The Growth of Incomes.

Mr., Russell Sage has been inter-
viewed by the Wall street Daily
NeWs about Jay Gould and his for
tune. He said:
"There is not a man in America
or the world at large who absolutely
owns and contr OILS, and has register
ed in his own name, as many stocks
as Mr.. Jay Gould. 1t is no exag.
geration to say that he draws more
revenue from his invested capital
than does any living soul.
sin order that some idea may be
had of his wealth, it is simply
necessary to take three of his
stocks: Manhattan, of which he
owns and has registered $10.000,O0O,
Missouri Pacific $12 100000, and
Western Union $4,000 600. OF
these three, independent of his vast
number of bonds and other dividend
paying securities, he draws for divi
dends over 100000 a year. His
income from other sources, of course
amounts to four or five times as
much.
"People do not appreciate what
the amount OF an income of man
like Mr.. Gou'd means. 1t will be
readily seen that he cannot com.
mence to use for his own personal
uses even a small part of the interest
which the dividend money alone
would yield He must reinvest it
and he does reinvest it, When you
consider that there are scores, and
might say hundreds, of people whose
yearly rentals, dividends, interest on
bonds, etc., amount to. we'll, from a
half million to two million dollars a
year, it will be readily seen that they
have considerable surplus to put into
new investments. The creation of
securities which continually goes on
indicates that there are plenty of
of people who are willing to put their
money into them"
1t is plain as two and two make
four that hisprocess going on among
a few persons will, aye, must in a
comparatively short space of time,
absorb all the property in the coun.
try and also all the products of in
dustry, save bare support for the
inhabitants, who in state of ahject
poverty will descend lower and lower
in the scale of humanity each gener.
alton till the population becomes o
nation of serfs like far away Eastern
peoples. This is the identical process
which has come down thro' the ages
reaching away back into the dark
ness of Egypt and the oldest nations
of Asia. To stop this process Of
millionaire building and so frame our
government as to make it impossible,
is the problem that the people are at
present laying hold of. The Con.
gress elected last week is the initial
step

An Open Letter to the Press.

To THE EDITORS OF THE Ortord Press +:
AT meeting of the Russellville w. c.
T. U. held the 9Th Of 1lth mo-, 1890, the
misleading advertisement 10 the Press of the
Goth ult., concerning the expense Of prohibit
ton in Cecil Co., Md, was fully considered
and unanimously condemned as being hurt
full TO the public by disappearing the
financial status to taxpayers and thus in
auencing them to oppose prohibition.
Ii is very plain you did not consider the
contents of that article calculated to advance
public morals or it would have been treated
as other news matter.
And further it is inconsistent for paper
protesting TO advocate prohibition to put
the reformers on the defensive with finan-
cial consideration hanging over them.
1t is enough for us TO fight the liquor
power in the open field without having il
skulking behind the moral breastworks Of
the public press.
We did not suspect the Oxford Press,
after standing the temptations Of the amend.
ment campaign In our own State, would
waver by those offered from neighboring
one. 1t will require high pile Of temper
ance editorials, such as we are accustomed
to get in the Press, to make amends for this
breach of confidence heretofore enjoyed by
your worthy paper.
Signed by direction ofthe meeting,
MARY K. BRosIUs, Pres.

Woman's Intuition.

An old gentleman over seventy, came int

The day turned chilly and he was obliged
to forego his visit TO the fair.

for going away from home thus unprepared ,
he said: II thought it was going 10 be
warm; my wife told me to take my over
coat, but wouldn't. Women have more
sense than men ANYWAY"
A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come from
intuition may it not be that they are more
close observers Of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt TO strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems Of
life, more frequently than the lords of
creation.
According to DIR. Alice Bennett, who
recently read paper on Brights disease
before the Pennsy lvania State Medical
Society, persons subject to bilious attacks
and sick headaches, who have crawling sem
sations, like the flowing of water in the
head, who are tired all the time and have
unexplained attacks Of sudden weakness,

If everybody can have silver
changed from bars or bullion to coin
for nothing, how can there be d.f-
ference between an ounce or pound
of silver in one form or the other?
And yet half the members of the
House of Representatives, and par
ticularly the chairman of the com
mittee on coinage, weights and
measures, were burtheneG with the
idea that free coinage would lit
everybody bring rs cents worth Of
silver to the mint and have it made

norance or stupidity, whichever it is,
be excused in those who assume to
make the laws? Our congressional
friend Stump was one of that class.

There is no mistake that party does
