relations BY sportsmen and others upon
the National Park. He is furthermore ad-
vised that the general arrangement Of the

stock from home where they have
Just as good range and pay nothing,
for the privilege Of grazing out on
the strip and pay us an enormous
sum for tho use of that country for
Just their own cattle. The best
thing we can do with that land is
TO let the lease expire by law and
lease it to the cattleme en- for more,
for if we passed law TO settle it
we have not got the citizens. The
great cry about this coun-
try is that we have got
too much country lying out,
and that we do not farm enough.
We are doing better than almost
any other nation Of people, if we
would Just consider our advantage.
The wealth Is more generally diff
fused hero-than anywhere in the
states. IL cannot become concen-
trated under the existing laws. We
all have a home of our own and
there is no law that can take IT
from us. II is not so in the states.
There are hundreds of hard-work-
ing and honest men there who do
not own a foot OF land, and never
will, simply because of the extof-
ton OF capitalists, and the govern
mental tax is so great that it is
impossible for them to ever rise.
We do not owe the government
anything and this so-called 1884,
600 debt is Just a scheme to get the
people excited so rs to loose sight
of their just rights and to have the
money we get from those cattlemen
appropriated to pay this so-called
debt and those that are into it will
make n divide.
There is another measure our
people should look after. They
propose TO pass a law allowing a
citizen to lease his farm as long as
he desires to, and to allow his
renter to keep two or three hun
dred head of cattle by paying tsX
on them. Now we know that a
man with n large herd of cattle
would not desire TO get where the
country is all fenced up. As a
consequence very little farming
would be done but the country
would be overrun with cattle, and
we would have about the same
scene enacted here rs the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes had.
