HERBERT G. BRIGGS.
Artorney at Law and solicitor of Patent

Scarcely a hundred years have passed since Eng
land and the United States and France, came to
recognize in their laws the right of an individual to
the exclusive use of his own ideas and invention for
a term of years under protection, and the progress
that has been made in mechanical arts during this
period has been rapid and wide spread.
And with this encouragement to genius and talent
there sprang into life a professor that has grown to
similar proportions, that of soliciting patents for
inventors, which is we'll represented here in Port
land by Herbert G. Briggs, of SO Exchange Street.
Mr.. Briggs thorough practical and legal knowledge
of all matters connected with the patent business.
has given him a familiarity with every detail of it
that cannot fail to be of the greatest benefit to
ties to inventors in securing patents, both in this
country and foreign lands, that are unequalled.
He trusts the important parts of his business to
no one, but gives his close personal attention to the
best interests of his clients, and can point with
pride to the complete satisfaction he has given to
many patrons. MIR. Briggs stands well in his pro
fession, and we heartily commend him to all in need
of his services, feeling sure that no one else can
more faithfully serve the best interests of in
ventOrs.

SAMUEL THURSTON.
Dealer in Pianos ana ORGANS

In a review of this nature. devoted to a thorough
disclosure of all the material advantages possessed
by this city, a few words in relation to the musical
instrument business may prove useful to buyers
both in the city and surrounding towns.
The heaviest dealer in this line is Samuel Thurs
ton, whose warerooms are located at 3 Free Street
Block, and to no more responsible man could we
those of our readers who contemplate
the purchase of a piano or organ that viii faithful
ly fulfill all the representations made for it. Mr..
Thurston has built up a reputation for reliability in
this business that represents part of his capital and
which can be maintained only by handling a class
of goods that have a standard name for true worth
and genuine quality. This is the course he has
pursued in the past, and which he will no doubt
pursue in the future; therefore, he is a gentleman
with whom anyone, although unacquainted with his
methods, can transact business with in a most sat
~isfactory manner.
The pianos and organs handled by him are among
the best made in the country, and which have, by
peculiar merit, won their way and established their
reputation wherever highest excellence is appreci-
ated.
Contemplated purchasers of these instruments
whether in city or country, should not fail to con
suit with Mr.. Thurston, who may be enabled to of
fer them advantages unattainable elsewhere.

GOVERNME REVENUE.
Especially the American System: An argument for
industrial Freedom against the Fallacies of Free
Trade. By ELIAS III. ROBERTS. 1 vol. 12mo.S 81. 80.
For four years Mr.. Roberts was a member of the
Committee of Ways and Means in Congress, and
studied the whole subject of Government Revenue
thoroughly. 1t is believed that his treatment of it
in this book is 30 full, SO able, and SO fair minded
that it will not only form a very important aid to
understanding the Tariff question as now presented
to the country for consideration, but will be astand-
ard york on the subject.
"An important contribution to economic science.
Inc argument IN favor of protection has not been
presented in dogmatic way, as a logical and neces-
sary deduction from ingenious theories assumed by
pook,writers to be of universal application The
conclusions have been based upon the actual expe-
rlence OF nations, and especially of the American
people."-N. Y. Tribune.

essays on the effect of a protective system in deyel

Ayers Newspaper Annual.
N. W. Ayers Newspaper Annual
for 1884 has been received. 1t il a
handsomely bound book of 1000
pages and contains information
relative to every newspaper pub
lished in the United States. The
papers are al classified by States
and then classified under the head
of Religious, Scientific, Political,
etc. The book is an interesting
study and shows that papers are
published in the United States
in French, Scandinavian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Bohemian, Hollandish,
German, italian, Polish: WEIGH,
Irish, Latin and Hungarian.
Papers are published in the in
terest of almost every trade. Three
papers in New York are edited
solely for people who bottle liquors
and syrup. The ice men also have
. paper and there is laundry
journal, a butchers organ, to-
bacco sheet and quite lively, stiff
little paper devoted to undertakers
and their doings. The bicycle riders
have three organs; the cricket and
base ball players several; the
young folks have thirty-two period
ica's devoted to their interests.
Secret societies, Sunday Schools
and sports all come in, and it is
said that in Boston is paper mys-

Ne Rcconaiders His Theory
About Platforms Being
Made to Catch Votes.

Hon. George Cassidy came up
on Sunday from Reno, having been
out campaigning in the valleys in
Washoe county.
He was dressed in the regulation
style Of the candidate in the field
to catch the agricultural vote with
a blue shirt and no collar or neck
tie. His face, which had sported
the rough stubble whiskers, neces-
sary to impress the bucolic voter,
Of Paradise Valley, had been clean
ly. shaver at Reno and he looked
the picture Of robust good health
and clean living. He was full Of
campaign anecdotes, and when he
asked an APPEAL representative
about the Republican platform he
was told not to bother about the
platforms, as you know George
they are only made to catch votes.
Cassidy laughed moment and
replied:
''I'm afraid [ over stated the mat
ter about platform. catching votes
on the whole I guess they don't
catch many as 50 few people read
en-. Why two years ago the Bel
mont Courier published both the

the heads transposed. Republi-
cans head on the Democratic plat
form. and vice versa. The thing
stood that way during the whole
campaign, and nobody dropped on
it outside of the editer who thought
it was too good joke to spoil"
The passengers laughed heartily
at this story without regard for
party, and Dir. Cassidy wended his
way to the hotel.

Gus. He foolishly listened to bad
advice and ran on an Independent
ticket. In a subsequent Conven-
ton he vas defeated, but he &C
copied the situation manfully and
worked like beaver for the ticket.
He fully saw the folly Of a politi-
cal mistake, and when a man is
willing to return to the party ranks

years of probation, he ought to be

Especial Telegram to the Globe.1
New YORK: Sept. 6.-Stocks opened steady
with sales of Chicago, Burlington IL Quincy
at 124113, Northwestern at 1918, while tele-
graph touched 67. The advance led to free
selling by the cliques and the market became
weak with a sharp decline all round. 1t was
well into the afternoon hours before any
thing in the way of rally appeared and it
was Of short duration. New York Central
dropped, but for per cent. security it is
selling high. Nothing but the short interest
is sustaining it at present. The market con-
tinued inactive, with light trad
ing during the greater part
Of the day. In the closing hours
stocks went all to pieces, with free selling
and feyerish feeling throughout. A slight
improvement from the lowest figures took
place at the finish, but the declines for the
day have been in some cases quite serious
and sufficient to demoraliZe holders. The
cliques appeared to withdraw their support
and under cover have undoubtedly marketed
a considerable number of shares.
Next week comes the meetings of the
western lines. Should their difficulties be
amicably settled it will help matters in Wall
street. Should they not, those who are on
the short side will find it the winning one.
