We want your trade. With that object in view we will offer during the present

NEW YORK STORE
Has been in operation about three years,—from a small beginning it has grown and grown until they
have the largest cash trade of any house in West Texas. They must have a basis of honest methods.
People buy and^buyjbecause it is to their interest to buy. If there was double dealing or deceit any-
where some one would find it out, and that is the kind of story that has lightning feet. Public
confidence is at the bottom of any great business success. And confidence only comes from deserving.
All this only touches the New York Store Specialties. We don’t say these things lightly. When we
put our goods at the head of all specialties of their kind, every word comes for its full meaning. We
carry everything to be found in a general apartment. Country merchants can save money by getting
our prices. Suppose you try today, and if our values are not money saved pass them by. Our
interests are mutual.

And a good lamp
must be simple; when it is not simple it is
* not good. Simple, Beautiful, Good—these
(words mean much, but to see “The Rochester”
will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal,
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,1
it is absolutely safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s
of old, it is indeed a “wonderful lamp,” for its mar-
velous light is purer and brighter than gas light,
softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Look for this stamp—The Rochester. If the lamp dealer has n’-t the genuine
Rochester, ana the style you want, send to us for our new illustrated catalogue,
kand we will send you a lamp safely bv express—your choice of over 2.000
| varieties from the Lcrgest Lamp Store'in ike World.

“The Rochester.”
War Against Trusts.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The coal trust, as the winter
deepens, is attracting attention
even from our Republican con-
temporaries, but the coal trust is
only one of hundreds of trusts
robbing the people under the
protection of the tariff.
None of our Republican con-
temporaries has yet proposed to
go to the root of the whole matter,
and destroy these monsters by
the power of competition.
Instead, they content them-
selves with useless denunciations
and the suggestion of impractica-
ble remedies. Thus the Kansas
City Journal says:
“ Chicago has opened the fight
on the coal trust, and every State
and city in the country ought to
join in.”
To which the Chicago Tribune
responds:
“A‘combine’ of this description
will make short work of the other
one.”
But the fight amounts to little
or nothing. Two ways and only
two are open to opponents of
trusts. One is to “swear off”
and so lessen the comsumption.
But is it proposed that at this
season of the year the people
should stop using coal?
It would be very effective, but
it would destroy other things be-
sides the coal trust.
The other remedy is to open
new supplies. This may be done
in many ways, one of which, is to
put coal on the free list.
The tariff tax on bituminous
coal is 75 cents a ton; more than is
paid for mining. As the price of
bituminous coal determines that
at which it is profitable to use
anthracite coal, this tax protects
most efficiently the anthracite
coal combine. Anthracite coal is
produced chiefly in nine counties
in Pennsylvania. Its chief com-
petitor is the bituminous coal pro-
duced all over the world.
But the Republicans refuse to
put coal on the free list, because
they realize that any concession
to “free trade” endangers the
whole system. Bad as the Coal
Trust is, it is no worse than the
ax trust (45 per cent, protection),
bolt and nut trust (two and one-
fourth cents per pound protec-
tion), button trust (100 or 200 per
cent, protection), copper ingot
trust, cordage trust, crockery
trust, cotton thread trust, electric
supply trust, envelope trust, flint
glass trust, fruit jar trust, lead
trust, paper bag trust, cutlery
trust, wood pulp trust, salt trust,
starch trust, steel trust, sugar
trust and steel rail trust.
This is only a partial list of the
organized schemes for robbing
the American consumer, encour-
aged and protected by the Mc-
Kinley tariff, all of which could
be scattered in an hour by revis-
ing the tariff.
The Democrats favor this meth-
od ; the Republicans oppose it.
Remember these facts when yon
come to vote.

Young Men in Business.
Ladies’ Home Journal.
No mother need have an undue
anxiety for the success of a son
who this autumn or winter steps
out into the business world so
long as he bears in mind a few es-
sential points.
He must be honest above all
things, and allow nothing to con-
vince him that there is a compro-
mise between honesty and dishon-
esty. .
He must be an out and out be-
liever in the homely but forcible
saying that a man cannot drink
whiskey and be in business.
He must, too, decide between
being a'society man or a business
man ; he cannot be both.
He must make his life outside
the office the same as in it, and
not be possessed with the preva-
lent idea that his employer has no
business to question his move-
ments outside of office hours.
An employer has every right to
expect his employes to be res-
spectable at all times, in the office
or out of it.
He must respect other people’s
opinions, always remembering
that a young man, of all human
beings, has much to learn.
He must learn, if he would be
wise, never to argue on two ques-
tions—politics and religion.
And he must never forget that,
being born of womaD, he owes an
obligation to bis mother’s sex
which, as a loyal son and a gentle-
man, forbids him from listening,
without protest, to offensive sto-
ries in which she is concerned.
A young man cannot listen to
some of the stories which a cer-
tain class of men are fond of tell-
ing without offending his mother,
his sister, or the girl who a little
later will teach him through her
own sweet life that whatever is
said to the moral detriment of her
sex is a lie and a reflection upon
the women who, one at the begin-
ning of his life and the other at
its ending, will prove his most lov-
ing friends—his 'mother and his
wife.
How to Recover Prosperity.
The Fort Worth Gazette re-
minds the people that never was
there a period in the annals of
Texas when such prosperity
reigned throughout the state as
that which began about the fall
of 1835, and extended until the
spring of 1890. This period of
four and a half years was synchro-
nous with the Democratic admin-
istration of Grover Cleveland. It
began about six months after his
inauguration and it ended about a
year after the expiration of his
official term.
Was this a case of cause and
effect? Let the reader, who is a
Texan, form his own conclusion.
The Gazette believes it was.
For years, from 1860 up to 1888,
tbe South was distrusted in finan-
cial centers, and capital could not
be coaxed to come here. The
election of a Democratic presi-
dent soon demonstrated to the
country that the train of evils that
had been predicted to follow the
return of the South to power had
no existence. As soon as this
fear was dispelled, money began
to flow to the South, and then
began that era of marvelous pros-
perity that lasted during Clefe-
land’s administration. Then came
Harrison’s election. The force
bill soon was talked of, capital
was frightened at the thought of,
the disorders that would come
with such disastrous legislation,
and withdrew. Then prosperity
came to an end.
The same cause will bring about
the same result. Elect Grover
Cleveland again, put an end to the
talk and the thought of violent
legislation, and money will again
seek Southern investments, and
the period of 1885-’90 will be re-
peated, with all its beneficial at-
tendants.
Cleveland will bring general
prosperity to the whole South,
and the election of Clark in Texas
will supplement this general effect
locally, and give ns a revival of
business such as was never
thought of.
Which Horn?
New York World.
Every protection paradox pre-
sents a sharp-horned dilemma.
If the tariff is not a tax how can
it produce revenue ?
If taxing an article tends to
make it cheaper how does it ena-
ble the manufacturer to pay high-
er wages ?
If the tariff has raised wages,
thus adding to the cost of produc-
tion, how can prices be lower?
When the price of farm produce
went up under McKinleyism how
could the cost of living go down ?
Now that the price of foodstuffs
is going down is the cost of living
rising again ?
If our imports have increased,
as the protectionists now boast,
how has the tariff secured the
home market to our manufacturers
or protected wage earners against
the competition of pauper labor
abroad ?
If onr manufacturers can, as the
To Prevent the Grip
Or any other similar epidemic,
the blood and the whole system
should be kept in healthy condi-
tion. If you feel worn out or
have a “ tired feeling” in the morn-
ing, do not be guilty of neglect.
Give immediate attention to your-
self. Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla
to give strength, purify the blood
and-prevent disease.
Hood’s Pills cure liver ills,
jaundice, biliousness, sick head-
ache, constipation.
statistics show, produce many sta-
ple articles more cheaply than
they can be made abroad why do
they need a high tariff?
If high tariffs make high wages
why are wages in Germany and in
France so much lower than in
England ?
Finally, as we have often asked
without an answer, if the foreigner
pays the duty why did McKinley
leave the treasury so short of
money ?
These questions present sever-
al interesting dilemmas. Which
horn of them will the protection-
ists choose ?

Allow a cough to run until it gets
beyond the reach of medicine.
They say, “ Oh, it will wear away,”
but in most cases it wears them
away. Could they be induced to
try Kemp’s Balsam, which is sold
on a positive guarantee to cure,
they would see the excellent ef-
