WHEN WE COMMENCE

To write about our CLOTHING, we would
like to have the Is columns of the ADVOCATE

and Old Men, all sizes and prices. The
Overcoats for the little folks will please them
and their mothers, and satisfy the fathers in
regard to prices, and there will be no neces-
sity for the youngest boy wearing out the
clothes of the olders brothers, as prices are
low enough to buy him new clothes. Large
stock of Cassimeres and Domestics.

NEW YORK. 1884.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of THE sun have gone
out of our establishment during the past twelve
months
all THE SUNS printed and sold last year you would
get continuous strip of interesting information, com
mon sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane wit
long enough to reach from Printing House square to

quarters of the way back to the moon again.
But THE Sun is written for the inhabitants of the
the globe twenty-seven or twenty eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE Sun during the
past year has spent only one hour it, and If his
wife or his grandfather has spent another hour this
newspaper in 1888 has afforded the human race
thirteen thousand years of steady reading night and
day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, of its in
huence on the opinions and actions of American
men and women,
THE SUN is, and will continue to be. newspaper
which tells the truth without fear of consequences
which gets at the facts no matter how much the
process costs, which presents the news of all the
world without waste of words and in the most read
able shape, which is working with all its heart for
the cause of honest government, and which there
fore believes that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE SUN. you like it already, and you
will read it with accustomed diligence and profit
during what is to be the most interesting year
in its history. Ifyou do not yet know THE sun, it

cutters of ready-made clothing, SIS to
S25 per week; bar-keepers, $15 to
500 per week. Now, the highest salary
paid skilled telegraph operators in New
York is $50 per month, and the average
wages paid is $53, or $13.25 per week,
S1.9O per day. But telegraph operators
are not in the category of ordinary labor
ers. 1t necessarily costs them more to
live than 1t costs a mason or a carpenter.
They must dress better and live in a
more expensive manner.
1t might be added that the number of
operators receiving $50 II month is COM
paratively small. Those who do get
that sum are men of more than average
ability, and in doing their ordinary work
they are put to more severe mental and
physical strains than any of the laborers
mentioned by the Times. The SPRING
field Republican prints the following
| figures, which are of interest at this
time:
The Western Union telegraph last year
lending June 80 1882. averaged 3S, SS2,-
600 messages or over 100000 messages a
day, and its income was $17,1li,000 or
over $47 200 day. In the same year,
while the receipts were $47, $4,000, the
expenses, including leased-line rentals
and taxes, were 500 900, or IS per
cent. The net income was therefore
S7.245, 900, of which $4,79S 900 was dis
tributed in dividends, $427 900 paid for
interest upon bonds and $4,000 applied
to the sinking fund, leaving a clear sur
plus of $l,979,0 900. In other words, the
company after paying all charges and G
per cent. on its enormously inflated stock,
had a clear surplus of nearly $2,000,000.
OF this sum $3l5 900 was spent in new
lines and wires. telegraph stocks, ETC."
and the rest was saved as " balance, -
81 ,G6l 900, or enough to ada 500 each to
the wages of $1,000 men. For the quar-
ter ending January /, the company had
a clear surplus over all charges and divi-
dends of 1923, 900.
One effect of the strike has been to re-
new discussion as to the wisdom of gov
eminent control of the telegraph sys-
TEN, as is now the case in England. The
following, from the Chicago Tribune,
points out some of the advantages of the
scheme:
Aside from the guarantee the govern
ment ownership of Il telegraph system
would give the public against strikes and
combinations, there would be Il constant
assurance of providing the most efficient
service at the lowest rates, for the gov
eminent would have no dividends to pay
on either real or fictitious stock. The
aim would be to make the government
telegraph self-sustaining, and the divi-
dends would be distributed among the
people in the shape of reduced rates. In
one word, the telegraph would become
! an integral part of the postal system,and
the interchange of domestic, social, COM
mercial and pnblic news would be accel-
Grated and enlarged by being served out
to the public at actual cost of Inaintcn-
ance and operation. Congress will dis
appoint the people if it shall fail to take
hold of this subject in earnest at the next
session.

The strike of the telegraph operators
of the United States and Canada, which
began on Thursday of last week, con-
tinucs; and the prospect is not good for
a speedy ending of the troubles. Re
ports made by the parties in interest
are conflicting. The companies claim
that their business is not seriously en-
barrassed, but the strikers say many of
those in the operating rooms are plugs
green hands-put there to make a
show. The leaders say the men can
stay out three months, If necessary to the
success of the movement. The Western
Union company's loss is said to be
$25, 900 day, but this is partially offset
by decreased pay-rolls. The press OF
the country is generally on the side OF
the operators, who are believed not to
receive just compensation for their labor
AS showing how their wages compare
with those of other men the New York
Times says:

DISPATCHES from Western points, Civ
ing accounts of the performances pecu-

men and lynchcd. The mob came on
horses with a rope, arms and sledges.
They tied the jailer and made his wife
surrender the keys. While the murderer
was hanging they shot him and after
wards threw him into the river" The
report closes with the statement that
the mob disappeared quietly" as il
