From a BunchgrQsscr.
Over one hundred nnd fourteen years
ago, the American colonies, the then em
bryo United Stii'es, deolared nil men free
aud equal and with unulienable rights.
fhe oppressed colonies had experienced
the hand ot tyranny from the "mother
countty." They were taxed to ruin,
without any right of representation, N'
part of the law-making was delegated to
hem, and it fell hard upon the strng
gling resideuts of the land, "Inch formed
no more Ihau a fringe of the now great
republic Then followed the revolution
with which every American is familiar.
ind which had in the background the
might of injured freedom, more than the
power ot men. It was phenominal iu
every detail, and the world woudered a
i lie success ol a uuudlu! of meu against
the strongest nation on earlh.
For over eighty years, the republic en
joyed taxation with representation'
Statesmanship ranked higher than pom
poaity, backed by the power of money
The halls of congress were filled with
thinkers, rare and able. Then appeared
the war-cloud. The nation was forcei
o meet the exigencies of the oocasiou by
putting soldiers in the field. This
quired mouey. Wall Street w as then, as
t is now, a power in finance ami gracious.
1 (?) and patriotically (?) made loaus ol
old to the distressed government at
ale of inury from 'li to 36 per oent
fluid had the advantage, and took it; bit
who, in the end, have paid for this iuor
dinate greed?
On February 12, 1861, the government
unable to submit to the demands uf those
who had a corner on the wealt
t the laud, a greater foe thu
was met in Dixie, issued SSUU.UUU.UuU
'reasuiy notes, not bearing interest an
payable tor all debts, public aud private
there was no exoeption clause on th
issue, uud they were at par with gold
and tins gave relief to the needy govern
ment and the depleted pockets of the
people. But it did not suit those who
bad gathered iu the silver uud gold. The
bankers must do sometliiug, and four
days after the act to supply the g veru
ment with a good and legal money, a
bauker's convention was held iu Wash
ington, consisting of delegates from the
banks of New York, Philadelphiu aud
Boston. Something must b done to
again elevate gold to its usurous throne'
Thev must have control of congress,
Everything moved along smoothly for
a year, but there it ended. By an net of
Oongreas, February 2-, '02, the exception
clause was added to the greenback of
future issues. All are familiar nith its
stipulations. It was a legal-tender for
all debts, public and private, except
duties on inports and interest on the
public debt. From that time heno forth
all issues of greenbacks bore this excep
tion clause.
During the nr the cotton and sugar
crop ot the South ns cut off, and was.
of necessity, imported from other ooun
tries. The duty on sugar was 7H per
cent, und the premium on gold about 185
percent. In other words, it took $2r in
greenbacks t- buy $10.) in gold. The
importer had to pay the duty in gold;
that is, on every lll(J in gold the
oo pi ul is t made $185. with which he
could buy bonds, just the same as though
it was tile gold of the realm. It was
legal lender for the rich mail, and a de
preciated currency fur tho poor man.
How is that? Well, to use an illustra
tion which is not nt nil origiual, the
seventy-six oetils import duty cost the
importer two hundred and sixteen cenls
in greenbacks, or in reality 216 per eeut.,
or 140 per rent more than he would have
paid had it not been for the infamous ex
oeption claiiHo. As the gold shark could
buv bonds with this net gain in Ins fuvor,
it went to his plethoric purse, and was
added to the selling price of the sugar
Thus
ment nut
getting one lent out of it. This depred
ated currency was laid at the door of the
Northern "copperliends," who, it was
said, made it unstable by their howling
ngaiiift the administration. Why uot
the that issue then? Because it was as
good as gold, aLd gold could place it ut

OENKRAL LAND OFPICB,

RegUtcrf and Receivtrs of
VitiWl Stata Land Office):
Sins: -Your nttentiou is called lo the
provisions of an aot of oongress entitled:
An aot lo forfeit certain lands hereto
fore granted for the purpose of aiding in
the construction of railroads, and for
her purposes," approved September 29,
18b0, a oopy of which is hereto attached,
containing eight sections.
The first seotion provides for the for
feiture of nil lands heretofore granted to
any state or to nuy corporation to aid in
he construction of n railrond opposite to
ind coterminous with the portion of any
such railroad not now constructed and
in operation, and declares the lands for
feited to be a part of the public domain,
except, however, from the forfeiture the
ght of way and station grounds hereto
fore granted.
The second seotion provides Hint all
persons who, at the date of the passage
of this aot, are actual settlers in
good faith on any ot the hinds forfeited
and are otherwise qualified, on making
lue claim on said lands under the home-
lead law within six months after the
passage of this act, sh ill be entitled to a
preference right to enter the same nnder
the provisions uf the homestead law and
this act, and shall be regarded ns actual
settlers from the date of aotuul sett le
nient or occupation.
.t is dear that this clause ot the seo
tion allows tne aotuul settler, it qualfied,
to make a homestead entry of the traot
upon which he had made settlement and
this at a perfereuoe right to be exer-
sed withiu six mouths utter the pas-
aagetif the act.
It is futher provided by said seotion
thut any person wh i has not heretofore
had the benefit of the homestead or pre-
eiuptiuu law, or who hud failed from any
cause to perfect the title to a traot of
land heretofore eutered by him nuder
either of said Iuwf, may make a second
homestead eulry under the provisions ot
this act.
The language of this obtuse ot the sec
tion authorizing "a second homestead
entry" refers only to those persons who
have heretofore made a homestead entry,
but failed from any cause to perfect the
same.
In other words, the object of this
clause is to allow any oue qualified, who
bad not theretofor secured n piece of
land under the homestead law, to obtain
a traot of these forfeited lauds under
that law, and at the same tune to tuke
these lands out ot the operation of the
pre-emption law.
No pre emption entry will, thrctofore
be permitted for these lands, and ap
plicant under the homestead laws will
he required to make oath that they have
not theretofore scoured a pieoe of land
uiid -r the homestead law, and if an entry
has been made under said law that was
not for any reason perfeoted, the fuots in
relation then t should be fully set forth.
The third section provides; That lu
all oases where persons, being citizens of
the Uuited States, or who have declurej
I hair intentions to become such, iu ac
cordance with the naturalization laws ot
the United Slates, are in possession ot
any of the land affected by auy such
grant, and hereby resumed by and re
stored to the United Slutes. under deed,
written contract with, or lioense from
the state or oorporution to which such
grant was made, or its assignees executed
prior to January first, eighteen hundred
nnd eighty-eight, or where persons may
have setted said lauds with bona fide
intent to secure title thereto hy pur
chase from the stateor corporation, when
earned by compliance with the conditions
or requirements of the granting acts of
ootigiess, they shall be entitled to pur
ohasa the same from the United States,
in quantities not exaeding 320 sores
to any one such person, at the rats of one
dollar and 25 oents ptr acre, at any
time within two years from the passage
of this aot, and on making said paymeut
to receive puteuts therefore; and where
any snob person in actual possess-,
ion of any snoh lands, aud having Im
proved the same, prior to the first day ot
January, eighteen hnndred and ninety
