December 0, 1S94. THE WEALTH MAKERS A Letter from nrothr Crane Stkklb Citv. Nov. 13, 1891. Editor Wealth Makers: I wish to reply or anawpr Bro. Doty'a question concerning Christian co-opera-ton. Many erroneously uppoe that when Christ's Millennial Kingdom is inaugu rated every one will be pleased with its ruling. But not so. Its regulations will be far more exacting than those of any previous government, and the liberties of the people will be restricted- to a de gree that will be galling to many now clamoring for an increase of liberty. Liberty to deceive, to misrepresent, to overreach and defraud others, will be en tirely cut off. Liberty to abuse ourselves or others in food or in drink, or in any way to corrupt good manners, will be totally denied to all. Liberty or license to do wrong of any sort will not be gran ted to any (Isaiah 11-9; Rom. 8-21). The only liberty that wilt be granted to any will be the true and glorious liberty to do good, and nothing will be allowed to injure or destroy. This rule will con sequently be felt by many to be a severe one, breaking up present institutions founded upou false habits and false ideas of liberty. Many will feel rebellious against that perfect and equitable rule, because accustomed in the past to lord it over their fellow mortals and to live wholly at the expense of others without , rendering compensating rervice. Christ says he that would rule must first serve. Brother Gibson says there are many that n-onld like to lead, but not to be led. and it is, alas, too true. Oh, how often do we see wisdom bluffed by self-assertive itrnnrnnrw-l Must it ever be BO? I feel today that Brother Gibson named it when he asks if it is true that this world today belongs to the strong and cunning and unscrupulous (or devilish). Our New England forefathers were edu cated by suffering. The history of the Christian church is a history of suffering and self-denial. Happiness falls to our lot in detached bits, and those of us that are wise content ourselves with the frag ments. So let us all remember that Christ came into the world to lift up, ex alt and glorify the human race, and in order to do so he mustsubjugate all evil. So Jesus says, "Without tne ye can do nothing" (John 3-27). But the Divine love can intend no other end than the eternal blessing of men, wherefore there is not a single thing in the universe in which is not hidden use more or less re mote for man. But to come to more practical matters plain, every day mat ters. Brother Doty, I am a dairyman: can milk cows, clean stables and do all other necessary work about a dairy. So in the co-operatfve society (without caste) I could find a sphere I could re volve in, and over their morning coffee, yellow with rich cream, my fellow-workers could rise up and call tne blessed. I am also a Christian, having been buried with Christ in baptism. So I remain yonr loving brother in Christ, Wm. H. Cbane. Sound nrr'T,y Justly lssutd Editor Weai,tp ,' The production and interchange ? wealth between nations and individuals is all that is required for the physical well being of the race. All that intervenes in the exchange is the consent of the parties who possess it, but under the barter system proved cum bersome from very evident reasons. Hence the invention of money, a repre sentat'veof wealth, and a more expedi tious medium of exchange. Consent being the simple requisite of exchange between individuals, a simple instrument by the consent of a collective body composing government is all that is required for the medium. The intrin sic value of the material used does not enter into consideration. We should question a man's sanity who. should ob ject to a five dollar bill on the ground that it contained no more paper than a one dollar bill, and this simple illustra tion proves the fullacy of the material, intrinsic value of all money; its value consists in the flat of government, its exchange value stamped upon its face. The masses have been led to believe dif ferent. Our statesmen insist that gov ernment cannot create mQney, although the constitution and our superior courts decide that it can. Is it not reasonable that a sovereign power to whom we en trust our lives, our liberty and our for tunes, is competent to provide a simple medium of exchange for public com merce. The people are sovereign in the United States, our currency is what they made it, and they have nearly accom plished their own financial ruin. Not to enter into details but very briefly, permit me to make the following suggestions for their careful considera tion. - A currency that can be "cornered" is not safe, Gold and silver can be cor nered. An issue of money with interest subtracted is not just and will bankrupt any nation. The issue will only satisfy the principal indebtedness, the interest will eat up the substance and the inde pendence of the masses, and ultimntely enslave them. A currency that depends upon chance, like the discovery of the so called precous metals, is neither scien tific nor satisfactory; if all our business was conducted that way we should have productive and commercial chaos. Paper currency meets all the require ments desirable in money. Cheap in ma terial, created by the wfll of the people, its volume capable of scientific regula tion subject to the demand. If issued ly the government in payment of current expenses, it would abolish nationn,! taxes, destroy the power of interest to oppress, and furnish an annual increaxe in volume to meet the wants of increaH--2ng population and business. Such an isBue would mete out "equal justice to all, special favors to none." I sincerely hope the financial plank in our platform will be amended. Fraternally yonr. C. H. Kino.

Vlrw of th Battle Field Editor Wealth Makkkr: In this county the Independents nomi nated a county attorney and two repre sentatives, all formerly Republicans. Convention day the nominee for county attorney announced that ho was a mid dle of the road Populist. As the campaign progressed the Demo cratic organ of the county claimed a "Satisfactory arrangement had been made, and that a vote for tbe Independ ent nominees for representatives was a vote for Bryan'for United States sena tor." But the Democratic organ and presumably all the leading Democrats of the county never forgave the nominee for county attorney for proclaiming that he was a middle of tbe road Populist and advised all Democrats to vote the Re publican ticket for county attorney. In this action of the Democrats the Populists have an object lesson as to 1h true position of the Democratic pai l. It will vote the Populist ticket just so far aa it can use the Populists as a cat's paw to take official chestnuts from the Republican fire. This position of the Democratic party is farther illustrated by the action of the World-Herald during the last days of the campaign just closed, in allowing the Republicans to use its columns to con duct a mud-slinging campaign against some of the nominees on the Populist .state ticket. In the face of this Demo cratic opposition to tbe best men this county and state ever had an opportu nity to vote for, these same Democratic organs claimed to expect the solid sup port of' a Populist legislature for Mr. Bryan for United States Senator. That Mr. Bryan remained editor of the World Herald after it began opposing Mr. Hol comb shows his estimation of Populist manhood. The Democratic leaders seem to have the idea in their addled brains that they could sling mud on the Populist party and rub it in and then have these same Populists come np to the scratch smiling and vote to lengthen the life of a dying Democratic party. During the campaign the Republicans did not make any open attack on the fusion scheme claimed by the Democrats and as stoutly denied by the Populists, let we know this county and we presume every precinct in the state, was worked over, on the quiet, by the Republicans, and that fusion was shown up in its true light and made the most of, and was the strongest and effective argument issued against the Populists. As aTesult we have a Republican legis lature. Thus the mud-slinging fusion Democrat for office knocked the wind out of his own bay window and dragged down to their own level a lot of conscious but shorted-sighted Populists. The Populist leaders are to blame in bo far as they remained passive and did not deny the claim set up by the Bryan faction that fusion was an accomplished fact. t Had the Populist state convention put forward Mr. Holcomb for United States senator and nominated Mr. Gaffin for governor the legislature would not now be so stronelv Republican. Mr. Holcomb's middle of the road at titude and personal popularity would nave added thousands of votes to our legislative ticket, at the same time Mr. Gaffin would have had the support of Mr. Rosewater, and' Populists should not forget that Mr. R. elected Mr. Hol comb in spite of fusion. Mr. Kem, whom the bankers so thor oughly hate for presumingin hisbanking bill to make the depositors safe and in terest low, was really elected by the bank ers themselves. So anxious were they for Mr. K'-m's defeat that on the eve of elec tion they fused Mr. Dougherty with the Democrats. Betwen Mr. Kem and Dougherty the fu sion game was declared a draw, and this kept the populists well in line ana en abled them to fight fusion with fusion (or we should perhaps say, "fight tne aevu with fire"). This fact alonesaved Kem's bacon. Had Dougherty's fusion scheme come to light two weeks earlier, Kem's ma jorityiwould have been much greater. Wherever Dougherty's fusion was shown up at the polls Kem ran ahead of the legislative ticket. Will. the leaders of the Populists, those who have had three or four years' expe rience in political work, and are inclined to look with favor upon the plan of buy ing Democratic support with omces.learn anything from the fusion lesson of this campaign? Weeks before election every old greenback man in the state knew by the feeling in his bones that Mr. Bryan would never become United States sen ator riding astride the fence. Jackson Democrat.

The Cradle Chilian i miner Esmeralda i urchased by the Mikado. New York, Dec. 3. Japan has bought the crack Chilian cruiser Esmeralda. The deal was consum mated here within the last few days and was managed with great adroit ness. Chili first selliag the ship to Ecuador and the latter transferring it to Japan. To further disguise the fact, a report was given currency that China had bought the ship. This was to avert suspicion nntil the cruiser was well out of danger of being apprehended on the high seas. She is now on her way to Japan by way of Tahiti. The purchase price was over SI, 000,000 in gold. The sale by Chili violates no neutrality law, as Chili has no treaty with China or Japan, and moreover, her sale was to Ecuador, which is also withoui a treaty with either of the belligerents. $100 Reward, $100.

Expenditures for the Fiscal Year Were 56,039,009; Estimates for the Next Tear, 53,318,639 On October t the Army Numbered 85,779 Enlisted Situ and 9,136 Officers Suggestions. Washington, Dec. 3. Tho annual report of Secretary Lamont shows a saving of 500,000 in salaries and con tingent expeuses in the administra tion of the war department at Wash ington, besides economies in the re cruiting' service, rents, etc. Expen ditures for the fiscal year were $56, 039,009: appropriations for the current year are $52,429, 112; estimates for next year are $53,313,629. - On October 1 tho army numbered officers, 2,136; enlisted men, 35,772; of the latter, for various causes, only 20, 114 were effective. Secretary Lamont earnestly recom mends legislation to establish the battalion formation now adopted by the armies of every other civilized nation. To eff ect that change he recommends a return to the law of 1870, fixing at 30,000 the limit of the army. By the changes proposed the army will be incre ased 20 per cent in efficiency, 16 in numbers and only 6 per cent in cost of maintenance. The actual combative strength will thus become about 25,000, the number now contemplated by law, but which is reduced by detachments and other wise to about 20,000. It is proposed to add two companies to each of . the twenty-five infantry regiments and two batteries to each of the five artil lery regiments. No increase in cav alry is proposed. Seacoast defense may now be pros ecuted as rapidly as congress makes appropriations for the purpose, and if these are sufficient the project of the Endicott board can be carried out in twelve and one-half years. The total cost of finishing the ar mament of our twenty-eight chief seaports is estimated to be $20,039,937 for guns, $9,801,120 for mortars, $12, 500,000 for gun carriages, $5,232,000 for mortar carriages; a total, includ ing contract work, of $50,277,248. Annual appropriations of $4,420,000 will be required for armament during the next twelve years, which will build and mount 683 high power guns and 824 high power mortars. By the end of December we shall have seventy-seven high power guns and fifty-one high power carriages.

"One of my customers, some years ago, had a son who had all the symptoms of consumption. The usual medicines afforded him no relief, and he steadily failed until he was unable to leave his bed. His mother applied tome for some remedy and 1 recom mended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The young man took it according to directions, and soon began to improve until he became well and strong." T. M.

The officials of the Marine hospital service were yesterday notified that a large firm of manufacturing chemists at Detroit, Mich., is making preparations for the manufacture of anti-toxine, the new remedy for diphtheria, which has cre ated such widespread interest in Europe. This is believed to be the first house of its character in the United States to begin experiments, and already they have taken active steps to scientifically demonstrate its. value. Hawaiian Sugar for New York. San Francisco, Dec 3. After Janu ary 1 the Western sugar refinery com pany will begin shipping raw sugar from Honolulu to New York direct by ships sailing around the Horn. It is said that an unusually large quantity is to be shipped East from the Hawa iian islands next year and that, as the Southern Pacific would not make a satisfactory rate on overland ship ments, the refinery people will fight the railroad by sea. Hitherto all the Hawaiian sugar has been brought to San Francisco for distribution. l.atshaw Ousted. , Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 3.

T BI IAN LUIS T ALLEY, COLORADO, is a stretch of Urel plain about H large aa the State of Connecticut, lying between surrounding range of lofty mountains and watered by the Rio Grande River and score or more of email tributary streams. It was the bottom of a great tea, whose de posits have made a fertile soil on an average more than tea feet deep. The mountains are covered with great deposits of snow, which melt and famish the irrigating eanals with water for the farmers' crops. The Climate is Unrivaled. Almost perpetual sunshine, and the elevation of about 7,000 feet dispell all malaria, nor are such pests as chinch bugs, weevil, etc, found there. Floww artesian wells are secured at a depth, on an average, of about 100 feet, and at a cost of about $36.00 each. Such is the flow that they are being utilised tor Irrigating the yards, garden and vegetable crops. The press are is sufficient to carry the water, which is pure, all through the farmers' dwellings. Irrigation. v Already several thousand miles of large and small irrigating canals have ben built and several hundred thousand acres of lands made available for farming operations. Irrigation is an insurance against failure of crops, because suo ceis is a question only of tbe proper application of water to them. The loss ol a single corn or wheat crop in Nebraska, for instance, would more than equal the cost of irrigating canals to oover the entire state, so important is the cxa TADitt of a fall crop return to any agricultural state. .The San Luis Valley will grow Spring wheat oats, barley, peas, hops, beans, potatoes, vegetables and all kinds of small fruits and many of the hardier varieties of apples. pears ang an Kings qi cnem?

There are a hundred thousand acres of such lands located in the very heart of the San Luis Valley, all within six miles of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, convenient markets and shipping stations, for sale at $15.00 per acre. Most of these lands are fenced ana have been under cultivation and in many instances have wells and some buildings, everything ready to proceed at once to begin farming. A small cash PAYitiNT only is required where the purchaser immediately occupies the premises, and long time at seven per cent, interest is granted for the deferred payments.
