THE VALUE OF GREAT CITIES TO
STATES

I desire to call the attention of the
farmer or countryman to a fact that
MANY have never thought sof which
may tend to abate their hostility toward
the cities. It is this, to witt While 1T is
impossible for rich and prosperous
farming country to surround a city with
out contributing to the prosperity of said
city, yet 1t Is possible for city to be To-
Gated within the borders of a State and
grow to be rich, prosperous and large,
and to add great value to the lands
around and to the State without receive
ing a corresponding value from the coun-
try of said State. In fact, such is always
the case where the city is large.
For instance, the great city of New
York is not indebted to the country or
farm lands of New York for one-hun-
dredth of her prosperity and wealth. She
reaps her wealth not only from all the
States of the Union, but from all the
civilized parts of the world; yet she does
not contribute a dollar to the payment
of current expenses and State debt Of
any State in the Union, or any part of
the world, except the State of New York.
She gives in her immense wealth to be
taxed solely for the State of New York.
thereby relieving each and every farmer
in the State. st. Louis reaps a majority
of her prosperity from other States than
Missouri. New Orleans reaps four-ffths
of her prosperity from other States than

ALAMEDA Nov. 6.-Politics was at
fever heat in Alameda to-day. All sorts
of rumors were afioat There were stories
of combinations, of backslding, of knit

attention of the politicians. The Repub-

they have completed plans for a fight
next Tuesday which, from present indica-
lions, will be the liveliest election in
which the voters of Alameda have ever
participated.
The managers of the Stoddard cam
paign were in session nearly all day. They
appear satisfied with the fight thus far,
and claim that the reports from all sec
lions of the county are most encouraging.

forces of Frank Jordan. He has matters
well In hand and is eXerting every effort
to pull the Republicans into line for their

FATE OF THE sQUAw MEN.

Voters.

The following card has been issued to
Afro-American voters:
The conditions which prevail at this time are
precisely similar to those which obtained four
years ago during the Estee-Budd campaign.
Then two uncertain factors determined and
decided the issue viz, the A. p. A and the
Afro American vote. An effort has been made
to repeat the same political tactics-the alien
alton OF the negro vote because of some iHlagin-
ary grievance. We again requested to do
some dirty work for foxy Democratic poll
ticians. The religious controversy has been
reopened Former enemies are now friends,
and vice versa. Seeing then that the fate OF
any candidate may hinge on few hundred
votes IL behooves to realize who our friends
are What can We expect In the event or
Democratic success? Mr.. Mcguire represents
an element which Is our natural enemy-the
foreign anarchistic element the enemy OF all
law and order.

of Afro-Ameticans registered. Many IN ~ US
