THE SIOUX LANDS.

Since the success of the negotiations
of the government commissioners with
the various bands of Sioux Indians in
inducing them to sell a large part OF
their reservations to the government the
matter has dropped out of public notice
in the East. 1t has not become unin-
teresting in the West, however. Here
are II 100000 acres, some of which is as
fine land as any in the world, to be
thrown open for settlement area
larger than the State of Massachusetts
an area out of which farms for 10000
families can be carved-an area much
larger than that of Oklahoma and much
of it better land. Intending settlers are
awaiting with great impatience for the
treaty that has been signed by the requis
ite three-fourths of the Sioux to receive
the ratification of Congress, and for the
proclamation of the President declaring
the lands to be opened. 1t may be that
this will not be done until next spring.
The remaining Indian lands in the
Dakotas are divided into six reserva-
tions: Standing Rock, Cheyenne River
Lower Brule, Crow Creek, Pine Ridge
and Rosebud. These are in sets of two
one at the northern end. one on the
eastern border and the other on the
southern edge of the Sioux Territory.
The relinquished lands are to be sole
to settlers for the first three years at tht
cost price-$1.25 per acre; after that fol
two years at IS cents, and the remaindel
at not less than so cents.
The opening of these lands will give
great impulse to South Dakota.

We can rely upon their honesty and

For six years Governor Foraker has
been one of the most prominent figures
in American politics.
Few men during that period have been
as much talked and written about and
generally celebrated as he.
When he was nominated to succeed
Governor Foster he had to face the
prejudice Of the liquor interest of the
state that felt itself outraged by the
enactment of the Pond, Smith and
Stubbs bills.
These laws defeated Governor Foster
in his senatorial, and Capt Foraker in
his gubernational aspirations. and put
the state into the hands of the Democ-
racy under Mr.. Hoadly.
Twice since then Capt. Foraker has
been nominated, and twice he has car
ried the s.ate by handsome majorities.
Now for the fourth time he is called
upon to lead the Ohio Republicans.
Capt. Foraker's career has been OF ex-
traordinary and illustrious interest from
tie dav when he, a beardless boy SOL
der, leaped over the intrenchments on
the top of Missionary Ridge, to this
dav. when he stands as the four-times
nominated candidate for the governor
ship of one of the leading political states
in the Union, and the third greatest IN
population and wealth.
This fourth nomination of Capt For
aker is a thing unprecedented in the
history of state party politics, and the
greatest possible tribute that could be
paid by his state to any man.
He has been at the head of Ohio Off
cial and political affairs for four yerrs,
and the condition of state affairs was
never better.
There have been no scandals in con-
nection with his administration of the
state government.
All the public institutions are in clean
and fourishing condition.
Institutions that were bankrupt under
Hoadly pay money into the state treas
ury under Foraker.
Under ordinary circumstances the
Ohio Republicans have chosen Capt.
Foraker for their candidate Tor gov.
ernor, and they have done well.
The Republicans who cannot march
in that procession can stand on the side
walk and see the procession march by tc
victory.
In all respects the Republicans have
done good work in the makeup of the
ticket

RAILWAY STATISTICS.

The Introduction to Poor's Manual of
Railroads for 1889 has just been issued.
It makes an exhibit of railroad traffic t.
the close of the year 1888. There were
on January in the United States 1885,,
OS2 miles of track, an increase of 7,02S
during the year. The increase for 1887
was 13,0S1, but construction during that
year was the greatest on record, and the
track laying in 1888 has only been sur
passed three or four times. Since 1865,
when the total mileage of our railroads
was only 35,085 miles, there have been
three perceptible waves of construction.
The first, beginning with LIZ miles in
1865, reached a maximum of 1879 miles
in 1871 and ebbed to l, III miles in 1875,
the panic of 1873 making the downward
scale. The tide then turned and con-
struction increased year by year till 1882,
when II, ,569 miles were built. CONNER
cial stress reduced the mileage to 2,930
in 1885, since which time it went up to
13.0S1 miles in 1887. This last squirt
in construction was due largely to the
fierce rivalry of the five or six great rail-
way systems west of Chicago in pushing
extensions into new fields.
The earnings for 1888 are not wholly
satisfactory. Total gross traffic earn
ings aggregated 1860, ,256, ,270, an increase
of SO, ,l05,56S over 1887, but net earn
ings were only 1901, ,631,05 a decrease
of $33 ,359,068 from 1887 This decrease
of net earnings is accounted for mainly
by the expensive strikes and rate wars
that were prevalent during the first half
of 1888.
Traffic has shown a marked increase
In 1882 there were moved 800, ,49O, ,375
tons of freight an average distance OF
1O9 miles, or 39,302, ,209,2 ,249 tons one
mile. In 1887, 552,074,752 tons were
hauled an average of Ill miles, or to-
tai of 61,561, ,069,996 tons one mile
while last year the tonnage reached
5S9, 1893, ,317, the average haul 119 miles
and the ton miles 70,423, ,003, 1888, an in
crease of over IA per cent. in one year
and 70 per cent. in six years. The rate
per ton to mile fell from 1.236 cents il
1882 to 1.034 in 1887, and .907 in 1888
Passengers carried in 1882 were 209,-
030, ,7S3, an average distance of 25 miles
42S,225, ,513 in 1897, an average distance
of "a miles, and 451 ,353,655 in 1888, al
average distance of "a miles. The ratt
per passenger per mile was 2.514 cent:
in 1882, 2276 in 1887, and 2.346 cent!
in 1888.

The Ohio Convention.

Nth 1AiOhhc-
1t is good to begin well, and that is
what the Ohio Republicans have done.
The ticket which was placed in the
field at Columbus is strong and popu-
lar; it will command the hearty support
of united party. The convention was
an earnest but good-natured one, and
its spirit will be the spirit of the cam
paign.
The denomination of Governor Fora
ker was tribute to his sturdy. uncom-
promising Republicanism, and to the
general satisfaction which is felt with
his good and faithful administration of
public affairs. The governor is not of
those who belongs to party "a little. -
He is strong in his devotion to Repub-
lican principles.
1t is largely because of his uncompro-
missing loyalty to these principles that
he enjoys to so large a degree the con-
fidence of his party friends. And even
those politically opposed to him must
concede that he has made an excellent
executive.
The last Democratic governor of Ohio
was Hoadly, and Hoadly retired from
office leaving good deal of the public
business in wretched condition. The
sinking fund during his term had been
treated as one of the sinking funds of our
own state was once treated while under
Democratic management was di-
verted from its legitimate use not to
say plundered. The Hoadly admins
tration also acquired bad eminence
because of the policy which it pursued
in regard to certain public institutions
1t was policy which turned them over
to politicians whose main purpose was
their own personal aggrandisement
Governor Foraker has Strengthened out
the state finances, removed the public
institutions from partisan control, and
met the best expectations all along the
line of his official duty.
The canvass in Ohio opens auspicious-
ly. 1t cannot fail to close successfully
if all the Ohio Republicans do their
whole duty from now on to election
day. They deserve to win, and the tide
is with them

Risen from the People.

Batavia, u. Courier.
Joseph B. Foraker appears before the
public as four-times candidate for the
office of governor. The fact alone is a
sufficient guarantee of his popularity-a
popularity based upon tangible and ma
terial ground. for the public is not a
fool, and rarely places its admiration
and affection upon an unworty object.
His record is before the people. 1t is
read in hundred trite sayings and has
been witnessed in the performance of
many brave, generous and timely trans
actions. He has risen from the people:
he has made his way from the bottom to
the top through sheer force and pluck,
honor and capability, and the good
sense to grasp the right handle at the
right time. His good judgement in the
conduct of his own affairs, as well as
those with which he has been entrusted
by the people, give his friends new con-
fidence in him, and fairly excites the adj
miration of his enemies. His history is
bright, and its yet unturned pages
promise something dazzling. We shall
have him for our next governor, and in
due time for our president,

AvINDICATIoN OF PROTECTION.

The Philadelphia Press thus takes
pert free trader over its knee and spanks
him:
"An anonymous correspondent sends US
the following:
"'It beats all creation, come to think
of it, that free trade England has mil
lions of money, in fact is overf1owing
with money, to invest in this country.
Have you thought of that?. Does it not
indicate excessive prosperity? Do you
not think you had better soak your head
and brush the cobwebs out of your eyes?
l think So
"Of course England has great surplus
wealth, but our anonymous fool friend
fails to remember or to reflect that Eng
land has been centuries accumulating
this surplus. He probably never learn
ed that England maintained the policy
of protection until less than fifty years
ago, and only abandoned it when she
found that she could not produce food
enough to support her own people
With her accumulated capital, her great
start, her low rate of interest, her cheap
labor and her limited agricultural re-
sources, it became her policy to import
her food and export her manufactures.
Even if free trade with her conditions
were the best policy for her, it would by
no means follow that it would be the
best policy for the United States, with
our different conditions.
i'Our smart Aleck of correspondent
seems to think he has made a cOnclu-
sive answer by pointing to the fact that
England has so much wealth to invest
here. But mark how plain truth shall
dispose of him. The United States fair
ly entered on the protective policy in
1861. The accumulated wealth of this
country then was about S16,000,000,0
that of England was about $30,000,000,-
600. At the end of twenty years of pro-
lection the wealth of the United States
had advanced to 100000, 100000; at the
end of 20 years of free trade the wealth
of England had advanced to $42, 2,000,-
100000. The United Sattes had out
stripped England, and the gain here
had been nearly 400 per cent, as against
40 per cent there.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
DO INCREASED RETURNS FOR LAND AND

DO INCREASED RETURNS FOR LAND AND
CAPITAL CONE OUT OF LABOR?
Somebody signing himself "B. D." re-
Gently sent card to the Times, drawing
a most unwarranted conclusion about the
effect of the tariff il increasing wages.
He begins by making this claim:
"The tariff does not enter into active
production and make something with
which to pay this increase; it only af-
fects distribution. Consequently, if any
factor in the production of wealth re-
ceives an increase by virtue of the tariff
it must tear it from some other factor in
the production. As, for an illustration,
if the product be 10 and land receives 5,
capital 3 and labor Il assume this
proportion, it isn't essential for the pur-
poses of this illustration that the estl-
mate should be accurate-if capital, by
the legerdemain of law, increases so that
it receives 4, either land, labor or both
must lose what capital gains. The pro-
tectionist, without going into details
claims that the tariff affects distribution
If this be true, then land, capital or both
do not give as large proportion in this
country as in England"
Then he refers to the fact that Eng
lish capitalists and English landlords are
investing in this country as proof that
two of the three factors in production
receive larger returns here than in Eng
land, and adds: ave have only labol
left, and it must pay land and capitals
increase. There is no other source from
which to pay it."
The fact is that the tariff does entel
into active production, because it causes
things to be produced here which would
otherwise not be produced, but imported
and paid for by sending something out o.
the country which, when they are pro
duced, remains in the country. 1t il
plain to any sane man that increased
production, which the tariff stimulates
can pay increased wages, and it is cas-.
to see why-namely, because new fac
tories make work and add to tn
workingman's chance for employment
The demand for labor increases, and tn
price goes up. There is no myster.
about it; it is just like the increased
price caused by the increased demanC
for other commodities. 1t is universe
rule, and there is no earthly reason VIII,
labor should be an exception to it.
The effort of "B. D." to iuggle witt
figures is so transparent as hardly to de
serve notice, and falls to the grount
when it is remembered the creation o
industries by protection does, of course
increase products. For if production i
increased, say, from 10 to IA it is en-
tirely possible for land to receive in
stead of 5, capital to receive instead o
4, and labor 4 instead of 2. The late T
Peshine Smith of this State, in a wor
on political economy published b
Henry Carey Baird & Sons of Philadel
phia, showed by actual statistics tina
while land and capital were receivin
larger actual returns than formerl
their percentage of the total returns {
production was diminishing and that {
labor increasing all the time, with tn
great increase of production caused b
advancing civilization.
