A CORRECT VIEW OF WEALTH.

voltaire says in his life Of Charles XII.
zee nest pas la rarete de rargent mails
celle des hommes ct des talents que rend
un empire faible"--It is not the scarcity
Of money. but of men and brains that
makes an empire weak.
Voltaire had a perfectly correct con-
ception OF wealth. Wealth does not de-
pend upon the quantity OF money in a
country. Business consists In exchange
OF commodities. The only use Of money
is TO settle balances. II is the boot
given in trade. The wealth of a coun-
try depends upon the muscle and the
energies and the invention of its people
II is made up OF the product OF these
forces.
The dense ignorance prevailing in re-
gard TO this elementary principle Is amaz-
ing. We could get along without any
money at all. II We had none we should
simply make swaps OF articles. Such a
condition would be highly inconvenent
and the accessory Of money Is OF ines
Unable advantage to us. Still we could
manage TO get along without H. But we
could not get along without labor. And
Just In proportion as that labor is In
spired by energy and directed bv ,ntou,-

grows

THE TIMES AGAIN TO THE FRONT.

About two years ago The Times ar
ranged for the railroad schedules which
enabled It to put its paper in Lynchburg,
Roanoke and along the line of the Nor
folk and Western railroad so soon in the
morning as 10 astonish it's readers and
make them rub their eyes. BY further
arrangement accomplished by The Times
It's paper was delivered at Lexington, and
even at the White Sulphur Springs at an
unprecedentedly early hour.
All this has had the effect of creating
an increased sympathy between the re-
mote parts Of the State and our capital
city, which is but the natural outcome of
certainly and speedily reading each day
a newspaper sent out from Richmond.
In which is carefully collected the news
OF the whole State.
The Times has added yet another evil
dence OF its energy in getting out the
news TO its patrons by arranging with the
authorities of the post-office department
and of the Richmond Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad to send its morning paper
over to Clopton Station. beyond Manches
ter. and so catch the early train from
the South. which passes by Richmond on
the Belt Line, and thus for three weeks
mast we have been putting The Times
In Washington by A. NJ over five hours
ahead Of the usual time.
This enables us TO furnish our patrons
along the line OF the Virginia Midland
railway. the Washington and Ohio rail-
road and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
many hours ahead OF the late schedules
Whatever tends 10 bring Richmond into
close intercourse with every part of Vir-
ginia will always have the studious at
tention and diligent effort of The Times.

New York Sun: Why should the man
who rides the bicycle for his health and
recreation in the country submit TO having
his back bowed and his chest buckled up
like a frightened hunchback? The reason
is that the fashion is to make all machines
in racing form. There should be a grand
division in bicycles. on the principle in
which yachts in England are divided
into cruisers and racers, one for pleasure
and the other for business. Raise the
handles Of the cruising bicycles. if neces-
sary bring the pedals forward. and sit
up straight, and you will surely look
pleasant.
