The Musical Department of the Ladies Compa-
Mon has ever commanded large share of atten-
ton, and has been looked upon with no little in
terest by its readers, and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is anxious to please. 1t
will continue to be subject of more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose su-
pervision it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music.
Tae Work in General. Of every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expendi-
lures will be literally bestowed as it is the de-
sign of the publisher, with the aid of his contribu
tors and the advice of his friends to make the La
dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and
accuracy of its typography, the variety and high
tone of its literary articles, the quality and value
of its music, and the unequal splendor of its pic
toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar-
terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintain the superior-
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtained
For five years he has steadily pursued course of
improvement, and he fatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities such to give the work eminent
advantages over ali other publications.
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies' Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Letnes and the Fine
Arts: and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal to any other
extant The fattering and general testimonials
of nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States and in fact, many on the other side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support Of
the public generally. There is no work that gives
its readers such great return for their money.

BARD QUESTIONS FOR THE FEDS

We find in the New Era the following guess
tons addressed to the feds, which will, we
think, puzzle them right smartly to satisfaction.
We hope our Democratic friends will put these
questions to the feds, and insist upon full fair
and implicit answers:
Why did real estate, which cost in 1917 ST.
500, 900, bring only 100000 | in 1919 Was i,
The want Of U. 5. Bank.
Why was it that -four sold for from 12 to l3
dollars per bar ell in 1917, and only, 4, so in
1919 Was it Gen. Jackson 'tinkering with
the currencyl"
Why were our Imports sixty millions more
than out exports IN 1857 Was it the "specie
humhug2" E@S
Why were thousand and tens of thousands
thrown out of employment in 1918 and 1919 Z
Was it the "Sub-Treasury
Why was it that in 1916 and 1917 wild and
reckless speculations were engaged in, and wan
ton extravagance and luxury the order of the
dayl-Was it the want of paper money?
Why was it in 1918, 10, 90 and 81, our
hanks, our merchants aud manufacturers from
Maine to Georgia, were all involved in com-
mon bankrup,cy9 Was it caused by the ''ad.
ministration Of Martin Van Buren?
Why were the exchanges more deranged in
1918, and the three subsequent years. than they
were before or have heen sin,e. Was it the
'want Of crest regulatorl"

CEN. HARRISON AND A U. 8. BANK.

General Harrison in his speech, delivered at
the Dayton Convention in Ohio, on the 10Th OF
September, endeavors to smooth the way for
the scheme of q national bank Sometime ago
he uuIuckily declared that Congress had not by
the Constitution the power to charter national
bank. In his Dayton speech, he explains away
this declaration by the help of an it. "There
is much virtue in your IT," We quote from the
report of the speech ofGenerDl Harrison as we
find ii in the New York Express, copied from
the Cincinnati Gazette. .n.s,. =.
''My opinion Of the power of Congress to
charter National Bank remains unchanged. |.
There is not in the Constitution any express
grant of power for such purpose, and il cOul
never be constitutional to exercise that power.

gress could not be carried into effect, without

tuaL way by means Of bank, then General
Harrison is 10 favor of United States Bank.
This If, this magical particle, does the busi-
ness effectually. The moment you admit the
Intervention Of an If, all the difficulty is got o-
yer. General Harrison will be surrounded by
men who will tell him that there is not the least
doubt the "most effectual way" to collect and
disburse the revenue IS by means Of bank.
His prime counsellor Mr.. Webster, is decided.
ly IN favor of national bank as the great fiscal
engine of the government. He told his hear
ers so directly and plainly in his speech at Sar-
ratOga; though in the report of that speech his
words were changed to significant aIIusidn to
some important fiscal measure which his would
not name, but which he said it was the duty of
the govern nent to adopt. Mr.. Webster will
persuade his venerable pupil in Eve minutes, not
only that the "most etfectual way" to collect
and keep the public money is to charter bank,
but that the success Of the whig ticket is token
that the the people of the United States have set
their hearts upon the establishment of bank,
and that therefore he may dismiss all scrnpies
about its cons;tutionality.~ If it should happen
that Harrison is elected, we shall not be SUR
prised to see the question broached in his very
first message to Congress.
Indeed the question between the two parties
is neither more nor less than this question Of d
national bank. The government must either
keep it's own money, or employ bank to keep
il. The wing Earty insist that to keep 1t in the
hands OF the government is mconVenlent, un-
safe, and source of dangerous patronage.
The alternative is then bank, and this para
graph, in the speech of General Harrison, is ev
identity designed to let his party know that he
is ready for national bank whenever tho are.
