THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL ENCE OF 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 FIa 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 FIG 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 FIa 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

GOODNIGHT.

Goodnight, sweet year, that brought to
me
Dear friends to love, rare wealth to
hold,
That gave me flowers for memory
More precious far than lleeting gold,
Goodnight, sweet year, wherein read
Full many page with rare delight
Thy latest hour viii soon have fled
o, pleasant year, sweet year, good
night
Goodnight, sad year, that reft away
Some hopes / cherished; gave the pain
Or disillusion; dimmed the day
With wrecks of labor wrought in vain
Goodnight, sad year, that sometimes
knew
My pillow wet with bitter tears,
Goodnight, sad year, that drifteth too
Far hence on Times black sea of years,
Goodnight, blithe year, that to the home
Came smiling with so gay face,
Babe roses bloom in hall and room,
Sent small feet pattering through the
place
That woke such bells of melody
As touch the eternal chords that ring
Where evermore the ransomed be
And saints for aye behold the King
Goodnight, braye year, that gave me
strength
And helped my will to overcome
l n struggles, where the foe, at length
Baffled and beaten, left me dumb,
Yet thrilling with victorious songl
Goodnight, brave year, fain would
keep
Thy secret still to right the wrong,
But thou art weary. Rest and sleep.
Good might, o year most sorrowful,
Seen from the earth side, ache and los:
And clouded dawns and dear ones gone
Have deeply stamped thee with tn,
cross.
Sweet with the promise of the day,
Where heavens own morning shall ap
pear
And all the shadows flee away.

The Republicans Of the country have
now an assurance of the cooperation
in the next national campaign of all
that great body of business men and
advocates of sound money who in 1896
either supported Palmer and Buckner
or came temporarily into the Repub-
liean party. In addition to this they
are assured Of the support Of thous-
ands OF Democrats who in 1896 voted
against their judgment, for Bryan,
because they were unwilling to leave
the party with which they had CO.
operated for many years. But that
is now ended and in the next nation
al contest the men who believe in
souni money, wherever their former
political homes, will be in the RepuD-
lican ranks. This is the legitimate
and certain result oil the action of the
Democratic Members of the House of
Representative who decided in eau
Gus to unanimously oppose the retire
ment of the greenbacks and Treasury
notes, which gave their own admins
tration so much trouble only a short
time since. This return to the old
greenback doctrine of almost quarter
of a century ago, when coupled with
a continued adherence to the free
coinage of silver, makes it certain that
every friend of sound money will from
this time forward be found co.operat-
ing with the Republican party on
national issues.

The growth of protective senti-
ment in the South is explained by
those familiar with the situation there
in the fact that manufacturing indus
tries have recently gained firm foot
hold in that section. The cotton
manufacturers of New England have
recently been compelled to reduce
wages in order to meet the low prices
which the manufacturers of the South
can make with their cheap labor, fuel
and rents, while other manufacturers
are also reporting the South as rapidly
becoming rival in their lines. No
wonder the Democrats are trying to
abandon the free.trade doctrine since
it is no longer acceptable even in the
Solid South.
