THE TIMBER CULTURE ACT RE
- PEALED.
It waa a foregone conclusion sonie
months ago that the timber-culture
a;t would be repealed, says the "San
- Francisco Bulletin. When it wan en
. acted there were the strongest expecta
tions that it would accomplish great
things. It was hoped that by this
means the treeless plains would be re
forested; that a vast area, destitute cf
timber, would be planted, and that on
' overy quarter-soction taken under this
act by private parties, forests would
spring up on some part. The tininer
planting shows no adequate relation to
the vast amount of land taken up un
dor the act. Thus, up to June, 1888,
there had been entered under this law
no less than 38,088,506 acres. The
proportion of planted area, if the la
had been strictly observed, would LaveJ
been 2 380,030 acrea The claimants
had ten years to prove up their claims
but when the proofs were in hardly
more than 50,000 acres were shown to
have been covered with trees.
Probably a much greater area had
been actually planted, but the trees
having been neglected, died. More
over, it was a much more expensive
matter to cultivate timber tracts on
these dry lands than many had sup
posed. There was no water for irri
gation. The occupants were too poor
ts lead water on to the land, even if
it had been within easy distance. A
great deal of the land thus taken up
passed into the hands of speculators.
The title was perfected in some other
way. But this reforesting, which
turned out to be a failure, or nearly
bo, has accomplished some good. Thou-
. sands who took up homesteads planted
trees on their own account, making no
c'aiui to title because of any such im
. provement
It is remarkable that while the gov
ernment has devised what were theo
retically the most beneficent series of
law, not more than one or two acts
have been found to work in a satis
factory way. The timber culture act
is only one illustration. The desert-
land act is another, and the pre-emption
act also "may be cited, although
this for years wii-thdught to be the
perfection of a land law. The act
allowing the purchase of timber land
from the govern me at appeared to be
a good law on its face. But that law
was made to play into the hands of
syndicates, and in time thousands of
acres of the best timber land on the
Pacific coast fell into the hands of for
eign capitalists Ihe only act con

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
When the people of the Unitfd
States returned a majority of protec
tionibts to congress they did so upon
the express understanding that this
ropjmity should remodel the tariff.
These tariff changes were not to be
made after the bill prepared by Mr.
Milld, of iexas, which manner was
acceptable to the free-traders, but
after such a manner that it should not
be acceptable to any free-trader.
This was the issue clean cut and clear
it was presented to the people
everywhere in the campaign of 1889.
The way and means committee has
done its work fairly well, it has been
fair to all alike and above all it has
remodeled the tariff on those lines of
protection which were indicated in the
party platform before election. Says
the New York Herald, 'lt is the most
perfect piece of political honesty we

from 1 cent to 1 J cent per pound, and
an increase on dried or smoked meats

Lard, tiied or rendered, is raised from
2 cents to 3 cents per pound, and lard
untried from 1 cents to 2 cents.
Apples, which were formerly free, are
