Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effeetually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t 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 81 bottles, but it is man.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
CONDITIONS STILL CON
TINUE IRREGULAR.
Kaffir Collapse Abroad and Possible United
States Bond Issue Have Operated to Our
Wheat Exports Heavy
Government Crop Report.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-R. G. DUN &
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
The scare about gold exports had no
real significance, and, although 81, 250,-
600 will go out to-day, the stock mar
ket has been recovering There was
and is a substantial cause of difficulty
in the fact that exports of products
have been too small to meet the
greatly increased imports of merchan-
disc. The collapse of Kaffir specula-
tions abroad has forced many to
realize on Americans held, and the
impression that our government may
have to borrow again also operates to
our disadvantage. But there is no
local disturbance of money markets.
The government monthly crop re-
port has caused, as usual, rather more
uncertainty as to its Interpretation
than previously existed as to crops.
Wheat perplexes the oldest inhab-
liant. There is really little reason to
expect yield larger than last years,
but Western receipts of o,2O2, S64 BUSH
els, against 4,026, $50 last year, do not
mean scarcity of wheat. Probably
it is true that the attempt to induce
farmers to keep back their wheat in
July has ended, as usual, in much big
ger sales at lower prices in November,
and prices have now declined so far
that for the first time in many months
Atlantic exports exceed those of year
ago, having been for two weeks flour
included) 3,26O,35 bushels, against
3,193, Ill last year. The decline, near
ly one cent. is not much, but does not
mean confidence in renewed advance.
Corn is scarcely lower. but without
che aid of the government report all
know that the supply will largely ex-
coed all home and foreign demands.
Lead is decidedly weak on account
OF foreign consumption, and is quoted
at $3. 1712. The wooden manufa cturer
has to meet the year with two diff
culties, the remarkable demand for
clay worsteds, which has encouraged
an advance of 10 per cent In price, and
the heavy import of wooden goods,
which have amounted for nine months
of the current year to 50, 456, 420
pounds, against 12.907, 06S last year,
and 30, 30J, 44j in the same months of

IN NO SHAPE FOR WAR.
ADMIRAL WALKER ON OUR
COAST DEFENSES.
Agrees With General Miles That We
Need More Coast Defenses and More
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Talk of War in
Our Present Condition.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Admiral
Walker adds his testimony to that of
General Miles concerning the weak
ness OF the government coast defenses.
Il am good American said he,
but l cannot shut my eyes to cold
facts. We are not prepared to-day to
engage in war with any first class
power. We are in the position that
China occupied in her recent struggle
with Japan. We have vast popula-
ton, great wealth. boundless resources
and endless patriotism, but we cannot
maintain an offensive or defensive at
titude against any one of half dozen
foreign countries. What General
Miles says about the defenseless con-
dition of our coast cities is entirely
correct It is true that New York and
San Francisco are better protected
than our other commercial cities, but
even they would be helpless against
the assaults of a dozen powerful
iron clads. So far as the re-
naming cities are concerned they
have no protection whatever.
congress ought to make liberal
appropriations for coast defenses, and
for additional ships of war; More
than anything else we need a strong
navy. 1t we had a dozen battleships
o. the Indiana class on the Atlantic
coast we could defy as powerful a
maritime country as Great Britain.
We have now four battleships build
ing and two others have been appro-
priated for We need at least seven
more. With anything like a fair sys-
tern OF coast defenses we would be be-
yond the proba biiities of war. There
would be no more Corinto incidents:
no more talk of foreign aggressions on
American soil. The United States
would be pre-eminent on the American
continent. The greatest preventive
against war is to be fully prepared
for it. -

TANNER TO THE FRONT.
The Illinois Republican Leader May Yet

The Illinois Republican Leader May Yet
Become Governor and Then Senator.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-It is current
gossip here to-day among Illinois Re-
publicans that the goal of John R.
Tanner, the Illinois Republican leader,
is the United States Senate, where he
will sit beside his political patron,
Senator Cullom. If Tanner is elected
Governor it is expected that
he will be chosen Senator to succeed
Palmer, and for this reason there is
more than the usual interest taken in
the name of the prospective nominee
for lieutenant governor. In the SEN
ate, Tanner, it is said, would take his
place with the silent statesmen" like
Quay, Murphy and Cameron, who take
little or no stock in speech making,
but pull wires with alacrity. 1t is one
of his political characteristics to leave
speech making exclusively to others.
