Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of
New York. explains some very interesting
facts abont Major, Cement.
The mu' uttes who use this standard ar
ticle know hat it is lnnny hundred per
cent, better than other dement's for which
similar claims are mtde. but II great ninny
do not know why The simple reason Is
thar Mr.. MAJ or uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too en-
pensive and do not allow large profits; Mr.
Major tells Us that one of the elements'O of
his cement costs - IS n pound. and an
other costs 1866 u gallon. while u large
glue upon the market are nothing more
than sixteen-cent glue. dissolved i'll water
or citric acid, and in some cases. altered
slightly IN color aud odor by he addition
of cheap nnd useless materials. - :,
MAJORS cement retailS ut fifteen and
twenty-five cents u bottle. and when
dealer tries to sell u substitute you can de-
pend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit. ..
The profit on Majors cement is as much
rs any dealer ought to make ON any cement.
And this is dOubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 IL month. throughout
the country. Est ablished in 1876.

The Louisville Courier Journal
finds in the figures Of the Maine
election the same purport of those of
Vermont. 1t says:
SIT is true that the Republican
majoritics in Vermont aud Maine
are still sufficiently large. They are
larger than they were i'll some years
when the Democrats were successful.
Hence it is not seriously conlcndcd
that the slumps in Maine and Yer
mont prove that the Republicans are
going to be defeated in November.
But they do show, according to the
precedents, that the drift OF public
sentin is against the Republicans
as compared with four Years ago,
and decidedly so. This is the lesson
of the two elections, and it seems
useless to deny it,
