fully assisted us we might name the
following: Misses jamie Wakefield.

than to any other cause ard Adam
Smith, in his Wealth Of Nations,
tells us that the crown laws in Eng.
land we're everywhere the least pro-
ductive. Herbert Spencer testifes
that the same is true Of the crown
lands in England, Austria and Ger
many to-day, and in our own coun-
try the history Of jamestown,
Plymouth and Brook Farm bear
witness to the ruinous effect Of COM
munistic ownership ofproperty... Cen
fury after century these and similar
measures have again disappointed
hopes and again brought disaster.
Science, too, testifes in behalf of
democracy and reioices in the
triumph of the individual. In the
lower forms of life the law OF selec-
ton, the law Of the survival of the
fttest, sways a catholic and undis-
puted scepter. 1t is certain, also,
that in the history of human pro-
gress this law has obtained with
equal force in the realm of mind and
spirit. But distinction must be OBJ
served, that in the world of matter,
size and physical strength are the
ruling forces. The sun rules the
elliptic because he is big and
dense. But in the realm of mind,
moral and intellectual worth are the
ruling forces. But You say this law
is a stern and cruel law, which &C
cords the strong supremacy over the
weak. True, it is, we reply, but it
it is the law of nature. "Her voice
is the harmony of the universe. Her
throne is the bosom of God" As
civilization advances, a certain
amount OF Sufferlng must be endur-
ed. No power on earth, no cum
ningly devised laws of statesmen, no
communistie panacea, can diminish
it one jot. In the vain attempts to
equalize conditions and Danish suf-
fering, the fundamental laws CT ma
ture are ignored and disaster and in
crease suffering follow.

AS the democratic party thrives
upon calamity, the recent blizzard in
Kansas and in the northwest may
possibly come to the aid of the democ-
racy as does a friend in need. The
reports from the wheat fields of that
section are to the effect that great
damage has been done to the winter
wheat y the recent cold. Thousands
of acres are so blackened by the frost
that it is doubtful if they will recover
any considerable portion of their vi
tality.

The republicans in Iowa give evil
dence of returning common sense in
their dealing with the prohibition
question. The recent action of the
legislature of that state gives ground
for the hope that the cast iron pro-
hibitory laws of the past, through
which republication has been de-
throned in the state, are about to be-
come things of the past, and high
license and county local option as.
sumo their place. This means the
rehabilitation of republicanism in
that state, and the total destruction
of the hopes that have been formed
by the democracy of carrying lows
this wear.

THE southern sugar planters are in

bear upon the sugar bounty law the

the Industries of republican states.
This would be eminently fair and

insist that free trade is always to the
advantage of the American agricul-

abolition of the sugar bounty upon
this democratic industry having been
