Unless an accurate registry has been
made Of all sales of negro slaves at the
respective periods stated no answer to,
the query can be made. rs
There has been no such registry
made and published, according to our.
Information, and, in all likelihood for.
the reason that it was not possible,
owing to the secrecy observed by seller
and buyer.
But 1T can be said that the prices of
slaves in large measure, like most
other chattcls, depended upon the gem
eral law Of supply and demand; and
that averages would be higher in the

"CUTICURA REMEDIES
 ARE UNEXCEllED"

About a year ago I was sufferer from skin, scalp, and blood humors. For four months I used various reme- dies prescribed to me for their treat ment, but they gave only temporary relief and then the distressing blood humors were back as usual. 1 finally lost all hopes of getting cured of this ailment. But a friend induced me to give the Cuticura Remedies fair trial. He had been troubled with the same disease and said he had been perma- nently cured by Cuticura. So 1 got the whole treatment, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and after 1 began the treat ment l could see and feel that it was success. The Cuticura Resolvent is certainly of great value as it cleanses the system of all humor germs and makes digestion easy. 1 used two complete sets of the Cuticura Remedies and 1 can say this much, that 1 was perma- nently cured by them. I want to say further, that these Remedies are un- excelled in curing the worst forms of skin and scalp humors. s. D. Phillips, Ordinance Corps, U. $. A., Rock Is.

In letter to the Secretary Of the
Treasury, President Roosevelt has the
following good words for the financial
situatiod. Every American citizen
should read them and mediate on
their truthful presentation OF condi-
tions:
"What is most needed just at pres
emit is that our citizens should realize
how fundamentally sound business
conditions in this couutry are ana
now absurd Il is .tU permit themselves
to get into a panic and create a
stringency by boarding their savings
instead Of trusting perfectly sound
banks. There is no particle OF risk
involved in letting business take its
natural course, and the people can
help themselves and the country most
by putting back into active circula'
ton the money they are boarding
The banks and trust companies are
solvent. There is more currency in
the country today than there was a
month ago. when the supply was
ample. Fifty-fve million dollars in
gold has been imported and the
government has deposited already 60
million dollars. These are facts, and
| appeal to the public to cooperate
with us in restoring normal business
