congress OF the United States has nassed
The Uni Ell States is the greatest sill
reproducing country of the world. and
IL Is debtor nation also, and vet con-
gress has legislated to depreciate the
value of silver and to enhance the bur-
zen OF debt. Such a course is worse
than folly; it is crime.
BY the demonetization of silver NOT
only has the burden of indebtedness
teen increased but business has become
/ prostrated on account of an insufficient
/ supply OF money with which to effect
lVely procure an interchange of COM
modities. The Bland law of 1878 and
the Sherman law of 1890 relieved the
dlf1culty to some extent, and yet the
silver dollars coined under the Bland
law and the certificates issued under the
Sherman law had both of them the
brand of bastardy, as under both laws
the money loaner was allowed to dis
honor them. Never, never, will we have
prosperous times again in this country
until silver is restored to the position it
held for 80 years under the government.
as full legal tender money, with equal
privileges of coinage with gold. The
contraction of the national currency bv
the denial of the equal coinage of silver
with gold, and by the deprivation of its
legal tender qualities, is now bearing it's
bitter fruit in the present unfortunate
condition of the country. We need 90
no further back than the history of our
own country, although the whole his
tory OF the world is replete with the
same lessons, in order to show that the |
present stagnation of business and ruin
GUS fall in prices is directly the result of |
the contraction of the currency and the |
refusal to use silver as full debt-paying
money.
In this country from 1909 to 1s4s the
power of the precious metals
increased fully 145 per cent This was
the result of a diminished supply conse-
quent upon the trouble between Spain
and her American colonies. From 1850
to 1865 prices gradually rose and busi-
ness prospered as the legitimate result
of an expanded currency furnished by
The gold mines Of California and by the
ssue OF treasury notes during the war.
From 1878, when silver was demone-
lzed, until now there has been gen.
raj fall in prices and a material check
o national development consequent
lpon the decrease in the volume of
money, relieved, however, to some ex-
ent from 1873 to 1890 by the operation

AT the close of the civil war the

nearly three billions of dollars, the
greater portion of which was payable in
lawful money. In 1869 congress de-
eiared thai this debt should be paid in
CON or It's equivalent, in 1870 that il
should be paid in coin of the present
standard value, and in 1878 silver was
aemonetised, thus making the whole
aent payable in gold coin, thereby inn

The business mar who says that ad-
vertising does not pay does not adver-
tise. He is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade reports he hears of
his competitor, who does advertise. He
sits in the back of his store, smokes his
pipe and wonders why he isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
should have trade. He not only let's his
neighbor get that neighbours share Of

goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them.
Why is this so? 1t is because his COM
petitor let's the public know in an in
telligent way through the local papers
what he has to sell and when he has it.
The successful advertiser looks after
his advertising space as he does his
clerks. He changes his ads. in such a
way the people are attracted by them.
He feels that to make money he must
be willing to spend some; that there is
competition in all lines Of bust
ness, and to get his share of the trade
he must advertise, and to do it in the
skillful and intelligent way. If he
cannot write advertising matter himself,
he seeks the aid of some one who has
made the writing of advertisements a
study-some specialist, who will see that
1t is properly written in a catchy and
displayed way-some one whose duty 1t
is to take off the shoulders Of a busy
man all the worry of making up an ad.
No business man attempts to cure his
own sickness, pull his own teeth, make
his wi clothes or attend to his own
law cases. He employs specialists for
each Of these various services, and
money by doing it. 1t is through
It's language and arrangement that an
advertisement gets its business bringing
qualities. There must be something to
attract public attention and hold it;
something of interest, something out of
he ordinary, something that is different
rom others of the same line of bust
ness. To give it these peculiar features
requires experience, and the owner Of
rhe Historian has engaged the services
Of such a specialist for the benefit of
It's advertising customers who may wish
to take advantage Of his services.
