LETTER TO JULIUS BALL.
Tallahassee, Fla.

Dear Sir: Our agent ought to sell
nine-tenths of the paint of his town
and region; no use to try for the other
tenth. The proportion of men, who
won't take good advice, and use the
least-gallons paint, is about one in ten
among even owners of houses and stores
and shops and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy gold brick
or green goods, if he has the money and
gets good chance.
Devoe at S175 a gallon is better than
gold; adulterated and short-measure
paints are green goods and gold bricks
Devoe saves half, more or less, of the
labor and wages of painting; it is all
paint full strength and full measure
There is no other such paint within ten
per cent. Ten per cent of labor and
paint is worth saving; and ten is the
least. There are scores of paints that
throw-away half of both gallons and la
Dor on whiting, china-clay, ground stone,
barytes, benzine, waterfall they are
and look like paint in the can; more
gallons to buy and more gallons to pay
for putting -on-gold bricks and green
goods. Here's how they work.
Judge |. d. Fairchild owns two houses
exactly alike in Lufkin, Texas. j. H.
Terrence painted both houses; one De-
voc, 15A gallons; the other with another
paint sold at same price; 25 gallons.
That 25 gallon paint is weak and Is per
cent whiting; that's why it took 81 gal
Ions more.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
New York.
P. S. Gilmore & Davis sell our Paint.

PLOTTING for Power.

Broward's drainage scheme is merely
the latest of a series of desperate eff
forts to build up a political machine to
put in power a little band of dema-
gOgues who hope thereby to perpetuate
themselves in Office and fatten off the
State.
Some years ago they made as desper-
ate an attempt to fasten the iniquitous
dispensary system upon Florida, taking
their cue from South Carolina. They
tried to disguise it as q temperance
measure so as to rally the temperance
people of the State to its support, but
the temperance people of Florida are
sober and clear headed and they would
have none Of it. Results in South Car
DINA prove their wisdom.
Failing in their dispensary scheme,
they rested awhile until they could
hatch out something new. They found
it in the proposed scheme to enter the
State into the insurance business, which
was sprung at the session of the Legis-
lature of 1876. It was an inviting
proposition, promising the people abso-
lutte insurance protection at small cost,
at time, too, when insurance compa-
MES were under fire and the people
were ready for any sort of change. But
pie Of Florida saw the danger, and they
brought pressure to bear to stop the
passage of the bill
Then this drainage scheme was
sprung. 1t is kitten of the same pro-
genitors. The proposed amendment to
the constitution creates the machine as
a drainage board, giving it unlimited
power and putting it out of reach of
legislative inquisitiOn.
If the people of Florida should by
any chance approve this amendment by
their votes, they would soon see their
mistake, for, with power, the little
band would become bold. Their greed
would get the best of them. There
would not be enough pickings in the
drainage scheme, and the dispensary
and State insurance would soon follow.
Is Florida TO be prostituted to a car.
nival of graft?
Will the conservative voters of Flor.
ida permit any such condition of affairs?
II they would prevent il, they must
be up and doing. That iniquitous con-
stitutional amendment cannot be de-
feated by sitting quietly at home. Get
out and tell your friends Of the danger,
and ses that they 60 to the polls and
vote against it.-Times-U Union.
