TEE country merchant may we'll

The country merchant may well
ask himself the question-do the
people know me and my business;
do they know the quality OF my
goods and the low prices at which
I offer them? This is the era OF
the bargain counter. Every live
dealer provides one upon which ne
may offer as leaders goods that per-
haps could be disposed of in no
other way. This feature he adver-
tises from day to day and from
week to week. He has learned
that standing ad in a country
weekly is of little value compared
with the frequent changes in the
wording and the features with which
he hopes to attract public attention.
Let the people of his neighbor-
hood become acquainted with the
fact that every day and every week
a genuine bargain is to be found in
his store and no merchant will long
want for trade. The same fine dis
elimination in writing advertise
ments and in offering attractive
leaders must be exercised as is done
in the purchase of goods. 1t is the
old fogy who depreciates the value
of printers ink. 1t is as essential
as the show window or the roof up
on the store. Every month sum
must be set aside for the rent and
every month like sum should be
appropriated for advertising. A
dealer in the county seat should ad-
vertise more or less in every paper
in the county. Tell the people what
you have to sell.-Omahd CONNER

MAYOR SUTRo, of San Francisco,

And still they hold up Sutro as
thieving Jew because he was elect
ed by the Populists of San Francis

now being hampered by lot of fos-

The constant assertion by the
oddities that gold has intrinsic
value independent of supply and
demand, illustrates the want of cap
acity to distinguish between quality
and value. Quality is intrinsic and
value is estimation. Quality is in
the thing; value is in the mind.
The quality of gold is exchanging;
the value of gold changes with the
changing estimation ofman depend
ing upon the supply and demand
for gold.

THE silver men in the two old
parties have in the past been the
most efficient workers in the cause
of gold monopoly. The goldites
have controlled the National Con-
ventions of both parties, and the
silverites have led the silver forces
and ratified the goldite platform
and nominees AS long as silver
ties of the two old parties will con-
tinue to ratify the action of goldite
National Conventions the Roths-
childs gold combination will con-
tinue to rule the country. There is
a movement of these silverites in
the Democratic party to capture the
National Convention in 1896. 1t is
the most pronounced and vigorous
movement of the kind which has
taken place since the crime of 1873,
If it should succeed in nominating
q man with an unquestioned silver
record, on a platform of 10 to | by
the United States alone, the Democ-
racy would be victorious in 1896
and American liberty would be re-
gained. But if the free silver men
fail, what then? Will they join the
gold forces against their country
and fight in the ranks of the enc
mics of civilization because the con.
solidated banks and money chang.
ers of Europe and America, with
the press and railroads at their
command, have been able to again
pack National Democratic Con-
vention and misrepresent the will
of the people? We sincerely hope
our good friends will succeed in that
convention in 1896. But we warn
all true lovers of liberty that the
struggle in the Democratic Conven-
ton of '96 will be, to say the least,
doubtful. It is safe to make the
cause of silver dependent upon the
action of a party which has been
for many years subject to the will
of an alien gold trust? Honest
Democrats had better watch. Is it
safe to put too much faith in what
the Convention may do in view of
what preceding Conventions have
done? Faith may move mountains
but has never yet moved a National
Convention of either party for the
last 20 years from its firm adhesion
to the gold standard, contraction,
hard times, misery and want.-Sil-

the merchants of the town tell him
that advertising does not pay.
They very often intimate that
they look upon the money they pay
for advertising as a contribution
toward keeping the paper up rather
than source of profitable invest
ment. There was time when !
wondered at this attitude of the men
who advertised in these mediums,
but since / have begun to under
stand that an ad may be more than
mere announcement that certain
merchant is still on earth and may
be found at the old stand, | have
ceased to marvel at it and have come
to the place where | believe they
right in most cases. Not that | be-
lieve less in advertising or think
that the country newspaper is not a
good medium, but / can now COM
prehend that a great majority of
the ads in the country papers are
fearfully and wonderfully inane and
devoid of interest to the readers of
the paper.
The elevator gong ten feet from
my office door rings several hun
dred times day, but | hardly ever
hear it because I have become ac-
customed to it. The typesetting
machines in the next room click
day after day unless for some reason
they stop running.
This is not because / cannot hear,

1t is just the same with an ad.

Using the same thing III exactly the
same words or at most mere trans
positions of the same terms, the

vertises in soon become so accostom-
ed to seeing his announcement
that they actually read it without
knowing it.
/ get probably six hundred count
ry papers among my exchanges
every week and lately have taken
occasion to open all of them, when
| had leisure to do so, and look at
the ads in them. The monotony of
them is something dreadful, and
with rare exceptions the ad for a
grocer in Waupaca, Wis, could be
"lifted" and used for onein Goober-
vile, Ga, without the change of a
word, for both of them advertise
they sell "tea, coffee, spices, cheese,
dried beef, hams and shoulders"
and various other things, and the
chances are that both of them
make a speciality of fine canned
goods"
A man advertises that he deals
in dry goods, or groceries, or boots
and shoes, or what not, when the
chances are that every blessed sub
scriber to the paper the ad appears
in knows that and is not influenced
in any way by seeing it in the paper.
Column after column of ads appear
in the country papers in which there
is not the faintest appearance of in
formation, and the ad falls fiat and
the merchant knows it does, and
the editor is told that it does often
enough that he must have a well
defined feeling that there is some
truth in it.
1t seems to me that country edi-
tors injure themselves and keep
their paper in false position by
not paying more attention to the
ads and insisting on giving their
patrons something out Of the ordi-

FINE ENGINEERING.

Since the recent consolidation of most of
the street railway companies in San Fran
cisco the new company has made wonder
full strides in pushing new electric lines in
all directions throughout the City. One of
its most important undertakings was the
construction of a cross-town line on Fill
more street. This is a street of easy
grades until, going north, Broadway is en-
countered, when precipitous drop thence
to Vallejo and Green streets occurs.
Even for a cable road the grade (25K
per cent between Broadway and VAL
lejo) would be sleeper than any other in
the City, while for an electric road it is i'm
practicable.
At the beginning there was some curl
osity, therefore, concerning the consolid-
ated company plan of running an electric
road northward on Fillmore street to a
point beyond which it could not be pushed
and where a terminus would have no
meaning. The company has now ex-
planned its intention by announcing that

THE SUNDAY GALL.

To all who delight in the literature OF
the Pacific Coast, the most attractive arti-
Gle of the Sunday CALL will be Dan de
Quille's story, "The Black Dog of the
Bend, genuine romance of the mining
camps, involving crime and mystery, and
interesting from the first line to the last.
1t is needless to praise Dan de guile to
Californians. He is known to be one of
the most forcible and original of Pacific
Coast writers, and every story from his pen
is a permanent contribution to our litera-
ture.
Hardly less interesting to the general
reader-and even more SO to the historians
and men of science--than the tales OF the
mining camps are the records. few and
faint, of the people who dwelt in America
in bygone ages. Here, indeed, is one of
the worlds great mysteries involving the
destruction of an entire race and the loss of
a civilization of no mean order. This SUBJ
ject is treated in the Sunday CALL in an
elaborate description of valuable coilec-
ton OF antiquities of prehistoric race of
Central America-the Mayas. This race is
one of the oldest that have left traces on
our continent. 1t preceded the Toltecs, as
The San Francisco call., 1895-05-18

the Toltecs preceded the Aztecs, and yet,
as the discovered fragments of their work
show, they possessed an artistic develop
ment superior to that of the ancient Egyp-
tians.
Lovers OF animated nature will find in
the Sunday CALL another paper of the
series OF "Idyls of the Fields" that have
charmed SO many readers since the series
began. The paper of tomorrow gives
some delightful sketches of bird life, and
IS fully equal in interest and information
to any that have preceded it. The special
ARTICLES OF the Sunday CALL, however, are
too many to be enumerated in detail.
Every reader will find in it something
suited to his particular taste. The news
columns, while containing complete
record OF the events of the world of the
previous day, will be found particularly
rich In matters relating to the Pacific
Coast. No better compendium of family
reading, either for amusement or instruc-
ton, can be found, and every one, there
fore, can add another pleasure to his day
OF rest by ordering the Sunday CALL.

it will push the road on down the steep
hill to the cable line on Union street,
which is a proper terminus. 1t will ac-
compIish this by placing cable in the
two steep blocks between Broadway and
Green streets. and operating it with the
electricity which is supplied to the line.
This makes combination of electric
motor and cable, and is most ingenious
solution of puzzling engineering problem.
The completion of this work will be a
matter of great Importance to the City.
The one lack of streetcar facilities north
of Market street has been the absence of a
sufficient number of cross-town lines.
Even as it is, Hyde street has the only
direct line of this kind northward to the
bay, the roads to North Beach and Harbor
View being indirect and inconvenient for
cross-town purposes. 1t does not appear
that the Fillmore-street line is to run
further north than Union street, which is
a long distance from the bay, and whose
line is not part of the consolidated COM
pany's facilities. But when the time
comes for pushing the Fillmore-street road
further northward, we may be sure that it
will be DONE
The next improvement which we shall
expect at the hands of the consolidated
company an efficient fender has
been devised for the electric lines-is a
plan which will render longitudinal seats
on steep-grade roads less uncomfortable. If
the ingenuity of the company's engineers
is inadequate to produce an economical
transverse-seat arrangement (Which is the
most comfortable under all circumstances,
we have overestim ated their ability.
