Learn From Experience.

What has been our experience
Since our government was formed
silver and gold have been the con-
stitutional money. Both have been
legal tenders until 1873; both were
coined on equal terms, and nearly
all the time they were interchange
able in value. Under this bimctal-
lie standard the country prosperec
as no people have ever prosperec
before. We grew to be great na

SEEKING CUSTOM.

It used to be the fashion for Gus
toners TO seek for goods. AL
that was necessary was to produce
or have in stock the needed articles
and the customer did the rest.
But this was long ago. Coupe
tition has changed methods of
business.
The customer has TO be hunted
up and his trade solicited. It is
entirely so in the wholesale bust
ness, and it is getting to be about
the same in the retail. It is not
only necessary to have a store
illed with goods, but the attention
nf people has got to be drawn to
those goods.
An impression has got to be
made upon the public in some
way that you have the goods they
want, and it IS to their personal
advantage to buy those goods at
your store.
IF your competitor across the
street succeeds in making more
people believe that he can satisfy
them better than you can, he will
get the larger share of trade. But
how to do it? That IS what every
retailer is asking
Perhaps the question can best
Be answered bya few negatives.
Il can not be done by continu-
ing the old methods of business of
= score or even a decade'of years
ago.
It cannot be done by neglecting
60 replenish old and shopworn
stock with new and fresh goods.
It cannot be done by ignoring
the new and useful inventions that
are supplanting many of the old
Office and writing helps and de-
vices.
It cannot be done without adj
vertising more or less in the local
papers.

A Happy Outlook.
once.

The results of such a financial
depression as that from which our
country is now happily emerging
cannot be computed by the tables
of the statisticians which show how
many dollars we have lost. The
business reverses of the last two
years represent an untold burden
of nervous strain and anxiety upon
the majority of the people. In the
circle of our personal acquaintance
we have seen middle-aged men in
the course of a few months age
more than they normally would
have done in as many years. Lives
have been shortened, children have
not had advantages to which they
were entitled, the causes of Chris
tian benevolence have suffered,
there has been less joyous life in
the country during this period of
revefses. No one can estimate
how much the business revival Of
the last few months has done to
lift burdens that were becoming in
supportablc. We read that wages
in this and that line have been in-
creased 10 or IS per cent. Per-
haps it does not mean much TO us.

TRYING TO MlsREPREsENT.

The st. Paul Globe is trying to
make out that Democratic policy of
horizontal reduction of the tariff as
@put forth by VIM. r. Morrison, when
in congress, has been endorsed by the
Republicans in the emergency bill
which has been formulated this
week, providing for additional rev.
enue to help out the treasury condl-
ton, by puttinga tariff on wool of 90
per cent. of the Mckinley law, and
also increasing the duties on wooden
manufactures to 60 per cent. of those
imposed by the Mckinley law, while
on large number of other articles
upon which a reduction was made by
the present law, horizontal increase
of from II to Is per cent. is provided.
The Globe, however is not fair enough
to state that this does not represent
the Republican idea of the tariff, nor
the manner in which it should be
levied, nor that it has been expressly
stated by the Republican leaders that
it in no way represents the Republi-
can policy, but was simply an en-
Urgency bill, the purpose OF which is,
in connection with the second bill
which provides for the issue of bonds
at lower rate of interest than now
provided by law, to help the treasury
over the difficulties which have been
for months confronting it. The Globe
should also have stated that there is
nothing insthis bill which causes any
alarm throughout the country, for it
menaces the life of no industry as did
the Democratic free trade legislation
when proposed. However, if any one
expected that the Democrats in con-
gress would rise to patriotic point
in meeting the difficulties of the hour
which confront the treasury, or our
financial system, they are doomed to
disappointment, as the representa-
tives of that party in the house do
not seem disposed to make any change
from the ruinous policy they have
! followed for the past three or four
years, and the party press occupies
about the same position. They show
no evidence of profiting by the ad-
versities which have overtaken them.

official report, the Druses lost IL, 200

reported from Marsus that disturbances
have occurred there between Mussul-
mans and Christians. The outbreak
was, however, soon quelled by the au-
thorities. This disturbance Is believed
to explain the arrival of the mission

THE nASSES IN EVIDENCE.

There is great deal of talk about
Messrs. Platt, Quay, Clarkson and
others forming combine to control
the next national convention of the
Republicans, and dictate the ticket.
The most of this kind of talk eman-
ates from Democratic sources, and in
this respect of course, the wish is
father to the thought. No doubt
these gentlemen would like to con-
troll affairs if they could and secure
the nomination of the men they par
ticularly desire. There are few great
politicians in either party but who
would like to do the same thing had
they only the power. But to secure
control of the Republican convention
next June, will be no easy matter.
There are too many interested can
didates in the field, whose immediate
friends recognize the fact that NOM
ination is equivalent to an election,
and who will stand pat until the last
hope gives way. And again the rank
and file of the party give evidence of
a disposition to have more of say in
such matters than heretofore, and
the party has always been noted for
the manner in which the great body
of it's members has Influenced the
running of things. The election of
delegates by congressional districts,
which has been in vogue for dozen
years or more, makes it still harder
to effect a combination, except that
some man with the magnetism and
popularity of a Blaine can draw them
to him.

reduce the Cubans to submission.
October came and went. November
passed by and December is fast draw
ing to close, yet the plucky Cubans
are not subdued. On the other hand
they have been giving the Spanish a
great scare. Latest information from
Cuba is to the effect that Campos has
been outgeneraled by Gomez, the
leader of the Cuban insurgents. and
that the latter at the head of an
army of some $4,000 or $4,000 men,
fairly well equipped with arms is fast
approaching Havana. They may not
be able to take possession of that city,
but if they should, it is probable that
