The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa.
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub.
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

VALUE OF MONEY.
Tie Question Of Price Levels Is One Of
Relation Of Money volume to
Corn noditiss.


In order to retain a clear idea of this
law Of value Of money. or of prices gen.
orally, it should be kept in mind that
the value of the total volume of money
does not change. If, for instance, the
volume Of money should be doubled,
with no change in quantity of things to
be bought and sold, the double volume
would simply stand against the same
quantity of things to be exchanged for
money. Each unit Of the larger volume,
therefore, would exchange. for but half
as much as unit of smaller volume be-
fore it was doubled. For like reasons if
the volume Of money should be halved,
other things remaining the same, each
unit of the smalle: vtlume would have
double purchasing power, and conse-
quently the purchasing power of the
whole Of the smaller volume would have
double purcha ing power and conse-
quently the purchasing power Of the
whole Of the small - volume world be
the same as the purchasing power of the
volume before il vas cut down one-half.
Hence we must understand that it is the
units Of the volume of money that vary
in value and not the whole volume. The
price of thing is the number Of units
Of money-in our system dollars-that a
thing will exchange for. Hence the law
governing or determining price levels
may be stated as follows The range of
prices generally depends on the proper
tion of money to debts and commodities,
i.e., to debts to be paid and things to be
bought and sold; and as the volume of
currency redeemable i'll standard money,
and also bank credits, that so largely
supply the place Of currency, depends on
the supply Of primary or basic money, it
follows that general prices depend pri-
marily on the supply of standard money,
o. money of ultimate redemption. Con-
sequently it is plain enough that the
question Of price levels is one Of the
relation of money volume to commodi-
ties. We can, therefore, have which
price level we choose, that of dollar
wheat, 5o-cent corn, ten-cent cotton,
and so on, or the other level of
5o-cent wheat, ascent corn, fve-cent
cotton, etc. Either of these plans of
prices can be easily enongh secured
One, that represented by 5o-cent wheat,
fve-cent cotton, ETC., is the gold plane
of prices; the other, that indicated by
dollar wheat, ten-cent cotton, ETC., is the
bimetallic plane. With gold the sole
measure it is impossible to have high, or
higher, prices. On the contrary prices
must go lower as gold appreciates or
grows dearer, as it is doing now all the
the time. With money supply left, as
before 1873, to come from the mines of
both gold and silver, we would undoubt-
edly have in time range of prices ap-
proximating that which prevailed from
1850 to IS73.-A. ]. Warner.

payers OF the state. Either the ssy-
lum at Topeka or at Osawatomis
could have been enlarged sufficiently
to accommodate all demands at much
less than half the expense necessary
to purchase a site and build a new
one, to say nothing about the extra
continual expense necessary to employ
additional superintendent, doctors,
attendants and supplies. But the hue
and cry was raised that as both the
old asylums are located 10 the eastern
part Of the state, one should be locat'
ed further west, and much stress was
laid on the claim that great amounts
in travelling expenses would be thus
saved. So the legislature decided tU
build a new asylum, Failing to agree
upon a site, a committee consisting
OF five Republicans, three Populists
and one Democrat was appointed to
select a site. This committee junkst-
ed up and down the state, spending
hundreds of dollars Of the peoples
money, and finally met at Topeka to
decide the matter. A dozen or more
towns were applicants, but some Of
them did not receive a vote. 1t is the
presumption that the managers Of
these towns were chumps enough to
believe that the question would be
decided on merit. The committee
cast a number Of scattering votes and
finally stampeded to the little one

members Of the committee disgraced
themselves by accepting it is strongly
suspicioned. Major Tom Anderson,
OF Topeka, a member, says the Par

vote for that town. Senator John
