The ineoiisittwy of Dcirocraoy as well a tlieir liyxxrisy 141011 the monoKily question, was ful'y illtis- tratcd in the position taken by !ov. j (Jrovcr on the Swamp Land Swin-, die in Iris speech in th't place upon WedncMlay night oflast week. He ' there said it was far letter for one ' man l. ,,,,-n lor, nnautitiaa ,.f nan to own largo quantities ot swamp land than for the same land; to be owned by manv. 1 re iMfoksd , the case of Goose l.'ake, we believe it was, a bodyol some sixty thou i and acres of overflowed lands, and j . , . ,,, ., ... i said it would k vastly more profit- tly more proht able to the State for one man to own it, or other similar bodies ot swamp lands, than tor a dozen or more men to own them. He thought where the one man power prevailed, the lands were much more likely to lie drained and rendered available for agricultural purposes. He pro nounced the Swamp Land law of i!,is Siftta as the K'sf, in t.hppiMintrv because it disposed of large bodies of land to individuals, and brought i ,, .i e.. one dollar an acre into the State x. . , , . . , Ircasuiv. ow, it the principle of monopoly is good in one thing, why not in another?

Why do they say no more large grants ot public lands from the General Government to individual speculators, if it is so Ijoueficial a thing here in Oregon? The fact is, the furor raised against ITollflday as a monopolist, is only in tended to distract the attention from the real character of the swamp land monopoly.
