HOW THE GOLDBUG CHICAGO
TRIBUNE FLEECES THE
PEOPLE.
J. A. HOLMES,
State Geologist.

Louis A. billiard, who was cashier of
the Chicago Tribune, ,embezzled So, 900
some two years and was convicted
therefor and sentenced to four years in
the p~enitentiary, was pardoned last
week by Governor Altgald for various
reasons, including youth and previous
good character. The Governor con
cludes his reasons for granting the
pardon as follows:
There is another point suggested by
this case, and that is, how far the in
tegrity and sense of right of young
men employed in some large money
making establishment is undermined
and weakened by a knowledge of the
fact that their employers are getting
large sums of money, which, while
not always obtained by criminal means,
~neverthess, in equity and good con
science, do not belong to them. This
young man had charge of the fnan-
cial department of the Tribune com.
pany. He knew that the Tribune
company rented ground of the Chicago
school fund, and, instead of paying a
fair cash annual rent on it, had man
aged to get things so fixed that it
pocketed in the neighborhood of $25,-
600 a year of money which ought to
have gone to the school fund. He also
knew that while the Tribune had a
cash market value of upwards OF
So, 600, 900, and should have been es
seesed for purposes Of taxation at not
less than 5000, 600, the company had
managed things so that it vas actually
assessed at only SIS, 900, and he saw
that it annually pocketed in the neigh
borhood of SIC, 900, which would have
gone into the public treasury as taxes
same proportion of taxes on It's prop
erty that other people paid on theirs
In. other words, he saw that tn,

rem. nv observation is that those who
keep the best posted in Alliance mat
tiers generally make the best and strong
est members.
1t ia impossible for any Sub-Alliance
to keen we'll up along this line unless
it's members read some good Alliance
papers.
We ought, also, to patronize our
State Business Agency more than we
do; for it is, in fact, the right arm of
the Alliance.
In conclusion, brethren, I will say
our Order is founded on right and jus,
tice and stands to day better equipped
for the battle than ever before. 1t is
not loaded with drift wood or dressed
for q ball. but stands ready and willing
for the fray. It knows no North, no
South, but love of country and prop
erty, home and home life, with its joys
and it's sorrows, it's benefits, it's draw
backs and it's motives.
Will each of you be a contributing
member, or will you stand back and
follow a stranger whom the people call
your master? Let US henceforth be
more united in our efforts; let us put
on our almor with renewed vigor and
determination, and new give up this
struggle for human rights and liberty
till this country is M again what it
should be-a government of the peo-
pie, for the people, and by the people.

HOW LONG WILL OUR FORESTS LAsT7
Drrinp the past few decades the
rnoot wbite pine forests of the North
6ove been cut at an enormously rapid
rote and with a recklessness character
is+ic of the American lumberman. Dur
inc the past few years the lumbermen
IN different portions Of the country
have been turning their attention to
Southern supplies of pine and hard
woods. and these are % being bought
I'M and cut at a rapid rate; and before
our people come to realize the situation,
orr supposed inexhaustible forests will
be largely removed. In the eastern
counties, at the present rate of cutting,
in less than two decades our supplies
of pine will have been exhausted, and
the great hard wood forests of the Pied
mont and Mountain counties, will IN
the same time have been cut, or pur-
chased by the mill men and held by
them as reserve supplies.
The sooner, then, that our people can
be brought to abandon the long pre-
vailing belief that they have o tim
Der than they know what to do with,
and consequently are willing to almost
give it away. and the sooner they can
be brought to realize the fact that the
valuable supplies of timber which they
are now selling to the mill men at low
prices, cannot be replaced il their day
and generation; the sooner they come
to understand that under our present
system of cutting timber, they not only
use up the supply belonging to the
present generation, but in destroying
the young growth of the forests they
are destroying the birth right of the
next generation, without any additional
return to themselves, the sooner will it
be possible to have adopted a wise and
conservative policy, which, while it
permits the use of the mature timber
of to-day, it also preserves the young
forest growth, which is to be the tim
Der supply of to morrow.
Let us understand then, that our
present timber supply isnot inexhaust-
able; that in many places it has already
been nearly or quite removed; that in
cutting the mature trees with charac-
t~eristic recklessness, We are also de-.
stroying in a large measure the young
forest growth; that at the preseni rate
of cutting our forest supplies "a last
but a few decades longer; that in the
use of our forests we should do every
thing possible to encourage the develop
ment within the State of lumber manu-
featuring establishments, in order that
our lumber may manufactured at
home; and that in cutting our forests
every effort should be made to protect
the young tree growth.
