PRO CL AM ATION.
By the Tresidem' ok tfi k U. S I
'Washington City, Oct. 2i. 1877. f
The completed circle of summer and winter
- seed time and harvest has brought us to the
'.accustomed seasonal which religious people
celebrate with praise and thanksgiving the
-enduring mercy of Almighty God. This de
vout and public confession of the constant
attendance of man upon the Divine Father
for all good gifts of life and health, of peace
and happiness, so early in our history made a
habit of by our people, finds in the survey of
'the past year new grounds for its joyful and
-grateful manifestations in all the blessings
which descend upon benignant se:isons. This
lias been a memorable year over the wide
territory of our country. With all its diver
. sity of soil and climate and products, the
earth has yielded a bountiful return to the la
bor of the husbandman. The health of the
people has been blighted by no prevalent or
widespread diseases. No great disasters of
shipwreck upon our coasts or to our com
merce" on the seas have brought loss and hard
ship to merchants or mariners and the un
clouded happiness of community with sym
pathetic sorrow. In all that concerns our
strength and peace and greatness as a na
tion, in all that touches the permanence and
j security of our government and the benili
centinstitutions on which it rests ; in all that
atfects the character and dispositions of our
people and tests our capacity to enjoy and
uphold the equal and free condition of society
3s now permanent and universal throughout
thelhaid. The experience of the last year is
conspicuously marked by the protecting prov
idence of God, and is full of jiromise and
hope for coming generations, L nder a sense
of tlieso iinlufie obligations to the Great
Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us
humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frail
ties, if any degree of tliat perfect concord
and happiness, peace and justice which such
great mercies should diiluse through the
hearts and lives of our people do not alto
gether and always and everywhere .prevail.
Let us with onesphtt and one voice lift up
praise and thanksgiving to God for his maai
lold, goodness to our land, and hi? .manifest
eare-for the naticai.
Sow, thcr&ore, T. Rutherford B. JIayes,
President of the united States, do appoint
Thursday, the)th day of November next, as
a day of national thanksgiving and prayer,
and i earnestly cecommeud that witlid rawing
themselves from secular cares aii'l labors. ;he
,people of the United States do meot together
on that day in their respective places ol wor
ship, there to give thanks and praise to Al
mighty God for Hls mercies, and. to devoutly
beseech their continuance, -

Scteatiiic Adrertisim?.
The Springfield Republican
calls attention to the fact that ad
vertising on board fences and
dead walls is being abandoned
from a conviction of its general
uselessness. The practice was rec
ently denounced at the convention
of Stove Manufacturers of the couu
try. at Detroit, where the President
said:
If wo would make the best possible use of
our money wesnouia patronize aoiy con
ducted and responsible newpnper. He
added: "the newspaper is immeasurably
the best medium open to our trade; the
most liberal and expert advertisers testily
to its value, and in the employment ol its
columns we would find a means of escape
lrom wasteful undignified and ineffective
methods."
Live commercial men everywhere
are fully sensible of the great ben
erit derived from adveriiMiig All
the great fortunes, especially in the
retail trade, have been made by
that process. Advertising means
the bringing home to the greatest
number of people possible a knowl
edge of the things which one has for
sale. In large communities thou
sands of persons tin. that they are
in need of a certain article. There
are miles on miles of stores where
they will be sure to find it. But
they do not want to spend a large
amount or time hunting for it. It
is just at this point that the experc
advertiser makes his hit. lie has
managed by some method of reach
ing the public eye to impress the
fact upon a majority of individuals
that he is the man who has the arti
cles sought to sell and on the most
reasonable terms. They go strai
ght to his store and make their
nurchase, while the small number
that had not been impressed by his
advertising jro floundering about
till they obtain what they want.
They fall to the tradesman who
has done no advertising. Ilis buis
nets, tor this reason, is one of acci
dent. His sole dependence is loca
tion. 13ut for some time there has been
a doubt as to the best methods of
disseminating the knowledge, nec
essary to success in businesas, at
least as regards miscellaneous ad
vertising. Board fences and dead
walls everywhere are covered with
advertisements. The punels of
street cars; the entrances to the fer
lies and all places where there is
a constant gathering of the masses
are tilled with inviutions to buy.
But it is beginning to be a question
whether any real benefit is derived
from this practice. The purchaser
who is caught by this method has
io carry away in his memory the
number and street. For this feat
few are competent A great many
do not care to take so much trouble.
Again, these advertisements are so
scattered that the result is mental
coufusion. One brings away wilh
him an idea in which all sorts of
incongruous things are mixed up.
Impossible elephants and pre-Rap-haelile
sketches do not help mat.
ters. The chances are that the de
vice gels attached to the wrong
thing. In addition to this, there is
something akiu to resentment in
the minds ot most persons at this
unwarrantable intrusion on their
privacy. There is a desire to look
upon a fence, or a wall, or a land
scape without being reminded that
somebody "lias something to sell.
The newspaper is open to none
of these objections. Under the
system of classitication which now
prevails, what is wanted can be
reached in a moment. Besides, it
is at home where the newspaper is
that people makes up their minds
to purchase. They are not, in one
case in ten thousand, reminded by
posters or rude paintings that they
want something. They dodge the
dodgers whenever that nuisance
preseuts itself. If the tact could be
o-ot at," we think it would be found
that not one buyer m a thousand
has been attracted by all the taw
dry advertising that is so liberally
spread along the streets and roads
leading through and to the city.
Jfor the reasons stated no hing else
could be expected, for to fix on the
mind the locality of one's bmsness
1 and the articles one has for sale,
more .is required than a fence ad
vertisement, which is never more
I than naif digested, if it is not abso
lutely ignored through resentment.
