ADVERTISING HINTS!

Fall Is upon us now, the genuine, crisp
autumnal weather, and those retailers
who have stocked their stores with a
choice line Of fall goods should say SO;
they should advertise the fact and 9ot the
people know they are carrying the very
latest things in the proper season. IL
they are wide-awake and up-to-date, they
won't wait Till after election to. do this,
they Will DO il now, and take advantage
of the fact that reaoers are perusing the
columns of the local dailies with more
than usual care, on account OF the Presi-
Dental campaign news.
Under the existing circumstances, 1t
is safe TO predict that Mckinley will be
elected on November 3, that business
will revive and that prices will experi-
ence a rise. Ali this can be used as an
advertising argument-point it out In
plausible, convincing manner, ond then
60 about urging the reader 20 take ad-
vantage Of the present rock bottom prices
and economize while the chance is Of
fered. This can be done, and done pret-
tily, IL has been successfully tried before,
so il you have failed 20 place your sad" J"
try 1t now and be- convipced. u.

To be sure 1t is not a very large nor yet
a very important point, except that the
plain fact of unity mid distraction gives
it peculiar prestige. The point is the

Will You and Your Followers Take Free
Coinage Internationally?

Mr.. William J. Bryan and the other
gentlemen named or any other advocate
of free silver coinage is now challenged
to answer these questions:
First If those who now oppose you
will support you in legislation for OPEN
ing the mints of the United States to
the free coinage Of silver bullion at the
ratio of 16 to /, coupled with repeal
of the legal tender provision by which
these dollars are now given forced cir
culation, will you accept that measure?
If you do not accept, then
Second. lis not your advocacy OF the
free coinage of silver bullion at the ratio
Of l6 to l wholly insufficient for your
purpose3
Third. DO you not intend to main
tain an act Of legal tender under which
you and your supporters intend to force
the people Of this country to accept
standard silver dollars at the ratio OF
sl.20 in gold whether you succeed or
not in raising the bullion value OF sill
yer TO that price in goldY
To Mr. Bryan certain questions must
be put in yet moro distinct terms You
have been conspicuous advocate OF
personal liberty and Of free trade In
goods. On what ground do you and your
supporters propose to deprive the people
of this country of free trade or free
choice in money? On what ground do
you deny the right Of private contract?
On what ground do YOU propose to de-
prive tho workman, who cannot wait,
but must make contract for the future
payment of wages, of the right to de-
mand good money made Of gold or
money which will buy the greatest
quantity Of goods in this or any other
countryi BY what right and on what
ground do you force any one TO take sill
YER dollars ut tl.29 whether their bull
lion value is cqnal TO that or not?
In other words, the writer does not

supports the free coinage of silver Mt l6

The Truth About That Crime.

There was not only nothing secret
or surreptitious in the passage Of the
aot of 1878, but every step accompany
ing its origin. introduction. considera-
ton and passage received as much pub
lioity us could be given to bill. But
the silver dollar was out Of circulation
long before the law of 1873 was euact-
ed. 1t was thing Of the past, lost to
sight, conceived by Hamilton in 1902,
suspended by Jefferson in 1906, prac-
tically demonetized by Benton and the
men of 1884 under Andrew jackson, ig-
nored by two generations, except as
convenience for the expectation of silver
bullion, and called back TO the mind Of
the present generation only because sill
yer has fallen in price and is deemed
more valuable as coin than as bullion.

Why Gold and silver Are Valuable.

The assertion that the value of gold
and silver is derived from their use as
money is putting the cart before the
horse. They are used rs money because
they are valuable, and are not valuable
because they are used rs money. Legis-
lation can no moro add TO their value or
diminish it than il can add TO or dimin-
ish the value of copper and iron. .-Ex.

FROM THE PULPIT.
Appeals For Honesty, Mutual Confidence
and Restored Prosperity.

Appeals For Honesty, Mutual Confidence
and Restored Prosperity.
National prosperity will come back
when confidence comes back, and confi-
dence will come back when tho nation
gets its feet out Of the quagmire and
back on to granite. You may have just
such opinions as you please touching
tho present situation. They will not af-
feet the pertinency of our illustration.
Traffic not only, but all the relations OF
our great commercial life are conducted
on the credit system-that ia to say,
they are conducted on system OF mu-
tual confidence, and today that mutual
confidence does not exist. That Is the
secret of our disquiet and the material
of our anyieties. And attempts are be-
ing made, deliberate and hot blooded,
to crush out all lingering remains OF
that mutual confidence, and such pro-
cedure dare to brand in this pulpit Of
God as thoroughly false TO the spirit OF
the gospel aud aocursedly reasonable
to our collective interest and national
destiny. Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst.
When the Wilson bill appeared. it
injured or destroyed many forms Of in
dustry, and this added, fuel to the fire.
Labor was thrown out Of employment,
and buying was curtailed, failures null
tiplied, exports decreased. the govern
ment debt grew apace and we were
plunged into commercial chaos. The
second cause Of hard times was the agi-
tation for free silver and the changing
Of our money standard Whatever conf
dence remained was utterly shattered
by this wild talk. and no Improvement
can take place till after election. Peo-
pie 90 not know whether dollar will
be worth 100 cents or 80 cents or half
way between, and until they do know
they will keep their dollars under lock
and key. Trade will be PROSTATE until
we are beyond the possibility of fluc-
tuating currency. Now, do we want any
more of this wretched work? prophesy
that, if the advocates Of free silver should
triumph next election day, between No
yember aud March there will be the
most terrific panic this country has ever
known, and in this turmoil the laboring
classes will fare the worst. We want no
experiments in finance. A victory for
sound money will mean returning con-
fidence, renewed enterprise and general
prosperity. REV. John l.. Scudder.

Victorin's Descendants,

From the Geutlewoma1.
laborious genealogist announces. as the
result of years Of minute labor, that the
queen has had nine children. Of whom she
mas lost two; forty-one grandchildren, of
whom eight have died: and twenty-t three
great-grandchildren. all Of whom are liy-
ing. She has, therefore, sixty-three de-
scendants lving-seven children, thirtv-
three grandchildren and twenty-three of
the next generation. Her next eldest great
grandchild, the Princess Feodore of Sake
Meiningen, is now nearly seventeen, so that
In all probability her majesty will live to
see her grandchildrens grandchildren. Few
English sovereigns before Queen Victoria
nave seen grandchildren grow out of in
Iancy; and none ever saw great-grand-
child. Hence. her majesty had to deter
mine the question of presidency in the
case OF the Duchess of Flies children, and
she wisely decided that they should rank
only as daughters of duke
Ihls decision was in accordance with a
mouse law decreed earlier in the reign nv
which the title of prince and royal high
ness Is limited to the children of the SOW
ereign, and the children of the soyereign's
sons the children OF the sovereign's daugh-
tiers taking precedence only according to
the rank of their fathers. Thus the Prin-
cess Helena's children rank as children of
Prince Christian only, while the Duke of
Connaught's are royal highnesses; and
Prince Arthur Of Connaught's son and sue
cessor, If he has one. will be the Duke of
Connaught as an ordinary duke taking
precedence merely by date Of the creation
OF his dukedom. This is now the case of
the Duke of Cumberland on the roll of the
mouse OF lords, though he fs styled royal
highness as son of king of Hanover

A Smoking Monkey.

From the Westminster Budget.
In May 1860. when her majesty's steam
er Octavia was on her way home from the
East Indian station, where she had been
flagship for three years, we met her in
Slmon's bay, and 1 went on board to dine
with an old scboolfellow, one of her lieuten-
ants. After dinner we went up on the main
deck to smoke, and 1 was introduced to
Jenny. a pet monkey. An old nautical
superstition Is, used to be- that monkeys
could talk IL they liked, but would not be-
cause if they did they would be made to
work. The Octavia's monkey was an adept
at smoking, and. regret to say, a confirm
ed dr1nker of grog whenever she got the
opportunity. No sooner was the pipe '.grog''
sounded than Jenny was lowering near the
tub. In the course of conversation my frienl
said: "Oh, / want to show you a photo In
my cabin. Here, Jenny, keep my pipe go
Ing! Jenny took the pipe. We were below
for quite five minutes, If not more. and when
we returned to the main deck Jenny was
squatted against the gun tackle calmly puff
ing, exhaling and inhaling the smoke from
the pipe which had been intrusted to her
care. and the pipe was fully alight and
drawing beautifully when the owner retook
1t, and stroked Jenny's face. What became
OF 1t can't exactly remember, but I have
an Idea that she was presented to the zoo
logical gardens, but fell victim to our
climate shortly afterward.
