AFEW REASONS WHY THE
! AMERICAN WATCHI
IS THE BEST.


II Is made on the best principle, while the foreie
watch is generally made on principle at all. The
foreign watch ismosty made by women and boys,
BY HAND. While theirlabor is cheap, their work
dear at any price. Such watches are made Without
plan, and sold without guarantee. They are irfeg-
ular in constructions and quite as irregular in move
ment. They are designed dony to sell. and the buy
or is the party most thoroughly sold. Those who
have kept 'anores, "lepines" and Swiss levers
in protested repair for few years will appreciate
the truth of our statement.
i. THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
I Instead Of being made Of several hundred little
pieces screwed together. the body Of the American
Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No jar in
terferes with the harmony of its working, and no
sudden shock can throwits machinery out Of gear.
In riding or any business pursuit it is all held to-
gother as firmly rs single piece Of metal II is just
what all machinery should be-
1st. ACCURATE. Cd. SIMPLE. Sd. STRONG.
4th.r NOMICAL.. =,
We not only secure CHEAPNESS By Oursyttem,
butQ EQUALITY. We do not'pretend that our Watch
can be bought for less money than the foreign make
6eeces but for its real value 1t is sold for onehaf
the price.
OUR RSOLDIER'S WATCH (named VIM. Ellery)
is what its name indicates Solid Substantial, and
always Reisbe-wauanted to stand any amount of
Marching, Riding or Fighting. tEtAI
OUR NEXT HIGHEST QUALITY OFWATCH
(named P. .BartetD issimilar in size and general
appearance, but has more jewels and more elabor-
ate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought out.
is put up in a great variety of patterns. many OF
them of rare beauty and .workmanship, is quito
small, but warranted to Keep time. a s
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH is
neat not large and Just the thing for the pocket Of
Young America. !, ne.t ..too .-
THE PROOF Of the merits Of our Watch may be
found in the fact that we now employ over seven
hundred workmen in our factories, and that we are
silI unable to supply the constantly increasing de-
mand..ty ,,.y<etFsfR'Tf -.-A sn
OUR THREESQUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we have descrb
cd. Its fine chronomster balanceis delicately ad-
usted to correct the vibration caused by changes Of
temperature. These watches are the fruits Of the
latest experiments in chronometry and are made by
our best workmen, in a separate department Of our
factory. For the finest time-keepng qualities they
challenge comparison with the best works Of the
most famous English and Swiss makers.

LEGISLATURE.

This body of y"skim-milk" patriots is
spending its time in trying to drum up quo
runs, in order that the session may be pro-
5longed, and their pay go on. The mem
bers spend their time mostly at home,
where, as they are known, they have fewer
facilities for doing harm. 1t was q sensible
idea in refusing to have their proceedings
published In the papers, for the printers
would have got pay for dofngnothing. The

fered at S9A, without eliciting a bid. The
somewhat reckless expenditure of money
by the city is well calculated to have this
effect on the city credit" This is a mild
way OF stating cause which is so apparent
, that no man in his senses can mistake it at
this time. The decline in stocks should not
affect the bonds of the city. These are not,

That which is true of the management of
the finances of the city of Philadelphia by
members of the Administration party, is
true of the management by them OF the fl
nances of nearly every township and city of
which they have the control in the coun-
try. Taxpayers, therefore, should look to
it at the April election, that the City and
Township Governments be changed where
they are in the hands of the Administration
party, and, where they are under the con-
troll of Democrats, that no change be made
in the political character of the incumbents.
