MR.. TREATS LETTER.

GEORGETOWN, DEL, Oct. %, 1888.
EDITOR NEWARK LEDGER.
I enclose the following slip cut
from the Erery EUening:
The NEWARK LEDGER of Saturday
contained the following:
"MY employees receive % per cent
cash of their wages, the balance is
in form of an order, which is dealt
out at my store. Ifthey want some.
thing the store hasn't, my clerks are
instructed TO buy the order at the
rate of 20 percent. off," Hon. Chds.
H. Treats speech in Caskey Hall, on
Saturday night Oct. 13, 1888.
1t does me very great injustice in
asmuch as l never stated that my
clerks are instructed to buy the order
at the rate of 20 per cent. for as
matter of fact no order is cashed for
less than 40 face by our Company
never will. If you will look at the
Philadelphia Record of Monday issue
Oct. %, you will see our Cashier
plainly refutes all such charges. l
cannot understand the willfuly per-
versity of the Democratic press. My
employees are satisfied their pay
averages 10 per cent. more than any
other employer of labor in this
county, and we are over-run with
applications for situations. If the
help were ill-paid and oppressed
such would not be the case. Pom
inent Democrats of Sussex, who have
held high offices, run county stores
pay out all lcages IN trade, and yet
this constitutes no objection to hold
ing public office.
Our system is liked better than
the railroad mode of payment; it
makes weekly instead of monthly pay
ment, and enables the employers to
be independent of asking for credit
All this is personal and if satisiac-
tory to the contract parties what
business of importance to the publici
Why not reply to the political issues
or to the arguments l make in be-
halfof the Republican party.

overtaken by terrible gale. Her
engine broke down and the vessel
became unmanageable. The captain
let loose Of her tow, the Manhattan,
and beached the steamer. In the
morning the storm pounded her on
the rocks and she finally went to

two ladies took to the boats and got

hardships while there and having
nothing to eat but fish until rescued.
The tow is thought to be lost also.

Tn Pennsylvania democrats in
convention have endorsed Mr..
Cleveland's administration and Mr..
Randall was rudely snubbed.

The introduction Of the Belt bill
by Mr. Denny of Baltimore city,
gave rise to an animated debate in
the House. The Baltimore county
delegation showed considerable
restlessness on the makeup OF the
committee to whom the subject is
to be referred. Baltimore county
wants all the counties in the State
represented and an interest mani
tested by them.
We repeat, in this connection,
that Annapolis should learn wisdom
from BaItimore's delay in securing
elbow-room. Little villages are
sprinyiug up all around Us, which
enjoy all the advantages and priv
leges of orr city, and escape the
burdens of municipal taxation. "a
stitch in time saves nine."

The wives Of the striking miners
in Pennsylvania are reported as
being quite as determined as their
husbands in the fight to bring the
employers to terms. Naturally
this would be the case. Female
human nature is the same the world
over, asserting itself in the same
general way in the humble cot sur
roun ded by poverty and in the lux
u rious palace of the rich. That
nature seems to be to agree with,
to second, encourage and upnold
man in the positions he assumes
whether they be right or wrong. 1t
is sometimes a pity that the wife's
disposition or nature is as it is. 1t
is a pity in this very case OF the
Reading strike. If the women were
to employ their influence to induce
their husbands to continue at work,
instead of to encourage them to
quit, much suffering might be pre-
vented, for woman's influence is as
great in the miners cabin as In the
bankers hall. We know little OF
the merits of the strike now on, but
all know that the strikers will suf-
fer more than the employers. The
latter will continue well clothed;
they will not want for wholesome
and abundant food, for warm fires,
for comfortable homes nor any of
the necessities or luxuries OF life;
while the strikers will soon want all
these things and will suffer because
they cannot obtain them. Ii the
miners wives would explain to their
husbands how by working hard and
practicing the scverest economy
they find it difficult to make the
weeks wages pay the weeks house
hold expenses, and how the loss OF
the wages involves great priyation
and suffering, and then encourage
the bread winners to hold on until
they could better themselves before
casting aside the little they had,
would it not be better for the hus-
bands and wives and children ?

BoiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, OF which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years lie has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandnlar swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfigured by pimplcs, ernptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail 10 effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
