What is needed is a railroad down the Verdigris valley, traversing the connty from north to south, and another railroad running through the county from east to west, both- of which would give us good outlets.

Money at the East is very plentiful and rates low. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are laying idle in some places waiting for takers, and no demand. Out here money can scarcely begot hold of, and the complaint is that times are growing harder every day. With our abundant crops, this should not be.

must be some other cause for it, besides little or no demand- for produce. The rate of interest is higher here than at the East, and some of the idle capital ought to seek invest ment here. We suspect that one great trouble is in the Kansas laws relative to the collection of debts. Our laws seem to have been framed for the purpose of encouraging meii to become rascals, and to avoid paying their debrs.

Such railroads are already looking to us, eager to know whether or not we will offer them encouragement. We have not the slightest doubt that railroads will ever be constructed for our benefit unless we extend to them aid.

This is what we will have to do in order to realize the great benefits that accrue from the building of railroads. But the questions for the people to ponder well are, How much can we afford to give in behalf of railroads, which roads will best pay us to thus invest in, and which are the most likely to be soonest, built provided the needed aid is offered. i WISDOM.
