scarcely any public lands in Missouri
worth the having. Maj. Warner says
there are still more than !, 200, 900 acres
of public land in Missouri now subject
to entry, which he affirms is one-third
more than there is now left in the state
OF Kansas. That is true. But Maj.
Warner knows perfectly well that these
are rough hill and mountain lands,
wholly untitled to agriculture; and
Mai. Warner knows there are no such
hills and mountains in Kansas, Iowa or
Illinois as we have in Missouri. Iassert,
without fear of contradiction, that the
United States do not own ten acres of
arabic land in this state. If SO, where
is the land? No, sir. the title to all
lands of any substantial value in this
state had passed from the government
to private holdings before 1870. There
40 lands here open to homestead
or pre-e,nrtion. Those who obtained
them We're compelled to buy them. This
fact very naturally took many people
across Missouri to Kansas and other
western states. For reasons such as
these, say it is unfair to compare the
growth of Missouri, at least by per cents.
to the new and wholly undeve1oped
public land states to the west of her.
In the third place it is rarely ever
fair, but is usually misleading. to COM
pare the growth of any single state at
different periods of its own develop
ment. Maj. Warner compares the
period from 1865 to 1871 with the cor
responding period Immediately succeed
ing. But he does not call attention to
the fact that the period he applauds
was one just following the war, when
the whole country was in state of
moving unrest, when the volume of
money outstanding was greater than
ever before in our history; when values
of all kinds was exaggerated and when
the spirit of speculative investment was
as daring as it was universal.
When the democrats came into DOW
er in 1873, eight years of peace had in
tervened. The frothing and efferves-
cling of speculation and adventure had
passed. John Sherman and his coadj u-
tators had been mercilessly pressing
their financial policy of contraction.
Specie payment had been resumed.
The great disastrous panic of 1873 was
upon us, before which the most colos-
sal fortunes were wrecked. and values
were given to the winds. 1mmigra-
ton, business, development-every-
thing. was checked by the tremendous
strain upon the country. From that
time forth, throughout the country.
progress and development advanced
sentative step.
But through all these years, despite
repu blican obstruction in the state,
Missouri has kept pace with other
states of the west.

UNFAIR COMPARISONS.
In his Sedalia speech. by Juggling
with figures and talking about per
cents, Maj. Warner sought to create
the impression that Missouri had fallen
far behind in the matter of immigra-
ton and in the increase of wealth. In
the first place, Mr.. Chairman, mere per
cents of increase are always mislead-
ing. They are never safe criterions for
comparison. For instance, take the in
crease of population in the states OF
Missouri and Kansas between 1860 and
1870. In 1860 Kansas had total popu-
lation of only l07, 106; in 1870 she had
364, 800. The actual increase was 257,-
1913 people, and the per cent of increase
was 230.91. Now in 1860 Missouri had
a total population of 1, 1s2 ,012; in 1870
she had 1, 72l ,2S5. The actual increase
was $50, 2s2 people, but the per cent Of
increase was only 1852. During the
decade more than twice as many people
came to Missouri as went to Kansas;
but the per cent of increase in Kansas
was more than five times as great as
that in Missouri.
In the second place it is never fair to
compare the growth of new state
with an old one Take Kansas and
Missouri again for illustration Twenty
years ago. even ten years ago, half the
state of Kansas lay out vast unoccu-
pied waste, stretching away TO the sun
set. This great area was composed of
public lands belonging to the United
States. Under the public land laws al
most any citizen could enter upon these
lands and take 100 acres under the pre-
emption law. This land he could OBJ
tain title to by occupancy, and by the
outlay of very small sum of money.
This was great inducement to immi-
grafton. Missouri enjoyed no such adj

n ess men to prosecute a thorough in
vestigation, and to ascertain the true
condition of the treasury? This was
done in order that the extent of the
Liability of the treasurer's bondsmen
might be known, as well as to ascertain
the condition of the treasury itself.
Hon. Chas- Parsons, OF St. Louis, was
appointed at the head of that commit
tee Mr.. Parsons is a distinguished
republican,: he is a supporter of Maj.
Warner; he is one of the most promi-
is one of the most respected citizens of
this city Mr.. Parsons made a report,
after an exhaustive investigation and
upon the basis of this report Mr.. No.
lands securities settled with the state.
After this was done, the governor in
obedience to the statute in such cases
provided, appointed a legislative COM
mittee TO make another investigation.
The chairman of that committee was
Hon. John Nj. Weeks. then representa-
tive from Jasper county and now, a
candidate on the same ticket with Mai.
Warner for the office of state auditor.
The report of that committee has long
since been given to the public. If Judge
Weeks found anything during his In
vestigation which the public ought to
know. but of which it has not been adj
vised, he has suppressed that knowledge
in violation Of his duty and his oath of
Office. Does Maj. Warner mean to
make that charge against his colleague
and associate? This absurd insinuation
of Maj Warmers is an ungenerous and
unmanly attack by innuendo. As soon
as hollands defalcation became known
he was promptly removed from Office.
His securities came forward at once
and paid every dollar into the treasury
he had distracted. He was forthwith
indicted, was vigorously prosecuted,
and is to-day serving term in the peni-
Tertiary.

this conviction. with this repayment

lions by two committees, than he ID at
