NEW YORK CITY, Oct. ID, 1886.
IhaSce noticed with pleasure the sugges-
lions of the Chicago American, that the set
tiers on the public lands s..c..!4 meet in con-
vention and adopt some means of representing
their claims and protecting their rights, and
hope 70 see that firm stand has been taken
for these purposes.
Would it not be we'll that one should also
be held in your vicinity! Its importance is
recognized by all; and in no way can the ifl-
terests of the settlers be better expressed, or
their claims more strongly enforced, than by
agreeing upon some uniform plan of action.
Let the matter be coolly discussed, dispas-
passionately decided on, and firmly supported.
Their claims are so well understood that need
not rccur TO them. Their strength lies in the
justice Of their claims, and in their numerical
force. Let all be understood, and it will not
fail to secure those rights once enjoyed, but
now taken from them.
The enterprise and industry of the settler
make these lands an object ofspeculation. De:
populate. the country, and you remove the
charm OF the foreign capitalist. Should any
Sic .,,arvel at their frmness Of purpose,
,'Iould point him to settler; trace him from the
home which he lett III i;,e east, TO where he
is now undergoing the privations of the from
tier. struggling with the thousand ills incident
TO new country, and all to secure his 200
to buy quarter section Of land. with which
sum, when obtained, he hurries to the land sale,
leaving behind him his wife, his children, his
little hut, his farm, his all. Is such a man to
be triacd with! Is man SO situated TO staud
and see his farm sold to a Spectator, because
he can pay more for it! What could he say
on his return to his family! lie would say,
'!he Jarm is gone! ,pe must begin again! this
labor Is aN!ost! Ibid all the money I had, did
aN could! !. 1t ,oas sol9to. G,lntAe-.!' is there
man viz ::.5 could suffer this without resistance!
II YOU do not represent your situation to con-
gress and speak to them in one voice, and in
struct your representatives and delegate to act,
you will be called upon to leave your farms,
lniade valuable by your own industry,) to 9TH
ers who como IN at the eleventh hour to enjoy
the benefits Of your toll and labor.

TIE WEATRER.--We have heard recently
BY verbal report and newspaper paragraphs
ofthe early setting in of winter weather down
east which greatly moves our sympathies for
our eastern friends, whose lot is unhappily
cast in that bleak region of the world, where
'svapors. clouds and.storms'' hold undisputed
sway from the middle Of October, to the last
ofMasch.' And we would add word of in
vitation, or, if they would not take it amiss, Of
advice, recommending them to migrate as.
soon as circumstances would allow, to this
more favored cline. We are just at that point
