Adyertising-A Study.

The following from the Boston Post
should be read by every business
man: "Advertisements seen in a fam
lily or business paper from day to day
push the interests of those who in
sert them more eloquently than can
be done in any other way. The boy
who stands upon the street corner
and thrusts cards and circulars into
the face of the passers-by irritates
rather than conciliates, while the lat
ter is the first step to take and the
first point to gain in the introduce
ton Of business matter. The fam
ing daubs that disfigure and desc
crate the picturesque rocks, fill US
with murderous feelings against the
man who has instigated this glazing
outrage upon nature and enlightened
humanity. Circulars are intruders,
and business operation, of whatever
kind or extent, is prejudiced rather
than advanced by this mistaken en-
terprise. Every form of advertise
ment other than that which appears
in newspapers, magazines or similar
periodicals, is considered obtrusive
and fails to be well received. It
brings with it flavor of abruptness
and irregularity that awakens antag
onism, no matter how much it may
be intended to persuade. 1t bounccs
in upon one with kind of bumptious
informality that startles and disgusts.
The newspaper advertisement, on the
other hand, carries its credentials.
1t is found in good company and it
has all the advantage of being intro
duced by friend"

THE COMMUNE.

A leading Socialist and Communist
in Detroit las given to a reporter a
statement of the aims, objects and prin-
ciples Ct the party to which he belongs,
and as the Socialist has printed the
same, it may be taken as in measure
official. The gentleman, in answer to
questions, said he was Socialist and
Communist; he knew no difference be-
tween the names; Communism he de-
fined thus: Communism simply
means liberty, that is, the welfare of
the whole community separate from in
dividualism. that every individual
shall be granted an existence" "The
object of the movement" he said, twas
the complete and absolute overthrow Of
the present social system, All means
of production, such as capital, lands,
machinery, railroads, telegraphs, should
be held for the benefit ofall. He said
they proposed to capture all this mate>
rial by abolishing all title in lands and
other means of reduction, the same to
be transferred to the State and every
thing worked on the cooperative plan,
so that everyone shall receive the full
value Of his labor. Land is the Joint
and indivisible property of the people,
and must be held sacred to all Other
capital which is extracted from land
and labor must follow the same course,
but under different principles. Hence,
payment should be offered for it. Now,
to put this to test. Congress must
pass law that all such capital be es,
timated and paid for by the Govern
ment, except land. Land is nature
and cannot be bartered

The war news I'M Europe is very
scanty. There is indeed a general
lull in even rumors. No reliance can
be placed upon the reported dispatch
at Ottawa from the British Govern
ment that war is inevitable. The
present indications are rather favor
able to peace. Count Schouvoloff is
is on his way to London from st. Pc
tersburg, and it is said he bears with
him pacific proposals. There is q
growing impression that war will be
avoided. Even in Britain the war
party is evidently on the decline. At
Constantinople things are unquiet,
aud General Todleben is insisting
upon the evacuation of Shumla and
other fortresses, according to the
treaty of San Stefano. 1t is not like
ly to be accomplished; and herein lis

Prepare for the Fair.

Farmers neglect a great opportuni-
ty by giving little or no attention to
the various agricultural fairs held in
the late summer and autumn. These
fairs may be made great helps toward
improved methods of agriculture, and
the realizatian of greater profits from
it. Their purpose is to show what
can be done when farmers do their
best, and to compare the results of
each others labor AS an additional
feature, we have a general collection
of such things as are new and useful
in observation-disclosures, tools,
vehicles, machinery, seeds, fertilizers,
DC. To become acquainted with these
is of the greatest use to those engaged
in farming. Their value consists not
so much in the fact that they are new
as that they may be of the most ser
vicable character. For instance, if
with the old-fashioned tools one may
do certain amount of work in one
day and with an improved one he may
do five times as much, it is of the
greatest interest to know this fact.
But the principle advantage accruing
from these fairs arise from the oppor-
tunity of preparing and exhibiting
some product of unusually excellent
quality, or of seeing similar products
shown by other farmers. The greatest
profit promised by the agriculture OF
the future may be looked for from i'm
proved methods by which, while cost
is reduced, the quantity and quality OF
the crop are greatly increased. Every
farmer may do something in this way
in the effort to improve his condition
and what he does he may very well
show to others, from apardonable per
sonal pride, as we'll as with view to
procure some profit from it. He NAV
for instance prepare some improved
stock, or plant and cultivate some i'm
proved crop for exhibition; grow very
clean crop of seed grain by carefully
removing every week or In many 9TH
er ways that will readily occur to him
do something of this kind. But LET
something be done, and the time fol-
making prepal ations and for doing
this is now.--Clarhsbuyy I'e,cNoDs,

Senator Davis, of West Virginia,
must be striking pay dirt" More
than year ago he asserted in q
speech, IN the presence of Mr.. Bout
well, eXSecretary of the Treasury,
that for years forced balance had
been made to the books in the Treas
ury Department, and that q discrep-
ancy of at least $200,000,0OO existed.
Mr.. Boutwell, made no reply. Mr..
Davis was afterward placed in charge
of select committee to overhaul the
books and accounts of the Treasury.
On yesterday he arose in the Senate
and asked leave to have his commit
tee sit during the recess. In the
course of his remarks, he said that
the fact would be fully established
that q deficit of $200,000,00O or
more did exist in the Treasury ac-
cording to their own books. This is
the kind of investigation that inves-
tigates. The country wants more of
it. There is no Glover nonsense
about Mr.. Davis.-Baltimore Ga

Editors NeW Domtnion:-
The change from rain to sunshine,
seems to be the only narration in our
quiet community. Most of our farm
ers are done planting corn, but those
who planted early will gain little adj
vantage over their tardy neighbors
in this respect, owing to the late, cool,
wet season.
The wheat promises an abundant
and early harvest, but the fly is at
work in places, causing downfall
both of the wheat and the farmers
hopes. A number of years ago the
little insect caused much destruction
in this country for three years in sue
cession then disappeared. 1t is said
the only remedy then found was to
dampen the grain and sprinkle it with
lime before sowing.
Last Saturday seemed to be a kind
of holiday with many of Our people.
Some went hunting, others fishing,
but the majority had business in town.
Mr.. 0. Bayles, one of the Easton
Merchants, came near being run over

say, by the elephants.

Reports from Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia concur generally
in the conclusion that the wheat crop
is not nearly so promising as several
weeks ago. Among the causes oper-
ating it are the rust, the fly and the
heavyand continuous rains, the latter
having beaten the wheat crop down
where the growth was very heavy
However, with good weather from now

The tramp is one of the fruits of
widespread pauperism. Pauperism
is the result of the enormous indebt-
4edness of the country. The indebt-
edness of the country is the offspring
of the late war. Idleness is the nat
nral fungus which fastens upon the
body polite when consumption
ceases to call upon production. The
nation is to-day decidedly "out of
gear" but we are not ruined by a
Tast deal. We shall 'icome up all
right in time. 1t seems to us a ter
rible long night, but the morning will
break, finally, industry will resume, a
recovery will commence, prosperity
will gradually revive, and the tramp
will disappear gradually. We will
slowly merge into the producing
ranks, aBd in time be lost sight Of.
All these changes-improving
changes-will set in, because "we,
the people," rule; because this is a
Democratic Republican Union; be-
cause the ballot box is the great evil
corrector, because such political
swindles as the "eight to seven" ca
isals neyer play their game twice on
the sasDe people, and, finally, because
this picture Of political, commercial
and social chaos now masking the
land, is not the first Of it's kind in

Ayers Ague Cure,


GUS, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine set discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that thas gained the reputation of being infal-
Hble. 1t can therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. 1t counteracts the masmatic poison
In the blood, and frees the system from its inlu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, GOut, Headache, Blindness,
ToOthache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitatiOn, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayes AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. AS
preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
1t stays the development Of the disease if taken
on the first approach Of the premonitory symp.
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
1t is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

The Trade Dollar.

The Government put on to the
people fifty million trade dollars at
100 cents. Now that same Govern
ment has issued an edict that they
will only receive them back at the
rate of 80 cents each. That is a
sample of the way the people are
swindled by Republican fnanciering.
wv. Union Defender.
The Defender is either grossly ig-
norant, or else willfully misrepresents
the facts as to the trade dollar. The
Acting Director Of the Mint, who
ought to know, says in a letter re-
Gently published, that the trade dol
lar was authorized as a convenience
for California merchants in the Chi
ma trade, to beat the Mexican dol
lar, and was never expected to cir
culate at home, as at that time it
was worth about 1O4. And Secreta-
ry Sherman says
"At no time and on no account
Ia7e they been received or paid oft
by the Treasury, and it is a cause of
regret that SO many of our people
should have accepted them at their
face value, thus enabling their own
ers put to them into circulation at a
considerable profit" ''As early as
August "a, 1876, the department in
formed an inquirer that the trade
dollar had only a bullion value,
and this information has been repeat
ed scores of times, and published by
the press throughout the country. "
Will the Defender correct its mis-
take, or misstatemen5, whichever it
was? We shall see.
Referring to Senator Thurman's
change of base on the currency ques
ton the Philadelphia Record says:
.'If ever a man succeeded in sWal-

and admiration has disappeared from
view. It is a sad case. Mr.. Thur
