The Lesson of peter cooper's Life.
What a noble text the life of Peter
Cooper will be for those who wish to
teach men how to live so as TO do the
most good to their fellows! Mere CIV
ing of money is not the way to benefit
mankind. The recipients of bounty are
often injured by it, for they loose self
respect, and their whOle.mOral fibre be-
comes impaired. Peter Cooper's idea
was to give such an education to the
young as would make them seH-respect-
ing and self-supporting. Americans are
all too prone to suppose that their sys-
tenn of education for the common peO-
pie is superior to that of any other ma
ton. AS matter Of fact in several
! very important matters our working
men and women are inferior TO the
French, Swiss, German and English ar
tisans. It is quite true that the Amerl-
can boy and girl learns how to read,
EVrite and CIPHER, but neither their
| hands, eyes nor tastes are trained Tor
| necessary, useful or ornamental work.
1t is in this field that Peter Cooper dis
| tinguished himself. Fully 10000 per
sons have been educated at the Cooper
| Union in occupations which will make
them telegraphists, type-writers, en-
| gineers, mOdelers, designers, wooden
gravers and artists. The course of IN
stFuction is such as would fit q man to
| become a master mechanic in every
sense, for he could do the choicest and
most difficult work in any shop in which
| he might be employed. Technical
| schools are very common in. Europe,
where they are often founded and en-
couraged by the different governments
and this accounts for the fact so mOrti-
! flying to US Americans, that in our great
factories and shops it is the foreign
workmen who fill the highest positions
and get the best pay, for they have
| been especially trained in those depart
ments which call for manual deXterity
and artistic cultivation. 1t is the Ger
| man and French decorators, cabinet
makers and workers in wood and met
al of all kinds who occupy the superior
| positions. The American employee
has to content with the lowest wages
and the work which requires little or no
skill. Mr. CoOper's idea was to marry
art and science to industry. Cooper
Unions should be multiplied; we want
a thousand of them IN this country and
each with a thousand pupils. We are
to become a great industrial nation; the
concentration of business in great
stores gives less and less chance every
year for our young men becoming mer-
chants on their own account. All de-
partments of trade are overrun. We
have too many clerks, statesmen and
small traders and altogether too few
trained and educsted artisans. Peter
Cooper got out of life probably as much
as any man who ever lived to him was
given length of years, good health, con
tentment, the ability to benefit his fel.

the close Of his life. He did not wai

You can buy a white" Sewing Ma
chine from me for thirty dollars, all at
tachments, and warranted for five years.
This very fine machine is built in this
State, at Cleveland, and is very popular.
l have also the "New Home" Sewing Ma
chine, and Davis; both are first-class,
and fully warranted. My machines are
all new, and are warranted to please.
Now if you are trying to make fifteen or
twenty dollars, here is a chance for you,
Just recollect this when a peddler calls
on you and asks 40 or 45 dollars for a
cheap machine. If 1 were to peddle my
machines 1 would be compelled to ask
from fifteen to twenty dollars more mon
ey, as I could not hire a man, horse and
wagon, to haul my machines through the
country and sell them for less; and the
more the expense 1 am at the more the
machine will cost the person buying it.
By selling them from my store l do not
have any extra expense; consequently L
can sell you machine at low price and
make money for you and myself also.
You cannot help seeing this if you will
only stop apd think moments
l am permanently located here, have
been selling sewing machines longer than
any peddler in the county, l think, and
expect to be selling after they all quit; so
if you buy a machine from me you will
know where to find me if anything goes
wrong. Quite different with the peddler.
Y You buy your machine from one; he may
quit the next month, and should anything
happen your machine you are obliged to
pay some one for putting it Alright. You
pay the travelling peddler twenty dollars
for bringing the machine to your house.
Is not this high? Could you not deliver
this machine for sixteen or eighteen dol
lars less money? l can and will deliver
them for about one-tenth what they
charge you, or l will sell them to you and
you can haul them home and save the eX-
pense Of delivering.
