The Cause OF Prosperity.

Many of the newspapers in the east

fuse in their assertions that the wave II

is throwing off more blessings tlan dit

Egypt was the worlds granary, SAYS the
DAYTON Courier Press. They protes too
much. The great price for last years
food products, aud the $4,000, 900 put
in circulation by the war have added a
good deal to the money OF the common
people; they are buying many things
that they have needed for the past five
years they have paid many debts, and
all these things give strength TO trade
and help to readjust conditions that had
become most serious. But that is the
extent of the incoming wave. The prices
of the great staples leave, today, no mar
gin OF profit to producers wheat is away
down, the manufacturing industries, all
but iron and steel, are congested, aud it
is because the people have not the means
to encourage trade. Property has not

prosperity as has been and is being en-
joyed has been and is due 10 accidents
which cannot be counted upon to happen
again; that no permanent, liie-givng
factor to business has been found.
The same journals that would seek to
fool the people by regarding their home
conditions, daily have their remarks,
sometimes plying, sometimes encourag-
ing, and always condescending, regard
ing the west, aud especially the inter-
mountain states. A common form is to
point out to the west that she ought to be
grateful, inasmuch as the destruction of
silver mining has forced the people to ex-
plore and reduce their gold ores.
They need not worry about the west.
Let them keep in mind that We have a
better soil than theirs, more certain crops ;
that we have all the blessings they enjoy,
and the ore and bullion receipts in addi-
ton. We have not only what they pro-
duce to buy money with, but we produce
the money also, and we shall get along.
We are sorry that they have not The
sense to do what would give them a fair
reward for their labor, but if they will
not, no matter; We can stand it longer
than they can.
