The country is now in the enjoyment
Of an industrial system which in a quarter
Of century has assured larger national
growth, more rapid accumulation AID

5ere ever before known to history. The
American people will now be openly and
formally asked to decide whether this
system
SHALL BE RECELEssLY ABANDONED

Ga the result of such an issue, fairly pre-.

10 roo n FOR doubt. One thing only is
necessary 10 assure success, complete
harmony and cordial corporation on the
part of al Republicans, on the part both

who are eager to follow. The duty isnot
one merely OF honorable devotion to the

is one demanded by tie instinct Of self

does $500 square miles with an aver
age depths of forty feet. no man has
vet found its outlet. Fresh streams
pour into IL from all sides. aud yet to-
day IL is briny as when first discovered.
IL Is one fifth pure salt. and so dense is
il that it is impossible to sink In it. IL
has puzzled scientists from all quar-
tiers OF the globe TO tell what becomes
of the water that constantly flows into
its capacious nav, and while some
have given rs solution the possibility
of a subterranean outlet. and some
have accounted for its disappearance
by solar evaporation. no absolute salts
factory theory has yet been assigned
for the lake maintaining its average
volume since It's first discovery.
Strange 10 relate, while there is no
outlet 10 this saline mass there Is yet
strong current found IN two places.
Old seamen who have navigated the
lake for years have always held TO the
theory that this was the fastest water in
the world for rowing. for two reasons.
One of these was that the water being
SO buoyant boat would naturally iloat
higher and therefore displace less wa
ter; and the other. that the water be-
ing SO dense the blade of the oar neces-
sarily had much more purchase because
of the great resistance OF the heavy
water. 1t is further argued that the
greater the speed of the boat the less
the displacement, and hence the faster
ought 10 be the time made In covering
a certain distance. One of the pecu-
liarities OF the lake Is its proneness Co
sudden and totally unexpected storms.

which arc only few miles 10 the east
ward. Sometimes they rush down the
narrow canons. and, stealing silently
across the plains between the noun
tains and water, spend their force on
current of air coming across the lake
from the north. AT the point of con-
tact the storm will be terrific. and
then there Is great danger to unsea-
