PLAIN TALK

It has been said that the end and the teat of good government is the greatest happiness of the greatest number. If this be true, it must be owned that no government extant is satisfactorily con ducted. For observation shows that as a rnle political energy 1b expended upon secondary concerns, while politicians employ all their dexterity m avoiding action upon the great problems which most deeply involve the destinies of the masses. There is to-day m the English* ■peaking countries no each tremendous, far-reaching, vital question as that of drunkenness. In its implications and effects it overshadows all else. It is im> possible to examine any subject connected with the progress, the civilisation, the physical well-being, the religious condi tion of the masses, without encountering this monstrous evil. Ie is at the centre of all social and political mischief. It paralysis benefioent energies m every direction. It neutralises edacatlonal agencies. Ie silences the voice of religion, It bsiflas penal reform. It obstructs political reform. It rears aloft a mass of evlly-inspired power, which at every salient point threatens social aud national advance ; which gives to fgnoronoe and vice a greater potency than intelligence and virtue can command ; which deprives the poor of the advantages of modern progress : which debauches and degrades millions, brotalising and soddening them below the plane of healthy savagery, and filling the centres of population with creatures whose condition almost excuses the immorality which renders them dan gerous to their generation. All these evil*, all this mlsohief, all this destruction of human souls and intellects, go on among us daily and Hourly. There are none so ignorant or inattentive as not to have personal exper ience of some of them : some hearth darkened ,• some famiiy ecattered ; some loving heart broken ; come promising career ruined : eonae deed of shame done. Yet how hard it Is to get this gigantic evil attacked aerionsly. Temperance organisations Jiave, indeed, been figting it for years, ; yet popnlar inirtia has re sisted their utmost tfinrta. hut has all been d6ne that might and should have been dope by the organised agencies that represent the Me>her life? What are d ctrinal points, for example com pared to this evei -present, ever active insidious influence ? What ar,e sectarian differenoeß by the side of tbis national curse ? Can the churches fold their bands and flatter themeelveß that their duties are all fulfilled, while the masses prefer the saloon to the pnlpit, and while sum rules m politics and society 1 Are the higher educational agencies doing all m their power to advance civilisation while they Ignore this obstaclo to progress ? Can any political organisation be said to re present the beat aspiration and the strongest needs of the people, while this abiding source .of misery add crime and poverty is allowed to spread and flourlph? There is needed Bomething of that sacred fire which kindled into m extloguishable heat the zaal of the Abolitionists, ard which compelled the abandonment of human slavery, to rouse the national indignation and abhorrence against this very much greater evil. Nothing short of this, It is to be feared, will impel timeserving politicians to approach m a spirit of esrnettQess a sublet wbioh ia distasteful to them maloly because they think they oannot afford to do without the help and Eupport of the daea who derive from the dei;rada tlon of the foolish and ignorant the means whereby they continue to rule and plunder those whose sagacity is proof againet their flnares " New York Tribune.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange re port for the week ending Friday, the 28th mat. : — •

During the week business has been limited. The weather is now all that can be 'desired for, the crops, and if better E rices were likely to rule farmers wculd aye cause for congratulation. As It is, there does not appear any reaEon for hoping that better values will be obtained, as, if anything, prices here, for wheat especially, ar9 weaker.

Wheat is a shade easier on the week, and holders are more auxioos to sell. Quotations— Tuscan and Pearl, 3s 6d • Huntera', 3a 4d ; second qu»lity. 3s to 3s 2d ; chick wheat, 2a 8i to 2s 10J. Oats —A fair local demand has been noticeable, but bnyera limits prevent any increase m values. Bright milling, 1b l()d to Is lid ; heavy feed, 2 S J)d to h (Ud ; fljarrowbills, la B^d ; stout Danish, Is 7d to la 74d.

Barley.-- MalUr.g is quite ont of the market, ana the only B »les sre Bmall lines for seed at prices from 3a 9d to 4< Q i P,eas and.

From the Soath a few email orders for crctßfoot continue to come to band. Values are nnchangad at 4£d to 4id for good seed, inforior, ?£i to 3d. Potatobs.— N,o regular bnoinegs can bo eaid (9. be doing. On occasional order coastwise comes to band and ia readily tiled at prices equal to 32a to 15s per ton at country stations. acccrdiDg to condition Daiby PKODUCE.^-The want of an outet is Beverly felt, and though heavy shipments of cheese bavo been made to London values have not improved. Quotations are Domlnslly 3d to 3id Butter is Buffeiing probably more than any other «r tide o £ prodace for want of a znorket. W© have no doubt onr aprine wake would realise good value m London, but it is useless sending any but really prime.

We nave been a Firm of Analytical Ohemiets for many, many years and have In the long course of thla time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on solentino formula and absolnte oare and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity i far m advanoe of any other Pharmaoeuti- ) ml Preparations of the day. How buc- L oesaful we have been In this, Is only to , note the extraordinary amount of the . tales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook's New Liver Pills. The season of this de- mand la because we find In Haydook 1 New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra i ordinary combination of concentrated 1 mediolne. The Victories of Science— ; Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing ' — revolutionised the whole system of the • globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- i ter. So, althongh there are countless • Pills used for diseases and claiming muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eollpßed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDootot*, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on*) or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted Its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System Is enfeebled, It li invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Prove cc of Burmah, 8.1.
