posure. They recognize the fact that the
men whom the amendment will bit most
hardly are the men that have throughout
sacrificed their principles in order TO op-
pose democracy They recognize that
while democracy has always one principle
opposed sumptuar laws that the Germans
who are of the same way of thinking
from self interest, while it is matter of
principle with the demoerats-have always
voted against democratic candidates. They
argue that by this persistent support of re-
publicans and republicanism, the Germans
of Iowa have made that party so strong
that it is able to do this thing. Had the
German vote of Iowa been, as il should
have been. democratic the republican party
would never have been strong enough tc
have attempted prohibition.
In view of all these facts, while the
democratic party has and will oppose pro
hibItion, as contrary to democratic doc
trincs and democratic principles, it yet
10 justified in the stand that the German
citizens of Iowa deserve nothing more al
its hands. 1t has done its duty by then

A NEW MONOPOLY.

1t has been the popular notion for years
past that the farming interests or granger
element of the country, so called, were the
natural opponents of monepolies as being
the most affected thereby. Indeed the
anti-monopoly movement had its origin in
this country with the class of community
aforesaid, who still imagine that as they
were tie founders of the movement, they
are yet its essential support But accord
ing to the investigation of Judge jameson.
monopolies are-springing up among the
farming pursuits equally formidable and
detrimental with any others. He cites in
showing the tendeicy in this regard the
gigantic wheat raising farms of the North
west. In these, large capitals are invested
in wheat lands, in machinery and implc-
a magnificent scale. Such buildings only
are erected at central points, as are neces-
sary for lodging and feeding the army of
men and animals employed during the
short season from seed time to har-
vest When the crop has been Sc
cured, this army melts away to the dis
tant States or cities, TO return, if at
all, only in the following year. The pro
duce of the fields is shipped to market; tie
lands are never fertilized, but the army of
cultivators marches to new fields, to repeat
the desolatirg process. And most fatal
thing of all, in their neighborhood are
seen no farms OF small proprietors, no
homes, the pride and hope of a republic.
This evil is yet in its infancy, and it is
only by forecasting the future in the light
of history that the direful effects of such a
process can be estimated. Were this to
become favorite mode of investing the
great capitals accommodating on every hand.
considering that cur lands may be called
upon to feed the world, il is hardly a
stretch of fancy to depict the great West,
including Illinois, as parcelled out into
FARMS each of the size of county, culti-
waited by serfs, the profits Of whose toll
goes to the great proprietors, the lords of
the soil. 1t is stated as fact, that the
Standard Oil Company is nov engaged in
buying up immense tracts of the wheat
lands of Dakota, with view, it is sup
posed of bringing to bear upon the pro
duction of wheat the business methods
which ii has found so successful in that of
refined oil

THE NEGRO AND THE CHINESE.

The republican party has taken the stand
on the Chinese question that it is contrary
to their party traditions to exclude them
and they instance the negro another eli
ement that they have introduced into
American political economy. To be sure
Senator Jones comb It ID this, and claimed
that the negro himself should never have
been allowed To vote, but this is position
that the republican party as a whole, al
though 1t may agree with him can no,
consistently o. safely support him in. Blu,
now comes the negro himself and takes
democratic ground on the Chinese aues-
ton. arguing that he must go.
The following article by Prof Richard
T. Greener of Washington. can be taken as
indicative of the negro idea on the que.
ton:

introduce for the purpose of maintaining
peace in ireland. He said he approved
the application of the Irish Church surplus
fund for aiding tenants in arrears, but
feared that the fund was not large enough
for the purpose.
Messrs. Healy, O'Shea and Maciariane
expressed satisfaction with Mr.. Gladstone's
statement. Mr.. Healy said he believed
the intentions of the Government as indi
Gated by Mr.. Gladstone were sincere.
Lord Fitz Maurice OiberaD maintained
that any plan for dealing with arrears
should be compulsory. He declared that
unless this question was dealt with and
state of things introduced enabling the par
ties affected to start afresh. there would
never be peace and quiet in Ireland. he
suggested that Griffith's valuation be es
tablished as the basis of rents until the
Land Court shonld be able to fix them.
Mr.. Sexton considered this speech sig
nificant as the herald of the time wher
Irish affairs would take up a smaller share

GLADSTONE ON THE IRISH QUESTION

Mr.. Redmond in moving the second
reading of the Land Law of Ireland Act
Amendment Bill, as drafted by Messrs
Parnell and Healy, said that the necessity
for amending the act was recognized by
everybody and was a crushing answer to
the acc usation that the Irish party desire
to deprive tenants of the benefits of the
Land Act.
Mr.. Gladstone said the government could
not support the second reading of the bill
The Land act, he said. might not be dis
turbed, hut this opinion did not apply TO
the purchase and arrears clauses The
latter clause certainly fell far short of its
object, and should be legisla.ed upon
early in the present session. The Govern
ment would approach the question impair
tally, listening to the suggestions of all
qualified persons. and settle the question
effectually. Mr.. Gladstone praised the
system foi setting arrears sketchcd in the
Irish bill, and said he knew that many
compulsory. He considered that relief
should take the form of gift aud not that
of u loan. he would discuss the purchase
clauses on Mr.. Smiths motion and said he
saw in the Irish bill The first CLEAN of hope
on dark subject, for, although
he was confident of the power of
the empire, compulSion was completely
alien to the spirit of the constitution Mr.
Gladstone also referred to proposals it
might be the duty of the Government to
