In other words II this ordling does not give m and hei-
unjust and wihOds what Is the property OF Inc poorer
10 the charge of holding these doctrines The Tribune
does not dernur indeed with the quotation before
its eyes prudence dictated that IL should not denur-
These doctrines were distinctly. although cunningy and
slyIy put forth and The Tribune with the result OF s
previous audacify in denying what had asserted did
repeat the experiment OF facing down It's own doc
trnes. II will not, therefore now deny that II holds
what we have charged. and probably. viii not declare
that il meant nothing but Texas. or the inquiry 81
these doctrDcsof their perfect concurrence with all
the notions of the Ming and Fanny Wright followers
IL not our intention speak At this moment Our Oh
ject at present IS merely a. hold The Tribune 10 TINS
point in its wisiings and turnngs, TO eyade It's own de-
csraons. when they were seen To be made up OF Loco
Focoism and inhdeiiy when i,s esuitcai cunning one
moment lays down proposition, when is Jesuiuch
fears the next moment deny.
The Tribune further says
ave admit and insist on the kral right of the Of
wild lands keep them unnhabed FOR ever but We do not
consider morally right that he should do when land be
and subsistence for the andess scany ana
precarious"
This il another of the tricks ofThe Tribune. II had
before said have quoted above "ihd there should
be some limits the right of any one human being 10
moDopoize the soil which God hes bnade for the susie
nance OF the race" IL now seems that this limit was
only a moral limit not legal one and what kind of n
limit would that Ii would from this That The
rary no,wthstandng when aid the land should not
be cold there. Ii only meant moral sale, where lands
are scarce. To such absurdtics Is driven when
he undertakes 10 turn demagoguc after the Locofoco
fashion.
To show the facility with which The Tribune
trade, its own declarations and principles, quote
what it says on the subject of titles to land
But never proposed TO take away from any man an
Of land to which he had good ute to give 10 any
person Whatever"
On the other side of this question. ii says:
Now do willingly say thai II possessed the
estate Of the Duke of marlborough of Devonsre, OF Nor
clk could feel justified in appropraling several
miles square Of fertile soil 10 park pleasure ground
while thousands all around us were existing IN ablect pow
erty aud desuton from wi OF two Of that land
would, In good degree, relieve them
II IL be jusiihabe In the Editor of The Tribune
appropriate several miles square 30 any purpose which
he NAV choose how can it he for the Duke OF Mari
borough Ifit be wrong in the Duke then his title II
no, gocd-for title is good which IL not Jastihablc
The same rule would take away the tiic OF any
who ha. little more land than the Editor Of The Tn
bunc might think useful
The Dukes moral title being thus disposed Of The
Tribune with singular consistency in its Inconsistencies
adds
But we never held that any Dukes land The proge,y
of his poorer ueghbor the Express asserts Il i tho
properly OF him who hold. the edeeds and of nobody
else We only concnd that this system which made the
property of and has kept for eight hunded
YEAR,, is bad SYSTEM aud ought not he extended
II would appear by this the Duke IL not At all "a
blame in the mailer. only that he rs victim to system
which has. most unfortunately, made him rchthat thus
system is "bad" system. or in other words great
sinner but the Duke and his ancestors entirely limo
cent in the matter
In reference what the Express has advanced on the
subject q! The night to lands. The Tribune says -:
All SIR let the lands belong few. animated BY such
principles ayow and Justify and the many will have
sorry chance for bread, and enough Of IT,"
The Expresson ths and all occasions maintains that
may have legal and moral right To land without
respect the extent of surface which he may possess
The Express in common with the Wing party always
ahurcd socialism, Fonrersm Agrarianisn, Anti Rcntism
and OConnolli-m. The Tribune admits that II holds al.
these doctrines and dsclams in the above quotation
such principles the Express avows and justihes"
All the doctrines OF The Tribune. with the exception OF
the Tariff ss ias know. Loco focoism II the
worst kind.
OF Socialism and Fourierism prove that they
only mere subicrfuees for nhdellty Antl-Rcntism
IL Of the school -AgraTisnism is a compound of
nhdclity and robbery % Connellsm is a mixture of
unaey and plpnder. The Wings oahe all these things
and consider them the olscouring OF Loco focoism
