A rat rreoIuecng Tree.
Dr. Stuhlman, who is traveling in
Africa, has come upon a tree whoso
fruit gives out a tallow-like fat. The
tree is one of the largest in the forest
of I'sambara, ant the fruit is big and
heavy, measuring a foot in length by
half a foot in diameter. It is a new
species of the guttiferi. The natives
call it mkani. but the botanists name
it stearodendron stuhliuanni.

e NEW ZEALAND AS DEPICTED
BY A REPRESENTATIVE MAN.
Popullt Ideas In Force - Government
Owe and Operates the Itallroads and,
Telegrapht-Free Land and No lto
nopulles of Corrup'ion.
The ('a!l (Seattle.)
Hon. A. ID. Willis of New Zealand. a
leading printer of that ..ountry anti a 1
member of the New Zealand parlia
me:at, stopped over night in this city, 1
homeward bound from England. Mr.
Willis has been absent from home
S,,:, r.tonths. having been on a bu:i
i, Irilp to (;ermany, England and the
t 'tl ( .tI ::ttes. Ho has been inspecting
Sthie latest linproved printing and ruling I
I 'achinery manufactured within the I
three above named countries. It is I
needtless to say that he has made part
of his purchases from American firms.
Fronm personal appearance one
aoould hardly select him as one of the
advisera of the best "poor man's coun
try" In the world. In size he is about
medlium, very compactly built, about 45
years oil, blue eyes, and wears mut- I
ton chop whiskers which with his hair
is slightly gray. But speak to him
about the latest work in the art of
printing, or, better still, about the gov
ernment of New Zealand: his eyes will I
immediately light up and you will find
that you are in contact with a man
Just chuck full of information and en- 1
ergy. When seen at the Hotel But- I
ler Saturday night by a representa
tive of the Call, he at first declined to
be interviewed, but when assured that
the government of New Zealand had
been much discussed of late in this part I
of the world and the readers of the Call
would peruse every word he said with
interest, he finally consented. Said
he:
"In traveling through this country t
and Canada I am greatly impressed r
with your condition. The fabulous I
wealth of some of your corporations t
and citizens, while almost in the t
shadows of their mansions live people
who have not the bare necessities of I
life, are conditions made by legislation. t
You made a grave mistake when you I
gave so much of your land and other
natural resources to private corpora
tions which have become private mono
polies and who will drain you worse
and worse every year until the end,
which no man fully knows. We made
the same mlctake, but years ago I
through the teachings of John Bal- r
lance, discovered it, and now have that I
mistake almost rectified. In our coun- c
try we have two parties, viz: the liber
als and the conservatives. The liber
als are the class who believe in legisla
tion for the benefit of the poor and let
ting the rich take care of themselves,
while the conservatives hang around
the van and shout 'No! no! Yott'll ruin
the country.' We have killed the mo
nopolies and therefore have no corrup
tion in high places; a dishonest act by a
public officer not having been heard of I
for years. The government owns and
operates both the railroads and tele- I
graph lines, which are run entirely in !
the interest of commerce without profit
to any London or New York aristocrat.
"The land, too, is practically free f
from the land monopolist, as we have a
graduated land tax law which exempts I
homesteads, to a certain number of I
acres, from taxation. Every acre, how
ever, above the homestead limit is
taxed and the larger the holdings the
higher becomes the rate of taxation. t
All lands not In use are also taxed 1
and the government stands ready to I
buy land of any character at its as
sessed valuation. It is then cut into t
homesteads and sold for the same price t
to any one who wants to buy, provided
they pay 6 per cent per annum, of
which 1 per cent applies to a sinking
fund and pays the entire principal in t
thirty-three years. 'he government I
will always loan money on real estate I
to individuals to the extent of three- a
fifrths of the valuation of such real eas
tate, at the rate of 6 per cent per an- I
naum. We also collect a graduated in- 1
come tax and have given the option to i
clties to practice single tax. We have
no monopolies, and better still, we have t
no paupers. This may seem strange to
you but nevertheless it is a fact; if a a
man becomes destitute we set him to i
work on fve acres of land ln one of the f
three 'villages' reserved for that pur- l
poee. He buiallds a house, cultivates the
ofil ad otherwise improves the prop- i
erty, for which valuable service the a
govenrmeat pays him in money. After a
the arst year he becomes self support- b
ing and begins to reimburse the gov- t
eament by making small payments
annually, until after a number of years I
the property becomes his.l
"Neither have we such a thing as pen
sloss. When a man goes to work for
the gvomamenmt he is required to take
out a ie tInsurance policy, which he
asually takes in the government com
pany beenese eof the much lower rtae.
If he is killed or disabled his family
draws the face of the policy, but If he
lives to a eartaina age it beeam an an
aulty sad pays him a eartatin premium
yearly, the prinipal payable to his
Lre ~r death. LThe beaks, too, are
aunder the supervison of the grovern
meat. When the Austrslsa pani oc
caurred frightened the depositors in
the beak t New malad, but the gov
easm a Immedatey· took ehalrge it

occasionally and how to prevent them I
is the most k'notty probleml we have yet
had to solve. We passed a compulsory I
arbitration law at the last session but I
- whether that will solve the problem it
is too soon to decide. We have an r
excellent public school system with t
compulsory attendance for all children
under 13. They are exclusively secular, I
1 no religion of whatcoever nature is al
- lowed to be taught in them. .All busl
ness houses are obliged to remaia closed
during Sunday and all labor muint cease.

_ else he pleases \ hether it be to attend

or play games of any nature. -lesidcs

forced, compelling the city and town
governments to select one day out of
t the six others on which all bus.loess is
suspended at 1 p. m., except that on
this day the saloons may remain open,
provided they sell nothing that inter
feres with the business of house.; that
t are closed.
"Strange to say, the liberals ale the

with the proper officer who shall turn it

t day, when it shall be cast and counted
1 with the others. No ship is allowed to
t leave port without a full crew as le
quired by law, and the berths must ,e

1 We also have a woman's suffrage law
which went into effect at the last elec
tion. It proved very satisfactory. We
now have the most perfect criminal code
: in the world, and justice as adminit
tered by our courts is quick and cer
tain.
"At the next session I think that we
f will adopt a system of cnsols, some
thing similar to the French system,
I which will keep money home, instead l
of going to England for all our money.
Our surplus this year will be more than
" 380.000 pounds, which is remarkable, t
considering that all other nations are
having such deficits.
"Like your country, we have but few
liberal papers, the larger papers find
- more money in supporting the monopo
t listic party. The general tendency of
our legislation is toward single tax."
Mr. Willis left Sunday for San Fran
cisco, where he will take passage for
home. 18
THE BANKERS UNDERSTAND.
They See the 'Polnt of the Fres 811vrr
Idea.
The plutocrats of the east fully un
derstand the situation. They know
there are no picket lines kept up be- a
i tween the silver camp and the old
greenback stamping ground. Listen
i1 to what William Cornwell, president
t of the New York state bankers' asso
.I ation said the other day at a bank
Sers' club banquet in Chicago:
"If, in 1875-6-7-8, the bankers and a
the sound money men had been organ- t!
[ Ized as they are organized now, and had a
spoken out as they are speaking out b
now; had started on a campaign of edu- B
cation as they are starting out now; 7
the greenback would long ago d
I have been wiped out, the silver lunacy, t
before it had wrought incalculable
damage, would have been confined to o
the asylums where it belongs, and Pop
ulism would have been promptly swept a
back into the holes of its native prairie k
Sfrom which it originally emerged and i
Swould have become a rare specimen of
Sthis dangerous manifestation of bar
Sbarism, which now mouths poisonous
Sly against our possessions and our lib
erties."
This was President Cornwell's open
ing sentence, and it contains 117 words,
by actual count. Pleasant reading,
a isn't it
a The gold bugs' campaign of educa
tion is expected to do the work which
ashould have been done nearly twenty
years ago: The greenback is to be
wiped out; and the silver lunacy con
fined to the asylums, "where it be
longs."
That reminds us of what Benjamin
Harrison said when running for gov
ernor of Indiana in 1876. He recom
mended that the state lunatic asylums
be enlarged for the accommodation of
the members of' the greenback party,.
"And Populslem swept back into the
holes of Its native pralrle"--to be re
membered only as a "dangerous man
itestation of barbarism."
The platocrats hate the Populists I
worse than any other class of voters, 5
simply from the fact we have persist
ently kept up the agitation. We added
immensely to our total strength In
spite of the withering lire of last fall's
"landslide" contest; we have put back
bone into the weakening silverites; we
have made voters realise that the Peo
ple's party is an organisation, small a
but well equipped for political lihting;
that there is one banner along the line a
which is being carried toward the in- 1
trenchments of Wall street, steadily and
unlmachingly.
