CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

fINHIS has been the secret principle Of too many
i Of the wholesale dealers In Teas up to this time,
and they have practised the most shameful imposition
on the Country Merchant without any fear OF detec-
ton. But new era in the Tea Trade has come and
Pekin Tea Company claims the honor Of its intro
ducton. They were the first to raise the banner Of
Reform, on which il has inscribed the simple words:
"PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES. y
A complete revolution has been the consequence
Let consumers Of Tea everywhere look at what we
have DONE
LIST. We Were the first TO send them Teas that
used To be called too good for them before.
I'd. We have driven out the market vast amount
Of trash aud introduced better class Of Teas than
has ever yet been sold Importers of Tea often come
us to get for their own use, and for their friends
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
81. We have reduced prices mote Than rs per CT,
both in Black and Green Teas. The wholesale
grocers say we running the trade and call US
humbugs. This we have done already, and now
zee what we are ready to do.
LIST. We will sell Teas by the single chest, half
chest or IA pound box, at the same prices that
wholesale grocers pay 10 the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
81. The wholesale grocers allow only l3 or at
most IA pounds tare to the half chest This is a
cheat. We allow, iu most instances, Is and 10
lbs. tare on the same
3d. We hereby undertake to sell every kind Of
Tea, from sir to t,oelpe CENTS per pound cheaper
than the wholesale grocers do.
How can we do thisl asks the country merchant
This is our answer We are content with seven
per cent profit instead Of IS and so per cent, la
wholesale grocer
We deserve the thanks Of the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated Let
them come to the Warehouse Of The Pekin Tea
Company, and compare samples of Tea they get
elsewhere; and if they buy bad Teas then at high
prices it is their own fault. So
An English importer lately boosted 10 US that he
could make more money by sending bad Teas TO the
New York market, than on good Teas. We are
resolved to overthrow this Fraud and now call upon
agents in every town in the United States to come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company and we pledge ourselves, that if in six
months they do not sell more Tee than the oldest
and largest dealers in the town, we will give them
our Tea without charge. This is plain English and
cannot be misunderstood. We appeal for testimo-
mony to The immense success of orr Agents in any
part of the United States.
IfP Agents wanted in every town in the'United
Statos for the sale Of these Teas, by which they
make money, and confer benefit upon the Public
by supplying the pure article.

Oh Thou, who art the soul Of mysteries
Whose presence flleth up the far confines
OF that unbounded land, Infnity
Who holdeth in thy hand the universe,
And tuneth all the spheres to harmony,
Grant us conceptions worthy Of thy greatness.
The feeble mind of man, how'd down to dust
Clogg'd with dull sense, and full of earthbom
hopes, ~ 4
Cannot soar up to hold commune with thee.
Thou knowest all the secrets of creation:
The smallest nook is ever clear defined; D..
And unseen myriads, blent with azure air,
Which. mans weak eye hath never yet discerned
Up 10 the seraphs darting round through space :
And yet thy creatures comprehend thee not.
The great Archangels veil their blinded eyes
To Uriel, who dwelleth in the sun,
Before thy face. Eternity's pure lamp!
Gabriel cannot fathom the vast cycle
Wherein revolves thy throne. His wondrous age
A babbling infants, when compared to thine.
Thou art riddle to all things but myself; r.
For who can be historian TO God
Who can cleave the frozen path of chaos,
When nought existed but dismal blank,
And thou, the uncreated, vert alone
The rayless, cherries, monarch Of all space?
What an enigma to o'erwearied thought!
Fountain of all majesty-all goodness! ~
The one AM! Intellects vast centre!
Whose span Of life is long Eternity;
Whose home, that shoreless sea, Infinity.
The hosts of heaven--the hosts Of neither worlds
All feel thy glory, measured out in love;
And yet the bounteous giver is unknown,
Save through the presence of his holy works.
Father Supreme if thou vert blotted out
Of that vast concourse drinking life from thee,
How would the drear, the horrid void, be filled
The uncreated locked in the arms of death
My soul shudders at such a monstrous thought;
My tortured fancy sinks beneath the weight
OF this unnatural, terrific scene. .g>r
Where now is dwelling harmony and truth,
One universal throb of black despair
Would be the dumb language Of creation.
Who could lead forth Arcturus in his might
Or boldly gnide the clustering Pleiades'
The stars now war, and chafe themselves to dust;
The pillars Of Gods throne soon fall, pecemeal;
And Immortality puts on her shroud
Bow down, ye stellar globes, andpraise the Lord J!
Bow down, ye Alps, and shake your snowy locks
Before the Power which summoned you from
nought .. .'..."

to our commerce, says the Cincinnati Gazette,
show that we are having an alarming increase
in the imports Of foreign goods, equal to thirty
millions, and that in seven months the enure
sum has reached $55,Sl9. 949-equal to about
one hundred millions per annum. This does
not include very large sum in the warehouses,
az to which the Bankers Magazine says, that
80 under the public ware-housing system lately
adopted the public stores are grooming with
merchandise from abroad, the results OF Foreign
Labor" '.. ...
The unsettled state Of the imes-the Exc
cu,ive violations Of The Constu'lon-the war
with Mexico~-the accidental demands in for
eien countries for our agricultural products,
appear 10 be changing the steady and healthy
course OF business into one of uncertain specu-
alton, from which much evil may result.
The foreign demand for products has stimu la
ted speculation, and we learn from the BAN
kers' Magazine, that the Banks of New York,
under the influx Of specie, the increase Of for
eign shipments, and incoming of goods. had,
in ninety days, increased their loans in amount
ten per cent. and their issues fourteen per
cent. a .- Fl. ...l,' .r ....
With the increase OF foreign goods we do
not obtain even corresponding increase Of
revenue: for we have ga Tariff winch re-
aures the importation Of one hundred millions
oil goods to produce the same revenue which
seventy two millions produced in ls45--."
With the prospect Of an abundant harvest in
Europe, we necessarily must look for falling
off in this foreign demand; with this injury to
mechanical labor in our own country. we will
not have an equal home demand and these,
with our increased product. will probably
cause great fall in price. &. ..-
AT the same time that we are thus, SO rapid.
ly creating foreign debt, at the rate of
S55,sI9, 949, in sepen months, we are not in a
healthy state otherwise We are engaged in a
Foreign war, Of unknown continuance

specie, TO be paid in the same foreign country
to meet the expenses. ltappears BY the books
of the Treasury Department Of July |, ls47,
that we have already created domestic debt

When this war will be--can be, ended, is not

country is as stated and the prospect is SO
bad whilst we are, by imports making a
foreign debt Of over .JJtyyire millions. and a
domestic national debt Of forty millions, does il
