When the Wyoming Legislature met

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 2l.--The loss OF

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Time to Ad,ertl.r

There's nothing ON earth SO mys.
teriously funny as an advertisement.
The prime first, last and all the time
object OF an advertisement Is to draw
custom. 1t is not, was not and never
viii be designed for any other pur.
pose. So the merchants waits till the
busy aso comes, and his store is so
full Of custom he can't get his hat
off, and then he rushes to the printer
and goes in for advertising. When
the dull season gets along and there is
no trade, and he wants to sell his
goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he
stops advertising. That is, some Of
them do; but occasionally a level
headed merchant does more OF it,
and scoops in all the business, while
his neighbors are making mortgages
to pay the electric light bill. There
are times when You couldn't stop
people from buying everything in the
store il you planted a cannon behind
the door, and that's the time the adj
vertisement Is sent on its holy mis-.
sion.
1t makes light work for advertis-
ing, for a chalk sign On the sidewalk
could do all that was needed and have
a hali-holiday six days in the week;
but who wants to favor an advertise
ment? They are built to do hard
work, and should be SEM ont in the
dull days, when acustomer has to be
knocked down with hard facts, and
kicked insensible with bankrupt re-
ductions, aud dragged in with irresis
tible slaughter OF prices, before he
will spend a cent.
That's the aim and end OF adver-
Using. and il ever You open a store
don't try to get them to come when
they are already sticking out of the
windows, but give them your ndver-
tisement right between the eyes in
the dull season, and you will wax
rich, and W a fat horse, and per
haps be able to smoke a cigar once
or twice a year. Write this down
where you'll fall over it every day.
The time to draw business is when
you want business. and not when you
have more than you can attend to al.
ready.

time spent, and wishing Mr.. johnson
both health and prosperity and the
good fortune to zoe tho returns OF
many more such happy birthdays.

In IFS Financial ReAieu the News
Letter has tho following relative to
ths outlook for silver:
A good silver mine is about the
best investment which could be made
to-day, IL bought att figure equiva-
lent to tho deprecated value Of the
metal in the open market. Indepen-
dent OF any action by the members
assembled at Washington, silver will
advance in price before long, and the
movement will be on a firm basis
which will defy the action OF I'M
friendly legislation to shake. Absorb
ed by the general discussion Of the
silver question. the financial cyclists
Of this great nation seem to have lost
sight OF the gradually broadening
ideas on the subject in commercial
bodies on tho other side OF the Allan
tic. While this country has been
talked almost to death, the more prac-
teal people OF the old world have
formulated a policy which is well cal
culnted to enhance the value Of silver
bullion. The English have arranged
to mint a new SILVER dollar, the weight
OF which will be 4l6 grains, 900 fine,
or the equivalent Of the Japanese yen.
These dollars are intended for circu.
lation in the Straits Settlements
Hongkong. and other markets in the
far East. They may also possibly be
used on the east coast OF Africa, and
in otter adjacent localities, in compe.
tition with the Mexican and japanese
dollars, and perhaps, should the coin
be a success, eventually with even
the Marie Theresa dollar. The coin
age Of the new dollar has already be.
gun in Bombay and notice has been
given to the effectthat merchants may
introduce silver in the mint for CON-
age into the new dollar, paying a mint
ing charge of one per cent. This
means free coinage or a scale which
will relieve the market OF large quln-
titles Of silver bullion. At the pres
emit high quotation OF Mexican dollars
in the Straits Settlement, it is remun-
erative to introduce the japanese
yen. but it is anticipated that when
the war between China and Japan is
over the yen will be recalled to japan.
This will leave room for the introduc-
ton OF the new British dollar, which
all the banks have undertaken to aid
in supporting. This practically set
ties the question OF a gold standard
for India, and the steady value which
the new dollar will impart to the sill
yer, we'll bring the metal more in Ia
o with the natives than it ever was.
1t can be predicted with safety that
all the Indian mints will be running
full blast very shortly turning out
the new dollars, doing away with the
rupee which has always been most
uncertain and unreliable rs a factor
OF monetary exchange.

after the Senate met to-day to pre-
sent what he regarded rs q solution of
the present lack OF government g V
enue. The Senator varied the usual
custom in introducing his bill by
reading the fun text of his measure
with great deliberation and then com.
men;ing on it.
The bill provides for the immedi-
ate issue OF sIO0. 100000 in treasury
notes TO meet The deficiencies, these
notes to be redeemable in coin and to
be constantly reissued. Itfurther di-
reefs the coinage the the seignorage
and the deposit Of silver bullion
at American minis.

That question: said Pugh, is in

OF the present situation. 1t was such
that he was ready to surrender long

confidence, should do something at
once. He did not believe the Senat-

rupted to ask as to the attitude Of the

Congress calling attention to the pres
ent conditions responded Pugh with
great earnestness, sThe President
and his Secretary OF the Treasury have
offered a scheme OF currency revision
to meet the present evils. II this was
not accepted, let both Houses proposes
something else. The President has
discharged his duties, now let us do

Tie bill was referred to the Finance
COMMITTEES.
Sherman submitted another impor-
tant financial measure. 1t provides
for the issue and sale OF bonds under
the provisions Of the resumption act,
from time to time, as the deficiency OF
the treasury required, tho proceeds tn
be used wholly for deficiencies and
the bonds to run for five years, ut not
to exceed three per cent interest.
The second section provides that in
lieu Of the foregoing the Secretary of
the Treasury may issue coin certiti-
Gates in denominations OF from 60 to
800. bearing three per cent interest,
and put the certificates in circulation
