world who attempt to get through life on the
embrace the rich who do not have to work and
the poor who won't. Providence has given Us
all place out Of which to make a sphere OF
usefulness. There are fields to be titled, crops
to be garnered and mines to be developed on
every side. Money does not grow out of the
ground already mied and coined, but the
rough material is there and pluck, persever-
ance and hard work will do the rest. Per-
sonal pride keeps thousands from being wealthy.
Lit apoor man once get notion that he has
blue blood in him and he is ruined for the rest
of his life. He poor boy peddhng saw
dust to saloons or retailing fruit on which he
only clears four bits day, and despises him.
In few years the poor poy begins to reap the
reward of his industry and becomes man of
means and position, while the lazy, useless,
and blsod-proud companion of his early days
is still at the foot of the ladder, unwilling to
place his foot upon the first round. Men are
constantly complaining of hard times who in
few years spend money enough for whisky
and tobacco to have built themselves good
homes There ara to, day hundreds of mining
men stalking up and down Pine street in San
Francisco, who are glad to nibbe at the free
lunch tables. They contrast their daily diet
of beer and beans with the recollections OF
champagne and trufles, and think that the
country is going to the dogs. 1t is the peo-
pie, not the country. that are going to the
dogs. The country never was in better fix,
but the people, as Farmer Treadway would re-
mark have become "shiftless calamities. "
The masses have become tired of supporting
the non producers in idleness The saloon
keeper who once sold four cents worth of adul-
terated whisky for twenty-five cents, thinks
the country has caved in because men insist
ON better article now for ten cents Yet he
still sits behind the bar of his decaying saloon
and considers that he has personal grievance
against every passerby who will not come i'll
and spend five dollars with the bummers and
loafers that cluster about his stove. The min
ing manipulators think that the bottom of the
country has dropped out because they can no
longer dignity worthless old prospect hole by
the title of a mine, and float off 100, 900 shares
on the public at 81 share and upwards, and
then levy % cent assessments on the stock
every sixty days. When laws are passed com
polling brokers to deal squarely with their Gus
toners, and making it impossible to break
market with stock which does not belong to
the NJ, the unfortunate victims of this high
handed outrage annouoe that the country Is
given over to Communism and disorder, and
threaten to take themselves to New York, to
which locality may the Lord speed their going.
The mining secretary who can no longer get
$500 month for signing the stock certii
Gates of three wild cat mining companies, is
quite positive that the country is going to the
dogs. If the broken down mining sharps,
brokers, clerks and secretaries now subsisting
on the cold beans layout of Pauper alley,
would scatter to the fields, the foot hills, the
valleys and the mountains, and 60 to work,
the men who have been dealing in wild cats
and paper locations, rummage about IN the
hills of Nevada until they have discovered and
located bona fda quartz ledge Let the |
timid capitalist who is afraid to invest unless
he can double his money in five years, drag |
his idle gold from his money vaults, and put |
it in motion once more Ii it only pays him
five per cent year, and gives hundred peo-
pie employment, it has contributed its share
toward stirring up the pool of business stagna
ton now covered with the green scum of idle
ness and distrust. The wealth of the future
will never spring from the chin music of the
resent Clear the decks of the idle, the vic
ous, the cowardly and the grasping. Then
induce few live capitalists to take the lead,
start the ball of industry rolling, and in one
rear the sun OF new era of prosperity would
