The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy us a medi-
cinal agent, and of the COmpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling "a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of a laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

choice of president isf Do you know
that as the law Is now, without the pas
sage Of any free coinage of silver law at
all, II is in the power of the president of
the United States to bring the business Of
this country to silver basis? All he has
to do is to let the gold reserve go, to pay
out silver when men ask for gold and we
are there already. 1t is only because the
presidents of the United States that we
have had and the one we have now have
regarded IL under the law as his public
duty to maintain the gold basis, maintain
ing that parity between our silver and
gold coins which the law declares is the
policy of the government and because he
has had the courage TO execute the powers
given TO him by the resumption act to
carry out that declaration of public law,
that our money is good as Id

SOME TALK ON FREE SILVER.
Says 1t Is Not Demanded Because We
Need More Money.

Says II Is Not Demanded Because We
Need More Money.
The silver question what is it? Do we
want silver because we want more
money-a larger circulations l have not
heard anyb dy say so. Mr.. Bryan Is not
urging IL on that basis II any one were
to seek TO give that IA reason for want
ing free silver he would be very soon con-
founded by the statement that free silver
would put more gold out of circulation
than the minis of the United States could
possibly put in in years of silver, and that
instead of having more money we would
have less. Applause. With cur six
hundred and odd millions of gold driven
out Of circulation we will reduce the per
capita money of this country between
eight and nine dollars. So 1t Is not for
more money. We have an abundant sup
pig of circulating menium-gold, silver,
national bank paper, greenbacks, treasury
notes, fractional silver.
We have something like S23 per capita
of our population. What is 1t then that
creates this demand for silver? 1t is openly
evowed: 1t is not more dollars, but
cheaper dollars that are wanted. 1t Is a
lower standard of value that they are de-
manding They say gold has gone up un-
til it has ceased to be proper standard Of
value and they want silver. But how do
they want itS Now, my friends, there Is
a great deal Of talk of bimetallism, Of the
double standard. and great deal of con-
fusion in the use Of those terms. Bimet-
allism Is the use OF the two metals as
money, where they are both used. BY a
double standard they mean that we have
"a gold dollar and silver dollar which
shall be units of value by which all prop
erty and all wages and everything Is to be
measured.
Now, our fathers thought that when
they used these two metals in coinage
they must determine the intrinsic relative
value Of the two, so that comparison Of
the markets of the world would show just
what relation one ounce Of silver bore 20
one ounce of gold-how many ounces of
silver IL took to be equal TO one ounce Of
gold In the markets of the world where
gold and silver were used-and they care
fully went about ascertaining that. JEFF
ferson and Alexander Hamilton gave their
great powers to the determination of that
question, and they collected the market
reports and they studied with all their
power that question, and when they found
what appeared to be she general and aver
age relative value of these two metals
they fixed upon ratio between them.
Now what was the object Of all that2
Why did they lump alif Because they
fully understood that unless these dol
lars were Of the same Inherent. in
trino value, both Of them could not
be standards OF value, and both could
not circulate. Why. everybody knews

What the President Can DO and What
He Cannot Do.


My friends, this constitutional question
this division between the general and
local authorities-is a plain and easy one.
A .sturbance which is purely local IN u
state is state affair. The president can
not send troops or lend any aid unless the
legislature calls upon him for help, or the
governor-if the legislature is not in ses-
sion But when a law of the United States
Is invaded and broken 1t is the sworn duty
of the president to execute it and this con
vention arraigns the president for doing
what his oath compelled him TO do. APP.

But this assault does not end here The
supreme court of the United States and
the federal lower courts are arraigned be-
cause they used the familiar writ OF In
junction TO suppress violence, to restrain
men from breaking the law, and that
platform plainly means-I will show you
that it was understood in the convention
and in the committee on resolutions-that
the Democratic policy was that when tho
supreme court, exercising its constitu-
