Among the items which have added TO
the aggregate Of our national wealth since
1860 is new farming land. The increase
of improved land in the twenty years end
ing in 1860 was about 1870 100000 acres.
Most of this ground, in 1860 was what is
known as government land" the extreme
valuation of which was 81 p per acre.
Nearly all of it was what now are great
grain growing districts, and its average
valuation is now not far from 800 per
acre, for nearly all of it was located"
near new railroad lines. One hundred and
twenty million acres at 800 per acre
would account TOR two fifths Of the increase
of wealth which Mr. Bl.i:e claims for the
twenty years alluded To. Protection did
nothing whatever to stimulate this won

protection cause the enhanced value of
Older farming lands, which has . en- par

The following letter from G. w. McCune,
president of the BuffAlo Carrier company,
which explains itself, is of vital interest
just now, as it completely demolishes the
SCI ndalous lies which have been paraded
for several days by the Blaine organs with
shameless indecency. 1t is in ans yer to
private letter sent from Chicago
BUFFALO, n Y, July 27.-DEAR SIR: Yours
of the oath inst received, and we thank You
behalf. With reference to the reports abont
Gov. Cleveland, you can say, and you will tell
the positive truth every time you say it, that
the story over Rev" Btll's signature, and
the other reports about Ceveland's immortality
are absolutely false. The 'R-v." Ball was an
ardent supporter of Cleveland during the Cub
ernatorial campaign and was paid for his work.
We understand, however, that he was disap-
pointed about some position, hence the "fop'
and dirty work unbecoming Of any man. whe-
Their he wears the cloth or not. REV" B.lps
article has weight in this place, where he is
known. The story as published is false, abso-
lutely so, and will he met in due time CIeve
land will carry Bufflo by 8, 600 or S, 900 ma
jority, and New York State by at least %, 900
and in all probability considerable more. He
is a man " hose social or public life has never
been married TO prevent his as>ociatng with
and having the confidence of the best people in
Buffalo. And if elected which he surely will
be, the United States will have an upright,

DIR. VIM. Il. Wilmer has made desper
ate, but rather i'll timed and uagraceful
effort to get himself on record" in such
way as to curry favor with the possible
Republican administration. After exert
ing himself to tho utmt st TO defeat Blaine
for the nomination and angriIy heading
An implacable opposition of this county's
solitary delegation in the district conven-
ton, he now seeks to get on board the
Blaine train by writing a published letter
to Mr.. Hart b. Holton, for the ostensible
purpose of encouraging him to make the
race for Congress, in which he indu ges
in a profusoR of hattery and adulation
of the Plume Knight which is any
thing but consistent with the views the
Doctor expressed of the Maine politician
prior TO the recent nomination and to
that OF four years ago. The astute and
prudent doctor claims that he has arrived
at his present conclusions in a great meas
we by> a careful examination of the
Humed knights" book H remarks
with well feigned enthusiasm, that he is
now convinced that his book his platform
and his life record present him as a
splendid type of American genius. In his
oaon ~ords, as applied to a distinguish, d
American, reading has made him full
man, talking a ready man and writing an
exact man." Passing by the sudden
change which has come over the spirit of
the doctors dreams with regard to this
type of American genius" it appears
rather remarkable that so good literary
scholar as the doctor is known to lie should
accredit to the "Plumed Knight" as his o,cn
,oords the sentence which he plaglarized
literally without quotation poin's,
trom the writings of Lord Bacon.
We feel sure that the penitential doctor
did not mean to he sarcastic and call at
tent ion to the fact that this Esp endid type
of American genius" is literary, as well
as pecuniary thief Doubtless he has been
so much worried with politics of late as
not to detect the theft to which he SO un-
happily referred.
But we fear, alas, that the doctors sick
ly AID ill-timsd adulafion will be in vain
Mr.. Blaine is known to have determined
the lamented Garfield not to recognize in
the distribution of his patronage "any per,
son who had anything to do with the fraud
u tent manipulation of the convention at
Frederick" in 1890. Dr.. Wilmer was spot
Ted as one of the chief m ,nipu ators on that
occasion, and it has only been through the
"lottery of assassination" that he has kept
his nose to the crib 1t is prob .ble, there
fore, we fear, that, in the possible event of
Mr.. Blaine's installation in the presiden
tial office, when the doctor comes forward
with well preserved copy Of his letter as
his credentials to a continued holding of
his present office, that, alter reminding
him of his former misdeeds, carefully re-
membered, the ''Plumed Knight" will find
his answer in another plagiarism from
Pope:
