and dividends will
not yield him simple interest. In the mean
time, labor is without employment, and pov
erty stalks through homes where comfort
has always been before. In the mean
time this work of contraction. is steadi
ly pushed. Look at every monthly report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, you will find
that every month the debt that bears interest -
ingold is increased ; you will find that every
dollar which hears no interest at all, or which
bears interest in currency, is converted as
rapidly as possible into bonds which pay in
terest in gold. ;And why is this ? Is there
too much currency in the country ? Is there
a plethora of money? Is speculation rife?
No one will dare affirm so much, and yet
this work of contraction still goes on, and
value *pined for the bondholder out of the
sweat and tears, the blood and bones, and
muscles of the laboring man.
UNITED STATES BONDS
And wlierowe ask the reason, we are am
swered by the declaration of the Republican
Convention, at Chicago, that the bonds must
be pnid in — gold, according to the spirit and
letter of the contract; by a declaration of its
President that the debt of the bondholder is
as sacred as the grave of the soldier.
=
I deny that it is according either to the
spirit or the letter of the contract under
which the five-twenty bonds were sold. I
say that neithet the spirit nor the letter of
•the law under which those bonds were. is
sued, nor good) faith, nor good morals, nor
exact justice tq the .bondholder, require that
they should be paid in gold. They are pay
able in legal-tender, and in this opinion I am
sustained by the resolution of tile DemoeMt
ic Convention in New York, which declares
that where the obligations of the Govern
ment do not expressly state upon their faqes
—or the law under which they were issuOd
does not provide—that they shall be paid
in coin, they ought in right and justice to be
paid in the lawful money of the United
States. '
When the legal-tender act was passed, the
private indebtedness of the country amounted
to a very large sum. It was contracted to•be
paid in gold, but was in fact discharged in
paper. The public necessity was alleged to
be sufficient reason for this wholesale confis
cation. Is there no public necessity now to
demand the payment of the bonds in the
money which was paid for. them?
POLICY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ON THIS
QUD-TION
The policy of- the Republican party is to
pay all these bonds in gold ; to convert gll
the currency now outstanding, and all the
indebtedness of the 'United States into these
bonds ; to pay interest in gold for this enor
mous amount, whatever it may be, and to ex
tend the time within which the bonds shall
be paid. In the meantime the bonds are to
be exempt from taxation, and the interest is
to be paid, semi-annually, hi gold. What
the amount of indebtedness under that sys
tem can finally be shown to be, I cannot say :
$2,500,000,000 we know it is now. Less than
that it certainly will not be. The interest
upon that sum will be $150,000,000 in gold,
and this amount is to be drawn annually
from the people of the country during all
your lives; anti the lives of your youngest
children, in order to carry out the plan of the
Republican party.
THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION
The Democratic party upon this question
has given forth no uncertain sound. It de
clares that the debt shall not Ife' extended,
but must be paid as rapidly as possible; all
the money collected from the people shall
not be squandered on - Freedmen's Bureaus
and standing armies, but shall be applied to
the payment of this debt and of the reduction
of the interest. It declares that the 5-20
bonds shall be paid in legal tender, and until
they be paid they shall be subjected to the
same rule of taxation as all other property.
It declares there shall be one currency for
the Government and the people ; for the
laborer and the office-holder; the pensioner
and the soldier; the freedmen and the bond
holder.
TICE DEMOCRATIC PLAN DEMONSTRATED.
And how soon is it practicable to pay this
debt? Three hundred and thirty millions. of
bonds are held in the Treasury Department
as security for the National Bank circulation.
Redeem them, the very, instant you have the
option to do so, with legal tender notes, and
let them supply the place of the bank paper.
This measure alone,with a very little inflation
of the currency and without any addition to
the taxation, will reduce the debt and save
the twenty millions of dollars, in gold, annu
ally, which are now paid as a bonus to the
National banks:
Five hundred millions of the first issue of
five-twenties are already-or will this year be
payable at the . option of the Government.
Redeem theie,' also, in leg,al tender notes,
Where will thesenotes come from ? ask ssome,
friend. Stop this contraction at the Treasury
Department, reverse its-whole policy; give
stability to the money market; let it be un
derstood that fortunes are not held at the
whim of any Secretary, and trade will revive
and business will become active. Invest
ments will be made, the rate of taxation will
yield a larger return, and these notes will
flow into your treasury. Let economy be
practised; let corruption be punished; let
peculation of public funds be punished; let
the army be reduced; the Freedmen's Bu
reau be broken up; the impoverishment of
the South cease, and notes will be abundant.
EX1'..1.2:610N
But gentlemen, if these Measures will not
supply . funds, speaking for myself, I would
expand the currency; I would correct the
evils which have been produced by suet ex
traordinary and unprecedented contraction.
The business of the country has beTtime ad
justed'to a larger volume of currency than we
now have. The demands of the South and-
West require a greater amount of currency.
They are beggars for money, and are will
ing to pay from ten to - twenty per cent. Dur
ing the war, when the currency was at its
largest amount, gold . touched 290 per cent.,
and yet upon the declaration of peace, when
the Southern country, impoverished as it
has been, with 10,000,000 of people, who
had been shutout from the_use of our cur
rency, ready to strain every nerve to repair
the wastes of war, was opened to our busi
ness, gold stood only-at a fraction over 128.
The system of contraction was immediate
ly commenced,and with a currency of at least
two hundred millions less than it was then.
Gold stands to-day at 141. The value of the
currency then was not too large for the de
mands of the business of the country. I (10
not believe it would be necessary or advisa
ble
to expand the currency to that extent,
but if it should prove to be so, I would not
hesitate to restore the currency to the amount
at which it stood when gold touched 128. I
tell you, gentlemen, if this were done, it
would be as grateful to you and to the peo
ple of the West and South as the dews of
Heaven to the parched earth ; as the quails
and manna which God in his mercy vouch
safed to the children of Israel in the wilder
ness. By these two measures alone your
debt would be reduced $830,000,000, and the
interest would be reduced more than 230,000,-
00W in gold, annually, and the accruing rev
enue would enable you, without further ex
pansion, to pay off the residue of the fit e
twenties as they mature, and thus to diminish
still further the amount of interest, and con
sequently the taxes. If, then, the currency •
were found redundant, gradual contraction
could be effected, and as it would come when
the debt had been paid—when the necessity
for target sums of money on the part of the
Government had passed away—when taxes
were low, it could be accomplished withut
the oppression and disaster which attenOt.
PERSONAL POSITION TOWARD TUE DONDROL
DERS AS A CLASS.
I have been represented as inimical to 'tile
bondholders. Gentlemen, you shall judge me.
I am hostile to no class or interest in the
country. I simply desire to be just—just
to the bondholder—just to , the people. I
would -live up, with scrupulous fidelity, to
the terms of our contracts. I would pay the
Interest -4:ff the five-twenties in legal-tender
notes, because the bondholders agreed to re
ceive them in payment ; and as I would not
repudiate an honest bargain to make money
for the people, so will I not repudiate an
honest bargam to make money for the public
creditor,
=Earn CONEEQUIENCEn CutiffilMirtt-
It lugs been said that this policy will . giVs
us a depreciated currency. I think not. I
think, on the contrary, that just as the public
debt is in this way discharged, will the cer
tainty of its ultimate redemption become
more apparent, and its value be steadily in
creased. These bonds operate as a mortgage
*von the property and labor of the country.
There are two thousand million of them.
Pay off these two thousand millions, and will
not the legal-tender notes be Just iu that pro
portion more valuable?
But again:—give to these notes the ac
knowledged undoubted capacity to pay these
bonds; to pay all public obligations and they
immediately increase in value. I know the
evils of a depreciated currency; Webster de
scribed them. I would not aid in deprecia
ting our currency ; I fought against it when it
was proposed by the legal-tender act; my
warning wait not heeded. But since it has
been accomplished—since the debt was con
tracted in legal-tender—since It may be law
fully and honestly paid in legal-tender—l am
in favor of continuing it until we can secure
to the people, who have already suffered all
the evil, whatever good may be extracted
from the system.

. RECAPITULATION AND APPF-U...
But, gentlemen, I detain you too long.
have sought to bring in sharp contrast the
two parties and their respective principles.
"Choose ye between them." It is a struggle
between law and force ; Constitution and rev
olution ; order and anarchy; purity and cor
ruption ; economy and extravagance ; civil
government, and whatever comes after its
overthrow ; intellect, cultivation, experience,
capacity for government, and—but I forbear

I will not say one word in disparagement of
the chosen leader .of a great party of my
countrymen. This is the supreme struggle
for the mastery by these enduring and oppos
ing forces. Choose wisely- between them.
Work earnestly for your choice, and on the
day of election in November the people can
be congratulated for the achievementof a vic

of a prosperity and happiness which.eimemly.
be secured by the enjoyment of liberty regu
