it is Absurd
For people to expect a cure for Indiges
tion, unless they refrain from eating
what is unwholesome ; but if anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
to the digestive organs, it is Ayer’s Sar
saparilla. Thousands all over the land
testify to the merits of this medicine.
Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth
street, South Boston, writes : “ My hus
band has taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for
Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has
been greatly benefited.”
A Confirmed Dyspeptic.
C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st.,
Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured. (
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street,
Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians, nor any of the remedies
advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia,
helped her, until she commenced the
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Three
bottles of this medicine,” she writes,
“ cured me.” •

Inhjp, at the crossroad groceries of the
So Khern »Sta»es, wherecotton is sold;
at •jualid, wind-swept Western agri-
culAiral towns, or at the so-called
cithV where cowboys trade—he will
fin A, if the town Is prosperous or the
rtouo'i productive, that keen-witterl
fofmgii-born traders control the trade
of tl./t«wu. If money is to he made in
a Jew will probably own
Fie largest and l>e.;l stocked store in

a German ora Hcandiua-
<>wns the store. It is seldom
tli rt an -American who lias sprung
fro*. a line of American ancestors is
prominent in the mercantile trade of
any email town.
The Germans, the Scandinavians
and the' Jews are apparently horn
trad -te. It is said, and popular belief
ind^rso* the saying, that i he Jews are
thc-Y-est traders on earth. I doubt the
trot i of this saying. I think that the
Gerinans and ihe Scandinavians are
fiiif the equals of the Jews in bus-
ine. « foresight, in economy of nian-
age^ACtit, and insetting Hie best of a
bargain. And the poorest trader of
Hie^lHree, ail'things being equal, is
To come East and to Long Island.
Who would believe that it was possi-1
hie for a German agricultural laborer!
to leave his native laud and seek work
in a community composed of intelli
gent Yankees and in sixteen years,
two of which he spent in working on
a farm to make $12,0)9, and during
that time the Americans among
whom lie lived barely held their
or steadily grew poorer
statement that hardly
would believe. But it is true.

To JillustrateXhe superior commor-
ciul ilist inet of the foreign-horn mer-
el.antfs who are engaged in trade in
the West, I cite Davenport. Iowa.
Thirty. J'ears ago Davenport was an
important Mississippi River town.
The trade of the young city was con
trolled by Americans/ They made
money rapidly and spent it with tree
hands. When the war broke out
Davenport was one of the most beau
tiful towns in Iowa. The volume of
business increased. Money was in
plentiful supply, and it was spent
freely to improve and beautify the
city, of which every merchant in
town was proud. During tiie war a
sagacious Scandinavian, in whom the
irading instinct was strong, arrived
at Davenport. He was poor. He
hired a small building and stocked
one of the front rooms with dry goods.
He and bis children tended the store.
Not a cent was spent for clerk hi.e.
He sold his goons for a little less
money than his richer Air rican com
petitors. His list of prices was prompt
ly carried to the American merchants.
I’bey met to consider iiis case. A few
of life Americans were in favor of
reducing the p. ice of their goods suf
ficiently to bankrupt the fceandina-
vian, which would then have been
eas3’ to do. These men said, witli
prophetic wisdom, that if lie was
allowed to continue in business his
lower prices would surely attract the
women to his store, and that they
would trade there. They argued Hint
lie was at no expense for clerk hire;
that he lived cheaply in a few poor
rooms, and that if he was not prompt
ly crushed he would eventually crush
them. Trade, they said was warfare,
and the proper time to attack an
antagonist was ftlien he was weak
and poor, and it was folly to wait
until he became powerful before at
tacking him. They shook their hands
waruingly at the merchants who were
relubtant to act and said : “Crush him
now or you will regret it.” The uu-
wisi merchants shrugged their shoul
ders to express contempt, and said,
scofingly: “Let the Dutchman alone
(all) immigrants from Central and
N< /hern Europe were contemptuous
ly (illled Dutchmen in those days.)
He j. ill get no trade excepting from
verj poor people. American ladies
not frequent his ill-lighted room.”
ic Scandinavian was allowed to
*uct his little business in peace.
ie was a warrior in trade. HD
'creed was that competition was
ife of trade, and that business was
cealeless warfare in which victory
waa always won by tiie most econoin-
ieamy conducted force. The women
of (Davenport and of Hoott County,
Io\va, diii trade at the dingy shop. To
sa\T.‘ a few cents they built up his
trajle, and supplied him with tiie
me Inns which enabled him to begin a
cm ipetitive war which lie waged
against their husbands and friends
un il lie bankrupted every native-
born merchant in town excepting the
tin* owner of a wholesale house. And
tliis man, the last of the old mer-
ch mts who traded in Davenport, will
sp:edily he forced to quit business.
As the Scandinavian prospered, lie
extended his business. To-day lie;
ov ns the largest store in town and)
‘ employs about seventy clerks. His I
! eu i-cess is entirely due io the fact that j
was u more sagacious trader and !
ore economical in his management
an the Americans whom he lias'
nkrupted. To-day his competitors
Davenport are Germans and Jews,
ie foreign-horn merchants own the
slores in which the Americans used
tj transact business. They live in the
nises tiie Americans built for homes,
lie) are rich and steadily growing
UcIWT. And the Americans whom
V few
years ago a German named John
sachenk suspected that Von Moltke
had Iiis eye on him and intended to
place a rifile in iiis hands and make a
perambulating target out of iiim for
Frenchmen to shoot at, so he left Ger
many and came to America and to
the eastern end of I«ong Island. He
found work on a farm. The profits
derived from Long Island agriculture
were small, far too small to satisfy
the shrewd, hard-working German,
When Belienk had saved suflicieift
money to start in trade for himself lie
laid down tiie hoe and hung the scythe
and looked around for a business. He
wanted a sure thing, and lie speedily
found a safe and highly profitable
business which had been neglected or
mismanaged by its American owner.
He bought a butcher’s business and
outfit. He set up a horse and market
wagon. Daily, excepting Sundays lie
loaded fresli meat and fat fowls into
his wagon mid drove from house to
house to sell his stock in trade. He
supplied meat to the people who kept
boarders during (lie summer mouths.
He catered for city people who own
houses by the seashore. He charged
a stiff profit on every pound of meat
he sold. He Imu no bad debts. His
meat wagon and butcher’s shop were
always sweet smelling and elouii. To
day lie is no longer spoken of as “that
Dutchman.” He is worth at lea«t
$12,000, and is addressed as “Mr.
Schenk.” He annually makes more
money than any native horn trader
who does business in the township of
South Hampton. If lie lives for 2(*
years lie will own a large portion of
the township. If he lived in the Wsst
ha would be called “Col. Schenk.”
His success is entirely due to tireless
industry, supplemented bv economy
and cleanliness. His predecessors in
the butchering business h id been in
telligent Yankees, not one ot whom
had been snccesrful.
People who are unable to leave New
York can see the process ot gathering
the trade of the country into the
hands of foreigners going on under
their eyes, Merchants wiio are slili
in business in New York can remem
ber when the commerce and trade of
the town were absolutely controlled
by Americans, and when almost all
the signs which hung above shop
doors bore the names of English-
speaking people. How is it now?Ride
down Broadway in a street ear and
look at the beautiful buildings which
line that thoroughfare. The stores
are large and filled with costly goods,
huffu'iiy one-lialf of these stores are
owned by foreigners. If the sign of
an old American firm is removed it is
almost invariably replaced by one
bearing a name which terminates in
“shine”, or “berg”, or “baiiiu” or
“wold”, or “child.” Other streets in
New Y’ork afe almost wholly given
over to foreigners. The American
importers of dry goods have been

Observant Americans speak of the
fact that tiie trade of this country is
rapidly p using, and in many towns
has already passed, into the hands of
foreign-horn merchants, *nd they sav
carelessly, as they shrug their shoul
ders: “It cannot he beli ed. It is the
result of tiie working of the natural
law of the survival of the fittest.”
They then curse the foreigners and
drink a cocktail to their speedy down
fall.

Macon Ga., Oct., 23.—[Special.]—
Tiie third day of the State Fair Was a
great success as regards attendance.
Every train arriving last night and
this morning was packed with pas
sengers. The holds, boarding houses
and many private residences are
crowded to overflowing. The number
of visitors is estimated at 25,000 lo 30,-
000. Il would have been fully 50,0 K)
but for the terrible weather. It com
menced raining yesterday and con
tinued all night, and showers fell
during to-day. Notwithstanding that
fact a great crowd thronged the fair
grounds. Many new exhibits were in
position to-day, and the exhibition i»
now complete and perfect in appear
ance. The display is universally con
sidered brilliant and highly success
ful. Several delayed exhibits arrived
this afternoon from the Piedmont Ex
hibition. Great crowds are expected
to attend the fair to-morrow. Trains
arriving to-night were heavily laden.
CAltlXO FOR THE CHIEF.
Owing to the severe weather, the
veterans’ review by Jefferson Davis,
appointed for this morning, was post
poned until to-morrow morning. The
management is unwilling to subject
ihe illustrious cnieftuin to exposure
and thus jeopardize iiis health—per
haps life. When tiie committee noti
fied Mr. Davis of their decision tiie
grand old man said he was in their
hands to do as they and the people
saw fit ; that so far as lie was con
cerned, neither wind or rain would
prevent him making the review.
When tiie veterans and visitors gen
erally were told of tiie postponement
there was no dissenting voice, but
they made the welKin ring with
shouts for Davis and declared they
would not sanction any exposure of
that venerable and dearly loved form.
Every one lias concluded to remain
over to-morrow and participate in the
grand demonstration and the oration
to the great ex-Presidont. Mr. Davis
could not possibly obtain a stronger
testimonial of the great love the
people bear him than the manner
tiiey received the announcement of
tiie postponement of the review.

REVIEW.
Augusta Chronicle.
Newberry. S. C , Oct., 25.—Spe.-
cial.—Night before last, at what w as
intended ns a social gathering of ne
groes in the suburbs of our town, a
difficulty arose, and Chief of Police.!.
Henry Chappell was sent for and
went promptly to tiie scene. Upon
arrival he was surrounded by several
men, seized and disarmed, and slight
injuries inflicted on his person. By
this timeOtficer Yancey Miller was on
the grounds, and he vtoo was ap
proached by ten or twelve men,
whom lie ordered to halt, and as they
continued.to advance he opened fire
and the object of his first aim fled has
tily.
It was then ncecessary to turn and
check the advance in the rear, which
tiie gallant officer did quick as thought
and even a third fire was neccessary
to disperse the villians. The matter
was regarded as an unfortunate row
in which the powerwpf the brute large
ly predominated. Or Monday morn
ing. however, near 1 he scene in a field
was found the body of a dead negro.
He proved to lie the victim of officer
Miller’s first aim. A jury was at once a,
summoned and an inquest held, the ;
verdict of wliicli, was that the negro ’
came to his death from a pistol />
wound in tiie hands of Yancey Mil
ler, who was in the discharge of his
duty.
Officer Miller will apply for bail,it is
said,and stand iiis trial.

The Daily Sun is permitted to Drillt
the following extract from a letter
irorn a gentleman of Charleston to his
daughter. It explains itself :
“You ask me whether 1 would not

yes, perhaps, A large crowd is inter
esting always, and I would not object
to seeing the President and doing him
honor, for he is, I think, a true, brave
man, and if Mrs. Cleveland is as bon-
nie as they say she is, of course I’d
like to see her. But, my dear, my
heart would he far, far away with an
old and lonely man, bowed, not s*

venerated him once can now dis

him.

Greenville News.
At the time when tiie Atlanta Con
stitution was displaying supurb mean
ness in belittling Charleston's earth
quake calamity, and counseling the
wrtholding of contributions from the
stricken city’, the Greenville News re
marked that Atlanta’s time would
come. It has come now. Atlanta
has been visited by thousands of
strangers and they have come away
disgusted. The city made a mis
erable failure in entertaining its
guests.
Next week, Charleston begins her
“Gaia week.” Thousands of people
will go from every section ol the Slate
and the time of Charleston’s triumph
will be when she sends her guests
away pleased with tiie city' and
pleased with their treatment. Every
one who knows the city, is assured
that she will do this. \Ve do not
need the Daily Ssiin’s assurance that
“no guest can go hungry or slsep
cold,” in Charleston.

a le.v remarks of glowing eloquence
and melting pathos. He was greeted
by tiie wildest and most enthusiastic
cheering. Tiie demonstration ex

in Macon. Veterans wept, hurrahed
and yelled. It was an inspiring scene.
Gov. Gordon followed Mr. Davis in a
speech of burning patriotism and
beauty that thrilled and delighted
every one.
A DRAMATIC EPISODK.
A dramatic episode occurred during
the ovation. Captain T. T. Musen-
burg the late gallant commander of
the Jackson artillery, bore in tiie line
the old and tattered tlag of the Jack-
son artillery, which passed through
twelve battles. When Mr. Davis saw it
he wept in great emotion, clasping i!
to ins bosom and then waved it over
his head, which action was received
with great shouts by the throng. He
also tore a piece from its folds. Tin*
veterans desired to shake hands with
him, but lie did not have sufficient
strength for this ordeal, and they had

and a few remarks.
