WHOSE COUNTRY Is THY, ANYWAY?

A London syndicate owns three million acres
of land i'll Texas. This is equal to five full
sized counties. There are two other English
syndicates and several English individuals who
own more land in Texas than any American
does, or ever will own. One Irish nobleman,
Viscount Scully, OWLS three hundred thousand
acres in Illinois. The Duchess of Marlbor-
ough and others connected with her, own two
million acres in Florida. Another English syn
dicate OWNS 800, 900 acres in Mississippi. Be-
sides these English capitalists own in this
country about oS 600, 900 acres of land in the
different states, and American citizens, for the
use of this land or any part of it, must pay
these Englishmen for the privilege. Most of
this land has been acquired within a few years,
and at the present rate of investment it will not
be many years before our people will be at the
mercy of English mobiles for the privilege of
shelter and the chance to till American soil.
Besides this, there has been given to railroad
corporations nearly 200, 900, 900 acres of land,
III ost of which is held, directly indirectly, by
foreign money lenders Foreigners own over
5000 ooo, 900 of national, state and corpora
tion bonds, upon which $500, 900, 900 annually
in interest must be sent abroad. And still the
great hue and cry is,we must do nothing to pre-
vent foreign investments in this country. 1t
may be interesting to estimate the time that
will elapse before foreigners will own the entire
country and the people that are in it. Is this
really our country? Or does it not belong to
foreign capitalists? At least, do they not own
ga controlling interest," in it already? And
what going to do about it?-Texas

HERE TO STAY.

The party has been in the field six years land
is stronger today than ever before. The Pop
ulist party has gained strength and vigor every
year in every state in the Union. 1t is fact
that few years ago, when the party was in its
infancy and no old-party man had any idea
that it would amount to anything, the minority
party in the various states threw their votes to
it to down the majority party, and factions in
the old party used it to down the opposing
faction that had been successful in the caucuses.
By the aid of these allies, the party has at times
been strong enough to elect men where they
have failed when trying it alone This has
given the old party horn-blowers chance to
see how fast the Populist party is dying out,
while the facts are, the party had really gained
strength 1t is now getting to be painfully
apparent to the most obtuse of the old party
followers that the Pop party is here to stay
