Wealth VS.. Deht.

Jay Gould is worth 500. 0OOoO and
more. Niner--nine per cent is in a
small safe. T. is made up of pieces of
paper "secur .,,,"-debts owed to him.
VIM. B. Astor is worth more He
ownes thousand houses, lives in one,
rents the others and his wealth is in
slips of paper, 'leases'-debts owed to
him.
The Vanderbilts are worth more than
either. Their wealth is in paper; rail-
road shares and bondS-debts owed to
them by corporations and the treasury.
Riches are what a man owns and uses
himself; wealth is what a man owns
and lends-always at interest. Nc man
is wealthy until he lends-at interest,
of course,
Every dollar of wealth owned in this
country by any man is debt owed to
him by some other man.
The census officials estimate the peo-
pie of the Union to be worth $62, 900, :
900, 900. The highest estimate puts Sc,
900, 900, 600 as riches and $56 900, 0GO, 900
as wealth. Double the estimate of the
amount owned and in use by the owner,
and we still have the startling fact that
the $4,000, 900 people of the United
States are burdened with net debt of
$50, 900, OOO 900 fifty billion dollars),
owed to less than 100 600 men, on which
they must pay interest. Every dollars
worth of this is lent
John Sherman and VIM Mckinley
are seeking to double the rate of inter-
est on legal tender, which will double
the rate of interest on every dollars
worth of wealth, by limiting the legal
tenders to gold coin.
Can they bunco the voters of Ohio?

than the value Of the thread in order
that the trust be enabled to roll up its
millions
1t has been said that the trust con-
tributed a large sum of money 10 the
defeat of Cl veland and the Mills bill,
but when il considered that its entire
sales in the United States foot up to
about forty-five million dollars annu-
ally, and on which by reason Of the
present tariff tax the trust is enabled
10 collect fifteen million dollars in ad-
dition to a fair price based on cost with
reasonable profits, it can be readily
seen that the trust has made great
bargain.
As the trusts have made Harrison,
they will insist on controlling him and
his party, and no relief from the thread
monopoly's grip can be expected while
the national government remains In
control OF the republican party.
An Associated Press dispatch told us
on the 9th day of April, 1889, that the
wages of the employees were reduced in
the Clark thread works, at Newark, N.
j., the largest firm in the trust. No
doubt this reduction was made to make
up the thousands contributed to run
campaign in the interest of protection.
THE coRDAGE POOL
Another protected infant is the
"cordage pool" There are less than
thirty cordage mills in the country, and
for years they were controlled by a
pool, which limited production and
fixed prices. This pool was broken
last spring, and new one, represent
ing two-thirds of the productive capac-
ity, was formed in summer. The new
pool is said to control the supply of
imported MANILA and similar raw ma
teriaL The average rates of duty last
year was as follows: Manila, 31.06 per
cent iute, 20: sisal IA. 30; tarred cables
and cordage, SO13; untarred MANILA
cordage, $3.50; other untarred cordage,
80 per cent.
/ The Cleveland Leader, on the 5th
day of the present month, said that the
National Cordage Co. has a capital o1
$15, 900, 900, and only lists 81, 900, 900 fol
taxation.
THE PITCH TRUST.
The pitch used in roofing and paving
is said to be controlled in this country
by pool or combination, at the heaC
of which are Widener and Ell1ins, the
Philadelphia spectators, who are ap
plying the trust system to gas work
and street railways in several cities
Not pound of roofing pitch" SAT-
the Chicago Tribune, not yard o
felt roofing paper, and not gallon o
paving pitch, can be obtained in thi
country unless Widener and Elkin
raise their fingers and give permission
for its sale" The duty on the pitch O
coal tar is 20 per cent, and that upol
the roofing felt is the same.
THE ENVELOPE MAKERS TRUST.
The duty on envelopes is 25 per cent
The production of envelopes is deter
mined by committee of the Envelop
Makers trust, and the price paid for ey
cry envelope is determined in the sam
way.
In any of the despotic government
of effete and enervated Europe, an er
trance into this business of conspirac
to advance prices would be short cut
imprisonment; but in the large libert
of this republic and under the proteC
tion of our benifcient tariff laws, ther
is found ample scope and room for a
sorts of commercial combinations.

From the Farm to the ob.ervator,


My birthplace was in the northern part
of Nova Scotia, and the surroundings Of
my childhood and youth were such as
deeply to tinge the economic views of
my later years. People lived there
much as the settlers of New England
lived before the Revolution. The chill
dren of all but the rich went barefoot in
summer, and, except the rare and costly
Sunday suit, nearly every family had to
make its own clothes. The men and
boys titled the ground, or cut and sawed
lumber for expectation to more favored
climes; the women and girls sheared the
sheep, carded the wool, spun the yarn,
wove the homespun cloth. and made the
clothes.
Partly from necessity, partly from a
fear of overstudy' and a desire to
strengthen my bodily constitution, about
half my time from the age of eight to
that of sixteen was spent in working on
farms. The more intelligent of the
farmers generally had two or three
books, which there were occasional op-
portunities of reading by the light of the
blazing fire in winter evenings
Up to the age of twelve the laws of
nature remained a mystery to me. About
that time l remember once asking my
father what light was, and why we could
not see in the dark. He tried to give me
an idea of something he had read or
heard on the subject, but the question
was one which nothing in our reading
could help to answer. He could tell about
gravitation, the names and order of the
planets, history and navigation; but
doubt if a book on natural philosophy
had ever fallen within his reach Pro
fessor Simon Newcomb in Forum.

HALF LoAF OR NO BREAD.

We have no desire to wrong any one
and we have natural aversion for base
less insinuations against the integrity of
any public servant of the people. Mems
motives are beyond the sphere of human
judgment except in so far as there are
revealed by overt acts. These latter we
have right to condemn or approve.
Every action of Major Handbury, since
he was first placedin charge of the works
at the Cascades are consistent with no
other theory than that he is determined
that no public monies devoted to the
opening of the Columbia river shall ever
inure to any benefit to the people of the
present generation. When the last
legislature through an appropriation of
$50 900, had given us the hope of a tenn
porary relief we were perfectly content
to allow him to continue his favorite
pastime of making new engineering es-
Inmates and forming scientific plans for
obstruction and delay till time
should be no more, butthere is no reason
that we should bear meekly a usurpa-
tion of the peoples rights that will strip
the legislative appropriation of half its
value. Major Handbury knows as well
as any man on earth that three foot
track is not sufficient for the traffic of
the Columbia river. 1t is needless to
say there is not room for wider track
There was room enough. when Major
Handbury himself proposed that the
government should build standard
gauge track at such time as in his opin-
ion the ''people might require to use it. I"
If there was room then there is room
now, and if not, room could be made.
If the concrete works were interfered
with, let it be so. They are simply a
Handbury device for burying $3.50 900 of
the peoples money literally in the
bottom of the canal where concrete is as
much needed as it is on the face of the
moon. But it is useless to complain.
The people have no rights anyhow
that railroads and government officials
are bound to respect. If we make a
kick and appeal'to the secretary of War
the whole machinery of the government
will be started anew in the unreeling of
redtape, and the result at best would be
that we would not have an open river
for three months longer.

CHANGE YOUR TACTICS.

1t may be of interest to our evening
contemporary to know that the govern
ment would not allow contract work to
be carried ON at the Cascades. At least
so the government officials themselves
say. 1t is useless therefofe to waste any
more space urging that the works be let
by contract. Nobody will pay any at
tention to it, but the object of the
Mountaineer could be more honestly at
tanned by recommending the discharge
of Mr.. Farley from the superlntendency
of construction and nobody will pay at
tention to that either.

Helping One Another.

The genial spirit of helpfulness that
characterizes a New York throng was
pleasantly demonstrated in Broadway,
near Chambers street, the other day A
street car was laboriously working its
way up town. At the crossing of Cham
bers street there was the usual jam of
vehicles. The grinding of the wheels,
the crack of the whips, the shouts of the
drivers, and the hum and hustle of the
hurrying multitude combined to make a
nerve trying din. A small boy, not more
than fourteen years old, ran out from a
store just above Chambers street and
signaled the street car. He staggered
under an armful of bundles, which he
proceeded to load on the front platform
of the car. He climbed upon the plat
form himself, and the car, with a sud
den jerk, started on its up town journey.
The sudden start threw one of the bun
dies into the street, unperceived by the
boy. Half a dozen rumbling trucks
threatened to pass over it and crush it.
A well dressed gentleman with glossy
silk hat, who was walking mp town,
saw the bundle fall and impetuously ran
into the street to rescue 1t. A sta1wart
young truck driver jumped from his
truck at tho same time to pick it up, but
before either of the men could reach the
bundle a neatly attired young woman
had deftly made her way to the spot and
extricated the bundle almost from under
the feet of a restless team of horses. She
ran after the moving car and restored
the parcel to the boy with the tart but
not unfriendly remark, ''Say, bub, why
don't you look after your dudsr-New
