ApRoPos of Republican prosperity,
il may be noted as a fact of much
significance that while the salaries of
postmasters all over Iowa were raised
as the result Of last years business,
there was not a single instance in
which a decrease of salary was or
dered. In Missouri numerous in
creases have been ordered, while de-
creases are few and far between. The
same thing holds true all over the
country. Offices In cities, towns and
villages, almost without exception,
show an increase of business, and
thus demonstrates that prosperity is
widespread and has reached all
classes of our people. Such are the
fruits of protection and a determina-
ton to maintain currency every
dollar of which shall be equal to the
best dollar in the world. Who would
cut down the tree which bears such
tempting fruit? Not Missouri. surely.
when she has taken time TO think it
over. and shall have recorded her
verdict in the general election OF
nineteen hundred.

ABOUT One-third more wealth was
taken out of the lead and zinc mines
of Missouri last year than out of the
Klondike, the former yielding $6.-
OOO. 900 aud the latter $4,O00,OOO. To
secure the gold of the Klondike men
spent money in large amounts i'll the
purchase of outfits and supplies and
in reaching the land of gold, endured
terrible hardships aud risked their
lives over and over again. while the
Missouri Klondike is easily acces-
sibic and its treasure may be sought
and found without costly equipment
or risk of lite or limb. Fortunes
have been found with a pick and
shovel and a pair of strong arms
backed by a stout heart. Men have
always ran over good things at hand
to seek the fancied good things in
the .lapd of hope" at distance, and
no doubt they always will. Never
theless richer rewards with less eff
fort and no bodily suffering or risk
await those who are wise enough to
embrace the opportunities here al
hand. in mining, fruitgrowing, stock
raising, and other fields of enterprise
Opportunities are numerous on every
