Upon the occasion OF a recent visit
TO Iowa asked a farmer in an interior
county what the people of Iowa in
tended to do at the mex; presidential
election. and his answer was as fol-
lows:
wall. I never argue politics and
never did. but II give a man a job
and he does his work we'll. what's the
use OF turning him on and Citing a
new man, Now. Mr.. Mckinley does
his work right up to the handle. and
no man could q done Il better. though
I didn't have no part in putting him
there. So what's the sense In turning
him out and putting . new man in his
placef
He made q lot Of promises about
good times. and can't see as he over
stated the facts either. for certainly
the times have bcen laundering good.
there's no denying that.

". shall Never v.l, hack.

Mr.. Jefferson Seligman, the eminent
fnancier. Is q pronounced optimist IN
respect to the future which lies be-
fore US. He says:
Il am as hopeful as ever Of the fu-
ture. and can see nothing to stop the
onward march OF prosperity. Never
before In the history Of the country
were business conditions on such sta
BILE foundations. Good times have
come to stay. Mills and factories of
every kind are taxed to their utmost
capacity. Railroad business Ia limited
only by the capacity OF its rolling
stock. Each passing week shows some
new high record Of earnings.
do not think that We shall ever fall
back to the conditions that prevailed
a few years ago. The wealth Of the
country and the buying power Of the
world have become 80 enormous that
II is only reasonable to say that old
forms of business have become obso-
lete and a new era has opened"
The one thing most obsolete of all is
the theory OF free trade. which had
temporary resurrection a few years
ago. and which vas responsible for the
evil conditions which existed then and
to which Mr.. Seligman thinks we will
never go back. That industry destroy
ing policy has no part nor lot in pros
perity. Prosperity has come to stay.
and therefore free trade must Of ne
cessity retire into ''innocuous desue-
tude" along with Its most prominent
champion. Free trade and prosperity
hA lima
in this country. We shall never fall
back into the conditions which pre-
vailed q few years ago. because We
shall not fall back into free trade
again.

New York. Sept. II.
The farmers Of the United States are
not saying much about politics Just
now. They are engaged in harvesting
and marketing At good prices one OF
the heaviest crops they have ever had.
and their cattle. hogs and sheep are
bringing them more money than for =
good many years past. They have
mostly finished paying on the mort
cages which were . part Of the bless
inss Of free-trade tariR tinkertng. 1885,
1897. and are now taking the beneht OF
the good times which were promised
by the advance agent Of prosperity
They have stopped thinking about 1S
to 1 or nat money. and are not worry
ing much about the trusts. This Iowa
farmer is q representative type. He
knows what he lost by the triumph OF
tariff reform" In 1892. and he knows
how vastly he Is the gamer by the tri-
umph Of "AcKinleyism" in 1896. Next
year he will know how to vote.

lrrAkEs MONEY TO MINE.

Great Number of Good Prospsets That
Oan for Capital for Dsvelop0eat.
In the good old days of placer mining
Q man with a pick, pan, shovel and a
rocker or a single sluice box was fully
equipped to tackle any from grass
roots to bedrock" pay dirt where wat
er was handy. A few dollars secured
the outfit and with a little grub and a
dirt-roofed log cabin the old-time min
er was as much a: home in his sur
roundings as the manager Of heavily
capitalized quartz mine Is to-day in
his expensive and, in come instances,
luxuriously furnished apartments. But
conditions have greatly changed since
the early-day mining. 1t takes money
to carry on any mining proposition
now.
The first cost of a mine, that Is a
thoroughly developed gold or copper or
lead proposition, Is nothing but a mere
bagatelle to the expenditures which ne
cessarily follow to put IL upon pro-
ducing basis. A shaft house, black
smith shop, engine and boiler rooms
must be built: hoisting and stationary
pumps, machinery and many other
costly appliances must be provided.
and they all cost money-big money, SO
much, indeed, that a poor man cannot
think Of opening the property. com
bine Of capital and n syndicate of capi-
talists seem to be the prerequisite to
success in mining nowadays, for it
takes money TO mine.
MfAing has been carried on in Califor-
mia for half a century. In that time
the state has produced nearly 81 ,JGO.-
100000. The estimated figures are ST.
3OO.OUO.UD. but no account Is taken Of
gold carried away by owners in belts.
sacks. drafts and inside pockets. The
aggregate thus taken from the state
will easily bring the total up to the bill
lion and a half mark. Yet notwith-
standing the enormous quantity of gold
California has thrown into the chances
Of the worlds commerce. II is estimat-
ed that the state has 1900 good min
ing propositions In an undeyeloped
condition for want OF capital to work
them. 1t is not that capital is afraid
of them. but because about all the
speculating money in the state Is al
ready employed and cannot be used in
other directions.
Colorado is credited with 10000
undeveloped mining propositions
which cannot be touched for want Of
capital. still no one can truthfully
charge the monied men Of that state
with want Of faith in its mines. Their
money Ia tied up In other mining prop
critics and the others must remain idle
until a more convenient season. Mon
tana. Utah. Idaho. Washington and
Oregon, each has its thousands of un-
developed mines. for the reason that
capital cannot he had to work them.
II taxes a pretty penny to put the
best Of mines on a dividend-paying
basis. and those pennies are scarce and
hard to get hold Of when SO many of
them are Invested. already. in good
paying propositions. But II goes with
out saying that as fast as owners of
paying mines can earn and command
'the price" they take their chances in
other mining properties. But IL takes
money to mine in this day and genera

The railnoad has just received word
from owners of the large properties in
the Paradox valley that as soon as the
new machinery can be put in the mines
