WEEKLY RRvIEw OF TRADE

Business begins this May In better con

breakdown in May, 1898. Smaller in
volume than then, it is not shrinking
but enlarging. The chief obstacle to a
complete business revival is the anxiety
OF many to pluck fruit before it is ripe.

When was q student in Philadelphia

broken leg. When the plaster bandage
was removed and lighter one put in
its place l noticed that one of the pins
went in with great difficulty and could
not understand it. A week afterward,
in removing this pin, found that it
had stuck hard and fast, and 1 was
forced to remove it with the forceps.
What was my establishment, on making
an examination, to find that the pin
had been run through the skin twice
instead of through the cloth. why"

THE PRESIDENT WRITES ANOTHER
LETTER,

Governor Stone, of Mississippi, yes
teaday evening gave to the Assc ciateG
Press letter addressed to him by Pres.
ident Cleveland, under date of April 90.
OF which the following is synopsis.
After disclaimiug all idea of building
or fostering a personal following the
President says, while the action towards
the administration Of those appointed to
places must remain to large extent
matter of tact or good breediDga when
officials resort to vilidcations and
abuse of those unde- whom they hold
off16e so as to indicate that they dannot
be trusted, in the interest of good Qovs
eminent such officeholders need nbt be
surprised II they are summarily dsslt
with. The President praises Governor
Stones letter to the citizens of Missis-
sippi on the currency question as val
liable contribution to the argument in
favor OF sound money.
He says he has never ceased to won
der why the people of the South, fur
nishing 30 largely as they do, products
which are exported for gold, should be
willing to submit to the disadvantages
and losses of silver recommendation,
and content themselves with o depr,a
cisted and fluctuating currency while
permitting others to reap profit from
the transmution of the prices of their
productions from silver to gold" He
further expresses the hope that the gov.
ernof's letter will be given the widest
circulation possible, especially in the
South, and in conclusion, says:
"If we should be forced away from
out traditional doctrine of sound and
safe money, our old antagonist will
take the field on the platform which
we abandoned. and neither the votes
of reckless Democrats nor reckless Re-
publicans will avail to stay their easy
march to power.
"This Is as plain as anything can poi
sibly be. 1t, therefore. becomes the
duty OF every Democrat, wherever he
may be, to consider what such q victory
would mean, and in the light OF proper
conception of its results he should des
liberately shape his course" From the
above and what the President has said
and written heretofore it is evident that
Mr.. Cleveland has enlisted on the side
of "sound money" for the.war and is res
solved to do his full share Of the fight,

G. A. Douglass, of Washington, COM

strain the holding of constitutional

THE 1MfORTANCE OF ADVERTISING.
The great mercantile home OF Hilton,
Houghes &c Co., of New York. successors
to A. T. Stewart s. Co, attempted to
hold the trade Of their predecessors
without advertising. With the prestige
OF the old house. with millions of dol
lars to back them, with the finest and
largest mercantile building In New
York and in o most prominent location
the scheme failed to work They kept
the goods, but the vast throng that
passed their doors never knew it and
the goods remained on their shelves.
After losing untold thousands by the
"stsgnation process" the firm became
desperate. They sent to Philadelphia
and engaged John Wanamaker's adver.
Using man, Gilbert, at a salary of
$4,000 year and told him to "pitch
in" Gilbert took an inventory of the
immense stock, repriced the same and
then pitched in" with half page ada
vertisement in the New York morning
papers. He told the people Of New
York, Brooklyn and Jersey City whst
he had to sell and the price asked.
They now employ special police force
to handle the crowds that constantly
throng the big Broadway store. The
lesson Is plain. The business house
that does not advertise in this wide-s-
wake newspaper reading age will sooner
or later see its stock advertised over
the name Of the public auctioneer.

THE EASTERN SITUATION.

The demands OF Russia in regard to
the China-Japau treaty have created
fears that the Celesteals' emperor at the
last moment might refuse to ratify the
agreement OF the peace com missioners.
Advices from London and Shanghai,
however, are 20 the effect that no occa-
sion for such fears longer exist, the
emperor of Chinahaving signifed his in
tention to ratify the treaty before the
expiration of the armistice announced
by the Japanese government. This will,
OF course, be Disappointment to Rus
sia and the other protesting powers, as
it throws all responsibility of further
action entirely upon them. A Vienna
correspondent OF the London Standard,
says the Japanese declare that 1T ia i'm
possible for them to yield to the dicta-
tion OF Russia, and are making prepara-
lions accordingly. Large orders have
been placed by the Japanese govern
ment in several European countries for
war material, and its agents are busy in
the dock yards OF Europe and America,
buying,war ships, mostly small and quick
cruisers. No respite will be allowed
China for the ratification of the treaty,
and unless the agreement Is signed
the march on Pekin will begin as soon
as the armistice ends AS to Russia 1t
is said that Japan will politely waive
her claims, and it will then be impera-
tive for the cllies to bring matters to an
issue.

Wide and wider grows the swath.
Either side the bright corn heaves
Billows OF gold.
Trees glory Of bronze and red.
Bind, bind the sheaves.

Through the cheQuer of thinning leaves
The air Is cold.
Breath Of the coming frost is there,
Bind, bind the sheaves.
Vines that cling to the house grow bare.
Swallows leave their nests in the caves
Empty and old.
Apple globes, crimson and white.
Bind, bind the sheaves.
Winnowed grain, sunnily bright

The wide bins hold.
Fill the fiagon up to the brim.
Bind, bind the sheayes,
Until the foam runs over the rim.

In dusk and mold.)
