hundred artists, clerks, and work
men; their machinery and appoint.
meRtS are on a magnificent scale,
and a trade Of ten thousand dollars
a day, on an average, is required 20
keep them moving in full blast.
Their assortment Of steel plates is
especially fine, and ranks very high
in artistic merit; many thousands OF
dollars are often spent on a single
plate. They appreciate the value
Of printers ink, and know how to
use it to the best advantage; there.
fore they advertise largely and lib.
orally in the newspapers-uewspa-
per advertising was an important
factor in laying the sound tounda-
tons of their great success, and,
without it, they state that it would
have been uttsrlv impossible for
them to have reached their present
position.
StinsOn & Co. are a striking illus
tratiOn Of what can be accomplished
by energy, industry, and good judg-
ment. There is ''rOom at the top"
all honor tOthose who fight their
way up. This firm believes in
standard goods and low prices, and
on that prin ciple their business ls
conducted. American homes
should be made beautiful by re-,
fAed and meritorious works Of art;
no one has any excuse for not add
ing to their homes the charms Of
pictures, for fine work Of high art
are within the reach of all.

High Liesn,s and Local Onion.

High license. subject to local op-
ton, is our platform on the temper
anCe question. If we have saloons
at all, let them pay a good revenue.
Two saloons in an average town
can afford to pay as much tax as four
can afford. Then, if towns, districts
or counties don't want saloons in
their midst, let the ballot box be
the medium of determining it. If a
majority are opposed to saloons or
the traffic in intoxicants otherwise,
let the majority rule. But if the
majority favor the traffic, let the Ii.
Cense be so high that only q few or
DERBY houses be kept. With but
enc or two saloons in q town, their
business will be conducted more or.
derby and the law better observed,
than if license are so low that one
may be found on every street.
High license is a protection against
competition, better for the holder
and better for the public. This is
the best settlement of the question
for all concernsd.-OOrinth Her
