The Merchants Retail Commercial Agency.

desire to state to the business and profess
sional men of StauntOn and Augusta county,
Va. have come here for the sole purpose OF
reOrganizing the above agency that has been
enjoyed by a handsome number of members
for one year, which, without doubt, is in
valuable to all members who will give our sys-
show you the dead-beats you already have
paid from one to one hundred dollars to find
out, but the credit customer has beat some
other merchant and is now paying you prompt
ly for time In order to get in good shape to
rope in good bulk of goods on credit. Some
will say have been here so many years and
know whom to extend credit. So they do at the
time but only find them out when it is too late
in the day. As a rule we do not lose any money
on doubtful trade for we will not credit them,
but the very ones we have confidence in and
are sure will pay are the dangerous ones in the
end. In many instances we are looked upon
as simply collection agency, and the mem
berS in some cases lose sight OF prevention,
which we claim the most beneficial. We are q
protective agency, Collection Is good thing
but protection is a better one and collections
are only incidental to protection. This agency
| is just what the members make out of it and
we find in Few cases dissatisfied members and
| but few old hard shelled claims and did not
collect over one hundred per cent. on the dol
| lar. We expect to find some dissatisfied mem
| bers, but If you will show us branch Of bust
ness that will please one and all we should be
pleased to take up with it. Members will find
the first years experience, which is very short,
beneficial, but this system is better the second
year than the first because your surroundings
are represented by local branches and more
binding and thorough. Members rule are
satisfied to use our protection list, others use
both. Kindly asking yonr attention when at
leisure and trusting you may thoroughly con-
slider the object Of our system,
Remain very fesyectfally,

Indiana Coming.

A special to the World from Green
Castle, Ind, says "Delano E. William
son, lifelong Republican, and once
Attorney-G eneral of Indiana, has de-
clared for Cleveland"
We suppose there will be many good
Republicans who will refuse to sup
port Harrison and the Force bill. All
should do SO who wish to preserve the
true Republican character of our gov
eminent as designed by it's wise
trainers. To support the Force bill is
to destroy freedom and liberty-to en-
broil the country in difficulties, riot,
and bloodshed, and in the South, the
negroes will be the chief sufferers in
every way. They should be more
interested than anybody else ip de-
feating the Force bill.

pEMocRAcY,s PROMISES.

'tBut gentlemen, l must not keep
you from the work that is before you.
Let us take up that work as brothers,
as patriots, as democrats. In so large
a convention as this-larger in numbers
than any previous gathering of our
party and representing a larger con-
stituency than ever before assembled
in any conventional would be strange,
ominously strange, if there were not
some differences of opinion on matters
of policy and some differences of
judgment or of preference as to the
choice of candidates. 1t is the sign of
a free democracy that it is many
voiced, and, within the limits of true
freedom, tumultuous. 1t wears no col
lars it serves no masters. We cannot
shut our eyes to the fact that many
who have heretofore followed our flag
with enthusiasm are to-day calling,
with excusable Impotence, for i'm
mediate relief from the evils that en-
compass them. Whatever can be done
to relieve the burdens, to restore,
broaden and increase the prosperity of
the people or any part of them, within
the limits and according to the princi-
piles of free government. that the dem
ocratic party dares to promise it
will do with all its might. Whatever
is beyond this, whatever is incompati-
BILE with free government and our
historic liberty, it dares not promise to
any one.
"Inveterate evils in the body polite
cannot be cured in a moment any more
than inveterate diseases in the human
system. Whoever processes the power
to do so is himself deceived or himself
deceiver. Our party is not quack or
worker of miracles.
| THE PEOPLES CAUSE.
at is not for me, gentlemen, the i'm
partial servant of you all, to attempt
to foreshadOw what your choice
should be or ought to be in the selec-
ton of your candidates You will make
the selection under your own sense of
responsibility to the people you repre-
sent and to your country. One thing
only venture to say. Whoever may
be your chosen leader in this campaign
no telegram will flash across the sea
from the castle of absentee tariff lords
to congratulate him. But from the
home of labor, from the fireside of the
toiler, from the hearts of all who love
justice and equality, who wish and in
tend that our matchless heritage oil
freedom shall be the commonweal Of
all our people, and the common OPP
portunity of all our youth, will come vi
praise for his success and recruits fol
the great democratic host that mus
strike down the beast of sectionalism
and the moth of monopoly before we
can have ever again a peoples govern
ment run by peoples faithful repre-
!, sentatives."

In his speech on taking the chair.
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, permanent chair
man of the national democratic con-
vention said
Gas your presiding officer, it would
be unbecoming in me to express an
opinion concerning the candidates
But / will say that the man you select
will receive no kilograms of congratu-
lation from the foreign castles of our
tariff lords.''

tions to Harrison from his castle in
