He has advocated everything mean or
bsd.proposed by anybody else and has
proposed many side-issue vsgaries of his
own, which have been worse.
Meantime he has always turned his
ready mouth, full Of perennial prolixity
and interminable rancor, against every
thing honest, true, peaceful, sensible OF
charitable. He is incapable Of wise
thing, he could not abide sensible
thing, his nature revolts at good thing.
These qualities have made him 9

was unseaworthy from the first voyage

The people of the Southern section of
the Union have gathered together the
products of the farm and garden, and
placed them on exhi ion in Raleigh, the
capital OF North Carolina BY reason Of
its proximity to the Northern cities, this
is a convenient point at which to hold
the Southern Interests Exposition The
rate for the round trip from New York
by way OF the Old Dominion steamers will
be about fifteen dollars; from Baltimore
by the Bay Line Steamers on the beauti
full Chesapeake Bay, about ten dollars
fom Norfolk, Va abont four dollars
from Washington D. O by way Of the
Atlantic Coast Line or the Richmond and
Danville, about ten dollars
This is the most excellent opportunity
that will be presented to the Northern
people to see what Is and can be grown Ia
the Southern states; and by all means
let our people 60 down and see what the
South can show; see the people, get &C
quainted with them, and learn much
that will be to their advantage. The
mode Of growing cotton. distilling tur.
pentine, the picking Of cotton and press
i ing IL into bales, are all interesting fea
lures In Southern industry. The exhibit

unlike the Chicago Exposition, so unlike

THERE are phases Of the home market
fallscy and of the protectionism craze
which do not appeal to the mind which is
closed by the fetlch worship Of Protec-
ton The man who places protection
before Providence cannot reason logically
or comprehend facts. His mind is not in
a receptive condition. Hence be cannot
perceive that proteetionitm has any
influence on commerce, that influence
must be, under the most favorable con
ditlons he eau imagine, as harmful as it
Is beneficial. II II benefits some
industries IL must retard other
industries to an equal degree
That is what the law Of compensation
would teach him. The laws OF trade the
facts II he could or would perceive them,
would teach him even more. Since this
country has been urging the theory OF
exclusion and enforcing the home market
falIacy Egypt and India have been sd-
vanclng rapidly In our most valusblein-
dustries, namely, cotton and wheat. Our
farmers and planters have been com
PEELED to meet these countries, with their
dreaded "pauper labor products" in the
Liverpool market and sell in competition
with them at their prices. Turkestan as
new competitor Of the Southern states
produced 81, 200, 600 pounds Of cotton last
year, but her crop this year is 80 per
cent. greater, reaching l26000,0O
pounds 1t is expected that n
still more rapid development will
take place in the future, as
labor saving machines have been intro
duced and more attention than hereto
fore is being given to irrigation and
planting Facts like the above might
make the man, who thinks that Congress
and the State Department should, even II
they could run the commerce OF this
great country, stsgger. The reason that
the protectionism worshipper does not
doubt the efficacy Of his fetch is that he
has more credulity than reason.

PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, Oct. 1, 1891.
TIE z0eathe~ to-day as likely
to be clear.

There are things to be told
about our Upholstery store that
are worth knowing ~ things
that you should know
The world isfull of humbug.
And there is always a market
for humbug Upholstery hum
bug and other sorts. Many
people enjoy it-enjoy the bit
of flattery, pride or vanity that
it brings. Hence humbug
flourishes.
You know how we do the
Book business ? To you, to
us. Books are merchandise to
be bought cheap as we can get
them and sold at a single fair
profit. The humbug of a pub
lisher's retail price-often ex-
orbitant, has been knocked
out of the retail book trade-a
thing Of the past.
We sell Upholstery the same
way. The form of the high
price evil differed from that in
the Book trade, but the evil
was the same-too much high
and mighty prices. That's
knocked out, too.
1t sometimes happens that
Upholstery men come into our
employ from other cities. The
first surprise here is the low
prices. One such has recently
been somewhat overcome at
the contrasts between our low
prices and the higher ones he
has been accustomed to.
Among these piece goods
are some wonderful Uphols-
terry stuffs at very low prices
soc to $I.25. They are
copies-not of the more costly
goods just told of, but from
other high-priced fairies. They
are full of art and excellence,
and for many uses quite the
thing.
