Mexico weekly ledger., 1895-08-15

long step toward a city. These i'm
provements should be made during
1895. Mexico is in Il of the best
counties in the world and can be
yes, will be-made the best little city
of its size anywhere. The LEDGER
should wake up and do it's part.
What a wonderful change there has
been in the business affairs of this
country within a year. Twelve months
ago, when | was east, the industries
of this country were all depressed, the
big railroad strike was on and every
thing looked like hard times both in
the cities and in the country. Why,
we went SO far in Audrain county,
Missouri, as to bow down and worship
a train maker" %. Now everything
is changed. Everywhere you find
prosperity. The last government crop
report shows that the farming element
of the country never had such a bright
neutrality-suspicious. fine crops
of all kinds everywhere. The bust
ness interests of the country are just
booming along. The factories are
running on full time and many ofthem
day and night, and wages of all kinds
have been materially advanced.
This country will now enjoy an era
of prosperity W. before expert
enced, providing some of the demagog-
ing, scheming politicians do not get
in their work in the way OF land loan
schemes and some other legislation
equally as idiotic. God save this coun-
try from the office eeker-calculating,
ignorant, demagoging political scoun-
drels who would do anything, adyo-
cate anything, in order to get political
preferment. This class of political
parasites are never happy unless we
have bad times. They must have the
| people in trouble-worried, and in 8
turmoil or they would be out of a job
| They put out the poison to make Us
| sick and then appear with an antidote
If there is no issue at hand they vii
make one or try to make one If nee
essary, they will pass laws to caust
trouble, for trouble they must have Oh
there would be no picking. Many o
| the modern politicians r like the
"walking deIegates",they are out o
a job when there is no strike. There
must be strikes or they could not
draw salaries, 10 they work to brins
about just what they are supposed tt
be employed to prevent. We have
too much politics: too much changing
of laws; too much resoluting abou
nothing; too many people trying to b'
bosses. What this country and thii
people need is to be "let alone" LIE
the distinguished" politicians go t.
work and make a living like the res
of us and we will all have plenty AM
to spare. The Lord has caused enough
to grow this one season to make plen
ty and prosperity everywhere, bu
even now we hear the politicians sa.
"there is so much you can't get any
thing for it," Surely we can eat it.
is impossible to have plenty of any
thing and have it bring high prices
Supply and demand is bound to main
tain. Just think of it! Everything
so plenty that it is dirt cheap. Stil
the clamity howlers make a text o
this fact from which to wall and gnasl
their teeth. They have nothing t.
sell but "wind," anyway, and that
always cheap, SO why should they b,
troubled? Let the politicians lose thei
voices and the farmers save thei
crops and all will be well. An All
wise Providence will bring about tn
results in spite of foolish men. Sup
pose for a moment it were otherwise
