POOR MANS PROSPERITY.

In spite OF the great prosperity which
the people Of this country are enjoying,
there are those who still grunnble and
say that 1t Is rich mans prosperity,
and we still hear the cry from the croak-
ers that the rich are growing richer and
the poor are growing poorer.
The rich are undoubtedly growing
richer. They would have grown richer
if they had not paid any attention what
ever to business, for there has been an
enormous enhancement in values, eS-
pecially IN stocks ard bonds. But while
tho rich have been growing richer the
! poor have been growing richer also. We
have no doubt that there are more men
n this community in good circumstances
to-day than over before in the history
of the city, and there are many men who
have within the past few years accumu-
time and again that in this day Of trusts
and combines there is no chance for TIE
individual The savings banks of the
country tell a different story. individuals
have succeeded in accommodating in spite
of the trusts and combines. and all per-
sons who have been Industrious and ordi-
narily intelligent in the conduct of their
affairs during the past few years have
accumulated. OF course there are some
unfortunate exceptions, but we state the
rule.
This prosperity also applies to the
masses. Work has been abundant and
wages have been fairly renunerative
and we believe that Ihere are more COM
forts. not to say luxuries, in the homes
Of the masses to-day than ever before
in the history of this country.
But it should be remembered that this
is a harvest season. There is every
promise now of continued prosperity,
for the crops are abundant and all the
industries are houris,hing, but In the
natural order of things hard times will
come again by and by, and those who do
not take advantage of n season like this
TO accumulate and lay by will find them
selves in sore distress when the pro-
verbal rainy day comes. Ono Of the
We are now enjoying Is the forming OF
eXtrayagant habits. 1t is a very easy
thing to spend money, and especially in
a luxurious age like this. when there are
so many luNurics for money to purchase.
Our civilization has greatly enhanced
the value Of a dollar. BY invention VIC
have cheapened the cost Of production,
and in this way the value Of the dollar
has been increased. But our reference
| is to the great number Of luxuries to be
had in this civilized age. We need not
| develop the thought, but the man with
| a hundred dollars III his pocket may
| think it all out for himself by contrast
| ing his position with that Of a man SINH
| larly situated IN the wilds Of Africa.
! Money is valuable according to the OPP
| porturities for spending 1t and getting
| value received, and there were never SO
many such opportunities as the American
| people enjoy to-day 1t is indeed sore
temptation to waste ones substance in
| luxurious living, but 1t is temptation
that should be resisted. This is the sea-
son TO reap and increase ones store.

With a Comment or Two,

In discussing the character and ability
of the Democratic nominees for Congress
in Virginia, as thus far named, the Bal
tmore Sun concludes that Virginia S
representation in the next Congress Will
probably be stronger that at any time
since the close of the Civil War" That
is saying a good deal. Our representation
was mighty strong when Daniel, Goode,
Cabell Richmond, Tucker, Wise, O'Fer-
rail- and others held seats in the House.
