THE BIG ISSUE OF 1900.

The Iroquois club Of Chicago cele-
brated its sixteenth anniversary Tues
day evening with a banquet and
speeches. Mayor Harrison was called
on for a speech. Turning from the
past work of that club in the cause
of tariff reform to the future, he adj
mitted that any forecast was difficult,
but said:
''I think, however, it is pretty safe to say
this-that the Democratic party of the fu-
ture should be what the Democratic party
of the past has always been when 1t has
been successful and has deserved success
and that is party that stands for the rights
of the people rather than for the rights of
corporations and the great monopolles. And
l feel that if the Democracy of the United
States bands itself together today, If the
Democracy Of Chicago, If all the various
forces of the party will line themselves up
on that one question there is no question that
when the next national election is held we
will have once more a Democratic president
at Washington.
Mr.. Harrison tersely states the vital
difference between the two great forces
In government, Democracy and Social
ism, to which one comes when all pre-
tense is stripped away, all illusions are
are ascertained by the results of their
administration. Republicanism today
is Hamiltonism incarnate, a strong,
central government, whose strength de-
nends upon the selfish interests of the
rich and powerful whom it has attach
ed to itself through legislation in their
behalf. Democracy, when true to itself,
is Jeffersonianism incarnate, with it's
fundamental principle of equal rights
for all and special privileges for none.
The issue proposed by Mayor Harri-
son is a comprehensive one, embracing
all those for which the party has
fought in recent years. 1t may be larg-
err than the one that was in his mind
when he spoke; it certainly is larger
in It's scope than Mr.. Altgeld defines
It. for it goes directly to the root of
monopoly and, taking in that, includes
all its off-shoots. The mother monop-
DIV of all is the government that, under
the control of the socialistic spirit of
Republicanism, has taken from the
neople rights and transmitted them into
a power which it monopolizes. 1t has
deprived the people of their natural,
inherent right of free exchange of their
products, under specious pretense of
their welfare, making of it monopoly
which has become the fecund mother
of all the litter of petty monopolies
that feed now upon the industries of
the people, consuming their substance.
It will be the province of this reunited
Democracy, under the one great issue,
to restore to the people that vital. pri-
NAL right.
Again, under the same instinct that
absorbs rights to be converted into mo-
nopolistic power, the federal govern
ment, under Republican control, has
arrogated to itself the sole monopoly
of creating representative money, using
the power partly itself and doing out
the privilege to corporations tied to the
government by the securities required.
No government should have the power
to monopolize the money of the people
any more than it should monopolize
any other product OF their industry.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-22

It has no further right or power than
to provide that such representatives or
money made by individuals should
have the element of solvency, just as
it has the right and power to provide
for the purity of food. Under that SUI
pervision the citizen should be as free
to supplement metallic currency with
paper substitutes as he is to produce
any other thing needed by his fellows.
It's provision is as much the domain OIL
private enterprise as is the productlon
of the raw material Of metallic money.
The seat of the money power" Is IN
this monopolization of credit money by
the government, and under the one
great issue, that power will be taken
from government and restored to the
people, When this is accomplished the
money question will be forever settled.
On such an issue the Democracy can
all unite and when they do the knell
of monopoly will be sounded.

COMMERCIAL TREES.
By j. o. Barrett, Secretary of the
Minnesota State Forestry AssO-

Minnesota State Forestry Asso-
citation.
By experimentation the early settlers learn
ed that only non-commercial trees could be
successfully raised on the open prairies 1t
may never be safe to reject these pioneers
sorts which are less hardy in the start.
With their protection, prairie forestry Is suf-
ficiently developed now to warrant the in
PRODUCTION of the pines, white and red oaks,
white BIRCH walnuts hfckor.es, hard
naples, basswoods, rock e1ms, the better
ashes and some. others. 1t has already been
demonstrated in the southern half of the
state that walnut orcharding Is a paying sue
cess.
In Europe are plantations of commercial
trees that largely support the government.
The little country of Bavaria for instance,
owning 100000 acres of forests, receives
from them net profit annually of $4,5OOOOO.
can do WELL only practically systematic
the enterprise. In Massachusetts, and like
success in other New England states, an
eight-acre lot of poor land, sown to pine
seeds in 1850, the trees cut in 1891, yielded
s., 900 from the boz boards at the mill. At
this rate 100000 acres, conditions similar,
would, in forty years growth Of the seed
lings yield $25 900; and 10000 square miles,
6,40O 900 acres, poorest land, located at the
headlands of our principal streams forest
reserves, would yield S1.60O 600, coo. to say
nothing of water economy and healthful in
iuences, and benefits to the general agricul-
ture. According to good authorities, the
increment value of wood growth after the
trees have developed to about half their
maturity, is five cents per tree. Dating
these ratios, and allowing each acre to have,
average, only 100 trees, the increase in value
per year of the 1G500G square miles would be
$31, 600 OO0 Calling the net but half this sum,
it is obvious that, with right management,
the profit from the cut would literally sup
port all our state public institutions. Is it
not worth the while, then for the state to
encourage the raising of pines and other
commercial trees on lands useless for no
other purpose than such tree culture?.
Let the pTssikrie farmers, too, consider their
chances Tie demand for timber is constant
Iy increasing. If they would begin the COM
mercial enterprise with simply one acre, and
every year plant new one so that the value
would be continuous after the first cutting
by selection and keeping the forest intact,
the income would far exceed the profit OF all
An indiana farmer was recently offered $50
for each of his four walnut trees which he
planted in younger years. He refused the
iumberman. Going home, he said: wife, l
have lost 5000, 900 today" She laughed out
right. saving: How can that be when you
never had so much in all your life?' Men
tioning the offer he added: eff, when
nIanted those four walnut seedlings, l had
planted 1000 such. don't you see I would
be worth $200. 0.000?'

FLOOD OF ORIENTALS.
Way for Them Opened by Federal
Court Decision.

SEATTLE. Wash. Oct. 21.-Judge
Hanford, of the federal court, today
made decision in a Chinese case In
which he holds that the wives and
children of Chinese merchants doing
business in the United States do not
have to have certificates from the
Chinese government to entitIe them
to enter this country. Government
officials here say that if the opinion is
upheld by the higher courts it means
that the important section of the Chi
nese exclusion act which provides that
sons and daughters of Chinense mer-
chants doing business in this country
must secure certificates from their
home government, is no longer a law.
United States District Attorney Binker
will at once report to the treasury de-
partment Judge Hanaford's ruling,
and 1t is expected that the attorney
generals Office will at once take steps
to have the case appealed to the su-
preme court. Treasury agents claim
that if the decision holds it will open
the gates for flood of Orientals, for
If certificates are not required, any
number of Chinenese can claim to be
children Of merchants in the United
States. Judge Hanford's decision is
in direct opposition to Judge Lacombe,

AS. o1 county ->.eorney- Anderson, and
at another time in the presence of her
attorney, George Walsh. 1t was not
proved that Mr.. Finklestein made any

the jury believed George Walsh's tes-
timony to the effect that Finkelstein
had uttered in his presence slanderous
epithets concerning the plaintiff,
though Finkelstein fatty disputed

The jury remained out about three
hours.
The defense was given a stay of
twenty days, and in the meantime will
ask for a new trial, on the ground
that the verdict is contrary to the evil
