One OF the most conspicuous argu-
ments in favor of continuation of the
present prosperous state of affairs in
the nation is the report which comes
from the railroads east, west, north

so busy that the managers predict a
shortage of cars, and the prospective
work of moving the immense crops
has caused many of the managers to
place large orders ahead for the man.
ufacture of rolling stock. The bull
ders of locomotives, freight cars, pas
senger cars and in fact everything
that runs on rails, and also the max
ers of rails, have orders ahead that
will keep them busy for many months
to come. For all their work there is a
satisfactory margin of profit, and
wages were never higher. 1t all simp-
ly goes to show that nobody who is
willing and able to put his hands to
productive tasks need remain idle in
this grand area of prosperity.

The Republicans Of the county ought
to be convinced by this time that there
is an understanding between Governor
La Toilette and Isaac Stephenson as to
the attitude of the former on the Unit
ed States senatorship. While Mr.. La
Toilette would undoubtedly be pleased
to drop the fight on Senator Spooner,
he is prevented from SO doing by Mr..
Stephenson, who is putting up the
''stuff'' with which to carry on the
campaign. There is another thing
which points strongly that way and
this is that Warden Overlook has been
at work ever since the delegates to the
state convention were elected last
July in setting up the pins looking to
the nomination and election of an as
semblyman who will be anti-Spooner.

question about the wisdom of that

The great panacea for all ills, ac-
cording to the Democratic leaders, is
free trade. They describe this as the

THE PROPERTY ACCOUNT

Carroll ID. Wright with the census
of 1900 before him, figures the total
wealth of the United States at about Ok
billion dollars, as against 80 billions IN
1870, As billion dollars in 1850, 30
billions in 1870, 10 billions in 1850, and
I. billions in 1850. In the last half
century the nation las added twelve
times as great a sum TO its wealth as IN
the three-quarters Of IA century proceed
lug. .s. =,
Of the whole valuation about 60 per
est item is railroad properly, which is
about Is billions. The ,nachlnery OF
factories and shops and the material
and products on hand are estimated at
four billions. The wage earners num-
Der about eighteen millions, or three
millions more than tie voters, and
annually, or over seven billions for the
whole.
These are certainly gratifying figures,
but they suggest at once the monstros-
ity of some of the industrial combina-
tons known rs trusts. The steel trust
is capitalized at billion three hundred
and fifty million dollars, and if this
was an honest capitalization, on which
the public could fairly be asked to pay
dividends. il would include nearly one
sixth of the value of all the property,
real, personal and mixed, III the, whole
country, or more than One-third of the
value Of all the machinery, material
ami stock ON hand and be a tenth as
much as all the railroad property. Six
per cent dividends upon 1T are more
than the total earnings of the Is million
wage workers and several times more
thar the net gains of the millions OF
farmers.

The question comes from two per-
sons how best to establish farmers tel

advisable to secure some person who Is

Joint care of Il neighborhood are pretty
sure to be Of htllc value. The system
should furnish about as good service as
town lines. The poles should be not
less than Twenty-Five feet long and six
inches at the small end. \ line

service to each farmer at II cost of about
$40 year. WITH the present develop
ment of village and rural lines 1t will
not be long befnr4 almost any section

takes half hour, but when it is done
the farmer who lives most remote from
town knows quite as much about
matters of importance as the residents
of New York City. 1t is said that this
sort of service is spreading with great
rapidIty. No farmer should remain
