=aiE AND
COMMERCE
WALL STREET.

New York, Sept. 30.-Dealings in
stocks underwent a decided sl~lrinkage
today from the large volume of yes
terday. The desire to see the militsrN
parade in connection With thu Hud-
son-Fulton celebration had the effect
Of emptNing out many of the down
town offices and left the stock mar
ket in a stagnant condition in the
afternoon. The market was dull and
sluggish. The slackened activity of
the trading was partly due to eau
ton on account of the October LIST
money settlements. The amount
called for by the October interest and
dividend disbursements is estimated
ut SIZE. 600, 600 and there was some
apprehension that funds accumulated
to meet this requirement might have
been placed in call loans until needed
aud that the recall of these loans
then might dislodge stocks held on
collateral.
The discount rate was retained a
~ per cent by the private discount
rate advanced in London.
The money outlook there gives rise
to some unsettlement of sentiment.
The London selling helped to turn
prices downward here after an effort
to lift them during the first hour. The
pressure on United States Steel wa
conspicuous in spite of the fact that
the month just closed showed an out
put of steel and iron in excess of all
preccdents and demand is reported
still in fun force. Recent buyers OF
United States steel have urged nos
only the great expansion in the in
dustry but their hopes for an increast
in the dividend disbursement not only
to 4 but to a ) per cent basis,
Besides influential selling of United
States Steel there was some pressure
on Reading which proved a weight on
the general market. The Angus
earnings of the Union and southern
Pacific were equally significant Of thu
growth of traffic in that part of the
country, the net earnings for Union
Pacific showing a gain of $77l,55l
equal to 20 per cent and the southern
Pacific $1.017,09G. equal to 81 pei
cent over August of last year.

To The Public
stipation,

A few facts | have CLEANED in
thirty years dental practice:
l. That the mercury in amalgam
filling impairs the tooth structure,
so that it will only last an average
of two years.
2. That pyorrhea, or scurvy,
can be cured.
8. That any one is wasting
money who has dental work done,
until pyorrhea is thoroughly cured.
4. That gold filings are good in
half the cases.
5. That a gold crown is the
surest way to save a tooth.
6. That a hollow bridge is a
failure.
7. That | have about twenty re-
sponsible citizens of this valley that
l have absolutely cured of pyorrhea,
commonly called scurvy, and l will
refer any one to them to confirm
this statement. Any one wishing
information along these lines, may
call, and l will take pleasure in
proving these assertions.
Teeth extracted without pain,
with a doctor in attendance, free.
l have as much legal right to kill a
patient as any dentist in Arizona,
yet | prefer to have a doctor pres
ent and pay him myself.

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free.

Stafford NEEDS MORE
SCHOOL ROOM

On Saturday, May Sth, special
election will be held in Stafford
school district for the purpose of
levying tax to raise funds to pay
for an addition of two rooms to the
present school building.
The taxpayers of this district
should try to realize the necessity
for more school room. The number
of children of school age is growing
each year and they must be provid-
ed for.
The Stafford school building is not
large enough to provide room for
all, and unless an addition of sever
al rooms is built at once, it will be
necessary to secure more room on
the outside, as was done the present
year for the primary and first grade.
This arrangement is not only un-
satisfactory, but is expensive, and
it will be much better and more
economical to go down in our
pockets and assess ourselves a small
tax at this time and build the ad-
dition to the present school building,
that is SO much needed, than to
lease an outside building. The chill
dren should all be kept together in
one central building, if possible.
Next year there will be a good
sized class in the ninth grade, and
this class should be taken care of.
Unless more room is provided at the
present building, the ninth grade
will have no place for study, and
this grade should be kept up for
many reasons.
If the election is carried, it means
that a contract can be let at once
and the additional two rooms will
be completed and ready for oc-
cupancy by September.
Now, let us get together and vote
to raise the money needed to pay
for this addition, and provide room
for every child of school age in the
district

commission was appointed In 1882
which prepared a bill that was put on
the statute books, lasting six years 1t
was at this time that James g. Blaine
took most active part in tariff dis
cussions. 1t was in the early eighties
that William r. Morrison of Illinois,
Democratic chairman Of ways and
means, prepared his well known hor-
izontal reduction of 20 per cent on all
taxed products, which was defeated.
During Cleveland's first administra-
ton the Mills bill was powerful is
sue, and in 1888 the tariff fight result
ed in the election Of BENJAMIN Har-
rison to the presidency. He stood for
a high protective tariff. As result
the Mckinley bill was enacted. putting
the duties over the marks reached dur
ing the civil war.
The Wilson Bill.
But the revulsion which followed re-
suited in the reelection of Cleveland
in 1892, with a Democratic congress.
Then resulted the Wilson bill, provid-
ing for wholesale reductions, particu-
larry as regarding iron and steel man
ufactures. 1t should be noted that the
Dingley bill in 1897 retained practi-
cally the iron and steel duties laid
down in the Wilson measure.
Though William Mckinley was elect
ed on the financial issue in 1896, his
first act after being sworn in as presi-
dent was the calling of an extra ses-
sion Of congress to repeal the Wilson
German tariff bill. The result of that
session was the Dingley law, named
for its author, Nelson Dingley, Jr., of
Maine, which put the schedules prac-
t1cally back on the Mckinley basis.
Following is a, comparison between
the old Dingley tariff rates and those
OF the new Pavna hill.
