Saturday Morning, Nov. 8, 1890. A BANEFUL POLICY. That governmental policy, by whatever name it may be called, which concentrates the wealth of a country in the hands of the few is a baneful policy. It may be called a protective tariff, subsidies for special purposes, bounties, or something else, but every dollar which comes to the beneficiaries in that way comes out of some one else, and while it contributes to that extent to enrich them, it to the same extent tends to the' impoverishment of those who have to pay it. The man who is com pelled to pay one man two dollars for an article which he could buy from some other man for one dollar, is robbed of one dollar to benefit the man to whom he is forced to pay it. It is not the less robbery because it is done in accordance with legislative enactment. No legislative body on earth has the right to take one man's money for the benefit of another man, and when that thing is done it is done not by right but by usurpation. Nor has any government on the face of the earth the right to tax one in dustry for the benefit of another, to crush one that another may survive and prosper. It might with equal justice claim the right to levy tribute upon one religious denomination to support another, as is done in somepf the mo larchical governments on the others' le of the ocean. The.e is not an Am rican, whatever his religious or poli cal affiliations may be who. would (tot pronounce this the sheer est des Mjtism. The principle under lying o ;ejis the, same as the princi ple und irlying the other, that is tak ing fro n from one man something which hi has earned and which be longs t ) him to give to another man who has not earned it, and to whom it does not belong, giving him some thing for nothing, and taking from the other and giving him nothing in return. This is "precisely what the so-called protective tariff does, what subsidies and bounties do. Such a policy does not enrich the country, although it may stimulate industries, for it simply takes the money from one" man's pocket and puts it into the pocket of another. We talk about the increased wealth of our country and point to the great fortunes of some very rich men, the increased production of our Manu facturing industries, and of our farms as an evidence of this increased wealth, but much of this is an increase on paper merely, estimated valua tions, and has no real existence in 'r fact. The invention of machinerv has wonderfully increased the capacity for production, in factory, shop and on the farm, but neither is this aiv evidence of wealth for the greater the production, unless where combines oi trusts are o rmed to keep prices up, the lower the prices. The farmer who raises 1,000 bushels of wheat and o can market it for no more than fifty cents a bushel, is no better off than the farmer who raised 500 bushels and sold it for $1 a bushel, nor so well off. So with the factory and the shop. Increased production is not necessarily an evidence of in creased wealth. So we hear xf the increased value of our farming lands, when as a matter of fact, many of them have not really increased in value at all. A piece of property which.is not held for speculative pur poses, is worth just what it produces, or yields in the way of wheat, no more.'' Values are largely fictitious, and many a farm is valued and assessed at $100 an acre which wouldn't produce crops enough, ac cording to the average of prices for some years past, to pay the interest on that amount of money, a fact which is proven by the millions of dollars of mortgages upon American farms which never can be paid out of the products of these farms. A very considerable part of the $60, 000,000,000 of wealth with which the American people are credited is wealth on paper, which has an ex istence in facj. The farming lands of this country constitute a consid erable portion of these $60,000,000, 000, and yet thousands of farms are not worth as much to-day as they were ten or twenty years ago, and those who own these are poorer than they were ten or twenty years ago. many of these, under tbv- policy which concentrates wealth into the hands of the few, and passing out of the hands of the owners into the hands of the favored ones, and where the)' were owners become simply tenants. This is one of the results of this banefuJ 'policy, mis called a "protective tariff." MINOR MENTION. The so-called census gotten up by Mr. Porter and his subordinates is an original work in several respects. The more it is studied the more striking its origiuality becomes. No other census superintendent ever made the remarkable discoveries which Mr. Porter made. Aside from the fact of the astonishing decrease in the birthrate, he has made the still more astonishing discovery that this decrease is found in the Demo cratic States, while the Republican States hold their own and go on in creasing and multiplying about as usual. He does not pretend to account for this remarkable con dition of affairs by tracing it to climate, water, diet, mode of life, increase in the number of old bach lors, old maids or anything of that sort, but states itdiy so, and letsTfie public go prospecting around for the reason. Twenty Democratic States, which in 18S0 contained more than half the population of the United States show a-total increase in ten years of only 4,988,114, while the twenty-four Republican States have 7,105,795. This would be for them a percentage of 29.48, as compared with 30.08 per cent, in the previous census, which shows but a slight fall ing off. But the per cent, in the Democratic States is only 19.64. The falling off in the Republican States is only 0.60 from the census of '80, while in the twenty Democratic States it is 10.34 per. cent. Is any body in this country idiot enough to believe this? " There is one thing that a very large majority of the people of the United States said last Tuesday, and said it with an emphasis never before equalled in this country, that is that they don't want the McKinley tariff. This was one of the clear-cut issues in the canvas-, so conceded bv. every one. This being so, in obedience to the demands of the sovereign people, one of tne first duties of the 52d Congress will be to make an honest and equitable revision of the tariff that will meet the views and com mand the respect and support of the American people. Such a bill, in view of the recent popular verdict, would stand a good chance of pass ing the Senate, for the Republican majority in that body will be reduced by four or five, while there are six or seven Republican Senators who were known to be opposed to the McKin ley bill. Three of these, Plumb, Paddock and Pettigrew, voted against it, and others voted for it not be cause it met their judgment, but as a party necessity as it was then de- clared to be. In the lighfof recent events they would be more apt to' exercise their own judgment, if -they had i.t to do oyer again. But if the Senate should decline to pass the bill it would throw upon it the re sponsibility of refusing to grant re lief to the burdened people in the face of their imperative demand. The New York Tribune said a few days before the election that if the Democrats captured the next House it would be 'faccepted as evidence of fraudulent practices,", would", em phasize the necessity of the passage of the Force, bill, and would bring to the support of that measure many Congressmen who have hesitated about it. This was a confession Tn advance that the only hope of the Republican party was in the Force bill. But when the scribe of the Tribune wrote thus he was expect ing a solid South, and only a gain of afew Democrats in the - North, and then the charge would doubtless be m-ade'of "fraudulent practices," but now in the light ot the grand Demo cratic sweep Norths South, East and West, the "fraudulent -practice" allegation won't be in order, and neither will the Force bill. As des perate as some of the Republican managers are they will hardly have the effrontery to hurl an insult of that kind into the teeth of the Amer ican people now. CURRENT COMMEN" Two mouths ago the Census Bureau gave an estimate of the pop ulation of the country, from the re turns received, indicating a total of 64,211,264. The official figures now put forth reduce this nearly 2,000, 000. As a depopulator Porter beats war and pestilence. N. Y. World, Dem. - -The census should be in no sense partisan. It is a question into which party politics should never en ter, and the President's mistake was in choosing so narrow and bitter a partisan as Porter for the position of Superintendent. Porter brought par tisanship into the office and assured failure by doing so. N. O. Times Democrat, Dem. About 'GS.OOO.OOO is all the population which the country is to be credite&Mvith this year. This is probably nearly, if not quite 2,000, 000 short of the actual number. However, the increase which will be revealed in 1900 will be " especially great because of this omission, for it is scarcely likely that the next cen sus will be as inadequate as this has been. St. Louts Globe-Democrat, Rep. An old Scotch ballad makes a fisherman say of herring" that "wives and mothers oft despairing call them lives of men. ' The dan gerous character of the fishing in dustry everywhere is shown by the fact that during the last twelve months eighteen vessels engaged in it have been lost from the port of Gloucester, Mass., alone, entailing a loss -of eighty-six lives. Phil. Re cord, Dem. TWO BIG APPLES, n Something About Colorado's Fruit Possi bilitiea. Denver News. . Dr. Alexander Shaw, the Secretary of the Colorado State Horticultural Society, has iust returned from his annual six weeks' trip through the State. Talking about the fruit crop, he said: "There are, by the State Engineer's compilations, about 400,- 000 acres of land in Colorado that may be rendered arable by the sys tem of irrigation which is at present only in its infancy, and, if any prac ticable means can be arrived at by which water for this purpose" can be obtained, Colorado will be enabled to occupy and use a greater area of land for agricultural and horticul tural products than is to be had in the combined area of New York and Pennsylvania. I have been engaged in this business for seven years. On my first trip I think there were about fifteen orchards in the State represented at the State Fair, which furnished a display of about seventy-five varieties of fruit. At the last fair I attended there were only nine counties represented, yet there were 2,000 plates of fruit on exhibition: Apples, 200 varieties; peaches, 54 varieties; pears, 34 varie ties; plums, 17 varieties, among which there were a number of the finest foreign varieties, which were produced in greater quantities and possessed a more pronounced flavor than those in the old country. Of these I remember especially the French and German plums which are so much used in making the high grade of prunes; apricots, 10 varie ties; quinces, 2 varieties; strawber ries, 3 varieties; nectarines, 2 varie ties; grapes, 45 varieties making a total of 367 varieties of fruits. "The most wonderful part of this result is that a very large, if not the largest, portion of it was produced in a tract of the State which a few years ago was given over to the cat tle kings for grazing purposes, a tract of land where one head of cat tle required forty acres for his separ ate use. Just as fast as water for ir rigating the lands is to be had, just so soon are the lands occupied, and the wonderful growth of horticul ture in the State is illustrated by the area of acreage now under cultiva tion. It is a very safe and conser vative estimate to place the total horticultural acreage at 4,100 acres. "Of two sample apples raised in Colorado, one from Delta county is the Alexander, a Russian variety named after the Czar; it weighs an even pound, and is 15 inches in cir cumference. The-other is called the Rhode Island Greening, and is one of the oldest and best-known varie ties ever produced in the United States; it weighs one ounce short of a pound." WHY HE SWORE- Vi Mr. Billus Rashly' Bandies Conundrums . With His Wife. v j . Chicago Tribune. . Loud blew the night winds. Mo notonously rasped the early autumn katydid. ,And yearningly yowled the abandoned and shameless cat on the roof of the coal shed. "Maria," observed Mr. Billus, as he Leaned back in his easy chair and looked contemplatively at his wife, "your nose reminds me of an in teresting novel, my dear." "Why so, John?" she inquired. "Because it is red to the very" end. Hoarsely murmured the night winds, perseveringly scraped the katydid and wilder grew the wail of the melancholy cat on the coal shed. Mrs. Billus sat in silence, listening to the weird voices of the night, her hands folded in sublime contentment and her eyes wandering from her husband's countenance to the shadow of his profile moving up and down on the wall as the flame in the cozy grate opposite fitfully rose and fell. "John," she said at last, "the color of your nose reminds me somehow of the government of Louisiana." "In what respect, Maria?" "Because," she answered, softly, "it takes a lot o' rye to keep it up." Mr. Billus thoughtfully rubbed his nose and listened awhile in pensive silence to the mournful night winds, the voice of the insistent katydid and the despairing yowl of;the ostracised cat in the back yard. "And that reminds me, Maria," he said, reaching out for another chair to rest his feet on, "that if I hadn't married you, my dear, you would probably hve been for the rest of your life like a lottery ticket after the drawing. "Why ?" . "Because you would have been all torn up, my dear." "It wouldn't have made any dif ference. John," said Mrs. Billus, sweetly. "I drew a blank anyhow.' "You. did, my love," said Mr. Billus, his voice trembling with tenderness, "a blank fool. "And it would have been better for me, perhaps," she went on, plaint tively, "if I had been like a news paper with lottery. advertisements in it. "Why so, madam?" "Because," replied Mrs. Billus, looking placidly into the fire, "then I should have been excluded from the males." Mr. Billus got up and went out, and as Mrs. Billus sat looking dream ingly at. the dancing flames and listening to the sobbing night winds and the guttural refrain of the katy did she could distinctly hear Mr Billus swearing and throwing stones at the cat. IRON FROM SAND. How it is Extracted from Sea Sand. Among the numerous magnetic separators, one of the most remark able is that for the extracTion of iron from the sea sand. It is stated that ordinary sea sand contains from o to 7 per cent, of iron enough to give a large excess over cost of extraction. The machine consists of a cylinder, whose surface is composed of electro-magnets, re volving on the inside of an endless canvas belt. The sand is fed to the belt, and a spray of water separates the particles, the iron being retain ed by the powerful electromagnets, ana carried oft on the belt to a re ceptacle at the other end, while the sand tails into the trough below. FACTS ABOUT COTTON. Dr. Richard Wheatley writes in Harper's Weekly: The green-seed, or short stanle. cotton ( Gassvfiium , , v Jr hirstutn) was principally cultivated Detore tne Revolution, l hen came the tawny or 'ray-seed, probably of Mexican origin. The black-seed, or Sea Island, cotton Gossypium barba dense) which was introduced into Georgia from the Bahamas about the year 1786. In 1795 thanks to Whitney's- cotton-gin the exports of American cotton were, 6,000,000 pounds, and in 1801 20,000,000 pounds. POLITICAL POINTS. The common belief is that matrimony and immigration had in creased our population from 31,000,000 to 65,000,000, but Mr. Blaine says it was "twenty-nine years of protection." N. Y. World, Dem. It is a bad symptom that in this era of Civil Service reforn the cen sus of the United States should, for the first tkne in the history of the country, be Questioned. There is discourap-ino- evidence in it that it was the partisan action ot a President pledged to disre gard partisanship in such matters that has wrought this serious injury. Boston Herald, Dem. In short, from top to bottom, the.Federal service in this city has been brought back into party , politics. The reforms which were effected by Mr. Saltonstall and Mr. Fitzgerald under President Cleveland's Administration have been nullified in less than a vear of Republican control of the offices, and the pretense of Civil bervice reform bv this party has been shown to be a mockery. Boston Post, Dem. "Of what use," asks Speaker Reed, "is it that everything be made cheapand a man has not got a dollar?" it is none, but it he has the dollar it makes a large difference. The Demo cratic party proposes to give him the dollar and the cheap goods, too. .The Republican party strips him, turns him loose in the world, and tells him to cease bothering it with his complaints. -Louisvtlle courier-journal, Dem.
