1t is equally true that man can clothe
himself a. cheaply in New York as he can
in London. The following table, like the
one above, has been prepared with the ut
most care, and the man who compiled it
has sworn that it is accurate. Added to
this he has given the name and address Of
the firms furnishing the prices and having
the goods for sale. For months The Press
has kept in its editorial rooms all sorts of
American clothing and blankets, which
quality for quality can be bought right here
in New York as good and as cheap as in
London. Men who simply lie to the people
and tell them they are taxed ninety per
cent on their clothing and blankets have
been requested to come up and see these
goods and compare them with goods sold
at the same price in England.
The Free Traders are too cowardly to
accept the challenge of The Press on
this question of the cost of clothing and
with contemplate Indifference continue to
deliberately misead the people by the cry
of "nnety per cent tax" on your clothing.

is surely bright spot in the character of

Fairfield journal: More than twenty
years have elapsed since the paper mill at
Vassalboro was hurriedly dismantled one
evening in order to fulfill contract to
deliver the machinery on a II hour notice
On this particular evening there were two
thousand pounds of poplar shavings boiling
in weak solution of lime water. The tub
that contained them must be delivered with
the rest of the machinery, SO these shavings
were thrown out on wet piece of ground
and they remain to-day in as perfect state
of preservation as they were when thrown
out. Without the lime treatment the popular
shavings would have been perfectly decayed
IN one year. Why not profit by this sug-
geston and give our short-lived shingles a

A WORD TO TARIFF TIMERS
How Reduction in Duties Would AT
feet Important American Industry
Especially in Eastern Maine.

A prominent grocer of New York city
accidentally fell into tariff discussion
with reporter for the Mail and Express,
the growing and important evening news
paper of the American commercial metrop-
oils:
II have been and still am Democrat, if
anything" said he, but as a merchant can
see the injury threatened by the Mills bill.
Take, for example, the article of starch.
There are 200 potato starch factories in this
country They make about ~ 1000 tons OF
"a 600 900 pounds of starch yearly. With
the duty of two cents pound these factories
have given employment TO a large number of
persons, including laborers in the field and
skilled workmen in the factories. These per
sons are well paid Take off the duty. and
what is the result German starch will be
sent over TO this country in abundance.
There the laborers in the field get a mark or
about "a cents a day. while the skilled work
men in the factories are content with three
marks, or little over seventy cents a day
Thus, you see, the cost of producing and
manufacturing starch in Germany is so small
compared to what is required here that, with
the duty off. this work in this country would
be entirely stopped as it would be impossible
to compete with the importer starch.
Owing to the recent failure of the potato
crop and the high price of this vegetable it
has been as much as the factories could do To
furnish starch low enough to keep out that
produced in Germany, even with the duty
now imposed In ordinary times the Ameri-
can factories can make an excellent starch
and sell little below the price of imported
starch plus the duty. The tariff thinkers
rarely take into consideration the diff
fernce in the rate of wages and cost of
living here and in the countries where similar
articles are produced"

The man who says he does not

as accepted by the Democratic and
Republican parties. does not care to

can buy wooden shirt to-day for
twenty-five cents less than the price
the same shirt could have been
bought for last week, be has saved
a quarter ola dollar. Now the.Dem-
ocratic party proposes to reduce the
tax on that wooden shirt 80 il can
be bought cheaper to-day than it
could have been bought last week,
and thereby save to the laboring
man, the wage-worker, the differ

stand that the expenses of the gov

Hon. T. H. Paynter.
Sketch of the Democratic NOmi-
nee for Congress.
Asolf-made Man Who was Never De-
feated for Office.


CONFECTIONERY
The Democrats, without single
exception, cordially indorse the
nominee, and the Republicans feal
him. Hon. Thos Il. Paynter was
born ON farm in Lewis county,
KY. December9 8, 1851, his father,
Elisha Paynter being a respectable
farmer in humble circumstances.
He received the best education at
forded by thecommon schools, and
attended Jacob Rand Seminary in
Lewis county, which was a celebrat-
ed institution oflearning Units day.
He was a student at Center College
for one year. He studied law un-
der Judge j. Il. Garland, and was
licensed to practice law by Circuit
Court Judge r. II, Stanton, of
May syille. Mr.. Paynter opened a
law office in Greerup in 1873, and
secured a good olientage from the
start, Unlike most yoGng lawyers,
he did not have to wait Tor practice
to come to him. He was hard,
close student, and possessed by ma
ture a fine legal mind. He rose
in his profession until he
ranks to-day among the leading
lawyers ofthe State. Mr.. Paynter's
remarkable success is due TO no ac-
cident of birth or fortune. He..has
elevated himself by honest, patient,
and untiring industry, and is pre-
eminentlya self-made man. Hand
some in person, dignifed, of grace
full carriage and pleasing address, he
would attract and command atten-
ion in any assemblage.. Heis man |
Of the people, and immensely pop-I
llar with the masses. His popu-
arity was attested in 1878, when he
was elected, as a Democrat, County |
Attorney of Greenup over Hon, T.
B. Trussell, one Of the eleyerest Re-
oublicans in the State, by a major
ty Of 303 votes, and that, too, when
ireenup was Republican by over
LOO. Mr.. Paynter married Miss
Lizzie Pollock, daughter Of Joseph
P o'clock, well.knuwn banker at
ireenup. Mr. Paynter's record,
and public, invites the clos
'st scrutiny. There is not single
law in it, He has never warered
n his allegiance to the Democratic
party, and his father before him
vas a true Democrat, He was new
r defeated for any Office, and will
e5eem the Ninth district by 1900 I
majority.

A gloomy day has dawned for
Republicanism when its organiza-
ton is surrendered into the hands
of a coterie of petty bosses like
Quay in Pennsylvania, Platt in New
York and Chandler in New Hamp-
shire. The tendency Of the party
management is downward. Its let
tiers represent neither statesman
ship nor patriotism. Intent only
on serving special interests, satura-
TED with selfshness and devoured
by greed, The politicians in control
do not merit or command the conf
deneo or respect OF the country.
