Democratic leaders and organs, who

Democratic leaders and organs, who
a few years ago, were denying the
truth of reports showing the increase
of wealth, the advance of manufacture
ing, the improved condition or the
wage earners, the increase of national
savings, the extension of railroads,
are now breaking their necks to Sc
cure reports Indicative of growth and
returning prosperity. In this wild
endeavor those of US more or less in
terested in the preparation of exhibits
of national growth, smile at the
eagerness with which the old time
calamity bowler" points with con-
sclentious pride and patriotism to the
documents which few years ago he
was as wildly denouncing as protect
i've tariff lies and robber baron false
hoods.-Cresco Times.
We are not aware of any democrat
ic leaders or org ans making any such
denials. On the contrary the papers
which are democratic in sentiment
have all the while admitted the in
crease OF the wealth of the country
but have insisted that it is not proper
ly distributed, that too little of it re-
mains in the hands of the men who
produce it that too much of it goes to
the middle man. the trusts, the COM
bines and the corporations organized
especially to eat out the substance
of those who produce the wealth of
the country through its varied indust-
ries and its immense production.
Every true mau, democrat or repub-
lican, sees and feels that the pro-
ducers are not getting their just share
of what they produce, of the wealth
they create. This is the contention of
democrats, not as the Times states,
that there has been no increase in
wealth. We admit the vast accumula-
ton of wealth in the hands of the few,
and charge that the policies of the
last thirty years have concentrated
this vast wealth in the hands of those
who have not produced it; that the
country through this unjust system is
filled with tramps, and with men who
have unjustly been deprived of prop
erty through false systems In govern
ment. Does the Times mean to say
that the wealth produced should go
into the hands of oilers, of men who
like sponges absorb the products of
labor without rendering to industry a

HIGH PRICES FOR HORSES.

Tho HOrsoless Ago 10 Evidently Very Far

When pair Of registered Hackney

cult to conjure up vision of "thc

mares and FLIES and hacks and harness
horses to be sold from his Sandring-
ham stud July Ii, and ffty-three head
made an average of 1850. Thirty-one
1Eaclsneys made an average of s065 and
twenty-five hncls and harness horses
averaged 1920. Included in this last
average are the Hackney mares which
In harness brought $1,000. These were

by Aconeus ed, and Viola (6,27s), by

for pair. Thoroughbred, Arab, Cleve-
land Bay and Hackney stations sired
the harness horses, and the Hackney
progeny led considerably in the sell

stock the highest price was So 900 for
the Confidence mare Jessy, which fell to
Sir Walter ilbey; but Cadeau, by
Cadet, was hard after this figure, with
a bid of sl,750 from Lord Durham.
Seven of the mares and FLIES each

SOMETHING NEW IN THIS.
The Petroleum waron within Reach Of
Many People.

The Petroleum WaEon Within Reach q
Many People.
The practicability Of these carriages
seems to be placed beyond doubt.
Since 1899 they have been growing in
favor in France and the only wonder is
that we have not seen them over h ere
before now. The future, says the Lon
don Saturday Review, would appear to
belong to them, if all be true, and we
hardly doubt fine bona fides. They are
rs easily worked as tricycle-prob-
ably easier. A novice, as many wit
ness, is able on the first trial to drive his
carriage over 200 miles in two days,of ten
hours each. Tourists have wandered
over half dozen departments in them,
and the taste is spreading every day.
Soon the enthusiasm will reach Eng
land, and then-well, it is difficult to
say what will happen then.
For, among the great advantages Of
the petroleum carriage, is It's remark
able cheapness. The cost of carriage
is not much in the first instance. They
arc built, as VIC have said, with touch
Ing fidelity to old forms. There is the
dog cart, the wagonette, the phaeton,
the "breals" and the "mylord," us our
French friends have it. From q purely
lay contemplation of these vehicles,
we are not disposed to think that
finality has been reached in regard to
their shape.
When the first railway carriages
were constructed. either out of loving
conservatism or from desre not to
offend, they were built upon the lines
OF the stage coach and colored to
match. In time they achieved their
own independence and individuality.
NM. Panhard and Levassor will
probably find time and experience
ripen their invention in this respect.
At present voiture q deux places
costs s1Gs; a voiture quatre places,
formc dogcart, costs g2O0; the phaeton,
e212, and, naturally the "mylord"
heads the price list at s240. These
cannot be reckoned extravagant prices.
And when you have once purchased a
voiture to your taste the saving seems
amazing.
To begin with, two horses can be dis
carded; and horses, we believe, are
roughly estimated to cost Eos or ESQ a
year apiece to keep. A purchaser of a
petroleum carriage rcckons that it
costs him from 1.5Of to Of q
day. The manufacturers reckoning
is As per lsilomctcr for two-seatcd
carriage, and cents for four-seated
carriage; let us say on IN average some
thing between a halfpenny and three
farthings mile.
Compare this with the expense of
horses. Let us say cab horse costs
some ESQ, and is available for three
years; that constitutes a yearly charge
of e12. Add to this e25 for food and
keeping and we get total of e37 The
initial outlay on the vehicle may be
ignored, MS we are also ignoring the
initial cost of voiture. A horse, year
in and year out, would hardly do more
than l5 miles day. Out of these fig.
ures, which are, of course, rough, one
may deduct something like twopence a
mile as the cost of horse carriage.
The advantage is in favor of the petro-
leum carriage by three to one.

Conversing with a prominent bust

the Belmont Morgan syndicate the
Pioneer Press said the sum should
have been 500 millions. In this it is

the antagonists of every American in

st. Paul is not showing the business
activity that ought to come from the
great harvest of the northwest, nor
what it would if the grain of that
country and of the Dakotas bore the
price it did before the characterization
OF silver and which but for that great
crime against labor it would still
bear. When the cost of production is
about all that can be realized from a
crop there is little or nothing left to
buy even the necessaries of life, to
say nothing of the luxuries of life
which labor has richly earned, but
the enjoyment of which it is denied.

bushels OF wheat, or whether it shall
be satisfied and discharged with the

In 1892 young mules were worth
$40 to $50. In 1898 they were worth
$50 to $32. In 1894 they were worth
$40 to $25. This year, 1895, they
bring from $12 to $50. AS compared
with these useful ANIMALS, the dollar
has not only held its own, but it has
increased in value, The man with
500 could buy only two mules in 49,
95: he could buy three in 1888, four in
1894; and five or six in 1895. The
mouey owner has gained mule every
year, while the mule owner has lost
one. Who is getting richer and who
is getting poorer? The political
parties, with their @sound" money
gold standard have done this, and
whenever you shout and vote for these
parties you are shout
ing and voting for this very thing
to make the rich richer and the poor

remarkable disaster has occurred
in the old German town of Brux, In
northwestern Bohemia, In many re-
spects recalling the recent disastrous
earthquake which almost entirely de-
stroyed the town of Laibach, in Carni-
ola. On Friday evening, writes the
Vienna correspondent of the London
Times, the inhabitants of Drux were
alarmed by the sudden distinguishing
OF the street lamps, and at first it was
surmiscd that an accident had occurred
at the gas works. The report, how
ever, spread that a large number of the
houses in the Bahnhofstrasse were in
imminent danger of collapsing, which
was shortly after confirmed and supple
mentcd by the news that the "Anne
Shaft" belonging to the Brux Coal
Mining company, in the vicinity of the
town, had been completely flooded by
an thrush OF sand and water. In con-
sequence of the reports the authorities
took immediate steps to clear the houses
in the Bahnhofstrasse of their inhab-

the scene which have reached Vienna
are eheartrcnding in the extreme, the

crowding the streets, not knowing in
what direction to fly for safety. Early
in the morning, in view of the danger
which still threatened, the authorities
ordered the clearance of the houses in
that part of the town which has suf-
fercd most severely. Up to the present
eighteen houses are In ruins and it
is expected that many others will have
to be pulled down. The damage is es-
timated to exceed 100000 fiorins. In
consequence of the breaking of the
main gas and water pipes the town is
without light and water. The distress
