Now, this is the beginning Of an interes-
ting fight between the two factions of the
Republican party for the supremacy in this
Congressional district. Bradep has been
removed simply because he belonged to the
radical school As an Cficer he has teen
faithful and competent, and has given gen.

must be exclusively 90 political grounds,

fed. Though he is most bitter hater of

zen and neighbor, and We have NJ doubt

est pleasure to add my testimony TO the nm
rivaled exellences OF Grover & Baker.
Sewing Machine. 1t is. in nv opinion. by
far the most valuable of auy L have tried
The thorough operation Of is most eesy
and simple and its unObtrusive and ouiet
movements are very greatful 10 a wearv
head. The work when done is wonderfuI
in its strength. More than two thirds of
all the sewing done in my family for the
last two years has been done by Grover &
Bakers Machine, and have never had a
garment rip OF need mending, except those
rents which frolicsome boys will make in
whole cloth, and for them your machine
has, suppose, no remedy but patch.
The seam OF the under side, sometimes
represented as an objection to the Grover
q Baker Machine, is. think, only the ey.
idence of unskilful operation.
Honestly approaching the excellences of
your machine as fully as have here stated
could give it no higher praise than the
fact that when my only daughter married
gave her this long-tried household friend
depriving myself of Its services to tighten
her first assumption of household duties

nenenta or Adverti.,n-

There is an impression amongst busis
ness men that advertising in newspaper
is Of little advantage. Now this is a very
great mistake. We have been connected
with the press great many years, and We
have always noticed that those merchants,
mechanics, or professional men who adver.
tised seldom failed of suocess.
1t lisa mistaken notion to suppose that
Advertising is OF no avail. The truth is,
the man who advertises literally and prop.
ely. neEe- fails tot Increase bis business a
large per cent. The idea that money ex-
pended in advertising is not probably
invested, is erroneous. There is no ether
investment that pays as well.
Seventeen years experience in the
printing business has taught us that the
men who advertise are successful in the
end. In looking over our files we ger.
ceive that the men who have advertised
literally and prudently are wealthy or al
least in easy circumstances. Indeed We
do not remember of single merchant who
advertised in proper manner that ever
failed 10 business.
The man who imagines that he can do
profValls business without availing him
s.E OF the advantages of Newspaper to
mako bis wares public is greatly mistaken,
People nowadays judge a man byhis
liberality and enterprise, and, he be toa
sti"gy to advertise, generally avoid him =
The merchant or business man who does
MT advertise may b. got down as old fugy,
who has but few customers and does not
deeire to extend his Lusioess. The eonse-
quence is, hs is compelled to sell at high
or prices in order to live. and bis custom
ers are compelle1 to bear the burden Of
his penuIiousness.
Because we speak in this manner some
mag say that we are pecuniariiy interest,"
ed. Certainly we are, but if what We say
is the truth, business men should TAXI
heed and govern themselves accordingly.
If they desire to prosper, let them adver

squanderIng The Peoples
Money.


Scarcely day passes thai We do not
hear of new case of stupenduous fraud on
the part Of some Government official or
contractor. Indeed the papers are filled
with accounts of peculations and corrup-
ton of those in authority, and millions Of
dollars are thus flched from the pockets of
the people by the cormorants who infest
our public Offices aud Government depots.
1t is no wonder that our daily expen see
run up to three millions, when we consider
the number and character of the men who
feed at the public crib. The fact is our
national expenses are oue-half larger than
they need be. There are legious of officials
unknown to the constitution feastirg uuon
the peoples hard earnings and increasing
our national debt to a fabulous amount -
The Administration has exerted itself to
make place for al It's supporters, and if
its term sh1ull be 2rolougued, it would be
successful.
To show 20 what extent tho public mon
ey is uan1ered, we will refer to CONVEX
Satlon that recently took place in the UDi-
ted States Senate: Senator Hale stated in
his place on the flor OF the Senate, that he
had seen list Of articles by advertised
proposal t. the Navy Department, where
the price varied from one hundred to ten
hundred percent, above the market price.
Fur instance, an article costing twelve dol.
lars has been furnished at one hundred and
6.ty dollars.
Mr.. Wilson asked Mr.. Hale If the Gcy-
erDmrnt took it at that pricef The reply
was that it did. Mr.. Anthony then in
aa:rsi the character OF the articles, " hich
were given.
This is hut sample OF what the Gov
eminent" lie doing with the peoples mon
ey. The same wasteful extravaganza ex-
tends through ell departments of the Gov
eminent. And what cannot be squsndsr-
ed in high salaries and FRAUDULENT contracts,
is stolen outright, as was the case with
Secretary Cameron. Fremont, and in The
New York Custom House.
The truth is, those who have charge oil
our public moneys have thrown open thu
duors to all the IL Ieves and swindlers in rhG
country. Aud it is for this reason that thI
c9rmOrants generally are clamOring for 9
cnntiauauce of this terrible war. They do
sire to steal more money from the federal
treasury.
Now it is high tims that the people put
a stop to these swindling operations. Thi
can only be done by change of Admins
traticn and q return to the god old Demo.

the Government On tho plicy of economy
