any man warns them he is regarded

thing before them now, Just as the
Slavocracy did forty years ago. They
have got another Buchanan in the
White House and lot of Tawneys on
the bench. They are turning out
Dred-Scott decisions by the wagon
load. They are cracking their whips
over the backs of white men this

tural weapon of defence. (the right Of
an intelligent suffrage), and leave
them lot of soft-headed, harmless,
cowardly creatures that would not

men to de-horn their cattle; Plutoc
racy hires the Grange and the Farm
ers' Tribune to de-horn the farmers;
and farmers pay the bill! That's the
beauty of it.
"The Grange helps the farmers to
think" says the Tribune. But what
is thought? An immaterial imper-
ceptible thing inside the brain-pan.
The slaves think;-they think living
and they think dying. But what does
it amount to? There must be action,
or thought is nonentity. And for
many to act out the same thought
there must be organization; and in a
free country that organization must
move on the law-making power,
through the ballot boxes: or by vio-

We would say to our friend. that
there is no way to remedy the griev-
ance he complains of except by the
the triumph of the Peoples Party,
and the assumption of the railroads,
telegraphs, telephones and express
business by the government. If the
nation can carry our letters, newspa-
pers and small packages of seeds,
books. clothing, shoes, ETC., there is
no reason why it's function should not
be enlarged to carry larger articles,
and in fact all articles. There is no more
paternalism in the one than in the
other. And our friend shows the ex-
tortions praeticed on the people and
which help to reduce them to poverty
and eventual slavery. Whenever a
minority of the people plunder the
majority the majority ought to stop
it: and there is no way to stop it but
by government ownership. The Rings
work together and control the legis-
latures: and in twenty years the law
making power has done almost moth
ing to protect the people. Republi

Brother Howe Answered.

Our friend, Jonas II. Ho we, is in er.
ror when he said in the REPRESENTA-.
TIVE the other day,-"the farmers
own and pay taxes on 5000, 600 acres
OF land in Minnesota The oath an
nual report of the Commissioner OF
Statistics shows that the farm land
actually in crop in 1892. was 6.979, ,674
acres;-but this does not include the
land on the farms not cultivated-the
Wild land, woods, meadows pastures
etc. The total number of acres in the
organized counties of the state, (Ex.
Doc. 1892, Vol. ,. p. 742), is 5O,335, ,367,
The total number of farms is set
down in 1892, at 92,9l7, which, at an
average of 16O acres each, would
amount to 1866, ,72O acres. instead of
100000.
We would like to have Brother
Howe's authority for the statement
that the railway companies now own
1000, 900 acres Of land. The whole
amount granted to them more than
thirty years ago. was 100000 acres,

and they have been selling them of
steadily ever since. The whole region
from st. Paul to Breckinridge and
north, was settled up, twelve or
fifteen years ago, by taking up rail-
road lands, through the purchase of
the old St. Paul and Pacific bonds,
much of it at dollar an acre. The
Hastings and Dakota Grant is now re-
Guced to "a, 796 acres.
But, even if there were 1000, 900
acres, the courts have held that the
companies hold them under an inviol.
able contract to pay nothing but per
centage on their gross earnings. in
lieu Of all other taxes: and hence it
might be difficult, perhaps impossible,
to apply Single Tax to them. Now,
they pay nearly a million a year taxes
on the gross earnings. [. d.
