THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There never was time in the history Of our
country when greater necessity existed for cir
cuating pure Democratic documents. Radical
legislation has made grave yard and desert Of
half Of our country; our liberties have been in
fringed upon to an alarming extent ovcrwhelm-
ed with debt and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the SCOT and by-word of foreign nations; dispis.
ed at homo and deridcd abroad, it is oycrhang
ing the very brink of destruction; the departure
of our people from the glorious precepts Of the
past, has led them into labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in a military
despotism. The New York mperialist, founded
and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment Of an Empirei
its efforts receive the countcnance of high gov
eminent officials, and tho appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs cfthe East we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship Of State. There is no
hope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties as citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed.
There is but one way TO redeem the country from
the dcmagogues and punderers who are fast urg-
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
principles of the fathers of the Republic, drive
from places of trust the spoilers fattcning upon
the life blood of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a
change in the government within the next four
years. Tho people must choose between Democ-
racy and Imperialism The struggle has already
commenced. The Democratic party will be
found, as in the past, battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people
Circulate the documents.
With this object in view, we have determined
to reduce the price Of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and
hope, thereby, to place it in the hands of every
Democrat in tho county, and within the reach
of every political opponent who may desire to
investigate facts and listen to the truth while yet
there is time. On and after the LIST of July, the
price Of the WEEKLY ARGUS will be as follows:
Single Copy, one year, .."..".......""..S25O
Ten Copies, sent to one address, each, ..2,25
Twenty do 20 zjVV
When not paid in advance, ......""" 800
ns- The cost of publishing n paper is as
great now as during the war, but we make this
reduction to still further increase our circulation
We invite all tn mixing men to aid us.

Treatment of Flower. Beds in October

Early in ,he month, the BEDS should be
thoroughly cleaned of all weeds; oil the tops
done blooming and are dried up should be
cut off; tubefoses, gladiolus, dahlias, and
other summer. blooming bulbs should be Ia,
ken up, properly dried, and stored away
When The frst frost has destroyed the yer
benss. balsams, asters, etc, they should be
removed; and the tops of the chrysanthem.
ums cut off as soon as they have done bloom.
ing At the end the month, or when the
earth is frozen On inch or two deep, tho bed
should be covered over with leaves, long lit
ter, or salthay, to the depth of two or three
inches. In order to protect the plants from
the injuriocs effects Of alternate freezing and
thawing in the winter slight protection in
this way amply repays the rouble.-Hearth

W1LKEsBARRE, June lit is reported hero
this morning. on reliable authority, that all the
Schuylkill county men will resume work on
Wednesday next, in accordance with an agree
ment effected here yesterday, the terms of
which have not been ascertained. The suspen-
sion still continues throughout this and Luzerne
county. All the merchants in the latter county
refuse to sell their goods to miners on credit,
has been the custom heretofore This action
causes much dissatisfaction, and unless work
be resumed within short time it is feared that
the merchants will be compelled to sell on credit
or close up their business.
At an interview between a committee of
miners and Mr.. Parrish an agreement was
made on the percentage basis so far as concerns
the Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company. The
Grand Council, at the meeting to which the
cement was submitted, took no action in the
matter. The miners in this vicinity are greatly
disappointed at this, and eviRce desire to return
to work regardless of the Council

presses the belief that no work will be done this
