SILVER AND CURRENCY,
Probable Effect of the Silver-COin Sec,
tiOn Of the Pending Finance Bill.

Mr.. e. B. Elliott, of the Bureau of
Statistics, has been making some careful
computation to-day to ascertain the rela-
tive value of United States silver coin
and fractional currency, in order to de-
termine how great an appreciation of
the latter will be necessary to make both
OF equal value, and consequently to as
certain whether the silver-coin portion
.of the new Currency Bill is likely to re-
suit as its authors nominally desire. His
chain of reasonings and its results are as
follows: .- Ha.... ..-s.r
"Phe United States Mint ratio of gold
to silver is IA 954-1 900 to l. The mar
ket ratio of gold to silver, as shown by
the latest quotations in London, is as Is
3-l0 to 1. Therefore the market ratio
OF gold to silver in London is to the
United States Mint ratio of goldtosilver
as l6 3-l0 is to IA 954-1 900; or as 109 to
100. In other words, the silver price of
gold is, in the language of the street,
lO9. But the average currency price of
gold in the New York market for some
time past has been about Ill 1-9. Di-
viding the latter by the former gives
194-l, 900, the currency price of silver.
In other words, 81 in silver is now
worth 81 Oh 94-100; or, in popular
phrase, silver is now worth not quite 2
per cent. premium in currency" .W
1t will be observed that these calcula-
tons are based upon the market value Of
silver in London, and not in New York
Mr.. Elliott considers this much preferable
to computations based upon the value Of
silver in New York. If any large move
ment of silver was to take place it would
be governed by the London market. The
quotations in New York are for small
Mr.. Elliott thinks that
there is reason to hope that the differ
ence between paper and silver in this
country may be reduced to nothing by

FRIENDS AND CITIZENS .-1874, witt
its marked vicissitudes- nationally, com
mercially and socially-will soon be
numbered in the ranks of by-gone ages,
and to the rejecting and discriminating
mind, it has, indeed left legacy OF
many wide and inviting themes for fu-
tTe deliberation. Since our last
"Gladly hailed christmas appeared"
our prestige as nation-our time hon
ored institutions land our future pros
poets as people, have been jealously
guarded and preserved in tact, while
peace and prosperity have reigned with
in the borders of at least our own State
we have, as community, ample
to be grateful for. Even the effects of
late disastrous panic are dying out, and
within the prescribed limits Of our couh-
ty much improved era has dawned. AS
one of your oldest tradesmen-indeed 1
may say a pioneer settler-few have
more closely watched the accidents OF
time in our own midst, and equally few
more appreciate our advancement in the
present as oomparedwith the old days.
From my earliest associations with Ere
mont and its generousinhabitants, Imay
fairly assert my experience as one of the
utmost satisfaction down to the present

liberal support of an appfeeiative com

we approach you on the advent Of the
seventeenth year of our house and the
eighth year Of our united proprietorship
with yet another Happy New Year"
salutation. Being already so old estab-

cessity remains for remindingyou of our
business or its reliable character, but
anxious to congratulate you, in common
with others, we do so in the full assUr-

to be second to none, while our hearse is
probably the most elaborate and costly
in the State. We have never sought by
sudden impulses to run our business,
but have steadily increased our oonnec-

engagements. We make no vaunted
boast OF pretensions, but on our past re

10 THE LADIES OF FREMONT AND SAN
DUsKY COUNTY Generally. While 9th
ers salute the public with that friendly
greeting of ga Happy New Year, and
at such desirable season seek to enlist
renewed favors, il would seem perfectly
in keeping if 1 should avail myself of
the present opportunity of also address
ing you in few remarks consonan with
my business. You will no doubt be
equally aware, with myself, how tickle
are the caprices Of fashion, from season to
season, hence to dwell on a subject of
so great an uncertainty would be super
huous. I would simply observe, there
fore, that so as 1 have exercised my ut
most ability to serve you in the past, 1
am equally prepared to strive to even
excel in the future. You will doubtless
be aware Of my recent severe loss conse-
quent on a fire demolishing my late
place Of business in Clapp's block. 1
have, however recovered the shock thus
occasioned, and believe you will find
me even better prepared than before to
contribute to your wishes at my new
stand in Deals Block, opposite MIR.
Joseph's. Though 1 am now clearing
out, for the next month, the whole of
my late stock at unprecedented low pri-
ces, to enable me to lay in an entirely
new spring display of goods, you may
confidently rely that each and every
order entrusted to my care shall receive
my prompt and personal attention to
ensure satisfaction. Nor should fail
to express my deep sense Of obligation
for past fayors SO abundantly showered
upon me, and if shortcomings I may
have evinced even to the most trivial
customer, in the past year, l only ask a
renewal of their fayors in 1915, that ]
may redeem my prestige and retain that
universal approval / have SO long lhad
the privilege of enjoying and SO earnest
ly covet from my lady friends.

No use of any longer taking the large,
repulsive, gripping, drastic and nauseOus
pills, composed of crude and bulky
ingredients, and put up in cheap wood
or paste board boxes, when we can, by
a careful application of chemicl science,
extract all the cathartic and other medi-
cinal properties from the most valuable
roots and herbs, and concentrate them
into a minute Granule, scarcely larger
than a mustard seed, that can be readily
swallowed bythe most sensitive stomachs
and fastidious tastes, Each of Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets rep
resents, in a most concentrated form, as
much cathartic power as is embodied in
any of the large pills found for sale in
the drug stores. From their wonderful
cathartic power, in proportion to their
size, people who have not tried them are
apt to suppose that they are harsh or
drastic in effect, but such is not the case
the different active medicinal principles
Of which they are composed being so
harmonized, one by the others, as to
produce a most searching and thorough,
yet gently and kindly operating cathartic.
The Pellets are sold by dealers in drugs

the persons who were said to have the
child in their possession. Detective

he does, or for what he omiis tr do in pc
