middle class, the farmers, they are making no
great progress and have not for forty years. II
Mr.. Gordon will, l would be pleased if he would
explain. The last census gives the total wealth
of the United States at ninety-fOur billion dol
lars, of this twenty billion is in farms, live stock
and farming implements. Twelve billions is rail-
road value. Nine and onehalf is factory value
and there is probably two and one-half billions
of money, making total of forty-f0ur billions
of dollars In what does the other fifty billions
consist. 1t might throw little light this
subject by stating that in 1890, the farms of the
nation were worth thirteen billion dollars. /
have seen the statement that all the real estate
was worth thirty-nine billions or three times
that amount. In 1900 the farms were worth six
teen billions. If the other real estate was worth
thirty-two billions it would not look as though
Mr.. Gordon was correct If he means by the mid
die class the small home owner. Just idea
more. In 1860 of the sixteen billions of wealth
one-half was in FARMS live stock and farm
chinery or there was practically $255 of farm
wealth per capita. In 1900 there was about 1866
per capita of farm wealth. In 1850 there was $513

Some Phases Of Money Question

Chippewa Falls, Wis. Dec Ito the Editor
OF The Independent: 1t has been full month
since you published my letter, Seeking Light on
the Money Question:" and it looks as though the
gold standard national bank advocates, both DEM
ocrats and republicans, somewhat selfish in
withholding the light SO very much desired And
this, too, notwithstanding the ract that took
very particular pains to send the clipping from
Inc Independent, to some Of my old friends in
Nebraska that howled vociferousy during the
1896 campaign for Gold Standard" Confidence
and Sound Money"
Can it be possible that they consider the
money question SO definitely settled and fastened
upon the people that it will never be rejected?
Perhaps when the X-rays of light become suff-
GENTLY diffused, there may be an awakening from
this Rip Van Winkle doltish stupor in which the
people were hypnotized by the sonorous melody
OF Confidence" that makes them passive and
dormant while being held up and robbed
During the first nine months of this year
January to October l, III national banks failed
and many millions of dollars was lost. Most of
this was the savings of small depositorss On the
hrst day OF November the large, favored national
banks held $65,726312 deposited with them by the
government without interest, ito help them OUT"
In other words 5,726,312 or the peoples
money that had been collected out OF the people,
was deposited in these favorite banks without
interest, to be loaned back to the people, at the
bankers usual interest rates; and at the same
time, the people, are paying millions of dollars
interest on the bonds upon which the gold
standard is virtually based and upon which these
bankers are already getting interest in advance
every six months, and issuing their currency
(some people call it money! dollar for dollar.
equal to the amount of bonds and which costs
them merely the expense of printing--half of one
per cent, to again loan to the people at best pos
sible rates. and getting compound interest four
to sit time or more yearly
1t scarcely seems credible that such condi.
ton as this can exist without complaint or pro-
test. Those special privileges are "fne for
the favored ones. but what about the large Jones

And now the manipulators arc asking congress-

enter business life this matter OF get
ting ahead will become habit
Now want to give you another
thing to think about while you're grow
ing up and preparing to win fame and
fortune in the commercial world 1t
is this: Don't try to do what you like
do what you can That's a good
companion piece for stick to your
last" Don't let the attraction of some
thing you don't know lure you away
from the thing you do know. Once
upon time young man whose faith
er made pickles, and who had learned
the pickle business from A to z, de-
cided that he'd like to go into the
business of making molasses candy.
He didn't know anything about it, but
he liked molasses candy and thought
it would be great fun to make it and
sell it. So he proceeded to try his
hand at the business. The result was
disastrous. His candy wasn't good
candy, because he didn't know how to
make it properly, and, therefore, no
body wanted to buy. Finally he went
back to the pickle business and made
a fortune, because he certainly did
know how to make good pickles, and
everybody bought them
Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom. About the most strik-
ing sentence I remember is this one,
written by the great philosopher,
Thomas Carlyle: THE king is the man
who can There's a whole volume of
sound sense contained in those seven
one-syllable words. All the elements
of success are there set forth and the
whole secret of greatness sticks out
conspicuously from that simple SEN
tence-"The king is the man who can. "

Precepts Boys Should Study

From a place at the cobbler's bench
at mere pittance. William L. Douglas
has risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State of Massachusetts,
that of Governor, and has made him.
self millionaire.
His rules and precepts of success
were given recently by him through
the Boston Sunday American. They
are rules that he has tried and tested,
the rules which have elevated him to
the highest position in the gift of the
state, the rules which have won for
him an enormous fortune
The Governor is interested in boys.
He declares that these rules are given
for the benefit of boys. Here they
are:
What are the secrets of success?
Will 1 tell the boys of Massachusetts
what 1 think they are? Recently in
talking to a delegation of bright-faced
boys, I told them that they should, in
order to make the most of life, obey
the old maxim, stick to your last
Everything in nature is fitted to do
one thing well and spends its whole
life doing it. You never hear of the
ant going into the honey-making bust
ness, nor of the bee building ant-hills
for change. Each one knows its
place in the world and sticks to it,
and that is what boys must do if they
would accomplish great things.
And remember always to keep your
ambition up to the top notch. What
ever you do, try to do it better than
the other fellow. At school make it
point to stand at the head of your
class, and at play don't be satisfied
until you can jump the farthest or
