SOUND ADVICE TO ST. LOUIS.

 dal thing in raising it's hotel rates to
 prohibitory prices-four times the pres ent amounts-the new schedule to go Unto effect as soon as the fair opens. We believe that every American city in which fair has been held of recent years has done the same thing, and al-
 ways with the result that it had to ac- knowledge it's error, reduce the extor- i tionate to usual prices and beg the puo-
 lie to arrive and forgive it.
 Chicago thought the world so anxious to see it's fair that it would screw the last dollar out of the worlds pockets.
 The world complaeently remained away | from Chicago. Weeks went by; they extended into months; the railroads
 were. carrying people cheaply, but Chi icago was keeping them out. Then Chi cago reformed all of sudden. It had 1 to, or meet with a tremendous failure and bring lasting obloquy upon itself as
 we'll. Atlanta did the same thing lit ltle later, and so did Nashville and Omaha, but in no instance were the
 prices maintained, for there is no law whereby citizen can be forced to pay | to stranger ten dollars for two and a
 half dollars worth of goods.
