Send in what you want said to the public on this matter. . Free trade is the mother of high wages. Statistics prove that wages are always highest when importations are largest. This is true because if a Awl of goods come into our country from foreign countries, a flood of our goods must go out to pay for them ; and a flood of wages must go to the workman to pay him for producing those goods. And, under an existing condition of affairs like this, the things which we import will be things which we want and the things which we export to pay fer them will he things we have no use for. In favor of a tariff it may be said, The men not employed on goods we export are employed in making the things we would import under free trade. But suppose they are ; they are no betterpfjf ;they are as it is plainly evident that it is better to employ our workmen in those industries which the country' will naturally sustain and IP which we will naturJy they are many than to force them ipfo industries that have to be sustained artificially. It is always better to aid than to pervert nature. Again, our American tariff has always expended its main force pop materials wed by the pianufaeturer . The amount of finished manufactures imported has always been small. Jf it were possible to levy a heavy tariff on these latter and allow the former to ppnie into opr country free, then would a protective tariff be a blessing to the country. Thia would Be an ideal tariff, but at the same time It is an ideal The absurdity. only tariff which we ever had or ever can have is one which taxe the materials of manufacture fully as heavily as the finished manufacture themselves. How can a tariff, which spends its whole force in adding to the cost of manufacturing materials, help to raise the wages of men engaged in working up these materials? It deprives the manufacturer pi ability to pay natural wages by pinking the cost of his materials so jijgh that the margin between the coet and the price which he can get for hi goods is too small to leave him the power of paying high wages. There is a natural wage that laborers will get and a protective tariff jdwjes Jbat )vagp.

He will be obliged to employ twice as many workmen and pay higher wages whether he wants to or not. This principle applies in ail case although the figures may differ, and extended investigation will convince the inquiring mipd that free trade is the mother of high wages and that the United States is bound to become a free trade country and that she will continue under free trade as ivell as Bhe has done under protection, to be the best and most prosperous country on the globe. LAND REVIEW. GOPPS Fraudulent Entries Responsibility of Settle Efforts - of Land Department to Prevent, Almost ever since the passage of the law, the Congressional enactment intended to protect the poor man against tfie rich purchaser, and to secure homes for actual settlers, complaints have been rile respecting fraudulent land entries. desert The homestead, timber-culturland, and other laws Imve afforded additional opportunities, for the perpetration of frauds which have not been allowed to pass unused. Fom every quarter the erv of "fraud is heard in connection vyith disposals ol the public domain. So far as fraudulent entries under what am termed settlement laws are concerned, the people of every section have the remedy in their qwn hands. Tha acquirement of title to public land homeunder a fraudulent or cfrt-land- . stead, timber-culfurentry, is a matter of impossibility unless the transaction be winked at and the perpetrator of the fraud he aided and abetted by persons in the immediate neighborhood. Under nearly all of these laws the is required to publish notice of his intention to make final proof, naming the time when, the place where, and the officer before whom the proof will be submitted. If his entry has been fraudulently initiated, or if he has not complied with the requirements of the statute governing such cases, his neighbors surely knqw it and with very little trouble or expense they can, either before or on the day of making final proof, enter protest against the issuance of patent on the entry, which will put the government on inquiry, and in nine cases out of ten defeat the attempted fraud. But ilscemSthat the men who are willing to put themselves to a little inconvenience for the public good are very.scarce, as few if any protests, of this kind are filed for the sole purpose of protecting the public domain from spoliation. At of the protests entered least seven-tenth- s are the result of spite, neighborhood quarrels, or a desire upon the part ol the protestant to secure the land himself. Robbery of Uncle Sam by taking his lands without giving equivalent does not seem to be considered by the mass of the pople a very serious offense. Men who would fire guns, ring fiells, and rouse the whole country should they detect a thi ef with his hands in the national money vaults helping himsell, will, without concern, or smiling over the trick that is being played, witness the commission of perjury by three men, and a robbery of the people to the extent of a quarter of a sectipn of land valued at from $200 to e, e, . $400. Men who are known to have perjured with land connection themsplevs claims, either as principal or witness, so that 160 act es or less of land might be stolen the government, mingle freely in society and are honored and respected by thpjr fellow men, while the man who steals a horse front his neighbor is, by the cgptmunity, summarily hanged to the first tree. The government has in its employ special agents whose duty it is to invest-tigat- e fraudulent entries, and the Land Department is making every possible effort tq suppress and prevent frauds. Any citizen cognizant of an attempt to fraudulently acquire title to land may secure aq investigation and firing the offender to justice, by simply reporting the facts to the Commissioner of the General Land Office. Sa long as fiiey fail to do so, frauds will continue to be perpetrated, and the people must take the blame. . Henry N. Corr. in Dr. X. O. Minor, WOMEN AND MARRIAGE. RAILROADS. MRS. II. W.

WE THE UNDERSIGNED with bated breath and whispering humbleness for an advantageous offer ol marriage. The feelings of women are changing, and the old ideas as to women and their social functions can do longer be taken for granted. Woman is now a worker and a thinker and marriage for educated women is pnly one of many possible occupations; and educate ed women may be excused if they re-- , gard it the least desirable of them. A woman who becomes a teacher, who enters one of the professions, or takes a commercial position lives a fife of dignity and freedom. In politics, in literature, in science, in art and in social intercourse she has a thousand opportunities of distinction and pleasure which would, be denied her if she became a mother. She is not at the mercy of a mans moods and humors. She is not a nurse and a drudge, but for all practical purpose? a man and a citizen. She mixes freely with men; she profits by their conversation; she joins them in their enjoyment, with them in their and she social duties. Her life is a life of freedom, variety, energy and resource. Her character becomes strengthened by the demands upon her; her intellect is enlarged by the problems she is called upon to solve; and as new and more important duties devolve upon her she is qualified to accept them with courage, and discharge them with skill. In a word, y the educated women of prefer freedom and the friendship of men to the practical slavery of the marriage bond, and in proportion as other careers are opened up to them it may be safely said that the attractions of marriage will still further docreaso.
