L1ND GRlNT HISTORY.
nE DIAMOND Dull,

Editor THE DIAMOND DRILL,
DEAR SIR Since MIR. Redington spoke
here last week | have taken pains 60
look up the matter of land grants,
and must say that am more than as-
tonished had been led to believe that
the Republican party was guilty OF all
the land stealing in the country, but
find the contrary Co bc the inct | find
that as early ns James Monroc's second
term, i'm 1922, that thousands of ncreS
were granted 90 the state OF Illinois 10
build canals and this wis followed by
another grant for the same purpose ia
1927. In Franklin Pierces administra-
tion, or rather during the last two yenirs
Of IL. find that the democratic party
made forty-aeven grants 10 railroads
amounting To- over 3O,OOO,O0u acres.
and for which there was withdrawn from
market 2O7 ,oO0, 900 acres. These grants
embraced large portions of the western
states and territories, about two-thirds
of the state oi Iowa being thus granted
away.
When we take into consideration thDt
up to and including June 30, 1887, only
49,745,7lJ acres have been given 10
railroad corporations, that Is certified
10 them we cnn easily conceive of the
baseless foundation the democrats have
for accusing Republicans OF the whole
sale granting away oi the public lands.
These ARE not the only grants that chn
be laid To the democratic door They
are mere lagatele when compared 20
the enormous grants oi swamp lands to
states fOrinternal improvements. These
latter figure up TO II ,407 ,2Ti acres, "a
territory larger than the New England
states aud New York combined. And
yet they raise the cry that the Republican
ii away 10 railroad corporations. II is
clearly a cnse of raising the cry Of "rtop
thicfn Go enable them the more easily TO
escape detection themselves.
| lind thnt the most of the so-caled
grants of the Republican party were
merely acts changing the original grants
10 the successors 81 the oIiginalgrantees
In the majority of cases the original
grantees were railroad COMPANIES, oii
paper only. who held their grants only
until they could sell out at "a large profit
To responsible parties The democratic
claim the credit for iorfciting and restor-
Jug lands To settlement are equally friy-.
olous. They have not restored one acre
of land unless iswns to carry out previ.
ous legislation of the Republican pnrty,
or the decree of some United states court.
hence, they are not entitled 20 one iots,
of credit. Even In the Marquette
HoughtOn 4 OntOnagCn indemnity lands
they only opened them 90 settlement
after the rlliIrOad. through It's attorney
w. l.. Henly, had withdrawn its claim
thereto. In the common limits ~ the
Ont0nngou * Brule railroad grant, the
democratic party only restored them to
market after the company concluded IL
had no claim thereto.

IRREDEEM1BLE FREE TRADE
pro NISES

The free trade attorneys are proiuse
with promises OF benefits to follow adop-
tion OF their pet policy. Among Others
they give especial prominence TO the as
sertion, that when our tariff ~ abolished,
the trade of this country will reach into
all those foreign markets whose trade X
worth looking after.
Leaving aside the question of cheap
production, which can not be brought
about with seriously affecting the price
of the labor involved, there IL another
obstacle which advocates of the British
policy seem Go ignore, !. e., the tariff reg
ulations of foreign nations-for II must
be remembered that most of them,
equally with the United States, have
found IL advisable To protect their citi-
zens against the competition Of rival
producers. Within the present year
Germany has raised the tariff on foreign
wheat TO a point which practically eN-
cludes the American article from com
petition with the prod ucts of German
farms She Is quite az likely TO protect
her other industries with an increase oi
existing duties, whenever there seems
necessity for SO doing. IL IS to just this
policy ON the part OF intelligent nations
OF defending their own labor and capital,
increasing with each year, that a recent
chief cause of depression in British
trade.
Mr.. Henry Fawcett, NJ. r., free trade
writer, in his work on "Free Trade and
Protection" asserts the "The tariffs OF
almost every European country, since
1877, have all become more protective,
including Germany. Austria, Russia,
Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece" :"
During the present year, Sweden and
New Zealand have been added to the list
of nations once supplied by England with
manufactured articles nt prices cheaper
than they could be made at home" but
which have been found quite too dear
for all that.
England finds the markets of the world
growing smaller for her, and, according
10 recent reports, nearly a million al her
worlsingnen who have depended ON other
nationsfor consumers OF the products of
1 English manufactures, aru now idle. The
markets thus closed TO England, in spite
81 her diplomacy and lcss reputable .cN-
ertions, are not likely to be opened to
/ the United states without concessions IN
/ prices of cur products TO which ourwork-
/ ingmen onght not and VIII not assent.
/ The only market we can certainly con
\ trol is our own, and this from the fact ui
/ being the best in the world, should be
most jealously guarded against the en-
croachments in the interests uf foreign
: rivals. II outside markets really offered
4 the rich reward That free trade advo-
Gates hold mp before the eyes of American
( voters. IL is quite safe 60 conclude that
those foreigners i'm whose interest free
trade is urged would be less persistent ia
their efforts 90 get "A hold upon the trade

Then we come TO his record as president
81 the United States and what do we
find? We are almost ashamed 20 ack-
nowledge that a man who has been
elevated 10 the highest rank In this coun-
try by his fellow-man could be guilty OF
such gross injustice 20 those who 80
elevated him. But the same is true Of all
egotists; everywhere we have seen men
who have been raised 20 positions uf
prominence, turn their backs upon those
who helped them up, hutseldom isit that
we see a man who will try TO crush those
TO whum~he is so indebtedfor assistance.
Such, however, has been the conduct OF
Cleveland. During the closing hours of
the fOrty-ninth congress "A bill was passed
providing that thereafter mo- convict la
bor should be employed ON any OF the
works of the United States, and that NO
material upon which convict labor had
been employed in DEMONSTRATION, should
be used in any OF the public works, build
ngs or ships OF the United states This
bin President Cleveland put in his pocket,
aud kept there until congress adjourned
period OF three days. Had ten days oi
the session expired before adjournment,
il would have become a law without his
signature, hence, his act was az clearly a
veto as IL lac had actually returned il
without his isapproval. Notwithstanding
the fact that he knew that the laborers
OF the country were opposed To such a
course, he, through his commissioners oi
Indian affairs, recently purchased 400
wagons for the Indians, all OF which were
mostly made hy convict labor.
He also vetoed the bill establishing a
department of labor, and making the
secretary thereof cabinet officer. This
was a bill that the Knights ofLahor had
long contended for, and one which the
hbOrcIs of the country were entitled to-
