Count Mlrlinrh. vhn rrcscnlcil Ihn Itrsn- lullnn, Declares (lernuiuy Must Tnko Hip Initiative Count Herbert JtUiniirrk on tho (Juration. Berlin, I'eb. 15 Count Von Mlrlnch, Gor man Consetvatlve, Introduced a resolution In the relchstng to-ilny Inatitietlng the federal government", of Germany to Issue invitations for nn International mottetnrv congress, to take measures to bring about the rehabilitation of silver nn n circulating mcillum. Mlrbtch said that the moment boil now nrrlved for Germany to take the Initiative In settling this question, which Is of great Importance, lll-metalllsm would cause the rise of nil prices In" I'tiglnnd, where gold was the currency. Agrtciiltute would be ruined If the present ostein was maintained. America would cither absorb Germany's cold, or adopt a pure sliver ntnndard, and capture the whole Eastern trade. Other supporters of the resolution Indorsed the proposition, that Herman, had taken at the Paris monetiry con ference In 1&S3, namely, that the regarded ii n International nsreement upon a ratio be tween Bold and silver desirable. Dr. I. Theodore llaith, Genmn radical unionist, teald the lirussels conference had ptoved a llasco, nnd the conference hold In Germany In 1S3I was fruitless. There was little or no connection between the depies Flon In husbandry and the Introduction of he sold standard. Count Ilerbirt Hasmnrck said the failure of the Drupels conference was partly due to the ab-enco of nn entente between tho powers which took part In It. The Her iln congress of l&TS arrived at a result be cause Great Hiltaln and Russia had pre viously reached a basis for an .iBreement. An Intern ulonal entente upon the currency question would he arrived at In the course ot time, and In tho ense of Great Hrltaln the feeling was KrowInB in fnor of bi metallism. In conclusion, Count Herbert said: "It Elves me great pleasure to show how waimly my filend, lialfour, has taken up the cause In that country." Ilerr Schoenl.ink, Soeinl Democrat, con temled that the Introduction of bl-metalllsm would lead to a fall in the value of cur rency, and would promise nothhiB but a hopeless future to tho worklngman. Dr. I.Ieber, of the Center party, said the Centrists wIHInBly supported the meas ure, because they saw In the proposed con ference an attempt to remove the dlftlcul tles In regnrd to the monetary standard a question which was of 'paramount import ance to commerce. Cnnncollor von Hohonlohe declared he was Inclined to favoi.ible consideration for n proposal for nn interchaiiKe of views on tho subject with those states which were concerned in tho silver question. The de bate was then adjourned. OKLAHOMA COUNTY SEATS, BUI Allowing the Lcglslnturo to Settle Con troversies Hxiltcs n Variety of Opinions. "Washington, Teb. JG (Special.)

Tho most generally cxpres-ed opinion on the lit pub lican side Is that .inv effort to take up tho financial question will be futile, while Democrats generally expressed the belief that the action ot tho house would not control the moveinentb of tho sen ite In nny w.i). Senator Jones was outspoken In an nouncing his Intention to move to take up his unrestricted coinage bill befoie llnal adjournment, but would not undertake to s ly just when he will make the move Ho reiterated, however, that the niitl-sllver men would have to either nllow the ques tion to bo considered or lllllbustei (igiinst It It appears probnblo In view of the ex pieKSlons of some of the moie radical band advocates among the Republican senituis that the latter oouit-e would be lesnrted to If necessary to prevent a vote. The Mlvcr senators on both sides of the chamber semis to be uitlrely willing to test the strength of the uilvei question on the Jones bill, but there wore ludlcitlons that some of them might have opposed a vote In case the result In the hoiihe hnd been the other way Tho talk of ThurMlni for a two dais" debite next week and n vote on Tuesdaj ns been kept In nhejnnce and it Is sife to sav that the project will pot lie levlved and that If nny vote Is obtained It villi only he upon i-onie movement like that suggested by rienator Jones and not by unanimous consent, as was at first hoped The proh iblllties nre, therefoie, that some me ins will be found dm In,: the next two weeks nnd probably early next week to debate the fliinuelal question but that no vote will be i cached The bond men say, almost without exception, thnt In view of the notion of the house, It Is plain that no bond legislation Is prohibit! inn! that nctlon by the senalo would ba meanliiBleRs and a loss of time. It may be almost nuthoiltatlvely stated, however, that If Secretin y Carlisle desires a temporary expedient to provide for the lmniedlite wants of the treasury It will be grantee! in the shape of an amendment to the sundry civil bill providing for short time certificates of Indebtedness, This Is the utmost In tho way of tlnnnclal legisla tion that tho senate will ngiea to.

Nowadays tradinp; ir. so easy, made so here by the conven ient, handy and economical methods employed. You can come to the Storo and get about everything you need without jjointj out from under ihe roof of the big house. Isn't that making it easy for you to trade here? You're saved the annoyance of shop ping around, which, you know by experience, isn't pleasant, especially when there's slush or mud. Of course, if there was anything to be gained by this shopping around, we'd have nothing more to say, for then 'twould be a duty you would owe to yourself. But you know as well as we do that, quality compared with quality, prices are' always the lowest here. It's handy for you to trade here, in that you can find wo keep nearly all the various kinds and qualities exhibited before you, so that you can compare them side by side and determine in the most intelli gent way which to select. Then, too, you run no risk at all, for if your judgment should be wrong you can get your money back or get the amount you bought credited to your ac count if the goods be returned at once in a merchantable con dition. Tell us, is anything fairer than that? It's economical for you to trade here. Why i Because the small prices we mark upon our goods will enable you to get more for your money than you can possibly get for it any where else. You see, we buy direct from the maker we alone stand between you We have the outlet for large quan tities of merchandise and the makers know we pay cash for our goods. We buy and sell reliable goods and stand back of every transaction. Where else are you treated as liberally as that? Do you know of a store anywhere in the U. S. that extends to you or will ex tend to you 'guarantees of pro tection as liberally as we do here? The protection thrown mound each purchase, let it be ever so simple or ever so large, is a guarantee that the goods and the prices are right. Again, you've a big idvant age when you want to make selections to have a varietv of patterns, colorings and qualities to pick over aggregating as much, and often more, than the combined stocks of all the dry goods stores put together in our city. We are writing this to show you why you should trade here (if you're not already doing so). We believe every reader of this is interested in making the dollars he or she has to spend go as far as possible. Wo don't believe that you would knowingly pay a cent more for an article than it is worth, and we don't mean you shall. It is right, it is a duty you owe to yourself to buy for as little as you can any article your wants demand. Did you ever hear of anyone trying to see how lit tle they could get for their money? No, but how much, and that's why you should come hero and look for yourself be fore spending a cent for any thing. EMERY, HIRD, THAYER & CO., SlffLSSOltS TO T-
