Good Advice

We clip the following from the Chi
cago Republican and commend it te
our readers:
A newspaper is like chnrch: it
wants fostering at the commencement
and for few years, then as a gener-
al thiug it can walk alone, and reflect
credit upon its location. Take your
home paper: 1t gives you more news
of immediate interest than the New
York or other distant city papers. 1t
talks for you when no other will speak
in your favor; when other localities
belle you. it stands up for your rights
you always have champion in your
home paper; and those who stand up
for you should certainly be we'll sus-
tanned. Your interests are kindred
and equal, you rise and fall together.
Therefore it is to your interest to sup
port your paper not grudgingly, but
in liberal spirit, as a pleasure; not
as disagreeable buty, but as an in
vestment that will amply repay ex.
penditure.
Thomas County cat., 1890-03-27

by advertising, persistently and judi
ciously done," said the late A. T.
Stewart, the wsll-known millionaire
merchant of New York. He advertis-
ed both in season and out of season,
but when trade became slow his adver-
tisements were always larger, and his
familiar announcements to the buying
classes were so regular in their appear
ance that buyers found them selves
forced to trade with him when other
merchants, who cut down their adver-
tisiDg expense whenever business be-
gan to shrink, were not doing any
business.
The only logical way to command
trade in dull seasons is to make more
than ordinary effort to interest buyers,
instead of Withdrawing advertisements
from the papers in which customers
have become accustomed to look for
information concerning fast selling
specialties or stable goods.

Farmers and Free Trade,

The Free-Trade organs and Golden
Club attorneys are renewing and re-
doubling their efforts to convince the
American farmer that his interests do
not lie in the direction of Protection.
They tell him that he is getting poor
er every year, and that all his reverses
are due to the tariff which is taxing
him beyond his ability to pay. They
appeal to him to accept their diagnosis
of his case and their remedy to cure
his ailments
What is their remedy? Protection,
they assert, is the direct cause of his
troubles, therefore Free-Trade must
be the cure. The intelligent farmer
Looks into the matter and asks: "lf
this Tariff is such burdensome tax
on me, how is it that l am paying so
much less for the necessaries of life.
and luxuries, too, than I used to pay
when we had tariff for revenue only?
| am buying not only my groceries
cheaper, but my clothing, my blankets
IN! mowers, and reapers, my wagons
and carriages, my plows and har-
row my farming utensils of all kinds,
much cheaper than they were ever
sold in this country be fore the present
Protective system was established.
He accounts for this by wisely arguing
that domestic competition, built up by
the fostering influences of protection,
has been the means of reducing the
prices of manufactured articles to the
present standard. How, then, he asks
can the tariff be such a tax burden on
him. when everything he has to buy
is cheaper than it used to be before
the present tariff system was adopted?
But you are hard up, Mr.. Farmer, "
say the free-traders, land you can't
deny it. Perhaps the farmer is
some are and some are not-but if he
asks the free-traders to make known
