If you can't afford fancy pen
wiper, stick your pens in raw
potato.
Can't you sleep at night? Drink a
pint of, so to speak, hot water before you
90 to bed.
Protection of the Adirondacks is a
policy that should be adopted and en-
forced by the State. New York has
been robbed right and left in that region
by lumber and railway companies and
INSCRIPTIONS residents. The result is
that the real and prospective impoverish-
ment of the wealth of woodland in that
section is threatening the various streams
which rise there, notably the Hudson
river, with serious impairment.
We have had queer incident of
political stupinity in this place Eliza
beth, N. j. A short time previous to
election an engraver who was at work in
Singers mandatory in this place,
secured a position engraving on pearl
bnttons in one of the Newark IN. J.)
factories, where he can make from $40 to
$50 per week. OF course he knew that
the Nc Kinley bill had started this indus
try, and yet he went and voted the free
trade Democratic ticket. What do you
thlnk OF such man?
I'm the dry goods trade the effect of
election is still uppermost The amer
icdn Wool Reporter thinks it will lead
to higher prices for wooden goods, for
it will check the increase of production.
Here is an argument from this expert
source, which is especially commended
to those amateur economists who have
anticipated permanently higher prices in
defiance Of the inexOrable laws of supply
and demand. sit is only two months
since the passage of the bill-a short
period of time, and yet from here anC
there, and everywhere, we hear of how
mills contemplated, the construction o.
new mills started upon, the extension o.
old mills, the putting in commission o
old mills that have remained idle fol
months, orders for new machinery, for
eign manufacturers prospecting for site'
on which to build mills, machinery man
ufacturers running day and night oil
orders-what would this eventuslly leaC
to? 1t is idle to argue that these new
enterprises cannot be put on an efficien
footing in sersOn or SO; that is true
but are not our manufacturers looking
forward to a period Of prosperity, GOV
ering more than a year, or two, or thre'
years, and long before the lapse of thre'
years the markets would be OvercrOwde'
with goods. The election means
hating Of many of these nev
enterprises"
The Journal reporter has obtaine'
I this evening some very interesting ant
perfectly reliable information concerning
the programme of action which til
Democrats have marked out for thei
course in the great political battle which
before many weeks at least, will be in
augurated in New Hampshire. AS i
!; well known, the prominent Democrat
of the State held secret conclave i
!, Concord a few evenings ago, and wha
has been divulged is supposed to be
: part of the work that was marked out o
: the occasion. The information obtaine
) proves that the Democrats mean to wag
bitter and unrelenting fight from tn
beginning to the end of the coming leI
, islative campaign.
: The latest example of "Mc Kinle
prices" which have had brought to m
attention is at Tammany SacheI
: Stokes's hostelry. A gentleman who

pigs feet relates that couple of day

suddenly raised from forty to sixty cen
for portion of that article of food. d
Q asked the waiter if a mistake had nj
y been made, and the head waiter Wi

+ waiter duly explained that it was {
e account of the Nc Kinley bill. But tn
Q is the first any one has heard that the
