The territory at thst time possessed
no means of treating silver ores. A
few attempts we're made to reduce the
ores by crude smelling furnaces. In
1868 chloridizing aud amalRamation
mills we're erected and improvements
we're attempted In the smelters.
Nothing very satisfactory was accom-.

From 1873 to 1894 the commercial

out OF a total production OF Al. $50,

private enquiries brought out the
fact that less than one-third of the
total output was produced by silver

RAPID GROWTH
IN SECURITIES

quarter of a century has been the
growth OF the ''trusteeship OF
wealth." through the creation OF
stocks and bonds. This process is
still going on. In the past four
years there has been neraly $1,000
interpretations In New York, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maine. aud In
one year In New York alone the In.
corporations involved a capitaliza.
tion OF over 500, 100000.
Now the conversion of all forms
OF business into stock companies
and the Wholesale creation OF new
securities are facts OF stupendous i'm.
portanoe, but it J., very easy indeed
TO put a. false construction upon
them.
In 1868 IL was estimated that the

change amounted to %. 900, 900, 0 20.
Today the total is over els, 200. OOO,.
600 Comparing 1904 with 1868,
there has been an increase In stock
exchange securities OF 500 per cent.
In the same time the deposits 10 all
banks of the United States have In.
creae+d about 400 per cent, the
population 10 per cent, the wealth
233 per cent, money in circulation
24S per cent, and the inland trade of
the country 2l0 per cent, bank
clesrines IN New York 140 per cent,
aud foreign commerce 26O per cent.
IL will be observed how much greater
has been the growth OF stock ex.
change securities than the money,
the deposits, the wealth, the com.
merce, the growth OF population OF
the country.
Now, this gives some idea of the
extraordinary conversion OF all forms
of business into corporations. Busi-
ness by individuals and partnerships
is rapidly disappearing. Business
by companies is taking Its place.
The ownership OF these companies Ia
represented by stocxs aud bonds.
This condition gives rise to many

serious. It has given riM to many

 In 1s66 Fred Douglass, the negro orator. lectured in Peoria. Henry Rat tie, a dry goods merchant. entertained the negro at his residence; his daughter accepted the arm of Douglass and walked up the aisle holding the negro's arm.
 The following morning The Daily Democrat (my paper) gave a three- column editorinal on the incident and pointed to the logical sequence of such actions.
 Time has verified the predictions made in that article. All the Democratic lady patrons of MT. Rattler"s store ceased visiting 1t, as did many Republicans. No new customers took their places. Early bankruptcy was the result.
 No white man appeared to take the place as escort vacated by the negro. The result is today Miss Rattle is a wrinkledfaced old maid.

WHITE PEOPLE.
Of No Section of the Union Favor Social
 Equality.


 Equality.
 W. T. Dowdall in Memphis Commercial
 Appeal.
 The white people of the East, North or the West do not indorse or approve of social equality between the white and coiored people. As an evidence of this fact, look at Illinois. a State that gave Roosevelt over 300, 900 majority last fall for the presidency, and which ought to be good authority on this subject. What do we find there? St. Clair Coun- ty, one of the Republican strongholds in that State. that has saved the Re publican candidate for Congress in that district more times than once. There the white people burned a negro at the stake for shooting, though he did not kill, a white man.
 In DanvilIe, the home of Joe Cannon, the Speaker of the House of Represent atives, the white people arose and ran all of the negroes of that place out Of the city because a negro shot white man.
 In Peoria, as well as in Virden. where there was a strike among the laboring men, the white men. armed With guns. shot down all negroes who came to work; and the Governor called out the militia to protect the negroes until they could be sent out of the State.
 Tn Girard, a town of some 1000 peo- Dle. the whites do not permit any negro to live there. Some years ago a negro barber opened a shop there against the protest of the white people. The fol- lowing morning after locating there his barber shop was not opened. and on forcing the door everything was found as fl had been left when closing the shop the previous evening.

James WassoE. to my office to inform me that mob composed of white men from the south ern portion of the city, where the crime occurred were en route to the jail for the purpose of mobbing the negro and asked me to come at once to the Jail and make a speech to the men when they arrived and see If could dissuade them from their purpose.

THE HEN As MONEY-MAKER.
Outranks the Gold Mines, Sugar Fac-
 tories and Grain Fields.

With the strength born of Govern ment statistics Franklin Forbes con- tends in the current Success Magazine that the mother of the American chicken Is at once the most productive as she is the most reliable of all of our industrial money makers.
 The last census of poultry of the United States showed that the total number of chickens was 2S3.59S.0S6; turkeys, 6,599,367; geese, 5.676,S63, and ducks, 4,S07.35S. Eighty-eight and one eighth per cent. of the farms Of this country had poultry as an asset. At least 250,O00,0O chickens. to say noth- ing of other kinds of poultry, are con sumed each year
 According to the Government author tiles "egg and poultry earnings" for one recent year amounted to $2SO,0OO,OOO. The total value of the gold. silver, wool and sheep produced in America during the year in question was $272,4S4,S16.
 The sugar production of the country the same year was but $20.00O,000.
 That part of the wheat crop used at home, which many consider the most valuable of all our agricultural pro- ducts was worth $229.00O,0 900.
 The great American hog, as consumed at home and abroad brought $1S6.529,- O35.
 The value of the oat crop was $7s,- SS4,UUU. 4OtdtueS BTOWu III tAS Ch'bSN States were valued at nearly as large a sum as were the oats.
 The product of tobacco plantations was estimated to be worth $36,579,225.
 Cotton. the dethroned king of sta ples, could show only $259,161,640, as against the magnificent earnings of its feathered rival.
 The crops of flax, timothy. clover, millet and cane seeds, broom corn, cas- tor beans. hay. straw, and so forth. couldn't, all told. come within a meas urable distance of many millions of the poultry earnings.
 The hens eggs produced in this coun- try annually would fill 4312T.0 900 crates; each of the latter holding S60 eggs; also, a train of refrigerator cars to carry these eggs would be nearly 300 miles long; furthermore, 1t would take 1O7,S1S such cars to make up this train.
 The ideal hen, Mir Forbes discovers the scientists. should lay about 200 eggs a year. There are many gift ed creatures of this sort, and millions would be added to the national wealth if all chickens could be persuaded to make such performances their ambi- tion.
 Exhaustive experiments by we'll equipped investigators prove that the egg deserves its reputation as an easily assimilated and highly nutritious food, If eaten raw or lightly cooked. Such experiments also show that eggs at 12 cents per dozen are q cheap source of nutrients; at 16 cents somewhat eXpen- sive and at 25 cents and over highly extravagant.

ADVENTUROUS BOAT RIDE.
Couple Encountered Lake storm

NOuPAC 'AA
 Open Skin.
 Chicago, Aug. 2.-After being afloat on Lake Michigan since Sunday even ing in a small row boat John G. Char tres and Miss Zelda Stewart of Evan ston were rescued late this afternoon. Both were in a precarious condition because of exposure and lack of food and sleep.
 On Sunday afternoon Chartres call ed at the residence of Miss Stewart and asked her to go boat riding. They rented a small skin and went out into the lake. About two hours after thl departed & squall swept over the lake and when nothing was heard of the couple 1t was thought that they had been either lost or blown into the mid dle of the lake and picked up by some passing steamer.
 This afternoon while the life saving crew of Evanston was patrollIng the lake in the effort to find some trace of them the boat was discovered about ten miles of shore. Chartres explain ed that during the squall one of his oras was broken and that being unable to propell the boat he devoted all his energies in keeping it afloat. His strength was about gone when he and Mss Stewart were discovered and he declared that he could not have held out for another night.
