THE THINEST HOWL YET.

Democratic papers and orators are con-
tinually ringing the changes on the extra
| cost Of dishes, blankets, clothing, ETC.,
under a protective policy. 1t IS the thin
est racket possible, and no working
man who knows enough to desire big
wages under the protective system fails
to see its thinness. What does a round
price for dishes and blankets and cloth
ing amount to when compared to the adj
vantage of good wages and good prices
for products. Wages come every day
but dishes are bought only two or three
times in life time. Wages are to be
counted by the hour, blankets only once
in years and suits of clothing but once
or twice year. If dishes and blankets
and clothing, etc., could be had for q
song that fact would not recompense for
the starving daily wages which
free trade alone promises. The
man who under a protective -policy
receives big wages can better afford to
buy set of China every year and a
broadcloth suit every three months, at
INC ilCob tiiesii W e4iOLi CT
the lowest possible figure from the hard
savings of scant earnings which free
trade always gives. A workingman can
better afford to pay $50 for a pair of
blankets if he is receiving 81 per day,
than to pay So for the same pair if he
only receives 81 per day for his labor.
If we were compelled to buy dishes and
blankets and cutlery, and sheets, and
shoes, and clothing, and all these things
as often as we receive our daily wages
then there might be some force to the
Democratic argument. The people who
receive big wages are the people who are
happy and prosperous every time, and
are SO without reference to the higher
prices they may be compelled to pay.

CLEVELAND FAILS.

Cleveland is about as slow with his
letter OF acceptance as he has been in the
matter of an heir. With such a possible
mother for the one and such political
demand for the other, we have about
concluded that he is fully as hard uE
physically as he is mentally-impotent
as to either the baby or the letter. After
his nuptials the Democrats made Us
blush every day, with their boasts OF
how Francis with young Grover in her
arms would scoop in whole states for
the old man, but the absence Of any
infant wall about the white house con-
vinces US that Grove is not only against
Home Productions and q Protective
Tariff, but that he is practical obstruc-
zionist. To say nothing of his INSTRUCTED
letter, who can tell what might have
happened had he not stood in the way
of other American citizens when the
now fair and fat mistress of the white
house attained her majority. 1t is either
a baby or letter now, or both, and
right off, or Grover is a goner.

THE DENVER CONVENTION.

AS the date for holding the convention
at Denver in the interest of a deep water
port or ports on the Texas gulf coast
draws nearer and the subject Is more
fully discussed by the press, public in
terest therein increases, until now the
matter has become one of absorbing
interest to all who take an interest in
such matters of public concern. From a
circular letter just issued by the local
managers Of the approaching meeting at
Denver we Gull the following which
will more fully explain the purpose OF
the meeting and the scope likely to be
given to it, than has hitherto been made
public:
The purpose OF the convention is TO in
terest all that country west OF the MiSsiS-
sippi IN the esta oilshnsenu of a deep water
port or ports on the Texas coast that snail
give the commerce OF this great territory
an outlet to themarkets Of the world by the
shortest. most direct and cheapest route
Ii VIII be the most important CONNER
cial convention ever held IN the great west
and Of vital interest TO every farmer
miner property owner and business man
OF two-thirds Of the territory OF the United
States.
Cheap transportation from and to all
eastern markets, as well as direct COM
munication with the packets of Europe
and Central and South America, Is de-
manded by our growidg population and
increasing products OF the farm, shop and
mine
The only difficulty at present is the fact
that while the seattle great economic
pathway of commerce that the west wants
60 reach-is so near, yet deep draught YES
sells can not get close enough in shore TO
take away the products that the country
wants TO ship. The object, then. OF THIS
Interstate deep harbor convention is to
interest and unite the people or the west
IN the effort 30 secure 4 deep-water port
that shall admit our imports and take
away our products at the lowest possible
cost. With deep harbor on the Texas
coast fully % per cent in freightage will
be saved, amounting to millions of dollars
annually on the products OF the soil, the
output OF mines and our incoming ue-chan-
disc

claiming by irrigation millions of acres OF

!nercisl topics. viii be presented for de-

The American party made a bad break
in their first attempt at formal organiza-
ton. The scenes and occurrences incident
to the convention of that party called to
meet in Washington Wednesday were
somewhat similar to the ruction that oc-
Cured in Charleston in 1860, when the
Democratic party began its disintegrating
process. The new party with its high
sounding title had as well rub out and
begin again, or, what would be infinitely
more sensible, forego any further effort
at organization and prove their boast of
patriotic purpose by ailigning themselves
with the only truly American party the
country has ever known-the champion
of American rights and interests-the
Republican party.

Mr.. Blaine intimated in his Portland
speech Wednesday afternoon that he
might take occasion to offer few re-
marks upon the fishery treaty question
at some opportune time during the cam
paign. If there is one man more fully
acquainted with the fishery question as
between the United STAGES and British
possessions of North America than any
other that man is James g. Blaine. The
country will await with deepest anxiety
for his public utterances on that absorb
ing subject. And we apprehend the
country will not be kept waiting long
for The desired and expected information
ne has TO communicate. Fact is Mr.
blaine will be able to enlighten the coun-
try on more than one subject during the
next two months, and he appears to be
in just the proper frame OF mind to

taken editorial charge of the same. The

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Anna ority of people have queer notions
about advertising. In speaking OF the
proposition for Barber county to collect
and place on exhibition at Cincinnati
samples of the county's products, the
Medicine Lodge Index remarks:
lit would cost Barber county $500 for
space at the Cincinnati exposition and
this added to the cost OF collecting
and forwarding a display is more than
our people can stand in a dull season,
and so there will be 10 display The
chief promptings in making such public
displays is the benefit expected to be de
rived from additional population and
capital to the community or section thus
advertised. On the part of the exhibitor
it is purely matter of business; and the
success attending such endeavors usually
depends upon the extent and character
of the advertisement. Taking this view
OF the case, (and it is the only rational
one, TO our miud} and the error Barber
county seems to have fallen into, which
is by no means an uncommon one, as u
short sighted policy, to say the
least. We have no sort OF
doubt the money extended
bv this city and county in making the
display now on exhibition in Cincinnati
will bring larger returns, not only to the
city and county, but to this entire sec
ton of the state, than any like amount
ever expended for similar purpose.
The reason for this is too obvious toned
elaborate explanation.
To make long matter short, no more
short-sighted policy could be pursued,
in our Judgment, either by u community,
corporation. firm Or individual, where
advertising constitutes any part of their
business, than To discontinue that part
of their expense account when times are
close and business slack. True business
economy suggests that if, between such
periods and those when business is flush
and trade brisk, there is to be made any
change in the matter of curtailing or in
creasing the advertising feature of the
business the preference should be given to
the increased expenditure during the dull
season. This is the experience and tes-
timony of the managers of every sue
cessful business enterprise where adver-
Using is or can be employed to any ad-
vantage. This much in a general way
upon 4 common subject.
