Of a clearly-defned tunnel. the sides

outset at IN angle of from twenty to
thirty degrees, then turning at the

little beyond this entrance, IS a heap
Of debris, which consists of the sand
taken from the passage. A few feet

Hot . Boom. but some Facts Wanted.

This county. as is well known to its
residents. il largely made up OF unoc-
cupied. and conseqnently unimproved
lands. But scattered about over the
county. and in fact in the counties
contiguous. are men who have be
come in good circumstances. finan-
cially, pursuing certain lines Of farm
industry. These persons have no
better lands than are the unoccupied
lands all about them.
Now what we want are the facts in
regard TO the grand results from
their labors and industries respect
lively.
For instance. there is the farm Of
J. J. Lowry, Of this town. consisting
OF $50 acres. under the management
OF j. &. Williams. The business has
been raising and fattening hogs
which have been disposed Of in this
market. the result having been high

DIR. j. J. Clemmer has been breed

as have the Reid Bros. and James

We want them.

many private sales which have given
them handsome returns for their la

and figures are what we want.
b. p. Norton has been operating a
dairy farm marketing his butter to a
regular line Of customers i'm the cities
of the East and West. Let us have
the result for the benefit Of our
county.
=. A. Converse has been conducting

results have been satisfactory.
w. c. Nichols & Son have been
breeding Holstein cattle, Shropshir.

several years conducting portion Of

general result for the benefit of the
public.
Then we have horse breeders and

suit of their labors to give to oul
readers and the public.
The nnoccupied lands adjoining

money upon them will require indus

What Monopoly Has Done.

We came across u curious statement
the other day concerning the wealth
of this country and the concentration
and control Of it, which, under our
laws. has passed into very few hands.
Our total wealth Of all kinds is esti-
mated at S45, OOO, 100000. Some yarie-
ties are still increasing, such as rail
roads. banks and other forms Of per-
sonal property, but farm lands in all
the northern states east Of the Mis-
souri, river have declined from 80 10
40 per cent in selling value since $3.50,
the cause of which is to be found in
our bu4lepsome loads Of state and
national taxation. much the largest
part of which the farmers are COM
PEELED to bear. But there is one
American family whose private for
tunes amount to $274, OOO, 900, consider
ably more than one-half Of the total
valuation of taxable property in Iowa.
There are five citizens with fortunes
averaging $50, 600, 900 each; fifty with
SIC. 900, OOO: 100 with $5,GOO,OOO: 200
with S3.OOO,OOO: 500 with $1,000, 900,
and 1000 with 100000. In other
words. 1856 persons own more than
"a. 900. 900, 900, or twice AS much as all
the money in the country. A less
number of men. not ~ exceed l,OO--
railroad magnates, princely bankers
and heads Of vast protected corpor-
atoms have as complete control as
actual ownership Of at least S25.DOO,-
OOO. 900 more. Railroad capitalization
alone amounts to not far from IS, 600, :
GOO. 600. Thus less than 1900 men
control about x.S, ZOO, OOO, 900 Of the
x45. 600, 100000 Of the wealth of the
country.
And it may not be amiss to inquire,
what has produced this wealth? La
Dor has been its only source, and is
the me ans whereby it is maintained
and augmented. Monopoly of mines
and forests and railways aided by a
system of national taxation that en-
riches the few ut the expense Of the
many, obtainable only through bad
legislation, has produced such results
And, as one of the worlds great
thinkers has said: Labor war the
first price, the original purchase
money that Was paid for all things
1t was not by gold or silver, but by
labor, that all the wealth Of the world
was originally produced. - De-
Moines Leader
And the singular thing about the
above article is not what it says, but
in what it omits, viz: that the giant
monopoly in the United States ane
the one behind and giving life ant
vigor to all Others is the money mo
nopoly, the exclusive property OF the
national banks.
