A REsOuRCEFUl COUNTRY.

Last year Colorado's gold product
amounted to S5,500,000. This year it is
estimated that the amount will be fully
doubled That's pretty good for Rocky
mountain state that everybody back east
seems to think has gone to the "demnition
bow-wows," and it only tends to show what
wonderfully resourceful region we
Rocky mountain jewellers reside in. New
Mexico, too, will make an amazing show
ing in the matter of gold production this
year, and the figures will go long way
toward persuading congress that it would
be very unfair to taboo New Mexico be-
cause of their prejudice against silver.
Like Colorado, if New Mexico can't mine
silver at a proft-and We maintain that
our superior climate makes this possible
even with the price at 70-we can mine
gold, raise fruit, farm products and live
stock enough to supply IN empire. "No
pent-up Utica confines our powers" No
indeed Give us statehood and New Mex
leo will ask odds of none of tho states in
the Union.

Income Tax Is Bound to Come.

This bill is violent assault on protec-
ton without being a measure for revenue.
The country stands face to face even under
present conditions with an assumed de-
felt this year of not less than $50,000,0O0.
The Wilson bill will make an incalculable
but tremendous cut in customs receipts.
The duty on woolens in 1892 amounted to
more than $34,O0O,OOO. Under the Wilson
bill the same volume of imports would
give not more than $l7,O00O00. To pro-
duce the same revenue it would be neces-
sary to double the imports, and that
would be death to our own manufactures
and labor. What is true of woolens is
true of other schedules. Even large ex-
panslon of imports would not make up
the deficit, because of the great increase
in the free list. Such destructive
measure settles the question of an income
tax. 1t must come, for under this scheme
there is no other source for the necessary
eyenue.-Philadelph Press.

tremely engrossing On questioning them
as to the topic of conversation:
"We are speaking of the CREATION" they
said.

Allan about it."
This lady, who was one of her rivals on
the stage, was often the object of her jokes.
OF course Augustine Brohan had many
adversaries at the Coincide Franchise.
The unsparing nature of her wit and her
brilliant success as an artistic were sufficient
to give rise to petty quarrels. She used
her power of repartee to rid herself of her
assailants.
On one occasion one of them came to her
and said laughingly, as if she had joke
to tell:
my dear, let me tell you some stupid
thing to make you laugh"
you have only to open your mouth"
said Augustine, with an assumption of
calm Indifference Chicago Post.

Every Man Can Have a Steel Rail.

The decreased DUTY on steel rails will
prove most disastrous to American manu-
facturers. The market will be flooded
with the foreign brand. This means less
work for American laborers and reduc-
ton of wages.
But then what does that matter? The
idea of the new "tariff" bill is to reduce
prices. The laborer may not be able to
get his old wages. Indeed, he may not
be able to find work at all, but he can
purchase a steel rail cheap. Doubtless
there Will be demand for steel rails for
parlor ornaments after the passage of the
Wilson bill. Everybody can own one

THOUSANDS of idle men have to be
taken care of by the authorities in all the
large cities of this country; the factories
are closing, and there is no work for
them; this in anticipation of the passage

bill; what will become of the wo.kingmen
and factory hands of this country, should
the bill actually become law, is too hor-
rible to contemplate even at this time.

How MiIlionaires are Made.

The present site of Chicago was sold by
the Indians for 3 cents an acre. Taking
the most valuable lot in the business
part of the city as a criterion, the value
has increased 130,000,OO0 per cent. In
1880, when there were fifty people scat
tered around Fort Dearborn, quarter of
an acre of land in what is known as the
"heart of Chicago" could have been pur-
chased for 500.
In the past sixty-three years there were
only two years in which the city did not
show an increase IN population over the
previous year. But there we're thirteen
years during that time when this quarter
of an acre of land showed decrease In
value, according to the real estate APP
praisement.
The greatest increase per cent recorded
was in 1885, when it rose in value 400 per
cent over the value of the previous year

roads which they built are to-day their

Thus we find ourselves very archaic
in the matter of roads. II is stated
that in Illinois alone the loss To the
community from bad roads last year

The agitation for good roads was
originally undertaken by the League
of American Wheelmen- This is an
association of bicyclists- On bad roads
the bicycle rider is at great disad-
vantage. Doing his own propelling,
he quickly appreciates a change in the
road surface. The agitation began to
spread. The carriage builders have
justly felt that good roads would give
them an enlarged market, and have
Joined the movement The subject
has been lifted up from the limited
bicyclist's platform to national one.
A bill has been presented before con-

laws have been passed by states for
the construction of roads. The effect
of such laws has already been widely
felt. The formation of national as

ed. The probabilities are that the
next ten years will see great change
