The Mechanic.

A young man began visiting a young
lady recently and was we'll pleased with
her. One evening it was quite late
when he called, and the young lady in
quired where he had been.
II had to work tonight" he said.
"What! doing work for a living" she
inquired in astonishment.
Certainly; 1 am "mechanic!" and
she turned up her pretty nose.
That was the last time the young man
visited the young lady. He is now a
wealthy man, and has the incest little
wife in the city. The woman who dis
liked mechanic is now the wife Of a
miserable fool-a regular loafer, and the
miserable girl is obliged to take in wash
ing to support herself and children.
You dislike the name of mechanic
eh?-you, whose brothers are but well
dressed loafers. Any girl is to be pitied
who is so silly as to think less of man
because he is mechanic.-Bostoa
Journal of Commerce.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1886-11-11

PEOPLE are curious beings, and it is
thoroughly inconsistent with the theory
that Americans are nation or hustlers
to see how trivial a thing will attract a
crowd. Stop at store window, and
notice how quickly somebody, wonder
ing what you see of interest, will be at
your side. Each conner attracts new
one, and, somebody didn't move on,
block would surely occur. Where an
automaton goes through its motion g,
fifty persons stand and crane their
necks in idle wonder. Where q hen on
its way to the dinner-pot, has escaped
and sought refuge on front door cap,
and half hundred persons stop to watch
the efforts of the man to recapture the
feathered biped, and refuse to disperse
until the capture is an accomplished
fact. Merchants understand this trait
of character, and their success is large
ly attributable to the frequency with
which they cast a tempting bait.

The Trade Outlook.
[Philadelphia Times.l


Though an earthquake has shaken
an American city to pieces, and the
drought has burned up some of the
Dakota wheat, the Autumn opens with
the best business outlook for several
years. The crops, as whole, are bet
ter than last year, and, what is more
to the purpose, the crops across the
water are below the average, thus Civ
ing promise of a brisk deman for the
American surplus, which must neces-
sarily be large An increase In rail-
way building has also stimulated the
iron and steel industries to healthy
condition.
The prosperity of the agricultural
portions of the country is having
marked effect upon the trade OF the
Eastern cities. New York jobbers
and wholesale dealers report the best
Fall demand for dry goods, boots and
shoes, furniture, builders hardware
and other articles that go to make up
the stock in trade Of the country deal
err, they have bad for several years.
The increased demand comes both
from the South and West, and is ac-
companied by that other. infalllble
sign of business prosperity, prompt
collections. What is true of New
York, is true of Philadelphia, Boston
and other trade centers. Business is
quickened everywhere and business
men are confident of permanent i'm
provement in the demand for nearly
all articles of ordinary consumption.
4 There are two features of this ad-
vance in business prosperity that are
worthy of especial notice. The first is
that the increase in demand is healthy
and one that is likely to be maintain
ed and not in the nature of a sudden
boom, which may vanish as quickly as
it came. The reason for this is that
!, prices have not been materially ad-
vanced and there are no exhorbitant
profits to drain the resources Of pur-
chasers on the one hand, or cause g
sudden expansion OF production on
the other Goods are being made and
sold for what they are really worth tc
consumers, and consumers find them
selves able to pay reasonable prices fol
what they need.
The other feature of the present
business condition, especially worthy
of note, is that the grade of goods de-
manded by Southern and Western
) consumers is noticeably higher thar
formerly They want better clothing
} better furniture, choicer crockeryware
, and boots and shoes of finer quality
f than ever before. This indicates boil
> the ability to pay for better goods ane
an improving taste in their selection
, Manufacturers should not fail to TAX
note of this demand for, the best tn
. kcountry affords, and direct their at
+ tention to the production of the clas
+ of goods which is certain to be in de
mand in the future.
