Uncle Sam's Greatness.
Editor News:
Uncle Sam was 236 years old
on July 4, 1912. He is the rich-1
est inhabitant of the gloeb to-J
day. With his $130,000,000,000
of wealth he far surpasses even
Great Britain with her mighty
empire of foreign possessions
and her world-renowned Bank of
England, together with the vast
streams of wealth derived from
her world-wide commerce and
her gigantic manufacturing and
mining interests. The difference
is $10,000,000,000 more than all
the wealth of Russia with her
more than 8,000,000 square miles
of territory and her 160,000,000
of people, while China with her
440 millions of people and more
than 4 million square miles of
territory is almost a pauper in
comparison. Uncle Sam's
wealth is twice that of France,
more than twice that of Ger
many, and more than five times
that of Austria-Hungary.
He is the greatest farmer,
manufacturer, miner and trader
on earth. He has more miles of
railway than all the rest of the
world combined He furnishes
more than two-thirds of the
world's supply of cotton, four
fifths of the world's corn supply,
one-fourth of the world's wheat
crop, one-third of the world's
lumber, half of the hogs and one
fourth of the cattle of the world,
one-third of the world's coal and
iron, and one-fourth of the
world's gold and silver. His
h
manufactures amount to one
third of the world's total, far ex
ceeding those of any other na
tion. While there are four other na
tions controling more territory
than Uncle Sam, still his do
mains make up an empire great
er than those of the great em
pires of antiquity. One of his
48 states is larger than France,
Germany or Ausstia-Hungary,
and three times as large as the
island of Great Britain, which
controls eleven million square
miles of territory and nearly four
hundred millions of people.
Belgium, Holland, Greece, Port
ugal, Servia, Bulgaria, Montene
gro and Switzerland could all be
laid down side by side in the
Lone Star State and have room
to rattle around like pills in a
box. There would still be
enough territory left uncovered
to make two states as big as
Kentucky and sixteen as big as
Rhode Island. One of his terri
tories is more than twice as large
as the Lone Star Stat? This
territory bought from Russia in
1867 for $7,200,000 has paid for
itself 45 times in fish and gold
alone, while its natural resources
have scarcely been touched as
yet.

cle Sam has lived, his people
have increased in number from
three millions to one hundred
million. He now ranks fourth
among the nations in population,
with a greater per cent., of year
ly increase than any other na
tion. His capacity for support
ing population has hardly been
taxed yet, for vast agricultural,
mineral, and manufacturing re
sources yet remain untouched
within his domains, and he has
an average of only26 people to
the square mile, while Belgium
has 055, and other European
countries have nearly as many.
The science and art of agricult
ure, which we may call the sci
ence and art of producing food
and clothing is but in its infan
cy in our country as yet. When
it is a common occurrence for a
farmer to produce from 45 to 50
barrels of corn per acre and oth
er farm products in proportion,
then we may begin to talk of
having learned the art of farm
ing. This can be done.
In the arts, sciences and in
ventions Uncle Sam bas won a
place not inferior to any other
nation on earth unless it be Ger
many. More of the great inven
tions of modern times have been
made in our nation than in any
other. In enlightenment, in
moral and religious development
our country easily takes first
rank. Our nation is recognized
all over the globe as a mighty
world power, the greatest of all
the world's republics. Our
growth and development has
been without a parallel in the
world's history, and yet we are
only in the early morning of our
i development, if we but pursue
the right course. If we but pre
serve intact our government as
our fathers intended it to be, and
make our system of public ed
ucation what it shonld be, there
is scarcely a limit to the great
ness that we may yet achieve.
But these are both in danger,
With all the outward manifesta
tions of robust health on the
part of Uncle Sam, with all his j
magnificent physical proportions
and with all his wonderful dis
plays of strength and power, he
is afflicted with a number of ma
lignant cancers, which, if allow
ed to run their course unchecked
will prove fatal by the close
of the present century. Some of
these may be classed as political
cancers, some as criminal can
cers and others as -personal habit
cancers.
