Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune
CINCINNATI, Tuesday, March !, 1853.
There is no doubt of the desire Of The Tri5-
readers to hear reports from every phanlropic
field l. therefore, jot down items touching the
greatest Reform Of the age which has not yet attracted
the attention which its ma sntute demands.
Land Reform means something more than the Free
dom of the Public Domain in limited quantities to sctu.
al landless settlers Itmeans also the application Of the
principle Of limitation to the whole country and the
world. II it be good principle when applied 10 the
Public Domain it lie also good when applied 70 the Soil
of Ohio If the reform is founded in nature AMI
moral justice would not have par
usiy for mere expedients to m the evils Of false
system would go 10 the causes and remove them AZ
Land Refofmer spurn the plea Of charity, states
manke gencrosty 10 the poor thqt often made in be-
hall Of Land Freedom. If clarity Il in my opinion
humbug No; it on the ground Of natural right of
every one to shsre IN those natural without which
Life cannot be s hi. ed Liberty enjoyed that love
Land Reform aud If be natural right land that H.
csnprove against the most subtle ogcisn

radical import Ia no place hnve succeeded in calling

Land Monopoly Pr pahle and the benefits OF Land
Limitation can be made plan, that the "~ay-ftrny
man, Though fool, need not therein" If any with

the dominion OF inverse passions and disposed %

The friends OF Lani Limitation commenced petition

large number have been presented Operations will be

and the number Of petitions at the next session will rank
next 10 those the Maine Liquor Law. We have CON
cluded 10 carry Land Limitation within five year,
Ohio must rank equal with any other member oi the
Confederacy and her freedom Intelligence and d5tnc-
ton will be due 10 the benign influence OF Free schools

those who win use H. and iorbds any aud every one

right TO limit property In natural wealth because u -
common to all and the right 10 share thereof cannf
be guaranteed without such limit
In Cincinnati the German Americans are moving IN
strong force and active now being tken
to organize the friends Of this great cause Tor ec"nt
action. In the city the evils OF Land Monopoly are
more apparent than in the country. Our largest iOT
tunes have been acquired by land speculation every
cent which taken from the toll OF others, and not
fsrhng OF which earned by the industry OF those who
obtain such profits Hence we have 10000 families, or
100000 people who are entirely homeless, aud under
