The Basis of Credit.

A mans past record, with but few
exceptions, should determine the ques-
tion of his eligibility for credit in the
future. If he has been slow pay in the
past, he will probably be slow pay in
his next purchases If he has been
prompt and satisfactory, he will likely
be the same again. AS an instance I
might mention a case which recently
came under my notice. A trader who
had gradually got to be slow and unsat-
isfactory was compelled to assign. His
failure was not due to any misfortune,
such as fire or flood, but seemed the
natural consequence of his incompetence
and lack of management. A wholesale
house which had been supplying him
lost heavily, but compromised, and as
he continued they still sold him, but on
80 days time. For awhile he promptly
attended to his payments, but after q
time he got slower and slower, and as
he was liberal buyer and his purchases
were allowed to accumulate he soon
owed bill far larger than his means
would warrant. AS this dragged along
for some years compromise was grant
ed upon this indebtedness also. Still he
clung to his old creditor and again Or
dered goods, promising to send the
money within 80 days. But his past
record was too much even for so lenient
a creditor. He was told plainly that he
would get no more goods on credit and
that if he ordered anything cash must
accompany the order in every case.
Now, man of this stamp is positive
detriment to man who pays his bills.
After thus being refused credit by the
old house he will try and get it else
where and no doubt will succeed. But
if his recoro is known it should be q
final answer to the question Of granting
him credit.

A WORD WITH HUSBANDS.

Give Your Wife Little Praise Once In
Awhile and See How 1t Works.
eff husbands only knew. cr, if know
ing, only cared. how very much their
words and manners affect the tempera-
ture Of the home world, they would
never by word or deed leave it en-
shrouded in gloom,'' argues Mrs. A.
M. Marriott in an article entitled
"Praise Your Wife" in Woman's Home
Companion. "To most wives the hus-
band is the sun around which every
thought revolves. There is scarcely an
instant in which his presence is not felt
as she goes about her work or even when
at rest. If she is preparing the meals,
the way John likes this or that or some
remark he has made about some article
of food is recalled to mind. If she looks
about her, she sees his hats and coats
hanging on the hooks, and the hats in
variably wear the same expression

he went away pleasant; if angry, a

still enough to obscure the sun in the
little world for many weary day, per-
chance, ere it is seemingly forgotten.

pay her husband over and over again
for kind, thoughtful treatment. He is
ready to call her childish, and she may

call little deeds of love or thought
fulness sown by his hand yield a certain
and abundant harvest. She may love
her home better than any other spot on
earth, yet she sometimes gets so weary
Of the daily routine Of never ending
duties that fall to her lot that she can
not help an occasional feeling Of envy
for those who have more time for recre-
alton, for going abroad, for all the little
things dear to the heart of every woman,
but which the stern hand of duty most
effectually debars her from enjoying.
Still, for all that, she would not for the
whole world exchange places even if
she could, with any other woman, leav-
ing home and John-dear old John-as
the price of her freedom from care.
eff your wife has been faithful and
true wife to you, tell her SO. Do not
think it lowers your manliness any to
let her know that she still has place
in your affections. She has toiled early
and late for you and your children,
through sickness and health, and self
denial has grown to be her motto. 1t
takes but little from her loved ones to
make her happy, SO do not begrudge her
a word of praise now and then as her
just reward, and Of far more value to
her starving heart than gold. There are
some things which money can never
buy, and wounds which it cannot heal,
but love levels all obstacles, overcomes

for single gold standard, wonld ii sue
cessful, produce widespread disaster in
the end throughout the world. The de-
struction of silver as money and estab
fishing gold as the sole unit of value
must have ruinous effect on all forms

which yield a fixed return in money
These would be enormously enhanced
in value, and would gain a dispropor

Since Mr.. Bryan resigned from the

show up and hold up to view the living

vas the inspiring leader and champion
Of free silver at IS to 1, aud polled 9, 6,502,.
925 vo'es
Already since leaving the army he has
aroused and lined up thought, declaring
tnat "the imperiaIistic idea is directly
antagonistic to the idea end ideals
which have been cherished by the
American people since the signing Of the
Declaration of Independence" He says
to that heretofore greed has perverted
and used its iDstrumental Interferences
for private gain; but now the very
foundation principles Of Our govern
ment are assaulted" And adds "this
nation cannot endure half republic and
half colony-half free and half vassal."
The imperialists hinge their claim
upon Mr.. Jefferson, but Mr.. Bryan
properly and happily says they "must
distinguish between expansion which
secures alien races for future subjuga'
ton"
As to the treaty, he favors getting
away from the danger of international
com plications, and so "end the war at
once by ratifying the treaty, and then
deal with the subj ect in our own way"
His idea is to do with Cuba as we
promised, establish stable government
there, and then "turn that government
over to the people of Cuba; and aso dc
the same with Porto Rico and the
Philippines, reserving in these islands
harbors aud coaling stations" 1t will
be admitted that Mr.. Bryan's words
command a tsntion and that he is 9

The word is that the Populist and free
silver senators have come to the conclu-
sion to vote to ratify the treaty, and
after that deal with the conquered pro-
vinces as Congress shall determine.
Mr.. Bryan has had something to do
in bringing about this conclusion. But
three senators are now actively oppos-
ing the treaty, namely, Senators Hale,
Morrill, and Uafiery. Senator Hoar has
abandoned his oppo sition.
Mr.. Bryan thinks we should permit
and aid the people in those conquered
possessions to establish governments
for themselves.
