Coxey Then and Now.

| From the Elmira IN. Y.) Advertiser.
The further the country gets away
from the free trade period the bette,
the free traders are able to argue for q
return to these times, simrly because
the people have habit of forgetting.
When the people stop to think they
soon get their bearings, and the plead
ing of the free trade propagandists go
for naught. An echo of the last era of
tariff reform has been heard in St. Louis
within the past week. Jacob S. Coxey
of Ohio has been there attending a
farmers meeting. Most of US recall
Coxey and the part he played in as
sembling his army of unemployed to
march on Washington while Cleveland
was president, and at the time that the
Democrats were busy readjusting the
tariff and the business conditions of the
country. The readjusting had about
left the country without any business
worth while.
The Democratic party had been
swept into power on wave. of tariff re-
form. 1t had been thund ering in its
platforms that, if intrusted with control
of all the law-msking branches, it would
make such mighty cut in tariff taxes
that the suffering consumer would find
relief from his burdens. In a very
striking way this pledge was kept. The
consumer was eased of most of the
burden Of consuming. Idle men wan
dered over the country seeking some
thing to consume. Coxey enrolled
hundreds of them in his army
In the doubt, uncertainty and hesita-
ton which covered everything, the
country ianguished more and more.
The depression continued and grew
worse, through weary months running
into years. Following the Coxey lead
other leaders OF discomfort, starting
farther west, marched after him, each
with his little army OF struggling hu-
manity. When they arrived in Wash
ington they were arrested and many of
them thrown into Jail.
We are reliably informed that Mr..
Coxey made the trip from his home in
Ohio to the meeting in St. Louis in a
Pullman car. We firmly believe this |
statement to be true.
There is good lesson here that we
would urge every young Democrat and
every first voter to lay to his heart.
Don't be led astray by false prophets
and false issues. Remember that ex-
perince is the best teacher, and pin |
yeuF faith to the party that stands for
American industrial supremacy, Ameri-
can workmen and American wages.

April i, 1910 That date Is memorable one
not only to the settlers, whose entries are
liable to cancellation for failure to make the
payments due, but also to the reclamation

turn of its investment in the engineering
works. 1t is also matter of interest to eiti
Gems Of the number of sections containing fea-
sible projects, the construction Of which cannot
be undertaken without additional funds. AS
the repayments are made through the local
land Offices and not directly to the service
some time must elapse before the actual
amounts collected are known. On number OF
the projects, like Sun River Shoshone and
Huntley the settlers have already made their
initial payments and will not be delinquent
on the second installment until April, 1911,
which enables them to market two crops be-
tween payments. On several other projects,
such as the Minidoka, klamath Lower Yellow
stone, Belle Fourche, Carlsbad, Truckee-Car-
son, North Platte and others, the first settlers
have had the use Of water for two crops, and
it Is probable that majority will be able to
meet their obligations without difficulty
Detailed reports from various sources on
each Of the projects have been received at
Washington The conditions as whole are
described as favorable for large return to
the reclamation fund. On several Of the
projects there will be no delinuuents On

has derived considerable revenue from these

have been enabled to increase the areas In
cultivation. The following financial statement
is interesting as showing the status of the

The reclamation service began its work In
1902 on the passage of the reclamation act
The first contract was let in September of the
next year and, on June II, 1905, an important
project in Nevada was formally opened.
Progress has been rapid and the activities
OF the bureau have been extended to &c or
more projects, which to date have involved the
expenditure Of s60,00O,0o0. In the seven and
one-half years of its work the service has built
4,215 miles Of canal. Placed end to end, these
canals would reach from Washington to San
Francisco and back to New Orleans. Several
of these canals carry whole rivers.
It has excavated II miles of tunnels
Before the end Of the year it will have COM
pleted four of the highest dams in the world
It's excavations OF rock and earth amount to
the enormous total of 600o000O cubic yards.
Its roads have total length of Ait miles:
telephones, 1927 miles; 1eyees, 70 miles
It has purchased 915,751 barrels of cement
and has manufactured in its own mill $1,000
barrels. AS result of it's work water is avail
able for 10000 acres on 900 farms.
The gross value Of crops produced on the
lands irrigated by the government projects In
1910 was $14038000 As a result of the work
of the government it is estimated that land
values have increased more than sos. 00o
The reclamation service is entering 1910
with money and plans for completing MOST M
its larger and unfinished masonry struct17ros
and with about three-quarters of a million of
acres of arid land under irrigation.
1t will finish this year the great Roosevelt
dam in Arizona, one of the most massive In
the world 1t has completed the shoshone
dam, in northern Wyoming, the highest struc-
ture Of Its, kind ever built: the Pathfinder
dam, in southern Wyoming, and the Laguna
dam, in Arizona It will for the first time
utilize the Gunnison tunnel, whose completion
was celebrated by President Taft last summer
The funds available for construction are
somewhat less than In previous years, and the
organization, which is very elastic has been
cut down to fit reduced expenditures About

Reviewing the history of the reclamation
service as whole its maximum activity and
expenditures were in the year 1907 In 1902
the expenditures were less than 100000 and
in 1903 less than 100000. In 1904 thew were
s2,5Oo,O00; IN 1905, 100000; in 1906 a little
less than S10,000,000; in 1907, nearly $4,000
O00. Then the expenditures decreased tn
S1o,000,000 in 1908, to about 50 100000 in 1909
and in 1910 they will be a little under So 900.
600. 1t Is expected that In 1911 thew will
shrink to about 100000. which sum will
probably continue to be available during after
years, assuming that the water-rfght CHARGES
are paid as they fall due.

The late Gov. John A. Johnson well said
the west symbolizes homes for the homeless,
food for the hungry, work for the unemployed,

Irrigation has wrought its miracle and 49,
100000 acres reclaimed are annually produ-
cling harvests valued at more than $3.50, 900
and supporting in homes Of their own more
than 100000 families. The wealth of that por-
ton of the country which great statesmen in
Webster's day were wont to declare worth
less is greater now than that Of the entire
nation in 1860
In the swift march of national events dur
ing the past decade the development of the
west has focused the attention of the world.
It furnishes one Of the most inspiring pages
in the annals of our commonwealth It is
story Of progress and human achievements
battle with nature in her sternest and most
forbidding aspect.
Future writer's will record the irrigation
movement epoch in our history the far
reaching influence of which oyershadowed in
Importance any other progressive movement
since the opening to settlement OF the Missis-
sippi valley. The reclamation of vast areas
of our arid and semi-arid regions, which is
being promoted by the federal government and
by large corporations working in conjunction
with several states, is OF profound economic
Importance to the nation.
The additional opportunities thus created
for home makers are already serving to check
the undesirable efflux of the country people to
the city. Millions of acres OF desert I'M
leached by rain and storing in its bosom the
fertility gathered there by centuries of wash
ings from hills and mountains, are being
quickened by life-giving water.
Cities, populous and great have sprung up;
rural communities, attractive and prosperous,
broad vistas Of fertile fields and poisoning
orchards whose yields are prolific beyond COM
parison, replace the wastes OF sand and sage
brush.
Economic forces are at work today in the
country, and particularly In the arid west,
which are gradually but surely shaping our
many parts of the irrigated country agricul-
ture now occupies position of greater dig
nifty among the vocations than ever before.
Its place among the scientific professions is
now recognized and 1t is calling more strongly
every day for the best talent and brains
