%, President Buchanan vetoed the
bill. The action Of the president
was sustained in the senate by
Democratic votes, and thus the
people we're robbed of a free home
stead bill as late as 1860.
In 1861, the Republican party
being in control of both houses Of
congress, it fastened to redeem it's
pledges to the nation. EARLY in
1862 it passed the famous home
stead act, which has blessed the
world and given us more than a
million homes. Since that time
one hundred and seventy-four and
a half millions of acres have been
given by the government to those
seeking homes without money and
without price. The estimated
value Of this gift to the agricultural
people of the country amounts to
more than $21S, 100000.
1t is but just to conclude from
the history covering ten years of
the national congress (from 1852
to 1862 that the whole power of
the Democratic party was arrayed
against this principle of free homes
to American people, while the Re-
publican party, on coming into
power in 1861, made this their first
great duty to the nation and tc
those seeking homes, to keep its
pledge and redeem it's promise.
Who to-day on the farm in the
great west and northwest, having
found home at the hands of this
great party, can turn his back
upon it and it's principles and vote
to sustain theories and isms which
are the outgrowth of an unreliable,
dissatisfied element in our midst
who, having nothing, desire all
things? Had you not better con
slider and retain the Republican
party in power because of it's past
record ?-N0tl0nUZ Bulletin.

"A TANGLED SKEIN.
Secretary Mobiles Latest De
cision Regarding Mile
Laos Settlers.
It Is Against the Railroads
Even if 1t is Unfavora-
BILE to Settlers.

w ARLINGTON, Special, April %.
The secretary of the interior has
written another letter regarding
the Mile Laos Chippewa lands,
which leaves the matter in a more
complicated shape than ever be-
fore: AS it stands now, it will
invalidate and set aside all entries
made by persons in that reserva-
ton since 1889, when the law was
passed providing for the disposal
of the Chippewa lands in Mime
sofa not needed for Indian pur
poses. Between 200 and 300 new
entries, made since the passage of
the law, will be effected. In the
letter of Jan. 81, 1891, the secre
tary held that the Mile Laos lands
should be disposed of under the
general land laws and all entries
allowed upon them. In Septem-
Der, 1891, in the case of the North
ern Pacific against Walters, he held
that these lands were not public
lands and would have to be dis
posed of as lands in the White
Earth and Red Lake reservations
and other lands belonging to the
Chippewa tribes, which means that
the pine lands will have to be sur
veyed into forty-acre tracts, ap-
praised and sold, while the agri-
cultural lands will be opened to
homestead settlement upon the pay
ment of $1.25 per acre.
This last letter which the secre-
tary has written holds that, as be-
tween the two letters on the sub.
lect, the one of Sept. 3, 1891, shall
be followed by the general land
office. This will cause the suspen-
sion of all entries made since 1889.
and, in fact, will give the Mile
Laos Indians the right to select
lands IN the old reservations under
the severalty act. Had it not been
for the letter of Sept. 3, 1891, it
would have been found that the
railroad companies-the Northern
Pacific and the St. Paul G Duluth
would have been entitled to all
the lands in the odd numbered Sec
tons that had not been settled
upon previous to 1889, when they
applied to make selection for these
lands. By the latest order of the
secretary all rights of the railroad
companies are entirely rooted out,
and it recognizes practically that
this was a reservation and that the
railroads had no right upon it.
The order, however, affects not
only entries on the odd numbered
sections, but settlers entries on the
even numbered sections.

a SYNOPSIS Of Secretary Mobiles
latest decision regarding the So
called Mile Laos reservation will
be found in another column. IF
that decision stands it knocks ont
between two and three hundred
honest settlers. We will not criti-
else the decision until we under
stand its full scope. We are in
clined to think, however, that the
secretary's ruling is against the
railroad corporations and not nee
essarily against the settlers. We
would advise the settlers to keen
cool, hold on to their claims, and
hold them against all comers-red.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.
IL Was a Republican Measure
and Was Bitterly Opposed
by Democrats,

Sitting among the wales and hills
dotting the boundless prairies to-
day are seen more than a million
of prosperous homes built upon
farms which were the gift of a
generous nation. The whole num-
Der of farms in the United States
is four and a half millions. Less
than one-ffth, or 1,O92,161 were
bestowed upon class of people
who otherwise might have been
without homes or lands to-day.
What wonderful history for the
freside. Let the farmer read it
carefully and decide who has been
his benefactors.
In 1852 the Free Soil party pro-
posed to give the public lands to
those who would be willing to be-
come agriculturalists, but no &C
ton was taken worthy of notice.
In 1856, the Republicans having
organized as a political party,
made the homestead question a
national issue.
In 1851, the opening of the thir-
ty-ffth congress, the Republican
measure known as the Grow bill
was defeated by Democratic votes
in the lower house of congress.
Seventy-one Democrats voted
against the bill, while only four
teen voted for it. Every Republi-
can present voted for the bill.
In January, 1859, new meas
ure was acted on, but upon final
vote the bill was defeated by vote
OF 95 to 91-the Republican vote
being unanimous for the bill, the
Democratic vote being solid against
it, except twelve,
In February, 1859, further at
tempt was made and the Home
stead bill passed the house by a
vote of 100 yeas to rs nays. Sixty
out of the ninety-eig Democrats
voted against the bill. This bill
failed In the senate by a tie vote,
vice president Breckenridge cast
ing the deciding vote against the
bill. The Republicans voted unan-
imously for it and the Democrats
against it. Two days afterward a
further attempt was made and de-
feated by the Democrats.
At the next session, on the 9Th
of March, 1860, bill was reported,
and on the 18th of March it passed
the house by vote Of 115 yeas to
66 nay. The Republicans voted
unanimously for the bill and those
opposing it were Democrats. The
senate reported a substitute for
this bill in April, 1860, known as
the johnson bill, which passed the
senate on the 10th Of May. The
only votes against the bill were
those Of Democrats. This bill was
sent to conference, and after long
struggle the conference agreed and
its report was adopted; but when
it reached the president, on June

DIR. Rylance's Estimate.

Occasionally minister takes it
into his head to preach a sermon
on the newspaper press. Some
times it is an attempt at sensation
alism, and the newspapers and the
men who run them are decried and
even vilified in a manner unde-
served and absurd. And when the
subject of the newspapers comes
up in a Monday ministers meet
ing, one would suppose, from the
tenor of the criticism offered, that
the reverend gentleman really be-
lieved that the pulpit and press
were entirely antagonistic, the lat
ter in league with Satan, and
working for the destruction of
good morals and promotion of
vice. This sort Of thing may be
mere froth, and certainly it some
times comes to the surface On
the other hand there are very many
able and broad minded clergymen
who, while recognizing the Short
comings and imperfections of the
press, still recognize it's usefulness
as a moral factor and it's mighty
influence in the development of
civilization. The Rev. DR..
Rylance, rector of: St. Marks
Church, New York, is of this class.
In recent sermon he paid high
tribute to the moral influence of
the newspaper press.
''The reading of newspapers, he
said, ''could never constitute edu-
cation in it's best sense, but when
1t followed a thorough school edu-
cation it was the highest educator.
The living world was the best
school, and into this the newspa-
per led its readers. It went every
where-the art Of reading being
common. It was largely due to
this that the advanced and broad
minded views of life prevailed so
much among the American people.
1t has created a feeling of brother
hood among nations. The ex-
change of newspapers the world
over had promoted the cause of
international peace. The news
paper had generally been a
preacher of peace. Newspaper
men were generally LIBERAL" Dr..
Rylance said. CAS- a rule they
were far in advance of the politi-
clans IN decrying the evils of the
times. 1t was the newspaper
mainly,that had rendered popular
government successful. The news
paper went where speeches could
not. 1t kept men informed upon
the best literature Of the day; it
made known the researches of
science; it advocated needed social
reforms; it pleaded the cause of
the weak and oppressed; it was
the best auxiliary of the court of
law, and was more feared than all
the anathemas of the church. -

Editor american Economist: T
have read with great pleasure the
Economist and papers sent me
and have. sent and handed them to
others for reading. I am greatly
surprised at the people of the
south for the stand they have
taken against a protective tariff.
l am a protectionist and in favor
of helping home production, be-
cause l was a confederate soldier
and felt and witnessed the depend
ence and consequent want in the
south of nearly every manufac-
tured article used by the people.
During the war, and as people
for years and years before the war,
we had been in favor of free trade.
and consequently offered no in
ducements for the establishment of
factories and to laboring people to
learn trades. In fact, we had but
few factories, and they of the
crudest kind, totally incapable of
supplying our wants, and such
would be our condition as a nation
in time of war with a great nation
like England, unless we pursue
our present wise purpose of ell
couraging our manufactures by a
protective tariff, thus enabling our
people in time of war, if our ports
should be blockaded, to supply all
our wants by the hands of our own
skilled labor.
