i How to M$k Money. '
VVu6dHl6WMyTooiilisSt
muku money with the plater that I
had. There are so mauy things
about the plating biluness that I
did not understand. It was not un
til I saw the adverismcnt of Gray &
Co. Plating Works, Columbus, Ohio,
that I commenced to make money.
The Boyal Plater is sent by this
I ouse and all the trade secrets con
nected with the plating business,
such as aro necessary in tho great
g.u'u aud silver plating factories are
given free. As booh as I got the
Royal Plater I made money right
along. Last week I cleared 72.."0,
and everybody is delighted with my
work. Anyone who has had trouble
with their plating machines, as I
have, should sent to the above firm
and obtain their circulars, aud they
will be able to make lots of money
as I have done. Tho Uoyal Plater
is lilted out complete, everything
ready for business; you do not have
to spend a cent for materials. Dur
n g these hard times this informa
tion is valuable.
We publish this week a letter on
tho monetary question. This will
be, aud in fact is now, tho great
question of the day. Tho subject is
worthy of our serious consideration.
Wo aro not responsible for tho views
expressed, but wo kindly invito a
froo discussion of all shades of this
problem.
A Late Newsiai'Ek Law. It fre
quently happens that a publisher re
ceives word from somo distant post
master remains uncalled for, party
moved. It is a common occurrence
for subscribers by quietly slipping
away and not paying what is duo on
tho paper. The new postal laws
make it larcency to take a paper aud
and then refuse to pay for it, and
acting ou this a newspaper pro
prietor brought suit against forty
three men who would not pay their
subscriptions, and obtained judg
ment in each case for the amount of
each claim. Of these twenty-eight
made affidavit that they owned no
more than the law allowed thus pre
venting attachment. Then, under
the decision of the supreme court,
they were arrested for petit larceny
and bound over in the sum of $300.
All but six gave bond, who went
to jail A subscriber is in duty
bound to pay his subscription the
same as any other debt, and the law
is right and just, as it should be. If
be would contract a debt at a grocery
be would expect to be made pay for
it. Tbe same is true of subscription.
He contracted the debt and should
be made to pay for it.

A lAMNAlll.K I.I l liY SITS IN IWUl ASfE
AT THE STATE I VI'ITI
Tho tate Legislature is a luxury.
Tho quicker we rid ourselves of this
expensive side di( the hapricr will
bo the pvoplcof Pennsylvania. Per
haps wo should not say anything
mean about this Legislat ure, because
it has beeu aery liberal one. - liber
al with the state fun. Is. They pro
pose to create n. w unices, raise sal
aries, retire .Iu l ;. s on full par and
spend their time legislating to pay
political debts with the 'leujil.-'s
money. The most judicious appro-

State lieasury i that devoted lo
the support of (lie public schools.
Now since the :. . 1 for money runs
rampant and the revenues will not
permit of such extravagance, they
propose to cut down the appropria
tion to the pill lie schools. The only
benefit Snyder county receives is
through her public schools. She
can expect no ai l for charitable or
penal institutions and she asks
nothing for harbor improvements.
Through her representative she has
protested against the creation of
new offices : against the increase of
salaries and against the judicial re
apportionment which is designed on
ly to create new offices.
Tho idea of cutting this judicial
district down to Suyder and Union
Counties is simply preposterous.
The three counties iu this judicial
district do not require so much

Mr. Herman has pursued a course
free and independent of the bosses
and carefully guarded the interests
of his constituents. There are per
haps 40 or .VI other honest men iu
the Legislature. A day should be
appointed and the faithful legislators
requested to retire in order to avoid
humiliation. The hornv handed
sons of toil provided with an ample
supply of shot gnus should be sum
moned from the uttermost parts of
tho state, arrayed iu battle lines iu
the interior of the legislative halls
anil the political corruptionists com
pelled to retire. The liberty loving
people of the state could well afford
to raise a purse to maintain this
guard to prevent tho public robbery
of the state funds. God speed the
tith of June, the day set for final ad
journment. To the Sunday School Workers.
As the time is approaching for the
Annual Sunday School Convention,
all Sunday school workers should
use their best endeavors to have
this the best convention ever held
in the County. We should not be
satisfied to remain ou the same plan
from year to year but should en
deavor to advance along all linos of
Sunday school work. Tho oilicors
alone cannot make tho association a
success but by all uniting iu a grand,
earnest, prayerful effort, we can make
it a success. ThiH is no timo to lie
supinely on our backs waiting for
somo effort to bo made by others,
but it is our duty (and by our we
mean all workers) to bo up and do
ing. The executive committeo fas
lias been noticed in tho papers be
fore,) have selected Seliusgrove as
the next place of meeting, owing to
the death of our Co-laborer, Bro.
J. A. Smith. Seliusgrove will give
you a voyal welcome. Come, one
and all and receive inspiration from
the workers of this and other coun
ties. The officers are eudeavoring
to get Borne prominent S. S. worker
from a distance who will assist in
making the meetings interesting as
well as profitable. The executive
committee no doubt will arrange a
good program of topics and speak
ers, others can study the topics and
many can say a word that will en
courage and strengthen weak ones.
Let us all be up and doing from now
on until the last session. Yours in
tbe work. M. L. Wagenseller, Pres.
