NONFY-M0RE MONEY.

Elsewhere in this issue will b.
found an ably written and well con
sidered article on the financial prob
lem of the day from the pen of DR.
w. B. Radford. 1t is well worth
reading. 1t will give you something
| to think about.
The suggestions made by DR.. Rad
ford are logically handled. But
they will not suit the silver men,
They will not suit the gold men
The fact is, the doctor wants green
backs and plenty of them. And
why not We would like to have a
good batch of greenbacks ourselves.
One mistake the doctor makes in
his article is to speak of silver dol
lars being of one hundred cents in
trinsic value. Not so, however.
And that's what's the matter with
our silver dollars They carry the
motto, "In God We Trust" But
they also carry lie on their face.
They are marked zone dollar" and
they pass as such, but there is not
dollars worth of silver in 'em.
However, we won't quarrel with
the doctor. We want more money
and we hope his article will solve
the problem.
If any of our readers think they
know more about the money ques-
tion than DR.. Radford does, they are
welcome to try their hands through
these, columns. But q word of warn
ing:e- If you tread on DR.. Radford's
corns-if you try to explode his the
ories-watch out, for he is loaded
and will hit back. Who wants to
fight money duel with him?

A NEW YEAR SUGGESTION

The New Year is approaching.
The season for new resolves and the
turning over Of new leaves is here.
Florida farmers should make at
least one New Year resolution and
adhere to it,. It would prove of
great value to them. 1t is this:
Resolve TO abandon the one crop and
credit system. Howl By raising a
judiciOus assortment Of farm supplies
and paying cash for everything you
buy. If yOn cannot pay cash, do with.
out until You can.
This may prove hardship at the
start. Perhaps for the first year it
may pinch you tighter than you
have been accustomed to. It may
seem unhandy to put in practice
But stick to it. Push bravely for.
ward and deny yourself all the little
useless luxuries. In the end, after
having pushed bravely through the
food of self-sacri6ce, you will find
that you have surmounted the diff
culties that beset You in the begin
ming. Then indeed will you have
achieved great victory.
Press forward, ever keeping voul
new resolve in your minds eye
Soon the shackles OF debt will fal
from your now fettered limbs ani
| you will find yourself and family
happier and more contented. You
will have money in your pocket.
and your barns and smoke. houses
will be we'll filed.
The credit system must go
Farmers must diversity their crops
No country can prosper as long q
all The money made il sent to othel
countries for something to eat.
Raise your something to eat y
home. Raise plenty Of Il. Have
enough 10 feed your family veil AM
| plenty to sell. That The road 4
success which the FloIjd6 farmer
mast follow.

WHgD FOR b OTERNOR

Only ) few more days Of 1891
remain on the calendar to be chalked
Of. Soon 1892 the rip-roaring
campaign year will be here. And
already, thus early, is the question
being asked, who shall we run fol
governor in 1892?
Professional politicians have al
ready begun to work with consider
able vim, cutting up kindling wood
to pile around the political pot. Il
has not begun to boil yet, but it is
simmering and spluttering and will
doubtless come to q steady boil early
in the spring.
Well, perhaps it is best to look
over the field and canvass the merits
of the many who are being'thus early
mentioned as possible gubernatorial
candidates. Out of the lot we ought
certainly secure one who will make
Florida good governor:
As usual, that periodical para
graph relative to South Florida being
entitled to the governorship has
made it's appearance. That's all
right. The FLoR1DA1N has no objec-
ton to South Florida man. If
South Florida will center upon some
good man the FLoRIDIAN will cheer
fully support him. So will the dele
gates from East, West and Middle
Florida.
The other portions of the state are
willing to stand aside and let South
Florida come to the front if she will
agree upon who she wants and not
rot out two or three candidates at
;he very start. If South Florida
will get together, and pull together,
The will win this time. But if her
delegates wont pull together, then
he must expect the plum to 60 to
ome other division of the state.
There is plenty of good timber in
south Florida to select from. Judge
i. L. Mitchell of Tampa has been
mentioned in this connection. He
vould fill the gubernatorial chair
With. honor. But will all the South
Florida delegates support him!
That remains to be seen.
Then there is Hon. JEFF Browne OF
Key West. He has been frequently
mentioned as q possible candidate. |
3ut can he carry the South Florida
delegation? -
There are several others who have
'een spoken Of As good guberna-,
orial timber. Among them are
don. X. w. Davis, Hon. John F.
Dunn, Maj. Geo. R. Fairbanks, Hon. |
John L. Crawford, Hon. James E. |
3roome and others.
Surely outiof all this good material
md the many others whose names
AVE not yet been mentioned if ought
o be an easy matter when the con-
vention meets next summer to select
me who will suit all factions.

A Man who Eats Glass.

According to the Charleston World,
the driver Of car on one Of the street
railways OF that city is a confirmed glass
eater. The driver, although small,
spare man, appears to enjoy perfect
health, and his glass diet, while it may
not be very nourishing, does not appear
to have been very hurtful up to the
present.
