The present year, so far, has shown q

A land SC full of industry and enter
prise, so ieeming with activity and
prosperity, where cap ital meets such
sure and speedy reta rms, Is certainly
prefer able for money to section
where grand surplus Is piled up be-
cause no profitable investments offer
and where money goes begging AT
rates ranging from to Z per cent.
And vet, az often as this unvsrnished
tale of advantage to capitsl is told, u
but infrequently produces conse-
luercea. The funds continue boarded
n ths East and tho politicians abuse
q allowed TO negative there the I'M
and unalterable facts OF
daily trade.
