Proelsmstion tx the cover.o,

The practice OF setting aside one day for public
thanksgiving and praise has long been observ ed,
ever bringing with il memories of home and d
lflends who from year 70 year have gathered
there. Once more sufficient warrant is foane
for following the time-honored custom.
through the vary ing changes OF the closing
year, Divine favor has still attended us. AS in
0lviduais and as a nation we have renewed
cause for rejoicing aud thanksgiving. We have
deem free from pestslence kew have known
the ills and stress o. piRchiDg poverty. We have
been secure in our liberty, in our rights civil
and religious, aud i'll the enjoyment OF the fruits
OF ollr toll. From no one has opportunity been
withheld. Honest industry has found fruitful
reward. Creature comforts are widely shared.
Peace snd concord reign, and, as never before,
prosperity and plenty prevail.
For these and ibnumerable other blessings we
should, as grateful people. give praise TO God,
The Ruler, OF nations and the Giver of every per
feet gift. In recognition OF that duty ana in

Vose Piano

When a man shouts from
the roof-tops that he is a gen
tleman, it is safe to assume
that he is anything but a gen
tleman.
The makers of the Vose
piano do not claim that their
pianos are as good as the
.Chickering or the Steinway,
but they keep on making good
pianos-we think the best
after these two great ones.
Philadelphia thinks SO too.
Since we took up the Vose-
not very long ago-the piano
has sprung into wide popular
~ and it deserves it. The
tone, action, finish, design,
and work are SO good that the
price is a surprise to almost
everybody.
These and other pianos may
be bought and paid for all at
once, or by monthly payments
we adding interest at four
per cent. per year for the ac-
commodation.
If you would like to have
tuning done by our Chickering
tuners-we do it particularly
well-send your orders to our
store.

The Trust as : 7ensfioenes.

Newark Daily Advetiserl.
The theory that trusts rednce the cost
of the necessaries of life and are, there
fore, beneficial in their nature. was sweetly
presented in some public remarks by New
Jerseys Governor, Foster NJ. Voorhees,. not
long ago. Since the date of the Cover
nor's remarks the trusts have got in some
of their benefieient work, and with results
that may partly be summarized in these
advances in prices:-
Dressmakers' supplies, Is to rs per cent.
Envelopes, 40 per cent.
Enameled ware, so per cent.
Builders hardware, As per cent.
Iron beds, IS to 65 per cent
Brooms, 40 to so per cent.
Cooper wire, 100 per cent.
Chairs, IS to Ss4 per cent.
Furniture, 25 per cent.
Flour, 30 cents barrel.
Glassware, 20 per cent.
Iron, 100 per cent.
Knit wool. 81 TO $3.50 per dozen.
Plumbers supplies, 80 10 so per cent.
Shoes, 10 to 20 per cent.
Rubber, large advances
Common soap, 25 cents box.
Spool cotton, s to 25 per cent.
Salt, 10 to Is per cent.
Stoves, 25 to 533 per cent.
Teas, 10 to Is cents pound.
Tinware. 100 to 500 per cent.
Wall paper, 25 to 80 per cent.
These prices are taken from written re
ports OF authorized agents of the trusts
and they represent in most part a purely
arbitrary advance. The advantages
claimed for the trnsts are the elimination
of useless plants, the reduction of the ex-
penses OF Office salaries, economy in labor
and fuel and in buying and selling, etc.
economical advantages should work
a reduction of prices for the consumer, but
insatiate monopoly has pocketed all the
profits accruing therefrom, and besides
advanced prices to the utmost limit of
Il is certainly time for New Jerseys
Foster M. Voorhees,, to overhaul
his trust catechism, and make some new
notes on the subject of the trust as q
benefcient institution that reduces the
cost of the necessaries of life.
