They retaliated by selling out to lumbermen. Steno graphers, clerks, women and chil dren, after spending a summer on "timber and stone claims" with their expenses paid by local lumber agents bought in their claims at $2.50 an acre, with money advanced by tho lumbermen, who perhaps added another $2.50 for profit to themselves. Wo invited perjury, en couraged theft; hecauso wo knew that lumbering Is a matter of "big corporations" and big tracts of tim ber. Thus, we sold stumpago at $2.50 per acre that was worth over $15, and much of it over $100 per acre. Under tho Stone and Timber Act wo lost $70,000 every day, and what we lost as a nation was gained by a few individuals. Wo sold from five to fifty thousand feet of white pine, such as cannot now be bought for any price, at $1.25 an acre, when each tree on it should have paid our National Government $1.25 to make our taxes that much less or perhaps our political stealings that much more. " Wo Invited our own corrupt fortunes. We prepared for our own American "unrest." Wo framed infamous "dead and down" timber laws, so that a lumber man might take a torch and smoko slightly the butt of any pine tree on an Indian reservation, and then go and cut it "legally." Ono Minnesota firm harvested $1,300,000 worth of pine for which it paid less than $200,000 stumpage. It Is better to hope and to work tlinn to grumble and quarrel and shlrk.
