RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY APRIL 2(5 1889

Merchants Organization.

On April 11 the merchants of Rensselaer met in the Town Hall and listened to the explanation of Mr. Smith of the advantages offered by organizing under the protective system represented by “The Merchants Retail Commercial Agency of Chicago, 111.” The organization o£ the Rensselaer branch was perfected and the following were elected officers: C. D. Nowels, president; E. P. Honan, Vice-President; C. VV. Coen, Secretary; O. W. Coen, Treasurer; N. Warner, F. B. Meyer and Ludd Eftptins, Executive Board 1 year; G. E. Murray, Executive Board 2 years; John Eger, Executive Board 3 years. All merchants present signed the constitution and by-laws, pledging their honor as business men to maintain and sustain each and every part thereof for one year. A fine is provided as a penalty for violation of the clause in such constitution, which provides that no member of the Rensselaer Branch of “The Merchants Retail Commercial Agency, shall give credit to a person who does not in some honorable manner adjust his indebtedness with another member of “The Merchants Retail Commercial Agency.” No person shall be referred to the members of this or any other branch as owing a member of “The Merchants Retail Commercial Agency” until such person has been given a full and fair opportunity to go to the merchant he owes and in some way settle up his indebtedness. This system cannot work a hardship on any person who is disposed to do the square thing. Any person, no matter how poor, how unfortunate his circumstances in life, if he is honest, need have no fear, because he can and will make known his circumstances in such a way as will be satisfactory to the person he owes. No merchant will ever crowd a poor man who is honest; but that class of of persons, who do not care for their promises to pay; who go from one store to another, from one town to anotner, contracting a debt wherever they can get a chance to open an account; who go it blind, never stopping to consider how they can pay; never trying to pay—paying their honest debts being the last thing they think of—it is to such persons that this system pays attention. It is no hardship to ask men to be honest in their deals with a merchant who trusts them. Every farmer, every mechanic, every person in the community in Which we reside who pays his honest debts is interested in the success of a system whjch seeks to make those who can pay, and won’t pay, pay their honest debts, because it is those who pay cash or pay their debts promptly, who furnish the money which enables the merchant to successfully conduct his business and carry on his books that class people styled slow payers and “dead beats.” Every dollar lost by the merchant by reason of bad debts is indirectly loaded onto the shoulders of those who do pay, and any system that forces payment by slow payers and “dead beats,” or compels them to pay spot cash or secure for everything they purchase, unloads the percentage from off the shoulders of the honest paying classes. A man cannot exist in this world and pay nothing without proving a direct burden on those who supply themselves with the necessaries of life by honest purpose. The do-nothing, pay-nothing class are what this agency is after. The merchants have no law for their

protection; they must be a law unto themselves by combination for the protection of each other. They owe it not only to themselves, but to their cash-paying, prompt-pay-ing customers, to combine together and drive to settlement or cash that class of persons which infests every community, who do nothing, live well and contribute nothing. Thisjsystem is being adopted by all the leading merchants through-

out the west. It deals bpnorably with both debtor and creditor and should have the support not only of merchants but honest consumers. We do not wish to be understood as being organized for the purpose of oppressing or crowding any worthy workingman and those on salaries, but that they in common with all merchants and manufacturers must understand the necessity of paying their just and honest debts, that with them their promises to pay should be met with the 88 me promptness as all those engaged in business must honor their obligations. Pay up. Settle up or pay cash is the motto of this branch and of the agency.

A WOMAN S DISCOVERY. “Another wonderful discovery baa been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clut2hea up jo her and for seven years she withs'ood its severest teats but h«r vital organs were und rmioed and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep She bought of us a boHle of Dr. King’s New Discoverv for Consumption and was so much relieve 1 ou taing first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculo sly cured Her name is Mrs. Lutlrr Lutz ” Thus write W C. Hamrick & Co., cf Shob by, N. C.—Get a free trial bottle at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store. 2 - Godey’s Lady’s Book for May, the favorite fashion magazine, has reached us. This number is full of choice illustrations of fashions and work, while the literary matter is more than up to the standard of any fa-hion journal. It is the pet of the 1 dies, who, when they once see it, become so fascinated that never again can they do without it. Two Dollars per year. — Address Godey’a Lady’s Book, Philadelphia, Pa.

OBJECT LESSON

On the Beauties of the Protective Tariff. Anderson, lnd., March 23.—The farmers of this (Madison) county have res lved to boycott Trust binding twine during the comiig harvest. The Farmer’s Club took the initiatory steps last evening b ' resolving against Trust twine and issuing a call for a mass meeting of farmers to take further action What arrant nonsense this is, says the Terre Haute Gazette. To put twine on the free list was the way to smash the twine trust That the immortal Mills bill did. But these same farmers opposed thal last fall Jnd by defeating the party which championed that measure gave the twine trust just the ehanee it wanted to get in a position where the farmers oould not help themselves. To try to boyeott the twine trust is childish. To boycott it the farmers must discard the use of twine. That means that expensive twine binding reapers must be left to stand idle and that would injure the farmers more than it would hurt the twine trust. It would be like burning a barn to get rid of rats, or biting off one’s nose to spite his £ ce.

put twins on the free list and you have more than scorched ths snake; you have killed it. Then if these American twine makers don’t sell yon twine as cheap as you can get it anywhere yen can buy from the foreigners and the American twine trust can walk the floor and howl —and come down in petition with the world in selling twine just as ycu have to do in selling wheat. But last fall when this question was up the western farmer was putting down the rebellion, fighting the brigadiers, rallying around ke old starry flag, keeping Ameri-

ca for Americans, carrying torches and generally ripping things up the He now discovers that his own pooket-book vas the thing he was ripping.ub the back and that he was making merry at the funeral of his own prosperity. Kansas. Minnesota, lowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, and Oregon wheat growers are catching it now, and catching it hard.— It is a dear lesson, but it is hoped they have learned it. It is to I e hoped they will now plant themselves fairly and squarely on the platform of free trade and insist on wiping out entirely the laws which make them protect a favored few out of their pockets.

Peterson’s Magazine for May comes as fresh and bright as a s: ring morning. Its steel and wood engravings aie capital and copious, and its literary contents deserve unqualified praise. There is not a poor story from the b ginning to the end; most of them are above the average of periodical literature, and several are real gems; the same m>ybe said for the poems. Ladies who wish to keep thoioughly costed in matters of dress, fancy-wQrk, household affairs, can find no guide so competent and reliable as this admirable monthly. This number contains an article on “Home Millinery,” so elearly written that, by Bs aid, a novice may make a bonnet to suit each costume, as stylish as if just arrived from Paris, and have the entire number at less expense than she could purchase a sixgle one from a miliner. Terms: Two Dollars a year. Address Peterson’s Magazine, 306 Chestnut Street,Philadelphia, Pa.

MERIT WINS. Wt desire to say to Hiur oitizens that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Eleetric Bitters, and have never handled rem* edles that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction.— We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to re fund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits.— F. B. Meyer, Druggist. 1

According to the new time table now in force on the Monon Route, the forenoon south-bound mail, and the Indianapolis Accommodation, again pass at the Rensselaer station. Their time here is 11:10 A. M. The two night passenger trains are consolidated into one, which carries the mail and stops regularly at this station. It goes south at 10:55 P. M. and north at 4:20 A. M. The other changes are not important

the Threshing Machines then in use were almost wholly of the class known as the “ Endless Apron” style. Then it was that Nichols & Shepard, of Battle Creek, Mich..invented and began to develop an entirely new and novel style of Grain Thresher and Separator, which they very appropriately named the “Vibrator,,” It was a revolution in Threshing Machines, and from a small beginning of five machines in 1858 they soon reached a product of 1,000 yearly. Their Vibrator drove the “Endless Apron” machine out of market, and all other makers copied it as closely as they dared. Today all Threshing Machines of any reputation or merit use the principles of the old Vibrator. Nichols & Shepard have continued in the business without change of name, location, or management; and during the past three years have brought out and developed another new Threshing Machine for grain and seeds, as superior to all existing machines as u.eir former was to the ‘ Endless Apron.’ They name this new and improved Thresher and predict as great a revolution in the trade, and as complete success over all rivals as they had thirty-one years ago. If you arc interested es a Farmer or Thresherman, write for particulars, which they send free. Address NICHOLS 8c SHEPARD. BATTLE CREEK. MICH. — Accessories to the Eldredge Sewing Machine can be procured of Mrs. Jas. W. McEwen.
