Palace Dug store. has been dissolved,
W. P. Gulick retiring from the firm.

The loss of Mr.. Gulick from our bus

Palace will still continue to be one of
the popular drug stores of Abilene.

FLAX W. FREE TRADE.

Free traders have always claim
ed that q protective tariff was
injurious to, the farmers of the
northwest. A fine opportunity
is afforded to refute this since
the Mills tariff bill was made
public. One provision of the
bill is to place fax on the free
list. The greater portion of the
fax seed used in the United
States is grown in the northwest,
the annual crop. in Dakota, Min
nesots, Iowa Nebraska, amount
ing to $l2,OOO,o0o. This pro-
duet Is protected by an import
duty of 20 cents, which, if re-
moved as the free traders request
would lower the price just that
amount on the bushel. 1t is
hardly to be expected that north
western farmers will swallow
a free trade doctrine which
makes such a direct stab at one
OF their principal products.

Beunsr's Prophetic. for 1888.

Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer, who
has gained considerable notoriety through
the newspapers for his predictions OF
future events, and who few years ago
published small volume on the ups and
downs Of prices, which had great sale,
has now communicated his prophecies for
the year 1888, in which he says:
This year, 1888, being the closing year
in this cycle Of low prices--seren years
from l8Sl--is the golden opportunity "a
commence the foundation of business.
II there is any benefit to be derived from
knowledge OF these cycles In trade, II
will be In taking advantage of them.
"Young men who are about to COM
mence their business career should en-
brace their present opportunity. There
are but few of these chances in an or
dinary life. II requires about ten years
to complete an up and down in general
trade.
"When the depressions which follow
commercial crises reach their lowest limit,
as determined by these price cycles, they
afford the best opportunities for invest
ment, and the height OF speculative eras
are the most dangerous periods to make a
commencement In any enterprise.
"This is the opportunity for investors To
open q mine, 70 build q furnace, 10 erect a
mill. to build ship, 10 equip u railroad
and TO make investments In agricultural,
commercial and industrial operations.
