Each of the above-named papers are re
quested to keep' the list standing on the first
page and add others, provided they are duly
elected. Any paper failing to advocate the
Ocala platform will be dropped from the
list promptly. Our people can now see
thai papers are published in their interest.
The Conference Platform.
The following is a correct copy of
tha platform sulptpJ" at St. Louis by
lie labor conference:
FINANCE.
1. We demand" a national currency
afe, sound and hVxible issued bv
the neu -ral g'lvernment only; a ful!
egal tenner for alif tlebts, public and
private; and without the use ot bank
ing corporations; a just and equitable
means of circulation, id a tax not to
exceed two j er cent, as set. forth in the
sub-treasury plan ot the r aimers Al
liance, or some better system; also, bv
payments in the discharge ot its obli
sfations'for public improvements.
a. YV6 demand free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
r. We demand the amount ot cir
culating juediu-m to be speedily in
creased to not less than $50 per capita.
c. "We demand a graduated income
tax.
d. We believe that the money of th
treasury should be kept as nint h a
possible in the hands of the people
and hence we demand all National and
State reve.rues shall be limited to the
necessa'Y expenses of government.
economically and honestly administered.
e. We demand that Fostal having
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe tleposit of --earning
of the people .nd facilite exchange.
LAND.
2. Your sulj-conr.nitt.ee upon the
land plank, beg to submit to your :ip.
provnl the following: -The land, in
cluding all natural resources of wealth,
is the heritage of all people, and should
not be monopolized for speculative
purposes, and -alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All lands now
neld by railroads -and other coporations
m excess of their actual needs and all
lands-now owned by aliens sdiould.be
reclaimed by the Government and held
for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION
6. Transportation being a means
of defence and public necessity, the
Government should own and operate
roads in the interest of Ihe people.
a. The telegraph and telephone,
like the postal system, being a necessity
for the transmission or news, should be
owiudjitid operated by the government
in the interest ot the people.
While some parts of the above ad-
i l i
dress may seem at a mere glance to
make partisan political distinctions.
yet upon careful study one will clearly
$e? that it is non-partisau, and further,
will be impressed with the truth of its
promises, and the ability of the com
mittee who framed it. It was adopted
with only a few dissenting votes, and
the platform was adopted unanimously,
and received with great applause. The
conference living completed its work
hs a representative body, and adjourned
tine die.
Milk, when freshly drawn from the
cow, is a veiv limpid liquid. It Lr
comes slightly viscoul afier standing
for a short 'time through the form

The fat in milk is usually said to con
sist of a mixture of several fats most
prominent among which are olein,
stearine, palm din, butyrin, caprylinn
aud rutin. But. it is hard to determin
!o what extent inese various fats are
present in fresh milk; some of them
cannot be detected w hen milk is freshly

RICHARD RAZOR'S LETTEU.
Last Wednesday we had our boy Jim
doing some carpenter work iu the office
and he is ordinarily a very fussy kind of
a boy, but on this oecasiou we had given
hiin oine work to do that required the
use of a dull saw, a I ad faced hammer
and some second hand nails. We had
him putting up a partition and he made
such a racket lhat we could not hear and
scarcely see. We decided to tnkeastroll
through the citv to get clear of the fuss
ai.d at the some time see what the out
look w as for Xinas.
Goods among the merchants not for our
011 benefit at all, for we never have
money tevbuy Xmas tricks with. If our
good looks fall to get them we are lefi
every time. But for the benefit of the
readers of the Watchman, for we know
many of "ihein have something to buy
with, while standing on the corner we
saw a great crowd standing iu front of
the J. M. Davis & Co. Racket stortfon
Tryon street. We made a straight shoot
for the store and elbowed inside of the
house. Our good looks, as is always the
case, in a crowd, attracted the attention
of Bro. J. M. Davis, w!h, fortunately for
ine, was standing just inside, smoking a
two ior a nick le lie cut a glance, saw
I was embarrassed by being crowded
among a set of faces. He armed us and
said he would open the way and see that"
we we were not trod on by the feet ol'
men. I thanked him and told him that
some of the women had big feet too, and
he suid that he meant all.
I asked him what was causing the stir,
lie replied that ihey had just opened 31
large cases of holiday goods, aud between
putting them in plaee and waiting on an
army of customers, it had got things on
a hump. We started down the aisle,
counter on both sides, and behind each
counter was a
line oi laoy cieiKs, ana
ihey were good looking clerks, some ol
them beyond good looking, they were
pretty, or that is what we heard a red
mounted, crooked nosed fellow say that
mi I on Ins glasses. But the counters
Were groaning uuder the weierht of toys
uuii owier Holiday goods, and suspended
over the counters was a like amount,
About half way down I stopped, and

the home of wonders. Aladin with his
wonderful lamp not produce a more va
ried and beautiful collection of delights
for the little folks thau are now on exhi
bition at the si ore of J M. Davis & Co.
Bro. Davis could not find names for each
article and he had one of those girls to
in naiaiii; the liUcient ailicles.
A.s we Cnt down she was polite and
took great pains to show us how to wind
up such ot , ihe tovs as run oy a spring.
Sue I suppose thought I was a rich uaer-
chaiil from I he rural districts and wanted
lo make a large purchase, or she might
have thought that I had ten or twelve
little boys and .girls and would treat
them all next week, get their Xmas fix
ings, or my good looks may have had
something to have done with the marked
attention the lady clerks gave. The
vouit.,' soaietimes ate carnea away by
ueauty. I will just give the names of a
few things as I remember them:
Dolls of cloth ami lubber dolls of all
sizes, dolls dressed aud undressed, dolls
that walk, talk, dance and cry, dolls
that eat and have treaussaus. Steam
boats, steam engines in reality, work
l . shops of all kinds run by steam, railway
dying musical acrobats, devil among the
tailor's, tables, jumping jacks, jumping
Irogs, travelling cooters, swimming
ducks, switch-back railroads running on
full lime, toy tea sets, parlor sets, kichen
sets, toy bed room sets. This is only an
inkling. I asked Bro. D.iviswhen would
we get to the end of the house, ifthi.-
wasall. Another pulf from his two for
.t nickle aud he said, go to the basemen
There we found another store full of,
well, we cairt say what. Ihe first thiug
we done was to run over more express
wagons, carts, wheel barrows, bycycles.
velocipedes and such like than wotiid
sunolv an ordinary school district. 1
backed to the foot of the stairs as I saw-
there was no room for my feet down
ihe.re. I looked and saw vases, China
ware, queensware. lampwaru without
end. Wo asked Bro. Davis if that was
sill. He nulled the two-for-a- nickle
-irain and we went to the second story
Tnis floor was filled with clothing, hats
md cans. We looked at that mammoth
collection ol clothing aud then at our
own old back and wondered what would
bechance tur a swap
fur a swap. W e saw several
fellows netting into new clothes, but all
we could do was to draw a long breath.
A fellow asked us if w e ft It any change
after coming from the basement to the
third storv. he meant as to the atmos
nhere. We did't understand ' him aud
i'e It in our pocket and told not a nickle.
We next climbed to the third story ami
feasted our eyes on enough carpeting to
cover the floors of all the rooms ot ten
such buildings as the Royal Palace a
ritockholtn. A little further ou we found
piles on piles of toys, novelties, etc. more
than we can describe, huddled together
iu a way that will attract the attention
of the old and young, the rich and the
poor, and lhat will make the children's
eyes open wide w.th w onder and their
hearts beat fast for joy. We began to
e!t)ow out of the house with teais iu our
eyes for we had taken nothing into the
store, and of course we could not take
anjthing out. When you go in you will
meet, Ren- Shi Ids at the door with a

as happy as if ft was Saturday and

was going to see his best girl. 1
The next house we tumbled in was
James Harrison & Co. The second story
of their house is made up of Christmas
goods. The house is not as large as the
Racket but just as full. All the same
tojs -without end. The tunny man of
the firm met us at the door and began to
show and price goods: baby dolls, to'
wagons, rattlers, tops, jumping jacks,
and all kinds of baby fixings. We told
him w e wasn't that kind, had not come
to buy but to see and tell the readers ot
the Watchman where Christmas goods
could be found. We foa- d prices in
reach of all. Tbo funny man said that
he was non-partisan in his dealings;
when customers came he offered I hem
good goods at prices to suit the time,
and he did not ask them what their age
was, what eonnty or state they were
born in, what their .occupation was or
whether they had seen the bears, 01
whether they carried their money in
their stocking, or what ticket they voted
or whether they were aspirants for the
postofficeor mint, or whether thev favor
free coinage or the government owner
ship of railroads. All that he asked was
for everybody to come ana ee him ami
if they want anything in his line to say
so and he would accommodate them as to
style and price.
We dropped in at Eddln's book store.
John and Charles said they had nobreend
es and coats and hats aud stockings ach
such like, but when it came to books and
stationery ana mnsimas caras, goiu
pens, musical instruments and all kinds
of book store Christmas presents lor hus
bands, wives, sisters, mothers, fat tiers,
brothers, chileren. sweethearts, cousins,
aunts, uncles, friends and kinsfolk, tin v
were in it. 1 hey have a handsome stock
of goods in their line at bed rock prices.
See there ad. in the Watchman. They
have promised us a speller for a Christ-
insist present.
.Now, while you are looking for Christ
mas goods don't forget your house, but
get on your hind legs and rack round to
W. E. SShaw and Co. aud get a new set ol
harness, new lines and reins, and throw
those old bark and rope reins awuy lhat
you have had, and your bridle all year.
Get a new saddle and throw that quilt
away that you 4uive been riding on all
year. Get a collar and stop wearing
your horse's neck out with the naked
names he keeps them at rock bottom
prices. We met J. H. Weddington in
our rounds. He said Brown, Wedding-
ton aud Co. had a full line of Christmas
goods. We looked about in the house
and found a large quantity of goods and
all useful and necessary. But they have
a great many toys that we have no voice
for. When it comes to playing with a
