undoubtedly true that the Republican
party is not agreed how to effect that
reform. Neither is the Democratic
party. Neither party, as such, yet
sees clearly the right way. But there
are two reasons for believing the Re

best treat this great question of the

l. rs the former has hitherto
found the true way through graver diff
fculties, SO we believe it is more apt
to lind the true way through this.
You already have abundant as.
surance that when Republicans discov-
er the true way they will pursue it
That assurance has not as yet been given
by the other party,

There are few attainments so gratifying in
their cultivation as that of music. True it is
that some are more gifted than others, yet
how few households there are devoid Of the
gift to some extent. Pianos and organs are
fast becoming the main attractions in render
ing thrice happy the domestic circle with their
charming tones, and the moral influence i'm
parted by home culture Of music is yearly
commenting itself to all circles with no meas
ured degree of success. This fact is clearly
demonstrated in the rapid growth of the de-
mand for the matchless PALACE ORGANS Of the
Loring & Blake Organ Company. Messrs.
Whitney s. Courier, of Ill Summit street,
Toledo, long characterized for their pre- emil
nent standing in the supply Of none but the
best instruments tho trade will produce, are
participants In the firm referred to, and as
manufacturers of the organs in question unre-
servedIy submit them, on t0aTTGnty, as the
best and cheapest in the end it is possible to
obtain. Parties at distance need not, of ne
cessity, see the instruments to secure satisfac-
ton in purchase, as the longand high stand
ing Of this firm ever prompts them with
proud desire to maintain their prestige by
treating everyone to the strictest letter with
impartiality, indegrity and candor. We can
strongly recommend those about to purchase
to send for their price list before going else
where and their discretion will be amply re-
Warded,
