From the estimates. IS per cent OF
this Indebtedness stands for investment.
Since the statistics were collected the
mortgages have been cancelled at the
rate of about 81, 0OO,GO per month. It
is also ascertained from reliable data
that the farmers in Kansas have in bank
stocks and bank deposits over $4,000
0OO. The value Of the surplus live stock
and grain, excluding the maturing har-
vests, will probably reach $4,000, 900.

Topeka and some other cities are enter
ing upon great manufacturing enter
prises. If our protective policy is
maintained, manufacturing will not be
confined to few of the old communi-
ties. but will extend to the new west
and be distributed over the entire coun-
try. As We have vast amount Of raw
material, We have skilled mechanics and
laborers who can mould and shape the
material into useful articles. With
these resources and conditions, sound
public policy and patriotism would adj
monish that in all our intercourse our
own household should be preferred, and
that our protective system. as modified
by reciprocity, should be upheld"

PROFITS OF PROTECTED INDUS
TRIES.

From the Kansas City. No., Journal.
There is one argument used by the
tariff reformers" which republican
journals aud speakers should take par
ticular pains to explode. 1t is repre-
sented to the farmers and working peo-
pie that the protection policy is building
up class of millionaire manufacturers
to lord it over the common people. The
farmer is led to believe that most all the
men who have become millionaires in
this country have done. SO through the
profits of the manufacturing business.
This is far from the truth. Not one in
twenty of the men who have grown
vastly rich in the United States have
ever been engaged in manufacturing.
Members of the Standard Oil company
are the noteworthy exception, and oil
is not highly protected commodity.
The Astors, the wealthiest men of the
United States, have made their millions
by holding real estate in New York city
for three generations. The Vanderbilts,
who are next in the list, gained their
fortunes through the control of the rail-
Central, from its projection almost to
the present time. In both cases the
millions of these families are due to an
appreciation of property incident to the
growth of New York and the surround
ing country. Jay Gould, Russell Sage,
Huntington and several others have ac-
cumulated their wealth by railroad ma
nlpulations and the control of the stock
market. Tens of thousands have con-
tributed to the fortune of these men by
dabbling in stock speculation against
them. Several men, like John I. Blair,
of New Jersey, the Ameses OF Massa-
chusetts. and the millionaires of the Pa
in the construction, consolidation and
manipulation of railroads and railroad
systems. In fact, large proportion OF
the larger fortunes in this country are
the result of successful ventures in rail-
roads and stocks.
Massachusetts, is representative man
ufacturing state. During the years
1888, 1889 and 1890, the chief of the
bureau of statistics collected all the
facts respecting the capital, earnings
and expenses of the manufactures Of
that state. The presentation is one Of
the most complete works of the sort ever
made public The result shows that
after making allowance for the keeping
up of the machinery and the cost of
dlsposing of their goods, the net profit
on all the capital invested in manufac
turing was little over a per cent. All
statistics collected from manufacturing
show that the profits do not exceed 8
per cent, and are falling off every year
because of the decline in prices and the
sharp competition. The low tariff advo-
Gates find it Improbable longer to mis-
represent the Mckinley law. They are,
therefore, driven to assume as facts
things which are wholly false, and rely
on the lack of information among the
people to make their statements accept
able 1t is not too much to say that
every free trade declaration concerning
the tariff can be shown to be in whole
or in part a falsehood

CITY MAKING.

The time draws near when the spe-
cial registration of voters will begin.
Every citizen in Roanoke who wants to
have the city we'll governed must get
registered. His stake in the city is too
great to ignore his bounden duty.
Ninety nine men in every hundred in
Roanoke will work an hour for a five
dollar note. Yet there are men who
will not take the trouble to spend half
an hour in going to the place OF regis
tration. though their stake in Roanoke
may be hundred or thousand or ten
thousand times the value of five dollars.
There is no department of the city
which may not he improved. But the
only way to improve them is for citizens
generally to take greater interest in
public affairs. More than that, citizens
ought to acquaint themselves with what
city ought to be. 1t is truo that a
large proportion, probably majority. of
our citizens have but little personal &C
quaintance with the public improve
ments of large cities. If they had they
would not'rest content with the absence
of public improvements, or the presence
of what pass for public improvements
Tin Roanoke.
1t is possible to have city only by
intelligent action on the part OF the
citizens. We must get away from the
idea that man must be elected to
Office either because he needs it, or be-
cause he is a good fellow. There is
one proper test for office, and that is
fitness.
Roanoke is not a city viewed from
/ the standpoint of public improvements.
1t merely has the making of city.

companion story to that which was
recently told in the electrical papers of
natural telephone on the sides of two
mountains several miles apart comes
from San Bernardino county, Cal.
Close by the town of Cotton is q peculiar
hill of solid marble, known as Slower
mountain. Eight or ten miles distant
is the range called the Boy Spring
mountains. The story goes that one
day hunter was climbing these noun
tains, and. stopping to rest for few
minutes, Ire heard the sound of human
voices, apparently coming from the
clear atmosphere. He looked all
around, but there was no sign of any
one. The conversation continued, and.
without knowing why, he began to take
part in it. The unknown voice imme.
diately responded in tone of astonish.
ment, and, after n few words of inquiry
and explanation, the Box Spring hunter
learned that he was actually conversinp
in an ordinary tone of voice with per.
sons on Slower mountain, at least cirht
miles distant. The conversationalists
then began to experiment by trying
their voices at different levels up and
down the mountain, but they found
that the phenomenon was apparent
only at one particular point This re-
markablc fact was tested subsequently,
n number of times with success, but
finally, after q severe earthquake, il
was found that the natural telephone
no longer existed.

One of the most mysterious changes
witnessed in the ever-changing solar
system is the variation in the bright
ness of the moons of Jupiter. Two Of
the four satellites occasionally cross the
planets disc as dark objects, although
it is known that their sunny sides are
presented to us and should appear no
less brilliantly illuminated than the
planet itself. The third and fourth satcl-
htes often make these dark transits, and
the first is sometimes seen as n brown
object, but the second has never been
noticed otherwise than bright disc.
The phenomenon still remains without
satisfactory explanation.
