1t is not necessary for one to be
an acrobat in order to tumble to the
fact that advertising is a good
thing.
Cleanliness may be next to godli-
ness; but the biggest advertiser
sells most soap.
AS the rudder is to the ship, SO
is printers ink and judicious adver-
tisinq to the success of any business
that makes a bid for public patron

wasted. Only the down strokes

Good ads are down strokes for suc-
sessful business,
"The business in which you know
you could make money, is always
monopoized by others" The golden
opportunity is still open tor those
who reach over others by more and
better advertising.
"Econmy is a good thing, but II

THE EFF Feet OF HIGHER PRICES

A pound of fact is worth
a ton of theory in estimating the
effects of the new tariff law. The
World is giving the facts as to the
advance in prices which some days
ago it said would be the one certain
result Of the Dingley bill.
The grocers have already advanc-
ed the price OF sugar six-tenths OF
a cent pound merely as a prellml-
naiy increase. The consumers OF
the country will pay to the treasury
at least $25, 100000 and probably
$50 100000 more for their sugar
under the new law than they did
under the one which it displaced.
The exactions of the sugar trust
will add millions more to the cost as
pure robbery
The testimony of merchants in
The World yesterday showed that
there has already been an advance
of from 10 to 25 per cent on all
woolen goods, 1t will cost much
more to keep warm next winter
Hides have advanced by reason OF
the new tax, and an increase in the
cost Of boots and shoes, from 80 to
80 cents pair is expected. An
An advance of prices all along the
line is inevitable. AS an offset to
this one of the merchants asks;
"But isn't the consumer better OFF
If he gets more money!"
There is much virtue IN an IT,.
Will the consumer get more money!
This also will be a question of fact
rather than Of theory The con-
sumers will know-the politicians
and the protected class need make
no mistake about that They knew
IL in 1890 and 1892, ut was the
shopping women who did it," said
Speaker Reed, in explaining the
Republican overthrow in those
years. In certain lines Of produc-
tion It Is not unlikely that wages
will advance somewhat as the re-
suit of reviving industry But
there is small probability that the
Increase In wages will equal the In
crease in the cost Of living. For
the large class Of saaried persons
there is even less prospect of com
peusating advance In pay,
AS a proof of a pudding Is In the
eating, so the proof of law is in
It's working, The World intends to
present an accurate and impartial
record Of the operation of the new
tariff. New York World
