A Matter of Business.

The grand and Indispensable
army Of Industrious and prog
ressive citizens known the world
over as money-makers will now
be calculating the enormous in
crease in the value of property in
the island of Cuba after it has
been freed from the semi-barbar-
ism and rapacity of Spanish
rule and has become a North
American State. Who can mag
Inc the just price of Porto Rico
when that island comes beneath
the enlightened government Of
the United States? The Philip
pines and all Spain's Pacific is
lands will experience a translation
to a level of unexpected and un-
known wealth SO soon as SPANS
sovereignty over them is given to
us.
Yet there is a country, already
enjoying the blessings of civil
ization, and far more naturally a
part of our dominion than any
Spanish territory, which the day
the United States flag is unfold
ed over it will rise in respect to
the value of it's property a hun
dredfold more than Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines put to-
gether. We allude to that curious
anachronism of. this continent,
the British colony of Canada.
No such colossal speculation

ing an out and out American

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the car and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
Ey 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

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken

by R. @. Burton. ESQ.,, during

those heights at Santiago; and

If an honest Populist can read
the Caucasian without becoming
disguised with the opensfaced
and wanton %hypocricy of Sena-

of saving grace. Buffers whole
song is denunciation of the Dem

The Pittsboro Record well
says:
mo one but q contemplate
demagogue ever attempts to
arouse the prejudices Of the peos
pie against the lawyers. who as
a class have always proved them~
selves to be as patriotic and true
as any other citiz And it is
untrue to say that the lawyers
control the Democratic party.
But even if this vas true, the
Populist party cannot consist
entity criticise or complain, bes
cause that party bas taken to its
warmest embraces or has given
an Office to every lawyer who
has joined it!
Had you thought of this?
Search throughout the State,
and where will you find a Popu-

been given an office or does not

We ask any candid man if the
