THE New York Times, commenting on the
operations III Tunis, says the experience Of
the French bids fair to be a fac si7,silc of
that of the English in Afghanistan; that the
French troops are preparing to advance upon
Kairiyan, the t1loly City" Of the Tunisian
Arabs: as the English recently advanced
upon Candahar, in Afghanistan;. that the
Bey, like Ayoob Khan, has made a seemingly
vigorous effort to induce the rebels to sub
nit, having no doubt privately encouraged
them to resist; and that the parallel
will doubtless be completed BY the
desert1on OF the native troops sent to CO.
operate with the French and their appear
ance in tho ranks of the enemy. There may
be some points of resemblance between the
Afghan aud the Tunisian campaigns, but the
one is by no means fac si1nitc Of the other,
as the Times states. On the other hand,
there is one difference so radical that it de-
stroys the whole parallel. Tie English in
their Afghan campaign had to traverse dis
tance Of 1000 miles. through the Mediter-
ranean, Suez Canal, Red Sea, and Indian
Ocean, and, when they were in Afghanistan,
march over many weary miles of mountain
GUS country, presenting almost insurmount-
able obstacles TO the progress Of an army,
while the country they invaded was four or
five times as large as Tunis. The French are
only days sail away from Tunis, and
can strike its coast at any point from
Marseilles in twenty-four hours. It is no
more difficult for the French to prosecute
their operations along the Tunisian coast
than it is for Chicago to conduct her COM
merce along the Michigan shore, while Eli
gland laborcd under the difficulties and de
lays that Chicago would experience in con-
ducting commerce with Europe. It is alb
surd to suppose for All instant that thirty
millions Of people, with all the material Of
war and transportation, cannot, if they are so
disposed, overwhem two millions of fanat-
ical Arabs only twenty-four hours distant by
sen from them. The job might be dis
agreeable one, but it would be OF short dura-
tion ii undertaken in earnest, however brave
the Arabs might prove themselves to be.

ONE prominent cause of the immense emi-
grafton from Germany to this country may
be found in the small remuneration paid for
labor. In recent publication of wage-sta-
tistics, it is found that III one of seven
districts for .wlicl, the statistics are given
the average weekly wages Ut plasterers, who
are compelled to work eleven hours d day,
are sG.4:; week; 1aborers receive only 81;
carpenters and joiners from SS.57 to s.70;
]ocksmiths, 44aa9: tailors, working twelve
hours daily, s1.43, with board and lodging,
and shoensal1ers the same. At such wages
rs these, it is. of course, we'll nigh impossi-
Bile for laborcrs to obtain even the bare
necessities of life. 1t is no wonder, therefore,
that so large proportion of German emil
grants comes from these classes.

Hints to Those Who Should Advertise.
In last Mondays TRIBUNE VIC gave some
reasons why newspaper-ndycrtistng was both
more economical and more comprehensive and
effective in its results than the commercial
traveller as Il pioneer Of trade The next ques-
tion in order is: What class Of goods are bene-
lted by newspaper advertising?
We answer, first, Gil articles that bear trnde-
mark, and more especially all articles that are
intended for personal or household use. In the
first place, the sole use OF trademark is to pro-
tect the interest Of the maker, and the moro
widely it Is known tho better for the manu-
fncturer, both as respects the retail acafer and
the CONSUMER IVhcn the trademark is wtticlu
k7l0UN The CONSUMER relics it as the best eUi-
c,tce Of the quality Of the article to mtch 1t is at
tacllcd. Tho Frodsham, the JurRcnsen, the
Wul1ham, and tho Elrin watches are all bought
on the repes7on which the trademark implies,
and the me: Its are thus enabled to dictate their
own terms to tho retail trade
On tho other hand, the retail trade have
natural rcpuEnance to selling xoods that bear Il
trademark, because they instinctiyely know
thnt goods that bear a trademark must he sold
on close margin. and that competition Is sure
to reduce their profits on popular goods and
the retail dealer, in self-dcfense puts his own
mark on goods whenever he chm. In this way
his profits are assured, and although bis COM
petitors have similar goods the fact cannot be
demonstrated Ia way to affect the price. This
is the sole reason why the best class Of retail
dealers refuse to recommend certain makes Of
goods, and when thoy sell them at all it is be-
cause they must,-a good deul like pulling u
tooth that is pasr repairing. And this fuct ex-
plains another fact, that when tho leading re-
tail dealers In any branch ct trade make strong
opposition to selling certain brands Of goods be-
cause Of the smallness Of the margin of profit
the manufacturers must yield On the matter OF
profit or appeal to the consumer to demand tho
specified article and to insist getting it, and
experience has demonstrated that the mnnufact-
urer invariably gains his point and vastly in
creascs his sales amongst the smaller deulcrs.
Chicago Is the largest and cheapest market In
the world for food products, and still the West
phai1a ham commands double the price ut re-
tail that tho Chicago ham does. European
canned mcats and canned vegetables are every
where preferred to the native article,-and why
is it?
Tho manufacturers OF canned meats rely
wholly on the trade, protect the retail interest
in its prult, md rarely or never address the
consumer ut A,-and still the example OF Hay-
ermeyer nnd Elder in advertising the quality of
their sugars Is familiar to them ull. That Of the
Royal Baking Powder Company and Steele s;
Price is to the same effect Lea 81 Perrin, the
English makers Of sauce, and many makers Of
similar goods In England point in the same di-
recuon; Colgate, the New York soap manufact-

at The last session Of the German Relchs-
tag ample powers were conferred on the
Government for the suppression Of Socialism
and Communism in Germany. The Govern
1nent has not been sparing Of the powers
then conferred, but it does not appear that
Socialism has been crushed out That
large number of the electors of the Fourth
Berlin District, notwithstanding that Berlin
is q in state Of SIEGE have determined to
vote for Herr l'ebel, the noted Communist, is
ample proof Of this.

A WRITER in Scribncr's lfonthlU, under
the caption Of purchasable Health" offers
some timely observations which overWorked
businessmen would do well to heed Money"
be says, will not purchase henlth out OF sea-
son, but health Is to be had for money under
proper conditions" There are thousands Of
men in every large city who are bankrupting
themselves iii health. 'Col. Thomas Scott car
rled his burden so long that the four millions be
had won had no power to bring back the health
he had parted with; but there were uudoubted-
ly times in his life when, by the proper expcndf-
turc OF money and Of time, he could have
brought health enough to last him brace OF
decades longer, and to enable him to double the
number OF his millions for his heirs" Money
can buy health in two ways. It may enable the
possessor Of 1t to set aside part Of ench day for
recreation. or it may Justify him In giving up
two months Of every yeur to- solid rest. The
same writer shrewdly observes:
There is Il hailucinauou. cherished By great
multitude, that they must be constantly IN their
own business, Or 1t cannot possibly go on prus-
perousiy. Some Of these men are SO untortu-
natcly organized TINT they cannot believe that
anybody living can do their work as well rs they
can do it, It lakes III enormous self-conceit to
come u such coocluson e. as this. and @ there Is
aF. never able to leave their work for q moment
III other hands, and so they become the bond
nothings in which a grcut business man shows
his greatness 50 sfgnally as In his ability to find
men TO do his work.-tU lnd competent instru-
business nun is always u man Of comparative
leisure. Ills own work is always deliberately
done. 1t Is, as a rule. the small man who never
gets moment and who never can lind IL pair Of
hands as good as bis own. II man cannot
leave his business, or thinks he. cannot, he
shows that he lacks the highest grade of busi-
ness capacity.
How few men of business there are in Chicago
who are uble to show the higher wisdom of first
getting competent assistants, and then trusting
routing affairs unre3erxedly to their hQnds.
