Touching upon American wealth
in a recent speoch in New York
Secretary of War Root said amongi
otherthings:
During the last half century the
ceration of wealth has proceeded at
a rate beyond all precedent in
human history. The nineteenth
centurie preceding by a gulf so
broad that with it a -new and dis-
tinct era in human history began.
Science and industries made a new
world" and the modern era was us-
hered in. But it is only in the last
half century that these discoveries
have been made to yield for man-
kind benefits which will come in
even greater fulness through the
very methods,of industrial develop-
ment against which demagogical
assault is now so vainly made.
In 1850 the total number of wage
earners employed in manufactures
in the United States were 957,000;
iu 1900 it was 5,316,000. This
vast increase iu the volume of hu-
man labor took place though
meanwhile the aggregate horse
power driving the machinery it
directed or supplanted had been
mnltiplied until it was equivalent
in producing capacity to the labor
of 113,000,000 men working every
day in the year. Moreover, while
the number of workmen increased
only about five times in the fifty
years, the amount paid them in
wages increased about ten times;
that is, wages doubled during the
period..
How about the capital in mau-
factures, only by tbe investment
and combination of which could
the dicoveries and inventions have
been utilized for the general bene-
fit? Capital received in 1900 less
than one-third of .the return it had
received in 1850; and this process
is still going op. “Capital’s pro-
portionate share of the new wealth
is constantly increasing.” “The
wages of one man’s labor in manu-
facture is today equal to tbe pro-
fit of six times as much money em-
ployed in manufacture as it was
equal to in 1850.” While the pro-
fits of labor have inceased - thus
greatly, the cost of food and cloth-
ing has diminished, as Mr. Root
proved specifically by comparisons
of price lists at the two periods.
“The rich have been growing
richer and the poor poorer,” cry
Jhe demagogues of the stump and
{the newspaper. “Tbe diffusion of
wealth,” says Mr. Root, “is out-
stripping its concentration.” Act-
ually, there has never been a time
in human history when the diffus-
ion of wealth and of material com-
fort was so great as it is now.
Doubtless, the organizers of the
sugar trust and of the Standard
Oil company made a great deal of
money for themselves, but they al-
so made a great deal of money for
the public generally. As Mr.
Root put it, “we are getting sugar
now for less thin it cost to make
it before the Sugar trust was form-
ed,” and “the poorest American
farmer is lighting his little house
tonight, at trifling cost, more bril-
liantly than palaces were lighted a
century ago. * ’ The great profit
has gone to the mass of the people.
101901 the separatci savings-
bank-accounts in the United States
^FvmbeTed 6,358,723, with an ag-
gregate value of deposits of $2,-
507,094,005. aln 1901 there were
39 *6 SIseparatefarm*,averaging
over 146 acres to a firm, or a little
: more than one farm to every nine
persons of our rural population,
of these fams except about
the vast volume of the 17,249,377
immigrants since 1850 was of peo-
ple from other countries, poor and,
in most part, of the lowest earning
Capacity, their coming has tended,
of course, to keep down the aver-
age of earnings.
These are facts upon which every
American can look with pride and
hopefulness. It is true that a few
may have obtained riches for them-
selves by organizing tbe means
and methods of utilizing the
discoveries and inventions of mod-
ern life, but by their skill and
their courage in devising them and
risking their money on them they
have brought to the whole people
9, ^profit beside the aggregate of
which their private gains are made
to seem petty.’ The wealth of thei
richest men beside the aggregate
of wealth of the farmers, the sav-
ing-bank depositors and the wage
earners is trifling. As Mr. Root
says, only because the returns of
capital are massed together do they
seem great and only because the
returns of labor are scattered do
they seem small.
It is tki^^tadastrial system,
brought to aQ^erfection so conclut
sively demonstrated in a diffusion
of wealth and Comfort unprecedent-
ed iu the history of mankind, the
Americans $re called upon by mad
demagogy to*tear to pieces and de-
stroy !

most an average of a farm or a

the United States.” When and
where m the'Whole history of man-
kind has there been the like? .
A very strong point was made
by Mr. Root in saying that this
steady increase in the earnings of
American labor has gone on in
spite of the drawbacks of a great
and continual addition to our pop-
ulation through immigration. As

From statistes it is learned that
the longest-lived people of the
world are the Norwegians. They
are temperate and simple in their
habits and preserve in great vigor
their digestive power, which, is
most necessary in the maintenance
of good health. The American usu-
ally live9 so fast that the stomach
is neglected until his health is
completely undermined, and he
finds himself gradually getting
weaker and weaker. If’you are
one of these sufferers we offer you
a medicine that will strengthen
your stomach and start you anew
on health’s pathway, and that is
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. ,■ It

Vantage.of the City of Cciero
and DeWitt County:
> UERO and DeWITT COUNTY are withiu fifty miles of the
l? Gulf of Mexico and possess a mild climate free of aggravat- $
ing malarial conditions prevalent along the coast from jtbe
Colorado river to Louisiana. The winters amount to little, three
years out of seven or eight there being uo frost to kill bauauas. This
gives the greatest possible advantage to truck growing, an industry
weld established here now, and all kiuds of energetic farming. The
summers are hot but not oppressive. CUERO offers splendid edu-
cational advantages, having a public school second to none iu tbe
state aud two adkdeuiies. All religious denominations are well rep-
resented and there is a Y. M. C. A. Social conditions are above the
average. The price of property is reasonable and the tax rale law.
Two railways offer good transportation facilities The city’s pride
is her factories. They are the"foundation on which a big city will
soon rise. Here they are: A $100,000 cotton mill, 100-tou oil mill,
compress, soap factory, three large gins, ice factory, bottling works,
machine shops, creamery, wood yards, largest electric plant between
Houston and San Auloaio, cigar factory, broom factory, waterworks
system, besides the largest river dam in the stale from which a big
irrigating system for rice aud truck is operated, 1000 horse pobrer by
water being available. The merchants of Cuero are enterprising and
<| tbe inauguration of the above industries is due to tbeir influence.
DeWITT C,OUNTY. offers the best climatic conditions
and unquestionably the best soil in the state for truck
growing and diversified farming, having a great variety
m _
of loam soils and an unlimited water supply. The truck
growing interests are now assuming large proportions.
Rice and sugar cane do well, as do field crops and fruits.
