WIIminOtOn MESSENGER. Is

Col. DR.. Kingsbury is a gentleman
of the old school. Hewould resent any
intimation that he is practicing decep-
ton of the vilest kind, but he is all the
same. The Republicans are guilty of
all the charges-when they were in
power. But examine the above figures
and you will find that the pensions in
creased from $55, 429, 228.O6 in 1884 to
$50, 288, 6O8 II in 1888, and this was
during Cleveland's first administra
ton. He and John Sherman were the
bosses of the two parties then, just as
they r now. But to be still more lib
and the present. In 1892 the pensions
amounted to $145, 583, O52 70. But you
say Cleveland and this Democratic
House and Senate didn't get in until
March, 1893. True. But the House
was Democratic in 1890 and 1892 and
could have cut off the pensions, or
kept down the enormous expenditures.
But since March, 1898, the Democrats
have had full and absolute control and
the pensions have jumped from one
hundred and fifty nine millions to n
hundred and sirty7siG millions, and
yet the Messenger admits in the above
that it is "still increasing" The editor
of the Messenger may outlive any of
we younger people, but at best he has
but a little longer on this earth. Is he
ready to meet his Creator without cor
recting the false impression he en-
deavors to convey in the above2

Short Talks on Advertising.
BY Charles A. Bate

Dy Shdrlcs A bhtet.
Advertising by circulars and such
things undoubtedly is sometimes prof
liable. In the manufacturing or job
bing business this is more likely to be
true than not.
The retail merchant needs quicker,
surer, less expensive method, and he
finds it in daily and weekly newspa-
pers.
There is no method of advertising
which costs so much and so little at
the same time. While the expenditure
may have to be greater in the news
paper the amount Of publicity received
is doubly as great in proportion to the
price as that to be had in any other
way.
An exact example will do more to
make this clear and to prove it true
than columns of talk.
A shoe dealer on Sixth avenue in
New York wished to advertise his
store. He proposed sending out a
series of circulars, one each month, for
nine months. There were 5000 circu-
lars sent each time, and the cost for
the series of nine, including postage,
was about $500. For this sum he
reached 5000 people nine times.
For the same amount of money he
could have placed five-inch ad in the
Sunday issue Of paper having guar
anteed sworn circulation of over 100,-
600 copies every issue, for thirty-nine
issues, covering the same period that
the distribution of his circulars did.
Contrast the $4,000 circulation he
secured by the circulars with the ,O00,-
600 circulation he could have had in
the paper and you viii see at once how
great mistake he made. There is no
question about the fact that he would
have received ten times the benefit
from the newspaper advertising that
he did from the circular. 1t is the
only logical conclusion.
Sometimes circulars are good, but
whenever you are contemplating issu-
ing one, sit down and figure up the
possibilities-see how much space and
how much circulation the cost Of the
circular would buy in the REGISTER.
You will find in every case that reason
and common sense will be in favor of
using the paper. BY doing so you will
reach nine-tenths of the very people
to whom you would address circulars,
and you will reach ten times as many
other people to whom your circular
would not have gone at all.

where to find the goods. Every ar

the goods. 1t was a bold piece of bus
mess and neatly executed.
