PROSPERITY TO BURN.

TO show that this country of ours has
more prosperity than it knows what to
do with we publish below some dis
patches taken from the Topeka State
Journal of last Wednesday evening, a
good republican paper. Columns of
similar matter are contained in all the
daily papers:
Boston, July 2S.-The directors of the
Lyman cotton mills at Holyoke, have
voted to pass the regular semi annual
dividend OF two per cent which has
been declared every six months for -
years.
treasurer Parsons stated that the
business of the company for the last
SIX months had been exceptionally poor.
The capacity of the mill is 100000 spin.
dies, of which IS, 900 spindles have been
shut down. The mills will continue
partially closed down until there is a
better demand.
Chicago, July 2S.-The Metropolitan
Electric company has failed. The liza
bilitles amount to about S10O, 600; assets
SS5, 200. = The concern is capitalized al
100000. Poor collections are said to
have caused the assignment.
Toronto, Ont, July IS. Bachrach &
Co., proprietors of large department
store here have assigned for the benefit
of creditors. Liabilities sos, 900; assets
$4,000. A number of New York, Brad
ford and Manchester, England, firms
have claims against the firm.
st. Louis, July 2S.-The st. Louis
Car Wheel company filed chattel deed
of trust this afternoon with the Union
Trust company as trustee for William
II. Keirfey to secure $50, 900 note due
in 80 days. The chattel deed covers
the property on Cerr street buildings
fixtures and other belongings.
Fall River, Mass. July 2S.-At a
meeting of the directors of the VAN
pagon cotton mills it was voted to close
down the mills for two weeks during
August. The Stevens mills shut down
Saturday night for a month and the
Richard Borden mills will begin a cur.
tailment next week.
These factories employ about 1,S0(
hands, and it is understood that they
are short of cotton SuDDlv.

IT is universally agreed
that the new tariff law is the
most outrageous robbery
measure that ever worked it's
way through congress. High
way robbery doesn't begin to
express it. Every man, WON
an and child in the United
States is made a victim of
the corporations and in
many instances, their lives
will be required to satiate
the rapacity of this soulless
gang of conspirators. The
American congress is compos-
ed chiefly of boodlers and
demagogues. Only a very
small minority is composed
of patriots and upright
statesmen.

IOPCLlSr papers are not attempting
To dishearten and discourage the peo-
pie. they are doing exactly the reverse.
But 1T is lack of honesty and common
sense to say that times are good and
the people are happy and prosperous
when there is not the least scintilla of
truth in such statement. But since
this charge has been preferred, we want
to call the attention of our. republican
friends TO the fact that while the dem.
ocrats were in the saddle everything
was going on down-hill pull to the
demnition, bow vows, according to ev-
cry republican sheet in the land. Moth
ing could be pictured too direful and
terrible to suit these political hirelings.
But as soon as the republican part, :
was victorious prosperity boom was
started by every republican paper in ex-
lstence, from the smallest to the great
est. The fact Is that times have been
growing worse for the past 20 years. AT
least. Each year was a little worse
than the one preceding aud if we keen
on twenty years more we will have
reached the bottom. Under CIeveland,s
first administration times were better
than they were under Harrison admin.
istratlon. Under Harrison's admins
tratlon times were better than they
were under Cleveland's second admin.
is;ration, and under Cleveland's second
administration times were better than
they are at present. Under the present
system of finance and government we
are descending an inclined plane.
Sometimes We go rapidly aud at other
times slowly, but we are going just the
same. But we still hope that in 1906
we will get turned around and begin to
ascend TO the place from which we
started.

The coal miners strike now in pro-
gress in the East is but the outcrop-
pings of the system. There is nothing
new in its origin, nothing unusual in
its management, and no matter how il
is finally settled it only retells the old,
old story of mans rapacity and inhu-
manity resulting from our dog eat dog
system. So long as the misguided peo-
pie regard the boarding of useless mil.
lions as the highest aim of life, and
laws are passed to enable men to dc
that, strikes will continue. The sys-
tenn is wrong.-Livlng Issues.
