TO STOP STRIKES.

A correspondent in an exchange gives
the following common sense method OF
doing away with strikes:
Our firm has employed large number
of men for the last sixteen years, bat we
engage them by the hour; if they get 80
cents an hour they earn So day; il rs
cents, 81. so, etc. We have never had
strike, nor have we ever had our men ask
for less time than ten hours per day; in
fact many would like to work twelve
instead. What is the result? Many
employees own their houses, and their
families are we'll clothed aud comfortable.
Ii lie the steady workman who lays up
money every year who succeeds-not the
striker. think our manufacturers and
builders make a mistake in not hiring all
their men by the hour: If they did my
belief is there would be no cry for eight
hours. Those who really desire to work
will always be both willing and anxious
30 work ten hours, sud SO earn their extra
fifty cents day, which would make
large difference at the end OF the year.

Maine has no other city as large as
Wichita. Wichita in a very few years
should be three or more times the
size of Portland, because as
has been well said "the country makes
the city" and Wichita has the country
behind her, which makes possible traf-
fic for this commercial center, through
which its products find market. and the
imports distributing point. Portland
in 1870 had 81 Alb people. Wichita in
1870 had 80. This shows what an agricul-
tural country has done for Wichita. If
Maine had the producing power of Kan
sas, or Sedgwick county even, Portland
would be city of 100000 people The
accumulation of years has made Port
land a wealthy city and Maine a great
state. Take the same number of years
and Wichita will be as much greater a
city than Portland as Kansas agricultur-
ally is greater than Maine. The same

A MISLEADING STATEMENT.

The telegraph tells us that the treasury
department has figured the amount of
money in circulation, and it is at present
S24 10 per capita, the highest in the his
tory Of the United States. In 1885 it was
$500 In 1865 it was S20.82, and in the
good old Democratic days of 1860 it was
S13.85. This per capita business reminds
the Kansas City Gazette, it says, of the
Alliance campaign out in the Sixth dis
trict. Per capita it seems was the prin-
cipal issue. A different understanding
of the term prevailed. By the buffalo
grass tinanciers it was understood to
mean the amount man had in his
pocket. Congressman Baker in his first
speech stated the per capita at a given
sum. Some miles further west in his
second speech he dropped a few dollars
on it-not having taken up a collection
in the meantime. The per capita varied
according to the collection. We believe
the buffalo grass statesman correct. Not
one man in fifty you meet can pull out
of his jeans S24. 10. Our per capita is
very low.
The trouble with these treasury state
ments is that they are made up from the
records of that department and do not
take into account the amount of curren-
cy that has been destroyed and that held
out of circulation by individual hoard
ers, which amounts, if deducted from
the total amount issued by the govern
ment and supposed to be in circulation,
would reduce the volume IN actual cir
culation today more than half But
granting that the full amount of S24 10
per capita is in actual circulation. and
that does not prove that the volume is
sufficient for the needs of the country.
which is the only true standard by which
TO measure the circulation. This per
capita statement is great big deception.
50 meant TO be or not Give US
more money; The country will take the
chances of its value being deprecated by
an increase in the volume.

FROM DOUBT TO FAITH.

do not clearly see my path through faith tc
light,
Tho the uncertain meteors that lit my night
OF doubt and fear, have vanished in the ra-
diant ray
That softly shines thro' all the shadows OF
my way.
With such sweet, tender beauty that my long
dimmed sight
Can almost catch the roseate beams OF Gods
eternal day.
In trust / struggle onward, tho the path be
steep,
If but walk within it bravely, shall reap
A rich reward, beyond the reach of mortal
mind
To grasp and hold it. What tho close and
dark behind
Press on dim shades of doubt; but if only
strive and keep
My faith, and seek the Sun OF righteousness,
shall l not find?
o. thou fair Son of God, our tired, aching eyes,
World-weary, dulled and hopeless, turn in
glad surprise,
Thou Light of all this dark and Sustained
world, to Thee,
Thou God of hope and truth, and peace and
charity,
We listen to Thy strength ming word that bids
US rise
From height to height, until we stand where
Thou wouldst have US be.
Beyond the pains of this world, the partings
and the tears,
The hopes without fruition, the Paintings and
the fears,
The struggling, shining. Borrowing with
which our days are rife,
There is an end of sadness, an end of all our
strife.
Christ, give US strength to battle thro' all the
coming years,
That we may reach that fairer land, that
sweeter, purer life.

SOME PERTINENT COMPARISONS

1t has been said that comparisons are
odious, but the statements we shall
make are not so meant. For the infor-
nation of those who do not know and
have not the time to figure out the
amount of grain that Kansas can and
does produce, and is capable of produc-
ing, and who are not aware Of the posi-
ton we hold when compared to the
New England states, we shall endeavor
to give, in a series of articles, such COM
parative statements compiled from the
official records, as cannot be
disputed and which ought
to convince the most skeptical.
As many of our own peopie.have no con-
ception of the enormus production of
this valley, and many an eastern man
doubts the stories that have been told
over and over again relative to this coun-
try, it is fair both to the East and West
to give the official figures and let the
public draw their own conclusions.
The state of Maine, for instance, has
an area of about $1,000 square miles;
Kansas of about 50, 900 square miles,
while Sedgwick County has an area of
zoos square miles. Thus Kansas is
more than twice the size of Maine,
but Sedgwick County is only
one thirty-third the SIZE The popula-
ton of the two states according to the
United States census of 1890, shows Kan
sas with l, 427 1886, Maine with Gel ,0S6 and
Sedgwick county, Kan, with 1896.
The population of Kansas is not quite
three times that of Maine, and Sedgwick
county, of which Wichita is the county
seat, has only about one-fifteenth the
of Maine. But as Sedgwick
county is good agricultural county we
do not hesitate to use it in the COM
parison.
In the year 1889, the United States de-
partment of agriculture shows the prod
uct of corn, wheat and oats, the three
principal cereals, for the two states to be
as follows:
