Trade Marks
SOLID SILVER WARE.

There is no branch of industry,
except the manufacture of Silver
ware, where the makers name is not
used by the merchant as a sure guar
antee for good quality of the mer-
chandise bearing the mark but
there has been inherited by the sill
versmiths of our time pernicious
system of stamping the name Of the
dealer in the place that properly
belongs to that of the manufacturer,
as the maker is the only one that can
absolutely guarantee the quality of
the goods, as that is the important
use of any stamp used on silver ware,
so that purchasers will do well to
look for the Trade Mark of the
maker, in addition to the name of
the dealer; and if that mark should
be the @(t@ which is the trade
mark of the Gorham Mfg Co., it
can be relied upon as representing
English Sterling 995Hooo fine, as
no other quality is used by this firm.

Republicans and Finance.

iOoSs
1t is not likely that the change in admin
istration will Immediately affect stock
quotations. That President Harrison's
policy will be advantageous to the business
interests of the country is certain, because
he will not alter the traditions of his party.
No nation ever p%rOspered as the United
States while the finances were under the
management of the Republican party. In
the quarter of O century from 1861 to 1885
the largest and gravest questions of finance
and economics arose and We're adjusted
promptly and admirably. The cost of the
most expensive war In the history of
nations was raised and disbursed, a safe
and inexpensive banking system was put
in operation, the huge debt of the war
was reduced rapidly without injury to COM
mercial interests, and the balance was
funded successfully at a low rate of inter-
est. Specie payments were resumed at the
earliest practicable moment, and generally
the finances were directed ably and in the
interest of the whole people. With this
record the business community can safely
trust the new administration.

and you will have done we'll. You are ex-
pected to protect our home industries; to
build us a navy that will not cause us the
sense of shame we now feel; TO give us
adequate coast defenses. that will make it
impossible for some petty foreign power to
destroy our sea-board cities; to give us an
honest. economical form of government.
All this is expected of you, and we are
confident that you will meet our expecta-
tons. You are known to be a patriotic,
Christian man, and we anticipate great
things of you. The Nation will treat you
with uniform consideration; your bitter
partisan opponents thoroughly respect you;
