WEALTH OF NATIONS.

A bulletin just issued by the census
bureau shows that the assessed valuation
of property in the United States in 1890
was $24, 249, $50, 804 as against SIC, 902,-
1913, 543 in 1880, S14, 17S, $50, 739 in 1870,
and S12,0S4, $50, 005 in 1860. The true
valuation was, Of course, much above
this at those dates. 1t was, for example,
$4S, 642, 600, 900 in 1880, when the asses
sor's figures indicated a little less than
ST., 900, 600, 900. For 1890 the census
computation of the actual value of prop
erty has not yet been finished, but the
expectation is that it viii reach about
$62, $40, 600, 900 or nearly $1,000 per in
habitant, as compared with S514 in 1850.
$3.50 in 1870, and $50 In 1880.
In aggregate wealth the United States
is far ahead of the other civilized ma
lions Of the world, and is increasing
Its lead every year. Manifestly, China
must be left out of the calcula-
ton, for no really trustworthy figures
even of population of that country are
had. As was natural to assume, the
United Kingdom stands second; but the
official computation for that country for
1891, its census year, is not yet at hand.
Reasoning from the ratio of known gain
in the past fifteen or twenty years, how
ever, it is safe to put that country's
wealth now at $4,000, 900, 900, and on
the like basis of computation, Frances
at $45, 900, 0O0, 900, Germany's at $50, 000,-
600, 900, Russia's at $25, 600, 600, 900, Aus
trials at $50, 900, 900 and Italys at
$4,000, 100000. In nearly all of these
nations there is gain in wealth per
capita as well as in the absolute; and the
gain in this respect in each country in
creases in proportion to the growth in
city population relatively to the growth
of the country in the aggregate.

A YEAR FOR LIQUIDATION.

From the Chicago News.
Even at this early date it can be clear
" estimated that most of the western
farmers will this year have a consider
able surplus after all expenses have been
paid and supplies laid in for another
year. In some states the crops are more
bounteous than in others, but in all they
are so generous that the average farmer
will be able to realize something over
and above his normal outlay for the
year.
This fortunate condition of affairs has
but one suggestion for the wise and
conservative farmer. He will at
once apply something on the in
debtedneSs, mortgage or otherwise,
that forms the stock in trade for
the Simpson-Peffer school of calamity
shriekers. He will reduce his individual
Indebtedness. In the aggregate millions
of dollars of membranes upon western
farms will be wiped out.
1t is such years as the present that the
utter preposterousness of the doctrine of
reputation, as taught by some Kansas
Alliance enthusiasts, is shown. If the
Kansas farmers should ever allow them
selves to be led away By this reputation
nonsense, such years or overlooking
prosperity as the present would be be-
reft OF meaning. Without the incentive
to liquidste in years OF plenty We would
be q race OF dFones.
This is an excellent year for paying

SHOUT TIE GOOD NEWS.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Figures have been received by the
Journal of the mortgages filed and re-
leased in fiftY-four counties of Kansas foI
| August The figures are most encourag-
| ing and show that the good work of pay
| ing off the Indebtedness of the state,
which has Been progressing steadily and
rapidly despite the hard times, is still go
| ing on. The total amount of farm mort
cages filed in these fifty-four counties
was 81 ,057 $3.50, and the total amount of
| farm mortgages released was 81 ,249. 30S.
The excuses of releases, or the amount
of decrease Of the farm Indebtedness for
the month was, therefore, S19l, 928.
During the month in the same counties
there were filed on city property new
mortgages in the sum of S342, 283, and
mortgages on city property were re-
leased in the sum of 1857 ,241, an excess
of releases of S24, 958. The total excess
of releases on both farm and town prop
erty was S216,SS6.
Here is most encouraging showing.
For the month of August in fifty-four
counties of the state the reduction of the
mortgage Indebtedness was 1915, 1885, At
that rate the reduction in the entire state
would be nearly twice that sum, or in
round numbers $433, 900. For the entire
twelve months of the year at the same
rate, the reduction would be So, 1876, 900.
However, the average will be higher
than that for the year, as August is by
no means one of the largest months.
The remainder of the year will see a
much larger average reduction, and the
total for the year 1891 will not be far
short of 81, 100000.
What cause is there for apprehension
in such state of prosperity? Those
who Cry out that Kansas is an
unfortunate state, and hard up,
do so in the face of facts.
They have no regard for truth,
for either they have taken no pains to
find it out, or they have knowingly falsi-
fed. There is not a state where the
farmers are in better financial condition
than in Kansas. There is not a state
where they are paying off their debts at
a more rapid rate. There is not state
where it is safer to loan money on good
real estate security. These facts are all
conclusivelv proven by the figures
brought out by the Journals inquiry
into the condition of the mortgage in
debtedness of the state.
OF the counties included in the fore
going statement thirty-two are in east
ern Kansas and twenty-five in central
Kansas.
They are representative counties, scat
tered pretty well over the state. To re-
peat in tabular form the figures of these
tifty-four counties for August are as
follows:

Gratis denounce Republican measures upon

repeal or amend them they give up the
job" The Mckinley law and the pension
laws have caused Democracy a vast

-Emporia Republican.
The same is true in regard TO the silver
question and every other important act
done by the Republican party. And this
is especially true in regard to the ques-
ton of rules governing the acts and pro-
ceedings of congress and the rulings of
Speaker Reed. Nothing in the way of
denunciation has been too vile and bitter
for the Democrats to use in character
izing the speakers actions, but it is as
certain as anything in the future can be
that they will adopt the same tactics
when they come into control of that
body, and carry the policy to greater
lengths than Mr.. Reed ever thought of.

THE DISAPPFARING RED MAN.

IBY EMERA ENGLEwILDE WILSON,
In the dim mist of the beginning
Before the paleface went a-sinning;
The noble red man did essay
That he was monarch of all you survey.
Happy he was in his warIike plans
As he marshaled his wierd and savage clans;
And little rocked he of the future fate
In store for him and his dusky mate.
But in the midst of his wild revels
The Mayhower sounded her landing bells:
And the unerring hand Of an all-wise God
Guided the pilgrims TO old Cape Cod
With sullen mein and vengeful ire.
The red man watched the kindling fire
OF the paleface on the eastern shore,
Where none dared tread in days of yore.
All, well had it been for poor ''Lo' then,
If he had been of the sons of men
Who in the swirl of coming strife
Adapt themselves to new modes of life.
But the savage mind could not endure
The blessings sought by the good and pure;
And the noble tho lights of men of deeds
Were sown in garden filed with weeds.
LOS" wrath burst forth like flames of old
And after struggles fierce and bold,
He folded his tepee in true unrest,
And sought home in the distant west.
But the broad expanse of the western plain,
Where many and many one was slain,
Must sooner or later in the race for gold,
Be seized by Uncle Sam and sold.
Until in this enlightened age,
The noble savage must bride his rage,
And on an insignificant farm
Lay down and rest his weary arm.
Thus the once fiercest race on earth,
Are cowed and humbled by men of birth;
Their possessions taken for others use,
And their person subject to cruel abuse.
But ere long Old Father Time with his sickle
keen
VIII reap the last of the brown sheen,
And in the happy hunting ground
The whole of the race viii soon be found.

The route in this instance led through

proving a safe and certain "way out" for
many hitherto debt burdened farmer

reason that it is already established and
being a private enterprise, it can afford
accommodations that no one would

That is to say, he backs up his decision
that the election of Call by the state

void, by appointing senator to serve
until the next legislature shall meet.

successor. The matter as it now stands
