A Word 10 Advertisers

The actual cash value of advertIs-
ing space in any medium is based on
two factors, viz: the eItent aud ghdt-
tn of that mediums circulation. IL
it be an established fact that the rea'
ders of paper are almost exclusively
of that class that constitutes the reg
ular or probable buyer of your graoe
of goods, then manifestly, the only
question in determining the value ol
space is that of the EXTENT of cir
culation.
AT a glance, advertising rates might
seem, or sound, high, and yet in real
lty they are very cheap indeed. 1t il
more self evident that it is far cheap
er, more profitable and less trouble to
reach, say 10000 readers Of the right
kind, through one medium at lOc per
line, than through fUe at &c per line
Among advertisers there is no folly
like that of buying space simply be-
cause ''it does MT cost much"
If the NORTHWEST followed the
practice of some papers it would claim
circulation of anywhere from 1000
to 8 600 copies. On the other hand, it
has never claimed more than it could
actually guarantee.
A level headed business man adver-
tises for BUSINESS, and not for SEN
timent or pleasure. If tnis be not his
motive, why advertise at all
That the NORTHWEST is read by ev-
erybody, that is, by almost all the
community who are buyers and pay
for what they get, is a fact as well es-
tablished and as well known as the
very existence of the paper itself. Are
these not the people whose patron-
age you wish to cultivateP II SO, the
NORTHWEST is the advestising me-
dium you want and are looking for.

The eX-Czar of the House is not to
be allowed to monopoIize the role of
clOwn on the floor of the present
House. He has a rival in the person
of Boutele, OF Maine, who was so
much worked up because the House
adopted Holman's bill against suhsi-
dies, that he took upon himself the
task of making a funny speech to ease
his mind. After serving the House
with sort of pot pourri, made of
equal parts of Dickens, EdIson's pho
nograph and Democratic economy, he
jumped i'll over his head by hurting
anathemas at the Democratic party
because Mrs. Flower, the wife of New
York's popular Governor, did not find
the contents of the linen and china
closets as turned over by the retiring
bachelor Governor, to be as full and
complete as she desired. This was hu-
NOR of the most subtle kind

The Fools are not all Dead.

A lazy man, whose horses and cart
were stuck in the mud, prayed to Ju-
piter for help. Jupiter answered: "Fool!
get up and put your shoulder 70 the

you can help yourself" Foolish people
buy medicines hap-hazard, bIindly
trusting to promises made without q
guarantee. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is guaranteed to cure
colds, coughs, and all lung affections,
and even Consumption, in its early
stages. 1t puts to rout all stomach
troubles, purifies the blood, gives
health action to the sluggish liver, and
drives blemishes from the skin. II Is
an honest medicine, and an invaluable
health insurance policy which should
never be allowed to lapse. All drug
gists keep 1t.

Gov. MCKINLEY wants u Tax Com
mission appointed. And what can a
Tax Commission do? Taxes are levied
under constitutional provisions, and
the system of taxation cannot be
changed unless the constitution be
amended, and the vote of last Fall
shows that this cannot be done. The
only thing Tax Commission can do
is to recommend an increase of the
levy II the revenues are not sufficient,
and the County Commissioners can dc
that or will have to do 1t since the
valuation of taxable property has been

A MOVE in the right direction has
been made by Representative Scott,
of Illinois, in introducing bill pro-
hibiting the post-office department
from selling stamped envelopes bear
ing the usual printed request for re-
turn to the writer after limited per-
iod. Under the present law" says
Mr.. Scott, "the government is direct
competitor with every printing house
in the country. tits not only COM
petitor but it gives itself monopoly.
The government furnishes the envel-
opes stamped and printed for the price
that they are furnished without the
return card. This il an unwarranted
trespass by the government upon the
private business of every printer in the
United States. If this is legitimate and
fair, why not let the government &c
into the business of printing deeds and
mortgages =? Why not make cottor
goods at cost and furnish them to con
sumers? Why not go into any othel
branch of private business ? 1t can
not be seen why the eaprinter should be
thus Disseminated against. The bill
does not ask protection or favors fo
the great printing industry Of thi
country. 1t simply asks the govern
ment to take its strong arm off ant
give 1t a fair chance. Many million
of dollars are by thisac annually tax

does not seem fair or just. 1t is assert

THERE are people living in NapO-
leon who can never lie satisfied with
( their situation and surroundings. The
house they live in is the poorest in the
neigbOrhood. They talk about "this
old town" and wish they were out of
i. Some other place, they are sure,
would afford them blessings not to he
found in this one. They say that fate
as well as the people are against them.
There are Others who can never be
recOnciled to the age in which they
live. They act as if they thought
Providence should have consulted
them as TO when and where they
should have been born, and they talk
of the good old days when they were
boys, halcyon times that they have
heard of, but have never seen, and the
imperishable dead fly in their oint-
ment is the thought that they would
have startled the world by their
genius, if they had lived i'm better
age and among more appreciative
people. Stop your everlasting grum-
bling; you are only u mediocre in abill-
ty, disgruntled pigmy at best. The
age we live in is good one; the town is
one of the best in the state. You may
be happy you will. There is silver
lining to every cloud if we will only
look at the bright side. There are sins
to lament and faults to cure. This
world is full of blemishes to be remov-
ed, sorrow to assuage, tears to dry,
hearts to heal, and lives to purify. If
you drop out of your thoughts and
lives that foolish idea that you were
born great and only lack an oppor-
tunity to perch upon the topmost
round of wealth and fame, and go to
work in earnest you will find Napo-
leon a grand town, this the best age in
the history of the world and life to be
worth living.

THERE is much war talk in WASH
ington, and indeed newspaper cores
pondents have the war already COM
menced, although no declaration has
yet come from the government. One
enterprsing correspondent goes so far
as to make public our plan of attack
upon Chilli Here it is:
"In the navy department prepara-
tions for war are going on just as if
war had already been declared, Every
day how is held in the seretary's Of
flee conference which virtually is a
council of war. The naval plan Is to
seize 1quique, wh"rce all the nitrate
is shipped; take Lodi, the great coal
ing post, and bombard Valparaiso.
If the bOmhardment and reduction OF
Valparaiso will not be sufficient tn
induce the Chilians to sue for peace, q
land force will be dispatched against
Santiago, the capital of the Republic
1t is calculated that the vessels that
will take part in the bombardment
| will be able to furnish force of al
least three thousand blue jackets and
marines. This will not be sufficient tC
send into hostile country SO far from
the base of supplies, especially as {
small force will be left in Valparaiso
to protect the city. AS Valparaiso
will be covered by the guns Of the U
S. ships, small body of soldiers is al
that is necessary for this purpose. l

further tribute from forbearing and
le.sLfltIil Itopie.
TIL future of our Government de-
end upon the ultimate solution of
this great problem of taxation.
Our people had, 10y seemingly
successful experience OF one hundred
years, proclaimed to the world the
capacity of man for self-gOvernment,
but this cunDingly devised. and rev.
olutionary use fthe strong arm of the
Government, by the barOns of pro-
tective tariff, in their efforts for for
tune and power, involves us in still
another contest for the maintenance
OF IA government of the people, for
the people, and by the people," in
fact, as well as in name.
The magnitude of such an issue, so
FAR reaching in lis influence and eff
iecls, lraught with the happiness and
prosperity, or the political oppression
and slavery, not only of his generations.
out OF generations yet unborn, cannot
be Overestimated.
But, firm in my faith in TIE intelli-
gence and patritOsm of the people,
am confident in the belief, that when
they reach full and final conclusion
upon this fundamental principle of
taxation, they will determine it in
favor OF the struggling. toiling mill
ions of this land. who, too long al.
ready, have been the misguided vic
Tins of this cruel and odious doctrine,
OF protection; and will establish it as q
principle never under any circum-
stances to be varied or abandoned,
that the Government has no c0nstitu-
nal power to impose and collect tariff
duties, except for revenue alone, and
that even then the collection of such
taxes shall he limited to the necessities
of the Government, honestly, and eco
nomically administered.
THIS battle for tariff or revenue
must be fought and won under the
banner of Democracy.
1t is TIE proud mission of the DEM
ocratic party to lead in this fight for
tariff reform, so courageously begun
by Grover Cleveland, and Demo-
cratic House of Representatives, four
years ago.
A higher and more exalted leader
ship, our party could not assume.
May the love of liberty and right
and justice speede the day, when,
gloriously triumphant, it will, forever,
expunge the foul blot of protection
from the fair escutcheon of our grand
and mighty Republic.
