Look at the Rensselaer Union and see whether a railroad does not make business lively. We live iu hojie.— Lowell Bnlerpri&e. Yes, the railroad proves a great auxiliary to the transaction of business, and it also has made business and will make still more, especially after it is completed to Chicago. But it is presumed that the healthy appearance of Tub Union’s local advertising columns has suggested the comment; and if so the inference that it depends altogether or largely upon the railroad, is a mistaken one. The business men of Rensselaer nave always been liberal advertisers, and the railroad owes existence to their enterprise and money, not their business to. the road. One of the merchants of Rensselaer, Mr. Leopold, io one year patronized these columns io the extent of more than $250, and that, too,-before the railroad was built. And he said that it paid him. The Union endeavors to make advertising pay its patrons, consequently maintains a large local circulation; it publishes a “dead’Tofe disreputable advertise-

ment to “fill a cheap foreign advertisement, thus (discriminating against home patrons; its prices are nlwuys rehMmahlc. In this connection a reduction is announced in tire tariff for locals or reading notices. Hereafter the charge will be five cents a line instead of ten cents for first publication. and three cents instead of fire for each subsequent publication i •without change of type.
