work.
"We are using the classified adyertis-
ing system. and believe that for muni-
cipality, unless it has very large sum
with which to buy advertising space
this is the best method. Although As
toria's advertising has only been in
operation, to be exact, four months on
the third day Of November, yet it has
been tested to such an extent that it
may reasonably be claimed successful,

Republican Promises.

How slightly the Republicans re-
gard platform promises or how quick
ly they change front, when the neces-
stiles of political campaigns urge them
to become opportunities is easily prov
en-. In 1880 with the fear of the peo-
pie drilled into them by the election
of a Democratic congress the Repub-
ilican party in its national platform de-
clared that: Further subsidies to
private persons or corporations must
cease" That acknowledgement of
having granted subsidies to persons
or corporations and promising to dis
continue such %plundering of the peo-
pie did not deter the party from four
years later entering on the plan of
ship subsidy and attempting to carry
it out. In 1880 the scare of the Tilden
campaign had made the Republican
politicians careful of the interests of
the people and the election of a Dem
ocratic president in 1884 showed their
fears were we'll founded. But after
1896, with the trusts and combines
still filling the campaign chest, as
they had already done in that cam
paign Of corruption, all their fears
were banished and the policy of a ship
subsidy was used as a further incen-
tive for more campaign funds. But,
thanks to the Democrats and a few
honest Republicans, the dream of max
ing the people pay a subsidy to the
ship owners is still a Pigment of the
brains that conceived it.
