Corporations, which are the the law, can be controlied to a certain extent, but regulation by custom and public senti- ment, alike applicable to individua's as well a8 to corporations, would seem to be more effe tive in the long run. ‘The trend of the times is in the right direction, and while laws may facilitate the accomplishment of right results sometimes they are more speedily produced ason rather than to law—to agitation rather than to legislation. he dignity of labor can best be preserved by insisting that labor shall be better com- pensated. Increased compensation will fur- nish greater facilities for education, more com- fortable homes, more contented families and better opportuniti to tend to develop nobler aims and purposes on the part of the workingmen, greater interest in the peace and prosperity’ of the state and higher ideas of citizenship. “Poverty ix one great source of discontent. Overwork, poorly compensated, is another. “Let me add another suggestion right here. Let ts be reasonable in our clamor for cheap things. It ix natural that we should desire to obti whatever we need at fair rates, but we should be careful not to insist upon prices so moderate that the interests of iabor will be jeopardized. “To live and let live’ is « good motto, which may be safely followed in all pur- suits.’ Do not insist upon a newspaper so cheap that the proprietors are unable to pay a {air compensution to the printers who set the type, and with the reporters and editors who farnish the copy. We expect cheap transportation, the engineers, firemen, brakemen, switehn trackmen and other laborers connected the operation of railroads should be well paid, and while exorbitant rates should not be per- mitted to be demanded for the transportation by an appeal to re fied to allow ample charges to be collected. “I was going to suggest that something should aiso be reserved for the directors, but upon retlection I think the directors will look out for themselves.

He had addressed from 25,000 to 40,000 people during the week and declared that the republicans were more entiusiastic than ever before during a state campaign.

A special correspondence of the Associated Press in London gives what purports to bea carefully prepared statement of the effect of the McKinley tariffon our trade with Great Britain. In the first three months of the pres- ent year there was an increase of British ex- ports to the United States over the exports in corresponding months of 1890. The increase was from $45,828,724 to over $46,000,000. From certain places there has been a falling off: from others an increase. London shows a decrease of $2,000,000 in the period named. This was in spite of large increases in tin plate, wool, hemp, flax, tow and chemicals. Ameri- cang having up to July last bought a year's supply of tin plate in advance, Liverpool ex- porters of tinplate say they can stand a year of slack trade. Tin plate is still sold freely, however, to the Standard Oil Company, which pays little duty on tin plate, getting a drawback of 99 per cent on the tin cans it exports. The English expect the tariff on this article to be reduced in the near future. At present the Welsh tin-plate | works are working to their full capacity, hav- ing plenty of orders. Scrap steel used to go from Scotland to New England, but the McKinley tariff killed that suppply of New England raw material. sto the effect on textiles, confident opin- ions are expressed only in’ respect to. the cheaper. grades of goods, such as the poor buy. ‘The cheap grades are effectually shut out of the American market. Lace and linen can jump the higher tariff wall. So also, it is believed, can carpets, owing to the better Scotch workmanship and designs. Cheap grades of cutlery are shut cat, so that Sheffield suffers in thai line, but hig. priced articles are little effected. Sheftield makers say that the best American cutlery continues to be far inferior to theirs. ‘Manchester makes no comp! by our new turiff. Leeds manufacturers were depressed at the beginning of the year, but they are all right now. The class of Leeds goods the turiff ehuts out is the cheap grade the poor ought. According to Bradford manufacturers th effect of the tariff upon exports of utuif good: worsted coatings and seals and plushes to the states has so far proved even inore prejudicial to the Bradford trade than was anticipated. Dundee manufacturers of linen have been Hon. John C. New, United states consul gen- eral at London, says that the importation of tin plate into the United States has doubled and unmanufsctured wools have largely in- creased. Hemp and flax, with a decreased duty, have doubled, and drugs, also with a de- creased duty, have nearly doubled, while the exports of sich goods as silks, fine worsted dress goods, fine woolen, camel und goat-hair goods Lave fallen off. o—_____ New York Colored Voters’ Request.

And the wider the publicity the better, other things being equal. He might just as well put the money, he pays for advertising into an old stock- ‘ng end bury it in the back yard as to | Print bis inducements where they will not be seen by the particular people whose attention be aims to attract. What he Should use, therefore, is THE NEWSPA- PER THAT IS READ BY THE LARGEST ‘UMBER OF PERSONS LIKELY TO WANT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER. Mere EXTENT of circulation does not always insure the kind of publicity required by the advertiser. It is the QUALITY of cir culation that telis,as well as its extent That, indeed, is the vital factor in the problem the advertiser nas to solve. Sen- sational and scandalous cess-pool jour- nals, that are chiefly circulated in the slums of a city, and read by the riff-raff of the town, may and often do have «very considerable circulation, as the number of copies printed and handled indicate, but ‘they are merely glanced at to see whether the new scandal is worse than the old one, and then tossed into the gutters, where they belong. They are consequently worth nothing to the men or women whose «im i#to reach reputable and responsible peo- ple with such business announcements as they may desire to make. Vhat is needed in such @ case is an en- ising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- in edited FAMILY newspaper,—one ‘Uhat cansafely be put in any hands, whose contents tell tne whole world’s news story of today, (not of last week or yesterday) | and which 1s eagerly and profitably read from beginning to end every day by every member of the household, from its dual head down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies and children ofthe family. Such a journal is THE EVENING STAR. It has both EXTENT and QUALITY of Circulation within the field it occupies in ® greater Cegree than any other paper ia the world. In these respects it is abso- lutely without @ rival, anywhere, and there is no paper in Washington worth talking about in comparison with it. In ‘Verification of this claim, LOOK AT THE FIGURES: For the six months ending with the 30tb of June last THE STAR'S average daily circulation was 34,064. For s populs- tion of 250,000 this aggregate is some- thing phenomenal, even where the city of publication is surrounded by prosperous @nd populous villages end thickly settled agricultural districts, as most places of that size are. lm this respect, however, Washington difters from other cities. She ie practically isolated, having few outly- ing towns subordinate to her or identified with her interests. The circulation of | THE STAR 1s, consequently, almost en- trely a HOME CIRCULATION, with a larger percentage of the whole output | regularly delivered by carriers at the res- idence of permenent subscribers within the city where printed than any other Paper that can be named, no matter im ‘what city or country the same may be printed. This is demonstrated by the fol- lowing daily average UNPARALLELED SHOWING: Served by carriers in the city, - - 23,377 Miscellaneous sales, over coun- ter, by news stands, news-boys, ee, - - - + + + + 9273 By mail to outlying points, - + - 1,415 Total - - - - = ~- 34,066 There is no mistake or misstatement bout these figures. They are substan- tusted under the solemn obligations of an oath, and they may be further veritied by an examination of the books of the office and inspection of its press and delivery rooms on the part of any person having interest in the correctness of the exhibit. Few newspapers are willing to submit to so trying an ordeal. But THE STAB does it cheerfully. 1t has nothing to con- ceal, and no motive for exaggeration. Tha truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is its business motto. As THE STAR im- sists on its right to know how many pounds of ink it gets when it buys a barrel of that article,and how many poundsof paper it pays for in one of the immense rolls delivered at its press rooms, so it is willing that ite advertising patrons shall know exactly HOW MUCH and WEAT KIND of publicity they are getting when they put an announcement in its columns. It claims to be THE one Washington pa- per that is taken by the family, for the family, and read by the family, and es pec:ally by all the people in the city who ‘want things and are able to pay for them, and it 1s willing to have its claims sub- Jected to the most exhaustive and conciu- sive tests thet can be devised. In other ‘words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS THE WHOLE FIELD. ITS FAMILY CIR- CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THREE TIMES 48 LARGE 48 THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF ITS READERS IN THE CITY 18 FIVB TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER. ‘These are the qualities that constitute “Values in Advertising,” and make THE EVENING STAR en unequalled business bal =
