THLE | ALTGELD'S NEW ARGUMENT. l LTGELD of Illinois, who is reputed to carry under his hat the brains of the Bryan move- ment, was the principal speaker at a rally of | the Yale Democratic Club on Wednesday evening.. As { he is regarded as the greatest intellectual force in his | party, and has long had a national reputation, it was | naturai the young collegians should look to him for { leadership and enlightenment. It is probable, how- ever, they were greatly disappointed by what they heard. Altgeld gave them a new argument, indeed, but not one calculated to appeal to the reason of in- | telligent people. It was not only weak,'but, coming as | it did from a man who has been for years a iree trader | and a iree silver advocate, it had all the marks of in- | sincerity and demagogy. The argument of the speaker was that trusts are de- | vouring the substance of the people, and that as a con- sequence we are no longer able to consume what we produce. He is reported as saying: “Years ago we had a home market which consumed all of our manu- factured products, and our factories ran day and night. | This home market has been destroyed by destroying the purchasing power of our people. In proportion to | population our people are not consuming much more than half what they formerly did. If the purchasing power of our people were restored to what it once was this would restore our home market, and the product of our mills could again be sold at home. Consider | what increased employment and activity this would give our business men at home! If $500,000,000 worth more of goods were to be bought by our own people at home, this would give genuine prosperity. As it is, this amount of goods goes abroad every year in ex- | cess of imports and disappears. We have scarcely | anything to show for it. And the little that comes back does rot reach the masses, but goes to a few syncicates.” The collegians of Yale are young and their knowl- edge of party politics is limited, but even the fresh- men among them are doubtless aware that a few years ago, when the free traders were fighting for control of the Government, they spoke mockingly of the | home market, clamored for the foreign market, ridi- culed the idea that we could get rich by trading with one another, and insisted that the only way by which we could assure prosperity was to tear down the pro- [ tective tariff and increase our imports and exports, paying no attention whatever to the claims of work- ingmen for good wages, or to what the free traders | derided as the “supposed” advantages of the home | market. | To those who have any memory of the arguments Altgeld was wont to make when supporting free trade | Iis tirade before the Yale club will appear about the | grossest inconsistency that has been obtruded' upon | the public during the campaign. Altgeld now holds | that the home market is the thing of supreme value, | that it is only by increasing home consumption that | we can get rich, and that the surplus exports abroad re present property that has been almost completely | wasted and lost. i *$3500,000,000 worth of goods goes abroad | every vear in excess of imports and disappears”; that | “we e scarcely anything to show for it.” Is it | possible any studewt of Yale could be deceived hy| a statement? The veriest tyro in affairs must be | | He says vare that the goods we send abroad are paid for in me way and that the payment adds to our wealth. | The value of the excess of exports over imports must | be settled by the foreign purchaser. A good portion of the balance is required to defray the cost of ocean transportation, and it will continue to be so until we | build np an American. merchant marine equal to the needs of our commerce, but the rest represents sav- ings in one form or another. It may have come back to us in American bonds and securities hitherto held | in Europe, or in some other way not noted in the | records of the custom-house, but it comes unfa | lingly. Wer# it not so we would soon cease to ship goods. Equally absurd is the contention of Altgeld that “the little that comes back does not reach the | masses, but goes to a few syndicates.” There is no such difference of classes in this country as that im- plies. The activity of trade requires the payment of wages to the workers in all lines of industry. profits we have gained from our exports are at once set to work in this country in the task of producing more goods. For a man who has the reputation of Altgeld the Yale address comes surprisingly near being nothing more than a silly stump speech. PROBLEMS OF THE @RID REGION, | S East publishes from a first-class authority an | larticle dealing with the arid regions of this part of | the continent and explaining some at least of tha | complex problems of irrigation. It is therefore grati- fying that the current number of Outlook contains a valuable discussion of the subject by Elwood Mead, one of the men best fitted to undertake the campaign of education needed to bring Eastern people to a clear understanding of the problem and its impor- tance to the Union. Mr. Mead points out that laws regulating water rights must be quite different in the arid regions from those prevailing elsewhere. Thus he says: “In a country where streams must be destroyed in order that people may live the common law doctrine of riparian rights so universally recognized in all the States of the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi Valley has no place. The necessities of tlimate are inexorable. Where crops cannot be grown by rain- all alone, to insist that streams shall continue to flow ‘undiminished in quantity’ is to condemn the lands along their banks to perpetual barrenness. . This is so contrary to common sense that, with or with- |out la treams are being appropriated, diverted and used.” Large districts of country in the arid region have | been settled up without a full understanding of the | problems of irrigation, and as a consequence there is | row a coniusion of laws and rights which seriously ! retard the development of the country. Govern- | mental supervision will be required to straighten out the complications and devise a means whereby the sircams may be used to the greatest advantage of the greatest number. Mr. Mead says: “It is now mani- | | fest that the first step in Western settlement should | have been the meagurement of streams and the in- | auguration of a system for the recording and protect- | ing of rights to their use as complete in its operation s the existing system for the disposal of public lands, !% % * Nothing resembling this has been attempted. | At the outset the whole subject was neglected because its importance was not appreciated.” It appears that under even the best regulations we can never obtain from the streams of the arid region sufficient water to irrigate and reclaim much more than a comparatively small fraction of the whole amount of land capable of reclamation were the water forthcoming. Along every stream there will be tracts of irrigated and tructs of unirrigated land. The water will be worth a great deal more than the soil, and there will be an immense difference in the value of lots with water rights and those without it. Thus in 1 he OMETHING is done for the benefit fof the West whenever a newspaper or magazing in the A right attached is worth $500, while an acre of the same kind of land alongside it without a water right is not worth fifty cents. - Despite the’ complexity and the difficulty of the problems involved in the subject, Mr.- Mead is hope- ful of their rightful solution. Water rights must be controlled by some power capable of thorough su- pervision. ‘h must be either a control by corporations or by co-operation, and that issue is being fought out with an intensity of feeling commensurate with the value of the property to be controlled. Speaking of the results that may be expected from an extensive system of irrigation Mr. Mead says: “The healthfulness and charm of the arid region, and the remarkable profits of irrigated agriculture, make it inevitable that its valleys are soon to be the home of a dense population. The time is not far distant | when the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys of Cali- fornia will each support a million of ‘people. The Missouri and, its tributaries will, within the next half century, irrigate more acres than does the Nile to- day. In order to provide for this, the present hap- hazard development should give way to a system which will provide for the storage of floods, the pub- lic supervision of streams and the enactment of laws which will give permanently to each farmer his just share of the river on which the returns of his labor depend.” N solution of a law case containing two points. The first question to be determined is whether the deposit of a satchel and a bundle in a vacant seat in a smoking-car constitutes a valid title to it on the part of the depositor against any one who happens to enter the car while the depositor is out of the seat. Second, has a man who thus pre-empts a seat a right to pull the nose of any interloper who disregards the satchel and bundle and takes the seat to himself. A claim of that kind was recently made by a trav- eler in the metropolis. He entered the car, deposited his luggage and then stepped out to “see a friend.” When he returned the seat was occupied by another citizen. There was first a quiet debate on the rights of pre-emptors and the ethics of traveling, then an altercation, then came the nose-pulling, and after that came the’charge of assault and battery resulting in the lawsuit. i The lawyers of Kansas have a more complex case to deal with. It appears the Sheriff of one of the counties in that State recently allowed a man who had been convicted of selling liquor without a license to remain.with his family instead of serving his time in jail. At the expiration of the term the prisoner’s wife sued the Sheriff for the price of board and lodging for her spouse. She was awarded judgment for $21 6o, but the Sheriff has appealed to the District Court. The lack of any nose-pulling in the Kansas case renders it less interesting from a personal point of view than the New York controversy, but when con- sidered as an abstract proposition, without reference to the incidents that gave rise to it, the question is one of many fine points. What will be the decision of the District Court is a matter which should not at this time be subject to newspaper criticism. The press should not undertake to dictate to the courts in a case of that kind. It is, however, safe to say that no matter what be the decision of the court the Sheriff will never give occasion for another case of the kind, and it is therefore the more importayt that this one be settled right. SOME LAW PROBLEMS. EW YORK lawyers are just now engaged in the THE END OF A FOREST. RECENT report from Cadillac, Mich., says: “The last pine in Wexford County was cut last Saturday forenoon at Cumner & Diggin’s camp northwest of the city. What has for so many years been the chief industry of Cadillac and vicinity will soon be only a remembrance. This one tree was | left standing for several days in order that photo- graphs of it might be taken. There was® a large crowd in attendance upon the ceremonies incident to its destruction. It is said there are three or four large Arbor right of way, and therefore are not considered when speaking of timber cut for jumber.” By way of explaining the interest taken in the tres the report goes on to sa “Without a doubt during the past thirty years Wexford County has produced as much, if not more, pine lumber than any ofher county in the State. It has been the principal source of employment to the residents of Cadillac and the camps have furnished labor to many of the farmers of the county during the winter months, It will be only a short time now until all the pine logs that are boomed in Clam Lake will be cut, and then will be- gin the cut of hardwood, which promises to be nearly as long as the pine has been.” Here is an incident that should have been made the occasion of a sermon on forest preservation and tree- planting. The people of Wexford have destroyed the pine forests that gave them wealth and are now about to destroy the hardwood trees. They please them- selves with the prospect that the hardwood will last as long as the pines, and that, for the present, at any «ate, their interests are not greatly endangered. So leng as timber lasts woodmen and farmers will have work in cutting it down and the revenues from the sale will continue to flow into the county. Aiter the hardwood is gone there will remain some- thing else for the penple to do—emigrate. Had the people of Wexford been wise they would Lave so managed their pine forests that the last tree would never have been cut while civilization exists on this continent. They could have made their forests a source of perennial revenue, and one that would have increased instead of vanishing with the years. They have even now a chance to replant the pine lands while cutting down the hardwood, and thus assuring the future as well as cnjoying the present. It is safe to say, however, they will not do it. In a few years Wexford will among the almost treeless counties of the United Sfates, and then more evils than a mere lack of woodland and lumber camps will come upon the community. It is easy for us to perceive the folly of Wexford, but we are about as ioolish ourselves. We are wast- ing our woods as fast as mills and fires can des&roy' them. Perhaps the day is not far distant when in some California county the people will gather to see the last redwood fall. We are following the path taken by Michigan, and our pace is rapid. If we are ever going to halt we should halt now. b derived It may have been a coincidence merely, but the re- port that Bryan lost his hat from the railway train the other day and that at the next station his voice sounded hoarse and broken sounds like confirmation of the popular belief that the silver orator-cannot talk well except when talking through his hat.
