ECONOMY IN FUEL.


The Eureka Fuel Economizer is a SCI
entifca: preparation which augmeats the
intensity of coal and wood hea in the
proportion of 80 per cent.
If the direction printed on each pack
age Is carefully observed, tine Eureka
Coal Economizer will give to any crdina-
ry or middiing Goa the saAme value as
thiat of superior quality.
The Eureka Fuel Econonlzer prevents
the shoots, the clnders and the formation
of smoke, which may spoil, in an apart
ment, so many valuable articles, such
ais curtains, paintings, etc.
The Eureka burns any kind of gas
which might destroy the breathtlble air;
apartments and factories in which 1t is
used are consequently more healthy and
comfortable. In less than five minutes,
one can obtain a very brisk fire which
will last thirty hours without being stirr-
ed up and without any addition of fresh
coal. Hence an economy of coal, work
and money.
The Eureka E%conomizer produces a neat
more soft and more concentrated; when
a normal heat is wanted, the ventilation
must be parity stopped and, again, an
economy in fuel Is to be relied upon.
We guarantee that our preparation pro-
duces no injurious effect on the health,
and does not affect in any way stoves,
ranges, CRATES, etc.
Large can obtain the pro-
duct, which we do not hesitate in term
ing marvellous" ait much more reduced
prices.
Each package bears, with very explicit
directions, our trade mark, representing
four hands crossed together above a
lion with this motto: I'm union there
Is strength" Any counterfeiter shall be
dealt according to law.
We receive 100 frequently applications
for samples, ami it is with regret that
we are compelled to refuse the sending
of the sumo. Heretofore we have NIB
era.iy given away samples in order to
popularize our product, but we cannot
afford to support sue heavy expense any
longer, The moderate price of cur pro-
duct is in the reach of anybody who
wants to try 1t. 1t is for the same reason
that we have decided to send 1t direct on
receipt of % cents.
To try Is to be convinced that our pro-
duct is a triumph of science.

The present expectation of gold will do no
harm if it will only force a recognition by
congress of the causes of this movement.
1t is a principle as well established as the
law Of g%ravitation that when there is a
redundancy of currency in any country,
that portion Of it that is most valuable
or most generally d~esired-that portion
that will pay debts abroad as well as at
home-will find its way elsewhere. While
our paper currency was confined to
three hundred and sixty millions of green
backs, with such volume of national notes
as the banks found it profitable to keep
reserve intended to give security to this
circulation was not a difficult matter.
The addition Of the hundred and ninety
millions of treasury notes under the Sher-
man act of 1890 overturned all this.
Though the banks have Withdrawn a con-
siderable pare Of their circulation, there
is still more paper money aloat thar Is
required for active use. Consequently the
holders exchange 1t for gold and send the
gold away.
OF course, If business were very active
and we were selling large quantities Of
produce abroad, the currency would not
trouble us. But we should always be
liable to this trouble, as we rave been
since 1890, and we shall never get business
upon a really stable foundation till con-
gress can bring its mind to legislate for
currency reform.
