The present per capita circulation is $29.36--the largest in onr history, and the largest among great nations, except, prise--no enterprise which proposes to acquire actual property and to produce real wealth--suffers for lack of capital, although it may be somehwat hampered by previous speculative engagements of owner? of capital. •'Legitimate business," as Mr. King says, "was never more sound or active." Every legitimate industry has as much business as it can attend to, and in hun­ dreds of cases', more. "It is this self­ same prosperity," adds Mr. King, "that has absorbed, and will continue to ab sorb, the floating supply of monev in the country, leaving Wall street in a hapless state." : ; fgwpsg DO YOU GET DP " V A LAME BACK ?

THE PLAINDEALER is a paper for the people--a fact that cannot be denied. Mud slinging takes no part in it8 make­ up. I# Two more years of the full dinner pail, And work that will be steady; Two more years the free traders will wail. Six more years of "Teddy." WHAT the drought in Australia means may be judged from the state­ ment that in some sections children seven years of age have never seen a drop of rain, and in many districts there bas been no rain for four years. Famine is sweeping the islands. Why should the people of Illinois worry about crop conditions? m Now that the schools are open parents -will do well to remember that children between the ages of seven and fourteen must attend school at least sixteen weeks in the year, and for every willful neglect to send a child to school as pre­ scribed by law the offender is punishable by a fine of not less than $1.00 and not more than $5.00 and cost of suit IT seems to be generally conceded that Joe Cannon of this state will be ;' :«jthe next Speaker of the House. He is " 'one of the oldest members, a man of xiotable individuality, honest, and a \ leader. Illinois deserves the honor and . Is willing to place her honor in the hands of "Uncle Joe." No Illinoisan Is better entitled to the distinction. THERE is no earthly excuse for par­ ents in McHenry in keeping their chil­ dren oat of school. Why is it that a man will let his son grow to manhood as ignorant as a native of Darkest Afri­ ca when education is free? Why will civilized men deprive their children of education when we are spending mill­ ions of dollars and sacrificing lives for the enlightenment of minds among the heathens? Think, you guilty parents, think of the enormity of your crime for your child's sake. In the name of God do your duty. SOME person makes the statement that every member of the syndicate of politicians who purchased the McHenry County Democrat is looking for some­ thing. Such a statement is erroneous however. Who could imagine for a moment that C. P. Barnes, Y. S. Lum- ley, O. H. Gillmore, J. F. Casey, D. R. Joslyn, F. R. Jackman or Geo. L. Murphy would seek a political office? Perish the thought. Why, even Char­ lie Lemmers would not take up the dut­ ies of postmaster of Woodstock if the commission were handed him on a silver platter. It is queer how the people will misconstrue the meaning of that word "reformation" as used by the Mc Henry County Republican. PLENTY OF MONEY. "The trouble with our present cur­ rency system," said Philip King, finan ciai editor of the New York 8un, in bis Monday morning survey of the financial situation, "is not that money is too scarce, bnt too plentiful. If, in response to the demand of speculators, Congress should recklessly ordain a further in flation, the most monstrous financial perhaps, in France, where business HE WAS JOKING. The railroads constitute the industrial barometer of any country and the many companies doing business in the United States can flourish only when a wave of prosperity strikes the country. During the year 1901 the roads were taxed to their fullest capacity. At the present time it is impossible for them to handle all the business owing to a shortage of cars. It is estimated that it would re­ quire 50,000 additional freight care to properly transport the freight which is now lying in warehouses and on the farms of the West. Still there are some who can not see the point. "Yes," said a well-known McHenry man while en­ gaged in a political argument recently, "the railway magnates and allthe rest of the d d capitalists are enjoying pros­ perity, but the common people have been side-tracked." The person making the above remark is perfectly sane, fairly well educated and a studious reader. Does he not know that the entire country was side-tracked during Cleveland's last administration ? Does he not know that the common people support the rail­ roads. It is they who make it possible for the railroads to prosper. Since Jannary 1 of this year the roads have carried nearly 600,000,000 passengers, and they were surely not all capitalists, bnt common people who were paying their fares. The amount of freight car ried amounts to enormous proportions, consisting of produce from the farms being transported to the common people in the cities, and mill products manu­ factured by the common people aud transported to the common people in other parts of the country. This same man that made the above remark is to­ day earning $2.50 per day and acknowl­ edges that he is always able to find work at his trade. During Cleveland 's last four years this same man earned $1.50 per day and acknowledges that he was out of work half the time. We will admit that many commodities are higher in price today than they were in 1896. But is it not better to have a dollar to exchange for seventeen pounds of sugar than to be without the dollar when twenty-two pounds are offered? Startling, But True.
