BsA-p AS will be observed, the DAILY
MONITOR contains the advertisements of
none but Elizabeth business men. We
receive, every week, o column or two of
foreign advertisements; but satisfied as
we are that it is ruinous to the trade of
our city, we have rejected them. We
cannot ask one price of our tradesmen,
and another--a much lower one-of
New Workers, who, through the agen-
cies, never pay half-price. Besides, we
will not publish special or editorial no.
tees urging our people to go from home
for goods. We here earn and receive
our money and we would do our people
an injury by spending it out of town.
We urge, therefore, upon our citizens
to patronize those of our business men
who advertise. Our merchants would
be able to sell much lower were they to
receive portion of the patronage sent
to New York. We know that this is the
CdSC-OuI lIduGSllGu Will bcn you 81.
Give our merchants fair chance. We
are satisfied that in many instances
those who go to New York for goods
pay more than they could have obtained
the same quality for in our own city.
If the article Or goods, on being brought
home, are found to be broken or worth
less, you have no other remedy but to
retain them and make the most of your
bad bargain but had you bought them
of your neighbor at home, the articles
could readily have been exchanged
this would, in fact, be demanded Is
this right? Is it fair or just for you to
expend your money in New York, when
you can do as well, if not better, at
home? We know some persons who
get trusted at different stores during
the week, and when Saturday night
comes, off they go to Newark or New
York with their wages.
Again we ask, is this fair or equitable?

And rues the ruse, alas! too late;

If she won't do it, let her bend.
