The Prosperity Wave.

| N'~ 'Obkp RNNNNps iO't delayed prosperity wave But the country owes no thanks 10 the re. publican party, 10 President Me Kinley, 10 Mark Hanna, to in- creased taxation under the new tariff law, nor to the trusts and combinations. It has come in spite of them. Thanks are due first of all to the Great Master for causing the rains to descend and the crops to bring forth an abund- ant yield. Such crops of wheat, oats, barley, corn and potatoes were never known beforc--from the Atlantic to tho Rocky Mount aims. Editor D. R. Anthony, of the Leavenworth Times, says Kan. sas alone will raise corn and wheat, beef and pork enough to fill the mouths of all tho people in the states for the next twelve months. Fifty million bushels IS tho size of the Kansas wheat crop. And from Iowa. Nebraska, and other northw estern states come the same story. Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, indeed all the states. east, north, south and west--re- port exceptionally good crops. | There is even now car famine on all the western roads. The wheat crop alone will make every rail- road dividend-payer. Railroads which have been moribund for years have all they can do.
 Arkansas shares in this great prosperity. Her wheat, oats and potato crops were never better. Her corn and cotton crops, just beginning 10 mature, promise an unusual yield. Our fruit trees are laden with the choicest fruit. Our railroads are already taxed to their limit and thelr shops are running full time.
 The people of the United States have raised sufficient breadstuffs not only to feed their own people, but the remainder of the world for at least one year. And they are getting, and will continue to get, good prices for their products. But this is true only because of the crop failures in Argentine, Russia, l Hungary, India aHd other coun- tries upon winch Europe largely depends for it's supplies.
 But, as stated before, to this good fortune the people of the United States arc indebted to one mghtier than the republican party, | greater than Mark Hanna, supe- rior to all trusts and combinations the Creator of all things.
 And so of the Alaska gold fields. While we are indebted 10 lhe re- publican party for the gold stand ard, for higher prices and less money with which to buy, the Master has been looking out for his own by directing their atten- tion to the immense deposits of gold in the frozen north. It has been discovered and is being brought forth to gladden. the hearts of our people. They have refused our silver-we will now give them gold. and it is to be hoped in such vast quantities that once more we will have plenty of money. As Senator Jones, of Ne- vada, said in a recent interview. I want to see a flood of money l turn the Idle wheels and lrrigate ! the waste plains of our lands"
 1 This wave of prosperity has come in spite of the party in Ipowcr. No doubt they will claim the credit, but they are not en- titled to it.
