Republican Opinion of the Porto
Rican Tariff.

ssBe it resolved by the house, the
senate concuring,
THAT the people of Iowa are I'M
alterably opposed to the establishment
of any tariff duties between the
United States and any territory
acquired as result of the Spanish
American war, the people of which
accepted the sovereignty of this
government without resistance and
voluntarily passed under the jurisdic-
ton OF its constitution and laws.
Adopted by the legislature in the
House by unanimous vote.
1t is well to have an abundance of
clearcut expressions like that of the
Iowa house of representatives in order
that congress may have no excuse for
going wrong in this matter. The drift
of popular opinion should be made
manifest in order that it may have its
influence at Washington.- Chicago

The adoption by a unanimous vote
in the lower house of the Iowa legis-

Porto Rican tariff and the probable
ratification of the action by the upper
house will very forcibly impress west

public sentiment on this question:

A Sermon on ADVERTISING.

Last year several Cresco merchants
went into an advertising scheme, expect
ing to reap reward commensurate with
their expense. They issued Rand & Nc.
Nally atlas checks with all sales made
at their stores, and redeemed them, after
each purchaser had secured a certain
number of dollars worth, with fine at
las worth about $3.
These merchants expected to attract
sufficient new patrons to warrant them
in this expenditure; but as a number of
dealers in the same wares were engaged
in the same scheme, there was no neces-
sity for purchasers to change their place
of trading. II only one store in the
town had issued atlas checks there
might have been profit to the proprietor.
One of the leading merchants who went
into the "check" business states that his
firm lost outright by this advertising
scheme more than $500, and other mer.
chants claim that there was loss instead
of gain in it.
The ZINES desires to say word to
these business men who get caught by
such transient futile schemes for adyer.
Using and to those who are SO ready to
give an ad to any and all sorts of tenn
porary program, pamphlet or poster en-.
terprise for which they are solicited.
Gentlemen, plant your advertisements
In the newspapers where they may be
referred to every week. Make yearly
contract with the editors aud tell the
public through their columns every
week the special articles suited to the
season and service that you have to sell.
1t will not cost you $500 per year and
you will not say. at the end of the year,
as those Of you who issued checks now
say, that it did. not add one dollar to
your receipts. The newspapers are the
best business friends any town can have.
What would Cresco have been today if
there had been no papers printed here.
What sort of gratitude is it that prompts
business men to seek every other avenue
in which to advertise and ignore their
best friends.
There is no business IN the town that
promotes its financial Importance so
much or that gives SO much in gratui-
tous contributions as the local press. If
there is any public or private enterprise
projected, the very first thing done is 10
rush off to the printing offices and get a
few free locals into the papers, then
when the editors have paid help and
bought paper, ink, type and machinery,
paid for rent, fuel and light to do this
gratuitous work for every society, relig-
ious, social and benevolent in the COM
munity, many of the persons granted re-
peated favors of this class by editors
will give every ipenny's worth of their
advertising to some scheme that never
benefited themfor the community one
lota. Is this f4ir? Is it business like?

Had Salisbury been reader of the
republican papers of this country and
needed the denials of Secretary Gage
and Hay, he would not have apologized
for opening by the British censor at
Durham of mail addressed to Consul
Chas. e. Macrum at Pretoria. All
these authorities deny that it was SO
opened. Why should Salisbury apollo
gize for something that did not occur?
Perhaps If the administration had
permitted Macrum to have made a
report all these mistakes might have
been avoided.

A New Thermometer.
Arthur Belts. United States volun

Arthur Belts, United States volunteer

and the 1000 degree mark being the
point at which mercury boils. Mercury
freezes at 36 degrees below zero, Fahren.

the new thermometer are that it regis
