Truth Tersely Told.

Mr.. J. Walter Thompson, one of the
most prominent advertising agents
of the Unithd States, writes the fol-
lowing on the subject of advertising:
GAS rule, low rates and large dis
counts, or lack of uniformity in prices
given for space, indicate small cir
culation. This is proved by the ex-
perience of careful advertisers, who
keep a record of their advertisements,
and invariably find that the higher
priced advertising rates mean large
and legitimate calculations, giving
the most satisfactory returns for the
money invested. Good goods always
bring fair prices-only poor articles
are so ldfor whatever can be got. Ad-
vertising space in publications of
large circulations represents a very
heavy outlay and cannot be offered
at nominal price without loss. Pub
fishers, like other business men,
don't do business merely for amuse-
ment, MORGAN they afford to give you
space for less than cost hence you
may set down vely low rates as posi-
tive proof of equally small and, there
fore comparatively valueless circula-
ton

North Yakima, WASH. Aug. 1o.-Demo-
Gratis. populists and free silver republic
ans today, after eight hours of eau
cueing and numerous faction fights Sue-
ceeded in placing a fusion ticket in the
field. The pangs Of conscience of the
middle-of-the-load popuists were eased
by the promise that the platform should
stand The populists gave the democrats
the offices of county clerk, coroner ana
treasurer and the free silver republic
ans prosecuting attorney and the county
commissioners.
\ committee of five was chosen by ettIi
convention to decide the basis Of the Cd-
vision of the spoils, and these commit
tees have been in constant session TINS
afternoon. as the populists fought Van-
entity TO overthrow the fusion machine.
However, when they were given TO under
stand they would not forfeit their plat
form. fusion carried by 96 to 10.
All the conventions named delegates
to the state convention at EilenSburS.
The prominent democrats who were nam
"a we're: SniVely, Fechter, Reavis, Cat
ron and Vance, with eight others. Ihe
democratic convention was very slim,
about 40 being present, while the silver
republicans had about half that num-
Der.
II. J. Jory was nominated by the popu-
lists for representative. He is not thought
to be a strong man by the repuDlcans,
even on the fusion ticket, and none OF
the county officers named Will nave It
walk-over The republicans are not at
all discouraged, and all are hopeful OF
success in November. The popuHSt nus
ion plank in the platform was as FOL
lows:
I'VE favor union of all the reform
forces, which can be effected without the
sacrifice of party name or party princl-
Pile"
The convention also commended the a9-
ton Of Pennoyer of Oregon in cutting
his own salary in half. At ~ O'Clock
this evening the delegates to all the CON
yentions are holding a joint session.
