In fact, In the wholesale trade the depression, consequent on gloomy re r,nrt from the country, continue. Tuere Is very Uttle demand In the way of country stocks, and goods that are bought are chiefly absolute neces sities of life. Caution is bow the word with caun- Ijdealcrs, and economy amonz rural customers fast becoming the rule, forced by the untoward in-nniamnrea of the season. In the grain and orovision trado, however, a fair business has lxen done, and the city trade has been moderate, but restricted chiefly to Btaples and articles of prime necessity.

In the first he uses Assemblyman Crosby's objection to a labor holiday as a pegBpon which to hmg his land thejry, nnd then declares until labor -own lauds the laborer can never be free. He snys: There was more than he intended in Assrmhh man Crosby's objection to the la bor holiday bill that labor ought to have no holiday until it is free. With the bigotry nnd ignorance that characterize his cla-s, he intended to sneer at labor organiza tions, which, in imitation of Mock ex changes, medical socities, lawyer's trade unions, nnd ho on. undertake to regulate the supply and price of laber by associa tion; but his word apply with renter force a thousand fold to the power over labor of his own class.

TRY ALIENS BEFORE ADOPTVXO EM. The San Antonio Express editorially says the following: "Tbe Illinois legis lature has finally passed a bill preventing aliens holding real estate. A declaration of citizenship, however, gives the right. If any alien now holding fails to dispose of the property during his lifetime, upon his death it escheats to the state. Pretty Fteep law that." Far from thinking it a "steep law," reflection will prove that it is a wise and con servative measure. For, take as true Henry George's view of the land question, thoroughly right to this extent, that man's ownership of the soil U the closest tie that binds him to a state or country. Man's possession of real estate gives a flxidity to his position acquired in no other way. Without such possesion he is merely a migratory bird, that can take wing with all his belongings at any moment, upon any pretext and with no peouniary loss to himself. Attach him to the sail, by such an interest as ownership, and yon make him...
