Ionia county merchants who have
In the past felt the effect Of the cata-
logue house octopus In their business,
are face to face with a proposition
threading them with humiliation, II
the Hearst parcels post bill becomes
a law. The bill In question was in
troduced in the present session of con-
gress by w. II. Hearst, a member of
the house of representatives., from
New York, and publisher of the New
York Journal and Chicago American.
The purpose is to admit mailable mer
chandice at by less than one-sixth the
present rates of postage, in order that
the large department stores in the
cities may reach the consumer with
wares in competition with the coun
TRY merchant. The bill is plainly in
the interest of the classes, and if it
becomes law will destroy the retail
merchant in every branch of trade,
do away with commercial travellers
who sell TO the latter, and grow grass
in the streets of shalf the country
towns. Merchants in Ionia county de-
string to use their influence to defeat
any bill before congress looking to-
ward the establishment of parcel post
should write to Congressman Smith at
once expressing their sentiment. A
measure so unfair, extravagantly dis
honost and destructive needs receive
heroic treatment.

South particularly, says the CONNER
cial Appeal.
The South furnished 600, 900 SOL
dierS for the Confederate armies, and
$780, 24 white soldiers to the Federal
armies. There were 1S6, OH negroes
in the Northern armies and most of
these also came from the South.
There, then, were half a million IN
tagoniSts at home to be contended
with, and it looked as if the whole
world were drawn from to suppress
the 600, 900 soldiers of the South.
The North got 176, 800 soldiers from
Germany and 144, 200 from Ireland,
She secured So, 500 British-Ameri-
cans, As, 500 Englishmen and IA, 900
of other nationalitieS. If to all these
we add the 1856, OF negroes, we have
a total of CSC, 917. Thus the for
eignerS and negroes Outnumbered by
so, 600 men the entire strength of the
Southern army.
The North, in order to conquer the
South, had to enlist the services Of
316, 424 Southerners, 494, 900 foreign
erS and 1860 negroes, making a to-
tai Of 99S, 613. Thus the outside"
assistance received by the North was
sc per cent greater than the entire
strength Of the Southern Confederacy.
In addition to this, the country,
outside of the Southern States, con-
tributed l ,779, 691 soldiers. 1t took
,, 778, 3O4 soldiers, gathered from
North, East, South and West, in the
United States, from England, Ireland,
Germany and Europe generally, from
British America and distant Africa to
defeat the 600. 900 dauntleSS soldiers
who formed the legions of the Lost
Cause.

AS AN INVESTMENT.

1T is no use to advertise unless
you have the goods, and no use having
the goods unless you advertise"
The most important, and conSe-
quently the most difficult department
of a business today is the advertising
department. Advertising is neceS-
Sary, and good advertising pays. The
best firms are the best advertisers in
and city. The people believe in the
mar that's made bis business a house
hold name. No man does that except
through advertising. The good bust
ness man looks upon his advertising
as an investment. 1t creates new bust
ness for him and keeps the old from
Straying. 1t brings the purchaser TO
the store where good values, good
clerks and good display complete the
sale.
A certain per cent. Of the proceeds
of q business, depending upon condi-
tions, placed in publicity, in judiciOus
advertising will bring returns. No
business is too large to need it; GER
tainlY no business is too small. The
small firm of today is the large one of
tomorrow, where good business judg-
ment is at the helm.
No business becomes large today
without a judiciOuS use of printers
A nice clear room, in a good To-
honest values, courteous, COM
clerks, good display of articles
for sale, and wisely advertised, will
build a business; but one cannot leave
out one link in the chain Of success,
and build most successfully.

Additional dwelling houses are
badly needed in Grenada. During the
past week there have been numerous
inquiries for places into which to move
the families of newcomers, but with
few exceptions have the accOmmoda-
tionS been found. The rapid develop
ment of Grenada creates an UMPIRE
cedented demand for houses. and IN
less this demand is supplied it is GER
tain to work a hardship to the town.
A number of citizens have under con
temptation the erection of a dozen or
more tenement houses, but even with
this additional number the demand
will still be u~nSatisfied. There is to-
day fully twenty-five dwellings want
ed, and the number is constantly in
creasing. Something must be done
to relieve the situation, and the soon
er il is done the better it will be for
Grenada.

A Fixed Policy.

The democrats in the house showed
yesterday that they are still a long
way from national policy that will
win them the sympathy and support of
the American people. They solidly
opposed the appropriation for the de-
Tense of the Philippine islands. The,
specious argument they advanced in
support Of their position was that a
fixed national policy in respect to the
islands had not been adopted and that
therefore no money should be spent in
fortifying them. 1872. ~.
The democrats are mistaken in say
ing that a fixed policy has not been
adopted. Because the eventual out
come of that policy may be uncertain,
it does not follow that the policy is not
a fixed one. Briefly our policy in
the Philippines is the government of
the Philippines for the Filipinos and
the introduction into the islands of
self-government accompanied by in
telligent efforts to prepare the natives
for self-government.
This may lead to an Independent

nous state closely bound to the United

Where Hanna Stood.

The attitude of the late Senator
Hanna toward the presidential sue
cession is seemingly thoroly explained
in the new book, "The Man Roose-
welt" by Francis E. Leupp, the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Post. This book is in a way reviewed
by our Washington correspondent in
another column on this page.
1t is Mr.. Leupp's idea that Senator
Hanna never took himself seriously
as a presidential candidate, that in
stead, he did not wish to be president,
but rather maker of presidents. The
reason that he did not take more eff
fective measures to stop the talk about
himself as a candidate for the presi-
dency is that he wanted to be a power
in the Chicago convention. He really
hoped to see a goodly number of del
egates there who would be for him OF
for whatever he wanted them to do.
Whether this view is or is not the
| right one it is certainly a good work.

| plains that somewhat noncommitta

HANDHoLDING VS.. MICROBES
Sioux City Journal,

A German scientist says that the human
hand contains an average of about $4,000
microbes per square inch, and the infer
ence follows that the practice of hand
shaking means a consequent Interchange
Of microbes. In the case of a girl who
cares for her hands scrupulously the
scientist is willing to admit the regular
percentage may be ma terially reduced.
Consequently holding the hand Of a dainty
maiden is much less dangerous to the
holder, at least, than the ordinary hand
shake of commerce. Nobody cares par
ticularly about handshaking, but if hand
holding is to be placed under ban along
with kissing the matter is not to be light
ly dismissed.
