So far as politics are concerned, it
can safely be said that FROM now on
they will be less and less disturb
ing factor, says the Wall Street Re-
view The politicians are learning
that arrangement of business is apt
TO injure their own political fortunes.
The west has turned its back upon
politics most emphatically, and the
east is not likely TO be slow in fol-
lowing this wholesome example. For
this reason, if for no other, it is like
ly that the tariff question, to which
business is most sensitive, will be
handled cautiously. Whichever party
succeeds in the next election, no radi-
cal changes need be anticipated, al
though some reductions will newt
ably be made in excessive rates.

WHO is FALLING FOR 1T?

OF the ways, means and methods
calculated to secure free advertising
there is no end The editorial mail OF
mornings is an object lesson of such
enterprise. From the little fellow to
the corporation big enough to classify
as trust come shrewd literary at
tenpts at profitable publicity to be Sc
cured without money and without
price. No railway conductor must
guard his train more carefully than
the newspaper editor against these
hobces OF publicity No cashier must
be more careful of his till against
sneak thieves than the newspaper pub
Usher who must keep an ever watch
full eye on the dips" and guns Of
publicity. these porch climbers and
con" men of advertising. says the
Marshalltown Times Republican.
That these ad grafteFs should so
brazenly approach and panhandle the
newspapers is not only Insult TO the
intelligence of newspaper men but &C
cusation also Certainly the process
would be dropped If it failed to get re-
suits. The answer is that there must
exist sufficient number Of easy
marks to support by free publicity the
news bureaus and 'newr syndi-
Gates which pay postage and hire
writer's TO graft advertising.
1t is probable that those who en-
ploy and pay these bureaus and press
agents could get In legitimate way
twice as much as they are getting
now for the same money But the
pleasant idea and strong desire of get
ting something for nothing is staple
ia its attractiveness. 1t impels the
corporation toward the advertising
panhandle as It draws the unsophisti-
Gated youth to send 1893 for a solid
gold timekeeper.'
How many newspapers in Iowa are
