It wait a true ml nj;e true of almost everything and is leclally true of newspaper thitt ac iiulre ttio habit of RivitiK away space In order to "Join the procession." At the cheap rates for sce given by oth or paper the Sunday Ardmoreite could put on 20 jinxes of solid advertising. It Ik an excellent thing bocauso a lnreosary tliliiff for you to feel a burning enthusiasm about that store, or other husiucMK venture of yours. Hut you must not lit! it "prospector." The people subscribe and pay for a paper to get tho local and foreign telegraphic news, rather than show bills of the cheap vurlety. One inch of advertising; planned aright, written aright and placed aright la worth 20 iuuhoH In mediums havhiK doubtful circulation. A merchant has too much lit stake to waste, or Imperil, his am munition by shooting at random or using doubtful mediums. As to The Anlniorulto'H circulation, we don't ar Ktiethat. Hut It's read by a multitude who do not yet know of other newspa per ventured in Ardmore. This paper Is 13 years old and has driven one wedge alter nnothur to build up a solid, pay ing, bona lido lint of readers. It has made n succes. So, to act upon this truth, why hesitate In the selection ol jour advertising medium. The output of jour money for advertising In The Ardmoroito will ! very gratifying to yon.

That Is, It is a talr in which tho people of the whole stnto of Texan, without regard to section ilisplay a soiiro of proprietorship and a jaudahlo pride. Jlr. Itoosovolt Is doing his best to otiuoclul Ilryan. He wants an Inherit unco tax and nn Income tax and a 'strongly centralized government, which l socialising Ideal government. Thoro is a difference, however. .Mr. Itoosovolt had, railroad regulation ideas, but he luiU.them down when tho pinch oamo. JlPilmd a lot ol tariff reform Ideas, but ho laid them down, too wh'ri the jjinch came. The greatest Republican a.-sci is flat logic, and flat logic In as worth less us flat currency. The SHtonWilhg development of th printing press and means of distrib uting knowledge has wonderfully en lightened the American people. Their productive power has ben. Increased ten-fold. Their ability to create ma chines for the accomplishment of any puriiose has been marvelous. A sheet of ateel Is run through a ma chine like lightning and comes out carpet tacks. The productive power of the American ieople In every line has been Increased by airmilng strides, due to modern Invention in part, but due above all to the Increased Intel Ugnce of the people, due to the print ing press. The knowledge of one be comes Immediately the poaaemloa of the whole American world, and we are all enriched by the discovery of a new principle, a new art. or a new device, by our humblest cltlien. A fw years since the telephone was but a plaything, and was regarded as a toy. It now constitute a system ot nerves for the body politic- dissemina ting Intelligence Instantly from one end of the country to the otlivr Since the war these Inventions have led to railways, covering our country like a spider web, so that transporta tion Is available In every part of tho nation. Due to these things the pro ductive power of the American people has grown by gigantic strides. The Kupublloan party claims that the prositerity of the nation is not duo to the increased means of intelli gence of the jieople, the means of disseminating knowledge, or the ex istence of quick transiortatloii. nor to the great modern Inventions which produce enormous volumes of goods, but that It is all due to the protective tariff, which pre- ' free commercial Intercourse between the people of the United States ami the people of other lands. The Kemiblicans really believe that the more obstacles that are ostab 1 bilied between the American people and other people, civilized and unciv ilized, cf the world, tho better for the American people. And they Inslat that having ostabllshod the artificial barrier of a protective tariff has real ly been the cause of our modern pros-IK-rlty. It Is true that the English people, who have free trade, have pros pered and grown enormously; that their production. In like manner, has increased enormously, evtn under a monarch. Hut this counts for naught. The greatest asset of the Republican imriy Is the claim that every I'rovl- lence of God hi due to their absurd and unjust teachings, when. In point of fact. It Is perfectly obvious that the enormous crops raised In tho United Stat", and the great volume of articles manufactured by our mod ern mechanical devices, would be Just tho same If the Republican jiarty, or tho Democratic party for that matter. had nevor been born. Tho only effect upon tho great prosperity of 'the Am erican people, of the tariff and Its offspring, tho trusts, wjilch have been established under it, Is to put in the hand! of a few tho larger part of Up values produced. The Republican policy has allowed Mr. Carneglo to collect live hundred millions of dollars from the Ameri can consumers, and allowed Mr. Rockefeller to collect v. thousand mil lions from the American consumers, Instead of leaving tho product of Am erican liberty In the liandB 01 the men who really produced It. oo A CONSTITUTIONAL TARIFF. The constitutional power to estab lish a tariff is as follows: "C'ongrosh shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, Imports and excises, to pay the debts and provide fur the common defense and general woiraro of tho Hulled States.'' If cungrusB Inys n tax with no tn l out Ion to collect It, it Is not only illegal, but it Is Immoral. It is a fraud upon thoso whom it taxes un justly. Mr. Carnoglo has collected from the jwople, for his own une. live hundred millions of dollars, that tho government lsl In taxes not for tho public troasury but for Mr. Carnegie. It was never Intended that those taxes should bo collected at the ciiBtom houses and put Into the public troasury, but It was Intended that Carnegie should collect them in hl counting room and deposit them In his lnk. Mr. Carnoglo being a bonovo lout man by tho grace of Clod, now says to the whole world. "It Is a shame to take the morcy." and It real y trying to give It back, being utter ly unable to upend It before he d'ea or oven the Income of it. Tho Ameri can people, from whom this money was wrd;igrul!y taken, are converted Into beggars, and pray Mr. Carnefe"? bounty, aftir having permitted M.

Can't Swallow the Candidate and the Platform. The Ardmorolte was visited today by a negro from the 101th district. This negro Is In point tf intelligence far above the average and his discus sion of political matters Is very inter eA'ing. He says the Republicans, re lying uiion Uie colored vote, are claim ing that district, but he says that a large number of the colored voters can be Induced to voto with the Dem ocrats. Tho Hopubllcan candidate, ne pays, is running upon a platform de manding separato coaches, etc., which Is very obnoxious to the negroes. The Republican candidate is an Indian and there are few things held In common between the nogiocs and Indians and the nogro will hesitate a long tun before ho votes his ticket Novembrr Oth. The Demc-cratlc party Is open and above bonrd In Its declarations, th- negro known tho policies of the part) while tho Republicans put out different platforms In different districts and the negro cannot determine whim wing will prevail In the gene I councils ot the party.
