ETHICS AND ApKERzus1NG.

| Philadelphia Times: The code of
legal ethics prevents LAWYERS from adver-
| Using their business in the newspapers;
| the code of medical ethics prohibits ply
sicians from advertising their skill, and
It Is yet within the memory of many
when unwritten commercial ethics pro-
hibited everything in the way of adver-
Using beyond the stale regulation card
that escaped the imputation of oharlst-
snism because 1t was simply waste OF
money. Let us test these presumably
elevated standards of professional and
business ethics by the memorable laws of
common sense, which now assert them
selves in every calling.
The legal profession Of this city has lost
two-tbirds of its legitimate fees within
the last ten years, and 1t has been taken
from the lawyers by the practical CON-
mon sense that entered the field and ad-
vertised its mission every day In all the
leading newspapers. The business of
titles and conveyanoing, once an i'm
mense source of legitimate income to the
lawyers, has been taken from them by
real estate and title corporations, witch
advertise their business from January In
January. The large trusts, which once
gave q competence to many members o.
the bar, have been taken from the law
yers by trust corporations, and
they endorsed the bar in the
struggle by systematic and per-
sistent advertising in the newspapers.
The collection of claims was once large
source of revenue to the bar, but COM
mercial and collection agencies have come
in competition and stripped the bar of tina.
branch of business by appealing to the
public through the advertising columns
of widely circulated newspapers. The
result of this sublimated standard of non
advertising ethics is an impoverished bar
and host of prosperous organizations
which lave won the lawyers business BY
the practical system of advertising. The
bar has its ethics; the competitors of the
bar have its business, and that sums up
the whole situation.
The physicians affect to discredit any
member of their profession who gives a
card in the newspapers telling where hs
may be consulted. and to what particu-
lar branch Of the profession he gives
most attention; but while physicians are |
standing on their assumed dignity, other
physicians OF various grades, from the
educated specialist to the lguorant
qusok, understand that the people now
seek very few men in any. profession or
calling, and that all who, succeed must
seek the people. These advertisers OF |
remedies for all the varied ills of hu-
mainly now mako hundreds OF thousands

entire regular physicians OF the country.
| "Bnt they are quacks and are swind :
linz the people and injuring their
health. Is the ready answer of the reg
ular, as he tails back upon the ethics
that shut him OUT of the practical, COM
mon sense channels of professional sue
cess. Not SO fast, Mr.. Ethics. Pestif-
erous rs are the many quacks. it IS de-
batable question whether the regulars or
irregulars do the most harm in admin
istering medicine. There are many pro-
| prietary medicines advertised from year
TO year which are accepted as standard
remedies in half the families In the land
and there is scarcely family. not even
the family of DR.. Ethics himself, in
which advertised remedies are not more
or less used, and they are made known
by systematic advertising.
1t was once regarded as lacking re-
spectability to advertise merchandise or
daily schedule OF bargains for buyers.
1t was considered quite respectable to in
sert quiet cards in the papers on wednes-
days and Saturdays, when the coun-
try people flocked to the market-sheds,
and it was considered respectable to put
stale card in newspaper without con-
vulsing trade by changing it more than
once in three or six months; but that
unwritten law of commercial ethics has
been knocked out in disgrace by the pro-
gressive business men of the present
day. They have offended the dignity of
grandfather merchants until nobody
thinks Of going to purchase except as he
or she is invited by the breakfast news
paper, and instead of wanting in re-
speciality to advertise, none are re-
garded as respectable business men now
to merchants, as real estate, trust and
collecting organizations have proved to
lawyers, and as proprietary medicines
have proved to physicians, that legiti-
mate advertising is not only highly re-
spectacle, but that 1t is about the only
reputable method of acquaiuting the
world with the resources of those who
can supply its wants, whether profess
sional, commercial, scientific or indus
trial. Advertising has made itself re-
spectacle, and the ethics of any profess
zion or calling that assumes to make 1t
disreputable, only offends the intelli-
gence of the age and gives to more prac-
teal men the cream that modern ethics
Skins for those who foolishly discard it.

PART OF THE DEAL.

Senator Plumb ought to make Rome
howl when he takes the floor to discuss
the silve-lead clause of the tariff bill
All the world knows that the tariff i'm
posed by the bill on Mexican ores is laid
in fulillment of an anti-election con-
tract made by Harrison's managers with
the mining syndicates of Colorado in con :
sequence of which they put up 500, 900
TO aid in electing Benjamin. This cor
rupt deal Is as well known and as public
as the light of day. 1t will kill the
largest industry in Kansas, the smelling
and refining works near Kansas City.
All Kansas is hot over 1t and Plumb will
of course heat up correspondingly.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 26.-Word
was received from Harrison, Ark. this
morning of the discovery of what Is be-
lieved to be q paying silver mine in
Marion county, under very peculiar cir
cumstances. Five years ago John Mo-
Adams, citizen of the county, was con-
vioted OF counterfeiting and sentenced to
FIVE years Imprisonment. It was shown
at the time it was made of silver, and
was worth more than the genuine dollar.
McAdams, 1t is claimed, dug the mate
rial with which he manufactured the
money, from a vein OF silver in the
mountains near his home. He was dis
charged few weeks ago, having served
his term, and returned home aud he has
given samples of silver to number of
persons, and the assay showed u large
per cent. of bullion. Much excitement
in the neighborhood is caused by the dis
covery.
