Clothing.

There is in Philadelphia
a clearinghouse that began
a good many years ago to
do a peculiar business. 1t
marked goods in plain fig
ures, and described them in
plain letters its prices were
absolute, its descriptions
were true. People had full
knowledge of what they
were buying there, and yet
if afterward they were sorry
they had bought, they could
go back the next day and
exchange for something else,
or, if they liked, get their
money back. 1t was a safe
place to get clothes it was
a safe place to leave money.
People liked that house.
1t grew, and grew, and
grew, until it became a
great house. To-day it is
the largest clearinghouse
anywhere ; and it keeps up
the old practices: no secrets
about what its clothes are
made of, one price, and
the money back if the buy
er wants it. Of course, it
uses all grades of cloths
that are worth using, and
makes all grades of cloth
ing that are worth making;
for it serves all sorts of peo-
pie.
Those at all familiar with
Philadelphia already know
that we are speaking Of
OAK HALL, the original Of
the WANAMAKER STORES.
There has been great i'm
provement in ready-made
clothing in nineteen years !;
and OAK HALL has taken
the lead equally in econ
omy, reliability, and rapid
ity of production; in the
quality of finished work !;
and in the development of
a method of business hav-
ing for its first object the
satisfaction of customers.
1t is worth your while to
know that you, whoever and
wherever you are, can get
your clothing to better ad-
vantage there than any,
where else. If too far
away to go, write. You
will receive in reply samples
of cloths, and prices of
ready-made suits from them,
with a diagram and instruc-
tions for measuring. The
rest is plain.

UNDER the head of "Good from Evil"
the Philadelphia Ercning Necs make the
following reflections;
"The heavy influx of foreign importa-
tions during q few months past was re-
garded an unmixcd evil. 1t stopped the
rising prosperity of manufacturers and
poured foreign goods into our markets.
Prices broke down, manufactures stagnated,
and dire forboding of a coming panic We're
entertained. But tho danger has largely
passed and out of the evil has come good
| if our people will rightly appreciate the
! lessons that are involved in the experience
now nearly ended. The large importa-
! tions have swelled the revenues of the
| government, so that the national debt has
been rapidly reduced. Congress has made
| no change in the tariff, and hence so long
as imports continue large, the monthly re-
ductions of the debt will be also large, and
the volume of interest will be correspon.
dinghy reduced Fortunately, the tempta
ton to use the argument OF an excessive
revenue to secure q reduction OF tariffs was
not successful i'll Congress, and hence a re
turn to small importations will not prove
embarrassing to the treasury. Among the
indirect benefits from our recent eXperlencC
is tho lesson taught that prices cannot b.
safely advanced in this country beyond ;
certain limit without inviting foreign com
petition. This lesson has been learned in
way so costly that it will not be readil,
forgotten. England is constantly on tn
alert for markets for her products, and tn
moment prices rise here to a point tina
will enable her to come in with her ware
markets will be flooded with foreign manu
features. What has been will be agair
} And the fact cannot be too distinctly ur
t derstood, that to hold back foreign compC
= tition we must keep the prices of mani
. factured articles within bounds. Speculi
tive booms are boomerangs that strike bac
9 with terrible force. If this lesson is we
s learned it will pay for its cost"

NTI-TmRD-TERM.-The Anti-Third-Term
Convention at st. Louis, last week, seems to
have been a very dull and spirtless affair. The
fact is, il did not have the countenace of any
large number of Grants opponents in the Re-
pulican party, for there was a want of conf
dence in the crowd that was running the thing.
1t was got up and engineered by men who are
not only opposed to Grant, but who make it a
point to oppose nearly every Republican nomi-
nee. They are generally men of the George
William Curtis school-fne haired, too pure for
earth, and sore-heads on general princi Piles.
Their opposition does not hurt a candidate, or

V The only vote Gen. Grant ever gave for
President, was for Buchanan, in 1856. His wor-
shippers claim that he saved the country; yet
the only vote he ever gave in his life, was for
the man through whose imbecility and treach-
cry tho country was imperiled. 1t is also well
known that Grant, although not voter in Illi-
nois in 1860, was an ardent partisan Of Douglas
against Lincoln yet he is trying to carry the
Illinois delegation on the strength of his vener-
rtion for the memory of Lincoln.
