 How much more conclusive is such showing than all the fine spun theory of cloistered netaphysicians. The people may be for time mystifed with ab- stractions. but these soon disappear in the light of facts. The above table con- stitutes bulwark for Protection which no assaults of Free-trade theorists can overcome. It is a showing of which every true American will be proud, and is to be accounted for only as the result of the benefcent policy of Protection to Ameri- can industry. Shall that policy be now abandoned? sittshttlt
 The figures of the census of 1890 arc not yet at hand. While it is certain that these will abundantly sustain those of 1880, they will lack the essential advan- tage of the latter in having no period of tariff for revenue" for contrast with its grand showing.

The boom in spring advertisinq.


 Spring is the season when the young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. The young woman's imagine tion is more practically directed towards the numerous spring openings and con- temptation of the bargains counter. Now is the time to advertise. Buyers are looking for bargains, and they na- turally turn to these columns for an- nouncements. You can expect them to look you up and ask if you have any thing to sell.
 Style is of paramount importance in advertising. We have been giving some striking samples of the possibilities in this line lately. Probably they have caught your eye. That's what they're for. This particular form of advertising has worked wonders in John Wana- makers business, and is known as the Wanamaker style. It has made his for tune. Advertising will make your for tune if you have energy and nerve.
 Top of column.
 Such a location is very desirable and rather expensive. But it's cheap at any price. If your goods are all wool they deserve to rank high in our columns. But to well worded and tastefully de- signed adhere precedence of position is not essential. It will attract attention anywhere.
 Next to reading matter.
 Shrewd advertisers have predilection for placing their announcement as nearly as possible to genuine reading matter, where it appeals insidiously to the wandering eye of the reader and abstracts his attention from the Crisis in Europe to the Crisis in Crash Towel. lings or the latest thing in Haberdash- cry. r'
 Speaking of reading notices.
 We can put your announcement in plain words, in plain type and in plain sight of every casual reader. This form of advertising proves exceedingly re- munerative in some cases.
 Run of the paper
 The advertiser who has sufficient faith in the integrity and discretion of our accomplished foreman to trust to his judgment in the location and display ol advertisements never gets left in the long run. Change is law of nature and it is we'll to apply it in your busi ness announcements. Variety is the spice of advertising.

Do Democrat. Wan. Fr...rr.d.,

It would seem so from the following extracts taken from letters read at the Free-trade meeting recently held at Cooper Union:
 Congressman Clifton R. Breckinridge, of Arkansas: rl
 ''Let every man be free, and let trade be free, that every freeman may enjoy the maximum profits of his own labor"
 Congressman M. D. Harter, of Ohio:
 "We are the advocates of what is called Free-trade."
 Congressman John De Witt Warner, of New York:
 'I regret that an engagement to speak in Milwaukee on the Sd inst. will deprive me of the pleasure of taking any part in the Cooper Union Free-trade meeting"
 David A. Wells:
 'I am in sympathy with every move ment organized as Tariff Reform Tar. tiff for Revenue Only, ee-Trade,' Farmers Alliance,' or any other name"
 Henry George:
 "Allow me in this way to express my joy that men differing on other things at last unite to declare for Free-trade and to proclaim uncompromising hostility to all tariffs"
 Congressman Tom l.. Johnson, of Ohio:
 Count me at all times for Free-trade and direct taxation. I am Free-trader because I am Democrat. I am for Mills, of Texas, for speaker of the house, because l want to have an out and out Free-trader take the chair held by Reed. Let Democratic leaders, then, 6e men. They acknowledgeFree-trade in private, let them stop talking in public of per centages merely"
 We will conclude these extracts with the following from Governor Hill, of New York:
 "They greatly mistake public senti- ment who assume to construe the revo- lution last autumn at the polls as popu- lar manifestation in favor of radical tariff legislation"

IT is overstepping the bounds of pol itical criticism when journals like the New York World charge upon President Harrison the responsibility of making MT. Quay chairman of the National Committee and insist that the President can depose him as if he was Federal official. MT. Harrison was nominated for President by the same body that made MT. Quay member of the Ma tional Committee, on his nomination for that place by the Pennsylvania del- egation. The National Committee is an independent organization, drawing its powers from the same body that made President Harrison the standard bearer of the party, but to read the Democratic press and believe thefr assertions it is as much subordinate to the President as his secretaries and clerks in the White House.

A PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.

It is painful circumstance for the REPUBLICAN to be obliged to announce the arrest of Dr. Scott Helm, Surgeon General of the Territory, and prom ineut practicing physician of this clty, on charge of malpractice. The affair has been no doubt much exaggerated by floating street rumors, and as the charge is denied en toto by Dr. Helm, he is en. titled, in view of his past reputable ca reer, to full consideration and belief pending trial of the case which, it is hoped, will place the responsibility where it belongs. In matters of this kind, where go much is at stake, the public can afford to withhold judgment until the actual facts are brought out by due process of law. a'I [. -sr17ai

ARIZONA FRUIT IN DENVER.

Col. Masten reports that the carload of Sweet sultana grapes shipped from here on the 17th inst. arrived in Denver yesterday morning ct 5 o'clock in prime condition--a journey of seventy-three hours. This was an experimental ship ment. and at the time was discouraged by many prominent fruit growers and shippers as being impracticable. The result, however, is one of great im- portance te the community. It estab- fishes the fact that fruit can be shipped through in perfect state, and thus forestsl the California market by over twelve hours.
 Denver is heavy consumer of fresh fruits. Next to Chicagoi it ranks first in consumption of California fruits. From an estimate in well-known fruit jour nal, $50 carloads of deciduous and 150 cal loads of citrus fruits are shipped there annually from Southern Cali fornis alone. A very large supply of apples are received also from Kansas and Missouri; over l, 200, 900 quarts of strawberries come into her market 1; 200 cars of bananas, and large quanti- ties of grapes, peaches, nectarines, raisins, grapes, nuts and small fruits. This entire trade Arizona is in position to fill, and the success of the first ship ment of variety of grapes which are considered of the more perishsbls sort will give an impetus to this Denver trade otherwise unthought of. We hope to see the proposition industriously fol- lowed up. Denver is one of the most thriving cities on the continent today. Her people have the money to pay for what they get. They are somewhat epicurean in taste, and can appreciate the superior quality of our Arizona fruits. The advantages which ws have over California in the matter of trans portation and in producing earlier fruits should be great stimulus to the fruit grower and those who contemplate en- tering that lucrative field of work.

A WONDERFUL RECORD.
PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE
 IN MARKED CONTRAST.
Results of "Revenue Tarif''-What a
 About-A Showing for Americans.

Tho tariff for revenue only" enacted by Democratic congress in 1S46, had been in operation seventeen years when the present Protective tariff was adopt cd. The condition of the business and finances of the country during the four years preceding 1861 is fresh in the minds of all persons old enough to ap- preciate it. Some idea of the fruits of Revenue tariff" may be had from the effects of the one then in operation upon the credit of the government. In De- cember, 1860, owing to extreme needs in meeting daily expenses, congress pro vided for the issue of treasury notes, payable in one year. Of these $1O, ,0OO, 900 were issued, the discount on which ranged from to 12 per cent. In Febru- ary, 1861, a 6 per cent. loan of $25, ,0O0,- 600 was authorized, of which only $1S,- 000, 900 could be disposed of. Those sold brought only eighty-nine cents on the dollar. So desperate was the condition of the national credit that the Demo- cratic secretary of the treasury even suggested that the states be called on to lend their credit as basis for borrowing money to meet current expenses. So much for the "tariff for revenue only" of 1S48.
 Alongside the foregoing picture of business prostration and national dis credit let us now place brief view of the state of things to which seventeen years of Protective policy brought the country. This is most succinctly done from official sources, showing the growth of the na- tion in population, industries and com merce during the period named-from 1880 to 1880.
 Nosuch showing ever was made by any other country in the worlds history, as none other is found in the recaed of this country. The advances shown by the figures cannot be duly appreciated. Look ct them-60 per cent. increase in popu' latiou: 2l2 in farm lands; 1SS in wheat and l05 in corn production; 8,603 in ex- port of wheat, 2,862 of corn, 286 of wool, l50 of merchandise; while the enormous balance of $5S, ,000, 900 of coin exported un' der the tariff for revenue" was changed to 176, 900, 900 balance in imports of that important commodity.
 With all this it must be remembered that the first years of the period last

After having tried Free-trade for ten years Sweden fell into line with other enlightened nations a few years ago and adopted Protection. She is evidently satisfied with her new policy, if we may judge from the recommendations lately made to the parliament by a commission appointed to consider the question, that duties be largely increased. As the par liament is strongly Protectionist in sen timent there can be little doubt that the recommendations will be adopted.
