HOW PEOPLE DRIFT AROUND.

The Philadelphia Press maintains
that there must be returning tide
of emigration to repeople the East
after the Western government lands
are all taken up. The young farm.
ing element Of the East has been
going West for years, the old die
off, and foreign emigration has been
west or to the manufacturing centres.
So that much available land remains
uncultivated IN all the Eastern
States,-land that will bring rich
harvests, is close to markets, sur
rounded by all the advantages of
towns, cities, railroads, &C., and can
be purchased very cheap. The
South is getting every year larger
portion of Northern and Eastern
capital and Emigration. 1t is esti-
mated that of the 100000 acres of
land IN Vermont at least 200, 900 that
had been under the pillow are now ~.
ing idle and uncultivated. This has
not followed because the land is
exhausted and good crops can not
be obtained for the labor. Several
causes have brought about this situa-
ton, and chief among them is the
passion to possess the fertile prairie
lands of the West. This has drained
the state of its younger farming
blood, which has gone largely to
build up the Northwest and the
Pacific slope. 1t is claimed that
there are 100000 people born in
Vermont and now living in this
country outside that state, while the
population Of the state itself was
only 332, 1856 in 1880,

Whenever the Sentinel talks tariff
it puts It's foot in it. Last week it
says:
"The tariff on sugar averages
over two cents q pound. 1t was the
same year ago. Then sugar sold
for three certs q pound less than ii
does now. The sugar trust brought
about the increase in prices. With.
out protective tariff there could be
no sugar trust. The farmer that
votes for protection merely votes to
increase his own cost of living"
Who voted to keep the tariff on
sugar? The Democrats in Congress
led by Mills & Co. Why? Because
it is Southern prouduct. Has SUI.
gar gone up in the Old World and
Free Trade countries also? Yes,
just as in the United States. Why
Because there is a world wide trust
in sugar, manipulated by foreign
capital. But there can be no trusts
where. there is no tariff, can there ?
Yes, my son, there can be and there
are.
And again the Sentinel indulges i'll
infantilc talk when it says:
"The farmer who one year age
bought fifteen pounds of sugar fol-
one dollar, and now gets ten pounds
OF the same kind for a dollar, knows
what his ballot went in for when he
voted for protection under the broad
shield of American law
Does the Sentinel mean to say
that the Democratic party is fol-
| free sugarg If so, why does it not
vote that way. Sugar is higher IN
England than a year ago. Did Free
Trade do that
