LAND GRANTS.

A few words now on the land grant
question and | am done.
Among the greatest errors committed
in national politics in the past ten years
has been the bestowal of public lands
on private corporations. Tie first grant
was to the Pacific r rlway in 1862
Before that year, there had been but
two land grants ever made by the gen.
eral government for works OF internal
Improvement, and both these were
made to States, not to private corpora
tons. The need Of a Pacific Railroad
was manifest at the outbreak of The war.
The grandeur of the idea. aud the abb
sence Of all reliable estimates of its
cost, msgni6ed the supposed difficulties
of the undertaking. Both parties uni
ted to give it a muni6cent land grant.
But the hole made for the cat was big

IN any proper sense Of the word. The
government will be bound then to do,
what it always has been bound to do,
but has never done-furnish the people
all their money, the measurer, exchang
er and distributor of all their values,
1t will he necessary to keep up the per
capita circulation, and maintain its sta
bility and elasticity by some suitable
means. The people will have got a good
money; stable, elastic, establishing low
and uniform interest, and thus prOmOt-
ing happiness and industry by distribu
ting eqntably the increase Of the land
between capital and labor. The curse
Of the debt VIII thus turn to blessing
by teaching u how to escape the usufy
which has robbed and degraded the
masses Of all nations from Israel to
Great Britain
My remarks, feIlow-citizens are al
ready so protracted that | have time
only to glance at two topics on which |
would be glad to speak at large-the
tariff and the land grant policies Of the
Republican and the Democratic parties

CONCLUSION.

| know we'll what answer the constella-
ton of Republican orators, who will blaze
in our skies on tho 9th, will make to all
we say Of the depression Of industry and
the decay of prosperity among the masses.
They will point to the two railroads push
ing to the Pacific, to the unexampled ex-
tension Of our railroad system in every
State to the rows Of palaces rising 10 our
cities, and the displays of wealth shining on
every hand. But these are evidences only
Of the growth and concentration OF capital,
not Of the prosperity Of the masses. To
show their condition, ascertain how steady
is the employment Of mechanics and labor
ing men, and what is Left of their wages af-
ter tariffs and excuses on all the necessaries
and common comforts Of life are taken out
Hear Commissioner Wells statements,
based on official statistics, that the masses
live more poorly now than before the war
that, notwithstanding the increase Of
population, ever shoes and hats are worn.
and less tea, coffee and sugar consumed
now than then. Behold in every city east
and west tenement houses standing vacant
70 tell how Two frmilies are crow id by
hard times into the place lately filled by
one. See the million Of only half employed
men, IN New \ Ork and circuit of fiftv
miles, OF whom Horace Greeley tells. Re-
member the wall that went up out Of B ,ston
asst year from the eight thousand sewing
women in that small city who star,e in
sight of her gorgeous palaces lives on bu,
one poor meal day-and thus learn
Fellow citizens 1t is vain to look to the
Republican organization 10 arrest and rem
edy the evils | have discussed; or to Banks
or Railroad Companies, or any of the great
repositories of the wealth and power which
the policies Of that party have filched from
the people. You cannot divide those
forces With a few patriotic exceptions
they all act together. 1t has been and is
the fixed policy Of the Republican party to
build up great money powers by tariff, bank,
bond and land subsidies. These corpora
tons are now immensely powerful in Amer
lean politics and grow stronger yearly Al
ready in many States, through money and
patronage, they corrupt legislatures, make
the laws which govern them, and thus to
the extent of their interests rise superior to
the 70 pie and become Sovereign in the
State. With them, and the wealthy men
generally, who have been enriched by their
party 70 control the South. The Republican |

THE TARIFF.

The immense burden of taxes 10 pay
bank subsidies, and per cent interest
on the bonded debt, and especially the
enormous interest on money which the
currency policy Of the Republican par
~ has established, have weighed down
all productive industries since the war,
and crushed nearly all except those be
yond the reach of foreign competition,
or which have got a bonus for their work
from the rest Of the burdened people
through the tariff.
Thus, A establishes an iron furnace
at Strallssile, or Ferrara, Ohio, while
Is establishes one in Wales-both TO
II axe pig iron for the Ohio ma ket
Each does it On one hundred Thousand
dollars borrowed capital The Ameri-
can has cheaper ore aud fuel-hlS coal
makes IRON without cokiug, which the
Welsh coal does not and lie makes BIZ
product at the place Of consumption.
while the ErgIi>hman transports his
3 800 miles. But the Ennlishman has
cheaper labor he and his fellow labor
ers are less heavily taxed, and ne paws
but $4,000 a year interest while the
American pays $4,000. This puts
them nearly even, the Englishman per
haps httIe ahead. If the American
bad to pay only $4,000 year interest,
instead Of $4,000, he could take the
market, for that difference would, OF
itself, be fair profit. As it is, how
ever, he does the only thing left, makes
up the difference Of interest by tariff,
aud, while he is about it, gets it high
enough to drive the Engli>hman clear
out of nearly all American markets,
Hence, our Straitsvllle or Ferrara friend
has his home market to himself, and
exacts from consumers say s. per ton
more than formerly for bis iron, except
where be meets American competition.
Thus the general government gets only
about million dollars duties on pig
iron, while the whole American product
Is enhanced to consumers about fifteen
mllllons Each manufacturer Of the
pest grade Of iron from pig metal b as

To Nebraska, California, and Kansas
and the B. & M. r. r. Lands.

The Burlington Route,'' so called, lies right
in the path Of the Star Of Empire. 1t runs
almost Immediately in the center of the great
westward movement of emigration. Crossing
Illinois and Iowa, ii strikes the Missouri river
at three points.
These three points are the gateways into
three great sections of the ira MS Missouri re-
glon.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you TO the land of
gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per-
petual summer.
The middIs gateis Plattsmouth, which opens
upon the south half of Nebraska, south of the
Platte river, region unsurpassed on the con-
tient for agriculture and grazing. Just here
are the b. & NJ. Railroad lands, concerning
which Geo. S. Harris, the land officer at Bur-
lington, Iowa, can give you all information,
and in the heart of them IS Lincoln, the State
Capital and present terminus Of the road.
The Southern gate leads TO Kansas, By con-
nections with the st. Joe Road at Hamburg,
running direct to st. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and make all connections. 1t runs
the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and Pull
man dining cars, and should you take the
journey for the journeys sake alone, you will
be repaid or take il 10 find a home or farm,
and you cannot fnd either better than among
the b. & NJ. lands, where you can buy on ten
years credit, and at low price.

few evenings ago, we now take oc-
casion to record that the discourse
was huently spoken, was filled with
instruction, and was heard by a re-
spectacle and appreciative audience.
During the brief time be occupied in
speaking, his hearers learned more
geography than can be acquired by
months of the driest reading and the
hardest study. What the professor
said about the webfooted maidens OF
Oregon was Of course received with
several barrels of allowance. All

The proceeds were for the benefit of

tion of Lancaster.

PARIS GREEN AND THE COLORADO
PoTATo BEETLE.-Dr. LIE Baron, Illi-
nois State Entomologist, in the
Prairie Farmer states his belief that
Paris Green is the most effective and
practicable agent yet discovered for
destroying the Colorado Potato
Beetle, and gives the following di-
rections for its use
Becareful not to inhale the powder.
Always keep upon the side from
which the wind is blowing. Never
use it in the vicinity Of the house,
where children resort. Do not in
trust its use to young and careless
persons. Dilute itIlargely with flour
or ashes Shake it upon the vine
from a game bag, dredging-box, or
any other convenient buster, attach
cd to the end Of pole, four or five
feet in length.

New DEsTROYER.-We learn from
Mr. w. p. Stone, who resides on
Boico Prairie, south Of Lancaster,
that the orchards in that region are
being destroyed by a new species of
worm. The worm is about one and
a half inches long, brown color,
rather small, and has the measuring
motion. 1t spins web which it
uses as a bridge to pass from one tree
70 another, but does not nest in the
tree. These worms attack the early
growth which soon dies, the leaves
tall, and a few days siege gives the
tree the appearance of being dead.
What have our horticulturists TO re-
commend to rid orchards of these
pests, or prevent their encroach-
ments

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Last Sunday
afternoon, between 6 and : o'clock,
Miss Elvira Goodrich, aged 10 years,
daughter of MIR. Samuel Goodrich,
residing near Potosi, met with a
sad and fatal accident. She had gone
up stairs for the purpose Of changing
her garments, and entering an out
ot-the-wAy apartment used as gem
oral store and rubbish room, came in
contact with a loaded shot gun lean
ing against a box. The weapon fell
and was somehow discharged, the
entire shot entering the young lady's
person Immediately below her left
breast Her death was iustantane-
Gus. She was an exemplary and
highly respected girl, whose sad and
distressing death is deeply deplored
by many.

NORMAL NoTEs.-Spending a day
at the Platteviile Normal School last
week, the undersigned found the ms
titution in capital working order, ev-
cry thing moving tremendously, and
producing the most cheering results.
Some of the departments are not ov-
er full. President Charlton is well
liked, and has won golden opinions
from those with and for whom he la.
bors. Every member of the Facul-
ty labors earnestly in the discharge
Of his or her respective Duties
Some of the Seniors look just a trihe
tagged out from too much hard study;
bnt they mean to make good show
when that drea dful Commencement
Day comes around. "Merely to bask
and ripen is sometimes the Students
wiser business" etc. The athena
Society has IA great many perilously
clever members. Sometimes, as in
the case of Old Weller, spell it with
a we Sammy "vidth and Weldon"
20 together; but in this instance it
is undeniably beauty and wisdom
that are 10 partnership. The Phil
adelphians are yet as logically argu-
mentative as they were in our day,
and quite as able as then TO make
the worse appear the better reason"
Such society is a school in itself, a
school wherein young men come in
close contact with some Of the prac-
tcal and prosaic problems that they
will often encounter in the trial-and-
tribuIation period Of after life On
Friday evening Prof. Weld, we'll
known educator and author Of an
English grammar, addressed the
Pdiiddclphian and Athena societies in
the rooms Of the former, giving them
some right good advice. The Hon.
Fl Robbins was present, together
with other members of the Board Of
Normal Regents. Il.
