for long time, some pieces being two
or three inches in diameter when dry,
indicating probably a growth Of twenty
or more years; but these very thick
pieces are usually rejected as being
wort HESS for making extract, as root
after four years growth begins to de-
teriorate in value for the purpose of
making extract, because of becoming
too woody and fibrous, and lessening the
percentage of eXtractive matter. On
the other hand, the very thin fibres of
one year or less growth are equally
worthless, yet the shipper works in as
much of both kinds in the bales as he
dare, to say nothing of adhering soil and
debris. Root Of three years is the most
desirable, if it could be obtained, being
the ri chest in eXtractive matter.
1t will be seen from the above that the
preparation Of licOrice roots for the
market, as we find it, is a tedious and
expensive process first, the organiza-
ton of the business, in the EN- ployment
OF clerks, uperinteudents and host Of
minor officials to superintend the dig
gers, receive and weigh the root at the
various stations appointed in different
-ocallties, pressing. shipping, etc. The
right t., dig over a certain territory is
obtained by lease or tiGhe, as the land is
owned by the government, the chur h,
the village, or by individuals. Then
there are the digging, drying, curing,
pressing and baling, inland transporta
ton, ocean freights, insurance, fire and
marine, bankers ald brokers COM
missions, interest and loss of weight in
transportation. These expenses alone,
throwing aside the cost Of the freshly
dug root, will represent fully IS per cent
Of the price Of the root eX ship in the
United States. The foregoing expenses
are fixed and unavoidable, as the fresh
root could not be transported, owing to
it's perishaGle nature. These consider
ations have led me during the past four
years to investigate the Feasibility of
growing the plant in the United States.
The consump tion Of the extract in
this country is now so large and i'm
portant. especially in the manufacture
of chewing tobacco, that in case Of a
European war. a blockade Of the Black
Sea at the Dardanelles, or the Mediter
ranean at Gibralter, would effectually
cork up the worlds supply, and throw
the large American industry of tobacco

better than to repuDllSh extracts from
an article by Mr. Henry M. Rittenhouse
in the American Journal Of Pharmacy,
which we find in a late number of the
St. Francis Facts:
Licorice root is cultivated, in the true
sense of that word, in so few places in
the world, and to so small an extent as
an article of commerce, as hardly to be
worth mentioning. One or two places
in England, and like number in France
and Germany, embrace all the localities
happen to be acquainted with, and the
area of land under cultivation varies
from few rods to an acre or two, five
acres being an exceptionally large field.
The licorlce plant grows over an
area extending from the shores Of the
Mediterranean, on the south, latitude
80 degrees), to Siberia, on the north Oati-
tude 55 degrees), and from the western
shores Of Europe to the plains Of Per-
STA and farther India, and from low
levels to 800 feet above the level of the
sea; thus showing over what an immense
area of land and variety of soil and
climate it will gov vigorously. In
Afghanisan it forms the principal fuel.
1t is hardy and tenacious plant, al
most impossible to eradicate where it
once obtains a foothold, and growing
without care or cultivation when fairly
started The mention of these con-
dtions under which the plant, which
furnishes the root Of commerce is found,
is to illustrate its hardy nature.
AS the plant grows wild, and gener
ally on wild and uncultivated land and
is dug and prepared for market by cheap
Asiatjc and Russian labor at starvation
wages, the first question naturally is,
would it pay to grow it in the United
States The answer to this is: if it is
intended to grow it as root dried and
sold in competition with this wild, i'm
ported root, probably not; but to propose
and advance such an enterprise is not
my object.
LicOrice root, as found in commerce,
is urea anu pFcSSCu III OblCS. 4 uC EOOG,
when freshly dug, contains on an aver
age, SO to 60 per cent of moisture. This
must first be dried out, which is done
by exposure to the air, much as hay is
made, requiring frequent turnings and
handling to prevent, as much as posi-
BILE, heating, fermenting and darkening
during the drying, as we'll as the wet
ting by rain or snow, which may be
frequent before the root is dry enough
to press for shipment. The root, when
nearly dry, and danger from the presence
of moisture has passed, is piled up in
large stacks until ready to be pressed.
Around these stacks are dug bitches for
draining the ground. and after a heavy
shower, or prolonged period of rain or
snow. these bitches Will fill with a black
water, containing very strong taste
and a high percentage of the eXtractive
matter of the root; this, of course, de-
teriorates it's value, and is itself waste.
When dry enough, it is pressed in pow
erful hydraulic presses worked by steam,
so AS to reduce the bulk to minimum,
and so save freight in shipment. The
bales are bound with iron straps, and
sometimes covered with canvas,

people agree on legal tender just the same
as on bushel, ounce, pound, and you
have 1t in nutshell, provided the people
understand the philosophy of it. Gold and
silver at 1G to is all right as measure of
relief, but they are too expensive and may
be cornered by capitalists, both of them.
Gold is now. To start a silver one-plank
party is rank nonsense in my belief. Sup
posing it was successful and planted it's
platform principle the organic govern
ments, it's occupation would be gone and a
new party would have to be built from the
bottom up to effect other reforms, and be-
fore that time the gold bugs would have
become silvery gold bugs with full pos
session operating for their own benefit for
all there is in it.
Regarding the means of transportation l
believe it is impossible to control what We
do not own. AS to railroads, take Norway.
for instance, a small, barren, unimportant
country, with a mOnarchial form of gov
eminent. That country owns and operates
its roads The passenger fare is 40c per 100
miles, while in Minnesota it is 49, and the
building of it costs three. four and up to
five times as much as our best roads.
My plea for the initiative and referendum
is, that if our public servants fail through
neglect or unwilingness to do their duty,
the people should have the opportunity to
do it themselves and discharge Improbable
servants. + have noticed that 1 have been

day, and in view of his service on the tariff
conference committee, there was great in

Vest called attention to the gravity of
the tariff war which foreign countries had
begun against the United States, as q re-

though Mr. Hill failed in referring the in
come tax to the courts, he secured the
adoption of an important amendment linn

A few days before his election to the
presidency of the federation, John Mcbride
said in an interview: when l say that L
am a limited socialist only say what
every citizen in the country must say, for
we have now limited socialism, and it
is simply question of opinion how far it
should extend. For instance, | believe that
the government should take up and operate
all lines of transportation and take charge
of such means of production as the people
may elect from time to time. That leaves
the opening broad enough to admit or ex-
clude anything. AS to wealth, l think the
time has come when we must revise our
inheritance laws and prevent the accumu-
lation of vast fortunes by limiting the
amount one man may leave to his heirs,
the residue to go to the state, and thus
back to the pockets of the people, to whom
it belongs
