THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

The EXCELLENCE Ut SYRUP Of FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIe SYRUP Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Two Kinds of Deficits.

This from the Cleveland Plaindealer
is an unusually frank acknowledgment
for a free trade newspaper to make:
Certainly during the last six months,
when our revenue has fallen short at
the rate OF over 100000 per month,
our people having been purchasing
more Of our own goods than at any
time for two years previous, and more
money has gone into circulation and
more men have been at work
Enemies Of protection and fair play
would win more respect and OBTAIN a
more attentive hearing if they told the
truth more frequently. Admissions
from a free trade writer as candid as
that quoted from the Plaindeaier are as
rare as white blackbirds.
Deficits occurred with great regular
ity during the four years of low tariff
and no tariff, and upward Of S2Oo,OO0
of indebtedness was incurred to bridge
over the shortage in the revenues. None
of the free trade people then had
spasms on that account; it is only ss'':e
protection is once more in operation
that they worry about deficits.
But there are worse things than deli
cits. and the Plaindealer tacitly ac-
knowledges as much when it bears wit
ness to the fact that times have been
extremely prosperous in spite or the
shortage of $6,O0O,O00 per month. If
we must have deficits, let us have the
kind that have temporarily occurred
under the Dingley law, where every
body is prosperous, instead Of the Will
son sort, when, in addition to deficits
in government revenues, there were
disastrous depletions of the revenues of
the great mass of wage earners and
wage payers.

The Lonpest-Liyed Animal.

The longest-liyed animal in the world

length of life is $50 years, it's age pre-
yious to its transportation to the island
of Mauritus being unknown. In 1883
the governor Of Mauritius sent to the
geological gardens tortoise weighing
oS5 pounds. It was four feet four
inches, and had been in the island Of
Mauritius for sixty-seven years. The
exact period was known, for this tor
toise was brought to that island from
the Seychelles in 1866. At That time it
was full grown. SO that its real age
was probably much grater.-Indepen-
