AFEw REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Is THE BEST.

10 1uE DEDI.
1t is made on the best principle. while the foreign
watch is generally made Oh no principle at all. The
foreign watch Is mostly made by women and boys,
BY YHAND.I While their labor is cheap, their work is
dear at any price. Such watches are made without
plan and sold without guarantee. they are irregu-
lar in construction, and quite irregular in move
ment They are designed only to sell, and the buyer
is the party most thoroughly sold. Those who have
kept 'ancres, "lepines" and "Swss levers" in pro
fessed repair for few years will appreciate the truth
Of our statement.
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made of several hundred little
pieces. screwed together, the body of the erican
watch is formed Of SOLID PLATES. No jar inter-
feres with the harmony of its working, and no sud-,
den shock can throw its machinery out of gear. I'M
riding any business pursuit. it all held together
as firmly as single piece of metal 1t is just what
all machinery should be-: "a Qk,t u "a .A.8A
LIST. ACCURATE. I'd. SIMPLE. Sd. STRONG.
4th. ECONOMICAL.
We notonly secure CHEAPNESS by our systsfi,g
but QUALITY. Wedo not pretend that our W atch
can be bought for less money than the foreign make
6eeces but that for its real value it is sold for one
half the price, s,-,nbg 7s.5r = "A "a ,5S
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH (named VIM. EllcfO
is what its Lame indicates-Solid Substantial ami
always sReliable-warranted to stand any amount Of
Marching, Riding or Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH

appearance, hut has more Jewels, and more elabor-
ate finish. \ IL. ~, 30, ~ 'p -'If9V
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought out. is

THE PROOF of the merits of our Watcb may bc-
found in the fact that we now employ over seven
hundred ,workmen in our factories and hat we are
still unable to supply the constantly ihcreasingd de

IHE RECENT CHANGES IN THE MONEY MAR
KEr.-The Commercial and Financial Chroui-
Gle, for last week, has q leading paper on the
"Sensitiveness of the Money. Market. y
which alludes to the two spasms that have
been experienced in the money market from
the forgeries of Ketchum, and the retention
| of eighty millions of currency in the vaults
of sthe Treasury; both of which have been
succeeded by n relaxation so sudden as to
excite apprehensions of some special forces
brought to bear from the Treasury Depart
ment
1hls suggests, among other things, the
extent to which an iIredeemable currency
has enlarged the area Of Government infiu-
ence in financial affairs. Seldom in the
history OF nations has any individual states
man been entrusted with greater power in
time OF peace than is at this moment welded
by tie Secretary of the Treasury. He con
expand or contract the currency, and can
produce results which thrill in every nerve
and fibre of the body polite
The business facilities of the nation its
means Of growth and subsistence it's trade,
Its agriculture and commerce., everything
which HAS made it rich and great, are now
connected by throbbing sympathies with
the pulsations- of the. National Treasury.
Ine change from tightness to ease has been
so sudden tnat it awakes no small soicitude.
and suggests tho inquiry whether it is not a
nero temporary lulu in the storm, to be fol-
lowed by more furious outbreak hereaftey.
The opinions of financial authorities seem
to be at varianceeon this subjecx, and we
have cause to apprehend more or less of
spasmodic disturbance in financial opera

Instincts of Men.

One of the great but secret causes of
human failure and perversion, is the re
luctance of men to recognize their in.
stncts. The pride of intellect is not will

reason, and we begin the work of self
sophistication on the very threshold Of
existence. Of the simplest obiec.s we

own providence than our own feelings aud
health, our own righs and interests. our
own spiritual nature aud r.ii o1i Yet all
these coucerns which can be attended to
by nobody half so properly as by our
selves, we studiously put out of our own
control. Hence, our lawyer can give It's

thing in the world is 50 easy of attainment
as food, health, justice and rel. ZION, if we
will only, with common honesty and dill
