THOUGH MOST of the democratic members
Of the last Congress voted Tor free ellver
coinage, 1t lie well known fact that many
OF them did SO, not because they believed
that such coinsge s advisable. bat because
they thought their constituents favored 1T,
and that therefore toe scheme might ss well
be tried. In this view of the case MIR. Mills
may have shown his wisdom in assigning
minor place to the silver bill In his discus
sion of the Issues of the coming elections.
There are many democratic members OF the
next u. s. House OF Representatives who
thoroughly agree with Mr.. Mills In his tariff
ideas, but who see no good and much harm
In free silver coinege-enough possibly to
secure him the nomination for Speaker,
especially as 10 caucus there are no record
ed votes.

The idea of unlimited variety is carried out

this way different tints; silver, o1idized,

,,enor & Hoene. Established 1881.

This firm is not at the Exposition this
rear. but they are most decidedly at the
''Palace of Music, " a Fifth avenue, and
have display which is beyond expression
great. MellOr & Hoene now occupy the
entire premises, which they fill from front
10 rear with pianos, aolians and organs of
the highest grade. Nothing is more desira-
bic in the home circle than one of these
splendid Instruments This is not remark
able when vou take into consideration the
marvellous purity, the resonance, the dura-
billy and the power, as well as the exceed
ing Gelcacy Of tone. The celebrated Hard
man; the favorite Krakauer, the A. B.
Chase, and Harrington, with a list of makes
oi organs TOO long to mention, are samples
Uf the stock carried by this house, and
magnificent stock it is, too; but when you
come to the 2olians, words are insufficient
TO express, even family, their value and de-
STABILITY. These instruments are not only
the best in the market, and the very things
vou must have. hut the methods of buying
them are so comfortable and easy, the terms
So moderate, the treatment so courteous and
helpful, that you feel obliged TO go to them
for pianos, Polians and organs. Visitors
cannot afford to miss this chance.
