We read with horror and disgust the ex-
tract from Foraker's speech in last journal
and we read with pride the Journals com
ment upon it. The Republican party has
ceased (if it ever did to possess that virtue
which commands the respect and support of
the people, and now its Forakers, its Sher-
mans and its Halsteads must resort to such
base means as appealing to the easily kin
died passions of the masses of the North for
votes to hoist themselves, undeservingly in
to power over the credulous and deluded
people. Surely, as Shakespeare says, Some
rise by sin and some by virtue fall" Shame
on Them and honor to the plucky Journal
for its answering adherence to honest con-
victions; its battle against wrong and cor
ruption, and its patriotic defence of that
which is right.

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
