THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Hopeless Condition Of tho Peasants and
the Causes which Led to II,

Hopeless CONDITION OF tho Peasants and
tho Causes which Led to It.
In order TO get correct under.
standing OF how the peasants Of
Russia have been reduced to their
present hopeless state, says q writer
III the Century, 1t Is not sufficient to
know that there has been q series OF
bad crops The land is impoverished
and often the peasants sell their
manure for many years ahead at
ridiculously low prices 1t has been
shown that the recent droughts were
caused by the cutting down OF the
forests. When it rains floods wash
away the black soil. making the land
as barren as q desert
A few estate owners, who irrigate
their land and carry on agriculture
on u rational plan, have had good
crops during these bad years Tho
Intelligent and thrifty Mennonites,
who likewise cultivate the soil In o
rational way, also have had good
crops, and none among them has
suffered from famine. This alone is
enough to prove that the terrible
famine was not caused merely by tho
last failure Of crops.
When we consider the cruel way
In which the authorities extort
enormous taxes from the poor peo-
pie, It Is no wonder that the peasants
live constantly on the verge OF fam
inc. l have myself seen tho tax
gatherer take the COW OF poor
widow because her taxes had not
been paid. Informed OF his coming,
went to the izha OF the widow, and
found her In the yard with her arm
about the neck OF her only COW. Tho
tax-gatherers frequently have the
muzhiks beaten with rods until they
promise to produce money in some
way or other for tho payment Of
taxes
A prominent Russian lawyer told
me OF newly invented Gas yet not
patented) beating machine. The use
OF this machine has many advantages
over that OF the knout and the rods.
Among other things there is no dam
ger OF the machine feeling any for
hidden sympathy with the victims.
and tho force of the blows can DO
regulated according to the strength
OF the patient and the will OF the
representatives of the government.
These cruel extortions on the part
of the officers of the government
seem to breed the same hcartless
rapacity among the people. 1t is
not only tho mobiles. but merchants,
kulaks. and upstairs OF different
kinds who Cypress the peasants.
Most OF the loans are taken In
January, February. and March; in
January because the taxes are then
gathered; in February and March
because then the provisions Of tho
peasants run short, and all kinds OF
eatables used by peasants go up in
prices until they reach the climax In
April. From April the peasants
begin to earn little. and the loans
diminish until August After that
they rise again because after the
crops have been gathered the
peasants begin to pay their debts
with their harvest. so that they
themselves are soon without provis-
ions and must take loans again. Some
times the interest charged on
peasant loans amounts to 800 per cent

found. Many attacks were made
against this theory, the fiercest by
Mr.. Botticher, who commended that
Schliemann's six cities were nothing
more than huge cremAtory used for
ages. A conference Of savants, In.
vited by Schliemann TO Hissarlik In
1883, condemned Botticher's theory.
Sill, skepticism existed In the minds
Of several Us to the identity of Hissar-
