THE DILL TIMES.

The dullness of the times is now con-
stantly complained OF, yet the evil is not
without remedy. Persons out of employ
ment could very often, by the use of proper
energy and enterprise, make business for
themselves by engaging in manufacturing
some article which is consumed in this city,
but made elsewhere. Take the article of
ink us an example. OF the enormous guam
titles consumed in this city not drop is
manufactured here. Here is an enterprise
which it would not require much capital to
begin, and which might ultimately be de-
vclOped into u large and profitable business.
Gold pens and numbcrlcss articles of sta
tiOnery might be made here just as cheaply
as anywhere else.
We hope that the hundreds of our own
unemployed citizens, instead Of waiting for
something to turn up, will consider the
above suggestion and make employment for
themselves by starting some branch OF man
uiacturing in small way. One thing of
this sort leads to another, and few sue
ccssiul enterprises would give manufacture
ing such an impetus here as would place
that important interest upon a permanent
footing

NEW HA MPSHIRE AND THE SOUTH
ERN PACIFIC.

The New Hampshire Legislature recently
passed some resolutions declaring against
the subsidy system in the interest of
internal improvement" Such o resolution
afforded the politicians of that State very
cheap means of gaining reputation for
economy. But q public policy which has
been so long established, and which has
been so beneficial to the commercial inter
ests of the nation, ought not to be set aside
at the request of n State which does not
happen to have any interest in great enter
prises which now claim the aid of Congress.
II cannot be denied that the Union and
Central Pacific railroads received far more
assistance from the Government than was
necessary, fact which led to the Credit
Mobilier, and other abuses. But the mis-
takes which were made in the case of those
roads can readily be avoided in future,
and there is consequently little danger
that the generosity of the Govern
ment will be again abused. II Is
proposed to guard future grants by such
provisions as will render the rights Of the
General Government perfectly secure. No
one is justified in saying in advance that
Congress will not have sufficient wisdom to
do this or that that body will act corruptly
in the matter.
The South can well afford to rest her
claim for aid to the Southern Pacific mil-
road upon its merits. 1t is needed to afford
her the same commercial facilities which
the West and the North have secured, at the
national expense, by means of the Central
Pacific. The road would add vastly to the
wealth aud population of the South by
bringing new lands into market and in
Crcasing the commercial facilities of that
region.
Nor would the benefits of the building of
that road be limited to the South. 1t
would do much to revive the languishing
iron interests of the country, and besides
the expenditure of so large sum of money
upon tnat work, would give new life to all
departments of business, 80 that there is no
part of the Republic which would not
share in the benefits of this enterprise.
Let equal justice be done to all sections of
the country, and, then, even New Hamp-
shire will participate in the abundant har-
vest Of national prosperity and good will
which will follow.

REASONS FOR ADTERTJsIyG,

When merchants and shOp-kcepcrs have
goods on their shelves which are selling
slowly on account of the stringcn,y of the
times, good business principles dictate that
they should use such means rs will enable
them to exchange those goods for mOncy
before they become stale OF out Of style
This end can only be accomplished by Tx
ing such prices on tho goods AZ will offer
extra inducements to customers TO purchase.
But mere willingness to sell ut low prices
will do no good unless the public are in
formed of the fact by judicious and liberal
advertising This is Il business maxim
which has long been acted upon by saga
cious merchants in all the great cities OF
the world, Hundreds OF examples might
he cited to show how great mercantile
fortunes have been built up in this way.
Washington is not an exception TO the
general rule. Indeed there is nothing
which has hitherto 40 much interiercd with
the prosperity of our merchants as the fact
that many thousands Of dollars are annually
spent in other cities for goods which would
he bought here if the merchants of Wash
ingtOn understood the advantages of liberal
advertising This is matter in regard to
which halfway measures will not answer,

TIE NEW YORK CuSTOMHOusE.

In the efforts of the Administration to re-
form the civil service, aud to sever the re-.
latiOns between Federal officials and politi-
cal associations and politics generally, il
will of course not lose sight of the fact that
in order to carry out it's views succt Ssfully
it will necessarily he compelled to dispense
with the services of those officials who
have hitherto been actively identified with
the political machine of their respective
localities.
1t is entirely inconsistent with the faith
ful execution of the Presidents reform
policy to retain in Office man like Collector
ARTHUR, of New York, who for a number Of
years past has run the New York custom
house purely in the interest OF politicians
lie has been the head and front of the
perniciOus system which has made the
New York custom-house plaything for
politicians
AT every political convention that has
taken place in New York State during his
term of office Collector ARrIIUR has invari.
ably presented himself ms the leader OF
what is known as the custom house gang
consisting in the main of Federal officials
employed under him Educated in the
corrupt school in which he has been, Collector
ARTHUR is the very last person in the world
whom we would imagine as being sincerely
in accord with the civil service policy oi
President HAYES. He may, of course, make
all sorts of promises in order TO retain his
present position, but those who know him
best have no faith whatever in the sincerity
of his protcstations. He was the attorney
for the tax commissioners of New York city
under the reign of TWEED, an Office which
he could never have filed unless he had
been regarded with favor by the Tammany
King.
In order to reform the New York custom
house the Administration has no Other
alternative but to place it in control Of pur,
and honest men, whose past records entitlt
them to respect and confidence. We are
very glad to know it is the intention of tn,
| Administration to make clean sweep o
the regime which has made Federal Office
in New York city by-word Of reproacl
and COntempt,

harmony Of feeling as there Is now. Under
he influence of free intercourse and politi-
cal moderation, the relations of the two
sections will continually improve, especially
when the truth is generally recognized, that
the highest interests of both can best be pro-
noted by hearty cooperation.
We are not discouraged rs to the future.
The sky looks bright, and not even in the
southern horizon can we see any OF the
signs of i'll omen which Mr.. BLAINE discerns
there. The policy of conciliation which
Mr. HAYES has adopted is as wise as 1t is
just, and cannot fail to bring down upon
the nation the choicest blessings Of Heaven.
