Tenant Farnttntr. Why should not the American system of tenant farming be abolished? asks a corresiondent of the Prairie Farmer. It Is already a fruitful source of wrong nnd n menace to free Institutions, de throning the goddess of justice and supplanting ber with the goddess of greed, keeping In a state of servility our disinherited fellow-farmers, many of whom were robbed of their birthright before they were born, when their right ful heritage was given to the railroad magnates, who In turn have robbed and uow continue to rob their beneficiaries. the people, by exorbitant rates. We, the surplus landowners, both rural and urban, hold In our grasp the destiny of this republic for weal of woe. Then why not heal the mortal disease that Is gnawing at her vitals? My twenty-flve yenrs under monarchy convinces me that the landlord nnd the renter system s the blight nnd deatbknell of republics nnd the bulwark of monnrehles.

The first thing that "comes over" Is gas, which Is used as a fuel In the works. Next, tho vnrylng grades of naphtha; next (the product becomlnj heavier nnd heavier all tho time), the gasoline grndes, then tho low-test kero- seues, then tho high-grade kerosenos. Then comes a long list of heavier oils, ending with the heaviest and thickest of lubricants. There Is left In tho tank pnrnflluo nnd a black dense, sticky substance which Is little moro than as phalt.
