THE SIZE OF IT.

A Game Of Heads Win, Tails You
Lose-The Campaign OF '92.
Congressman Mills Mansfield, O.,
speech voiced the slogan for 1899 of the
Cleveland, Carlisle, Mills, Wall Street
& Co. wing of the democratic bosses.
Taking the recent democratic plat
form of the state of New York as q
basis for political representations, it is
plain that this big four gang is in it all
round, and that there will not be stand
ing room for democrats who favor free
coinage of silver in the next national
democratic convention. It will then be
in order for the democratic agricultural
states to surrender Internationally for
the good of the party-(Wall street,.
The republican bosses, twenty years
ago, irrevocably surrendered to Wall
street, and no one expects that organi-
cation to take the side of the people.
Recent developments, however, point
to the fact that the only issue between
the bosses is, who shall retain the con-
fidence and support of Wall and Lom-
bard streets and through them secure
the offices?
The Wall street denizens don't care a
fig whether we have free trade, or tariff
on manufactured goods, as long as they
control the volume of money, for when
you cut the tariff on goods they will
put up the protection on money. Their
games is strictly ''heads win, tails yot,
lose."- Southern Mercury.

ENGLISH 'LA,ND-EDAN.
An Important Measure That Passed the
English Parliament.

An Important Measure That Passed the
English Parliament.
In recent issue, says the Progress
sive Farmer, we spoke of the proposed
British 1and-loan to aid the tenant farm
ers of Ireland to purchase their farms
and free themselves from landlordism.
The advance thus speaks of the meas
ure:
Probably no more important meas
ure passed the English parliament,
which has just adjourned, than Mr..
Balfour's land purchase bill for Ire
land. It provides for the issuing by
the government of S165, 600, 900 of az
per cent bonds for buying out the
lands of the Irish landlords and sell
ing them to the tenants who wish to
purchase. The tenants will by pur-
chasing obtain for the first five years
reduction of twenty per cent. in their
rent. and after that reduction equal
to four per cent. of the purchase money.
A landlord, for example, agrees to sell,
at sixteen years purchase, tract of
land which is paying yearly rental
of $3.50. The government will give
him stock to the amount of s., 600 at 2X
per cent interest and the tenant will
obtain the ownership of the farm, sub
ject to a yearly payment of 5000 a year
for the FIRST five years, and after that
$3.50 for forty -four years. The extra $40
levied for the first five years goes to
form an insurance fund. After, that of
the $3.50 paid annually for forty-four
years, $l1O goes to pay the landlord,
$40 toward sinking fund to repay
capital and the remaining $40 is devoted
to local purposes principally to the
supply of laborers' dwellings, The
measure seems to be the beginning of
the settlement of the weary Irish land
disputes Though now fathered by the
tory government, it is practically the
same scheme which was originally pro-
posed by John Bright in 1870"

The political and social survey,
contained in the Progress of the
World" department of the Review
of Reviews for November, is unusually
comprehensive. 1t deals with pen
ding American political issues, and
gives portraits of Messrs. Hill, Platt,
Mckinley, Campbell, Pattison, Boies,
Wheeler and Russell. In a discus
sion of university and library pro-
gress and of American educational
philanthropy, are pictures OF Sena-
tor Stanford and President Jordan,
apropos OF the opening of the new
Leland Stamford University; of Mr..
Henry w. Sage, in connection with
the opening OF the magnificent new
Sage Library at Cornell University !;
of Mr.. w. F. Poole in the course OF
comments upon the progress of IL
braries and universities at Chicago;
of Mr.. Henry Greenwood in a discus
sion of the progress of libraries in
England, and Ex-President Hayes
accompanying illusions to the re-
cent meeting of the Prison Congress
at Pittsburg. This number of the
Review also contains excellent por-
traits of the following famous men
who have died during the past
month: The Right Honorable Will
lam Henry Smith, Mr.. Parnell, Gene
raj Boulanger and Herman Melville.
The enormous demand for the Re-
view of Reviews which exhausted an
extra large edition of the October
number within ten days of publica-
ton, and especially the large sale of
the railroad edition, has led to an
improvement which will doubtless
be welcomed by all it's readers. The
proportion of large type has been
greatly increased, and the November
number finds the medium and small
sizes OF type relegated to the twenty
or thirty last pages of the magazine.

Big Run, Pa, Oct. 81, 1891.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
In your last issue an article headed
Grain" is, from my point OF view, an
exceedingly valuable article. One OF
the great drawbacks to progress and
human happiness is that money, abil-
1 ty to defraud, and ignorance have
always been at a high premium, and
the principal requisites for getting
public office, while intelligence, honor,
and integrity have been alta discount.
For a practical illustration take the
congress which made the appropria-
ton for our worthy sehemer to exper-
iment with his rain-producing device;
one congressman managed to get an
allowance made just as a personal
favor-to crafty the desire of this
one congressman, to enable him to
help a personal friend! Just think
how wise and generous to make an
appropriation, not because they had
the intelligence or disposition to help
promote a scientific experiment and
blessing for mankind, which any
person of ordinary intelligence could
look upon only with favor. Those
wise, broad, and iberal-minded con-
gressmen of the 10Th century, Will
they not compare with that 18th
century council which met to consider
Columbus proposition to sail west?
What does this prove? Does it not
show conclusively that these states
men have spent their time in laying
schemes to promote their political
welfare or in the accumulation of
wealth with which to purchase it,
thereby keeping themselves in igno-
rance of progressive ideas and the
needs OF the people? Every utter
ance OF your article Rain" is a
thunderbolt which, if put into opera
ton, will strike terror to the present
stupid, fossilized politicians who are
clamoring for position and notoriety
and I am anxious to see the time
when the thinker will get to thief front.
Then, as you state, a new era will
dawn. Science in all it's branches will
take a grand stride forward. These
old fossils must be forever buried from
sight! They are really too stale for
relic hunters. 9
In my estimation there is nothing
so grand and ennobling as a man ad-
vanced in years and with changable,
progressive ideas, and nothing so de-
testable and disgusting as one of
these old, ignorant, stupid fossils,
who has not, neither can grasp, new
thought or a new idea. 1t is this class
that makes our load so heavy. The
principal thing that stays all pro-
gress is ignorance.
