ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES.
The MiIwaukie WisconaiL relate

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, relates
the following
"After the crash of 81, when
everybody was almost scared to
death and the croakers predicted
that the country had gone to smash,
a dry goods house was opened in this
city, which proceeded on the prin-
ciple that in order to reach the
boarded money in the pockets of the
people the proprietors must sell at
very reasonable prices and advertise
very largely. They worked vigor-
ously upon this principle. Their
brother merchants, who did not adj
vertise, predicted that the new
corners would be ruined, as they
paid too much for advertising
Nevertheless they persisted. In a
single year they paid five hundred
dollars in gold to the Daily Wiseon-
sin for advertising, and at the end of
seven years they retired from bust
moss with aforiune of one hundred
thousand dollars, while other mer-
chants on the same street, some OF
them opposite their store, had failed.
We remember similar instance
among our own advertisers in the
panic Of 1867. A merchant contin-
urcd his advertisement in our coli
umns through the whole period OF
stagnation, Notwithstanding many
predictions that sit wouldn't pay"
His testimony afterward was that
his sales were steady and his profits
satisfactory, while many q merchant
around him, "who couldn't afford to
advertise" saw his clerks standing
idle behind the counters.
A financial panic does not mean
that no one has any money. There
is plenty Of money in the country,
and those who hoard it are just the
ones 10 be eager for the bargains"
which fall in prices holds out
But to buy they must know where to
buy, and the merchant who tells
them will receive their cash. --Neso
York EUeni,g Post.
We might give numerous instan-
ces from our own experience corr
roborative of the above. Nothing
can be truer than that money spent in
judicious advertising, in proper pa
pcrs of general circulation, is at all
times good investment to the
business man whose success depends
upon quick and large sales. But If
advertising is necessary to the
business man in ordinary times, how
much more essential is it for him in
times of depression and stringency,
when stocks lay heavy on bis hands,
and quick and large sales at small
profits offer the only means Of relief
from his daily increasing embarrass-
ments. To stop advertising at such
time would be about as wise as for
the boatman to cease plying the oar
when in the turn Of the tide it is
against him The stronger the adj
verse current, the stronger should he
pull. So with the merchant who has
stocks Of goods which must be sold.
The duller tho market, the more

LOUISIANA SUGAR.

A Louisiana correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune says: Tho Sugar

The last few years, n waning one
For some reason, the sugar planters

that the fault is not 50 much IN the

INEQUALITY OF THE SHRINK
AGE

The New York World, Of the 18th
inst, publishes statement showing
the effect of the panic upon the pri-
ces of certain articles. The figures
show that raw cotton has shrunk in
price nearly twice as much as cotton
fabrics, thus proving that the South,
which had nothing to do with the
speculations which caused the reyul-
sion, to suffering most from it. The
following quotations are made: Gias-
Cow ginghams in August. l3c., in
November, lie. !; Sprague prints in
August, l04c., in November, S 3-4c.;
Merrimac prints in August, l84c., in
November, 8ac.--an average falling
off of about "a per cent. The price
of raw cotton in August was 209c.,
for middling, in November, l4c.--a
falling off Of about 434 per cent.
The above quotations Of dry goods
are those obtained at Claffin & Co.'S
great sales in New York.
These are not the relative intrinsic
values Of the commodities named, in
the markets of the world, but they
are fixed merely by the circumstan-
stances that the manufactures have
more means of protecting themselves
than the planters. The North is by
great and unwholesome odds the
wealthiest section, and its industries
have more money to back them
I'VE refer to the owners Of the manu-
featuring establishments there, not to
their operatives, who are little better
protected than the Southern plan
ters.)
Thus wa SEQ that we are entirely
at the mercy of the wild spectators
and millionaire capitalists Of the
North, and in any financial crisis
which may occur we will be as pow
erless to help ourselves as we are to-
day, until We establish direct com
mercial relations with countries not
affected by the pertubations Of our
rickety financial and commercial sys-

AN ENGLISH CAPTAINS STATE
MENT OF THE BUTcHERY-
JAMAICA, November 10.

1 OA9hAANAp AtNhStADSh AN'
Capt. Macarthur witnessed the
execution of Ryan, Verona, Jesus de
Sol, and Pedro Cespedes, and gives
the following account: On the
morning on the 9th they were re-
moved TO the place of execution,
about a mile from the Jail. The four
victims were surrounded by strong
escort of Spanish soldiers. Verona
and Ryan were calm and collected,
and marched amidst the yells and vo>
alterations Of the Infatuated Spanish
rabble. Arrived at the place of
execution. Cespedcs and Jesus de
Sol were forced to kneel, in which
position they were shot in the back.
The soldiers next directed Ryan and
Verona to kneel in the same way,
but they refused, and were hand
cuffed all the time.
The two victims begged their
tormentors to allow them to die
standing, and having offered further
resistance they were murdered stan
ding. Ryan was not instantly killed,
A Spanish officer stepped forward
and thrust his
SWORD THROUGH RYAN's HEART.
Verona died easily. Then down
came upon the still warm corpses
the bloodthirsty mob, who severed
the heads from the bodies, placed
them On pixies, and marched them
through the city.
Fifteen officers of the Spanish
army, who had been made prisoners
| on the battle field by Verona, were
present when he landed, and they
| went to the Governor Of the city and
begged that his life should be spared
since he had given them theirs.
This was refused. The foreign
vessels at Santiago were prevented
from leaving in order to step the
circulation Of the news. The Span
iards took possession Of the telegraph
and would not allow any person to
communicate through shem--not
even foreign consuls.
The American vice consul on
hearing that Ryan was to be shot
| waited upon the Governor and de-
| manded his restoration as an Ameri-
can citizen, but the Governor re-
fused to listen on the ground that
the counsel was not well informed in
regard to the matter. The Spaniards
informed the consul that they were
ACTING ON THEIR OWN REGPoN-
SIBILITY,
and did not even intend communi-
eating with tho Madrid government.
Among the Cuban captives was
son Of Gen. Quesada, aged l6. and
two boys IL and 10 years old
There were also twelve Jamaicans
on board the Virginius, two of whom
were boys OF IL years.
