Are the American i.eo:ie, and es-
pecially t;.c farmers, no:ed as being
discontcnted, as agitators or as being
dissatisfied with any reasonable thing?
History has recorded car population as
t.ciag sober AMI industrious It must
have been so, else how could We have
made suyh wonderful adavuces il
wealth Ard dcvelopea.eut. Turbulent
Dissatisfied aud disconnected people do
not advance in material prosperity as
do the more sober and industrious, Tor
the reason that dissatisfaction engend-
ers idleness.
Whatever VIC may have been in the
past. the conditions that produced con-
tentment thea, have been changed, OF
rather, the complicated results arising
from taking advantage of these condi-
tions, has made large portion of our
population discontentcd.
If naturally, we arc sober and in
dustrious people, it is self-evident that
there must be causes of moment to
make us dissatisfied. No one ques-
tions that this discomfort Is here, but
the dividing line is regarding its caus-
es or whether or not there be cause.
The republican party asserts that the
discomfort is without rcason-that con-
dit,ous cannot be made more favorable
for prosperity. 1t has shaped the pol
icies now in practice and it believes
they should remain in force. 1t had
absolute power in the last congress to
shape national Legislation, and it took
full advantage Of its opportunity. 1t
raised the tariff and refused to give US
free coinage. Hence it must believe
that there is no cause for dissatlsfact-
ion.
The democratic party thinks there
is cause, or rather, q portion OF it
thinks so, but all possibility Of it re-
moving the cause has faded into the
remote distance, because it is divided
against itself.
The peoples party alone, offers an
adequate remedy for the existing
troubles, and its members are united
and harmonious.

graphs and railroads of the county.
that '!priyatc enterprise viii afford
service far superior to that which man
a2efnent FOR the people, and BIZ the
people would give to the people. It's
well known that the telegraph and
railroad kings are living lives of self
abnegation-that their own interests
are invariably sidetracked for the pub
lie welfare. 1t would indeed be sad
dening to them, to see the people rush
headlong to their destruction, by naa-
ageing their own affairs. But glance
at history and things AS they are 1T
present, ought to set the minds IF
these dear, selfappointed conserya.ors
Of the public veal at ease. Did they
ever consider that vIateycr the Unit
ed States las undertaken iia.; been a
mere marked success than .'private
enterprise has ever made il, or ever
could make? Dyes any oEe suppose
for moment, that with our postal aft
airs III the hands of money getting iu
dividuals, the service would by this
time, have reached the present stage
Of dcveIopemcnt? Do you, dear read
er, believe that the letter which you
can send to any part OF the United
States or Canada for two cents. could
ever be sent Out of yolr owH state FOR
that sux if 'indiyidual enterprise
had been depended on to manage this
importand branch OF public service.
And what would 1t have cost you to
send letter from New England to
California? Besides, who would be
willing to trust to private enterprise
the matter which he now sends conf.
IDENTIFY and safely through the mails?
Since 1888 letter postage has been re-
duced two thirds. Then it cost three
cents tc send a letter weighing ore
half ounce; now it costs you two cents
to send one ounce.
But why draw comparisons bctyTcen
government postal service and sovern-
ment railroad service? The Eeasibil::-
ty Of government ownership Of rail
roads has already been established. In
Hungary the government Is making
money bv carrying passengers and
freight at less than fifth of the cost
under private enterprise arrangement
A like experiment Is to be found in an
Australian colony. The expense Of
parallel lines is cut off and the lives Of
the travelling public carefully protect

DESTRUCTION OF OUR FOR
ESTS.

Each recurring spring and summer
brings accounts Of the burning of i'm
mense tracts of forests in the northern
states. This year is no exception to
the rule, and reports come of large dis
tricts being devastated by fires.
This tremendous waste of orc Of the
most valuable of our products, is usu-
ally followed by discussions of scient-
lists, regarding the effect on climate,
the possibility of the timber supply be-
coming exhausted, and by newspaper
articles deploring this terrible destruct-
ion. Then the matter is dropped un-
til the next spring, when it is brought
to mind by repetition of the disas-
ter.
No practical and united effort Is
made to prevent the fires, until they
have gone beyond the power Of control.
Millions, nay billions of feet of timber
are annually consumed, leaving bleak
and barren wastes where once vegeta-
tion thriyed in its grandest form.
In recent interview, a northwest
ern senator, owner of many thousands
of acres Of timber land, pooh-poohed
the idea of our forest being extermin-
ated for years, and stated that enough
timber was standing on his estate to
build fences around the world dozen
times.
Possibly there is no danger of the
supply becoming exhausted, but We
owe it to future generations to pre-
serve the surplus for their use. Ma
ture has given US with lavish hand,
all the products of land and water that
can contribute to our desires, but that
is no reason why we should wantonly
waste them. Indeed, it is our duty to
carefully preserve whatever portion is
not necessary-to our comfort and well
fare, and it is a solemn obligation we
cannot conscientiously escape, to take
measures looking to the prevention of
further destruction of our forests.

Was Abraham Lincoln true or
false prophet when he said: II see in
the near future crisis arising which
unnervcs me, and causes me to trem-
bic for the safety Of my country. As
a result of the war, corporations have
been enthr1ned, and an era of corrupt
ion in high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will at
tempt to prolong its reign by attempt
ing to work on the prejudices of the
people until all the wealth is aggregat-
ed in few hands and the republic is
destroyed. l feel at this time, more
anxiety for the safety of my country
than ever before, even in the midst Of
war. God grant that my fears may
prove groundless. 1t was the power
of Wall street which President Lin
coin feared. But how much more pow
erful are the money manipulators OF
New York to-day than they we're in the
great war presidents time! Lincoln
beheld Stewart taking advantage of
the war and making millions out of 1t.
He saw other lesser ones turning the
nations misfortunes and peril to their
private gain, taking advantage of the
nations need and purchasing govern
ment bonds at almost their own fig
ures. If Lincoln could speak today,
would he not be able to pronounce with
the assurance of prophet whose pre-
dictions in a measure have come true,
and with almost certainty that the
remainder Of the prophecy will be full
filled.--American Farm News.

President Polk, of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial I'm
Ion, in mastery address before the
Ohio state convention of his organiza-
ton at Columbus, two weeks ago, pre-
sented some facts which are worth re.
peating here. Never before, said he,
have the cities and great corporations
prospered as today; never before have
there been such opportunities for
grasping colossal fortunes; never before
has agriculture been in such languish-
ing condition. In 1850 the farmers
owned 20 per cent of the wealth of the
country; in 1850 they owned 50 per
cent; in 1880 they owned 33 per cent,
and today they own less than % per
cent. Little over quarter of a CEN
tury ago, there were only two or three
millionaires in this country. but now
they are counted by the thousand.
One half of the wealth of the :oun-
try, said Mr.. Polk, is owned by 81, 900
people, and the census statistics show
that there is a mortgage for every sew
en- persons in the United States-near-
ly one for every family in the country,
on an average.
To the advice from some Of the
prosperous classes, that the farmer
should "work harder and live closer"
the Alliance president said the very
men who gave this advice, would, in
three short months pay more out on
his family at some fashionable water
ing place, than the average farmer ex-
pends on his family in thirteen years.
To the arga.acn; that the law of sup-
ply aH'i demand is responsible for the
depressed prices OF farm. products. it
is sufficient tn answer that less per cap
ita j. pro.iucc,l thaa when prices wrrc
much better. The cry of over pro
duction was equally hollow. Add two
and one fourth pounds of wheat to
what each person consumes, and not a
bushel will be exported. And then
there are in this country 5000, 900
of tramps and 5,OO0,0 900 who are eth
er starving or IN want Of 'sproper nu-
triton" as the statistical authorities
mildly put it. ''Overproduction''

Not even the opposition questions
the fact that President Harrison has
risen several notches in the estimation
of the American people through the
speeches he made during his recent
tour. But even his friends must ad-
NIT that the cartoons and articles
which appear in the papers in which
the son of the president is interested
wherein frantic efforts are made to dis
suade the public mind of the belief
that the president, and not Blaine is re-
sponsible FOR the reciprocity policy and
the letters to the italian government,
are ill-timcd, discourteous and false.
The world has seldom failed to distin-
guish the work of one man from thai
of another, and the world will not fail
to do so in this instance. Blaine has
always been the idol of the republican
party and Harrison cannot supplant
him, even though his son had cen.
sorship on the whole republican press.

In the Botkin impeachment trial,

In the Botkin impeachment trial,
one witness testified that the iudgedrank
merely as courtesy to his friends.
That the judge realized the Importance
of courtesy, is shown by the fact that
he usually consumed a pint at a time
This careful observance of the prac
tices which tend to smooth intercourse
will commend itself to those who ap-
preciate character, given to consid
ering the rights ANA privileges of 9th
ers. If the jndge drank, merely as a
courtesy to his friends, it is the more
praisewo:thy that he drank heartily.

pint Of whiskeY, merely as an act of
courtesy, carries with ii the guarantee
of sincerity. Had the Judge merely
slipped the beverage in hesitating or
halting manner, the evidence of the
witness would have been without
weight, as the elements of courtesy
would have been wanting. But when
q pint is consumed as a sacrifice at the
alter of this pleasing characteristic,
the conclusion is irresistible that the
judge intended being courteous to his
friends, even though a whole distill-
ery is consumed to establish the fact.
