When And How To Advertise.

States.
On the title page of the Manu-
facturer's Record the following is
quoted from an interview with
Mr. [. Il. Waterman, of fountain
pen fame:
"You have heard of the story of
of the two men who were approach
ed in regard to advertising. their
business during dull times. One
replied that times were hard and
he couldn't afford it and the other,
that times were hard and he must
increase his advertising space, and
accompanied his reply with re-
quest for rates. l believe in the
method of the last chap. When
the panic of 1898 struck us, even
before it came, when l could see
the clouds gathering, l made pre-
parations to increase our publlci-
ty account, and set aside $lO,OOO
for use in that year. l used 1T,
and the consequence was that l
weathered the cyclone in good
form. $3.50 l do not believe in spas
modic advertising. One has to keep
hammering away at nail until
he has it driven, but the difficulty
of the business nail is that one
never gets it driven
A number of the most success
full business men of the country
have adopted the plan above re-
ferred to. They maintain that
when times are flush all character
of business prOspers, while, on tn,
other hand, when they are dull il
becomes life and derth struggle
between merchants and then the
ljudicious and liberal advertiser is
certain to distance those of hi
competitors who adopt the penny
wise and pound-foolish system o
not ADVERTISING because of the ex
penses.
i There are many merchants wh'
argue that they are so well known
: advertising is not necessary. On
A. L. Stewart in his day was pref
ty well known and yet he was
very extensive advertiser to tin,
day of his death. Wanamaker
{ another well known merchant, Ina
built up an enormous business ant
accumulated great wealth, and We
, it is said he pays man $4,000
year simply to write his advertise

The middle-of-the-road Popu-
lists led by the fanatical delegates
from the South, who are beyond a
doubt the most ultra in their
views of any in the country, took
the bit between their teeth in the
St Louis convention yesterday
and by reversing the order or bu-
siness nominated Tom Watson, of
Georgia. for vice-president, in ad-
van&e of naming a candidate for
President. 1t is quite probable
that the action of the convention
will prevent the populists party as
a whole from uniting on the Dem
ocratic nominee for President, but
the result will be spit and very
serious one in the ranks of the
Populites, which may lead to the
dislntegration of their party.
The delegates from the great
Northwestern States are for BRYAN
and have declared their intention
of voting for him no matter what
the ST. Louis convention may do,
and with the aid of Democratic
votes will probably be able to
carry their States for him, while

feated in every one of the States

were filed with compassion and there
was not dry eye in the room while
Senator Teller spoke. Senator Du-
bois, Senator Cannon and Delegate
Mott broke down completely and
wept like children. Senator Ledge,
who replied, spoke words of tender
sympathy as if the occasion weEe
some great special bereavement. He
upheld Senator Teller and his col
leagues but declared that the repre-
sentatiVes of the party could not fal-
ter on account of the money question.
In the platform, which is to be pre-
sented tomorrow, and which was
sent out in all its special details by
the Associated Press, when it is pre-
sented to the convention there viii be-
no disposition to cut off the boilers.
They are honored and respected
Their services in the cause of the
party have been long and faithful
and they will be given ample time to
make their final protest before they
take their departure from the party
with which they have 80 long been
allied. 1t is not probable that there
will be any reply to the silver men, az
least not an extended one. If Senator
Lodge can have his way no bitterness
will be engendeFeGl.
The general belief is that the con-
vention will adjourn tomorrow. The
prevailing opinion continues to be
that Gov. Morton will be McKinley's
running mate on the ticket, although
the friends of Hobart and Evans still
insist otherwise and the anti -Platt

ing his nomination. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Hanna is opposed to Morton and
this fact furnishes the chief ground
for the confidence of the anti Norton
delegates
HERE'S YOUR "soUnD MONEY"
Following is the financial plank of.
the platform adopted by the full
committee and reported to the con-,
vention.
1.-THE Republican party is unreserv-,
eddy for sound money. 1t caused the,
enactment of the law providing for
the resumption of specie payments in
1879 and, since then every dollar has
been as good as gold.
eve are unalterably opposed to-
every measure calculated to debasee
our currency or impair the credit Of
our country. We are, therefore,, op-
posed to the free coinage of silver ex-
cept by international agreement With
the leading commercial nations of the,
world, which we pledge ourselves to-
promote, and until such agreement
can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved. All our
silver and paper currency now in cir
culation must be maintained at parity
with gold, and we favor all measures
designed to maintain irviolably the
obligations of the United States, and
all our money, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard
of the most enlightened nations Of
the earth" -......

St. Louis, June 1.-THE Republi
can National Convention cleared the
deck for action to-day. Two sessions
were held, one of an hour in the
morning and one of three hours il
the afternoon. The permanent or
ganization was effected and the per
manent Chairman, Senator John NJ
Thurston, of Nebraska, assumed the
duties of presiding officer at the
morning session, while the represen-
tatives of the Committee on Creden-
tials and Rules were received and
their report adopted at the afternoon
session. This leaves the battle royal
over the platform and the nomination
of candidates. 1t is probable that
the platform would also have been
disposed of tonight had it not been
that a night session would have in
terfered with the mammoth McKin-
ley parade previously arranged for
to night.
While the convention was proceed
ing with it's work, a dramatic scene
was being enacted in the Committee
on Resolutions. The group of West
ern silver men, headed by Senator
Teller, of Colorado, announced to
their colleagues when the gold plank
in the platform was agreed upon that
they had reached the parting of the
ways, and that nothing remained foI
them but to withdraw from the con-
vention. 1t was thought that there
would be violent denominations and
wild words of depunciation when the
final announcement of the break
came, but instead it was the parting
of old friends in sorrow, not in anger
The silver men felt themselves
swept on by an irresistible fate, and
with protestatious OF regret, they cast
the die. Speeches were made by
Senator Teller, who joined the Re-
publican party at its inception, and
who was an ardent supporter of Lin
coin, and who for twenty years has
represented his State in the Senate
of the United States as Republic
can, save two years in the Cabinet OF
President Arthur; Senator Dubois,
the handsome, stalwart young Sena-
tor from Idaho, whose father was
nominated for Secretary of State OF
Illinois by Abraham Lincoln; young
Senator Cannon, of Utah, whose faith
er was President of the Mormon
church, and Representative Hart
mann, the young, vigorous Congress-
man from Montana; Committeeman
Lennon, of California; Mott, OF
North Carolina, the son of DR.. Mott
the Secretary of the silver party, and
the delegates from New Mexico
Arizona and Oklahoma-all of whom
voted together in the committee.
The scene was most affecting
one. The gold men in The committee
