OF this million NJ little bits of engraved

chant residing atNo. $50 North Seventh
street. who began the task on February
s, 1889 Mr.. Des Oranges says OF his
work:

Daring his stamp hunt Of nearly six
years Mr.. Des Oranges was an almost
dsily visitor at many Of the business Of
fces in the city where large numbers OF
letters were received. At one or two OF
the largest f1ces on Chestnut street all
the envelopes were saved for him from
day to day, ani here he obtained most of
his stamps. he also had an arrsrg ament
with the collectors of curious stamps by
which, when he happened 20 get hold CT
particularly valuable stamp, he would
exchange 1t for several hundred ordinary
cancelled stamps. He cared only for num-
bers, and aimed only at obtsiniug an SO
gregate of 8 million.
Speaking of the work OF collection, Mr..
Des Oranges says:
"The attainmen. of this enormous Ag-
gregstiop, though seemingly waste OF
energy and time, was the means Of fur
nishlDg COZ genial occupation and interest
for the declining years Of the collectors

dustry and determination will produce
results seemingly impossible. The in
trinsi value Of the cole ction probably
reaches 500 or S2C0, but not cent was
expended IN purchasing them"

but it Is not for sale.

What 1t Means.

A freer trade means cheaper man.
ufactures. Cheaper manufactures
means q wider market. A wider
market means more work. More
work means q greater demand for
labor, and therefore higher wages.
Higher wages mean better times for
American workingmen.
This is the chain OF logical Sc
Quences drawn from the Democratic
policy. The United States is the
only nation in the world that main
tains a high tariff on the raw mate
rails Of manufactures. And the
United States is the only large man
ufacturing country that has not in
creased the prop ,rtion of manutac-
tured products in its export during
the past twenty-five years.
The effect of this absurd war-tar-
iff policy has been to glut the home
market with inferior goods and to
close the markets of the world to
our finished products. 1t is this
policy of over-stimulation and
handicapping that has made the
past twenty years a period of brief
"booms," alternating with long sea
sons of stagnation, bankruptcy,
strikes, lockouts and losses.
The Democratic policy means a
more normal condition of business
and better times for everybody

Atlantic and Pacific.

The Los Angeles Tribune has
learned from official sources that
the Santa Fe company will positive
" extend its line from junction
with the Atlantic and Pacific at
Mojave to the city of San Francisco
indeed, a force of graders is al
ready at work in the TETON pass.
These men have been at work there
for a month past, and have already
graded several miles of the road.
The mountains will be crossed
there near old Fort TETON, passage
being objected without a tunnel.
The road is commonly known as the
Wilbur line, but is built by men in
the employ of the Santa Fee, and will
be operated by q Boston company.
The intention is to have trains rum
ming into San Francisco inside of
eighteen months. The new line,
as has been started, will start across
the plains of Kern county from a
point on the Atlantic and Pacific
close to Mojave. but work was not
begun there, for the reason that the
Santa Fe was not pre- pared to make
its intentions public.
From TETON the surveyed line of
the road runs down the broad val
ley of the Guyana river-now a
great grazing county-to the town
of Santa Maria, in Santa Barbara
county, and will then parallel the
Santa Maria Valley narrow guage
to San Luis Ohispo, distance of
about forty miles. From the noun
tains to San Louis Opispo, is 115
miles, over very nearly level coun-
try. Leaving San Luis Obispo the
new road will run down the valley
of the Salinas river, parallel to the
southern Pacific Coast line through
Monterey and Santa Clara counties
and up the east side of San Fran
cisco bay to tidewater opposite the
metropolis.
The route has all been surveyed
but rights-of-way are not obtained
yet, and it is inadvisable cOnse
lquently to map out the road more
definitely. This information, how
ever, is from the inside. and is off
cial. Eventually. also, it is the in
tention of the company to build tbs
much-talked-of short line between
Los Angeles and Louis Ohisl o.

H0lbrOOk Fire.

From various sources we have
learned of the devastating firt
which swept over our little city OF
Holbrook. There was little or
no insurance compared with the
amount of property destroyed. The
HERALD voices the sentiment o:
our whole community in extending
its sympathy to the sufferers. What
ever may have been the feeling OF
rivalry or jealousy existing between
the two communities, such a calam
ity to sister town eyokes profound
regret. The mantle of silence and
charity drops gracefully over any
past differences, and the misfor-
tunes of our sister city become
ours. We hope soon to learn that
the people have rebound their cour
age, and with characteristic energy
are beginning to rebuild their faller
fortunes.

Hon. Joseph E Mcdonald express
es the opinion that Thurman's NOM
nation for Vice President has help
ed the party in Indiana, and he is
certain that, the electoral votes of
that State will be cast for the Dem
ocratic nominees. Indiana is a
peculiar State" says the ex-Sena-
tor. "In ordinary elections she is
close and uncertain, but when the
dividing line is drawn on ques-
ton of Democratic principles there
are some seven, eight or nine thou
sand voters who appear at the polls
with Democratic ballots, and who
inevitably and invariably decide
the issue. To these voters the NOM
nation of Thurman appeals with
irresistible force, for his nomina-
ton means all that Democracy and
Democratic principle means. The
triumph Of tho Democratic National
ticket in Indiana is certain"
The St. Johns herald. (St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona Territory [Ariz.]) 1885-1903, 1888-07-05

THE Philadelphia Record very
correctly says: The delay in es-
tablishing thorough-going recipro-
city of trade with Mexico is most
hurtful and inexcusable neglect up
on the part Of the government.
We send to that country in the
course of a year about s12,0O0,O00
worth of goods. With such unre-
stricted trade as is carried on be-
tween the several states of the union
the business with Mexico would
soon be trebled. Now that we have
secured inland access by railway to
Mexican markets we are in the po-
sition of holding the COW 10y the
horns and tail while other nations
milk her.
