A DANGERO US FEVER.

A few years ago Kansas City was
looked upon as a marvelously pro-
gressive place. The rapidity OF Its
growth was indeed one Of the won
ders Of the age, and the substantial
character Of its buildings and Its
commerce inspired the belief that
no calamity could check Its swift
career Now reports agree that 1t 10
almost q dead town. Real estate
speculation was the malady that
prostrated the young giant. All the
lands suitable for farming or garden
ing purposes, within reasonable
distance from the city, and suscepti-
BILE OF high cultivation at q profit,
were plated into town lots aud held
at a higher price per front foot than
they were really worth by the acre.
Business men were compelled TO pay
enormous rentals, on account OF the
Fictitious values placed upon the
lands. Working men aud others OF
moderate means who sought TO es-
tablish homes In the vicinity Of the
city were deprived Of tho privilege oil
doing W, and solely for the benefit OF
that most useless OF all occupations
real estate speculation. Everything
needed for the sustenance Of the peo-
pie wss shipped q long distance, he
cause producen could not afford "a

The COST OF living was consequently
out of all proportion to the usual In.

FEW AALCONTENT.S.


Although the silver question has
been practically taken out Of poll
tics, at lenst for the time being, the
democrats and the radical mono
metallists refuse to accept the happy
compromise embodied In the con.
Terence bill. The extreme gold men
declare that the Infusion Of 30 much
silver into the currency Of the coun-
try will have the effect of driving
gold out Of the United States. They
made the same prediction upon the
pnssnge Of tho Bland act. Vet to-
day there is more gold by half a
million dollars in tho United States
than there was when the Bland act
became law. With n financial
credit higher than that of any other
power on earth, and with oppor-
tunities for investment that can not
be equaled elsewhere, the United
States Is IN no danger of being
drained Of her gold. The prediction
IL about on par with fear that
the waters Of the earth might pos
sibly ret ut defiance the laws Of ma
turo and run up hill, thereby drain
Ing the seas and flooding the mount
aims. Gold seeks America as naturally
and as Inevitably rs the water seeks
the sea, aud just as the vapors that
are sucked up from the ocean and
carried 10 the highlands must re-
turn to tho sea, 30 the gold that
flows out OF the United States must
eventually return, because in this
country IL can find Its most profita-
BILE field Of Investment.
On the other hand, the democrats
opposed the conference silver bill
because 1t disposed Of question that
has long been before the peoples
question that tho democratic party
could not or would not face, and
since IL has at last been met by the
republican party, and In n way that
will be satisfactory TO nine-tenths Of
the people, the democracy can not
restrain an inherent disposition to
object.
For the time being the silver ques-
tion will be taken out OF American
politics. A few will be discon tented
with the results that will attend the
settlement. Here and there may be
found man who expects legislation
to usurp the functions of industry,
sobriety and thrift. Such men are
always discontented. That this law
will remove loug existing obstacles
in the way of the industrial progress
of the country, however, Is not ex-
pecting too much, and 1t will not
drive the gold out of the country
either.
