The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-11-03

Although many millions of dollars were
spent annually under Republican rule for
twenty odd years, in repairing and building
war ships, the United States was practically
without a navy in 1885, when the Democrats
assumed control of affairs. Under an honest
administration twelve 6rst-class vessels are
under construction, and fast approaching
completion, and one is ready for service.
Fraudulent naval contracts are unknown, and
in a year or two more the United States will
once again take rank as the leading maritime
power of the world.

gently all over with her trunk, blinked

sounded like the blowing of steam from

tendency to monopoly in the newspaper
world as in trade. A man comes TO the front

He knows instnctively what readers want,
and hence bis journal gets the largest list OF
subscribers and the most advertising patron

in making out his list Of newspapers, will
have at his breakfast table the Journal which
he thinks is the soundest in its views ON gen
eral topics, and which furnishes him with tho
news in the most attractive way. On leaving
his daily business he will pick up that even
ing paper which gives the news Of tie day in
a taking manner. Then the same head Of the
family has his trade journal, his religious
and literary weekly, and perhaps a couple Of
monthly magazines. This is about as much
reading as the average business man cares
