 We will suppose that your occupation is sedentary you are chained. so to speak to the desk in some counting house. or per- haps to the loom in some vast mill where you are compelled to labor from morning tin night. Sunday syour only day of relaxation. You return home every evening weaeied mentally and bodily Your health and strength begin to fail. What will most effeet- ually recuperate your vital energy? The weightof evidence points to nc other conclu- sion than that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is your safest, most reliable sheet anchor. Use 1t persistently. and your system will soon regain it's pristine vigor. Every function will receive a hsalthful impulse. There is no remedy to equal the Bitters for nervousaes ss and want of sleep, dyspepsia, constipation and billiousness. It averts and remedies all forms of malarial disease, and is a preventa- tive of rheumatism and neuralgia.

A Mckinley clus in Pinai County.
Special to tas Tucson oi.iaen.i

FLORENCE; Anlz., Oct. 20si., isa6.
 A Mckinley and Hobart Clnb has been organized in this county, with this place as it's headquarters, for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Republican party.
 This has not been done with the view of taking any part in local politics dur ing the present campaign. The organ ization is not to be used either for or against the interests of any candidate now in the field, nor to create any .un- pleasant feeling or division in the Re publican party. It is simply intended to unite those who are prepared and willing to support the principles adopt ed by the great majority of the true lovers of our country--those who be- lieve in Patriotism, Protection and Prosperity
 Many Republicans, as stanch and true friends of silver as the most ram pant follower of Bryan, holding that silver is not the only, nor the most prom ineut issue of the campaign, and be- lieving that tue c. Q. P. can be safely entrusted to satisfactorily solve this great question, as in the past it has other questions equally serious, have decided to fall into line and prove their faith by their works. Tie club starts out with membership of fifty, with four precincts yet to Hear from. We expect to increase the nun Der to one hundred in a short time.

FLORENCE, October g, 1886. To the Editor Florence Tribune:
 Sir:-I am reliably informed that E. o. Stratton, the Mckinley gold-bug candidate for sheriff, has been exhibit ing at the Mammoth and other points a list of the names of Florence Demo crats he claims to be pledged to vote for him, and that my name is on that list. If this is true, desire hereby to warn the people of the San Pedro against being deceived by this class of electionecring trick am a. lifelong Democrat, but also an uncompromising silver man and no condition or consid- eration could induce me to vote for stratton or any other gold-bug, Me Kinley Republican of his ilk for the smallest office in the county. Even were Republican, I would not vote for Stratton, as am taxpayer, and thoroughly familiar with the official record of this man, who is tax-eater and not taxpayer. Your truly,

EVERYBODY INVITED
MARK smlTH SOUND ON SILVER.

The following IS an extract rom d speech delivered by Mark Smith ln Con- gress in 1892:
 Mr. Speake1.-Some time ago, when a bill amending the funding act of Arizona was under consideration on this floor, I took occasion to advocate the payment of our bonds in gold so tbat the debt could be aoated at per cent interest, and thus save the tax payers of Arizona the sum of $75,000 per annum. The press of the country, under the domination of the gold in terest, seized on my statement as an argument in favor of a single gold standard. and thus placed me before the country as Q believer in that doc urine.
 When the present silver debate was opened the gentleman from Massa- chusetts (Mr. Williams), who pre- sented the minority report on the Bland bill, took occasion to refer to my argument on the funding act and attempted to draw conclusions there from in favor of his side of the con troyersy. l interrupted the gentleman with the question: "Were we not forced to make the concessions we did make and ask gold bond, by reason of adverse legislation against silver ?' This question was not an swered to my satisfaction, and in my opinion can be answered only by an affirmative adnis- sion.
 The fact is that in Arizona we are on practically gold basis, ard if by making the concract payable in gold we could save the amount before stated, readily gave my consent to the prop osition made by the loan commission of Arizona.
 But why, I ask, was it ever neces- sary to ask a gold contract in order to obtain cheap interest on any good debt in the United states2
 It became necessary by the act oi 1873, which demonetized silver ana increased the purchasing power of gold The creditor classes, the money lend CTS, having in their possession the larg- est part of this favored coin, could al once demand payment in gold, and such demand is made in order to keel this one metal, this one money stand. ard, with it's accrued and accruing in terest in the hands of the favored few and by thus concentrating it increase more its purchasing power. This is 8 tendency to evil and evil only. II order to carry ont the scheme We arr constantly terrorized by the absurd CT. of cheap money. The country is grow ing tired of selfish prating of mono polists and money-lenders about Q 50 cent dollar"
 By the most gigantic and crimina mistake, to use no stronger term, tha history on it's darkest pages will evei record, the money of the constitution the money of our fathers, good money silver money, through which the com mon people transacted three fourths o the business of tic world, was degraded dishonored and demonetized by al obscure item in an appropriation bill Silver was struck down and gold ex
  alted. Debts contracted under ih bimetallic regime were at once largel, increased by decreasing the ability t. pay. The debtor must pay one dolla and half to aequit himself of on dollar obligation. Ye money-lender who have set up your tables in the tenn pie, beware lest they be overturned b, a power second only to that of Hin who once purged the sacred precinct by driving you hence at the sting Q the lash.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stacbian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is eu- tirely closed Deafness is theresult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (eaused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Cata rh Cure Send for circulars, free.

When railroad president F. NJ.

"Well," replied the brakeman, q guess if that were so, you railroad owners would not trouble yourselves so much about it" And from there to Jerome you could hear even the air brake.-fArizona Mining News.

A letter from William G. Rice, acting President of the Civil Service Commits sion, says that the supply of "eligioles" for the railway mail service from the territory of Arizona is not equal to the demand. This is an excellent position, and it seems strange that some of the bright young men of Pinal county do not prepare themselves for the exam ination.
