Right at this point comes the moral of the tale, and a striking moral it is. From great deprcs siou we have changed to grca buoyancy, from great poverty to great riches, from great want to great abundance. All this has happened and it is with us today 1 hat which alarmed and terrified us Iroin )x to 07 (Harms us no more. Hut n new alarm Iras risen As the "Capital" well says: The nlorm ol poverty which some people thought endangered the republic was out of the way scarcely three years until the alarm of riches came into view. And now we are where people have again lost their heads. There arc those who look out of the upper windows ami once more look upon the tragedy which they think will end this free republic Sensation mongers on the stump and in con gre.s have caught the popular ear anil are-in the center ol the stage. 1 ncy arc playing to packed houses, 11 foci, to standing room onlv. The lemagogue is shaking his mane. I rue it is. siiiL'tilarlv. sadlv. shamefully true, that under the spell of the sensation mongers in congress and on the stump, in govr ernors-- cnairs and editorial sane- 11ms, in the columns of newspa pers proicsseciiy conducted in the uterests of prosperity and peace. me aiarin nas changed. We arc no longer afraid of rxiverty. That longer has been removed, at least for 0 time. We are now afraid of being too rich! So we are told that to guard against this new peril we must rip up things, tear them wide open, upset our laws ml systems that have brouirnt us from the abyss of want and suiTer- ing up to tlie very pinnacle of plenty and prosperity! That is she situation today, and in no part of thecountry is the condition more marked than in the state in which the Des Moins 'Capital" is printed no circulated, burely it was time to tell this storv, time to point this moral, time to call back to their senses this great American people woo arc now listening too intently to what the demagogues and sensa tion mongers are shouting. Time to call n halt, time to have some senile! THIS I'ACIPIC OUMJN (WIAN Which you ss) advertised Ih lite kind of rot which Kllers wrote tons about In the following letter: I'ortlrmd, fire. T. K.
