SILVER DOLLARS.

The United States hints turned out S,762,1 silver dollars from July to November this year. During the six years since the act of 1890 went into effect the number has been 56,306, ,876, and the treasury still has on hand 125, ,061 ,262 fine ounces in silver which can be made into dollars if more of that coin is wanted. The most ardent bimetallist can ask for no more than this.
 But there is a great temptation in this spectacle of the prolific manufac- ture of dollars out of 50 cents worth of silver each, and the director of the mint says in his report that some people have yielded to it. The appear ance of counterfeit silver dollars and halves is announced, exactly similar to the genuine in size, weight and de- vice, and impossible of detection by the treasury experts. Those counter 1 feits which are detected are such as contain a greater amount of silver an6 1 therefore are of more intrinsic value than the genuine government coin.
 This is held to be responsible ant injurious, and it is severely punished by the law. Yet that which the coun terfeiters are now doing on a smal scale is the same thing which the ad
 vocates of free silver proposed to al
 low the mine owners to do on a con
 tinental scale-namely, to coin thei
 bullion into money at the rate of 5
 cents worth to a dollar.

Nine reasons why Ayers Sarsaparil la should be taken in preference to any other blood purifier: 1st. The drugs from which it is made are the most carefully selected. 2d. They are combined in such scientific propor- tions that they may always be depend ed upon for successful results. 3d. It is concentrated extract, only small doses being required. 4th It is perfect ly safe, either for young or old. 9th. It acts upon the blood more speedily than any other blood purifier. 9th. It cures disease by removing the conditions which make sickness possible, and therefore cures permanently. 7th. This remedy has a well-known scientific value and it's formula is familiar to scientific men. Sth. It has been before the public for half century. Drug gists and physicians recommend it and employ it in their practice. 9th It was the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the worlds fair. It stands first. It leads all other blood purifiers. Be sure your druggist sells you Ayers Sarsaparilla. It cures others, and will , cure you.

DUTIES OF ELECTORS.
WELCOME TO PHOENIX.

Today opens the fifth session of the National irrigation congress. Not be- fore in it's history has Arizona been so highly honored and the event will be memorable one. Especially proud is the capital city to receive and entertain as guests those who have given years of study and toll to the development of the blessed agency that makes the desert blossom as the rose. Here for the next three days will be assembled a notable body of men-the brightest minds of the Ma tion-to deliberate upon the ways and means best adapted for the reclama- tion of arid lands.
 There is no doubt that the labors of this session will prove of greater advantage to the cause throughout the country than any preceding one for the reason that here in the Salt River valley is found the best perfect l ed system of irrigation in the United States. Here, too, are found in the highest state of perfection the re- suits of the application of water to arid and desert land. Twenty years ago where now extends a valley as large as the whole state of Rhode Island, which in productiveness equal! the famed valley of the Nile, was {
 barren and desolate waste. Irriga
 tion has wrought the change and to
 day the fairest city in that reclaimed and fruitful valley extends greetings hearty and welcome, to the stranger

In all the larger California cities, from San Francisco to San Diego, a determined effort is being made to in- teTest charitable citizens in a general Christmas time distribution of food and clothing to the worthy poor. The newspapers have entered into the en- terprise with great zeal and their aid is proving valuable. Why not extend the commendable work to Phoenix! The newspapers here will surely use every effort to further the cause. There is 10 reason why this should not be made merry Christmas to the deserv. ing poor of Phoenix.

 In 1893 New York did 52.27 per cent of the exporting of the United States
 In 1895 New York's proportion of the whole was reduced to 4032, and for ten
 months of 1896 to 35.S5. Boston gained from 962 per cent in 1893 to 10.59 in 1895, and 149S in ten months of 1896. Baltimore and Philadelphia made some gains but less than Boston. Sentiment does not count for much l in business, but when other things are equal it has it's influence While no very substantial reason is at hand why l New York should not be popu- lar, the fact is apparent that it is not.

The latest trust is grand interna- tional ocean steamship trust. The chief lines have agreed to advance the minimum winter passage across the Atlantic from S60 to $75, and the mini mum rate of summer passage from $75 to 500. and an advance in the rates above this in like proportion; to also do away with the sale of excursion tickets at reduced prices, and limiting to those under eight years of age the use of half-tickets.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums It is here on it's merits"
