Protection to the Poor Mans Property.
From the London rhalanr
The Rich complain Of revolutionary agitation
and excitement against Property, forgetting that
the Poor Mans only PIoperty-his Labor-has
bccnundcrmined by silent revolution by monopoly
and privilege, b. false competition or indirect spo-
liation by monopolized machinery and by partial
lcrisIation) during half century of anarchy IN
trade disguised on the one hand by political
economists, with eplthcts Of {" freedom IN supply
and in delnand;' and OH the other, by class
legislation ard monopoly of privilege, until the
/ Poor are left in utter destitrticn Of both Right
/ and Property rs citizens Of free country. lake
every other principle OF Right in the present false
Social Order, the principle OF Property has been
exclusively regarded in one aspect ony-that OF
passive or accumulated Property whilst active
Property, or Labor, the prolific Of all accu
INFLATED wealth has been regarded as tool or
/ instrument alone, and not as real Property hougls

are alike involved IN this onc-sded policy. by

arc sinking into ruin by the absolute depreciation
of Their ONLY Propcrty--lhc Labor OF their heads
and of their hands. Its Of great Importance now
that this neglected question of the Poor Mans

of due protcction-should be considered.
There is in simple words more power than
is suspected when those words arc used TO fix the
minds eve upon a question OF importance, such
as that of Labor, hitherto considered az q hlrellng
slave alone, and not az the most interesting and
important of all Property. Hitherto the word
! Property has been applied exclusively 10 passive
or accumulated Labor only upon which 1t has
conferred unlimited responsibility. while ITS better
half has been deemed vile and unnnportant 1t
is high time however, that the active source Of
| Property should be respected and respectable, as
well rs the mere passive stores Of lis accumulation.

So long as the Rich and Privileged alone mo-
nopozc the application of this word TO vested
rights and interests, they succeed i'll their at
tcnpts to raise alarm in lhoughtles, minds against
the Poor, who only seek protection for their rights
as citizens Of a free country. Property in dan
ger is a powerful cry of false alarm partial
interest, and should be used in favor of protection
TO the Poor Mans Property, % well as to the
Rich. 1t should be univcrsallzcd in meaning, to
prevent or ncutralizc lis bad effects when used
exclusively for passive Property or privilege.

The owners of mere passive property would

their enemies to draw them from the vantage
