ards earnest instructions to all agents of the Freed

selves; after that time the lands will be offered to
general application. But five dollars are needed TO
obtain possession of division of land not greater than
20 acros and after five years settlement and cuitiva
tion FIVE dollars its full right and title
to the settler. 1t is important that loyal white and
colored soldiers should understand fully the value Of
the opportunity offered them; and we judge, from the

lands are well advertised by the friends of civilization

TIE DAY.

To-day is the second Fourth Of July since the con-
cluson Of War and the first since the Presidents an
nouncemeut ofthe actual restoration of Peace. We
might have had much more to celebrate than we are
called upon today--laws universally just and citi-
zenshp truly free but something has been gained. in
spite of those who bunder in the face Of l776 and
is great if not unminged, satisfaction to 60 back to
first principles and refresh ourselves once more with
the Declaration of Independence. We again invite
the attention Of orators, Democratic and other
wise. to Jeiferson's immortal maxim, that
GAN men are created free and equal"
The joy of to-day is not tnged with the cxultation
that came with the military triumphs of 1865, nor
with the sadness that was inseparabe from Mr.. Lin
coins cruel and recent death. Let all the memories
of that sad way perish, its hatred, its animosty s
strfes and Peace be really with this land The can
mons are hushed the roses bloom fields, and
curious spectators wander over ridges and streams
where men recently wrestled in the agony of death
and carnage II is with no spirit of boastful remem-
brance that we celebrate this Fourth Of July Ths
War confirmed il to US as the National Day, and We
trust it will always come attended with these evi-
dences of Peace and Prosperity.

EXPLODED PROPHECIES.

In 1923 Jackson Congress, against the votes Of
England, passed the most decidedly Protective
Tariff we ever had. Slas Wright and Martin Van
Buren, voted for it. The Ercning Post yehemently
opposed it, predicting all manner of evil from its
operation. Here IS its foreboding that our naviga-
ton would be ruined by it:

Did the Tariff of 1893 "prohibt the importation of
foreign merchandise" See the returns given in our
customs under that act. Did it destroy our naviga-
toni VIGOROUSLY not. Never were our foreign
commerce and navigation more beautifully prosperous
than under that very Tariff
Now hear The Post predict the destruction by that
Tariff of our Cotton-growing industry especially in
far as it looked to foreign market:
From The Evening Post. August 5. 1929.

The prohibition placed by the English Goyernmeot
upon the transit through England of continental emit
grants has already led to the opening of direct steam
navigation between Sweden and the United States.
In the first days Of June, the steamer Maurtus left
Gothenburg, with about 900 emgrants direct for the
United States. The honor Of opening this steam
communication belongs to the American Emerant
Company of this city, which devotng special at
tenton to the immigration Of Scandinayans, and has
already exercised marked influence upon the increase
of this immigration. While in former years the aver.
age annual number of Scandinavian immigrants into
the United States amounted to only 200, in 1865,
the American Emigrant Company was alone instru.
mental in bringing over 5000 Scandinavians This
year the number Of emigrants whom this Company
have brought over already nearly reaches that num-
ber and the aggregate number for the year is likely to
exceed 6 200.
It's noteworthy fact that the Scand;nayians belong
among the best immigrants which this country re-
ceiyes from Europe. Nearly all of those who have
thus far come are industrious and healthy. Hardly
single one OF them is destitute Of means OF the 400
that were landed this week by the City Of Dublin,
every one brought with him an average sum Of about
$3.50 Most Of them, without stopping, go to the
Western States where they soon become thrifty. aud
save enough money to aid their relatives in the old
country to come over As already stated, the immi-
grafton from the scandinavian countries is assuming
larger dimensions and promises TO become of consid-
cradle importance for the Western States.
