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 as 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 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 arr
pleasant TO the taste, and healthfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal.
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be medic inally 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 il
in need of 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.

as reasonable to insist that the popu-

order to show Mr.. Butler, that neither
him nor, the cpterie of representatives
in congress are the party. We favor
the conference because we believe it
will have stimulating effect upon the
reform forces of the country, and
further we believe the time has come
when the attention of the country
should be called sharply to the radical
difference there is in the platforms and
sentiments of>the parties.
In general we endorse the
views of Capt. Lowe. Still we
have serious doubts whether the
Peoples Party can be reorganiz-

of the party in the hands of the
fusionists. it will be an up hill job

How the Laws We're Printed

State Printer Whitney writes to his
paper, the Marshall News Messenger,
as follows concerning the publishing
OF the state laws in supplement form
for the press Of the state:
''For the law supplements there were
used six carloads of printing paper,
comprising 10000 pounds. This fur
nished $50, 600 copies of 20 pages each.
The great perfecting press Of the Pho
neer Press printed these 20 pages at
the same time. The first work was
delivered at the capitol Thursday
afternoon, April 10Th, but the big
press was started for it's permanent
run on Friday morning, and was run
day and night continuously till Tues
day night at 1890 o'clock, excepting
the hours required for printing the
Pioneer Press editions. On Wednes-
day morning the last packages had
been shipped. During the running of
the press eleven men were engaged in
the work. The force was divided, with
two men. in charge Of the press, one
taking the papers from the delivery
box, another passing them to the ship
ping table, where one man counted
them BY the hundreds, sliding them to
another man, who placed the piles IN
stout wrappers, showing the package
to the third man at the same bench,

Boom Times.

During the eleven years between 1879
and 1890 this country ran an almost
breathless race of eager and rapid de-
velopment. Certainly those were not
normal times, says a writer in the
Forum. They were based upon con-
ditions that will never be seen again
upon the American continent. To
long for their restoration.is to indulge
in the fascinating but proftless occu-
patton of chasing rainbows. For
what is there in orr future prospects,
to justify the hope that those times
will return? Our new west is already
fairly we'll peopled and it's business
conditions have conformed themselves
to those of the rest of the country.
Except in a few mining districts it no
longer offers a field for adventure or
speculation. Our great trans-conti-
mental railway systems are already
constructed, and not one Of them can
earn interest on the money it cost.
Our new towns and cities went rather
beyond the capacity of the tributary
country to support them under the
stimulus of inflated real estate values
and with the temporary opportunities
they offered for employment of labor.
We shall not again have flood of
foreign money pouring in to loan upon
anything or everything having the
semblance of property. The foreigner
has had his experience, and he now
wants to be doubly sure that he is 60
ing to get his capital back and his
regular interest payments before an
American investment has any attrac-
ton for him. Is it not, on the whole,
probable that we shall have to make
up our minds to plod along in the
slow-going way of older nations and
to be satisfied with moderate profits
and a slow accumulation of wealth?
If these be unreasonable expectation
would it not be sane and wholesome
for people to cease dreaming of a
golden age which is gone forever? Just
SO.

AS we have said before, and
emphasize it in view Of late de-
velopment that the Peoples Party
Press must preserve an indepen-
dent attitude towards the single
silver issue and keep their own
organization alive wherever pos
sible. The Peoples Party Press
is power as longas it stands free
and independent but whenever it
enters into the democratic parlor
that may be the end of both honor
and usefulness. AS Mr.. Donnel-
ly APPLY said: 1--WE stand ready

IS THE PEOPLES PARTY
DlSlNTEGRATING?

The crisis of the Peoples
Party as an organization is final
ly at hand. Last summer when
we got unto the real ropes of the
fusion program we foresaw and
foretold just what would and is
now happening, to wit; the utter
destruction of the Peoples Party
as political organization: For
that reason we at the time oppos-
ed this fusion program the best
we knew how. We had come to
love and respect the organization
and a host of the noble men we
used to meet and deliberate with
at our state gatherings. The
Peoples Party had grown to be
the second party in the State,
and was in excellent fighting shape
to march forward from victory
to victory.
But just then a clique or
coterie at Minneapolis with some
assistance from certain few pop
ulists from the State assumed
charge of the affairs of the party
and proceed to: carry out the
program that ended in nothing
more nor less than the utter ruin
of the party in this State.
The immediate point on which
the issue is now forced is whether
the Populists of the state shall
take steps to go to the Nashville
convention July the fourth and
attempt to reorganize the party
anew.
The Reform Press called this
convention of Populists Of the
Nation, but National Chairman
Butler refused to sanction it.
Butler represents the fusionists,
that is, the men who wish the de-
struction of the Peoples party for
the benefit of democracy; the Re-
form Press represents the so
called middle Of the road faction.
Donnel]y is in favor of attend
ing it and urges the Peoples
party to see that delegates are
sent. Capt. Lowe, editor of the
Sacred Heart Peoples Watch
man a level headed and conserva-
tive man has this to say:
The Waterman stands unreservedly
in favor of the conference which has
been called to meet in Nashville Tenn
essee on July 18th by a committee ap-
pointed by the Reform Press Associa-
ton, provided they failed to induce
chairman Butler to call it. He refus-
ed hence this call. We favor it, be-
cause there is a studied effort on the
part of the leaders of the democratic
party and the pie eaters Of the popu-
list party: to disrupt the peoples
party by bringing about q complete
amalgamation of the two, and thus
forever put an end to further reform
effort except it be along lines that
democratic conventions shall map out
which under such circumstances would
be of the milk and water variety: for
with such unifcation all of the gold
bug element would flock as one man,
back into its ranks to control and eat
it's pie. It is already apparent that
the moneyed interests, are going to put
forth almost superhuman effort to gain
control of the democratic party for
1900, for they believe that it is but the.
natural out come Of presentconditions
that it is booked by fate to succeed in
the next election. We are in favor Of
the conference that we may show the
populists Of the South that the great.
heart of the rank and file of the popu-
lists of the North beats in hearty sym.
spathy with them in their efforts TO
keep from being swallowed by their
old antagonist. ould 1t not be just

Without Money.

without Money.
There is a large wholesale bust
ness house down at No. 1872
Davis street that has done a
business of $4,000 within the
last eight months wholly without
money. Nor is it in debt a single
dollar. It expects to go right
along doing business in exactly
the same way-without money.
It has grown from a very small
affair, located out on Tenth street
ID year ago, to it's present healthy
proportions by the same methods,
and bases it's future expectations
upon what it has accomplished.
1t claims to have solved the
money question" by dismissing
money entirely-have nothing to
do with it, says the San Francisco
Call.
The business concern is the
Labor Exchange. It is not a
mere local cooperative affair.
The Labor Exchange is a nation
al institution that, in spite of the
sneers and prophesies of failure
that it met at it's conception and
that have followed it along it's
course, seems to have reached a
point where it may demand re-
spectful study ana consideration.
The idea upon which it is
founded is very simple. Its pur-
pose is to employ every man who
has an opportunity to produce
anything by finding a market for
the product-to find some other
man who wants the product and
who has something to exchange
for it. It is by this means that
the use of money is dispensed
with.
A shoemaker, for instance,
wants a barrel of flour; he gets
to work and. makes a whole lot of
shoes to the value of the thing he
wants, takes them to the ex-
change and receives the flour.
If he wants something not in the
exchange,-for instance if he
wants a new set of teeth-he is
given check or checks of the
value of the product he leaves
there, and goes away to some
dentist who belongs to the ex-
change and who, therefore, will
accept the checks for his work.
The dentist is not required to
take the shoes for his work-the
checks will be accepted at the ex-
change for anything there is in
stock. Nor is the dentist even
limited to this. These checks
are accepted by a score or more
Of other business houses in
almost every line Of trade, so
widely has the movement spread.
So that the Labor Exchange
checks are coming into general
circulation and serving not mere
~ as a substitute but in some re-
spects as an improvement upon
money. They are an improve
ment to the extent that they
serve all the purposes in faciliat.
ing exchange without being sub.
ject to taxation. .sH.
That|question has been raised
at Washington the institution
has reached such proportions as
to force attention at Washington
and the Attorney General declar.
ed that mas much as the checks:
