THE Miners in the Scranton Coal re
gion are on another strike. The cause
Is the reduction of wages by the three
heaviest operators in the region. These
operators are said to have their yards
well stocked East and West, and as
coal is now at low figure in the great
markets, it is believed they have reduc
ed wages for the purpose of securing a
strike and suspension, and a consequent
advance in the price of coal. There is
no strike in the Schuylkill coal region.

the advantage and economy of advert

vantage to business men as well as to
the town generally. 1t may not be out
of place now to remind people of the
fact, of the truth of which few mo-

that they ought TO make it a point TO pa
tronise the men who do ADVERTISE
They are the public spirited men, the
men who give life, energy and import

benefit. The man who advertises ex
tensively shows most decisive action
and energy, and consequently will sell
cheaper and better goods than the
"slow coach" who does not care, or seem
to care, whether he sells or not. His ac.
tivity and energy enable him to buy
goods cheaper and better, and his strong
desire to do business, to sell, leads him
to sell as cheaply as possible. He is sure
to do more business than the others,
and can therefore afford to sell much
cheaper and yet earn more money than
his slow neighbor. The very anxiety
to sell which the advertiser plainly
shows he possesses, induces him to sell
as low as possible and of such quality
as he represents, so as to induce the con.
tinuance of the patronage of the custo.

now doing, and that energy which
would be indicated by extensive adver
tising of the business it is doing, would
very soon produce the desired result
We protest that it is not selfish motive
that induces these remarks-we are
practicing what we are preaching-ant
reflection will assure every INTEL igent
man of the truth of the position We
