THE SlLVER-CERTlFICATE POLICY.


THE PLAN NOVEL IL ONLY ONE sENsE-L1KELY

Washington. jan % (SpccaD.The statement that
the Bank of England is about TO begin the issue Oh

silver rcserve-that is, to put on the money HlarNeI
what might be called in this country silver certit
ca,eshas caused a good deal of comment and specu-
,ation here among those interested in financial prob
lens The friends of silver see in the proposed Issue
Of notes a BOOM for their favOrte metal and even
some Of the more conservative hnancers are oSposen
10 think this new step significant one In the hnahcia
Motley Of Great Britain. However, as the Bank OF
England has always had Onequarter OF It's reserve III
silver and was authorized to issue notes al any thc
against this coin, the decision to put the notes hlo
circulation now cannot be looked altogether
startling innovation. There is general agreement
nevertheless that this new move on the part Of tho
Bank OF England will be helpful to the silver market
and will raise the price Of that metal TO d
slight extent.

interest. When asked this evening what he
thought that the Issue Of silver notes was sign-
cant departure for the Bank of England, he an,
such one pound notes have yet been issued But
the Bank of England has always had the right To issue
notes against lis reserve fund Of coin, and one
quarter of that reserve fund consists of silver In
this the proposed plan Is not novel one or
at least, ii involves no new departure IN hhahc"i

A FINANCIAL RUMOR IN LONDON.
ORIGIN OF THE STORY THAT THE BANK OF Eng
LAND WOULD ISSUE ONE POUND NOTES

London, jan 22.-Nohng has been published here
in regard to the report that the Bank Of England had
recently been a heavy purchaser Of silver bullion and
was contemplating the issue Of pound notes redeem
able in silver the necessary authority could
be obtained Careful inquiries in financial circles
this morning resulted in the showing that few had
heard OF the report, and they ncreduous a 70

positively that the Bank Of England had made no
such purchase Of bullion and not buying silver
now. Further than tins, they declared that pur-
ciases Of silver not being made by any London
bank. Attention drawn TO the fact that neither
the Bank Of England other bank in England
could issue pound notes without special authority %
that end by act Of Parliament. II was considered
doubtful whether so conservative an Institution
the Bank Of England would be making preparations
for 50 radical departure from IFS previous history
before definite authority had been secured.
silver bullion was Il OF penny lower per ounce

The prevailing opinion seemed to be that the pres

That is the trouble with some people;
they have no time to wait for results.
Some women will take dose or 30 OF
DIR. Perce's Favorite Prescription and
expect to feel well Immediately. True,
some do find marvclously speedy effects
from its use. but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in a day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow
In their progress, and must be cured,
if at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use of the
"Favorite Prescription " for a reasona-
BILE length of time will cure all those
chronic weaknesses, Irregularities and
distressing arrangements with which so
many females are afflicted. But the
use of this wOrld-famed medicine must
be persisted an for considerable time
