A Peculiar Prosperity.

The New York World has several times
recently claimed to prove the Astounding
prosperity of our country by the increase of
gambling in Wall street and the high
prices at which 'sales'' have of late been
made in that market. But just how it finds
proof of producing lands welfare in the
fact that its money is being drawn out of
farm and mining and manufacturing invest
ments to find stock gambling its best field
of profit, The World does not undertake to
show, any more than it tries to prove its
claim that the latter-day gold doctrine is
otd-fashi )ned JefferSonian Democracy.
And the New York Tribune, in a recent
article, says :
at is difficult to comprehend the marvel
Gus advance of railroad securities in the
last twenty years. Sixty of the most active
have advanced above $50 a share This
phenomenal increase in value Of railroad
shares has not been accomplished by
manipulation. 1t is the natural result Of
steady expanding traffic and better methods,
which reduced expenses in many way
Let us see who has been benefited by
the advance in railroad stocks. Has it
helped the people generally? Rich specula
tors have doubled their wealth, but poor
men pay just as much transportation and
just as high freight rates as they did five
years ago. The railroads have doubled
their dividends, but they have not lessened
the burdens of the people. The farmer
still pays the same old price to transport his
products to market; the business man pays
the same rate; everybody pays the same
rate when he rides on the cars. A small
class of people have been enriched, but
the many millions have not been profted
one cent.
On a careful examination it will be
found that the most of our phenomenal
prosperity is just like that of the railroads
1t pertains only to small class of men.
The Steel Trust will be prosperous, but
their 100,0 900 employees will get no increase
in wages, and pay higher prices for neces-
saries The Standard Oil Trust will con-
tinue to make sixty millions a year, but
thousands of their employees will get no
increase in wages. The coal barons of
Pennsylvania will pile millions on top of
millions, but the men who toll like slaves
for their enrichment will still get SO cents
a day, or less. The clothing manufac-
turers are making vast fortunes, but help
less women are perishing in sweat shops,
and poor girls are making overalls for eight
cents pair. Our prosperity is spotted,
and some of the spots are very black.

THE VERMONT PHOENIX BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, AUGUs

mont's chapter of mishaps was now
ended, but it was not so. On April 1,
in hard squall some fifty miles from
Bermuda, the Sabine was separated
from her consort, and arrived at New
York with the unwelcome tidings a
few days later. But on the 14th a
good many anxious hearts were cheer
ed by the news that the Vermont had
reached Port Royal, 40 days from
Boston.
Thus the memorable cruise of the
old three decker terminated. Soon
after the close of the war she was as
signed to duty as a receiving ship
at the Brooklyn navy yard, rooted
over and clapboarded like huge float
ing house, furnishing snug quarters
for hundreds of Jack Tars. But even
in the snug harbor of the navy yard
i'll luck did not desert her, for one
night in 1892 a clumsy collier rammed
her and nearly sunk her, but she was
repaired, and, according to the best
obtainable evidence, there is no rea-
son, in her condition, why she should
be turned over to the junkmen for
many a day yet.
