Malone, Virginia" attempted to
make tremendous hit in the Senate last
Monday, by quoting from the immortal
ScotFs "Marmion" the well known lines
.sAnd il thou saYs't am not peer
To any lord in Scotland here,
LOwIand or Highland; far or near.
Lord Angus, thou hast lied"
How much more appropriate would il
have been had he quoted the following
from the same author.
''The wretch concentred all IN self.
Living shalt forfeit fair renown.
And aoubIy dy ing, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept unhOnored ard unsung."

SHREWD competition in business matters is
~ one thing, but piracy is a mule of quite
another complexion.
A few weeks ago our TOY and Stationery
friend (oless his dear little hearth was enthu-
sfaSucally braying against cheap Pianos and
particularly our popular Southern Gem"
made by j. p Hale, which. somehow, seems to
be perpetual thorn in his hesh.''
Now he is actually advertising these same
cheap" trashy stuck together Hale
P1anos, and proposing to sell them cheaper
conversion is that it is the duty of every live
merchant to cater to the wants of the public
His devotion to duty is wonderful. but his
thirty years experience in the music trade does
not seem to avail him much in finding out the
wants OF the public.
We saw ten gears ago that the public wanted
good and reliable Pianos at moderate prices

the bill. 1t became immensely popular, and
lts yearly sales now exceed all the planes of

1t is rather late In the day for him to make
fortune selling Hale Pianos and then, too
what fearful pile of ''croso'' he viii have to
eat.
He thinks it awful smart to bring Hale
Pianos to Savannah and sell them where we
are the Only Authorized agents for them.
We, and all honorable dealers. know that
such action is simply contemplate.
j. P. Hale will not sell him his Pianos at any
pTsce: he. therefore, gets some pirdticGL
friend In New York to mechanically buy him
one or ttOo and ship to Savannah lnbekT,otcn
to Mr.. Hale. They are then placed in his ware
rooms and left untUned and in this condition
are shown to customers as the cheap Hale
Piano that L. & B. sell as the Southern Gem
An old but UerV dirty trick of the trade
Honorable dealers respect the rights of,com-
petitors holding agencies for instruments. and
scorn to run a pirGticGL schedule.
We have resident buyer in New York. who.
through his trade acquaintance, could easily
obtain either K1ldbe, Decker, Hatlet Dc DnUis.
Gdbter or Fischer Pianos md we could furnish
them from $50 to 500 less than the MARTYR to
duty does and still make all the profit that ars
wanted
But zoe prefer a legitimate and honorable
tTade, and 1t we ever get SO denloroLized as to
