detailed argument with a person whose
prejudices will lead him into the absurd
statement that we were in collision
with the water company in arranging
that there should be no limit as to what
they should charge newspapers. We
had as much to do with arranging the

John Sherman says the republicans
will insist on DISTINGUISHING the colored
voters unless they stick to the republic
can party as a unit. This is what all
democrats said twenty years ago would
be the result. But the republican party
has not the power to enfranchise or
disfrsnchise anybody. John Sherman
is a good hnsncier. He saved several
million dollars out of a small salary
in four years; but he is not much of a
gtatesman.

es one and all Happy New Year,
and in doing SO take the occasion to
return their thanks to their numer-
Gus customers for their kind patron
age, as our success in Audubon has
certainly been such as to give us ev-
cry reason to be thankful therefor,
and no one knows better than we do
how largely this Is due 10 Our NUM-
erous friends who have kindly assist
cd us in our departure from the old
fogy system Of selling goods on long
time with very large profits. And
while we have demanded cash for
our goods we have tried to be just
and grant you the same by paying
cash for what you had to sell, and
we are satisfied more than ever that
this is the only correct way of dong
business, and we believe this commu-
nifty by their constantly increasing
patronage so believe. With the be-
ginning Of the new year we shall
cndeavor to crowd prices down to
their lowest possible point, thereby
enabling you not only to buy more
goods but to buy many goods that
were so high as to be beyond your
reach, thereby enabling us to make
more money in the aggregate than
we would at the old fogy prices. To
illustrate SO that our meaning will
be plain we will state an actual fact:
When we came to Audubon tomatos
were sold at IS cents a can which
would be $I.So per dozen. Now, at
this time they could be laid down
here for $I.o5 per dozen, leaving a
net profit of IS cents for each dozen
sold. And we think if we had sold
ten cases the first year we would
Gave done well, which would have
given us, rt-the old prices. a profit Of
Sis. Now what vert the actual
facts' They were these: We put
them at 10 cents per can, and from
s5th of February, 1854, to the ist
day of January, 1855, we sold seven
ty cases, making 40 dozen, giving
us net profit Of IS cents dozen
Gnstead of IS cents) or $sr clear
profit instead Of Sis. Now this was
not an exceptional case, but it was so
with most all kinds OF goods.
Now in regard to your produce,
what were the facts' Was il not
trade. trade, trade, or no salei If you
brought eggs or butter could you
step in store and have them count
ed or weighed and get your cash at
their actual value' We will leave
you TO answer. But we think you
have already answered it by enab-
ling us to ship out of your town
$4,000 dozen of eggs since the Ist
day of April, this year.
We are now starting another in
dustry which was entirely neglected
until we came, and that is dressing
poultry. We have erected a build
ing ASKS feet, and we are now
dressing about two hundred head per
day, and will pay cash for all that is
brought to us.
Respectfully Yours,
