say they ddrs not perhaps ought to say they
cannot for. If ! may Judge from my experience 81
the men OF February here ia Nis. must confess
the leaders were more stag red thsa the people
By the question Of the ste possession oi the
land. Their heads were n II theories Tor Top
piag of the branches OF & tree ol privilege The
roots being under tie surf eofspeculatye ground,
they had not observed I. I'm closely. They hsd
coniounded the roots OF privilege with The eertn
Itself and when the question was frat seriously
brosched they seemed % fear that society itsei
would sink into en- abyss. if the land were taken
from under the foot OF monopoly. The tact IS,
tue me- ority Of political leaders think great teas
more Of what Is likely 10 succeed with the paohc
"a It is, than OF what is right iu principle and
powerful in practice. The majority OF socialists
and Democrats In France are now propound'ng
and discussing the silly theories al reducing ne
interest OF money and establishing an impJt pro-
gressif upon private incomes instead OF neutral
ling the causes OF enormous fortunes and usuri-
rates Of interest. The people Will, however,
leave these puuy leaders IN the lCrch when they
are once enlightened by the radiance q common

The STATE possession Of me land sud puo!c serrice

interests on money, despCtlc government and con-
sttutional administration Of enslayed nations, Will

only 70 projected theories OF peace between G
flock Of sheep and sn oppressive pack OF hungry
wolves. Wherever a man has grssped more land
than he can cultivate himself, he must have dis
possessed slaves to work It for him. and the fruits
Of their hard labor will be shared between the
6rner and the workers. One half at least for ID c

rate of interest on money 81 the stock exchange

mum on the fruits OF the soil. THIS 10 the rate OF
rent in Europe 1, may be less with you in the
United States. Metdyage IS as commonin France
IS other modes Of stipulated rent, and that alone
is proof of the universal rate OF rent. Interest
OF money and rent of land are two very different
questions The rent OF land is always at least
one hall of the produce Of labor but the rate OF H.
tersst may vary from one 70 one hundred per cent
according to the price paid for the privilege o.
possession. or the privilege OF levying one hall o.
the produce OF labor on the land This system
is an aggraystion of the Jewish law It is IN every
sense opposed to the liberty OF the GOSPEL The
world is still governed BY the Jews. Their rel
gion IS the practical avg Of the mind. An eye
Tor an eve and tooth for tooth is still the reign
ing sentiment OF selfish men. The law OF love
has not yet done its work OF regeneration. " Low,
your enemies do good to them that hate YOU an'
pray for those who despIteially use you and per
secute YOU, are spiritual seeds which have mol

men. the earth is verify the outward substance %
the body, and without the freedom OF this outward
substance there is no liberty for the inward soul
All the theories OF party liberty are dreams which
vanish before the one simple fact OF private prop
erty in land. The body Of the race is in the earth
as ell as on it, and the captivity OF the one is the
slavery of both. The jubilee OF inbilees IL how 81
