MAYOR PowDERLYs INACCURATE REMARKS AS TO
THE LAND GIVEN TO RAILROADS AND WORKING
MEN.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Mayor POwderly, or
Scranton PENN Grand Master Workman OF the Knights
of Labor reported saying at the mass meeting OF
the Brotherhood OF Teegraphers last night that tne
public lands should be reserved for actual settlers ana
not another acre be granted railways or monopoles
The records of the Interior Department, he said. snow
that from 1852 to 1871 296.000OO0 acres have been
given away to monopoies by Congress. These lauds'
he added were stolen, and II q workngman would ask
for one acre he would be laughed at" In his study OF
land statistics Mayor Powderly seems TO have overlooked
the fact that workngmen" have asked for and received
of millions of acres OF the public
lands
Only last year. for example, the entries original ana
final under the Homestead law amounted to S.57o,4IZ
acres aud this year in the Territory OF Dakota alone
% 491 "wOrkingmen" have asked for and received
267 227 acres OF public landau area greater tnan th
OF the State OF Connecticut. Mr. Powderlys STATISTICS
OF the amount OF land "gtven away TO mon0p0ies oy
Congress" absurd. Calling every railroad whlcm,
has ever received acre OF public land monopoly;
and adding all the gifts together the total amount re-
ceved by all Of them from 1850 to June 80 1882 ac-
cOrdng to the Land Office report, was 1945 64 acres
OF course they Will receive more II they earn It,

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. "a. 1893.
A Sudden Decline.

Mems expectations are so often disap'
pointed that everyone is ready to recog'
nige the truth Of the proverb that moth
ing is 80 likely TO happen as the unex'
nected. Those interested in the Northern
Pacific railroad have particular occasion
inst now TO feel the truth of this saying.
They have been awaiting the opening oil
the road as an event which was to boom
their stock instead of which 1t goes
down with frightful speed after the
golden spike is driven. a half million
or more of dollars were expended in a
free excursion, with abundant provisions
and liquors, at which the invited guests
were big bugs from all the world over.
They got across to Puget sound and
back again to the meeting point OF The
rails in the wilderness, through great
dangers and with hair breadth escapes.
The speeches which, had been prepared
and printed before their departure ana
left with the kind newspapers in the
East to print, were probably made
though they were not published. The
guests came home with full stomachs
and undepleted purses. And then some
wicked men began 10 sell down the
Northern Pacific stock. The blind
pool" that had sustained it seemed to
have exhausted its cash, and failed to
stand up before some other pool, not 50
blind, that sought to hammer its stock
just why the value of the road should
be less when it is completed the outside
public does not know nor does 1t COM
prehend the game of which the stock is
made the foot ball. 1t is true that the
road has cost more than it was estimated
to cost. 1t is true, again, that those
having il now in charge have shown
their lack of good judgment and reck.
lessness of expenditure in getting this
costly and silly grand free excursion,
when train full Of reporters would
have done the needed work great deal
better. II is true, also, that this long
and costly road passes through an unde'
veloped country, which is not yet pre-
pared to sustain it with its traffic. Still
these things do not of themselves &C
count for the sudden depreciation Of the
stock. The fact seems to be that there
is q lack OF courage, or cash, or both, on
the part of those who control the road
at present and that other people with
more dash and cash are after them to
oust them from their birthright 1t is
said that Mr.. Jay Gould is one of the
piratee, and the style of his game is such
as to make this probable.
