■■gcrzoll on Silver.
The silver question shorn of its
utelegg intricacies is thus simply
and plainly presented by 001. Robt.
G. Ingersoll:
“I said I would say one or two
words on such vulgar things as gold
and silver. lam satisfied, as lam
that I live, that the few who con
trol the debts, the currency, the
money of the world, have combined
either conscientiously or unconsci
entiously to mako the debtor pay
more than the creditor has a right
to ask.
The tendency has always been in
•this world to put the burdens on
those least able to bear them. In
barbarian countries the women
have to do all the work simply be
cause they are the weaker—that is
all. And 'he others, being the
stronger, do not expend their own
strength in working, but expend
their strength in making the weak
er do their work.
This is precisely the same in our
civilized society today. Between
the rich and the poor, if the bur
den is to be borne in this country,
ij is borne by the poor—always.
They are the first to suffer. Let
the blast of war blow over the
country, who goes to war ? Who
goes to the front 1 The million
aires ? Not one. Who goes 1 The
presidents of great corporations!
No. The men who preside over
great vaults of gold 1 *Not much,
The poor man goes because nine
times out of ten the poor man is
the more patriotic. The poor bear
the burdens of this country and
the world. Only a few days ago
onfmoney »a8 gold and silver—
money that had been the money of
man for thousands of years. Our
silver was demonetized and gold
made the standard.
There is no man in the United
States with ingenuity enough to
account for the demonetization of
silver in 1873. There is net one.
t do not think the few should have
the right to combine to increase
the value of what people call money
against the debtors and in favor of
the creditors. I want free coinage
of all the silver you can min« from
the mines of America, and if there
are those who are not willing to
take silver we will not trade with
them.”
Citric acid is believed to owe its
great virtues to its strong affinity
for, and solvent powers over urea,
with which it unites to form a sol
uble salt, says the Medical World.
Uric acid is tqe bane of civil
ized man, and tojthis chemical body
in some form or other we| are most
indebted for our various forms of
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and
kindred diseases. Lemon juice acts
most beneficially in many of tqese
cases. It is true, complications and
intercurrent diseases arise over
which citric acid may have no ef
fect, and which must first be dis
placed before any amelioration can
be looked for, and it is where a
comprehensive knowledge and care
fully culled medical experience
comes into play. But it does not
remove the fact that an anterior
intelligent use of citric acid might
have prevented the whole train of
degenerative changes.

i A large proportion of the culti
vated land in India is irrigated by
water raised from welU This is
not pumped, as is generally assuiu
i ed in this country, by means
I windmills or steam power, but it
i is lifted laboriously, a small bucket
ful at a time, by moans of the well
s sweep, so familiar in the postern
I portions of this country, or by the
use of cattle, which raise the water
■ from the wells by a rope and wind
; lass. 'I he volumes of water raised
by such processes are so small that
i they must be handled with the
i greatest care in order that they
shall reach the lands without being
wholly absorbed in the conveying
ditches, while the laborers who per
i form the work are content to re
i ceive as wages from two to six
cents per day. By such processes
a family of two or three and
as many women raise on from two
to five acres of land sufficient pro
duce to support them throughout
the year. It is unnecessary to
compare sueh rates of wages and
such a mode of life with that lived
by the inhabitants of this country.
The patience, care and penury ex
ercised by these simple orientals,
> which enables them to eke a satis
factory existence out of such labor
and wages, will never be practiced
by American farmers, and will,
therefore, never enable us to de
velop and utilize m&uy of the mi
nor water resources of the country
which aid in making the cultiva
tion on the semi-arid lands of India
so generally productive.
The name "Arizona” is from a
beautiful old Aztec tradition which
teaches that the earth is the off
spring of the sky; that, long prior
to the present race of men, the
earth was peopled by a race of gi
ants, who in time died off, leaving
the earth uninhabited. After a
long time, a celestial virgin, a child
of one of the sixteen great deities,
who rule all things, catno down to
the earth, and, being well pleased,
remained for a long time its sole
occupant. Once when in deep
sleep, a drop of dew from heaven
fell upon her, and she bore two
children, a son and daughter, from
whom have sprung all the people of
the earth. The name of this ce
lestial virgin was Arizuua “the
beautiful, or sun-beloved maiden.
Meat is the most urgent necessi
ty of the French people, says an
exchange. The dairy must furnish
veal. Every calf that is not need
ed for the dairy is fattened up to
two, three or four months for veal,
while in America milk-fed calves
are vealed at from five to six weeks
and sell at from $5 to $8 per head.
In France they bring from sls to
S3O The calves are fed milk and.
finished off the last week with eggs
beaten up in milk. The veal calf
must have the whi‘.e of the eye of
a white color to bring the best
price. Such calves produce deli
cate flesh-colored meat with fat.
It is said that the scat city of
rain in Southern California this
season has caused the price of hay
to advance to S2O per ton. Th*
prevailing price for that commodi
ty there when the conditions are
favorable to the raising of big crops
is from $6 to $lO. Arizona will
now have an opportunity to ship
hay to California at a fair profit to
i the shipper. Large quantities haae
already been shipped from the Sail
River valley.
O r Exhibit.
A late issue of the Bouton Globe,
pays the following compliment to
our extibit at the Midwinter fair:
•‘Arizona baa never made * fruit
exhibit outside of bar own confine*
until now. December 1, 1898. the
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce
decided to make a allowing of the
agricultural resources of the Salt-
River valley at ?ho Midwinter fair.
The Cham tier had its local show ut
some 250 jars of fruit which had
been put up since July 1, 1893. It
wa? promised thirty l*ox«« of oran
ges if it would make the exhibit,
*o it called for the &«*i*iHuce of. the
people of Maricopa county in
which the Salt River vail* y »Y lo
cated, and in two \veek«
sufficient funds and additional ar
ticles to exhibit, to wurrunt the
fulfillment of the project.
Tins exhibit is very prettily in
stalled in u booth of blue and gold
in a very desirable location imme
diately under the dome of the hor
ticultural building, upstairs on the
north si le. The following are
tmong the articles displayed: Or
anges, lemons, oliv.-s, dates, grapes,
nectarines, peaches, figs, pears, nuts,
strawberries, apricots, pomegran
ates, Japanese persimmons, al
monds, honey, prunes, plums, Pru
uus Siiuoni, quinces and applet.
There are also a bale of sixth crop
of alfalfa hay, six barrels of veget
ables, among which ia a Bermuda
sweet potato weighing forty pounds,
besides a collection of twenty three
jars of different kinds' of grains
Che only fresh fruit on exhibitieu
is the oranges. These are excel
lent and visitors are asked to taste
them. A California orange grower
says of them, ‘The oranges I have
here tested are very similar in
sweetness, delicious ness of flavor,
thinness and hig! c rof skin, and
general excellence to the famous
Indian rive s oranges of Florida
Nothing in California equals them.*
The exhibit fully demonstrates
the productiveness of Arizona’s fa
vored valley, which has now over
26,000 acres planted in fruit and
200,000 trees are being set out this
season. The fruit ripens from two
to six weeks earlier tli4n in Cali
fornia and the land sells at from
$25 to SSO an acre including per
petual water rights ”
Were the taxable property of
Arizona as shown by the census
returns, divided among the popu
lation of the territory, there would
be $3,168 per capita. South Caro
lina has but $348 per capita, Mis
sissippi $352, North Carolina $361,
and Arkansas $403. Rhode Island
has $1,450, and New York $1,430
per capita. Now are not a people
who have done so much better for
themselves, as shown by the above
figures, fully as well entitled to
statehood as those commonwealths
which make showings so much
poorer t
A novel idea has taken possession
of not a few residents of Tomb
stone. Instead of depositing their
money in savings banks they de
posit it with Uncle Sam, *nd this
is the way they do it* They get
money orders for SSO payable to
themselves and leave them in. the
office uncalled for for one year,
when they renew them for another
year.
The Gazette says that an eastern
syndicate has purchased 6000 acres
of land south of Phoenig fipm Mi
<1 1
chael Wormser, the purchase prioe
being given at $200,000. A fruit
1 colony will be planted on the land.
