re IMMENSELY OF ousMeALrH

The country's growth and rich
ness are really staggering. We
are growing so rapidly it causes a
feeling of apprehension. But the
population is growing, and the
average of wealth is not large
enough to disturb anybody. One
trouble may be that we may learn
such extravagant ways we will be
sorely discontinued when less pros
porous times fall upon us. There
is no rose without its thorn, but
we all like roses. Here is an elo-
quent story of the country's wealth
and greatness in nutshell. 1t is
from the New York Sun: "Ten
years ago our yearly production of
coal was 17O.0OO,OOO tons, and we
thought it heap. Last year we
mined 400, 000,00 tons. In 1896
we produced 100000 tons of pig
iron. Last year we produced 25,-
100000 tons. Our copper output
of ten years ago was $40, 1000, 900
pounds. 1t is now 100000, 900
pounds. In 1896 we dragged from
the bowels of the earth minerals
and mineral substances worth
about 1925, 100000. The value of
our mineral products in 1906 ap-
proximates $4,000, 900, 900. These
figures are bewildering in their
immensely. 1t is no wonder that
we are the richest Nation on earth
Yet in spite of it all there is
something left to hope for, and
there may be something to fear"
