MonopoIizins the Public Lsnds.

We are glad TO notice that 80 yigoronl
aud influential Republican journal as
the Chicago Tribune has taken up the cud-
: gel in behalf Of reform ia the manner of
disposipg of the Public Lands, aud we call
'atttehtion to an article from its colum ms
which We print in another column. 1t
endorses and commends with sharp reas-
oning Mr. Julian's proposition TO dispose
of the lands hereafter only ia q way that
shall not debar from settlement and oc-
cupancy those who need them for use and
cultiyation--that shall secure them to ac-
tual settlers, to the utter exclusion Of those
who would hold them in large qusntities
for speculative purposes; and 1t says truly,
that "lt is hardly possible To emphasize
TOO strongly the importance Of this pro-
vision" If such provision had been
tadopted fifteen years sgo and rigidly ad.
hered to with respect to every grant. for
railroad or other purposes, the country
would have been richer to-day by thous-
ands of millions, and there would be SOL
i'd lines of settlers on the routes. of all
leading and necessary railroads fully a.
fast as the roads could be constructed.
The policy should have been, and sho'd
hereafter be, where great national inter-
ssts required any national aid for impro-
wing the means of ommunicatiou between
important sections of the country that
must otherwise remain isolated from each
other. that the lands be dedicated for their
legitimate use, and at moderate prices, the
proceeds only going to make up the re-
qured aid-tn point of fact very little, if
any. aid would be needed for such pur-
poses if the lands were kept out of the
hands of monopolists. There is scarcely
a shadow of a. doubt that if, in our own
State, the lands granted for railroad pur-
poses had been subjected to- settlement at
Government prices, there would by this
time have been a. belt Of thriving and
wellsto. do farmers, twenty miles wide ~
least, along the projected line of the three
railroads Which they we're intended to aid
thus furnishing in advance of their COM
struction. funds for the work, and bust
ness for them to do when completed. -
