A POSER FOR M'KINLEY.

Major Mckinley was somewhat sur
prised when he took from his mail the
other day a letter from a Washin9to
workingman putting to him perfectly
simple and logical question, to which he
cannot object, but which he will be put
to his trumps to answer.
This man is an Irishman by birth,
whose mother lives in the old country.
Not very long ago she knitted several
pairs of woollen socks, which she sent
over to her son as a present. The cost
of such articles would be about twenty
cents pair at home, yet when the
bundle arrived in this country the poor
fellow was compelled to pay duty
equal to twenty-five cents pair.
He has now written to Major McKin
ley, reminding that gentleman of hi
oft-repeated assertion that it is not the
American consumer but the foreign
producer who pays the tax ON imported
goods. He says in his letter that ther,
is evidently something wrong in this
and wants to know where in the oil
world he shall send his bill for the re
bate of the money he has paid.

THIS is the time of the year when
trade is apt to be dull, especially in
some lines. The shrewd merchant adopts
the opportunity to do a little more
advertising and catches what trade
there is moving, while his less enter
prising competitor thinks there is no use
trying to stir up business. Yet this is
the season when persistent and
judIcious advertising pays the mer.
chant best. Advertising in this
neighborhood, to be judiciously placed
must be put in the DEMOCRAT.

A DAY or two after Mr.. B1aine's res
ignation a letter reached the white
house from an ambitious young man in
Iowa in which the writer asked for In
formation about the duties required of
the secretary of state and "how much
the wages were" The correspondent
added that if the salary was satisfactory
and the labors not too arduous he
would like to make application for the
Job. The affairs of state of this nation
will certainly not suffer for lack of
genius.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
FOR PRESIDENT,
GROVER CLEVELAND, OF New York.
FOR vIcE-PREsIDENT,
ADLAI e. STEVENSON, of Illinois.

THE attendance at the New Britain
races this week is small, although
there have been ninety-nine horses
entered and the track record has been
lowered one second. Neglect to properly
advertise the meeting is the principal
cause of the financial failure of the
races. The one thing that these small
meetings fail in more than another is
in the manner of advertising.
