JJ B JIBB BJI BIBbbmbWb bbWbIbbmb bWb bbmIb b b bWb " 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.

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 We are agents for the following reliable j companies. Note date of organi- I zatio. 'i and splendid assets : j ! JStna of Hartford.

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.
