The man who conducts his bust
ness on the theory that it doesn't
pay, and he can't afford to advertise,
sets up his judgement in opposition
to that of all the best business men
in the world. With a few years
experience in conducting a small
business ON few thousand dollars
of capital, he assumes to know more
than thousands of men whose hourly
transactions aggregate more than
his do in year, and who have made
their millions by pursuing a course
that he says dosen't pay.
If advertising doesn't pay, why is
it that the most successful mer-
chants of every town, large and small,
are the heaviest advertisers?
If it doesn't pay to advertise, wig
do the heaviest business firms
in the world spend millions in that
way? Is it because, they want to
donate those millions of dollars to
the newspaper and magazine publish
ers, or because they don't know as
much about business as the six for
a-dollar "store keeper in a country
town, who says money spent in adj
vertising is thrown away, or donut-
ed to the man to whom it is paid
Such talk is simply ridiculous, and
it requires more than the average
patience to discuss the proposition
of whether advertising pays or not
with that kind of man. His com
placent self-conceit in assuming
that he knows more than the whole
business world, is laughable, and re-
minds us of the man who proved
that the world doesn't revolve by
placing pumpkin on stump and
watching it all night.

The House Committees.

Speaker Reed has very promptly
announced the leading committees
upon which the dispatching of Con-
gressional business in great degree

that they are such as were to be ex-

no reason to find fault on the ground
of lack of consideration for their
foremost men.

Who Protection Protects.

The protectionist pirate will mix
the workingman up with highfalutin
about specific and ad valorem duties,
about the repeal of internal revenue
taxes for poor folks benefit, and
then wind up by persuading him
that the tariff protects the wage
worker from the competition of for
eign pauper labor.
Yet the workingman is painfully
certain all the time that his protect
ed and protectionist employer hires
his help so far as they are able to
render the desired service from the
flocks Of foreign immigrants that
come in a ceaseless stream, and that
the tendency of wages as a whole is
downward. Sometimes, too, he has
vague notion that if foreign cheap
labor is to come here and help crowd
his wages down it would somehow
sort of even things up little if that
terrible tariff didn't bar out cheap
err goods from the same foreign coun-
tries.
The situation was bad, butt would
be worse were it not for the fact that
this workman and his fellows are be-
ginning to believe the truths told
about the tariff and the protective
policy that protects everybody but
the consumer. They begin to real
ize that the scheme is easy to under
stand that its as simple as any other
kind of stealing; that the tariff is a
tax; that the consumer pays it, and
that the protected manufacturers
East and West get so much more of
it than they have any reasonable or
rational use for that they have to
elbow it in" like this:
George Pullman paid $1,000 for
the choice of box for PATHS open
ing night, December 9, at Chicago;

Judges to Run the Elections.

In the Senate last week Mr. Chand-
Ter introduced a bill which, if made
law, would serve the double pur-
pose of bringing the federal judiciary
everywhere into politics and taking
all congressional elections under fed
eral control. The plan is to place
such elections under the control OF
commissioners appointed by the
the judges of United States circuit
court whenever ten men in q congress
sional district make affidavit that
the state officers would not, in their
belief, hold fair elections. Ten men
could not always be had to make an
affidavit in any district, so that the
proposal is substantially to transfer
all congressional elections from state
to federal control. The object of Mr..
Chandler is, of course, to get con-
greSSl0nal elections IN the south into
the hands of republican partisans.
His acquaintance with the personnel
of the federal judiciary in that Sec
tion is such that he believes his
object will be accomplished if he can
get the judges of the federal courts
authorized to run the elections. No
doubt many, or most, of them owe
their appointments to the fact that
they are hostile to the convictions OF
the people among whom they per-
form their functions, but this Cir
cumstance ought to be a reason for
diminishing, rather than increasing,
their power in local politics.

A MIDNIGHT DRIVE.
The Thrilling Experience Of West

Mountains.
From the Washington Post,

From the Washington Post.
when l went out over the West
Virginia Central few days ago."
said Hon. James ID. Butt, of Har.
per's Ferry to the Post, Il had one
experience I'll be slow forgetting.
There were several of us in the par.
ty. We got off at ~one station and
had to drive several miles across the
country to new hotel which was
just being built. 1t was pitch dark
when we left the station. A couple
of boys came after us in country
wagon with span Of spirited young
horses. l got on the front seat with
them. l noticed the travelling was
rough.
what is the matter with the
road?' l asked
"Ain't no road here We are just
travelling across lots In about fit
teen minutes we strike ii plank
bridge across gully, and then We
get onto the pike"
How far is it?'
about three miles.
GLOW in the name of heaven can
you tell when you strike the
hridge?'
Hear the horses hoofs on the
planks."
"But if there is no road what is to
hinder you from driving into the
gully instead of onto the bridget"
"Oh, we can feel our way. l have
been driving here, day and night for
the last year,and have never got into
the gully yet"
"There wasn't much consolation
in that" continued Mr.. Butt. "Then
we were driving over open fields at
fast trot behind two colts, in dark
ness so dense you could hardly see
your hand before you, and aiming
for a bridge sixteen feet wide, three
miles away, over gully of unknown
depth. ! felt queer In about fif
teen minutes the driver said he reck-
oned we were nearly to the gully. /
could hear my heart thump, but in
another minute the horses feet
struck the planks, we were on the
pike. 1t was a remarkable piece of
driving. say it and l have seen a
good deal Of it. The pike was fine,
and we bowled up to the hotel
in a short time. The elevation there
is considerable, and the hotel was
hardly more than rooted in. We
all slept in our clothes for warmth
and weren't too warm then.
SIN the morning we had to rout
out early TO take the train. Our
breakfast was pretty tough, but Ino
ticed that the girls were paying con
siderable attention to lot of car
penters over on the other side of the
room, and that they seemed to be
faring sumptuously. You see, we
were transients, while the carpenters
were regular boarders. ] honeyed

about ten minutes had a good steak,
some fried potatoes and a cup of hot
coffee. | tell you there is nothing

National Bankrupt Law.

The advantage of suca law, uni
form for all the States, cheaply adj
ministered and doing justice alike
to the creditor and the honest debt
or, has long been urged. The OBJ
lection to the first national bank
rupt law and the just cause of its
repeal, was that the assets of the
bankrupt were nearly all eaten up
in charges, that the delays in dis
tributing what remained of the
estate-if there was any residue
were almost interminable, and that
creditors were subjected to many an
noyances and embarrassments in
proving their accounts. The repeal
of the national bankrupt law of 1867
and the return to the bankrupt laws
of the individual States was there
fore looked upon as a relief. But
there is not only no uniformity in
the bankruptcy laws of the several
States, which is of itself cause of
great embarrassment to distant cred
itors but they sometimes work in
Justice to them in what they charge
to be 'sindiscriminate and fraudulent
preferences now allowed under the
general assignment laws" Admit
ting that under the old law the per-
centage Of dividends was much small
Ter than it ought to have been be-
cause the fees and charges swallowed
up so much of the assets, the advo-
Gates of the Torrey bill claim that
the expenses are much reduced
that under uniform system of bank
ruptcy all failures can and will be
subjected to the closest scrutiny, that
creditors will have the assurance
that the assets, after de0ucting the
simple necessary expenses, will be
used for the payment of the bank
rupt's liabilities, and that while the
honest bankrupt will have nothing
to fear, those who are dishonest can
be made to pay the penalty of the
law. One serious point that will be
raised against any general bankrupt
law that may be framed is that it
shall not interfere with State home
stead exemptions. Such exemptions
are common in the Southern States.
They grew out of the poverty of the
people after the war, and were, and
perhaps are now to some extent, an
absolute>necessity. To the extent
of protecting the homestead from
the claims of creditors the Southern
members of Congress are in accord,
and they will doubtless oppose the
passage of any general bankrupt law
that does not concede this exemp-
ton. Looking at the Torrey bill as
whole subject, as it probably will
be, to some notifications in Con
gress in the way of simplifying pro-
ceedings, it appears to be Invested
of the principal defects of the old
bankrupt law, and well calculated
to deal equitably between the bank
rupt and his creditors. Either this
bill or some other framed on similar
lines has become, in the view of lead
ing business men, a necessity, and
there ought to be no difficulty in
uniting upon measure of this kind
to reconcile conflicting opinions
where the Importance Of uniform
law of bankruptcy for all the States
is so obvious and so much to the in
terest of all the parties concerned.

Little by Little They Yield.

The Republicans bravely and
sweepingly inserted in their last Ma
tional platform: eve favor the en-
tire repeal of internal taxes, rather
than surrender any part of our sys-
TEN of protection"
That was their war cry last fall,
and particular stress was laid on
"surrendering any part of our sys-
tenn of protection" Mr.. James G..
Blaine stumped the country anathe-
matizing every one who did not swal-
low every bit and silver Of that
plank, knotty and gnarled as it was.
With that singular inconsistency
that marks his character so deeply
we find him now presiding over a
free trade Congress of Nations and
declaring for a surrender of the
whole system of protection so far as
it applies to the American Continent.
Little by little the Republicans are
admitting the untenableness of
their position on the tariff question.
and are by the compulsion of cir
circumstances vindicating the wis
dom and the righteousness of the
Democratic position. Yes, Mr. Blaine
goes back on the protection plank of
the Chicago platform and admits
that it is best to surrender at least a
part Of "our system of protection"
But if part, why not the whole, Mr..
Blaine? If it will stimulate our in
dustries to have free trade with the
other nations in this hemisphere,
why will not the benefit be increased
by free trade with the nations
beyond the seas as well? The
old gag about "the pauper labor OF
Europe" will not afford a reply to
this query, because the pauper labor
of Europe comes in, and has come
in for years, without the payment OF
a single cent of duty, until it has
run the American workman out Of
every skilled employment and made
Of him pauper and a tramp.
Mr.. Blaine is not alone in this in
consistency. We find the disting-
uished Republican Governor of Mas
sachusetts also clamoring for a re
duction of tariff duties, and the sol
emn declaration to the same support
has but recently been recorded by
Massachusetts Republicans in theil
State Convention.
Truly the cause is gaining wher
such souls become converts.
