These facts would seem to show that the
growth of wealth has been accompanied by a
progressive tendency to equality IN It's disirlou-

whatever be the degree OF misery suffered by
particular individuals and trades, among the
working classes. there is constant general

California-Mining.

" The letter Of J. WINCHESTER, ESD,
which we publish this morning, will be read
with attention by all interested In California
and her future productiveness and prosperity.
Mr.. Winchester is widely known as an energetic
though finally unsuccessful publisher in this
city. whence he migrated early in lS49 to Cali
fornia, where he has spent more thantwo years,
returning on visit few days since. During
those two years, so eventiul for California, he
has been digger and worker, an Editor and
Publisher, for one year State Printer, and for
some time a prospecter fer Quartz Veins, &c,
&c.-so that, being an intelligent and most IN
dustrous observer. he ought to know what there
is in California as well as another man, and we
believe he does. We are promised further con-
tributions from his pen in fuller eucidation OF
the actual state of the country.

LAND REFoRM.-At the Rensselaer, Coun-
ty Opposition Convention, which met on the
18th at Troy, it was
"Rssoired, That the recognition Of Mans Natural
and Inaenabe Right to the Son. is a cherished prin
cipe of American Democracy and in our opinion
the Public Domain ought TO be- by an Act of Con-
gress, reserved for the free and exclusive use of
Actual Settlers, in limited quantities. only at its
actual cost to the General Government thereby pre-
venting rich Capitalists and greedy Spectators from
buying up those lands in large quantities, and there
by creating those very Pairooneres which have
been so lnlmcal TO the true interests OF the State
and curse to the whole Agricultural community"
While we are duly thankful for the good con-
tanned i'll this resolve, we apprehend that it Is
practically neutrazed 10y the admission of the
principle that the Government should exact of
settlers on the Public Lands their actual COST
that is, the amount at which the Government
may compute the cost of the Indian and other
Wars, Treaties, Annexations, &c, by which the
National ownership OF the Public Domain was
acquired and perfected If the cost OF the Revo-
lutionary War is included, and interest compu-
ted thereon, we apprehend that the price of the
lands would be increased above the present rate.
II is much simpler and safer to stand square
on a sound and clear principle than to be entan-
gled in labyrinth of expedencies and details
Man has natural right to land to cultivate. Just
as he has to air to breathe and water TO drink
He has no such right to the air which some
one has artiticially manufactured nor to wa
ter from the well which some one has dug
but the water which runs free, the all
which bloweth where 1t listeth and the Land
which no one has improved and rendered fruitful
are the nghtful and equal property OF all men
who need them. OF course, Government has a
night TO tar Land or anything else to defray Its
legitimate expenses but this tax should not be
allowed to precede occupation and thus operate
as bar to settlement and cultivation Let the
landeSs man be welcomed to a home from the
Public Domain, and he Will soon repay what the
Government has expended IN clearing the title

PAPER FROM FLax.-A great part of the
Printing aper used in this country is made from
Foreign Rags-the Nations of cultivated Europe
having more OF the raw material than IS needed
fer the very limited amount OF paper which their

thence derived through paper.mill from these
infectious Rags. Our paper Is inferior to the
English because its stock is mainly Cotton while
that OF the English is Linen.
A little enterprise and inventive genius might
effect a very happy change here, In the subsIltu-
tioa of Flax Lint for Cotton Rags as the basis
for Paper. Flax may be grown prohtaby at $40
per tun for the unrotted straw or stalk, OF
which six tuns yield tun of Lint or fiber ma

sder that perfection. mere trife-say half
cent at the outslde-will defray the cost of
bleaching and softening that fiber so as to fit it
admirably for Paper making. These are but ap-
ordinations, yet we feel confident that, on an
extensive scale and with the best machinery
Flax Lint suited to the manufacture of Paper
may be produced for less than five cents per

DO Laborers Share in the Increase of Wealth
This is question which has been very
widely and ardently debated, without arriving at
any decisive conclusion, although the majority
of the evidence has seemed to be IN the atiirma.
tive. For our part, We are free 10 say that we
have come to be of that way OF thinking We
have arrived at the decided conviction that in
every community where there Is a real increase Of
wealth the laboring classes must have their part
in Its benefits and thatit is only where the gene
raj wealth has ceased 10 grow, OF Is actually d.
mnishing, that the rich become richer and the
poor poorer. The growth OF wealth is natural
process, and must accordingly tend 10 democratic
equality of conditions On this head Mr.. Porter.
the well known English statsticlan, IN a re-
cent publication, furnishes some interesting
facts He shows, for instance, that from 1890
TO lsis, in England, the number Of deposltors
N the Savings Banks rose 4l2.2l7 to 1856 ssl,
and the amount OF deposits from tl3,5O7,OOO
in 1880. TO f2S.ll4,OO0 IN lSis. This is equal
TO l2s. Cd per head OF the whole population
in 1880. and pos lid. IN lsiS As these de-
posts are made principally by working people
they are an evidence OF large increase IN the
amount of wealth IN their hands
So too, in regard TO the holders OF the public
debt, the number OF those whose annual divi-
dend is not above is has augmented, while the
number receiving annually from $50 to 1900
has fallen off OF the 2s4l27 holders OF this debt
