Bicycles for Letter Carriers.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Postmaster Hes. ing, finding that few of the letter car riers who own and use bicycles can make better time over their routes than their companions, who walk and use street cars when occasion offers, has decided to ask the department to per init portion of the appropriation for car fare, which amounts to over S20, ,O0O a year, to help the carriers in the out lying districts to procure bicycles. It is not the intention of the post office authorities to purchase the wheels for the men, but to assist them in the pur- chase, the money to be finally returned to the government in installments.

 Financial Problem.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Ex-Speaker Reed is devoting his spare hours to an exhaustive study of the silver ques- tion. He is not studying one side of it., either. As opportunity has occurred recently Mir. Reed has engaged Mir. Bland in conversation and has prompted discussion in order to bring out the Missourian's views as to the immediate future of the issue. Sena- tor Quay believes that the tariff will be a secondary matter in the next presidential campaign, and that the financial issue will be the one on which t&e two parties will make their chief contention. SIr Reed does not go so far as Senator Quay, but he is giving a great deal sos thought to the money problem

It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
 Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in soc and s1 bottles, but it is man. ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

Free aR Air.

Although long and obstinately obstructed, tetter's Stomach Bitters is used to relieve and regulate them. Not that the great laxative operates unduly upon them. Quite the contrary. Neither does it cause gripping. In both these particulars it is preferable to violent cathartic. Use the Bitters for ma larial and rheumatic ailments, kidney trou- bic, biiousness, dyspepsia and nervousness.

neat and attractive appearance, aud
contains well written description of

city OF Brownwood. We take off our

his new venture and his adopted HON :.
To show the people OF our town and
county what can be done by industry
ami system Of cooperation and our
waste lands utilized and made to pro-
duce large profits to their owners can
be seen at a glance by looking at the
following prices: Strawberries per
quart 80 cents. Tomatoes per bushel
s.. Peas per bushel So to 4. Beans
per bushel 50 to 4. Potatoes per
bushel So so. These are the prices
for early vegetables now offered, Grated
and ready for shipping. These prices
are taken from letter received from
a commission merchant ordering us to
ship to him at above quotations. Any
one can see at q glance what can be
done in this industry by enough going
into the business to ship by the car
load, that large profits can be realized
by the raising of vegetables. We will
suppose that twenty or thirty persons
embark in this business and each one
plant, to start with, say, one acre to
strawberries, one to english peas,
beans. and same in Irish potates. this
would give enough to load a car of
each kind of vegetable at the time of
maturity and give money to each one
at a time it is most needed. and open
the eyes of those who are Flooding on
from year to year, getting poorer try
ing to raise cotton at starvation prices,
when there is demand for other
moneyed crops that our soil and eli
mate is more adapted to. We want to
find out how many men there are in
the county that are willing to organ
ize and go into this industry this falls
The way to do this, is to meet, form
clubs, talk the matter over and or
ganize for work and procure some
standard works on horticulture and
inform yourselves on the matter. We
should like to hear from some one on
this matter.

ly always that OF paying out most of
its net earnings as interest to more
populous communities.
During the last ten years the South
ern States have shown determination
to develop their resources to the ut
most and have borrowed money to do
1t. This was well enough for be-
ginning but unless poulation increases
it cannot fail to be u curse to the COM
munlty that borrows it. To realize
benefit instead of misfortune from bor-
rowed capital the South must increase
its population faster than it increases
the interests per capita on the popula-
ton it has already. Any other policy
will mean increasing slavery rather
than increasing prosperity. because 1t
/ will mean increasing labor accompan-
led by decreasings not earnings.
The lands of the South which are
now waste and idle will finally be cut
up into farms of from 10 to 40 acres,
and these farms under intense cultiya-
ton will yield more at less labor cost
than is now yielded by any 100 acre
farm in the country.
increasing population will mean
greater wealth greater freedom, great
er enjoyment of life. Whatever else
the South gets, let her get population.

The great need of the South,

The Southern States are recovering
from the effects of the depression OF
last year. and though business is not
as active as it was several years ago,
they are in a good position to take ad-
vantage of returning prosperity and
they will undoubtedly do it.
The South is less handicapped by
debt than the Northw est, but the
Northwest still has the great advan-
tags of receiving desirable immigre-
ton in steady stream, while the South
receives it only sporadically More
than it needs anything else, the South
needs population, because population
means production and the fullest pos
sible development not only of the in
tellectual resources but of the people
themselves.
1t is law OF population which has
worked in all ages that the intellectual
power of the people increases in the
ratio of its increase in numbers. The
highest civilization are concomitant
of the largest populations to the square
mile, and there is no surer sign of the
decadence Of people than decrease
in population continuing long enough
to show it is not due TO accidental
causes.
1t is also true that money accumu-
lates in the centers OF population; that,
other things being equal, the country
with the largest POPULATION will have
great advantage because OF the ten
dancy OF money in circulation to flow
towards the more thickly populated
locality and remain until the gravity
which carried it there is overcome by
stronger forces. No country with
scanty population can retain capital
except At great observation-disclosures
