His market is foreign one. All
the surplus that is over the hom

congress has no iurisdict on, and
where the price is fixed, not only
for what is soil there, bnt for all
that is sold at home. This is free
trade. He is free to sell. without
tax or charge, whenever he finds
demand. And in this market he
comes in contact with the lowest
form of pauper labor known to the
world. How is it when he comes
to buy? 1t is protection. Every
article of clothing. every material
that goes to give him shelter, all
that is necessary to carry on his
work, is increased, as to the price,
to twice or thrice its value. He
then buys under protection and
sells under free trade.

Albany News

Albany News.
The News and Advertiser finds
itsel in position to bear testimony
70 the value of an esteemed biz
contemporary as an advertising
medium, and take pleasure in do
ing so.
A little more than two weeks
ago the Board of Trustees of the
Albany Academy. of which one
Of the editors of the News and ADJ
vertiser is secretary, found that
they would have to ele3t a new
Principal, The time was short,
and no notice had been given that
applications were wanted or when
the election would take place.
Prompt action was there Gore neces,
sary; so it was decided to advertise
in'the Atlanta Constitution, and
the secretary was instructed ac-
cordlngly. He Immediately tele
graphed a fourline advertisement to
the Constitution, and it appeared
among the cheap classified advertises
ments IN that paper of the next
day. BY due course If mail the
applications commenced 20 arrive
IN answer to the advertisement,
and when the Trustees met to elect
Principal, yesterday, they had
t"entyeight applicants, backed by
the strongest sort of credentials.
The applications were from all
parts OF the country, and one-the
winning one, too--came from Tor
onto, anada.
We have decided the above facts,
first, to bear testimony, based upon
experience and not upon theory,
to the value and wide.reaehing
scope of an esteeme | contemporary
as an advertising medium; and,
second, to show that advertising
pays whenever, in any branch OF
trade, calling or profession, any,
thing of limited supply is wanted,
or anything for which there is Ell
Their limited or general demand is
offered tor sale or service.
By inserting small advertise
ment in leading newspaper the
Trustees of the Albany Academy
had applications for twenty-eight
teachers, most of whom were high,
ly Endorsed and recommended from
which to make their selection;
whereas, without the advertisement,
they would doubtless have been
confined to two or three men, Meth
er of whom, perhaps, would have
been exactly such man as they
wanted,
