THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1892.

The Republican and Democratic pres idential candidates are the same as those nominated in 1888. The platforms of the two parties are practically those of 1888. The issues are the same now as then viz: whether we shall have tariff for revenue only, or 8 tariff so adjusted as to protect American industries and encourage the manufacture in this coun- try of everything which can be manufac- tured here with benefit to ths people of the United States. Consequently we cannot see any reason why there should be an educational campaign" this year. There is now no necessity for politicial meetings, torchlight processions etc. The people understand the questions at issue and there is no need of public speakers or of thrashing the old straw over again. In fact there is no. oppor- tunity for campaign speakers; but there is an unprecedented opportunity for campaign liars, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they will get in their work. =-e

Speaking at meeting of the Middle ton Cooperative society, the chairman said he should like the, members to re- mind their wives that when they went to any of the shops of the society they should be careful to see that an equal weight of paper was put on each scale, and that they got full weight of any article without the paper. This system was commenced st the beginning of last quarter, and it had made difference in the dividend of about twopence in the pound, or at the very least of 14 pence in the pound. They had turnover of about e15, ,000 per quarter in the grocery department alone, and the change meant about G10O, or e8 per week less in re- esdpts. Tt-Bits.
