The State of Nebraska has marked
an epoch in its history by repeating
the State Bounty law on tree-planting,
passed only twenty years ago.
In the interval Nebraska has been
transformed from "A desert to "a garden.

no longer exists.

the policy which IN the State of New

and which allows the paper trust to

a lesson from Nebraska. -NeU York

Virginia is far from being a desert or
treeless, but we have been recklessly
destroying our forests and unless tree
planting becomes more general the
time Will come when we will sorely
lament the sad neglect.

FRIDAY, APRILl4, 1899.


Quite a lively controversy of late has
been waged between two Virginia
farmers through the columns of the
Richmond Dispatch which we have
read with interest The spirit of one
of the combatants was really refreshing
and inspiring. Having been accused
by his opponent Of asking for charity
he Indignantly replies
"The farmers make no appeal to the
charity of the population urban or
otherwise. Their plea is only for such
things as they have a right to demand
-even-handed justice and equality in
the adoption and administration Of the
laws by which their interests are affect
ed, particularly those which relate to
taxation and currency. In word, as
has been so admirably expressed, they
demand equal rights to all and special
privileges to none"
He does not fear to mention the ode
pressed condition of agriculture, the
largest single interest in America" be-
cause forsooth he may be called ''ca-
lamity howler," and he tells the exact
truth when he attributes this condition
to vicious or mistaken legislation and
administration"
In a truly manly way he proceeds
. g.. sff.
conditions produced by natural causes,
he ought to endure them with patience
and resignation; but if he is suffering
from conditions produced by artificial
causes, then he should agitate and con-
tinue to agitate until his grievances
are heard and remedied. 1t does not
appear to me to be unreasonable that
the farmer should expect that the pro-
ducts of his labor should sell for enough
to pay the cost Of production, when
other business subsidiary to and de-
pendent upon it are asserted TO be in
high state Of prosperity"
Is there any weak link in that chain
of argument? Any false reckoning?
Spectators, gamblers Of all kinds,
"army contractors and all live on
farmers. Must farmers of all men bare
~ live? And what scathing rebuke
he gives to bis antagonist who c0Oly
advised the farmers TO "get reconciled
to prevailing conditions" when he
says the manSwho gets reconciled TO
wrong is treading perilously near the
actual commission Of wrong himselfu
There are inmates Of badly ventil-
ating homes who become so accustOm-
ed to foul air that they are utterly I'M
conscious of its noxious character.
Others live in the dark until light is
intoleraDle to the eye. Farmers may
do wrong by submitting to wrong.
They have grievance and should /
make it known. The powsr to correct |
the evil is lodged with them. The /
brother farmer who leads them out Of /
the house Of bondage will be a Moses /
indeed to them. Who-knows but that /
the writer from whom we have quoted I
