The figures, which Mr.. Bliss must have
mcnt.
Now whet l. "the visible result" In yu-
ginis? What the stockholders call our act
OF Reputation was the Riddleberger bill Of
1884, and without taking time to make full
investigator I Offer the following sample
facts to Mr.. Andrews
CAPITAL IN MANUFACTURES.
"Tn 1869 the capital invested 10 mauufsc-
lures was Sl3, 1872, 1855; in 1880 1t was $780,
p6S.990-an increase Of 100 per cent. For
1885 only partial reports for that year we're
obtained; bus these furnish q ratio from
which il IL deduced that Ia 1885 the capital In
manufactures had swollen 20 SAC, 500, 4S5, OF
which very large proportion mast have
come from beyond the State. For 1886 the
best data sttsinabie give northern invest
ments In Virginia at $4,000, 600, the largest
ever made IN Que year. The indications now
are that. in this present year (iSSs), from
$4,000, 600 10 S20,000.000 OF northern capt
tai will be invested in railroads, mines, fur.
naces, and lands in the mineral districts OF
the State.D
In every department OF manufactures
except spirits there has been an in
hS an lurhtuNcs ~ may bC W'D-
toned that Notwithstanding the excise
tax, from 1881 10 1887 there has been an
increase in manufactured tobacco Of 40 per
cent. and In cigars and cigarettes So per
cent. whilst in every department Of our In
dustries new branches are being constantly
introduced.
In 1860 the State had 1850 miles OF com.
pleted railroad. In 1873 there were LAB
miles reported TO the Board Of Public
Works, and in 1881 2,7l0 miles. including
500 miles for this year, reported TO
the Railroad Commissioners. This increase
represents al expenditure far beyond a
mileage proportion. in consequence OF I'm
provements IN construction and equipment.
There are at present several hundred miles
more under survey and construction. The
most extensive electric railway In the world
has been lately constructed, aud for some
months successfully operated. In Richmond.
One important enterprise involving milf
Hons has been almost created since 1892. the
year OF repudiaiion-to wit, the Norfolk and
Western railroad and all that depends upon
it. The seventh annual report Of the CONS
pany shows total increase IN its mineral
traffic as follows:

This depreciation Is attributable in our

That "Free Whisky Plank.

Kansas Cty Journal.
The Democrats profess to have discov
cred that the plank in the Republican
platform that declares for the renewing
of the revenue ON liquors used for manu-
featuring purposes aud in the arts is mi
mical to temperance, and that it Is IA slap
at the irohibitUmists.
Democrats love Prohihi.ionist5 ! But
in their zeal to serve them, and not being
very well acquainted with Prohibition
doctrine, they ovcr-rcach themselves.
Democrats who have ever lived in IA
prohibition State would know better.
They would know that the PrOhibitiomists
have always complained Of the govern
mCnt for going into partnership with
the rnmsellers and making the liquor
business respectable by granting the deal.
Crs revenue license
prohibitionisls have ever opposed
license OF any kind that authorizes any
one to deal IN intoxicating liquors.
Persons who have wished to deal in
them have in some instances, procured
revenue licenses and have set up in the
business in defiance Of local prohihliory
laws: hence. the complaints of PrOhIbl
tionists against the revenue laws.
The Democrats are such sticklers for
States rights and 'thc rights reserved t.
to tho people of the several States and
have howlch so much about central
lied government that intcrfCrcs with
local and individual affairs" that one
would think they could not consistently
find fault with proposition to remove
the revenue from all liquors and to leave
the temperance question to be dealt with
rs local one in each State or commun.
ity.
But consistency, except in stupidity
and opposition to progressive ideas j.
not a Democratic cha ractcristic.

Free Whisky"

new lOTk IFlDune,
This is delicious Because the Republi-
can National Convention has said that, in
IA certain contingency. the party would
favor the abolition of the whisky tax, il
is in favor of free whisky" The aboli-
ton is demanded by large temperance
element, but the declaration of the Re
publican party in favor of it,
in certain contingency, makes it a
free whisky" party, saloon" party.
The Republican party which has put on
the statute book every law against intcm
perance ever passed in Northern State;
which has enacted high license laws in
many States and prohibition laws in sew.
cral; which wages constant warfare
against the saloon; which is the sole hope
in this country to-day of all movements
against intemperance-this is the party of
Free Whisky
And which is the Temperance party
Oh, that is the party that has resisted
every attempt made TO restrict intcmper-
anCe in any Northern State; the party
that always fight every law aimed at the
saloons; the party that has nine tenths of
the liquor dealers among its members,
and can always carry the jails, the peni-
tentaries, and the aims, houses by an over
whelming majority! If you see a man
with gin-b blossoms on his nose and whole
gin-boquet in his breath the chances are
that he is Democrat. If you see man
who keeps a saloon the chances are that
he is a Democrat. If you see men voting
soidly In legislature against a temper
ance bill, you don't need to be told they
are Democrats. The Democratic party is
soaked with whisky, runs its campaigns
by money taken in oyer the whisky bar,
reeks with whisky at every pore. And
this is the new temperance party that.
under the astutc leadership of the New
York Evening Post, processes to be shock.
cd by the Chicago Conventions.
This is too much If joke to last.

BOYS! BE Kind to All.

There is a cripple in Chicago who is
pretty well known to the business
man He is newsboy, and his stand
is on the corner of Madison and
Dearborn streets. He sits in wheel
chair, and if any one wants to see
what good stuff the average Chicago
waif is made of, he wants to keep his
eye on this boy while. Every one
must have noticed how newsboys will
rush for patron; how each will try
to sell his paper to the exclusion of
the other boys. But try this boy
once. If there be dozen others
around, not one will try to interfere
with his sale. Moreover, they help
him; they wheel him around. one of
them wheels him down in the morn
ing and wheels him back at night
There is hardly "a newsboy in Chicago
who will not put himself to the great
est Inconvenience to make this boys
misfortune the lighter. And the boy
himselt-why he is the jolliest, cheer
lest boy in the city; his face is whole
lesson in contcntmcnt; he always has
bright smile and a pleasant word
for every one. Watch him as you
pass him by on the street, no matter
who you are, it will do you good; it
will make the world seem brighter and
better to You.
And some sunday when you have
nothing better TO do drop down to the
Waits Mission and sec him there.
You will find crowd of rough rush
ing, pushing boys, but you viii find
no one pushing him. He rides at the
head of the column, and the boys keep
to the pace he sets without murmur.
Behind him is struggling, crowding
mass. but it never reaches him. Should
any one attempt to hurry him with u
! push, it is probable that every other
BOY In the room would set ON the mis-
creant and pommel him black and
| blue. Truly, the newsbOys of Chicago,
IN their treatment of this boy, teach a
lesson in consideration and kindness
that many would do well to profit by.
| They are waits, ignorant and unedu-
Gated; but how does the treatment of
this cripple compare with the treat
ment that would be accorded him at
almost any school in Chicago? "Boys
will be boys" and boys do not mean
anything wrong, but most boys might
take a few lessons in kindness from
the newSboys and waits. The news
boy can swear most artistically, and
he is up TO all kinds of tricks, but
there is many lordy church member
who does not begin to be AS kind, as
Considerate, and rs gentle with the
afflicted as the average Chicago waif.
