How to Kill Your Town.

Buy of peddlers as often and as much
as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Make your town out very bad
place and stab it every chance you get.
Glory in the downfall of any man
who has done much to build up the
city.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material in
terests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods good deal cheaper in some
other town, and charge them with ex-
tertion.:
KIP every cent you can get and
don't do anything of a public nature
unless you can make something out
OF it indirectly.
When you have anything to say of
your town, say it in such a way as to
leave the impression that you have ne
faith in it.
: Patronize outside newspapers to the
exclusion of your own, and then de-
nounce them for not being as large as
the big city papers.
If a stranger comes to town tell him
that everything is overdone, and pre-
dict general crash in the town in
the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
and knife every man who disagrees
with you on the best method of in
creasing business.
If you are a merchant, don't adver-
tise in the home papers; buy a rubber
stamp and use it. 1t may save you a
few dimes and make the paper look
like it was published in one-horse
town.
If you are n farmer, curse the town
where you trade as the meanest place
on earth. Talk this to your neighbors,
make them believe the business men
are robbers and thieves. 1t will make
your property much less valuable; but
then you don't care.

Hard Times Coming.

The Virginia, Nevada Chronicle says:
" Those who are in a position to speak
with some degree of accuracy say there
are in this country to-day over three
million unemployed men and women
who cannot find employment. If
there is not bracing up of the factory
interests between now and next spring
this immense army ofunemployed will
number in its ranks not less than four
million. How will these people earn
their daily breadf Yet with this
gaunt spectre ever before them and
with the power in their hands to drive
it forever from their sight, the labor
ing masses are inactive and seeming
Indifferent. 1t may be that the pro-
tective tariff policy OF the government
is the right thing; it may be that the
trust fad SO popular with capital does
not effect labor; it may be that forced
reduction of wages by money combi-
nations is just the scheme for filling
the wage-worker's dinner pail, and it
may be that such money autocrats as
Andrew Carnegie really have the well
fare and happiness of their employees
at heart; but the working masses owe
it to themselves to ascertain with some
degree Of certainty if all these condi-
tons are really for the best. If the
protection now enjoyed by our manu-
facturers throws three or four million
men and women out of employment
and keeps them ont, how would it do
to experiment for time with little
more or little less protection2 If as
there is tolerable strong evidence they
do, trusts tend to making the rich
richer and the poor poorer, would it
not be well to bring about shrinkage
in trusts? If it is found that reduc-
ton of wages does not fill the dinner
pail, why not try species of legisla-
ton that will convince the Carnegies,
of which we have more than enough,
of the fallacy of their argument?

WASHINGTON, March LIST, 1880.
MY DEAR CARurH: shall not accept the In
vitatlon presented to me by the Blue Grass Club
The reason is very simple. I notice that J. <.
Durham assured me that during the late distur
bsnce" that II they had me in Kentucky they
would kill me. Knowing said Durham to be q
journalist this declaration to me imports abso
lutte verify. do not wish to be killed, especially
In Kentucky, where such an event 10 too common
an occurrence to attract attention For good
man to die anywhere Is, of course, gain. but
think can make more by dying later and else
where. Very truly, I. b. REED.
The expression knowing said Dun
ham to be a journalist, this declara-
ton to me imports absolute verify" it
must be admitted, is a very frank
acknowledgment of a generally con-
coded qualification for journalism, and
that far Mr.. Reeds head is level.
