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 sarsapardllas 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 patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

There is no scarcity Of preparations for the hair, but unquestionably the one which ranks highest in point of merit is Ayers Hair Vigor. It is made from the choicest materials and on strictly scientific principles. It does not soil nor become rancid by exposure to the air, and is as perfect a substi- tute for the oil supplied by nature, in youth and health, as modern chem istry can produce. It softens and stim- ulates the hair and scalp, revives and strengthens weak and disordered tis- sues, restores the original color to faded and gray hair, prevents the for nation of dandruff, cures humors which destroy the hair-roots, renders the skin healthy, moist, and active, and the hair soft, silky, lustrous, and abundant. Gray hair, one of the most noticeable indications of age, may be postponed for many years by the daily and faithful use of this admirable prep aration. Give it trial. Gentlemen as well as ladies prefer Ayers Hair Vigor to any other dressing and consid- CT their toilet incomplete without it.

GOING ABROAD.

The times have not been sufficiently hard to materially cut down the usual flood of foreign travel this year, an ev- idence of which fact is given in the shipping news from New York for one day recently, when 5000 Americans were carried down the bay at New York headed for the other side.
 It would be interesting to know how many among the number of those on board the ocean liners obtained the money which they will spend over there from legitimate home enter prises, and how many from sources in no way connected with them. It would also be interesting to know how many of them are on their way abroad to spend money that came to them in the way of profits on importa- tions from foreign countries to take the bread out of the mouths of the struggling go of every thousand of our whole population.
 These are times when luxuries are within the reach of 8 very limited num- Der of the people of the United States, and few indeed among those in any way engaged in productive lines ven ture an expenditure of such an amount as is necessary to pay the cost of a summer in Europe, even if they could afford to absent themselves from their business. There is, of course, the usual quota of idlers who are of no benefit to either trade or society at home, who may and do go and come without note being made of their ab- sence or their presence, but they are limited in numbers as well as in their influence in the worlds affairs.
 : The flood of summer travel abroad Is made up in the larger part of those who have accumulated money in one way or another by their own efforts. And of this larger part there is a very large percentage of those who have never thought 1t worth the while to spend half as much as foreign trip costs for the purpose of seeing some thing of their own country. They are tmpelled by a mania that has no be- longing with real, earnest American ism.
 They know nothing whatever of that spirit of love for home and country that has made and preserved the na- tion. Of course they have right to gc abroad if they like. This is a free country. In fact, it has become SC free that it matters little, so far as ap pearances are concerned, whether 2 man knows even the complexion O his next door neighbor, and much lesi whether his neighbor is in health ol suffering either in body or purse-ant if in state of abject poverty, whethel or not it comes from the economic ill of the country There is great neet of a rehabilitation of stalwart Amer icanism, of sterling patriotism, of { pride of country that can only com

BLACKLTsTED EMPLoYEs.

Suits aggregating hundreds of thou sands of dollars for damage have been filed against almost every rail- road having terminals or offices in Chi cago The complainants are eighty workmen who were formerly in the employ of the railway corporations. These men were connected with the American Railway Union strike two years ago, and since then they have been refused work by the companies The men claim they were blacklisted On applying for work they were re- Quired to furnish a clearance from the company employing them last.
 In most cases the clearance was fur nished, but it did not secure the man a job by any means. The clearance always stated that the workman had Unfortunately been influenced to leave the service" This meant that he was a striker and was fatal to his chances for employment.
 Of course the railroad managers deny all knowledge of any blacklist. The officers say there is no discrimi- nation against former employees, but nevertheless it is significant fact that no man who joins in a strike can get work from the railroads again It is also known that men have changed their names and secured work readily, but when they were discovered imme- diate discharge followed.
 These strikers are entitled to redress. They have devoted their lives to the railroad business and are fit for noth- ing else. They are cheated out of a living by the railroad trust of the coun- try, and have joined the army of moneyless unemployed. Their future is clouded, and the clouds are black de spair. The courts can come to the res cue of these men. will they do it?

THE RECENT FALL IN PRICES DID
NOT BEGIN IN 1873.
3. We note in the third place. that
the recent fall in prices did not begin in
573 but in 1865.
When (for reasons varying with the
persons from the purest patriotism TO the
mcs- dangerous demagogy) those who
are trying to foist upon this country the
unlimited coinage of silver as a panacea
for all our ills, real and imaginary, seek
to establish their position by statistics

Of certain great commodities liks wheat
and cotton, why, in the name OF candor,
do they not go back ut least a few years
further and show that in relation to
some of the most important items quot
cd the fall in prices between 1865 and
1878 double discounted any thing in the
way of u fall that has taken place since
1878; that it was greater in those eight
wears than in all the years since? Why.
for example, don't they remind the cot
ton planter that the price of middling cot
ton fell (Statistical Abstract for 1894,

We may admit that there has been Win

average price of commodities the eXtono

De noted iater) the substantial oorreob-
ness OF these two allegations; for my
oolieague would not knowingly make
any statement of fact without having
what he conceived to be good ground 1or
dolng so. The errors Of my friend oil
arise from the fact that he is drawing
important conclusions from premises
that are too meager; he Is trying to get
tail only.
The trouble with my coll eague Is one
that Is common to the whole tribe
OF FREE SILVER MEN:
the year 1878 Is to them what the year
of the Hegira is to the Mohammedan, 1t
is the point of time from which every
thing is reckoned. But no Legitimate
inference csn be drawn in relation to
these matters without examining also
the course of events before 1878. and
making fair comp arison of the two
series of facts. If upon making such ex
animation we find that there Was never
during the period of so-called tbimetal-
ism" a marked fall in prices, and If we
IND also that the price of silver kept
even pace with the average price Of COM
mod1ties before as we'll as after 1878, then
indeed would cantlor compel the admis-
Sion that the gentleman'H differences are
well founded. But it, on thesother hand,
such investigation reveals fall in prices
during the so-called "bimetallic" period
as great as that since 1873; and If the
rough parallelism between the price OF
silver and that of commodities in general
did not exist before 1873, then will frank
ness foroe my colleague to confess that
his lnferences are not tenable, and that
in common honesty they must be aban-
doned.
LET US APPLY THE TEST.
The chart to which l now invite the
attention Of the committee is one that I
drew since the speech of my colleague
was delivered. 1t shows the course Of
average prices by ten-year periods from
1887 to 1864, inclusiye. The table
from which it was drawn was prepared
by Augustus Sauerbeck, one of the au-
thorities quoted by my friend in another
part of his speech. Indeed, in the first
rehearsal of this speech, as delivered by
him in Duluth last August, and after
wards in other places. the gentleman
printed this table. But by singular
oversight he did not put it into chart
form. This was very unfortunate
omission. For had my friend appreoiat-
ed the great Importance of those figures
had he given them enough study to be |
come impressed with their real signifl-
canoe, and had he then put them intoJ
chart form and placed the chart in juxta-
position with the one considered by us
moment ago, he would have saved
himself and his readers from grievous
error.

ralated to goods, he says; Between
1859 and 1909 it fell in the ratio Of 100 to
81. or 46 per cent That is, Mr.. Chair
man, the average prices of commodities
rose enorm ously during those years.
The copIpittee will kindly note this
fact, as shall revert to it in another
connection. But for tho present. desire
special attention to the succeeding state
ment Of Mr.. Jevons:
From 1909 to 1a49 it (the value Of mon

ratio of 1916 10 $40, or by lao per cent"
That ir, Mir. Chairman, there was an
extraordinary" fall in prices-a fall at
the ration of "a to 1000-a fall which in
extent and duration far exceeds that
since 1878.
Thus we see, MIR. Chairman, that our
recent fall in prices is by no means IN
exampled" in eithar scope or duration.
1t WAS greatly exceeded by the fall in
prices near the beginning of the century,
during the so-called bimetallic' period
And thus disappears the chief founda-
ton Of my colleagues entire argument
and Of the whole free silver contention.
THE IMPOTENCE OF SILVER TO
AFFECT PRICES.
2. The chart is equally severe on
another very touching argument of the
free silverites Silver and its advocates
are very sympathetic, very anxious to
ameliorate the sad condition of men;
silver is claimed to be able and willing
to restore prices. ~ But it is well
worthy Of note, Mr.. Chairman, that dur
