of Dead Statesmen.
Here is statement of the issues Of the
campaign that will do to reprint and re-
member:
Protection to American rights.
Protection to American labor threat
ened by low tariff and foreign cheap
wages.
"Protection to American taxpayers
wantonly burdened for years by needless
taxation, which neither party supports,
but which u Democratic majority main
tains.
HProtection to II arican
voters, threatened " the
suppression of the q; 1t the

"Proteetion to American commercial
| rights threatened by the surrender Of the
fisheries treaty.
Protection to every American citizen
out of Office against the political manipu-
lation of officeholders, and to every Amer

| patronage and assessments of politicians.
And here are extracts from the senti-
ments of various presidents and states
men of the United States on the system
of a protective tariff, which will also do
4 to reprint and remember:
George Washington: Congress have
| repeatedly, and not without success, di-
rected their attention to the encourage.
Inent of manufactures. The object is Of
/ too much consequence not to insure con-
Z tinuance of their efforts every way which
shall appear eligible"
Benjamin Franklin: EVERY manufac-
turer encouraged in our country makes
part of q market for provisions within
ourselves, and saves SO much money to
the country as must otherwise be ex-
ported to pay for the manufactures he
Alexander Hamilton: .'rhere are ma
tural causes tending to render the exter-

John Quincy Adams: ''The great inter
ests of an agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing nation are so linked in
union together that no permanent cause

without extending it's influence to the
others"
Andrew jackson: Upon the success of
I our manufactures, as the handmade of

Daniel Webster: ''That is the truest

Harrison,s chinese Record

San francisco BulletIn: The record
of General Harrison, the nominee of the
republican party for the presidency, is
Identical with that OF every anti Chinese
citlzen OF California.
San Frsncisco Gall (lnd.): If the
Chinese bill which Mr. Harrison report
ed had been enacted it would hsve kept
thousands OF Chinese out who will come
in under the new treaty.
San Francisco Post: The vote. will
have no difficulty in deciding which
party favors Chinese exclusion. The
interests of the coasts will be far safer
in the hands OF Mr.. Harrison, who assist-
ed in framing en- exclusion act, then in
the hands Of Mr. Cleveland, who killed
lit.
Sacramento Record Union: He re-
ported and voted for anti Chinese legis-
lation As soon as treaty contracts ad-
mitted it, snd he stands pledged upon 9
| platform clear and satisfactory upon the
question discussed. He is disclosed in

News, which sets forth Sc clearly some of the
1t OF one Of the phenomenal successes of later
some OF the GIu gtic,s figures down to the present
cdcd by the present writer
much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to The persistent adherence on the part
Of the other Chicago dalics to the blanket
sheet style Of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chcagoan is most i'll a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
vefbiage and stuff Tue DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense TO
present it IN concise form The result Of such a
condition Of affairs is that I HE DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined
In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete its editorial discussion as able and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as lis best and highest priced cotemporary. All
this the cheap paper may easily be even at its
reduced price.
The difference Of revenue between the two
cent paper (even more so when the price is one
cent?, and the higher-prced blanket-sheet" the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size, that not only is of no worth to the reader,
but is even an annoyance, in that it conpes him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from mass
of verbiage and worthless application.
I" 1t is because its managers have been wise
enough 10 practically recognize these essential
elements of the best American journalism of to-
day that THE DAILY News is the best and most
popular general family newspaper published in
i Chicago or the West"
mt of merit could be framed in stronger terms than
is not the achievement now that such journal as

it on the table, facilitate matters. It

without endangering life. So he hung
up his watch to count the minutes.
The operation continued till some
errand called the man across the room,
and he returned to find his head was

found the time was near when he must
have his head in its proper place if he
cared to keep it. Then he lost his head''

stone the remains of a Scythian king
were found, together with his wife, his

touched. Even the sarcophagus of
carved cypress wood in which his body
was laid, remains undecayed; and the
carving and gilt figures upon it are still
sharp and beautiful. 1t seems incredible
that a substance SO frail should have en-
dured for more than 1000 years unin-
iured. The gold bars of his shield, the
silver slaves Of his heralds, the collar Of
twisted gold wire are to be seen here,
beside many other articles found in his
tomb, although q large number were
stolen at the time of the discovery.
But still more interesting and beauti-
full were the. contents of a tomb discov-
cred in 1866 of a priestess of Ceres, with
all her rich ornaments, and these were
all preserved. Most exquisite they are;

laces, equal the best workmanship OF

are OF repousse work of perfect beauty.

The statistics tell one simple story.
with SO few variations as to be positively
monotonotls, in relation to the food eaten
by these old people. The diet has been
regular New England home dishes of
meat. vegetables, and pastry, with
breakfast early, dinner at noon, and sup
per late. Very few are mentioned as
small eaters or large eaters; most are
mentioned as not particular, with good
appetites through life. A half dozen
never eat meat, and two have abstained
from water. More than two-thirds have
been habitual users Of tea and coffee,
and of the remainder nearly all have
drunk tea. Few of the men, and none
OF the women, are given as users of more
Intoxicating beverages than cider, and
not a dozen out of all have ever used
liquors to excess. Ten Of the women are
mentioned as habitual smokers, and a
score as snuff takers. Of the men, a
large majority have used to~bacco-either
chewing, smoking, or both. Most of the
tobacco users have been moderate, al
though numbers of cases are given where
the amount consumed is enormous, and
continued constantly up to the time
when the census was taken. A few
broke away from the habit after it had
lasted for twenty, thirty or fifty years,
and have now been without the narcotic
for perhaps a decade or more.
The record of sickness is so varied that
scarcely half a dozen cases are alike out
OF the whole long list, except where there
has been no illness other than the usual
complaints of infancy. Out of 1,049

And there follows a mist and a weeping rain,
And life Is never the am again.

Forths sigh will come and the kiss will stay,
And the summer night Is q winters day.
