"What Pre to be thankful for the
foodness knows. What any one has to
e thankful for is past my comprehen?
sion. Here is this miserable old turkey
gorged day, after day to repletion, putting
on day after day the most unbearable
airs, strutting and puffing, picking up all
of the choicest bits, always taking his
own share, and never forgetting to job
his neighbors; here he is, his brilliant
bead laid lew, his musical gobble forever
silenced, his georgeons plumage flung to
tbe four winds of heaven, and himself
destined for a Thanks-giving dinner!
He imagined himself one of the chraen?
his master's favorite! the very autocrat
of the barn-yard.;
"Now it seems to me that the men and
.? women of this world are somewhat, in
their own opinion, like this defunct
feathered biped. The very elite of crea-.

Betsy Brown, be thankful for the hard

"Boast turkey and plum pudding, bells

keeping time to the. clanking of chains
which bind us more surely to our misery
than was Prometheus bound."

"Yes, coming, coming. Was: there

"Oh, Betsy, Betsy, can't you come?

and we are dying to see it."
All of this with a sudden open ing of
the door, hurried words and immediate
arit.
"Alotter.andtome!"
"Yes, yes, Betsy," tke door reopening
ajain?"and a man has written it." ?1
Door clooed ag?n.
. "A man write a letter to.me/ Betsy
Brown,- spinster! Well, well, that ia
audacious, certainly," and Betsy Brown
laughed a dimple; into each7 of her rosy
cheeks.
"But, Betsy, I say, Betsy'!" (tho door
ajar again,) "it isn't an ordinary letter.
Now, "don't drop down all of a heap like
poor Mrs. Simkms did.when thej. brought
her husband in dripping as a rai:, ;ind

always does, for really there isn't s.tjrop

;; \ "Like a man," says Betsy Brown brave?
ly, bracing her broad baci: againut the:
pantry door, and planting h ;r Feet firmly,
"The letter, my dear-?*''
"Don't say my dear, that's om luo?s.
It sounds as though yon were preparing
me for some terrible calamity. Say Bet
sj. Loud and sharp, too. Make'it
sound like a tonic. Is it nerve that I
want? Just box my ears Smartly, too.
Don't purr, Masda, don't."
"Well, then, Betsy," the words spoken
ahrilly close to Betsy Brown's ear, "it is
Ata writing."
All of the red faded "from Betey'?;: face,
leaving it white as the wall, and the
brown eyes looked fairly black with the
new, wild expression that came into them.
"I ar.y, Betsy - Betsy ! You ars not
going to faint, yon that lave lived so
bravely! Come, com*, old girl, remem?
ber bow well you have done.. Remcm ber
what the world will say.-' Wouldn't^it
gossip weil if it picked your secret from
you?"
"Hash, hush, his writing?let me Ihink.
He didn't die then. He deserted me. I
mourned him as Rachel mourned her
children. I never have replaced him.
In all the wide world there could be no
one to me what he had been. Let me
read his letter."
Dear Bess : Thank God that you live.
I am home at last, my own, own darling..
Years ago I came?came near to you but
to hear a false story cf your proving un?
true to your sailor boy, giving yourself
to another. Then came long days and
months of hopeless, heart-broken wan?
dering in stntnge lands, then yean-of
bitter servitude to a savage tribe on a
wild foreign shore, at last release. I
have been true to you, and you have had
tbe conrage to'-wait for me; Oh, child,
child, what I have suffered in tho long,
slow years as they crawled by me! Wait?
ing, oh so patiently, for a reprieve,* ever
dreaming of my Bess, of my little dar?
ling, of my little wife. May I come to?
night? I hear your glad answer, and
will rarely see.you. Yours, as ever,
- Eobebt.
"LittleBess! Little darling! Little
wife!" said Betsy Brown, with white lips.
. "I was sixteen then; and Robert was but
two years older.- He is young yet at
thirty.eight. Oh, Robert, Robert, it can
never be 1" "Little Bess, little darling,
little wife," she repeated, with a tender
lingering of the voice on the words;
then suddenly the old ironical tone re?
turned, and she added: "Little Bess, in?
deed ! Poor Robert, poor old dear, I re-,
member," and a pink blush stole over
Betsy Brown's handsome face. "I re?
member how he lifted me up in his-arms
and held me close to him, and how he
kissel me good-bye" over and over again.
Oh, dear, we-were twj very foolish peo?
ple ; but, dear me, that's years and years
ago, and I'm heavier now. Robert
would laugh at the very idea of calling
me little Bess. He's coming to-night.
Let me see, what will I wear? Betsy
Brown, are yon demented ? I hope your,
friends will incarcerate yon in an asylum
before yon have inflicted an irreparable
injury upon some unsuspecting fellow
citizen. What will yon wear, indeed?
Bine Is very becoming to yon, is it uot?
So ethereal for.your sylph-like figure;
and yet white is considered exceedingly
appropriate for a miss. You have only
one dress, Betsy Brown, and yon know
how you looklin that. You will wear
yoar old black silk, your old 'point lace
collar, with a little lace at your wrists.
Be sensible, Betsy Brown, if you are old;
second childhood y comes soon enough.
Let as not have any hot-house forcings."
"Robert is coming to-night." That is
what the miserable parrot said from "iis
perch in the kitchen, with a wicked leer
in its one good eye, for the cat; had
scratched the other past redemption, but
not only did the parrot say "Robert is
coming to-night," but tho tea-kettle took
op tho words and sang them over and
over, and the clock ticked them, and old
Pete sawed them out of a hickory log in
the shed, and tbe cricket, chirped
them; and the torkey roasting in the
oven emitted them with bursts of savory
steam, and the big plum, pudding bob
bing up and down in the kettle bubbled
th*<n ; in fact, the whole atmosphere for
miles seemed vibrating the ;ri*ad words
that were coursing through Betsy Brown's
headj "Robert is coming torhight."
Roast turkey and cranberry sauce, \he
very guardians of American liberties;
who'd care for thanksgiving without
tbem ? And in all the width and breadth
of the land there--wus no-supper table
that could boast of a finer, browner, more
palatable bird than the one gracing the
table in the borne of Betsy Brown.
"I tell you, Manda," says Betsy au?
thoritatively; "I will have it so. Robert
uhall no', be Kidnapped again. He's bad
?lav*ry enough.; Only think, he's a boj

would. Why she was a silly old woman*
to think of any other course.

the young beauties; he holds out his'

"W^ked Bessie. After all the years
of my waiting. And then," and he look?
ed at her admiringly; "there are none

Betsy; Brown's cheeks grew scarlet as
the flower in her hair, but the beautiful
smile about her mouth betrayed how
glad she was that she was yet lovely in
his eyes.. And how happy she was.
Only this morning she had been so utter?
ly wretched. What a rosy-hued.gleam
had fallen athwart her world. The bells

Africa's Superstitions.
Mr. Faul E Du Chaillu lectured Friday
night :\t Association Hall, New York, on
the " Witchcraft and Snpersitions of Af?
rica." I am going to take yon again, said
he, into the jungle.of Equatorial Africa,.
Stanley met that jungle at the head wa
: ters of the Congo; he met there the can?
nibals I raw and the dwarfs I discovered.
And what a jungle it is 1 At the end of
each cky's journey I ma'de no negro could
tell me where that vast forest ended.
There are greit dangers there, and some?
times one has to fight the people. It is
not yery- pleasant to light; it was not very
pleasant for Stanley but he had to fight
?or be frilled.
* The people are scattered in great tribes,
divided into clans and the clans into fam?
ilies, the chiefs and the old men making
.the laws. Three institutions are every?
where prevalent?polygamy, slavery and
witchcraft. It is wonderful how these
people love to get married. They marry
all the time and never get tired of it
Some of them marry as old as eighty-five
or ninety years, -just as"some of us do at
'home, yon know. .[Laughter.] The larg?
est number of wives I have seen belong?
ing to one mau was about three hundred,
and when I asked him bow many chil?
dren he had. he said between six and
eight hundred. Two hundred, more or
Teas, didn't seem to trouble him at all.
The wives are not slaves, but their hus?
bands buy them when they are three or
?four yean old from tHeir fathers; thatls
a sort of dowry. Polygamy is also a po?
litical institution. The tribes are always
aV war, and hence a man tries to get as
many wives as he can from the surround?
ing'tribes so as to.have friends among
them. They have a great abhorrence of
blood relationship, and no man is allowed
'to take a wife of his own clan.
The ir^t curse of .that, country is its
superstitions, and it is very hard to get
at the bottom facts about their religious
belief. They have two names which rep?
resent our ideas of God and of the devil.
'The* "devil is the source of all evil and
witchcraft. ' When a person 'is sick he is
bewitched by some one, and the sorcerer
or sorceress has to bo killed. The doc?
tors point them out, and they have to
-.wallow poison to prove their innocence.
This poison is the root of a tree called
"bundo." belonging to the strychnine
order, but these doctors take it and do
not die. Here, if a man sees the new
moon over his right shoulder, or his left,
it-Is lucky or unlucky; but there it 13
unlucky if he sees toe new moon at all,
' and on the day of the new moon "nobody
dare go out of bis hut. The queen of
witchcraft lives in the moon, and the
people of the world are the insects on
which witchcraft feeds, and when witch?
craft is very hungry she sends the plague
and kills more people; Those who have
any connection with the spirit in the
moon are women and must be in a trance.
The people are honest in their beliefs,
but of course there is jugglery among
them. Among many tribes cannibalism
-exists, but I think it is a sort of religious
feast, as they do not kill people purposely
except prisoners of war. . vs among the
Indians, they have no mercy on those
taken in war. I made inquiries about
' this, cannibalism; I wanted to know
which were the best eating, women or
men. They all agree that the women
were best. They didn't tell me anything
new, for I knew that before. [Laughter.J
.Their war dance is perfectly terrible.
They cover themselves all over with war
paint and with clay that has been satura?
ted; with the decayed flesh and brains
from the heads of their dead warriors,
which they always kept in a particular
house in every village. Then they have
a dance, and when morning comes each
man cuts his hand in several places and
lets the blood flow into a large wooden
i dish, and they rub themselves with that
blood .ind then go to war.
The most difficult thing the missiona?
ries baye to do is to bring themselves to
a level of thinking with these people.
Some of the negroes are very fierce.
; They would not be so bad if the traders j
did not bring them such an amount of
I spirits. It is laughable sometimes to see
I the missionaries on the deck of a ship
and the barrels of rum under, the deck,
both going to the same place. They are
kind to the missionaries, but you know
when one gets a little civilized he gets
i selfish, ana they know that where the
I missionary comes the trader will follow,
I and they like trade. Stanley has made a
[ great, grand journey. If you will look
at the labors of that man you will see it
I is perfectly marvelous. And how quickly
; he did it I He explored the lakes dis
; covered by Sneke, Burton, Baker and
Livingstone, followed the Congo river
fast any amount of rapids, and fought
is way through to the coast. _ Living
[ stone was a great man, but his labor;
were in South Africa. Stanley just went
right through under the equator and in
that deadly climate where the natives
had been spoiled and made fierce by the
slave trade. I think the journeys of
Speke and Livingstone and Stanley and
Cameron are the finest journeys that ever
were made in modern or olden times.
KIXLEB ANI) EATEN.
A Week at Sea without Food?Tbe Flesh
Cat from the Body of a Murdered Sailor
to Sustain Lire.
The narrative of the sufferings of the
crew of the schooner Sallie M. Steelman,
from Charleston for Baltimore, who were
brought to New York Monday afternoon
on the schooner Speedwell, is so horrible
in detail that it sounds more like a chap?
ter from a sensational sea-novel than a
Stern reality.
The captain of the Speedwell reports
?that he found tho-S-celmun nearly water?
logged, but making steerage way, under
fore and maintopsail, northeast of the
Bermuda Islands. She was flying the
American flag, Union down; as a signal
Of. distress. He sent his first mate; H.
0. Sawyer, to her, and he took away all
on board. He reported that nothing
[movable was left.or, deck, add that ? the
men were hardly able to walk. Every
I article of food in the Steeiman had been
I consumed eight days previously. The
remains of a man were found, from which
parts of the flesh had been cut. Some
of the flesh so removed was found in a
[.barrel with some salt. This, it was ex
, plained.to Sawyer-was done to prevent
it from spoiling. The captain, who was
wasted with hunger, told the - mate that
two colored men of the crew had quar?
relled, and one had killed the other in
self-defence. The body was immediately
cut np. and eaten, all hands helping to do
it. The six survivors speedily recovered
their health on board the Speedwell.
THE STORY OF THE VOYAGE.
, The schooner Sallie M. Steelman, of]
Som'ers' Point, N. J., left Charleston, S.
C, on tbe 17th of December, bound for
Baltimore, with a cargo of phosphate
rock. The officers were Capt. Somers
Higby, Mate B. Somers, and the crew
consisted"of the cook, Sylvester B. Her?
bert, Dave Barrett, and three colored
men, George Hicks, Walter Sampson and
George Seaman. For the first fortnight
the .weather was quite mild and the winds
light arid variable, so that they made lit?
tle headway'in their voyage. On the
afternoon of December 30, when about
twenty miles to the southeast of Cape
Hatteras, they were caugh', in a terrific
gale from the northwest, and were lite?
rally at Its mercy for seventy hours. Du?
ring that time they were driven off tbe
land in a terrific seaway that stove in
their boat and washed away everything
'.hat was movable. Their gaffs were car?
ried away and their sails split to ribbons.
On the 3rd of January the storm abated
slightly but the westerly gales still pre?
vailed, ?.ud as the schooner was helpless
she drifted out to sea. The sails were
patched up but they proved of litt le use,
as they could not stand the storm, and
there was nothing left for tbe crew bu t to
patieu tly await the abatement of the gale.
Day by; day passed away and still the
wind bowled through the rigging and the
Unfortunate seamen were tossed about
the ocec.n without the slightest encour?
aging prospect of any relief from their
perilous position. .
As if to add to the horror of their sit?
uation The captain was at laal forced to
reduce ,the rations, and- on the morning
of the 23d of January they consumed the
Sast of the provisions. Towards evening
of that day the pangs of hunger began
to be felt by these suffering men, and the
vessel was searched from stem to stern
for any particles of food that might bave
been hidden away." It was- almost a
fruitless labor, and several of the crew
began to despair. On tbe following day
they subsisted on coffee, which proved
very grateful and warmed them up for
"he time being: but tbe weut of solid
food began to tell on the colored portion
of the crew. On that night, January
.24, tbe wind increased to a gale from the
northwest, and the unfortunate schooner
labored so heavily that her decks started
and she sprang aleak. A'new duty now
devolved on theso weak and starving
men, as it became necessary to keep the
pumps going air the time to keep the
water down. They all took Slieir turus
for an?tBer'couple of day*, and then the
colored seamen.. George Hicks, Walter
Sampson and George Seamen, gave op
from exhaustion, and left the captain,
mate, cook and seamen to work the ship
and man the pumps. The storm abated
somewhat on tbe 28th of January, and.
and the schooner was able to get np a
little sail, but their prospects of reach?
ing port were very meagre, as they had
baen driven several hundred miles out
to sea.
"WE MUST EAT." .
The seven human beings on board this
schooner had changed fearfully during
the past few days, as their eyes had
sunken^ in their sockets, their cheeks
werewan and hollow and they wer$ suf?
fering, from.antense exhaustion. The
cook still kept up a fire in the galley and
served out not coffee, which was eagerly
drank, always affordingtemporary relief j
through warmth to the stomach. * It was
not coffee, however, for which thes.a un?
fortunate creatures were craving, and, al?
though no one dared to make a sugges?
tion, there were strange and dreadful
thoughts in their half crazed minds.
This condition of affairs continued until
the morning of the 30tb, when a tragedy
took place, which saved tho execution- of I
?. project to which they had been almost
driven. On the 29th of January the col?
ored man, George Seaman, became al?
most delirious, and would occasionally
leave his berth and wander around the
decks half mad. Early on the morning
of the 30th he turned out of his bunk
and came up on deck. He first met the
captain, and, after talking in an incohe?
rent way, threatened to shoot him. The
captain backed away from him, and then
Seaman went to tbe forecastle. When
he was inside he called on Walter Samp?
son, another colored man, and told him
to get up or he would shoot him in his
bunk. Sampson got up fend put on his
things and backed toward the door, but
before be got there Seaman put his hand
in his pocket to pull his pistol, and Samp?
son shot him. The body lay there for
some little time without any of the six
survivors venturing to make a suggestion
as to what disposition should be made of j
it; but finally the subject was cautiously
approached, and one of the men said that
as the man was dead, he, fcr one, intend?
ed to profit by the accident and try and
save his own life. He cut off a portion
of the body and took it into the galley,
where he boiled it in a pot. The others
had still a horror of feasting on the
body of one of their messmates; but
later in the afternoon hunger prevailed
and the cock fried some small pieces in
a pan, which were eaten with great rel?
ish. There appears to be a slight dif?
ference in opinion as to the flavor of the
meat, as in giving their descriptions of [
the repast one of the colored men said
he would not know it from mutton, while
tbe cook thought it rather resembled
beef. At all events, it proved a wonder?
ful stimulant, as it revived the exhausted
men and enabled them to assist in tbe
management of the vessel.
THE RESCUE.
The 31st of January is a day that will
be remembered by the crew of the Sallie
M. Steelman for the rest of their lives, as
it brought them deliverance from a hor?
rible death. Early in the morning they
sighted the schooner Speedwell, and al?
though for some little time they suffered
all the agonies of suspense in tho fear
that their signals of distress would not
be seen, at lost their minds were set at
rest as the gallant schooner bore down
toward them, and in n short time a boat
was alongside and relief at band. The
sudden change from the gloom of despair
to good quarters and plenty of food al?
most set the sufferers crazy, and forced
Capt. Keene, of the Speedwell, to exert
great caution in resuscitating their ex?
hausted frames. They were oniy given j
a little nourishment at a time, and as I
they began to regain their strength thejt
were allowed to lend a hand in working,
the schooner. When they arrived i?'
New York they looked in pretty good
condition, but some of them have re?
ceived such a scare that they say they
have made their last trip to sea.
the story of the shooting,
as told by the colored seaman, Sampson,
to a Reporter, was as follows:
Reporter. I want you to tell me all
about your trouble with the man you
shot.
Sampson. I shot him in self-defence.
Reporter. How did it occur ?
Sampson. The man George, I do not
knov7 his other name, got up very early
on the morning of the day before the
Speedwell rescued us. He halloed atme
to get up and come out on deck, and he
acted so wild I felt scared of him. .T got
up and put on my clothes. He was
standing by his berth, and bad his pistol
in the breast pocket of his jumpjr.?
While I was finishing dressing, he shout?
ed at me again, and said if I did not get
out quick he'd shoot me. I got scared,
and began to back out toward the door,
and just as I got there he put his hand
in his pistol pocket, and I, thinking he
was going to shoot, pulled out my pistol
and shot him. I. was done in self
defence.
Reporter. Did he pull out his pistol
before you shot?
Sampson. I cannot say, but from the
way he put his hand in his pocket and
from what he had said I thought he was
foing to shoot, or^glse I would not have
red.
The crew remained on board the
schooner Speedwell last night, and some
provision will probably be made for them
to-day.
the captain's account.
The Captain of the Steelman says: "If
the negroes bad not got into the quarrel
and killed one of themselves, probably
they would have attacked us. We had
no pistols. That afternoon we cut a piece
off of the fleshy part of the leg and
broiled it on the fire. What we did not
want we put in a barrel with som 3 salt,
because we did not want to run the risk
of having another man shot. The rest
of the body we afterwards buried with
proper ceremonies. I ate a piece as large
as my two fingers only. It was handed
to me as it was taken off the fire, and I
covered it on both sides with mustard. I
tasted nothing but the mustard, but that
night I felt bad effects from it. I resolved
that I would eat no more of it. I don't
think any of us was in his right mine
on January 30. I am pretty sure I was
not. It seemed to me as if my blood had
stopped flowing. I felt throughout my
whole body just as a man's foot feels
when it is asleep. The next day the
Speedwell rescued us. The schooner
went to the bottom probably the night
we left her."
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks.
New York, Feb. 2,1878.
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks has tele?
graphed the Herald a reply to August
Belmont's letter, published in the same
journal Jan. SO. Mr. Hendricks says:
The purpose of his (Belmont's) letter
was to show that the. views attributed to
me on the silver question are inconsis?
tent with opinions heretofore expressed,
and therefore it can nor be correctly re?
ported. The report in the Cincinnati
Commercial wa? correct. I very much
desire to be considered consistent, but I
would rather be certain I am right than
consistent upon this question. I think I
have1 bee a consistent. Mr, 'Belmonfc
quotes'tne as holding that since the act
of March 18,1869, the bonded debt must
be paid i 1 .gold, as contradistinguished
from paper or silver. In that he is not
correct. The bill to strengthen the peo?
ple's credit was pending in the Senate in
February, 1869. I made an argument
against th 3 section which held the faith
of the Government to the payment of
the bonds in coin. I opposed it because
I thought that the contract allowed the
payment of the principal of the five
twenty bonds to be made in Treasury
notes.
Mr. Be! motu takes one sen tence to show
that I held that the effect of the measure
would.be to pay irr gold. Had Mr. Bel*
motit read more carefully he would have
seen that I read' the section containing
these words: "That the faith of the Uni?
ted State*) is solemnly pledged to the
payment in coin or its equivalent," and
that I then said: "It will .cause the re?
moval of doubts, and make the' law to
read that .be deb: shall be paid in coin.
That is the effect of this section." Upon
that construction I made my argument
against the section, not as in controversy
whether payment should be in silver as
against gold, but whether it might be in
paper as against cjin. It was not ques?
tioned ia. that debate thnt silver was coin,
and thnt' the debt would be payable in
silver, whether that section passed or did
not pass. The section, substantially as
I re.id it in the Senate, became law nine?
teen days afterwards. Its force and effect
did not become a question of political
controversy in Indiana in 1872, bnt it did
enter into the discussion of 1374. In
the Democratic Convention of that year
a resolution was passed declaring the
5-20 bonds payable in greenbacks. I
presided over that convention, and as I
could not "give that resolution my support
I took occasion at the first public meet?
ing which Taddressedrin Indianapolis to
say so, and to give my reasons. I thought
then, as I belice now, that after the
faith of the nation was pledged to pay?
ment in ccin, we could not pay in Treas?
ury notes; that pu rchasera of bonds after
that date took them relying upon that
pledge, acd that we are .bound by it.
That was my argument before the peo?
ple. Neither my hearers nor I thought
of the etueation whether payment could
be male in silver. It was not then
known to myself, and I suppose not to
one of the audience, that' the silver dol?
lar bad been discarded. . _
Mr. Belfliotit refers to that address, and
to the use of the word "gold" in it, in?
stead of the word "coin," as committing
me to the payment of the debt in gold,
and not in silver. The only question
then discussed was the right to pay in
greenbacks. The right to pay in silver
was not then questioned or considered in
Indiana. In the address which I made
as President of the convention, two
months before, my opinions upon the
currency were somewhat fully expressed.
I then said: "We cannot too strongly
express the importance of the policy
that shall restore uniformity of value to
all the money of the country, so that it
shall be always and readily converted.
That gold aud silver are the real standard
of value, is a cherished Democratic sen?
timent, not now nor hereafter to be aban?
doned." I certainly could not have uacd
that language in the campaign of If 74,
and known that ailver was no longer
money.
A more important question made by
Mr. Beimont is that the argument which
excludes the payment of the'public debt
in treat urr notes under the act of March,
1869, applies with a greater force under
the act of 1873, which excludes the sil?
ver dollar from the coinage. I think
thnt is not correct. The act of 1869 was
to remove any doubt, to settle the con?
flicting interpretations of the laws under
which the public obligations were con?
tracted, and to pledge the faith of the
United Slates to the payment of such
obligation in coin. After full conside?
ration, it became law. It was soon fol?
lowed by the act to authorize the refund?
ing of the national debt. That law provi?
ded that $1,500,000,000 of bunds, which it
authorized, should be redeemable in coin
of the pre-tent standard value. Because
the act of 1869 was a solemn pledge of
my country, made by competent author?
ity, I felt that it was binding, so binding,
indeed, that it could only bo repealed to
the prejudice of those to whom it was
given.
Why and wherein is the coinage act of
1873 more sacred and irrepealable than
the coinage act of 1834, which it modi?
fied ? Does the power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof belong to the
class of powers that, once exercised, be?
come exhausted 7 If that were, so, the
power bad been exhausted before the
passage of the act of 1873. Or is it the
right of the public or private creditor ei?
ther to say to Congress, "You shall not |
exercise tha constitutional power of coin?
ing money and regulating the -value
thereof, because by changing the stan?
dard you may change the value of invest?
ments ?" We have not recognized such a
rule. There would be force in such a
clause under the act of 1870, which pro?
vides for the payment of bonds in coin of |
the present standard value.
The act of 1873 contains no pledge nor
contract. It is legislation under the con?
tinuing power of Congress, and subject
to repeal or amendment, like any other
law passed uuder the same .power. It is
uot, therefore, in my judgment a question
of public faith, but one of expediency
only. Being such, it 3eems to me the
part of wisdom to have some regard to
the condition of financial distress that
exists in the country, and to the dis?
turbed state of the public mind that per?
vades a largo portion of the country.
Any change in the coinage is always a
delicate and important work, ard should
be made only after the most careful con?
sideration of all the interests of the coun?
try. ?
Should silver money be restored?
I have thought so. The pledge of 1869
of payment in coin, and the assurance in
the act of 1870 of payment in coin at the
then standard value, would seem to au?
thorize, almost to require it. Compliance
with a contrnct cannot be a breach of]
public faitb. Our country is u large
producer of silver. The quality of money
is important to its value. I think that
when restored, silver will approach and
perhaps reach gold in value. But should
experience prove that, it must remain
below gold, because of its greater pro?
duction, Congress has ample powers to
provide against any evils likely to fol?
low.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives-Stillingia,Man
drake, Yellow Dock?with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alterative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con?
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alterative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
