FREE TRADE LOWERS WORkINGMENS EARNINGS

1t is now generally understood among
the masses that the free-c coinage question
was formulated by the Democrats as
false issue. By throwing dust in the eyes
of the people and holding up the counter
felt presentment they hope to gain votes,
for they know full we'll that they would
not have received many on the record OF
President Cleveland as expressed in the
Wilson bill.
Not only do the Democrats of the entire
country feel ashamed of the record of their
party on the tariff issue, but all classes
know that their policy of ruin has COM
pletely Frustrated the manifold industries
OF the country.
The New York Sun, generally conceded
to be the ablest Democratic paper in the
United States, recently put the case of
protection as against free trade quite
plainly as it applies to the workingmen.
1t said:
There is only one country in Europe in
which the wages of labor are within half
of what they are in this country. That is
Great Britain. Wages in Germany,
France, Belgium and Switzerland are not
one-third of what they are here. Those of
Italy are not one-quarter. Last year cheap
foreign labor was imported into the United
States in the shape of manufactured
goods to the value of $692, 3l9, 76S. This
was great wrong TO American labor. In
the immense amount of imports permitted
by our insufficient and detective tariff the
labor of women employed in the Manches-
ter (England) cotton mills, whose wages
do not average $50 year, came into COM
petition with the higher priced labor of
our Southern and Northern cotton-spin-
ners.

ecuteve officers, legislature, and has
Judiciary and other machinery of the
law. But the government is very
feeble, and is very unsatisfactory in all
matters affecting the ''squaw man," or
whites who have married into the tribe.
The Indians are now attempting to
unravel the Gordisn not by cutting it,
a rather high handed proceeding that
may not succeed.
Henry Gannett, in the latest Bulle-
tin Of the American Geographical So
ciety, gives some interesting facts
about the present situation. The In
dians cannot dispose of their lands eX-
cept to the United States, but any
member of the tribe can take up and
use any unoccupied land which he de-
sires. This holding, however, is sub
ject to the will of the tribe, and this
right the Chickasaws are now trying
to exercise i'll order to dispossess their
white relations, who have acquired the
best things of the country. Ia no part
of our country has land grabbing been
carried to such an extent. The squaw
men hold the town sites,the coal lands,
and the best of the agricultural and
grazing lands, They lease most of
these lands to other white men, paying
a small part Of the rental to the tribe
A large number of the squaw men have
become comparatively rich. Neither
they nor the Indians Individually can
acquire permanent title, under pres
ent circumstances, and their policy has
been to make money while the sun
shines; in other words, to skim the
cream as quickly as possible and throw
away the skinned milk to sour. They
rr,,, %<~, I,
an extent that the Indians are facing
entirely, and this is what has impelled
the Chickasaws to take the bit
in their mouths and declare that they
will have no white domination nor
white property holders.
The government at Washington has
! been expecting some such move as the
Chickasaw legislature has taken. This
is the reason that for some time the
United States has been trying to nego-
tiate with the five tribes with view to
their giving up the tribal governments,
dividing their lands in severalty, and
making it possible for both Indian and
white members of the tribes to obtain
deeds for the lands they acquire. We
do not know the exact present condi-
tion of these negotiations, but a while
ago the commissioner who was trying
to treat with the Indians on this basis
did not make much headway. Mean
while the government is going ahead,
subdividing these lands into townships,
sections and quarter sections, just as
though it had been already decided
that the lands were to be allotted in
severalty. The lands of the Chicka-
saw nation have already been subdi-
vided, and it is estimated that the $780,
600 appropriated by the last congress
will suffice to subdivide half of the re-
mainder of the territory. If congress
continues to support the work il will
be completed by the end of next year.

TRAINS SPREAD RUSSIAN THISTLES

Investigation has developed a num-
ber of localities in the city and in Cook
county where the Russian thistle may
be found in abundance. Since the
Tribune published an account of the
finding of the weed in Polo, Ill, August
18, 1894, the agricultural experiment
station at Champaign has made investi-
cations, which led to the discovery of
Russian thistles in many points in Chi
cago and q dozen or more counties in
the state. Specimens from these places
have been identified.
In almost every instance the plants
have been found along The tracks of
railroads, and the seeds have been dis
tributed from cars loaded with cattle
from Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. e.
j. Hill of Englewood has re-
ported to the station specimens
found along the tracks of
the Knickerbocker Ice company
at Flora, Cook county. Many are found
on the Pennsylvania tracks as far over
as the Indiana state line and along the
Illinois Central tracks between One
Hundred and Tenth street and Hege-
wisch. They are prevalent in the terri
tory of the Panhandle railway between
West Pullman and the Calumet river
and on the commons near Exgleston
on the Rock Island. Along the Lake

thistles may be found on both sides of
the street. w. S. Moffit has reported
specimens found along the tracks in
the Union stock yards. Brighton park
had two or three clumps of thistles as
far back as 1891.
At the foot of Ontario street, at the
Indiana street dump, and along the
lake shore south of the Marine hos
pital, in Edgewater and Rogers park
many thistles were found and re-
ported this year.
statistics would indicate" said L.
Q. Brown, managing editor of the
Prairie Farmer, "that in Chicago and
Illinois the Russian thistle is rapidly
obtaining foothold. 1t was compare
lively unknown in this state few
years ago, but since the experiment
station became apprised of its presence
many new fields have been found."--

"SQUAW MEN" MUST GO

The Chickasaw nation, in the Indian
territory, has decreed that the white
men there who have married native
women and absorbed about all the
good things on the reservation shall
hereafter be considered as having no
rights there, the Indians reserving for
themselves the property that tie ma
tional government intended for their
use. This is bound to make great
uproar, and perhaps it will hasten the
day, greatly desired. when a clear and
definite idea Of the respective rights of
the Indians and white men shall be
determined.
The Chickasaw reservation occupies
the south central part of the territory.
1t embraces 1880 square miles of tim
Der and prairie, the timber covering
about two-thirds of the area. The
tribe elects a governor and other eX-
