The Thrilling Experience of Raw Young

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

The sun rose over fel- = :, neat
And warmed tic breath OF an early spring;
The smiling flowers made'the morning sweet
And there were caroiiing birds 70 sing;
And by the brook were children 4 plq.v
Planning their childish games for the DAY.
But the sun sank over a field Of red,
Leaving no wheat nor a farmhouse there;
Only the CHASTITY lines OF the dead
And blackness and ruin everywhere;
And along the brook. instead Of play.
Were the silent ferns of blue and gray.

THE GROWTH OF WEALTH.

Corrected figures Of the census give the
wealth OF the country in 1890 as SOS ,037, ).
09i, JOY, as compared with $43 ,642, 900, 900
in 1880. This shows an increase OF 40. OF
per cent. 10 ten years. From 1870 to 1880
the percentage of increase was 45.l4.
From 1850 to 1860 the wealth of the
country increased by l26.46 per cent.
This was larger than any that has occur
red since, and 1t occurred under the "free-
trade tariff" OF ls46.
II is pretended that the increase Of
wealth from 1860 to 1870 was s5.O7 per
cent. II this were true, it would be very
remarkable. During nearly half OF this
decade, the country was engaged in q
war, in which great quantities OF wealth
we're destroyed. Then it witnessed the
destruction Of slavery, eliminating large
item that had formerly figured as prop
erty. For all that, the census figures
appear to show that wealth increased
nearly twice as fast between 1850 and
1870 as between 1870 and 1880, and so
per cent. faster than between 1880 and
1890.
OF course this is not true. In 1870 q
new system Of computing the wealth was
adopted. In 1850 and 1860 the census
showed the true value Of assessed wealth
in 1870 and since, the true value Of all
wealth, whether assessed for taxation or
not.
In spite Of this difference, it is q fact
never to be forgotten that in the decade
from 1850 to 1860 wealth increased SO
per cent. faster than ii ever has since,
even by the figures of the census, as fall
sifed by republican authorities. This is q
stubborn fact to write around.

GROUNDS FOR THOUGHT.

A number Of the newspapers Of the
upper country have been compelled to
very materially reduce their size through
withdrawal Of support. In contributing
10 this the merchants and citizens Of the
several localities have shown Q very
lamentabIe lack Of foresight. The local
Newspaper Is the sphygmograph Of the
pulse OF the community and when an in
tending investor or settler picks up a
paper which shows that it has been
blighten by the grim hand Of poverty he
very naturally turns his face in another
direction with the thought that il would
be folly TO plant his good seed in acountry
20 sterile. This fact is not recognized as
generally ~ II should be, for OF all lines Of
business that Of the country publisher is
the poorest requitted considering the cap
ital invested and labor performed. II the
merchants will advertise with judgment
they will directly receive many times the
intrinsic cost Of the advertisement and at
the same time contribute power to the
wheel of the motor that furnishes greater
and more constant force than any other in
the advancement OF town and country.
There 10 duty. too, that the subscriber
owes and which generally he Thought
lessly overlooks. That ia to see that bis
subscription dues are well kept up. Many
take paper for years, commend its views,
applaud its efforts to advance good local
measures, compliment It's fidelity to the
up-building Of the town and country, but
forget TO settle their arrearge. There are
some who will read this who will say
'there Is considerable truth in that" but
will without much pause exclaim my
skirts are clear, paid my subscription !"
Yes, but when? Two, three, four, maybe
more years ago, and all this time the
newspaperman was sweating blood in an
effort to pay his assistants, the rent, the
paper factors, and to arrange for the new
dress or other material that may be SO
badly needed. Reader, look to your own
interest and see that your newspaper has
Its dues and the support which it merits.
