Copied from Our Chronicle Advertise ment. Understanding it to be the duty of a merchant, standing between consumers and the markets, to guard the interests of his trade in every way possible, we have not hesitated to add to our rapidly gro wing business, any and all lines demanded which it has been consistent with our ability to give. One year ago we opeued a harness de- partment ior tne reason tne demand was urgent and strong; and our sales were so arge we were induced to -keep it up. Hundreds and hundreds 01 seU of harness with collars, bridles, saddles, and all that belongs to the trade, have i-eon sold until our harness department has grown into a fixture in our establishment. From the hour of opening until nov our attention has been frequently called t-the great cuts made 111 prrce by our competi tors. Competition was at hand, and now it is no one-sided matter pricing a s l of harness. We believing in competition. We believe the purchasing public air en titled to ail they can get. v e told e ery body from the beginning there would be no combination with us, and to buy ihcir goods where they could get the most and best for the least money. We own a little stock in The Chronicle, do a little advertising in it, but have Lever found it necesSiiry yet to demand of it in violation of the rule of its present manage ment to let every advertiser present his own claims to the public in his advertise ment, to bolster up or defend our business editorilly in any way. Well, the Chronicle of to-day comes to the front editorially championing the interests of our competi tor in harness; avering to the purchasing public that harnass are made and said for less money by our competitor than in "New York, Baltimore, or Cincinnati," and "that it ought to be a matter of pride as it would be a matter of economy, that no one in Charlotte use a set of harness that is not manufactured in the city of Charlotte." Candidly, my interests and my all are identified with the interests of Charlotte, and if I believed that I cculd serve the interests of the purchasing . public, and do my whole duty as a merchant by declar ing favor of a monopoly of the" Uai-noss trade in Charlotte, I would do it. If the interests of public are to be main tained and kept up by refusing to buy from the markets abroad, from the great manufacturing industries of the Nation and the world, because some one is run ning a little shop at home, 1 have failed to comprehend the law which is for the public good. I say to one and all, if you can buy r.t home of home-made goods, as low as else where, by all means do it, Standing by the interests of those who have stood by us and in defense of the rights of the purchasing public who ar? entitled to better things than combinations and monopolies, we shall devote this one department of our business solely and en tirely to the interests of our trade. For twelve memths from today, our Bills lor purchase and Freight bills are at your dis posal. You can buy Harness at net cost to us. We can afford to do this for the public who have made our business what it is. HARNESS AT NET COST AT THE RACKET FOIL TWELVE MONTHS TO COME. We are not the aggressor in this matter, but the claim is made in the interests of our neighbors and we will, let them de monstrate it. If they establish their dec laration to the entire satisfaction of the public, that competition is unnecessary ana tnat tney are reauy doing what is claimed, we pledge you acquiescence as. readily as any one. We believe the purchasing public have rights which not only the manufacturer and merchant ought to respect but even the newspapers. It would be the height of folly to put ourselves or our interests in opposition to the editorial columns of a newspaper, and especially the ability and intelligence of the Chronicle; and we shall not do it, but we can turn to the public and say, see fob yourselves. Bring this with you and see our bills of purchase il you wish, and ii it will save you any money to buy Harness as low as wt? do you are very welcome to do so BENJ. SHIELDS, Fioor Manager."
