EDITORTAL NOTES.
The M'cst Shore for July is at hand,
nnd is fully up to its usual standard of
excellence. It is n publication Hint
should bb in'ovcrv household.
Tim (Sod of Nature never goes buck
on thc Union county funner. Not
witlistand'iig the direful prognostica
tions of ii mouth or so ago, the 'tiller
of the soil looks over his fields of
ripening grain and rejoices.
An Mili-niiineHi meeting in Sydney,
Australia, was attended by nearly '10,
000 people. Exchange. The anti-Olii-nese
meeting to bo held in this county
next November will be much more
largely attended than the one spoken
of by our exchange.
A total eclipse of the moon is billed
by astronomers to taku place on the
night of July 22, when tho satellite
passes through the center of tho
earth's shadow. The gicatest occupa
tion will occur at 10 o'clock v. at.
Tin: Maker City pa pern say that the
people- living in tho southeastern por
tion of Union county want to bo
annexed to Maker county. .Seems to
us like we heard some-thing of that
kind about a year ago, but when wo
sent a ntan up. to interview those en
terprising citizens, he couldn't liud
any of llieni.
Tin: J'rinon-Mirror, published in the
Sla to penitentiary at Stillwater, Min
nesota, is one of tho best writ ton ind
brightest exchanges on our list. Its
articles, both original and clipped,
show m null more than ordinary ability
in its make up, and tho moral influ
ence of such a sheet must prodtico a
better tone- among tho inmates of tho
prison,
Tiinin-: is no question of free trade hi
this cajnpaign and no party favors it.
.Democrats believe that t .o tarill'
should bo reduced from an average
duty of Id per cent, to about -10 per
cent., and that certain articles needed
by o.r manufacturers should bo placed
upon the list of articles imported free
of duty. This is not fiou trade, and
tho man who states it, states what is
false, and if ho is an intelligent man
ho knows he is doing to.
"Tu no. muck hi pink lo mo so, hop
long Hullison, fou sic chin chin.
Jloollali! JJully good man." This
melodious utteranco issued from tho
orifice in Sam King's countenance,
yesterday. Mr, Ming is one of our
moat respected oiti.ons and has a very
remunerative business hero in tho
blenching and drying lino. While tho
auditors did not fully grasp tho gentle
man's train of thought, it was quite
apparent from his beaming counten
ance that it was of a felicitous nature.
Among the Indians in town this week
was one well along in years who wore a
pair of blue army pants. ) look to
see some of the Republican editors,
about tho calibre of llarvey Scott, re
port an interview with him, toon, and
have hiinN ackiuiwledgo that ho was
Cleveland's substitute dining the war;
that ho contracted rheumatism,
Ilright's difcease, and otherwise porin
nncntly ruined his health in that gieat
htruggle nnd that Clove-laud failed and
neglected to pay him for his services
and refused his application for a pen
sion. "Ni: aro in receipt of the uixth annu

ty. It is a most oxuulleut institution,
possessing a largo Faculty of able
Professors and touchers, and is iu a
prosperous condition. The circular
states that tho sohool is entirely undo
lDniinntionul, no church having any
interest iu it whatever. There aro 77
free scholarships distributed to the
din'orent counties of tho State in pro
portion to tho school population. Un
ion county is entitled to two. The
applicant must present his application
to tho Suporintonlluut of Sohools of

of good moral character and snllloiunl

must sign a declaration to the ellect i
that ho is iu good health, anil his in

schools for a period of time tit least as
great as that spent on his scholarship.
This is a good ohanuo for sumo of our
young men oy women. Outnloguua
are sent free to all who applj for
them.

Says a. letter from Indianapolis,
General Harrison's home:

j This shows what kind of nn nristo
j crat Mr. Harrison is. JIo believes
i that honest labor should bo paid stnr-

man . Strange isn I it?
JG NOR ANT MTSllEPR KSENTA
TIONS. Thc Albany Herald nping thc Only
Kiys: Mr. Mills, in his speech before
congress in defense of bis bill, closed
in the following words:
Then every industry will .spring forward
nt ii bound, iiud wentth. prosperity nnd
power will I'ler.-i the Jnnd that Is dedicated
to freemen, fr.;e labor, and. hv trade.
The J)c)iiocral nails the falsehood as
follows: Now wo have examined Mr.
Mill's speecli na found on pages
3:52!J!):W.r inclusive, of Congressional
Itccord, and lind that he. made use of
no such language, lie closed his
speech with these words:
Although thc hill proposed in not nil wc
could havo-n.sked. although it is n very
moderate bill, yet it will nend comfort and
happiness into the homes and bosoms of
the poor laboring people of tills country
and 1 usl; you now in behalf of them to
consider their claim, and help to reduce
the hardens that have no long I men laid up
on their shoulder.
We nre. not surprised that the Xlcr
altl thus willfully nnd designedly mis
represents Mr. Mills. There is no
other way of attacking tho speech.
A REMARKABLE CJIANGE.
In 188-1 (bo republican national plat
form said:
The domocrntio party hns failed com
pletely to relieve the people of Hie burden of
unnecossjiry taxation by a who reduction
of the .surplus. The republican parly pled
ges iteif to rnrrrrt the iitrtualiliex of the
tariff anil to inlure the surplus.
This year tho samo party proposes
to givo the country frco tobacco, and
if that docs not reduce the surplus
sulllcienlly, to repeal tho whiskey tax.
This is the hsuo offered. Four years
ago the platform could have bold the
Mills bill nicely, for that measure is
precisely iu line with the pledge made
by both parties lo remove unneces
sary taxes, which woro denounced ns
a "burden" upon the people. Up
on whom is tho tax on whiskey and
tobacco a burdonV Upon no one. It
is a voluntary tax paid only by those
who use wbiskoy or tobacco, Its im
position is no burden. Its repeal will,
be no relief. Tho unnecessary and
burdoiisonio taxes aro those on tho
necessaries of life and those articles
without which tho business of tho
country cannot be transacted.
1 .HALLELUJAH.
Our Portland dispatches to-day
mention the fact that Portland busi
ness men aro greatly exercised over
over tho new freight schedulo that
will soon be put into effect by the
Transcontinental Association, where
by freight destined lo interior points
will cost no more than to terminal
points. This is good news, over the
rcciept of which the people of tho in
terior will rejoice. It will place towns
in the interior on an equality with
Portland, and levy a tribute no lon
ger upon thcin for the benefit of Port
land, us has been done in tho past.
Heretofore tho principle has been to
centralize; to build up a few -largo
cities at the exponso of many small
towns. The wrong is to bo righted
through the action of tho Iutcr-Stato
commerce commission, a democratic
institution iu principle us well us iu
naiiio. The Portland people aro al
armed that they are not lo bo protec
ted any more at tho expense of others.
The town-lot boomers of that city
will doubtless receive n sot back to
their business, but legitimtito trade
tho state over will bo greatly stimu
lated by this ehango m freight rules.
Simple justice is to bo given us, and
wo herald Its coming witli exultation.
Tho mills of tho gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceedingly well.
(Jlory, Hallelujah! a principle of true
free trade is to bo inaugurated.

PROTECTION AN OUTRAGE.
The talk about protection and beat
ing the democracy on that issue among
republicans is not nearly so loud and
emphatic as it was. Tho bosses liuvo
discovered that there is iu tho party a
strong counter current of opinions;
so strong iu fact that It is sweeping
the foot of those trying to stem it
from under them, A party that at
tempts to force Us way against tho
common sense of its own people may
succeed for awhile, but patiouce will
not endure forovor, and appearances
indicate that the Republican party
must modify its extromo demands up- '
ou us raiiK ami uie, or it will soon
find its solt pinched In its own camp
between tliu devil and thu deep son.
A reduction of thu tariff on the lead
ing uctiosftirtes of hfu has got to come.
Extortion on tliu part of capital has I
been carried so far Hint the most sub-
; servient partisan begins to squirm.

not refrain from taking the grist from
the toll. A wiser policy on t!ic part
of capital would have been to divide
with labor on tho score of profits; but
this it has not been inclined to do,
and it now finds its interests confron
ted by a general feeling of dissatisfac
tion. Nothing grows faster than
greed when it is well fed. It is the
meanest element iu human nature,
the inosl cncting, the most heartless
nnd the most audacious. Hence, the
matter of cultivating or stimulating it
in nny country is against humanity
mill reason. The practice of bestow
ing special favors upon any class in
this country must stop. It has been
carried to an extent already which
threatens the overthrow of our form
of government. Thc doctrine of equal
rights which is the bash of our struc
ture has been undermined by special
laws enacted in thc interests of capital.
The whole fabric begins to tremble
and show signs of weakness. Too
many have been provided with luxuri
ous accomodations iu the upper story.
Thc clement that must live on thc
ground iloor, and in the basement,
appreciates its situation and thc disre
gard that is shown for it. Tho work-
i ers sac that the lordlv drones eat up
the honey and devour the products of
their own toil, and that no redress has
been provided them. There is no use
of talking. Things have reached, or
aro fast reaching a crisis. Something
must be done , and that speedily, to
avert tho wrath tint has been kindled
by a sense of outrage. Tho great mass
of the American people find themselves
thus early iu tho history of their
country at tho mercy of a power that
has been conferred on capital. Turn
which way they may, and they will
find every avenue to prosperity in tho
bands of corporations and combina
tions. There is no escape from thc
tribute lliey exact. Pay it or stand
back, is their motto. No, tho peo
ple will not endure this tyranny
much longer, party or no party.

;lAr INEFFACEABLE 11 ECO ED.
It must be unpleasant for a good
many republicans to have the Con
gressional Record in their libraries.
Over and over again, for twenty years
tho leaders have talked tariff reform.
One after another tho parly whip has
swung them into lino against it.
Take the famous Forty-first Con
gress, when Colfax lead the senate and
Rlaino the boiiso. When Randall
brought iu a bill to put tea and coffee
on the frco list, sixty-two republicans
voted for it and thirty-nine voted to
add salt and coal. Speeches were
made for free wool, free iron and free
lumber.
.John A. Logan said: "AVowanta
reduction on tariff. We aro taxed on
overy interest ; blood is not only ex
tracted from tho larger veins of the
body politic but is bound hand and
foot and is covered with gallinippers,
who aro allowed lo suck blood from
every vein. ' '
Allison of low.i said: ''The tariff
of 1810 though a tariff for revenuo on
ly was so far as regards all tho great
interests of the country, as perfect a
tariff as any that we have over had."
1 lo favored taking tho tariff entirely
off raw material.
During this famous debate re-publicans
advocated one after another,
most of tho democratic tariff reform
principles of the presont tinio, but they
split on details, and nothing was ac
complished. Thoso things aro all written in the
doeu incntary evidence, .i'von so lato
as lt3S!l a man could bo a good mem
ber of tho republican party and still
favor lowering duties and enlarging
tho frco list. Hut now tho party has
crystalizcd; its war issues aro dead,
and all it has left is tho war tariff.
Therefore tho leaders of the party
would tain have tho nation forget that
they have for years talked tariff re
form. VAL 1jfoF A J) ) 'EH TJS1NG.
It is stated thai a gentleman on en
tering tho privuto office of a largo
wholcsalo establishment "in ono of tho
Middle States, was surprised at tho
largo number of nowspapors which ho
saw scattered about , many of them
country papers of little merit, which
ho supposed could be of no interest to
the merchants. On his expressing bis
surprUo. tho bond of the firm replied:
"We always subscribe for the load
ing paper iu tho city, town or village
iu which any of our customers reside.
We study tho advortislmr columns of
these papers with the utmost euro.
If wo find that oureustomer is n regular
advertiser and that his advurtisomonts
are prepared iu a careful and judicious
manner, we conclude that bo is doing
a good business and that wo can place
our confidence iu him. Our business
with him is conducted accordingly.
If , on the other hand, however, wc
fail to find his advertisement , or if it is
prepared in a, careless or unattractive
manner, wc take care not to carry
him for any large amount, and if wc
can conveniently refuse his patronage
1 altogether, wc do so. If we find that
I ho is advertising iu other newspapers
j than the lending one because it is
cheaper to do so, or tuat he is depend
ing on other cheap methods of adver
tising, wc know that his judgment
and business sagacity are not to bo
relied upon nnd wc keep n close watch
upon him. Wc have followed this
rule for a long time nnd wc seldom
make a mistake by judging our cus
tomers in accordance with it. By
closely watching tho advertising col
umns of thc local papers, wc deter
mine where to give credit and where
not to give it, and we seldom meet
with a heavy loss through thc failure
of customers who are indebted to
us."
Tips story illustrates one of i the
many benefits of judicious advertising.
j Not the business community alone,
f but the general public ns well, forms
its opinion of the standing and pros
pects of a firm, by its methods of ad
vertising. Nothing is more natuial
than for a stranger, .coining for the
first time into a city, to look over the
advertising columns of the lending
newspaper If he sees m attractive
and well arranged advertisement oc
cupying a good space, bo concludes
that, the firm to which it belongs is
one of the leading ones of the city and
that it is a safe ono with which to
have dealings. Such first impressions
arc usually iasting, and thev are scl-
i dom wrong.
