E, the self appointed, yet, sincere and careful guardians
of the people’s household expenses, do hereby proclaim
the appropriateness of the Thanksgiving season, and
Whereas, While the immutable laws of Supply & De
mand* have reduced the marketable value of our most staple
productions; still, we have been enabled to leduce the prices
on the most staple articles of consumption, and so with the
wail of cotton at 7c. (you hear the echo.) Tumblers, 3c. each
—surely for every bitter there is a sweet, and
Whereas, While the Protectionists of the classes have
increased the duty ou tin over 120 per cent., we the Protectors
of the masses, have lowered the tariff you have been used to
ou tin, and, while ye Custom House officials proclaim duty
increased $2.20 on tin for (comes the echo) “Sweeping reduc
tions on tinware at the Peoples’ Artesian Confer,” and
Whereas, While with these grey and sombre mornings
comes the winters winds, the biting frosts and shivering
shakes, ’till one’s frozen mind almost congeals, and icy
thoughts displace warm regards; still then there is provided
for you all a line of stoves and heaters, whose brightness and
warmth will dispel the dreariest chills ot existence and per
vade your being with a warm thankfulness as will echo back
compliments of tbe season to Artesian Corner Stores, and
Whereas, We have proclaimed the appropriateness of
the season to all, we commend it to quiet thought and
consideration. Be ye thankful for the favors you receive, and
if you are wrong in doing this; then, we are with you too.
