ImDOriaot True.

We call the attention of our read
ers to the article which we copy in
another column, from the Toledo,
Blade, in regard to a new line of
railroad, under the above name.
which, it is said, is soon to be built
by company of English capitalists.
We have heard nothing of such an
enterprise being on foot until within
the past few weeks, and cannot say
whether the statements made con-
cerning it are reliable or not, but
they certainly look plausible, and we
hope they will prove to be well found
ed. Should the proposed road be
built, it will pass down the Scioto
Valley and intersect the line of the
Southern Ohio Railroad at or near
Piketon, about 40 miles east of Hills
boro, and all we will have to do to
get connection with the road will
be to finish the Southern Ohio from
Hillsboro to that point Our citi-
zens will thus see that they have a
Observation-Disclosures in the projected
road, and no doubt they will await
further developments with some anx-
iety. We shall not fail to report any
new facts we may learn in connection
with the matter.

The Currency Question Set
lied.

Congress has adopted the report
of the conference committee, fixing
1882, 100000 as the maximum circu-
lation of legal tenders. This amount
cannot be reduced without action of
Congress. The reserve on eircula
ton is abolished, and the banks are
free to loan all their resources ex-
cept the reserve on deposit. The
Cincinnati Gazette says: "The abo-
lition of the reserve and the legalizing
and keeping out of the 30 million
greenbacks is equal to an imitation OF
60 millions. 1t does not create any
more paper money, but it provides
for the constant use of money pre-
viously created, that was locked up
in bank vaults or in the United
States Treasury. 1t also provides
for taking IS million national bank
circulation from the East and giving
it to Western States that have moi
their proportion per capita; but it is
stipulated that not more than sc
millions of this shall be transferred
in on year. ICin. Cincinnati Ga

Michigan & Ohio Railroad.

We have reliable information that
contracts for the construction of
this important line of railway were
entered into in the city ofNew York
last week with the well known and
energetic contractors, G. Rowland
White & Co, of Columbus, Ohio
The work will commence immediate
ly at Grand Haven, the best shipping
point on the east boundary of Lake
Michigan, and progress south. Just
what line through Ohio the company
may adopt, will depend somewhat on
the iberality and public spirit of the
citizens throughout the country
along the respective routes, as we
understand two lines are in contem-
plation. The southern terminus of
the road win be Portsmouth, Ohio,
between which place and Grand
Haven an almost air line of four
hundred miles in length can be OBJ
tanned on easy grades, through one
of the richest agricultural and mineral
regions in the west. At Portsmouth
connection will be made with the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, already
completed and in operation through
the States of Virginia and West
Virginia, connecting with the Allan
tic seaboard at Norfolk, Va, and
Baltimore.
1t will be seen at a glance that
the line, when once completed, will
form one of the grandest and most
successful railroad enterprises on the
continent.
1t is in one sense North and
South road, connecting the Lakes
with the waters of the great AIissis-
sippi Valley, but at the same time it
is grand trunk line between the
East and the West, giving our peo-
pie another outlet to the European
markets via Norfolk; also, connecting
at Staunton, Va, with the B. & o.
Road, forming direct line to Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York,
and penetrating the richest coal and
iron beds of Southern Ohio and
West Virginia, the inexhaustable
plaster beds and lumber districts of
Northern Michigan, as well as the
rich grain and stock growing region
of the State of Ohio. The pine
lumber districts ofMiehigan, through
which the road posses, produce six
hundred million of feet of lumber
annually. The well known ability
and energy of Mr.. White, who viii
have charge of the work, is a guaran-
tee of its successful progress.
If the people along the line of the
Road are not blind to their interest,
they will exert all their ability to Sc
cure the location of the line in such o
manner as to give them its direct
advantages. The President of the
Road is James S. Gibbs, of Buffalo,
whose reputation for integrity, en-
terprise and business sagacity is ex-
celled by no man in that city.
Hon. G. G. Stowe and DIR. Bath
rick of Michigan, who have been in
defatigable in working up the enter
prise, are officers of this road and are

From the Chillicothe Gazette.
DR.. William Henry Harrison
Dunn.

DR.. William Henry Harrison
Dunn.
This is the name of Hillsboro
gentleman,
"a youth to fortune, and to fame unknown"
who aspires to Congressional honors
upon the sole grounds that he is a
good Democrat and has been q mar
tyr to the whisky cause. The whisky
INTEREST," is very dear to the heart of
the Democracy, and we would not
regard it as at all inconsistent for
them to shelve Mr.. Neal and shove
Mr.. Dunn to the front. Mr.. Dunn is
doubtless a man they can rely upon.
He can be depended upon to do ali
in his power to reduce the tax upon
whisky, and will not be likely to make
himself ridiculous by attempting a
speech upon any of the issues of the
hour. He will therefore be q more
proper representative of his constitu-
ency than will Mr.. Neal, and it may
be that during his swing around the
circle he has made sufficient friends
among the rabble to secure his nom
ination. DR.. Dunn would doubtless
be valuable acquisition to Congress
sional society. Being an apothecary,
and used to retailing liquor, he could
fix up their little drinks at their So
cial gatherings without putting them
to additional expense; besides he
could make their purchases for them,
as having been dealer in the article
he is doubtless a good Judge. In
return for this, they could tell him
how to vote, and if necessary, or if
he insisted upon it, they would
probably write him little speech,
and instruct him how to deliver it.
Before the crusade, the Doctor
would not have stood a ghost of a
chance for the nomination, not be-
cause he was not as deserving as he
is now, nor because he was any more
unable to perform the duties required
of him, but then his virtues weren' t
known; even Stafford only knew of
him as the proprietor of place
where he could get something to take
when called to Hillsboro. In the
past four months, however, he has
become famous; his name and repu-
tation have been taken up by the
Hebrew of the wire and spread from
Maine to Texas, and who knows but
that like our own worthy citizen he
is already in receipt of a letter from
Rear Admiral Dahlgren's widow,
lauding him to the skies for the no
bic AMI independent stand he has
tiken? For our part we would like
to see DR.. Dunn receive the nomina-
ton. We admire consistency, and
we do not see how the Democratic
party can pursue any other course
and maintain its well known reputa-
ton for consistency. We know just
where Mr.. Dunn stands, and how to
rate him, but well known temper
ance man like Mr.. Neal upon q whis-
ky platform is an anomaly, and we
scarcely know how to take him.
There is only one thing that would
worry us ifDunn should be nominal
ed. He might be elected, and then
what is Judge Stafford to do for a
client? For this reason if for no
other, should the Doctor be nomin-
ated, we shall work for his defeat,
for although we recognize fully the
great assistance he would be to
Congressional tea parties, yet we
cannot bear to see Stafford thus i'm.
poverished.

TO BUSINESS MEN

ADVERTISING IS FOUNDED UPON THE
FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH THAT HE WHO DE-
SIRES TO HAVE THE BEST SUCCESS MUST
HAVE THE WIDEST ACQUAINTANCE AND
BE THE BEST KNOWN.
The merchant who opens a store on principal
thoronghfare, and puts up attractive sign, does
so TO attract the attention OF the public but when
he transfers the sign to the columns of widely
circulated newspaper, he places so many signs be-
fore the eye of the public, with this great difference
that only the passers-by see the one on the store,
while the sign placed in the columns of widely
ycirculated newspaper goes after the public, seeks
1t out, hunts it down In It's private walks and ways,
and compels it to he observant in spite of ITSELF
In making the sign for the store care is taken to
make ii attractive, and TO this end the best skill is
employed. The same care should be taken in pre-
pairing the sign-board for the newspaper-to see
that il is prominent, that 1t Is well printed, and that
it expresses clearly, fully and definitely some busi-
ness idea and that it is made fresh fr1m time to
time and that it gives the hest value Tor the outlay
Many years experience and constant practice ought
10 be worth something In such matters.
Newspaper advertising is now recognized, by busi-
ness men having faith in their own wares, as the
most effective means for securing for their goods
wide recognition Of their merits.
Newspaper advertising impels inquiry, and when
the article offered is Of good quality and at fair
price, the natural result is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is permanent addition to
the reputation of the goods advertised, because
1t is a permanent influence always at work in
their interest.
Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and
vigilant of salesmen addressing thousands each
day, always in the advertisers interest, and
ceaselessly at work seeking customers from all
classes.
Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for even
in the dullest times advertisers secure By far the
largest share of what is being done. ju1sn
