There are twenty other regular ports of

the International railroads have now
nearly circumscribed its field of commerce
to the limits of the State of Sinaloa.
All merchandise destined TO interior
points, on leaving the Custom h ouse at the
port OF entry, is accompanied by a certifi-
cate of destination. This is probably
done TO facilitate another imposition, an
interstate tariff which is payable when
ever dutiable merchandise passes through
one State into another. There is also
still further petty annoyance of NUM-

THAT FIYE-CENT FARE.
A Law Found Which Seems to Have
Been Violated.

Adolph Sutro is hard at work preparing
a petition for franchise to construct and
operate streefcar line west of Central
avenue to the Cliff which will exchange
transfers with the California aud Suffer
street lines on 5-cent-the-trip basis. The
route will be either on Suffer or California
street to Clement to Point LcDos avenue,
and the road will be probably a cable road.
Mr.. Sutro has discovered an act approved
January l, 1878. which provides that no
street railroad in any city or town with
more than 100000 inhabitants shall be
allowed to charge or collect a higher fare
than 5 cents per trip of any distance in
one direction along any part of the whole
road or its connections. Heavy penalties
are provided for infractions of this law,
and Mr.. Sutro thinks that the Market
street system comes under this act, as it is
operating the one system from the ferries
tn the beach.

WRESTLING TO KEEP UP coUR-
ACE,

CHICAGO, July 22nd.-The Herald
prints long article giving in detail the
plans of the American Railway Union to
absorb the older railroad brotherhoods,
and of the recently organized American
Labor Union to take in every class of
labor except railroad employees. The
article says that some broad statements
were made by officials at the American
Railway Union headquarters yesterday,
as follows:
That on or about January 18th, 1895,
there would be held in Chicago, con-
vention composed of representative men
of the American Railway Union, the
United Mine Workers of North Ameri-
ca, the Knights of Labor and the Amer
lean Labor Union; that the American
Federation of Labor and the other rail-
way brotherhoods would not be repre-
sented in this convention; that at this
convention all branches of labor repre-
sented would be called on to present a
succinct report as to the then existing
wage scales and how much they had
been cut in 1892, 1898 and 1894; that
these wage scales should then be formu-
lated into demand to be presented to
the corporations and railroads fixing
them on May LIST, 1895, with the demand
that they be readjusted to the basis ex-
listing prior to the hard times, and that
if this demand was not granted gener-
al walkout would follow.

Notes..

Why wouldn't short way out of the
difficulty be to re-enact the Confederate
tariff, the underlying principles of which
were specifically Endorsed by the Chi
cago platform?
John Bull has his hands in his trousers
pockets and is peerihg across the ATTAIN
tic in trepidation. He doesn't like the
looks of those crowded steerages bound
east He's not used to it, and is afraid
he will have to fork over manga return
ticket, or some of the visitors may be
obliged to stop with him. It's a long
lane that has no turning, but even the
tides change, and after all emigration
may be boomerang.
Vice President Stevenson Is ian unus-
ually well-educated man." and he went
through Presidential campaign with
out giving the fact away. Such retl-
cence is nothing short of mastery. 1t
is now stated, on good authority, that he
knows who Homer and Gladstone are
and can define Architecture. The United
States can now hold its head high, in
spite of of Debs and the Sugar reYela-
tions.

Vermont State Fair.

No State in the Union has been less
affected by the hard times that haYe so
generally prevailed than Vermont. The
reasons for this are evident, the natural
fertility of the soil and favorable CHI
mate are supplemented by the thrift, in
telligence and enterprise of the farmer,
and it is in enterprise especially that the
farmer of to-day excels his predecessor
of fifty years ago. Every business man,
if successful, uses every means within
his power to let people know about his
business.
The best farmers are now doing the
same. If you own a fine breed of Jer-
seys, an extra breed of fowls, fancy va
riety of potatoes or apples, there is no
better way in the world to let people
know it than by making an exhibit at
the State fair this fall. 1t will pay you
in dollars and cents, and will add to the
general wealth and prosperity of the
State. Send to E. ]. Wallace, White
River Junction, for premium list.

To Business Men.

A publication devoted to advertising
points out that newspaper has at least
5000 readers to 1000 subscribers. The
BANNERS list is considerably above 1000
names. A merchant who puts out !, 1000
hand bills gets possibly 300 or 400 people
to read them. The hand bills cost as
much as a good advertisement in the
home newspaper. All the women and
girls and half the men and boys read the
advertisement. The merchant who uses
this newspaper, therefore, has over 1000
more readers. There is no estimating
the amount of business that advertis ing
does bring to the merchant, but that
each dollar invested brings good re-
turn is evident by the increasing demand
for advertising space by the shrewdest
men in the mercantile trade.
