WON'T BEAR COMPARISON

A reverend gentleman. formerly of
Walla Walla. writing from California.
gives the following gloomy account Of
his observations in that State:
The water to a Walla Wallaian IS
almost uhdrinkable. Rents are so high
and crops SO uncertain that renters
have q sure and unmistaksble road TO
poverty. During the last twenty years
come renters in this valley have paid in
the way of rents $3.50 per acre for land,
and yet they have neither land nor
money. Enormous taxes are TO pay,
and land owners and working men pay
the larger part. Capitalists and
bankers pay but little tax. Capital
buys Legislation and legislation protects
capital. The irrepressible conflict be-
tween capital (under its present man.
asemenD and labor is cropping out, and
in time must produce the most horriiy-
ing results. Tho rich are growing
richer. the poor are daily becoming
poorer. The question of bread and
clothing is. even here in this land Of
plenty, becoming the question of the
day. Chinese labor is fastening on
the day when. right or wrong, food aud
clothing for the hungry and suffering
will be wrung from capital.

little homestead. n span Of horses and

many here who even own land"

new States allowed named were filled
With just such n population. They re-
Alized the wise man 5 wish for neither
poverty nor riches and constituted the
happiest, bravest and best society then
or over before known upon the planet :"
But it il not 80 correc. in this other
statement, that 1T is most difficult for
poor man to secure hundred and
sixty acres from the Government on
which a decent living can be made.
Hence the vast accumulation Of poverty
aud dependence in the large cites, and
the distress among the laboring classes,
which is becoming one Of the promi-
nent questions for political treatment
in the United States"
Verify, there are homesteads of cheap
lands existing by the hundreds of thou
sands IN Washington Territory and her
neighboring Territories on which a
living may be wrought out by labor
Yet they liz vacant. What is the
remedy. Only that the greater part Of
the lands now remaining unimproved
are OF the class requiring a heavier out
lay of capital to develop them than
those of Iowa. aud Illinois required.
Hence the problem tor our statesmen to
solve. in order to relieve the terrible
suffering and condition of social con-
gcstion that prevails ut the East. is To
devise financial system by which the
necessary supplies of money can br
made available for the poor man 10 dc.
velop his farm.
Government stands To the people in
the relation of an engineer to the ma
chine. When that machine gets dis,
ordered. it is his duty t. make repairs
at the point where needed. 1t is the
province Of the government to assume
such control over matters of finance
and money distribution as may be re-
quisite to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number. All that is needed to
render millions of acres Of Washington
Territory lands productive aud supper.
tive Of the starving surplus of Ameri.
can citizens, is facilities to obtain
enough Of the capital lying idle else
where to effect their improvement.
