THE FREE PRESS
THE JOINT LEASE.

| The corporations Of this country are
forming into great devil fish, sucking
the life blood from the Industries of the
land. The three men, Henry Villard
Elijah Smith and Charles Francis Ad-
ans, who control the three transporta-
ton lines of the Columbia river basin,
can tax our industries by their mere
mandate. for their own personal advan-
tage, in way Congress could not at
tempt without producing a revolution.
They hold possession of our highways of
trade like the robber barons of old, and
upon the products of our industries levy
heavy contributions for their own emol-
ument. They apportion empires of ter
ritory among themselves for purposes of
traffic plunder. with the same easy
grace that Napoleon in the zenith of his
power disposed of conquered and pros
trate provinces. In the late division of
territory arrived at by these blood-suck-
ers the Clearwater country is bound
hand and foot and turned over to the
tender mercies of the o. r. 4 N. Co., the
most merciless and offensive corpora
ton which ever existed in the Pacific
northwest. These railroad kings as
they are called, have succeeded in plum
dering the producers as we'll as robbing
their stockholders. The millions Of
stock now held in the names of Willard,
Adams and Smith, are the profits of
theft, one-half being stolen from the
stock holders and the other half from
the producers. Why? Because the in
dividual stockholder is wiped out by the
ingenious process of watering stock.
The products and the industries OF the
land are taxed to pay interest on ficti.
tious debt which enables these railroad
barons to own and control these vast
and the country through
which they run. The joint lease is but
4 combination on the part of these
oarons to plunder the people.

AN ANCIENT INFANT

1t is instructive to note that at the very
time when we are told that the salt indus
try will be ruined" if the tariff reform
bill passes, Ithaca, N. y, has o salt well
from which it expects soon to manufacture
salt and send 1t abroad. The salt is to be
made by q new process and according to
the Ithaca Journal rep:
The product is pronounced equal in fine
ness, purity and flavor to the celebrated
Cheshire salt of Englsnd. and it is intend
ed to project it into the London market as
competitor with the Ashton and Hig-
gins brands for popular favor in that
country.
1t is not proposed to break prices or
enter into the suicidal cut rate business of
low priced common salt, although this can
be made and sold here cheaper than any
other point and still leave q margin. But
the growing demand for the best fine domes
tic salt in this and other countries icOuld
quickly absorb the output here.
An extensive importer of salt who has
become enthusiastic over Ithaca as q
natural salt center offered, yesterday, to
contract to take all the salt the factory
could yield, guaranteeing the company six
per cent. dividend on its capital stock the
first year, seven the second and eight the
third. Such q scheme would not be seri-
ously entertained for a moment for a GER
tainty of more than double this profit is
apparent on paper, but it eyinces the faith
OF well posted salt dealers in our adyant-
ages. 1t developed, yesterday, that there
was by actual demonstration enough salt
Ithaca to salt the world for a
century.
Ithaca is to be congratulated on the fact
hat its salt is to be pnt upon the tables Of
he old world. Since 1874 the tax on salt
las been eight cent hundred weight. |
from 1916 to 1861, the outbreak Of the
var, salt was on the free list, and New
FORK contemporary tells Us that during
hat period the production of salt on the
)nondaga, New York, reservation increas-
from 3, 961, 351 bushels in 1S47 to 2, O33,-
10 bushels 1858. Itreached Its maximum
reduction, 9,O53, s74 bushels in 1862, and
nder the benefcent operations of the war
arifr has been growing less ever since. 1t
lay have been knowledge Of some Of
hese facts and q prophetic intuition Of
Tiers which in 1871 induced Congressman,
ow Senator, EUGENE HALE, Of Maine, TO
ltroducs this bill:
On and after the passage Of this act salt
hall be placed on the free list and no fur
her customs imports shall be collected
,om the same.
The facts, too, may have induced that
.epublican House Of Representatives,
nth JAMES G. BLAINE, as its speaker, to
ass that bill by q vote of lat to AZ, the
otes for the bill including those of the
ties JAMES A. GARFIELD, the late VIII
IAN A. WHEELER, and the present
United States Senators HALE and FRYE,
( Maine, and DAWES and HoAR, Of
Massachusetts,.

The State Ticket.

tits less than three months before the con-
vention which dominates the officials who
will serve the State for the next four years,
meets at Huntington, and it is high time
that the press should enlighten the people as
to the merits of the different aspirants. As
the old usage of second term does not ap-
ply to the Governor, the head of the ticket is
the first to be considered. For that place this
important year, with its fierce national cam
paign, when our friends, the enemy, are
making ready to do or die, as die they will il
they don't succeed, and party, like an in.
dividual, will fight a hard battle against
death, aman should be selected who will not
stir up the old internecine war that has rob
bed the party of much vitality in the past; q
man who can poll the entire Democratic
strength; q man who, by reason of his high
qualifications, personal integrity and polit-
ical honesty, cannot only carry the Demo
cratic strength, but all independents and
lovers of good men and good government.
In the person of Judge Brooke Fleming, of
Marion, Democracy has such man. He is
not seeking the nomination, but it should be
given to him. Party fealty will cause him
to accept.
The time honored custom of Democracy,
giving to efficient officers second term is
a good one. It is q compliment to hon
esty and an incentive to thoroughness in
official life. 1t is wise custom, for If the
official has made q good public servant the
first time, he will make better one the
-.....a t;,,a nv raaaon of ex nerience It Ia
a rule of Democracy to serve the people
by giving them good administrations. This
is best accomplished by giving good men q
second term. No time in the history OF
this State is the usage more just, more
equitable and more expedient than now.

State snperintendent of Schools Morgan
and Attorney General Caldwell should be
rsnominated. II would not only be Just
to them but best for the party. Their
official acts have been above criticism, even
from Republican sources. Their personal
characters are excellent and the State
comes in for an equitable distribution Of
officers by such ticket. Every district
will be represented. 1t is the best ticket
that can possibly be nominated. 1t is
supported by every true reason, anIagon-
lied by none. This is, primarily, the
wear to look to party interests; to strength
en- not weaken the party; to practice
party fealty; to succeed.
