jjjjAT KILLS AMERICANS. 57mlc*i An.bltlon-Tlol.nt PmoIou • r * TU. U.ce for Money. rt The alarming disease of this min try is nervous debility and prostration. It goes under many names but it is essen tially the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- tions for nervous patients are cr owded. The average of life in the United States is de creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark The majority of sui- tides, committed without ap parent reason, or under so-called “depression of spirits,” are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror. These facts ar« startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros perity. They wreck manhood’s strength and woman’s useful ness and beauty. Every one should know the causes. What are they ? The answer is easy and terribly E lain: Our vicious personal abits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, portion and influence; the fears and struggles of pov erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our, desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour’s pleasure or success. So we bum life’s candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impelled or des troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is literally starved; even when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:—headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wakel ulness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of Strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban donment of the habits and cus toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of SI a Jeer Extract of Hoots (Seigel’s Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb anon, N. V., is especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power fully upon the disordered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor ing their tone and vigor, pro moting the secretion of bile, ex pelling waste matters from the system,and purifying the blood. Upon the nervous system Shaker Extract{Sc\gcVa Syrup) acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upon the function of nutrition. It is safe to say more nerv ous dyspeptics have been re stored by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyment of life and labor than by any or all other fonns of treatment bined. , , , There Shall be no Alps, When Napoleon talked of invading I taly one of his officers saidi “But, sire, remember the Alps." To an or dinary man those would have seemed dimply insurmountable, but Napoleon responded eagerly: “There shall be no Alps.” So the famous Simplon pass was made. Disease, like a moun tain, stands in the way of fame, for tune and honor to many who by Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" might be healed and so the mountain would disappear. It Is specific for all blood, chronic lung and liver diseases, such ns consumption (which is scrof ula of the lungs,) pimples, blotches, eruptions, tumors, swellings, fever- sores and kindred complaints. Sidney Perry who shot and killed Charley iMitohell about a month ago, while they were fooling with a pistol, was tried yesterday for murder, and found guilty of involuntary man slaughter in the commission of a law ful act without duo caution. This will give him a year at hard work, which it is hoped, will teach some of the fools of the country to quit point ing pistols or guns at their friends in play.—Thoinasville correspondent of the Macon Telegraph.

WILSON, SUP’T , lAgRotfjtotb, 1887/ . j {£■$■ 88 ly. ; Washington Chronicle. Let us examine carefully the actual budget of a recent year, using round numbers, since many figures confuse. For the year ending June 30th, 1881, the revenue and expenditures were as follows: Revenue, 300 millions; expenditures 340 millions. The revenue consisted, of customs, 198 millions; internal revenue, 185 millions; all other sour ces, 27 millions. The austoms, over half of the entire revenue, were derived as follow*, viz: Sugar 48 millions; woolens, 27 millions; iron and steel, 22J millions; silks, 18 millions; cottons, 11 millions; flax 7 millions. These six schedules yielded 183 mil lions, two thirds of the whole custom duties. All other customs about 05 millions. The internal revenue, about three- Igliths of the whole, was as follows: Liquors, etc. 81 millions; tobacco, etc., ‘3 millions. These two items yielded over nine-tenths of the internal re- enue. The residue came from the banks, 0 millions; matches, 21 millions; medicines, 2 millions. The miscellane ous sources of revenue yielded 27 mil lions. Not one-twelfth of the whole. Such are the sources of the 300 mil lions of revenue for 188L The esti mate for 1882 anticipate 400 millions, and a like sum for 1883. COMPREHENSIVE VIEW. But in commenting on the revenue, we desire not a petty system of eom- jiarisou—of one year with another— Dut a larger view. The subject is too seldom discussed as a whole; partial views are taken, and we soon get lost in details. As it sometimes occurs with a sick man, we ask how he is, and we are told he is a little better or a little worse; but we wish to know how he is absolutely and not merely relatively. We wish a comparison not with yesterday, but with health. Considering then the revenue as a whole—the first, question which arises is this: “Does 360millions, or now in 1883, does 400 millions, represent the whole truth? Is this all?’’ Far from it. The taxation of the people and the revenue derived from it nro en tirely and widely different things. The collateral are vastly greater than the direct taxes. Let us look at it in this way—at the tax, its incidents and its accidents, or protection and wuste. TRUE VIEW. The true view would then appear to be: The tariff, 200tuillions; incidents, 500 millions; accidents, say 300 mil lions; aggregate cost, of the tariff to the people, 1,000 millions; internal re venue, etc., 200 millions; total taxation, 1,200 millions; revenue 400 millions excess of taxation over revenue, 800 millions. But even the revenue, 400 millions, is reported as in excess by the cool sum of 100 mill I-iiis. same year. In 1883, the estimate for pensions iH 100 millions, far exceeding the interest on the debt. And yet, after all, the estimates show a largo surplus revenue for each of the three years. The surplus now exceeds the aggregate revenue of any year before the war. This surplus lias been really embarrassing. Our tariff Solomons— the friends of protection—have been sorely vexed to know what to do with it. They have been fain to find new sources of expense—new uses for reve nue. Thus back pensions were given, hunting up chances to spend, instead of to economize. ARMY AND NAVY. No one can deny that thev have been liberal in expenditure. The ar my and navy expenses are 50 milliona for a people at peace—3,000 miles off from danger—pursuinga peace policy, and in absolute security, except for , some Indian tribes who ought to be conciliated. We ought to pension the Indian warriors liberally. It would be economy to buy, instead of fight ing them. It would cost less to sup port all tho hostile tribes than to hunt them down. On the civil list, our chief concern, we have no special comment, except this, that it does not suffico (the 1!) millions) to get a civil case tried before the Supreme Court in less than years. Such is tho budget which man- rests the wisdom of our rulers. BLOOD AO MONEY. CROSHfiffT’S IRON WORKS.

It would be well for the country if it were made the duty of the secretary of the treasury to report on taxation as well ns revenue—to make diligent und careful estimates, not merely of what the government gets, but of what the people pay. It should be his business above all things else, to enlighten the public—according to Adam Smith’s second rule, viz: that taxes should be well understood by all the tax-payers. The nominal cost. of collection of 400 millions of actual revenue is not complained of; this is between 3 and 4 per cent. Let that pass. But what leaves the pockets of the people, und what reaches the treasury; out of over a billion of dollars perhaps one- thlrd reaches the treasury. The 1 Read er may question the estimate we pre sent of the amount of taxation*—its full burden. We ought to have full oflldjkl.estimates of it. We are left to the expedient of a complainant whose trustee fails and refuses to giye him information. We must state that he refuses to account for so much, say $10,000, or other large sum. It is his business to inform us and settle with us on the right and exact basis. We say that the whole revenue system violates grossly and enormously Adam Smith’s fourth rule — “that all the tax should reach the treasury, except reasonable expenses for collection.” Tim incidents and waste are vastly greater than tho revenue, and the re- i venue itself vastly in excegs of the needs of government. EXPENDITURES. We come now to the expenditures, three hundred and sixty millions.— The secretary’s report classified them I as ordinary expenses, two hundred and sixty millions; surplus revenue, one hundred millions. Yet the next year, forty additional millions were raised. Verily, we are a people guided by wisdom and mod eration. The items of ordinary ex penditure, are as follows: Interest on debt, 82J millions; pensions, 50 millions; army, etc., 40] millions; navv, etc., 15A millions; miscellaneous, 42 millions; civil expenses, 18 millions; foreign intercourse, 1 million; Indians 6] millions; District of Columbia, 3] millions. The surplus was devoted chieflv to the payment of the princi pal of the national debt, a reserve of 14] millions being made of cash. DKUT. In commenting on these expendi tures, the first item concerns the in terest on the debt, too large a sub ject for us to enter upon now. One remark only, the national debt after payment of 1.000 millions, is virtually unreduced. We have assumed fifteen or twenty years after the war a na tional pension debt, nearly equivalent to the entire payments of all that period. Are we not a wise people? And are not our prayers answered: “Give our senators wisdom?” PENSIONS. The next item in amount and im portance is pensions—50 million dol lars. In the estimates tor tho next year (1882) this item looms up la 70 millions—about . aattta an interest on the puttie Mat for tho The blood of man has much to do in shaping his actions during his pil grimage through this troublesome world, regardless of the amount of present or expectant money in pocket or stored away in bank. It is a con ceded fact that we appear as our blood makes us, and tne purer the blood, the happier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are; hence the oft re peated interrogatory, "how is your ulood?” With pure streams of life- giving fluid coursing through our veins, bounding through our heartH and ploughing through our physical frames, our morals become better, our onstltution stronger, our intellectual faculties more acute and grander, and men, women and children happier, healthier and more lovely.
