The reichstag has passed the new arms bill as
peace measure at Blsmarck's suggestion. Upon
the assurance OF the chancellor that neither
Russia nor France wishes 70 night, every German
Is 20 be armed as a further guarantee OF peace
All this Is In direct line with Bismarcks policy Of
keeping his neighbors quiet and respectful solely
by a constant show OF readiness and ability TO
strike back II struck The national spirit of the
Germans Is strong, and Bismarck knows how to
appealtot Every particle opposition TO the pro-
posed armament disappeared before his shrewd
speech Yet military burdens are already crush
ing the German people, and Bismarck's policy
Offers them only a steady increase Of this
incubus, as "a guarantee OF peace" until
war comes to furnish relief Germany viii
before long begin to hope for this inevitable
war. The nation Is not rich, its population
through emigration TO America Is dwindling year
by year, and a Bismarckian peace with It's burden
some guarantees will be found harder TO bear
than active hostilities Since the war with France
more than q million and q half OF Germans are
said TO have come TO this country. America can
have no complaint against the condition OF an airs
which gives IL 50 valuable addition to It's popu-
lation, barring the few scattered anarchists who
cannot properly be credited 70 any nation; but
American sympathy goes out TO the German people
In their Fatherland, TO whom the alleged prospect
OF peace causes only increase OF the burdens OF
war.

To THE EDIToR-Sr: / inclose n clipping
from the Malvern Leader, with extracts said to
be from California papers The ones / wish to
call your especial attention to are credited to
the Call and Post of San Francisco. Did HAIR
RIsoN ever introduce a bill to exclude the
Chinese? j. J.. HUGHES.
White Cloud, Ia Sept. 9.
No, he never did. On the contrary, he
cast fourteen votes in the L. S. senate in
favor of the Chinese. He voted against
prohibiting their naturalization. He voted
against the restriction bill which Presi-
dent ARTHUR vetoed. He voted to sus-
tain the veto. He voted against the bill
which President ARTHUR consented to
sign. He was the most ultra pro-Chinese
man in the senate, excepting, possibly,
HoAR and HAwLEY. At this time the
Chinese government had withdrawn all
objections to restrictive legislation. So
HARRISON went farther than the Pekin
mandarins themselves in behalf of the
coolies. Chinese voters, illegally natural
lied in Indianapolis, helped send him to
the senate. Both the San Francisco pa
pers from which the extracts sent us 10y
our correspondent are taken denounced
HARRISON savagely for his course at the
time, and declared when the Chicago con-
vention was in session that if nominated
he would lose, and would deserve to lose
the Pacific coast.

A Vast Empire Reclaimed.

To THE EDIToP-Sir: Please inform the
public through your valuable daily what the
present administration has done toward re-
claiming the public domain, given by reDub-
iican administrations 10 monopolies and pet
republican schemes upon conditions that have
never been performed. THOMAS j. STUDY.
Richmond, Ind, Sept. IS.
We have printed the facts repeatedly,
but they are so important, so grandly sig
niicant, they reflect so much glory upon
President CLEVELAND and the democratic
party. that they will bear frequent repeti-
ton. The people ought to know what
President CLEVELAND and the democratic
party have done for them in recovering
for their use great empire, bestowed by
the republican party upon corporations
and sought TO be retained by the latter,
and with the connivance of the repub-
lican party, in violation of law, justice and
decency.
Between 1851 and 1872 congress granted
to private corporations and TO individuals
$685. 44.S3 acres of the public domain
almost equal to tho combined area of
the thirteen original states.
For years this wholesale despoilment Of
the peoples heritage was openly and sys-
tematicallv practiced, and the commits
sioner OF the general land Office, in his
annual report OF 1885, states that at that
date four-ffths OF our public lands had
been disposed Of, and the remaining one
fifth, only moiety, was fit for human
habition.
But when GROVER CLEVELAND became
president in 1885 n halt was called on the
land grabbers. II was resolved that Gland
grabbing" in all its forms should cease
that the "land shark" should disgorge his
plumber that all fraudulent acquisitions
OF our public lands should stop; that the
laws governing the disposition OF our pub
lie lands should be rigidly and vigorously
enforced, and that all claims to our re-
naming lands, whether by powerful syn
dicates or by individuals, should be labori-
ously scrutinized in the light of the law
and the facts, and only allowed where
clearly established.
This program has been faithfully carried
out and a statement recently issued from
the general land Office makes the follow
ing exhibit covering the period OF DIR.
CLEvELAxD's administration:
Lands reclaimed and actually restored TO

PRICES or WOOL IN JANUARY.

We have not verified these figures and
do not vOuch for their accuracy. But we
wish to call the attention of our high tariff
friend, Mr.. GEORGE MERRITT, to the fact that
his party associates are scattering over the
country a document giving as reason
why the duty on wool should be retained
that wool brings higher prices when it is
free, or very slightly taxed, than
it does when it is heavily pro-
tected. We also invite the atten-
ton of the farmers of the country
to this republican argument against free
wool. What do they think of it? And
what do they think of the logic which
maintains that high duties upon aoool. by
stimulating the industry, hare ARRAYS PIT
dorm the prices oftbe staple 'rhjIe lolO duties
hare ARRAYS ddrdnced the prices.
The Manufacturers club of Philadelphia
is unquestionably right when it tells the
American farmer that domestic wool has,
in the past, commanded better price
when it was not protected" than when it
was. But it insults common sense when
it asks him to believe that a high duty
stimulates an industry by putting down the
price of its product, and that low duties
destroy it by advancing the price. If this
were true everyone outside of a lunatic
asylum would rather have his business
destroyed than stimulated.
We have read many of the monopoly
documents in this campaign, but have
seen mono that equals this in point of
downright idiccv. We intend to preserve
it as a curiosity in campaign literature.
1t is entitled "The American Market Be-
longs to Americans-Free Raw Materials
Some Questions Answered Respecting
Their Relation to American Industry"
We advise our readers to send TO CHARLES
HEBER CLARK, secretary OF the ''Manufact-
urers' club" of Philadelphia for copy oft.
And we think it would be a clever idea if
the democratic committee were to send
out a few thousand copies of it to the
farmers of the country, inviting their
especial attention TO the paragraphs show
ing that wool brings better prices when it
is on the free list than when il is heavily
protected

Potatoes and the Mills Bill.

Republican stump speakers and news
papers are telling tho farmers of Indiana
that the Mills bill puts potatoes in the free
list. The Mills bill does nothing of the
kind. The duty of fifteen cents bushcl
on potatoes remains unchanged. The bill
does not mention potatoes, and all articles
not mentioned in the bill remain as at
present. This is provided for by sec. Al,
which says:
That this net is intended and shall be con-
strued as an act supplementary and amend
atory to existing laws, and the rates OF duty
and modification of clauses, provisions and sec
tions as herein specifically made are intended
and shall be construed as q repeal of all
clauses provisions and sections in conflict here
inwith; bta as 10 all clauses provisions and sec
tOns la eCiStinG lars NOT HEREIN sPECIFICAL-
LY CHANGED MODIFIED OR AMENDED, THE
RATES of DUTY NOW EXISTING SHALL BE, AND
REMAIN, IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
The free list of the Mills bill contains
these words:
Vegetables in their natural state, or in salt or
brine, not specially enumerated or provided
for.
Potatoes are specially enumerated in
the existing law, which, as provided in
sec. Al above quoted, remains in force ex-
