The Oldest and Best.

The Saturday Evening Post, of
Philadelphia, enjoys the proud dis
tinction of being the oldest family
and library paper in America, if
not in the world. Originally estab-
lished by Benjamin Franklin in
1928, and appearing in its present
character in 1921, it has had an un-
interrupted career of 15S years!
AS it's orininator, Franklin, was
one of the first men of his time, or
any time, both in ability and en-
inence, The Post has ever tried to
follow its founder, by carrying out
during it's whole course of exist
ence the best aims and highest
purposes of family newspaper.
In its management. conduct and
choice of reading material, useful
ness, purity. morality, progress and
entertainment have always been
its watchwords and its guides.
The history of The Post is the
of American literature and
authorship. Not to sp eak of those
who previous to and after the War
of the Revolution made it a power
in the land, since 1921 there is
hardly a writer famous in the
world of letters whose works have
not adorned its pages. Among
these may be mentioned Horace
Dickens, Poe, Halleck, II.
s. Arthur, Gilmore Simms, Mrs.
Henry Wood and others.
1t is no wonder then that The |
Post claims the right to add to the
glory of being the Oldest family
paper, the even more honorable
title of also being the best. AL
ways keeping in sight what was
highest, purest, most entertaining,
n a word, the best in literature, it
las never once failed in its long
career to 60 forth as a weekly mis-
'iOnary into hundreds of thousands
If the finest families in all quarters
If the land, the most welcome and
cheerful of visitors.
For the coming year The Post
las secured the best writer's of this
and Europe, in prose and
,erse, fact and fiction. In these re-
poets as in the past it will only
ave the best. Its pages will be
free from the degrading
nd polluting trash which charact-
rizes many other so-called literary
nd family papers. 1t gives more
Or the money, and of better
lass, than any other publication
4 the world. Each volume con-
aims, in addition to it's well edited ,,
apartments, twenty-five firstclass :
erials, and upwards of five hun ,
red short stories. Every number
, replete with useful information
nd amusement, comprising tales, {
ketches, biography, anecdotes, $

voters of the Ninth congressional dis

TO THE ELECTORS.

DEAR SIR,-The Democrats, under
the inspiration of Mr. Earley's Doodle,
and the leadership Of the lowest, most
vile and unprincipled men in the dis
trict, have inaugurated a campaign of
of dirty mud-slinging, by which they
hope to drvie republican from the
support or the republican candidate.
Thus far / have met and fully reputed
every charge and / know they can
make none that can not successfully
repute if given an opportunity. This
is also well known to these men but
they will persist in reputing them and
making new ones up to the time of the
closing of the poll must therefore
ask my friend to take some pains to
repute these accusations assuring them
that they have not and can not make
and sustain any charge against my
moral character or honesty. have
lived in this state thirty-four years
twenty years in Shawano and fourteen
years in Merrill and in those
communities the people Will vote for me
and sustain me almost without regard
to parties in the coming contest as
they have in previous ones.
May / ask yo. to render me such as
sistance in you can consistently and
do what YOU can to persuade repub,
licans of your locality to go to the
polls and vote.
The people of this congressional dis
trict without regard to party pre-.
dellctions ought to 60 to the polls and
register their condemnation against
all such dirty work as is being praticed
by the men who are dispensing Mr.
Earley's money. He and his friend
have boosted that they would spend
$4,000 to defeat my election and ]
have the best Of evidence that they
are doing their best to make their
boast good. Republicans should bestir
themselves or there is danger they
may succeed in electing a democrat in
this district. Your truly.

THE SOLDIERS FRIEND.

The following is a copy of letter
written by Mr.. McCord which explains
itself If Mr. McCord is elected the
soldiers will have a friend in him on
whom they can rely. The democratic
newspapers would like to have the
soldiers believe that Farley was in the
army but the letter of the Adiutent
General of Pennsylvania explods that
deception. He says he was not q

DEAR SIR am in accept of your
letter of the 18th inst, enclosing a copy

Grand Army, recently in session at
Columbus, Ohio, inregard to pensions,
and asking me to give my views upon
the same.
In reply | have to say that | have
read the resolntions carefully and have
no hesitation in saying that | fully in
dorse them, and think the demand a
very reasonable and proper one. |
wish also to say, that should | be
elected to Congress. should cheerfully
give my vote for such a law as is ask
ed for by the Grand Army, mentioned
in the resolution. will say further,

ed by armed treason. Yours very truly

EARLEY'S METHODS.

The most disgraceful feature yet in
troduced in the 'SS campaign was
that of last Saturday night in sa-
loon on Third street, at the close Of
the Democratic meeting in Music hall.
General Farley and other Demo-
Gratis went into the saloon and pro-
ceeded to enjoy themselves, beer flow
ing freely. After awhile Farley stepped
behind the bar and helped himself to
cigar, when some one made the re-
mark that the new bartender ought
to treat, and when the boisterous
laughter had subsidized he signaled to
the regular bartender to ''turn the
faucet" and remaining behind the
bar he clinked his glass with the rest
of the boys and a iovial king was he.
It is said that the mayor led the old
fellow away to save the party from
further disgrace.
After such method of catching
drop his ballot into the box bearing
the name of W. III. Farley for con-
gress? VIII you assist in sending such
a man to represent you Id the halls
of congress? 1t would be a disgrace
to the people OF this great district.
The respectable class of Democrats
in this city talk it upon the streets
that the episode OF last Saturday
evening will make five hundred votes
for McCord.
General Farley was seen by the
writer in Merrill last Sunday talking
to two OF the leading Democrats of
that city and handling his poeketbook
in a manner mysterious. Verify the

ocratic candidate strews Doodle along
his Observation-Disclosures Central.

DO THE WORK WELL.

Now that the election OF a Republican
president is assured, it Is very import
ant that the Republicans increase their
diligence to roll up big majority for
Myron H. McCord, as a protectionist
from a strong protection district.
Upon this one issue very much depends
for the future of Ashland as manu-
featuring city With a Democratic
free trade congress, every effort toward
pushing our manufacturing interests
will be directly handicapped. With
an enterprising energetic member in
congress like Mr.. McCord, we have
much to expect.-Ashland Daily Press.

HIGH TAXES AyowED.

Those alleged tariff reform journals
in Minnesota which, after the promul-
CATION of the Chicago platform. swal-
lowed their principles and championed
high tariff, find themselves in the cold
now that HARRISON has succeeded.
Protection and all that the evil name
implies triumphed with HARRISON, and
unless he deliberately chooses to dis
rupt his party. will be the dominant
policy of his administration. Gen.
COLE, Gen. SANBoRN and one or two
dishonest tariff reform Republican
organs in this state may dis
like to accept this fact, but there
it stands, interchangeable for the next
four years. A majority of the Repub-
lican newspapers of Minnesota proudly
hail the triumph. The DISCUSSES of
ante-election days are boldly thrown
aside, and the high tariff, Ben HAIR
RIsoN and SAMUEL RANDALL eulogiZed
in one and the same breath. They
mean that the high tariff shall remain,
and net one measure pass the new con-
gress that can disturb the blOated Sc
renity of the East OF tighten the wicked
burden of the West. There will be no
mistaking in 1892 where the two parties

A NAGGED STATESMAN.

CHAUNcEY NJ. DEPEw complains that
the newspapers are nagging at him,
and that in consequence life Is becom-
ing burdensome. What worries him
most of all is that they say he has the
big head. It is curious fact, which
has possibly escaped Mr. DEPEw's OBJ
servation. that really great men are
never known to complain of newspaper
criticisms, for the simple reason they
never have occasion to. AS a rule, when
a man comes into prominence in public
affairs, the newspapers size him up quite
fairly. If he is a man who has won
his way into prominence by merit, the
newspapers are the first TO recognize the
fact and the foremost to sound his
praises But when the Shoddy states
man appears on the surface-the man
whose eXaltation is due wholly to his
ability to purchase station, or his
shrewdness to dicker for, it-then the
newspapers are apt to take liberties
with him. They comp him down as &C.
casion presents, and as long as he per-
sists in pushing himself to the front to
the exclusion of better men the press
will be pretty sure to keep him and the
country in remembrance OF the fact
that he occupies a place he is not en-
titled to. When Mr.. DEPEw has given
evidence that he is man Of a high
order of craftsmanship; that his politi-
cal prominence is not wholly dependent
on his association with a big railroad
system, the newspapers will quit nag
ging at him,

AROsEArE Future.

In one of his arguments addressed to
congress in support of his plan of COM
pensated emancipation of slaves, Presi-
dent LINCOLN estimated the population
of this country in 1890 as 76.6U.S72. The
figures he gave for 1880 were little in
excess of those shown by the census,
but this was attributable to the check
to growth caused by the war. He based
his figures upon the census Of each
prior decade, which shows all increase
of a fraction less than a5 per cent for
each ten years. With this ratio, in 1900
the population will be 103.2OS, 415. and
in 1890 the enormous total Of PSI, $50 914
With the adjacent lands that will come
under the flag in the next forty years.
the aggregate is more likely to exceed
than fai! below those figures. The
Twin Cities, then one in all but. per-
haps, name and government. will rank
among the greatest commercial and
manufacturing centers of the world,

merce that it would look like wild
flight of imagination to now anticipate.
