The Race for Riches.

One of She greatest perlIs to thIS
country 10 the tendency of large
class of people to what Is called
"matelialIsm.' by this We mean
that they misdirect their natural
powers for tie requirement OF
wealth, and that often at the sacrl-
flee of integrity and honor. This is
manifested all the way from boy
hood to manhood, from the school,
house to the Senate. sect money"
is the maxim of the country. "Crt
it honestly if you can; but-get
money"
There is a shameful, hunger and
eagerncss to get rich. Our boys
hastily leave the farm, the machine
shop, and other vocations, and flock
to the cities to seek a profession.
believing this to be the shortest cut
to wealth. They thereby spoil many
good mechanics to make miserable
preachers; mechanics, to make exc
cradle lawyers; and b!acksmiths, to
make ignorant doctors. Many seek
politics; and a great number do
nothing. Anything, to avoid hard
work.
Another great peril is the rapid
concentration of wealth into few
hands, and the enslavement of the
masses by the money power. This
is found in every department Of the
Government and throughout the
avenue of commerce. It is inCrea-
IDLE to those unacquainted with the
fGts how few the men are in num-
Der who control the commerce of
the country and dictate the policy
of the Government. Fortunes have
been made in so short time, and
they are in so few bands that they
control every lever of the machine
~ of commerce. There is a closer
connection between Lombard street,
in London, and Wall street, in New
York, than one man in ten thousand
imagines.
In the time of Napoleon, at tie
battle of Waterloo, the fortune o.
the RothschildS was comparatively
small. Now, they control not only
the governments of Europe, bu'
have great power over the Unitet
States. They dictate the financial
policy of this country.
There is shameful lack of Amer
lean independence among our PEG
pie. We submit to things our fore
fathers would have scorned to en-
dure. Foreigners control our mon
etasy existence. Our forefather
lefied all the powers of Europe an,
dictated their own financial policy
They were thereby enabled to es
tablish government, the credit O
which was as good as that OF an
nation in the world-as good a
gold.
Now, we have a population c
seventy millions of people. Th
county is grid-ironpd with railroad
and girdled by telegraph lines, s
that every pulSation of sentiment /
known and felt from one end OF tn
country to the other; our country
the grandest country God has eve
given to any people, and yet wo s.
supinely by and permit our financis
policy TO be mapped out and COZ
trolled by foreigners, the avowe
enemies of our free institutions.
1t is within our power to hay
any financial power we desire. W
can make it stand alone against ii
world. Our corn and grain cro'
are gold. Our cotton and wo'
crops are as COON as the specie. Y
can feed and clothe ourselves an
have a surplus that other nation
will crave. Let us be Independent

Present agitation for active sym
pathv in behalf of sufferers in Cuba
will lead to neglect OF sufferers in
our own laod and may, if the thing is
carried too far, plunge us into greater
suffering. Money will be raised for
Cuba, but large percentage of it will
stick to the fingers OF the collectors.
OF the valorous editors who urge ON
situation which may result in war
not one will put himself in danger.
Al the fine rhetoric is to be his and
all the bullet stopping is to be the
other fellows. These editors do not
know much about war, bnt they
know just enough to keep themselves
ont of the danger that they would
have their fellow citizens rush into.

The average man is not strong
enough to do great deal of effect
i've work and make a great deal of
effective noise at the same time. Like
some weak engines, if we blow very
loud, we cannot run, and if we run
very long, we cannot blow. The
managers of great commercial houses
recognize this limitation, and en-
ploy an advertising man to make all
the noise, so that the rest of the en-
ployes may spend all their strength
in work. When you find a man who
is making very loud noise, it may
be safely assumed that he is deyoting
good part of bis time to it.

NEyW York MINING STOCKS.
RALLY N AMERICANS.
IN London Mines Are Better and

New York, Sept. 2s-The Even
ing Posts London financial cablegram
says: TIE change in the discount rate
of the Bank Of England announced to-
day had no effect on the stock mar
! kets, having been fully anticipated In
deed, it is believed that the rate would
have been raised to per cent. but
for the fact that treasury bills amount
ling to 100000 are TO be issued next
week.
The feature in the market today was
the speedy rally IN Americans. Prices
closed at the best Union Pacific and
Reading were especially strong. Grand

good Mines we're better.
Opinions as to the date of the next

widely. Every enc is. saying That the
movement is entirely exception and VIII
probably net be repeated but the
etrewd ones prefer to hold their opin-
ions in suspense pending the course Of

of the gold movement for the week
show the receipt of G10000 from Austria

tinent, of G26 900 to Egypt and 100000
to South America and the sale OF 970.-

tual ab;lfty, combined Win the highest
courage and patriotism. He Was the
life and soul of the Philippine reVCau-
lion. Its inception was his work, and
the active campaign vas under his i'm
mediate direction. Grave mistakes
We're made at FIRST from a mis-dhen
idea that the Spaniards could be met in

Chicago, H., Sept. 23.-WR1eat at the

hut ran up against a snaG in the shape

of consequence came ON the market.
The northwest receipts were again
heavy and that caused holders to exer-
else caution so that wnen the. 1rice
had risen to $3.50. plenty of wheat
showing a profit was unloaded.
a noticeable feature during the ad-
vance was the refusal of May to re-
spond except in an extremely unwilling
and backward fashion. When Decem-
Der was readily bringing 93Ac., May
delivery barely touched 91M, and a
house with close Liverpool connections
said they had liberal selling orders
from the latter place for May delivery.
The latest trading in December was

There was a smaller business in corn
The market averaged firm aN fore

the end, however, when wheat COM
