A Plea for Free Trade.

Ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
a prominent Democratic aspirant fol
the Presidential nomination, expresses
himself against tariff for protection
In a recent interview he is reported
as follows:
II think that tariff in excess of a
revenue standard is not right. When
we go beyond that it is simply taxing
one man for the benefit Of another
If am protected manufacturer and
you consumer, you pay tribute te
me, and not to the government. The
tariff is the leading national issue
because it lies at the foundation of oul
system of revenue, and it will con.
tinue to be until it is settled on con.
stitutional basis of tariff for reve,
nue.. Incidental expenses are bur-
den that necessarily goes with thai
mode of taxation. Aside from tht
burden of government, free trade is {
true doctrine. Even protectionist'
admit that tariff should not be lev
led for protection merely"

Young Man, Go to Work.

Young man, quit loafng and go to
work-do something. Pull off your
kid gloves, doff your beaver and drop
that cane-and take the world by the
horns. 1t owes you living (after
you have made it) but not till them
Help the old folks; work in the gar
den; go and keep off the owls, and
keep from loa6ng and vagabondism
Above all don't drink; don't give UP
to the blues, but go forth with stern
and manly heart to meet the shadowy
future. The Bible says; "That if any
would not work, neither should hi
eat"

Alexander H. Stephens.

We have just received beautiful
little volume which ought to find its
way into every Southern home. 1t is
an excellent sketch of the Life of AL
exander H. Stephens, written by Frank
HI. Norton, anthor- of "The Life of
Winfield S. Hancock and other works.
1t contains an excellent portrait, and
fine view of Mr.. Stephens late res
idence. A remarkable feature Of the
work is its wonderfully low price
Though volume of nearly 100 pages
large, handsome, loaded type, beauti-
fully printed on good paper, it costs
only 10 cents in paper, or Is cents in
very tasty cloth bound volume; and
even at this rate large discounts are
allowed to agents and clubs. 1t il
published by John B. Alden, Is Vesey
treet, New York.

Advertising.

1t is sometimes questioned by mer-
chants whether advertising pays. The
question will hardly bear discussion in
the light of the following facts, rates
of transient advertising beinfi figured:
The Chicago Tribune, it is said, for a
column year receives $4,000. The
New York He, aid receives for its low
est priced column 500, 1913, and for its
highest $348.000. The New York
Tribune, tor the lowest $29, 1854, and
for the highest $751;, 648, and these pa
pers are never at loss for advertise
ments to fill their columns. Their pa
tronage comes, not from any desire to
assist the respective papers, but from
business men who find it profitable to
advertise. The sensible man does not
consider whether he likes the paper
he advertises in or not. What he de-
sires to know is, in what paper shall
l insert my advertisement to be seen
by those whose custom I want. II
does not take long to find out by ex-
perience where it pays them best te
advertise. That it does pay they
have no doubt and raise no questions
Long experience with almost every
business than who has succeeded has
proved that beyond question.
