And when the rise came, our coal

The false and the low

The honest merchant
who really has the except

at a loss to know how to
advertise the facts, so that
the oft-bitten public will
believe him.
Remember we can and
do sell better goods at all

cheaply as now.
Not only do we want to
sell what we've got, but
what you like and want
So that after you have
bought and paid for any
article you are under no
obligation to keep it, unless
it pleases you and meets
your requirements exactly;
otherwise bring it back
and get your money.

Silver seems to be constantly ap-
preciating in price, not only in this
country but in Europe as well. The
price of bar silver in New York on
the LIST was one-quarter cent higher
than the day before, selling at sixty
seven and one-eighth cents per
ounce. This may result from the
present agitation in Germany for an
international coinage law, and the
further fact that the new English
cabinet is supposed to be friendly to
the white metal, ard may join Ger
many and the United States in ask
ing for conference. We may be
gradually approaching the silver
millennium.

A trans Pacific cable now seems
to be an assured fact, but with this
announcement comes the disagree
able statement that it is to be built
with English money, to connect
English ports, and to be operated
and controlled by English authori
ties. 1t seems strange that enough
encouragement could not have been
found in this country to justify the
laying of this cable by our own
capitalists. A little energy in this
direction, as well as in the direction
of securing the control ola few more
stragetic points, and accessible and
well guarded stations in various
quarters, would lend stimulous to
our commercial interests, which GER
tainly have not received too much
encouragement in the past.

Our esteemed contemporary down
street will please make a note of the
following from the Pittsburg Post;
"The Carnegie company, at
Homestead, paid out on Saturday
$4,000 in wages to their men.
This showed an advance of $1,000
that goes to labor because of the re-
cent increase in wages. All this
was under the Wilson tariff. The
Carnegie works had quite differ
ent experience in 1892, under the
Mckinley law, at time when the
Wilson tariff was not dreamed of,
and five months before the election.
There was a reduction of wages,
and prescription of labor organiza
ton under the Mckinley tariff.
The workingmen are sizing up the
situation. They are getting better
wages than under the closing years
of McKinleyism, and besides that,
the purchasing power of their wages
has been materially increased.
They can buy more of the necessities
for the same money"
