why ADVERTISE!

People sometimes ask why does DIR. R. v.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, spend so much money
in advertising his family medicines, which are
SO well known and surpass al others reme-
dies in popularity and sale. 1t is well known
that A. A. Stewart considered it good policy,
and it undoubtedly paid hun, to spend many
hundred thousand dollars L. advertising his
goods, yet nobody questioned the eXceiIence
Of his merchandise The grand secret of
success lies in Offering only goods which
possess merit to sustain themselves, and
then through liberal and persistent ad-
vertislng making the people thoroughly
acquainted with their good qualities. Men
do not succeed IN amassing great fortunes,
establishing thriving aud permanent busi-
ness, and founding substantial Institutions
like DIR. Pierce's Grand Invalids' Hotel at
Buffalo, which costs over two hundred thou
sand dollars, unless their business is legiti-
mate, their gooIs merltorious, and their SER
vices which they render the people ge0uine
and valuable. DIR. Pierce does not attempt
to humDug you by telling you that his Golden
Medical Discovery will cure all diseases. He
says, IF your lungs are half wasted by con-
sumption, my Discovery will not cure you, yet
as u remedy FOR severe coughs, anu all curable
bronchial, throat and lung affections, 1 believe

1t is true that the mortality among the
female babies would continue the same
as heretofore. Maternal vanity would
still be gratified by exposing their chub-
by shoulders to be kissed by chill blasts
and gushing damsels-their little collcs
could still be so0thed by the wept-Ior
Winslow's, while the undertaken would
come as of old with his solemn Visage
and lovely casket; and the whole melan-
choly business could then as now be
charged up to the Mysterious Dlspensa-
tions of an Overruling Providence; and
we think on the whole the desired equi-
librIum would be restored without
smothering single female baby. 1t is
at least worthy OF fair trial; and at any
hazards let there be no systematic
smothering of female babies until after a
satisfactory settlement of the Preslden-
tial question. Before that is accom-
plished exigencies may arise that will
bring the entire sex up to their par
value without any violent interference
with the course of nature.

The prompt passage of the Arbitra-
tion Bill by both Houses Of Congress
was a signal triumph of the people over
the politicians. 1t is an encouraging
condition of affairs that renders it i'm
possible for the leaders of both political
parties combined to defeat the will of
The masses. The party journals, almost
10 paper, pronounced against the bill
and demanded its defeat. Political ma
nipulators in and about Congress were
against it till they caught the driit OF
the public will and were wheeled into
line. The prompt manner in which the
sentiments of the people were recog-
nized and obeyed should teach politi-
clans and political papers that the day
has passed tor using party lash and party
prejudice to perpetuate great wrong.
The people are all powerful and must be
obeyed. individually any good citizen
can rise above party when occasion de-
mands, and the people in great emer-
gency have shown their ability to ignore
all parties and make q united demand
for the right. In this instance the senti-
ment of the country was expressed by
the Independent press, which from the
first was solid for the bill. This, with
the petitions from all parts of the coun-
try, resolutions from all kinds of busi-
ness associations and kilograms from
prominent business houses in every
dnn1nnh
men in Congress dared not disobey. AS
between the papers that exc out an ex-
istence by party favors and the will of
their constituents they very wisely
Obeyed the latter. In our later editions
of to-day we hope to announce that the
bill has received the signature of the
President and is law.

THE SOCIAL PROBLEN--sMOTH
ING BABIES.


ING BABIES.
A lady correspondent of the New York
Tribune has in a very candid and delib-
crate manner presented a solution OF
what she calls tour greatest modern
problem-the woman question" II her
plan be acted upon it will end forever
the whole woman's rights business,
female suffrage, the social evil, the in
trusion of starving women into mems
sphere of labor, the ignoble army of ole
maids, the exhaustive support of un-
married sisters, and all the bankruptcies
and defalcations caused by silks and
laces and costly evening parties required
by ambitious mothers as a means to work
OF marriageable daughters. 1t will in
a measure stamp out bloomerism, doc
teresses, lawyeresses, ministeresses
and Mary Walkers; and SO thin the
crowded ranks OF the pale victims to the
needle and the school-book that men
can not get their shirts made for six
pence piece or their children taught at
starving wages.
All this she claims can be done by
"tenderly smothering every female child
that shall be born for year to come,
and every third female child in the years
thereafter" She claims, with quite a
show of plausibility, that "women do
not disturb society and inconvenience
mankind because they like to do so, but
because they are here and can not help
themselves" She writes with the sin
cerity Of conviction and her suggestions
will have consideration.
The question of female surplusage in
population, which fills the ranks of an
tique maidenhood, crowds the young
man who parts his hair in the middle
from behind the dry-goods counter, and
compels very many thousands Of the
fairest of the sex to become frail and
mercenary that they may not starve,
seeks solution. But the suggestion OF
The Tribune's correspondent to smother
the female youngerlings especially to SO
great an extent seems, at the first blush,
harsh and, as it were, Objectionable.
Let us suggest way out OF the diff.
Guilty little more in consonance with
the philanthropic spirit of the age. We
know that under the present system Of
raising children about two-flths OF all
born into the world OF both sexes perish
in the very flower Of their youth. Either
because OF being shut of from their nat
ural aliment or exposed through the
vanity or folly of the mother to the In
clemencies of the weather half dressed,

Nasby's Plan for 1880.

Nasby has given up the fight for this
time, but he has invented a plan for
certain success in 1880. Hethusexplains:
sit don't answer to take man like Til
den, and stand him up between John
Morrisey and Fernandy Wood, and try
to make anybody bleev in II pure gov
ernment for them. 1t won't work. 1t

the RIdikles to onst. I've knowd sew
eral sich cases. .Tilden spent this year,
three million NV dollars, and failed.
Now suppose he commences to wunst
with three millions more, and lays the
foundations deep and wide for Il victry

1t is learned from intimate friends of
tie family that a quarrel between Mrs.
May and Mr.. Bennett in regard to the
brids,s dress and some details of the
wedding was only the occasion and not
the cause of tie castigation Of the young
millionaire. Mrs, May desired her
daughter to lie married in a wedding
dress. al d Mr.. Bennett insisted on a
travelling costume. Mrs. May said that
it was usual to leave such details tothe
brides mother, and Mr.. Bennett in his
VT 18th declared that things should be as
lie wanted them, and he was going to be
married privately, and would not have
any of the May family present anyhow.
and more to that effect. Some insult
ing remarks followed. This happened
the day preceding the encounter be-
tween Bennett ard Fred. May. The
real cause Of the many postponements
of the wedding, and the motive animus
in the latest proceeding is said to be
something not yet disclosed and of a
delicate nature. Balt. American.

that Z. Mcdonald, of Chicago, has OH

a Of an entirely new design, but n
which appears to overcome all ohjec-
tionable features of previous devices
and patents for transporting perishable
matter. The car is in appearance what
is styled a .'d~ouble-decker, " the offset
or upper story being tile ice compart-
ment. Tine walls and top of the car
are ABOUT eight inches in thickness and
contain throughout three air CHAM
beers, in one Of which-the outer one

preventing the heat from penetrating
to Il e inside. Air is constantly forced
into the car while in mot on, from the
top, entirely free from smoke or dust.
1t enters a pipe, passes througha reser-
voir of ice water, then traverses the ice
compartment twice, after which it rs
discharged into tue car. The air which
thus enters the car is raritied by reason
of being strained through very fine
selves. An even temperature of about
forty degrees is maintained. Provi-
sion is made for the escape of
moisture or heat arising from meats or
other matter stored within. and the eff
feet aimed at and accomplished is a
constant supply Of dry, fresh, cool air:
The ice-chest holds about two tons, and
is constructed with u view to preserv-
ing the ice as long AS possible. Mr.. Nc
Donald thinks there will be no difficult
ty in taking "a car from Colorado to
Cleveland without renewing the ice. A
small chamber at one end of the "a is
entered from the outside, where the
circulation and temperature may be
with the utmost ease. A company,
known as the Tiffany Refrige rator Car
Company. has been formed, and it is
their intention To construct at once
about fifty of these cars, for the Texas
and Colorado beef trade. A line will
also be put on the Union Pacific, for
the California fruit trade. These cars
will preserve meat, fruit and vegetables
from freezing, or from the effects of the
heat, consequently can be used all the
year round. Nothing Low hinders the
dressed beef business from going on the
year round.
