Bloomingdale, H., Jan. s-Spealxing in this city. Saturday, Senator La Toilette gave his attention to the land question, speaking as follows:
 originally the public domain of the United States amounted in round mum i bers 1.4O0sO00, 900 acres. Of this amount nearly all of the original do- main available for agriculture and the greater part of our mineral wealth outside of Alaska has been disposed more than roo, oOo, 900 acres. Of this amount inctviduals and corporations have acquired more than 571,000, 900 acres. Out of the 571.0oo, 900 acres disposed of to individuals and corpor- ations there have been acquired | through the exercise of the homestead right only 115.o00,Oo0 acres. The rail- roads and other corporations had be- slowed upon them by Congressional grants, without any return whatever to the Government, in round numbers, 123, ,0O0, 900 acres.
 ''In additEor to that, there has been conferred upon the railroads by, States grants lands heretofore granted by the Federal Government to the several States, increasing the total grant to 190, 900 900 acres of land-enough to make the States of Ohio, Indiana, IT, lfnois, Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin. And the Government, through it's ex- ecutive departments, has sold at a mere nomFnal price, in round numbers. 1892. .ooo, 900 acres.
 'The disposition of our mineral re- sources especially. and until recently our forests. forms shameful chapter in the history of our, Nation. These mineral resources belonged to all of the people. Tn the early history of our country this was recognized and we started out upon correct basic By an ordinance in 17sS the Gov ernment- reserved to Itself 'one-thfrd part of all gold. silver. lead, and cop per mines, to be sold or otherwise dis posed of as Congress shah hereafter direct In 1907 Congress authorised tho leasing of lead mines in Indiana Territory.
 "But nf1s2s cupidity and greed com menced to triumph, and the abandon ment of this policy began. The aban- donment became complete in 1895, when Congress repealed the leasing system of mineral lands and provided for their entire alienation Had the policy of leasing been continued. and applied to our coal, iron, oils and copper lands, and fands containing precious metals, with suitable pro vision and control. the revenue from that source alone would today be a1- most sufficient to defray all of the expenses of our National Government And what is more important. the trusts and monopolies which now exist and threaten the welfare of all of our people would not have been pos
