Don't Advertise.

The merchants of Bellefonta aine
don't advertise. But they complain
most bitterly that the citizens of that
town come to Urbaua to buy their
goods In ten years thev will be so
thin and gaunt that the tax collector
won't be able to find them.
Our merchants are wide awake and
wherever there is market they are
in it. buying or selling. No bargains
passes them. and by judicious rdver
tising they are enabled to acquaint
the people Immediately ofnew goods,
new bargains, and speedily they get
their money back again.
Urbana sells more Dry Goods,
Groceries, Boots and Shoes than
Springfield, though the latter has
double the population. Because
our merchants tell the people of their
goods. and sell them more rapidly
aud therefore much lower than the
same articles can be brought for in
neighhoring towns or cities. Trade
is attracted from surroundings coun
ties by low prices, and low prices are
afforded by dlsposing OF a stock
quickly. For money that must bring
20 per cent. year invested in goods
of any description, will produce that
amount in five per cent profit if the
stock Is renewed Ind sold four times
a year. IrgoOds remain on the shelf

per cent. Quick sales insure small
profits and quick sales are only Sc
cured where the people arc hrouy

he said in his remarks in the House
on Buffers first proposition to ra;se
the salaries of members to 1880:

my opinion, than the party which
begins, six months after the most ar
dent professions of economy, to raise
our own salaries. SO that we may put

The Senate Of New York, on
Thursday last, unanimously adopted
the the following, to the sentiment
of which our Republicanism re
spends amen and amen:
Whereas, The late Congress, in the
last hour of its session, passed a law
increasing the salaries of members
of Congress from $1,000
to $500 a year. and
made it applicable to their term of
two years which had just expired,
thereby enabled each member to
take from the Treasury the sum CT
$4,000 in addition to the salary pro-
vided therefore,
RESOLVED, That this Legislature, IN
the name of the people, OF the whole
State, denounce the said action as an
outrage upon the rights of the peo-
pie. and a gross abuse of public
trust.
Resolved. That our Representa-
tives in Congress be and they are
hereby requested, and our Senators
instructed to use their best efforts to
procure the prompt repeal of said
law.

The New York Times, thus analyz
es the Congressional vote on the bill
for the increase of salaries:
In the Senate out of 26 ayes, 21
were cast by senators from the South
and of these 81, IA were Republicans
In all % Republicans voted ave. and
% nay; IA Democrats and Liberals
voted aye. and nay In the House
the vote in favor of the measure was
cast by 81 Republicans and 4S Dem
ocrats; the vote against the steal in
cluded 80 Republicans and 81 Dem
ocrats. The Times comments upon
this showing as follows: 1t will be
seen that neither party can lay the
blame on the other. The Democrats
who voted for the scheme were more
than a majority of all the Republl-
cans in the House Was it, then, q
Democratic measure? BY no means
1t was plunderers' measure, and
ofthese, we regret to say, neither
party enjoys a monopoly. The Re-
publieans might have defeated it,
and they did not. Let Republicans
and Democrats alike own the fact
with shame.
