JOHN WANAMAKER.
Man has been defined to be
"an animal who trades - and
this is true, from the boy who
swaps jacknives to the million
aire who trades in railroads
and steamships. Does a cat
trade her mouse or the dog the
bone you have thrown him :?
But the busy world is made to
hum with people who buy and
sell and get gain. AS a matter
not of moral ethics but of fact,
every one Of us wants n bar
gain Of some sort; and because
the very name rings out with
''silvery' sound, most literal
ly, the charm is used as a gild-
ed bait. Let us stop and
think. What is "a bargain %
Does low price constitute "a
bargain? Yes and no. Prac-
tical buyers who cant afford
to buy cheap goods" will tell
you that as a rlle the cheapest
goods in price are about
equal in final cost to the ex-
traYagantly high priced. Ex-
treLneS meet.
Does inferior quality give
you a bargain ! Well, with
tolerable certainty, yes-a bad
bargain.
A "bargain" naturally
(though not necessarily dis
credits quality Damaged or
soiled goods may be a'bargain.
A gentleman bought an over
coat at a large reduction, with
a moth speck under a lapel,
that but for the mark, he de-
clared, he could never have
discovered.
Broken lots may be a bar
gain. Parts of a suit or of
sets, sizes or styles, having sold
out of their due proportion, the
incompleteness Of the remainder
renders it necessary to force
their sale.
Changing styles form a bar
gain. Dealers dare not hold
goods to the tag end. "Seven-
teen-cent hats" did not imply
that there were not many
buyers at so cents, but that it
was a "little late" for the
crush"
A closing season often shrinks
the figures to a bargain"
even on staple goods, the cnly
alternative being to hold over
at the cost Of interest, room
and risk.
Forced sales, where some
body loses, and the lucky pur-
chaser gains, is a fruitful

A FOOLISH ATTEMPT is now being made
to manufacture political capital against
those members of Council who voted for
the much needed loans to three of our fire
companies by protesting against the act
by which the appropriation for opening
and grading streets was materially cut
down in order to make provision for the
loan. So far from this being an unwise
move it was most judlcious procedure.
If the city refused to open or grade another
street it would result in large saving to
the people, as there has been already
too much money spent in this direction for
the benefit Of private interests. Every dol
lar appropriated to the fire companies is for
the public good, and it is doubtful if any
thing but strained and forced construc-
tion of the city charter will give an appear
ance of illegality to the action of Council in
granting the much needed assistance asked
for by three companies of the department.

The fairy among trade dollars, which
was referred to in the GAZETTE few days
ago, gssms to be an organized attempt on
the part OF spectators in New York, to
make money by the excitement. This,
In connection with the miserable
cupIdity of Humber Of EN-
ployers, who buy the dollars in large
numbers at discount and pay them out to
heir workmen at par, is making such an
active trade in the despised coin that it is
likely 1t will be driven out of New York in
q few days.
We are glad to know that there
is no likelihood Of this state OF
afFais prevailing in Wilmington, and that
the banks will continue to accept trade dol
lars on deposit until they are compelled to
do otherwise; and unless the base speculs-
ton In the coin is started here the banks
will not be required to take this step.
Nothing could more plainly demonstrate
the necessity for wiping this bastard coin
out of existence, and one of the first acts OF
Congress should be an order for its re-
demption az the mints, where it could
be readily converted into subsidiary coin
1t is not accounted as money OF this
country, being simply bullion stamped for
expectation, and although it is of more in
trinsic value than the BLAND" dollar, its
peculiar position makes it liable to be an
object of suspicion, distrust and
speculation at all times. 1t is.
therefore, a public nuisance, and one
that is likely TO prove costly burden to the
working people of the country, who are the
least able to stand it. 1t is wrong to place
1t within the power of INSCRIPTIONS en-
ployers to so shamefully vicdmize those to
whom a dollar means one hundred cents
all the time, and the trade dollar
should not be allowed to exist day longer
than the time required for its determination.

JOHN FITZ.

In 1851 Mr.. Samuel Fitz, then liv-
ing at Hanover, York county, Pa,
purchased a considerable tract of
land contiguous to the northern lin
Its of Martinsburg. The purchase
included water privilege, and in
1852 saw mill was put in operation.
In 1853 the oil mill, which was upon
the property, was demolished and a
Touring mill erected in its stead-a
mill containing four run of stone.
In 1856 Mr.. Fitz built and equipped
a foundry and machine shop, and
engaged in the manufacture of agri-
cultural implements, and he contin-
ued these enterprises until his death
in 1877.
During the slate unpleasantness"
it was mooted question as to who
should run the business. When the
Confederates were occupying Mar
tinsburg they assumed charge of the
mill and foundry; when Federal
forces occupied the town they did
the same, and the result was that,
though big business was done, Mr..
Fitz was a sufferer to the extent of
$4,000 to $4,000, nor did he (nor
has his estate since) ever received a
a dollar of compensation.
Mr.. Samuel Fitz continued to
make Hanover, York county, Pa,
(whcre he was also engaged in man
ufacturing operations) his home,
until 1865, when he removed to
Martinsburg and gave his whole
personal attention to his interests
here. In 1872 he made large addi-
ton to his Touring mill-that part
known as the "steam mill''-and he
also materially increased the working
capacity of the foundry and machine
shop, A few weeks prior to his death
in 1877, he passed the con-
troll of the shops to his son,
Mr.. John Fitz, and since his de-
mise the last named gentleman. as
administrator Of the estate, has also
had the business management of the
Touring mill. This, by the way, is

times greater than its capital illus

public have in the bank and its
management. Its surplus and indi-
vidual profits are also large. When
we consider the fact that the bank
has never failed to pay a dividend OF
5 per cent. IA per cent. semi-annual
lyl while another item of interest is
found in the fact that the govern
ment bonds it holds are per cents,
now worth l.l9s.
There are sixty stockholders in the
Peoples National Bank, the largest
individual holding being 35 shares,
and the smallest one share. Nearly
all this stock is held here at home.
1t is needless that we should here
recount all the changes that have
taken place in the Board of Direc-
tors since the bank was organized /;
the present board is composed Of the
following gentlemen A. j. Thomas,
G. w. McKown, M. j. G. Hoffman,
John Fitz, M. S. Grantham, E. s.
Tr0xell, Robert Lamon, Henry j.
Seibert and &. s. Roush, Of these,
seven are farmers, one an attorney
and one q manufacturer.
With a few words Of personal com.
ment, we will close this long review.
The President of the Peoples Ma
tiOnal Bank, Mr.. A. j. Thomas. is,
as our readers we'll know, one Of the
most extensive farmers hereabouts,
his home farm, Of 500 acres, lying
close to town. Mr.. Thomas is a ma
tive of Berkeley, and as private citi-
zen as we'll as public official, he has
retained the esteem Of the entire
community. His record as Sheriff
Of the county is that of a most eff.
cient officer, and he has ever aimed
to identify himself with whatever
promised to promote the public
good. To the business of the bank
he, like his predecessors, gives but
little personal attention the, active
management Of affairs falling upon
the cashier.
Mr.. Wilson is comparatively a
young man, "a years of age,-a ma
tive of Washington county, Md. but
Martinsburg has been his home most
of the time since 1864. His connec-
ton with banks and banking inter.
ests dates from 1868, when he became
clerk of the private bank Of Burk-
hart u Son, in this town. Suisse
quently in partnership with Thomas
A. Tidball, under the style Of It'd
ball and Wilson, he established the
first banking house (n0w doing very
prosperous business under the firm
name of Tidball, Van Zandt
& Co., Mr.. Wilson having sold
his interest) at Fort Worth, Tex,
but circumstances compelled his re-
turn here, since when he has been
identified with the interest of which
we write. Mr.. w. also own a fine
farm near the city, and finds time to
give its management his personal at
tention.
AS a concluding paragraph we
may pay the Peoples National Bank
of Martinsburg this tribute of fact
and Justice: 1t has been weighed in
the balances Of public opinion land it
has not been found wanting.

THE WEST FORK.
Passing over into the west fork of

which certainly will hold their own.
One is a new find, and was discovered
by j. 3. Silvis and Charles Tate, the
photographers. 1t has a three-foot
ledge, and cropping out at the grass
roots is a six-inch streak of antimo-
NAL silver. The location is called the
Belshazzar. Almost adjoining the
Belshazzar, Silvis & Tate have gang
OF men at work on the Copper King,
which is IA relocation Of the Big Blue,
| Gated in 1880, and was staked by
the present owners about a week
since. This is the same property that
Dave Fink attempted to float loca-
ton on, called the "Mackey." The
ledge is s.rong, and the crevice, while
only two feet wide, is very
rich, being stained with copper
and chlorides. The crevicc, at a
depth of Gully ten feet runs over so
in gold, and 80 ounces in silver. The
property is under the management Of
Col. 5. S. Cass, who saws he will have
stamp mill up before long. and, as
the ore is free milling, he can treat
it upon the ground at ii nominal price.
Throughout Kelley gulch water is
plentiful and excellent, and it has the
best growth of timber in the country;
it is almost dense forest of fir and
cottonwood from one end to the other
many Of the trees measuring twelve
feet in circumference at the but.
From this gulch, Bullion procures her
