It is still in doubt , as to whethei
America is for Americans or for the
other fellows. Perhaps it is.
A tremendous blow has been struck
at the democratic party in New Jersej
by the decision of the court of errors
and appeals sustaining the high license
and county option law , which was pass
ed last winter by a republican legislature
against solid democratic opposition and
over the veto tt a democratic governor ,
Henry Watterson said : "The demo
crat who is not a free trader should gc
elsewhere. " When did Henry Watterson
say that ? Why just before the Oregon
election. Since that halcyon and inter
esting event Henry , like the rest of the
free traders , has been a little close
mouthed on the subject of free trade.
The coils of the lumber trust arc
tightening in tli3 northwest by which the
people of Nebraska and other states will
be squeezed. A combination of all the
principal lumber interests of Minnesota
and Wisconsin has been effected , backed
by a capital of sixty millions of dollars.
When the plans of this syndicate are
perfected , every foot of lumber sent to
this state will be controlled by the trust.
The prospect is far from pleasing.
The stream of visitors which has been
pouring in upon Gen. Harrison ever
since his nomination by the Chicago con
vention is still unabated. The popularity
of this man whom the democrats delight
to describe as an "obscure grandson * ' is
something wonderful. After Nov. G , he
is destined to be the most prominent man
in the world as the head of the greatest
nation on earth. And he is well fitted to
occupy the eminence upon which he is ( o
be placed.
Mr. Blaine returns to America
stronger than ever in his adherence to
republicanism. During his perigvina-
tions abroad he has had excellent op
portunities for studying the American
political book through European glasses.
The simple fact that England looks up
on the democratic party as her friend
and free trade as beneficial to her in
dustries is a convincing argument that
the republican party and protection are
for America alone.
A Democratic organ down in the
solid South , with its products fully pio-
tected by "the robber taiiff , " pleads
with its Northern Democratic brethren ,
"to stand by the Mills bill , " and plain
tively adds , "it onl } reduces the taiiff 5
per cent , and that ain 't much free
trade. " The organ fails to explain how
southern staples are left amply protect
ed so as to keep up the average per
cent , and the great staples of the north
left wholly unprotected.
Custom and courtesy demand that
Mr. Cleveland , who was first nominated ,
shall give his letter of acceptance to
the country before General Harrison
shall give his. lie has , however , delay
ed much longer than has been the case
heretofore , and evidently with a deter
mination to wait until the Republican
side shall have been heard from , in order
that the last word shall be his. There
is a lack of dignity in this sort of ' 'cheap
John" statesmanship that no man in
the Presidential chairprior to Mr. Cleve
land's day , would have been guilty of.
ANOTHER shock awaits the American
wheat grower and miller. Another era in
phantom has materialized. Another
' 'eranary of the world" is announced.
This time it is the valleys of the Congo ,
interior Africa. As usual , the new
"granary of the world" is more fertile
than all the lest of the earth , its water
ways are the finest , its climate is the
most heavenly , and it is able to turn
out at least 999,000,000,000,000,000 , -
000,000 bushels of wheat so excellent
that , when Congo wheat becomes know ,
ordinary Dakota and Minnesota wheats ,
now known as the best on earth , will be
relegated to the station of hog-feed and
ornamental grasses. Welcome the
"granary of the world ! * ' Adieu Chili ,
Argentine Republic , Australia and In
dia ! All aboard for Congo !
Their Business Booming.
Probably no one thinghas caused such a
general revival of trade at A.McMillen'sdrug
store as'their giving away to their customers
of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs , colds , asthma , bronchi
tis , croup and all throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it boforo buying
by getting n trial bottle free , large sizo $1.
Every bottle warranted.

Have You Any Idea What It Costs
TO MAKE A CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ?
Yottr haverft ? Well let us give you just a glimpse into the 6usiiess , perhaps it will
iiterest yozt.
To bsgifi with , the work of the paper is divided into Seveiteen Different Deparlmeits ,
each under its own responsible Superintendent. Let us take then in order as
they stand on the weekly pay-roll : M
i. The Editorial Department. This includes managing
editors , city editors , telegraph editors , exchange
editors , editorial writers , special writers , and about
thirty reporters. The Daily News staff is
admittedly without a superior in the West , and
numbers 56
2. The Telegraph Room. To save time special wires are
run into The Dally News building , and the
paper's own operators take the messages and hand
them immediately to tho telegraph editor. The
number of operators is 3
3. The Compositor's Room. When "copy" has passed
i the hands of the proper revising editor it goes to
the type-setter. There are a good many of him in
The Daily News office on an average . . 73
4. The Linotype Room. But the compositor doesn't do
all the type-setting. The "Linotype" machine
"sets type" by casting a-line-of-type , on somewhat
the same principle as the type-founder casts a
single type. Fourteen of these machines are in use
in The Daily News office , and the number of
persons required in this department is . . . . 29
5. The Artists' and Engravers' Department. But the
metropolitan daily now gives its readers not only
reading matter , but also illustrations. By the aid
of good artists , zinc etchers and photography by
electric light The Daily News is now printing
the best newspaper illustrations in America. , This
takes the best service of Bkilled workers to the
number of 7
6. The Stereotype Foundry . The matter type and pic
tures being now "locked up" in the "forms" the
work is next transferred to the foundry. A metro
politan daily no longer prints from its type. In
order to print a large edition quickly it is neces
sary to multiply the printing surfaces , and this is
accomplished by casting duplicate stereotyped
plates , from which , after they have been fastened
to the presses , the printing is done. Of stereo
types The Daily News requires 8
7. The Press Room. The Daily News uses six double
perfecting presses , capable of printing 100,000 com
plete papers per hour. To run these there are
required men to the number of 26

machines and 500 lamps. The employes of this 19

department to develop the market for it. The 9
average number of workers is 16 V

And the pay roll runs from $5,500 to $6,000 per week , aggre- 9
gating during the year $300,000. j9
Then there is even a larger annual expenditure for white 49
paper , and telegraph and cable tolls sometimes run j9
nearly a thousand dollars a week. Take it all f9
together the expenditures of The Daily News for |
the year 1888 will vary very little from $900,000. 19
j The foregoing takes no account of the special correspondents at hundreds of places throughout the country ; of European < | 9
correspondents ; of fifteen hundred news agents throughout the Northwest who distribute The Daily News to its out of town < 9
readers ; of two hundred city carriers ; of forty-two wholesale city dealers with their horse3 and wagons ; of one hundred |
and fifty branch advertisement offices throughout the city , all connected ivith the main office by telephone , nor of the about j9
three thousand newsboys who make a living , in whole or in part , selling The Daily News in Chicago. This is what it costs jfl
the publisher to make a Chicago Daily News. It costs the reader to buy it one cent a day. Measured by the cost of its |
production , The Daily News is worth its price , isn't itf The Chicago Daily News is sold by all newsdealers , or will be |
mailed , postage paid , for $3.00 per year , or 25 cents per month. Address | 9
