81. .CRAWFORD'S PLATFORM
The Ex-Governor Speaks Plainly on
the Issues of Today.


Washington, April 6.-EX- Governor
Samuel J. Crawford of Kansas suggests
a platform which in his Judgment
would meet the approval of the people
and conform to the best interests Of
the whole country.
1t runs as follows:
F'irst-An honest, sound. healthy
protective tariff
Second-ReciprOcity
Third-Free coinage of silver. the
same as gold. is TO I.
Fourth-The retirement of all Uni
ted States notes (greenbacks). treas
ury notes gold certificates and silver
certificates, and issuance in lieu there
of of full legal tender United Staes
notes, redeemable in coin
Under our present financial policy"
says AIr Crawford, almost every dol
lar of gold is owned by few people
and locked up in vaults for speculative
purposes. And the same is substan-
TALLY true of gold certificates and the
greenbacks. They have all been with
drawn from circulation by spectators
and the result is known and keenly
felt in almost every household
'If it is honest, sound money that
these honest single gold standard peo-
pie want, why do they not demand hon
est paper money, redeemabIe in coin
instead of gold certificates, and silver
certificates, treasury notes, deprecated
greenbacks and national bank notes ?
Why not have gold, silver and fun le-
gal tender United States notes. each
convertible into the other at the option
of the holder2
Then, with free coinage, the volume
Of circulation would be increased as the
business of the country Increases, and
we should have money sufficient to en-
ploy the labor"

sorts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
lightly directed. There is comfort in
he knowledge that SO mMny forms Of
ickness are not due to any actual dis,
.ase, but simply to conatipated condi-
ION of the system, which the pleasant
Amily laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompts
" removes. That Is why il is the only
yemedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who valce good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. It's therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tivcs or other rcmediesarc not needed.

MARKET LETTER
Furnished the Ardnorelte Daily By n.
B. Beer Of New orIeans-An later
eating Cotton Statement.


Thursday, Dec. "a, 20.
Dear Sir-As Liverpool was
about what was expected, our
market opened / TO , points
lower, but Immediately after adj
vaneed 5 points on shorts COW
ering,Eowing to the holidays.
Subsequently, prices eased off
on the heavy receipts and clos
ed about unchanged from yes
terday's quotations.
The market remains quiet
and operators are doing little,
as they are awaiting develop
ments relative to the probable
outturn of receipts after the
holidays. Many believe in n
sharp falling off, while others
are of the opinion that the
movement will be normal. The
majority of farmers, we are in
formed, are holding back in an
ticipation of receiving higher
prices after January /, and this
may have a tendency to curtail
the movement during the early
part of next month. If, how
ever, no advance takes place,
we believe the receipts will be
rather free, and no decided
change will be realized. OF
course, it will all depend on
movement and trade demand,
but nevertheless, there seems
to be an undercurrent growing
in favor of cotton, based on the
theory that present prices are
not dear, irrespective of the
size of the crop.
Tomorrow Christmas and
the day following, are close hol-
idays not only here, but in Liv-
erpool and New York as well,
consequently as all the ex-
changes will be closed. there
will be no business done here
on the curb, en- either of the
above days.
Again wishing you the com
pliments of the season, we are,
Yours very truly,
