Deception in Dealers.

The attention of the western press
has been given to an abuse in con-
nection with the sale Of advertised
articles by retailed dealers which is
not peculiar to that section of the
country. There are many standard
articles of general consumption, the
value of which has been brought be-
fore the public by extensive adverti-
sing. The names of these articles
will readily suggest themselves to the
public. Very large sums of money
have been spent in this way. The
merit Of such articles is, of course,
to be tested in the end by.those who
use them, and the proprietors are full
ly content that this should be the
case. The wrong under which they
labor is that there is q conspiracy
to prevent their being SO tested.
The dealers in many cases hold them
back from the public, and substitute
another article, spurious. and often
to great degree valueless, for them.
The operation is in this way: The
advertised article is made of valuable
material, and it is we'll adapted to its
purpose. 1t has been proved to ans
wer the end claimed for it. In short,
it has established itself . reputation.
This is the fair capital Of its owners.
They acknowledge that it is every,
thing they claim it to be justi6es
their advertising it. The public are
DESTROYS of possessing it. They go to
a store to make its purchase. There,
under the operation Of the fraud We
are exposing, they find themselves
forestalled. Some other manafactur.
er, approaching the favor which merit
and advertising in combination have
brought for the article, is there to
rob its proprietors of the fruits of
their legitimate outlay. He has ap-
peared with an imitation. 1t is not
absolute. counterft !; that the law
might reach. But it is got up close
ly to resemble the genuine product.
"How is he to get this substituted"
we may asked. He does it in COL
fusion with the dealer. Sometimes
indeed, he is the dealer himself. In
the first place, he presents an article
which costs nothing like as much
as the geneuine one. Ofcourse, un-
der these circumstances, he can sell
it for considerably less, and at the
same time afford a larger margin Of
profit. The cupidity Of the dealer
being thus appealed to, genuine
conspiracy against the real article
and the customer is established.
The customer asks for the article Of
reputation which has been advertised.
The reply is made to him: eve have
not this article, but We have one that
is as good, or better, which We will
sell at a lower price. Take this
home and try it. We know all about
it, and insure that you will like it,
i Now, see the double wrong there
is in such proceeding. 1t is in the
! advertising and the reputation that
have brought the customer. The id.

Of farm lands" Try to buy farm,

There is more certainty in the values
of farm lands to-day than in the val,

Every new experience of trial to the
Christian believer brings new exper-
ience of grace. If he were without the
special trial, he would haveto be with
out the special grace to meet it. AS
" God does not give dying grace to live
BY" so God does hot give the richest
proofs of his sustaining love until there
IS uttermost need of it. His strength is
made complete in weakness. Without
the weakness there could never be the
divine ministry to the weak one.
AS sins proceed they ever multiply
like figures in arithmetic, the last
stands for more than all that went
before.
