TRADE TOPICS.
r. G. Dun Il Co.'s Trade Review for
the Past Week.

r. G. Dun & 90. review Of trade
for the past week says:
"There are some changes for the
better. The gain is slow and in some
directions not very distinct, but the
signs of it are little more definite
than last week. The most important
of them is larger employment of labor,
answering better demand on the
whole for manufactured products.
Much of this is due to the unnatural
delay of orders for the winter, which
resulted from long-prolonged uncer-
tainty, but it means actual increase III
earnings and purchasing powers of
the millions, and SO gives promise of
a larger demand in the future. Prices
of farm pre- ducts in the aggregate do
not improve, but the prevailing hope
fulness is felt in somewhat lnrger trans
actions.
"There is no improvement in tue
demand for commercial loans and
money still drifts to New York, scarce
ly any now going south, and mona,
west.
"Textile industries have added few
factories to the working list, against
only one or two Withdrawn, and there
has been improvement in the demand
for woolens. More supplementary or
ders for spring have been received and
colder weather has increased the de-
mand for heavy goods. Yet on the
whole the market is not active and the
manufacture is much below the ca
pacity of works.
''Prices of cotton goods are more
irregular, and some have declined,
while print cloths have advanced a
shade. Cheap cotton causes much
dullness.
''Thc shoe industry leads ali others
in approaching full production. The
iron industry again records lower
prices for bessemer iron-$10.40 at
Pittsburg-and for some manufactured
products. The consumption is large
and for the season we'll maintained,
but as it is not equal to the capacity
of works in operation their struggle to
get business keeps prices at the bot
tom. 1t is reported that an American
ship yard had secured orders to build
three armored cruisers for Russia,
which will give added work for some
years, and that a contract for 10000
tons of cast pipe for Tokio will probs-
bly, be secured by a southern concern.
1.-THE failures for two weeks of No
vember have been moderately large in
amount, reported liabilities being
Sc, 500, 1906, of which 81, 713.4 G6 were
of manufacturing and 1882, 291 OF
trading concerns. For the same week
last year the liabilities were over
$7,2OO,OOO. The failures this week
have been 1922 in the United States,
against 385 last year and 81 in Canada,
against 81 last year"

Home and Farm believes that the
greatest MD to success in farming is
cheaper production. This means that
the crops should be increased by the
use of fertilizers in order to decrease
the cost Of the labor. The larger the
crop The lower the expense and the
greater the profit.

WANTED INGERsOLL ARRESTED
He Lectured at Cincinnati and
Aroused the Ministers.

Bob Ingersoll delivered lecture at
Cincinnati few days ago and made
light as usual of the dogmas of the
Bible. At the Methodist ministers
meeting Wednesday morning, the
Rev. Paul @. Curnick, of st. Pauls
church, Sprinfeld, o., declared that
it was disgrace to Cincinnati that It's
authorities should not have permitted
Ingersoll to talk, laugh and scott at Je-
hovah. He thought the Ministers
Association ought to take immediate
steps towards swearing out warrant
for Ingersoll's arrest on the charge of
blasphemy. The Rev. NJ. Yillatte said
in reply that no did not believe in the
suppression of free speech. Besides
they could not get jury in Cincinnati
to convict Ingersoll on any sueH
charge.

accident last Sunday afternoon. He
had been to Micanopy and was on his

from here, and sat down upon the rail
to rest, it is supposed, and fell asleep,
when the south bound passenger train
due here at 4 :55 p. M, came along and
being unable to stop in time, knocked
him off, He died within half an hour
after being struck. In the mean time,
however, he was picked up by the
train men and CARED to Boardman,

KEY WEST, FLA, Nov. 16, 1894.
The Equator-Democrat on yesterday
temporarily suspended publication.
FIRST. Since Mr.. Caldwell sold his
interest it has been run by stock
company, composed of former en-
ployes and editorial attaches of the
paper, the plant being owned by c. B.
Pendledon. This copartnership has
neither proved profitable or satisfacto-
ry, and to collect outstanding debts in
the first place, and to make an equita-
Bile division, this step has beer deter
mined upon.
SECONDLY In order TO conduct the
paper as the owner desires and wishes,
many important changes, and some
necessary repairs to machinery are
necessary which cannot be satisfacto-
rily done here and some delay is inn
peratively required. AS you know, the
Equator-D Democrat has been an iDipor-
tant factor in Key West for sixteen
years, it was the first, and for many
years the only daily, and it has out
lived a score of rivals, and Will outlive
many more. Key West could as well
afford to lose another big factory as for
it to go ABROAD that the Equator DEM
ocrat had ceased to live. 1t would be
too sad commentary upon the prog
ress and enterprise of our people.
Subscribers and advertisers are re-
quested to promptly pay outstanding
bills to date, SO an equitable settle-
ment can be made.
Advertisers are also requested to
wait for the resumption of the paper,
when all contracts will be carried out
and they are assured that they will
lose nothing by the change, as the pa
per will be so much improved that
they, as we'll as our subscribers, will
appreciate the change.
/ will assume active editorial and
financial management of the paper
from this on.
Yours respectfully

0vnar TN1ffor and Founder.

Election Of Senators by Popular Vote.

The present mode of election virtu-
ally DISTINGUISHES all the counties in
which the party which il dominant in
the legislature does not control. Take
state in which either party has only
small majority in the legislature on
joint ballot. In such state half the
counties containing possibly one half
the voters of the dominant party, are
completely DISTINGUISHED. Nay, more; ;
as the choice is usually by caucus, one
half OF the dominant majority, COM
ing from one-fourth the counties, Sc
lect the senator. The parties being us
ually nearly equal at the polls, the
members of the legislature who cast
the votes of those counties may thus
represent less than one-eighth of the
voters of the STATE. Such a system is
not democratic. That it readily lends
itself to manipulation and to the in
fluence or corporate and plutocratic
influences would be apparent, even if
the world was not advertised of the
fact by that lnanswerable teacher
experience. But, it is argued, that
the legislature represents the state.
But SO do the governor and the judici-
airy, and even more fully, since they
must be chosen by majority of the
voters of the whole state, while not
unfrequently the majority of the legis-
lature is chosen by minority of the
voters of the state. Yet who would
be content to have the senators APP
pointed by the judges of the state?
Another objection to the senate as
now elected is that while one-third of
the body is renewed every two years,
this affects only two-thirds of the
states. In each of the states there is
always four years in which change
of an advance in public sentiment has
no chance to make itself felt. This
should be remedied by reducing the
senatorial term to four years, so that
one senator in each state shall be elect
ed every two years. There can be no
reason why senator should be elected
for six years and the president for
four. The six years term was an ex-
pertinent. 1t has proven too long. 1t
is too long to trust the average public
man where temptation to err is so
great. He thinks that in six years his
offense will be forgotten--Walter
Clark, Associate Justice of Supreme
Court of North Carolina, in the Arena.

DECEMBER 10TH TO 18TH.
GRAND HOLIDAY OPENING AND
DISPLAY
At the t)cala Commercial and Bazaar
Company.

II
December 10th to 18th is the time
when the public is invited to inspect
the magnificent opening and display
of holiday goods of the above named
firm such as has never before been at.
tempted in this city.
Under Frank p. Gadson's able man
agement the Bazaar has become an in
stitution of Ocala-a pronounced sue
cess-and to his excellent taste and
correct judgment in the selection OF
the general stock, and particularly
holiday goocs,.is this pleasant state OF
affairs largely due in that thriving
line of commercial transaction. The
past holiday displays have excited in
terest and attracted much attention.
The opening and display Of 1894 will
far surpass anything of the kind ever
attempted. Their stock of
CHINA GOODS
will prove leading feature. Variety
and designs are almost confusing, so
great is their display just what hun
dreds will desire to make little forget
me-notp presents to friends. They
will be useful as well as ornamental
cups, saucers, tea aud dinner sets,
vases, jars, jugs. statuettes and other
articles of value desirable in this line.
Every mother who expects to buy
a doll for her children must see the
STORE HOUSE FULL OF DOLLS
to appreciate its immensely.
Another leading feature in this ex-
tensiye establishment will be the OPP
portunity of schools and churches to
buy their supplies and decorate their
Xmas trees with every imaginable
variety of
JAPANESE GOODS,
flags, bunting and streamers, at whole
sale prices. The last three words are
worth treasuring in your memory.
They Will gain additional significance
to every man or woman on committee
who have holiday presents to buy and
trees to decorate and presents to dis
pense. Your money will go farther at
the Bazaar in this particular than any
place in town.
In speaking of this splendid holiday
display we must not forget to mention
the excellence of the general stock of
the Bazaar, consisting of dry goods,
jackets, hats, ribbons, notions, shoes,
stationery and their ever drawing
RACKET DEPARTMENT,
where, on their and 10 cent counters,
will be found thousand articles
needed every day in every family in
the country, and. the only place in
town where they can be secured and
for half the money they are generally
sold at. But time and space calls a
halt, which the Banner requests its
readers to do when they come to Ocala
TO invest in holiday purchases, and by
doing SO they are certain to do their
buying at the Ocala Commercial and
Bazaar Co., over which F. p. Gadson,
general manager, presifies.
r. S.The most courteous attention
vouchsafed every caller. No trouble
to show goods.

For Our PopuIist Friends.

/ We intended to write an article sim
liar to the one we here embody, but as
this one seems to cover the whole
ground we use it instead. It is from
the Texas Farmer. The place of the
populisis party Of Florida like the
place of thepopulist party of Texas is
with the reform wingn of the demo-
cratic party. We commend the arti-
Gle to their thoughtful and prayerful
consideration:
| Texas Farmer has not covered the faults of
/ leading democrats in Texas. This paper has
never denied, and does not now deny, that the
patriotism and political honor of many of them
could be improved upon, while their selfshness
and greed for Office have almost come to
| head" Neither has this paper been wanting in
candor when writing about populist leadera. It
is well acquainted with the characters of most of
them-and more moss Recovered set OF fossil
| lied Office hunters and cranks can scarcely be
found Texas Farmer has had but little to say
of the republican leaders in Texas for the reason
that the party has not the strength here to make
| criticism necessary.
Now. however, the election is over and severe
criticisms are no longer needed. Texas Farmer
wants to ask its populist friends wherein has
their policy been beneficial either to themselves
or the states You have nothing to show for your
arduous toll in the political field. If the state
has suffered at any point by electing bad men,
you more to blame than any other element
not that you voted for the bad man, but because
you, honest in your convictions that we need re-
form, cast your vote where it was nullity, when
you should have, in convictions and at elections
| been identified with the reform forces of democ-
racy; that is, unless you republican in priu-
| ciple.
The corporation politicians and paid daily
They know that the great political fight is to
come in 1896. They will do all in their power to
| induce you TO remain with the pops, and thus
cripple democratic reform. Take a sober view
of the election just closed. Did not your leaders
sow wind-great cyclones of it 4 Have you not
reaped whirlwind of defeat and modification
Don't you know it will be ever thus? Can you
| not get sense enough in your 'noggins" to know
| new parties never succeeded permanently The
combined money power used to try the third
party folly, but, ever acute to learn they aban-
doned that programme, and now undertake to
control the party in power-and It matters not to
them what party it may be. One of their favor
lite strategies is to disgust the people that they
will commit the folly of going into new parties.
Can't you see your folly in falling into the traps
they lay for you? If you are patriot adopt
common sense plan to aid in suppressing the
evils which all but fools know to be abroad in
commerce, society, politics and religion.
