Our Democratic brethren, who are
making so much fuss just now about the

and make a lucid explanation of the
same.

THE output of pig iron, the New
York Public concludes, after a careful
review of the situation, has not vet
reached the point where it is equal to
the reduction in the demand. The num-
Der of furnaces has been reduced, but
their production for the first six months
of the present year was 2,352,0l9 long
tons against 1862 tons in the first
half of 1882. The surprising thing. un-
der these circumstances, is not that iron
has fallen. but that it remains SO steady.
This is unquestionably due to the enor-
nous amount of building.

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

EXPERIENCED

The Rev. Y. p. Wilds, well-kBown city
missionary in New York, and brother of the
late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Massachu-
sets Supreme Court, writes as follows:
''7S E. 5ith ST., Ne,U York, May 16, 1882.
MEssRs. j. c. AVER & Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter was troubled with a most uncom-
Portable itching humor affecting more especially
my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night,
and burned so intensely, that could scarcely bear
any clothing over them. / was also a sufferer
from severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system good deal run
down. Knowing the value of AYERS SARSAPA-
RILLA, by observation of many other cases, and
from personal use in former years, began taking
1t for the above-named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After
short time the fever and itching were alayed, and
all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My
catarrh and cough were also cured by the same
means, and my general health greatly improved,
until it is now excellent. l feel a hundred per
cent stronger, and attribute these results to the
use of the SARSAPARILLA, which / recommend
with all confidence as the best blood medicine
ever devised. i took it in small doses three
times day. and used in all, less than two bottles.
/ place these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, 2. P. WILDs."
The above instance is but one of the many con-
stantly coming to notice, which prove the per-
feet adaptability of AYERS SARsAPARILLA to
the cure of all diseases arising from impure or inn
poyerished blood and weakened vitality,

Lecislatire Notes.

A pleasant occurrence Tuesday was the
presentation to F. II. Dayton, sergeant-at-
arms of the house, by number of friends,
of Swiss gold watch valued at $685.. The
presentation was made by representative
OF the donors, just as Mr.. Dayton stepped
back from the desk after being sworn in.
The beautiful gift was totally unexpected,
but was none the less acceptable.
tThe members and officials spent a good
portion of their spare time while in their
respective chambers yesterday in oriticiz-
ing the same, the universal verdict being
that they were abortions, and that some
radical changes would have to be devised
TO make them suitable for the purposes de-
signed.
The abortions known as the senate and
house chambers of the new acpitol are
daily developing causes for added cersure
and condemnation. Yesterday the secre-
tary of state sent the secretary of the SEN
ate and clerk of the house the usual num-
Der OF waste baskets for members, of the
same size heretofore used. Upon distrib-
uting them at the desks of the members, it
was found that they completely blocked
the passage ways. and they had to be re-
moved. and the secretary OF state is on the
war-path for a pocket edition of
waste baskets, but it is more
than probable he will have
to fall back upon the old-fashioned ladies'
scrap bags, puckered at the mouth and tied
with string, which could be hung from
