Business men, do you know that every
whine TO your customers about hard
times causes purse strings to tighten?
That people judge by appearances rather
than conditions, and that the time when
people don't want to buy is when you
should hold forth your inducements. Do
you know that the building prospects
for 1894 are most gratifying that money
is easy, old stocks pretty well used up
and trade prospects Frightening up?
Don't be lamenttng. Believe In your
town, believe in your towns enterprises,
talk cheerfully, advertise your business,
boom your town and all will prosper.
Sit down on croakeTS wherever you find

has acquired control of all branches Of
the government, is TO substitute for the
class legislation of the republican party
such measures as will benefit all of the
people. IL is to democratic policies that
the country must look for a return of
national prosperity.-White County Dem
