Our Farm Land.

The editor Of the Faribanlt Republic
can talks his usual sound sense when he
says: The sterE logic Of events is at last
forcing upon our people the conviction
that to the policy pursued by the gov
eminent for many years is to be largely
attributed the evils under which the
farmer now suffers. The ruling idea
has been to settle up the country and
get rid of the government land in the
shortest possible time. The spirit Of
the old song, running, Uncle Sam is
rich enough to give you all a farm, .
was impressed by every possibieagency
upon the population of the east and
Europe. Land grant railroads have
been built reaching out into new coun-
try, not because any settlers existed
there to make the roads a necessity,
but that the roads might make money
by earning, and then booming the land
ALI of these influences have tended to
stimulate the development of the agri-
cultural or producing interests out of
proportion to that of the manufacturing
and commercial or consuming interests.
Nearly all of our desirable public lands
are now gone, but the greed of the
railroads and spectators is still insati-
able, and to crafty them congress has
just depleted the treasury to the extent
of several millions to obtain from the
Indians more land that we do not need,
and for what? Simply to open more
farms and throw upon the markets of
the world more of the great staples,
and bring down still further the price
of what the farmer has to sell In this
suicidal course the representatives of
the farmers of the northwest in congress
have borne their full share, and the
mass of the people have unthink1ngly
joined in landing these exhibitions of
craftsmanship. With wheat in Mime
sofa at SIS to Csc. bushel; corn in Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas at lie bushel,
and oats still lower, and the farms of
New England and the east becoming
depopulated in consequence of the ava
lanche of low priced agricultural pro-
ducts precipitated upon them from the
west, it is not strange that great
many agriculturalists are bordering the
question whether it would not have
been as we'll to nave left the new terri
tories to settlement by tie natural in
hux of immigration, without any arti6-
cial high pressure stimulus, and have
had greater prosperity IN the older
states in which the farming interest is
now being pressed TO the wall.

Milford items.

During the present mild weather our
farmers are occasionally talking about
commencing to sow but then again a
cold and frosty night banishes all such
thoughts from their minds. All that is
left for them to do is to wait till the
proper season arrives and meanwhile
get their implements ready for work
and lay in sufficient quantity of No. 1
seed grain.
II. }. Schroeder, wheat buyer at Es-
sig for the Lamberton Elevator Co., and

ing of join Essig, our former mer-
chant, and are now giving the interior a
