Our stock of Dress Goods is
quite complete, although our
large sales in this department
during the past two months have
made room for many Bargains,
in the way of Remnants of one
Dress-pattern and shorter ends
which will now be closed at a
sacrifice. We have made all the
money we expect to make this
season on Spring Dress
Goods, so now they must go at
a price to suit the buver.

What I mean to say, do say, and will

it may be called, whatsoever disguise it

EXECUTIVE MANSION,


Hon. James A. Flack, Grand Sachem:
DEAR SIR regret that am obliged to
decline the CO urteous invitation which I
have received to attend the celebration by
the Tammany Society of the birthday of
the Republic, on the Fourth day of July
next. The yea and enthusiasm with which
your society celebrates this day, afford
proof of its stf adfast patriotism, as well as
its care for all that pertains to the advan-
tage and prosp Gritty of the people, I can
not doubt thai the renewal of love and
devotion to pure Jeffersonian Democratic
form of Cover nment," which you contem-
plate, will sugs est the inquiry, whether the
people are rec eivIfg all the benefits which
are due them tnder such form of govern
ment. These benefits are not fully enjoyed
when our citi0 ,ns are unnecessarily burden
ed, and their e. ,rnings and incomes are use
lessly dimini shed, under the pretext of gov
ernmeutal sap port. Our government be-
longs to the people. They have decreed it's
purposes; nd it is their clear right to de-
mand that its cost shall be limited by fru-
gality, an1i that its burden of expense shall
be caret' ally limited by its actual needs.
And yet a useless and dangerous surplus in
but extjortion on the part of the government
4 IL.
In the, midst of our impetuous enterprise
and blind confidence in our destiny, it is
time to pause and study our condition. 1t
is no sooner appreciated, than the convic-
ton must follow, that the tribute exacted
from the people should be diminished. The
theo' les which cloud the subject, mislead-
ing honest men, and the appeals to selfish
interests which decisive the understanding,
make the reform, which should be easy, a
difficult task. Although those who pro-
pose remedy for the present evil have al
ways b cen the friends of American labor,
and though they declare their purposes to
furthe'c its interests in all their efforts, yet
those who oppose reform attempt to disturb
our 'workingmen, by the Cry that their
wager and their employment are threaten
ed. They advocate system which bene-
fits c. rtain classes of our citizens at the ex.
penst of every householder in the land-a
| syste N which breeds discomfort, because it
perm its the duplication of wealth without
| CORE spending additional recompsnse to Ia
Dor, which prevents the opportunity t, work
by st fling production and limiting the area
of Q ur markets, and which enhances the
cost of living beyond the laborer's hard
earn ed wages The attempt is made tc
dive TT the attention Of the people from the
evils of such scheme of taxation, by
branding those who seek to correct these
evils as free traders, and enemies of ouI
wor kingmen and our industrial enterprises
This is 80 far from the truth that there
shonld be no chance for such deception tt
succeed. It behooyes the American people
while they rejoice in the anniversary of thu
day when their free government was declar
ed, TO also reason together. and determine
that they will not be deprived of the bless
ings and the benefits which their govern
meiat should afford. Yours very truly,
| GROVER CLEVELAND.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and baf-

catarrh. While not imm ediately fatal, it is
among the most distressing. nauseous and dis
gushing ills the flesh is heir to. nd the records

catarrh by any of the multitude of modes OF
treatment until the introduction of Ely's

You'd. 1t has for many years been in pos
session of one of the oldest families in the
land, and contains numerous historical rec
ords of the revolution. 1t appears that
Mrs. Cleveland has often admired the place
when driving by, and upon one occasion
determined to call and ask permission to
be shown through it. With this intent she
introduced herself to the dignified old lady
who owns and resides at the place, and was
graciously permitted to wander at pleasure
through the apartments and grounds. The
upshot of the matter was that an offer for
the purchase of the same was made, which
is now under consideration.
