TIE COMMERCIAL value of the silver
in an American silver dollar to-day is
only fraction over siXty-eight cents,
And vet there are many people, many
poor Virginia farmers even, who, ii
they could, would have Congress pass
a law that would enable the rich silver
mine owners and the rich importers OF
foreign silver to carry tons of silver
bullion to the minis and have it coined
into dollars, with net profit of nearly
forty-two cents on every dollar. Such a
law might be advantageous topoormen,
for every thing is possible, but how it
could be passes the comprehension of
ordinary mortals.

A reckless and headstrong woman has at
lst seen the error of her way. For a long
me she has been wearing out herself, her
usband and her purse by insisting on bak-
og with inferior flour, jumping every week
o some new brand in her efforts to find a
ood, cheap -four. Her husband and friends
INSISTED that flour like anything else had a
rice in accord with quality, and prevailed
n her to try Camellia and Bayard Amber
hey are all happy now and the lady de-
lares the best is the cheapest. When she
ants a fancy, elegant flour she buys
AMELIA When she wants a splendid
,mily baker at a fair price she gets Bayard
1mber. They are the whitest, richest,
urest and most regular, and make more
our per sack than any other. One trial is
onvincing.
