The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1895-03-08

Wise Republicans are not rejoicing at
the feud in the Democratic party in the
South on the finance issue, for 1t means
the prevalence Of sentiment In that
section which is full of peril for the
whole country. 1T Is clear enough now
that the third party folly In the West
has run It's course. and that in 1896 the
Republicans will regain control Of all
the states which they have usually car
ried. In last November's election, prac-
tically speaking, they did this, but next
year Republican clean sweep Of all Of
those states is as certain as any politi-
cal event In the future can be. The
third partys recruiting ground at this
time is the South. It is safe to say
that that party will develop a greater
strength In the South in 1896 than It did
In the West in 1892, and that It will
carry some of the states of that region.
This is not the way Republicans would
order matters If they had the power.
The prevalence, even In Democratic To-
calltles Of the lunacies and obllquities
associated with Populism Is a prospect
which is not cheering to the Republi-
cans. Republican success In the presi-
dentlal and congressional elections next
year will not, in the slightest degree,
be dependent on any such condition of
things. As between the Democrats and
the Populists the Republicans would
always prefer the Democrats. The
Populists have all the follies and alb
surdlties of the Democrats, supple
mented by pretty large assortment
Of idiocles and iniquities of their own.
Undoubtedly the third party will seek
alliance with the Republicans In the
South next year, but the Republicans
will avoid such coalitions, They have
nothing to gain in that direction, while
they have much to lose. The blather.
skite and scalawag element represented
by the Fences, Simpsons and Dryans
was, to a considerable extent, weeded
out of congress by last November's
election, and 1t is to the interest OF
the Republicans both as partisans and
as patriots that It be kept out here

The construction OF the great Slber-
ian railroad will open vast area Of
land to the use Of agriculture, and 1t is
already apparent that the policy OF
Rrosla will be to attract settlers by
Offering liberal terms. On the western
section of the railroad now completed,
the richest government land is held at
an annual rental OF s2,25 for forty
acres and the Russian emigration there
Is heavy. The productions are wheat,
cattle, lard, wool, horse and eamerF
hair and raw hides, including camel
and goat skins. Students Of the worlds
economic affairs will have a new ele-
ment to deal with when the railways
across Siberia and South America are
In full operation.

The stories going the rounds of the
pagers about the allen ownership OF
enormous tracts Of farming land In
this country and the system of rack
rent under which the tenantry on these
lands is being oppressed, are Popuiist
fakes pure and simple, and no respect
able paper ought to print them. 1t Is
doubtful II there is a foreign holder OF
American real estate today who would
not be glad to sell his land for 50 per
cent Of what 1t cost him. Yet there
are demagogues and Populist alarmists
who would have the people believe that
conspiracy exists among the rich
men Of Europe to acquire all the land
In this country and then reduce the
people to an American feudal system.
