The newspapers of this state are
generally beginning to call the atten.
ton of such residents of foreign birth
as have bought land in Illinois but
have not taken out papers Of naturali-
tion to a statute Of the legislature of
Illinois, passed in 1887, according to
which, after July lst, 1887, such aliens
cannot hold real estate in this state.
The statute was aimed against Soul
ly and some other foreigners who were
gobbling large tracts of land in the
state, but is of general application and
may hit many who have no suspicion
of the danger they are in of losing their
possessions. The safest way for such
persons is to lose no time in taking out
naturalization papers, or selling out,
as Il title obtained from such an alien
is by the statute made valid

Agriculture furnishes siX-tenths Of

products Of agriculture exported to
Europe and sold in free trade mar

this country. 1t is our beef, pork, cot

which have brought back government
securities and railroad bonds from
Europe by the hundreds of millions
and thus reduced our foreign indebt-

country, while the high protected in
dustries have done nothing but take
toll from the farmers. We export an
nually from 5000, 900 to 500, 900,
GOO worth Of farm products, and less
than Sl6,00O,0O0 of manufactured
products. The farmers add s44 to the
national wealth where our fostered
mOnopolies add -.
The farmers are relied on as a source
Of national wealth; they alone are cy-
pected to compete in foreign markets
on free trade basis and save a bal
ance Of trade for the United States,
while at the same time they are sys-
temetically overcharged or gouged in
their home market for everything they
buy or sell.
Articles sold into home market
bring no wealth into the country.
Only those that are shipped out and
are sold to other nations do. A home
market leads to pOverty-a foreign
market TO wealth. Our manufactur-
ers sell nothing abroad and bring
nothing in. The farmers sell abroad,
bring in wealth and pay it over to
trusts and monOpolies. 1t is plain to
see why the farmer is growing poorer
and the manufacturers richer.
