Is a combination of all the Ingredients of the

pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to
the public.
Those preferring a Medicine, free from Alen.
holie admixture, will use
1100FLAND'S GERIiAN BITTERS
Thaso who have no objection to the combina
tion of the Bitters, as stated, will use
ROOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
ingtwo beteg a ater pala aniatiarat taste, the Tonic be-
the most table.
The stomach, from js variety of causes, such
as Indigestion, Dys- pepsin, Nervous De
bility, etc., is very if - 1 opt to have its func
tions deranged. The 1,/ Liver, sympathising
as closely as it does with the tstemach,
then becomes affected, the result of which is
that the patient suffers from several or more 01
the following diseases:
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Full
ness of Blood to the Head Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food,Full
ness or Weight. In the Stomach. Sour Fzucta-
Cons, Sinking or Fluttering nt 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, Defi
ciency' of Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skin
and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs,
H
etc., Sudden Flushes of eat, Burning of the
Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evil and tireat
Depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from these diseases should exer.
else the greatest caution in the selection of a
remedy for his case, purchasing only
that which he Is as- O sured from his In
vestigations and in- on tries possesses
true merit, is skill- fully compounded is
free from . injurious ingredients and has estab-
fished for itself it reputation for the cure or
these diseases. In thLs connection we would
submit these well-known remedies—
lI.COCIOFLA.IWI3•IS
GERMAN BITTERS,
mo
ilooVr_.n.rrivtg
GERMAN TONIC;
Prepared by
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
Philadelphia, Pa
Twenty-two years since they were first Intro.
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cum; and benefitted suffering humanity
to a greater extent, than any other remedies
knOwn to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com
plaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic
or Nervous Debility, Mi Chronic Diarrhcea,
Divm‘Ps of the Rid- jc nevi and all diseas
es arising from a dia- ordered Liver,
Stomach, Or Intestines,
'DEI3ILITY,
Resulting from any cause whatever; Prostra
tion or the System, induced by Severe
Labor, Enrdiships, Exposure,
Fevers, Etc.
There is ho medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is im
parted to the whole gystem, the appetite is
strengthened food is mijoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is purified, the com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow
tinge is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is
given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous
invalid becomes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life, and feeling the hand
of time weighing heavily upon them, with all
its attendant Ills, will find In the use of this
SIPPERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will In
stil new life into their veins, restore in a meas
ure the energy' and ardor of more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining years.
IN tyr ter..
It is a well established fact that fully one-halt
of the female portion of our population
are seldom in the en- T Joyment of good
health; or, to use 1/ their own expres
sion, "never tee I well." They are lan
guid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite.
To Mfg class of persons the ISITTERS, 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 MARASSIUS, without
fail. Thousands of certificates have accumula
ted lu the hands of the proprietor, but space
will allow of but few, Those, it will be observed,
are men of note andel* such standing that they
must be believed.

The Most Expensive Government on
Earth.
Outs should be the cheapest Government
on earth. • We have no family, to support,
no family of princes to provide with a royal
revenue, no nobility to keep up, no court
retinue to pay for. 'the salaries of necessary
officials • are not extravagantly large, and,
until the Radicals got into power, we were
not burdened to sustain a multitude of useless
office-holders. The corrupt leaders of that
party did away with the simplicity and fru
gality of former times, and they have made
this the most expensive Government on the
face of the earth.
In a recent speech delivered at Milwaukie,
lion. Samuel .L . Tilder, of' New York, gave
the following tateMents of what the military
department of our Government is costing un
der Radical rule. He said :
Citizens—l hold in my hand a statement
of the War Department for the last fifteen
months. It is made from authentic sources,.
and I have no doubt it is substantially relia
ble. These expenses are about $ll,OOO 000 a
month.9r $130,000,000 a year. This is the
cost Mlle War Department during a period
of peace, beginning tyro years after the close
of the war. These statements, which I shall
band to the reporters, arc made from the offi
cial records of the Government. They are
as follows:

"The first table contains the „payments
made at the Treasury Department on 'ac
count of the War DepartMent during the fif
teen months ending on the 21st of March
last, which was the latest
. date to which I
have been able to obtain these figures. This
is beside pensions; this is beside navy expen
ses; this is beside the civil - list; thiS is beside
the interest on the public debt. If any of you
have the curiosity to inquire why it is that
business is not prosperous—that prices are
,higher than they ought to be, even in the pres
ent diluted State of the currency, and that
poor men with high wages still find it diffi
cult to live—l tell you It is because, in this
age of the American Republietwe are subject
to the most enormous and burdensome and
oppressive system of taxation—oppressive in
its amounts, and oppressive in the mode by
which it is levied. Why, gentlemen, the
British empire, which proudly boasts that
her military posts encircle the whole globe,
so that her morning drum-beat keeps Com
pany with the hours, expends for her vast
home and military system not more than
$6,000,000 a' month, while we, even during
the last year, have been expending about
$11,000,000 a month; and her $6,000,000 a
month includes herpensions, while our $ll,-
000,000 does not include our pensions. Take
the French empire, the greateit* and the
mightiest of the military monarchies of mod
ern times. That empire expended as an
average of seven years past $7,000,000 a
month. • And the Prussian empire, recently
formed, expended on its army in 1867, only
$20,000,000, or less than $2,500,000 a month.
And we, 'in free republican America, have
been expending at the rate of $130,000,000 a
year, besides pensions."
Mr. Tilden is one of the most intellectual
and cautious staticians, in such matters, in
the United States. He has committed his
high reputation to the correctness of the
above statement, and the figures there set
forth can not be contradicted. Let every tax
payer examine them carefully. • *
SINOULAU Nottncierrost. —On Friday a
primary election was held in the Lancaster
(Penna.) district, for the nomination of a can
didate to the, Forty-first CoUgreis. It had
been previously recommended by the 'Repub.
lican committee of the county that, notwith
standing the death of Thaddeus Stevens, his
name should stand at the head of the ticket,
and that he should be nominated us if he was
living. For the first time ht the political
history - , of the country a man already passed
beyond the confines of time was nominated
for Congress without opposition.—Plaadei
phia, Inquirer.
There is eminent propriety in such a nom
ination. The dead Stevens is the best rep
resentative of the dead carcass of Radical
ism. A. dead man to represent a dead party
Is just the thing.
Ftimurks ruoM TUE Boors.—During Mr.
Polka administration, by which the Mexican
war was prosecuted, the expenses of the War
Department were 00,540,788. The expenses
of that same Department for the year ending
June 30, 1868, the third year of peace, were
$128,811,464, or $38,000,000 more during one
year of peace than they were during four
years of Democratic rule, with a foreign war
in progress. That is a Democratic fact and
one that naturally suggests the question:
"What is beinc olone with all the money ta
ken from the people?"
IF greenbacks are good enough to pay the
farmer, the mechanic, the Morey; the mer-
chant, the soldier and the soldier's widow,
who pay Wes, they are good enough to pay
the bondholder, who pays no taxes.—Demo-

Well. here I am with a wife and four chil
dren, and not able to support them.
I enlisted early in the war.to fight for my
Government. I was in the bloody Wiles of
Fredericksburg, Antietam and .Getlysbrog.
At the latter I lost my left leg. Thocaniage
was terrible.
I have to go op crutches; my constitution
is broken ; my, health is ruined.
.I cannot get any work which I am able to
do. My poor Wife has to wash all dsyand
sew half the night to make a scanty living
for us.
It Is true I get a pension of 'fifteen dollars
per month, but that will scarcely bay a bar
rel of flour, asThe paper money is only worth
seventy cents on the dollar,
Congress tong since established a bureau
for the support of fat, lazy negroes in idle
ness, and the Northern people, soldiers and
all, are taxed to keep it up.
No bureau is talked of ter the ,support of
wounded soldiers, their wives and children.
These negroes now govern ten States.
They elect Senators and Representatives,
who, I believe, are called carpet-baggers, be
cause they are mere political adventurers—
strangers to the people they represent —and
only care film the big salaries they draw.
I think this is shametbl. •
I was a Republican ditzlng the war;
There are no Republicans now. The party
Is called Radical. '

rebellion was put darn and the 'Union pre

at Washington say the Union is divided and
- can only be restored by making negroes vot
ers and superior to the whites.
They set the negroes free and now tax
white people to support them.
I can't understand why my poor wife is
compelled to.work hard to support herself
and children, while strong, healthy negroes
are kept at the public expense.
These Radicals say the soldiers should vote
for their party. There is something wrong.
I can't see why soldiers should vote to sus
tain a party that approprioies money to feed
negroes, and won't feed the badly wounded,
who fought to sustain the Government. We
must have a change of rulers. I shall vote
for Seymour and Blair. Matters can't be
worse.
A change may be an improvement.
Provisions are very dear.
Good flour costs fifteen dollars a barrel.
Butter is fifty cents a pound, and everything
else in proppmlon.
How the poor are to live and pay these
prices much longer is a mystery to me. •
They tell me the wheat crop this harvest
is the greatest ever raised in this country;
but prices are kept up by rich speculators,
who delight to oppress the poor.
We must have a change of rulers at Wash
ington.
To-morrow my poor wife is going to wash
for the tax-collector.
He will pay her fitly cents for it.
He gets four dollars a day for tax-collect-
She will have to work harder than he
does.
My children are sick. I have no money,

Horace Greeley Gives Up the Fight•
- , [From the Independent.]
Tug DANGER OF Gaurr's DEYELT--HONV
14) AVERT IT.—By Horaos Greeky.—Our
friends seem to be almost everywhere resting
in the conviction that General Grant cannot
possibly be beaten. This is at once untrue
and pervious. He not only eon, but will be
beaten, unless the Republicans work with
more energy and efficiency than they have
thus far done. Indiana is the only doubtfhl
State which seems to be contested by them
with' adequate zeal and industry. I trust that
Ohio cannot be lost, but if there be no revi
val on our side, the ballot-boxes will close
on the night of the October State election
with at least 10,000 more Republican than
Democratic votes unpolled. Perhaps we can
stand that disparity, and perhaps not It is
not safe to take the risk.
So of Pennsylvania. We were heavily
cheated there last October; we are likely to
be worse cheated now. Her election laws
are tolerably good, but the judges in strong
Democratic districts set them at defiance,
taking all the votes that are offered—espe
cially the bad ones. They will cheat us at
least ten thousand in October. [A big joke.]
We can beat them still, if every Republican
vote is polled. But will they be? Will Al
legheny give her 10,000, Lancaster her
6,000, and others in proportion? Will Berke,
Northampton, Monroe, Columbia, &c.., give
no more than their legal majprities against
us ? I hope, but fear.
Now, let us suppose- that the enemies of
hunian rights should—no matter by what
means—canq Pennsylvania and Ohio in Oc
tober, winning likewise some local triumphs
in other States—what then ? whall- we not
see the very men who now shirk effort, on
the• ground- that Grant cannot be beaten,
lying down in inaction because (they will
say) he is already beaten, and cannot possi
bly be elected ? How swift will be their
transition from blind presumptioh to cow
ardly despair!
The States are entitled to choose 317 elec
tors, whereof 159 are a majority. There
should be no doubt of General Grant's car
rying at least these : Maine 7, New Hamp
shire 5, Massachusetts 19, Rhode Island 4,
Vermont 5, West Virginia 5, Ohio 21, Indi
ana 13, Illinois 16, Louisiana 0, Michigan 8,
Wisconsin 8, Minnesota 4, lowa 8, Missouri
11, Kansas 3, Tennessee 10, North Carolina
9,.South Carolina 4. Total 150.
Here are just enough votes to elect, with
regard to which there should be no doubt
But Ohio and West Virginia are desperately
contested, and while we have most voters in
each, our adversaries seem for the present to
have the best workers. And while Wade
Hampton boldly proclaims that every
-black who works for a "Democrat" must give
his vote to Seymour and Blair, or be de
pnved of weak, bread and borne, how can we
feel sure that any rebel State.will vote for
Grant? We know right welt that thirty
thousand majority of the legal voters of
South Carolina will hope and pray that
Grant may be elected; but twenty thousand
of these may be constrained to vote for Sey
mour, or not to vote at aIL So of other rebel
States: We cannot rely on one of them until
the votes shall have been polled and the re
sult declared.
Men and Brethren ! We must carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Penn
sylvaniii for Grant and Colfax. With these
—or even half of them—there can be no mis
take as to the result. Without at least two of
them, all is in doubt. We can carry every one
of them, except possibly New Jersey, if we
begin at once and resolutely try.
•
[As every one of the four States last men-
tioned are sure to go Democratic, Greeley
may be regarded as •having given up the
fight. Of the list given as not beingin doubt

Calf YOU TELL vs WET ?—The World
pertinently inquires :
If reconstruction is a success; why isn't the
army withdrawn?
If the Radicals want peace, what are they
arming the mama for ?
If the Radicals mean equal rights, why one
currency for capital and another for labor?
Lithe negroes can vote of themselves, why
pity the Bureau to teach them?
If the Radicals mean equal rights, what do
they put the negro above the white man for ?
If the Radicals mean impartial suffrage,
what does their platform say one suffrage
North and another south for?
If the Radicals want peace s what are they
running their candidate on his military ma
its for?
Is it impartial suffrage to enfranchise the
black and disfranchise the white man ?
The total amount of interest on the public
debt is about $37,000,000 per quarter, or
$150,000,000 per annum in gold, which being
reduced to the currency of the people makes
$310,000,000. Now add to this $300,000,000
more for the ordinary and extraordinary ex

revolutionary' administration, and you have

In the first year of the war, 1861, the cost
of the War and Navy Departments was—
War, $160,127,694; Navy, 1P9,:.:0,176. In
the first year of peace 1865, the cost of the
same departments wa5—5848,2 1 4,733 ; Navy,
$108,554,337; while last year the War De
partment cost only $4,000,000 less than In
1861, and the Navy Department cost s2o e
000,000 more. In other words, it costs more
money now to support the navy in time of
peace, than it did in 1861 1 when the navy
was blockading the Atlantic and Oullcoasto,
and the mouth of the Mississippi. What be
comes of the people's money?
Ix speaking of the taxation of Govern

"There must be either taxation or repudia

taxes on their property, and see their neighr

as the ram of Heaven falls : alike on the just
