them in the constitution than by the ordi-
nary action of prohibitory statutes. Pro.
hibitory statutes do not exclude liquor, but
the passion for liquor overcomes respect fer
the statnJes. In Iowa it will, perhaps,
demoralize the constitution; and if the
constitution becomes of no effect in
one particular it may in others. All
this conflict, indeed, hurts the liquor
traftic but little, but hurts The other
side very seriously. 1t is great evil in
community when the people come to look
upon the law something to be systematic
caliy evaded, and that is the effect principally
produced BY prohibitory legislation This
effect is bad enough when the statutes are

The Irish land bill has struck the note of
policy whose effects every civilized nation
will feel. The great question approaching
civilization for solution is that of the distri-
button OF property, SO that its tendency shall
be lowsrd expansion to many hands, not ac-
cumnistion in few. The land bill is bold
movement in that direction In our own coun-
try the principle underlying that law will
become active, Just in proportion as the
wealthy increase and make themselves exclu-
sive, forming themselves into class. An
Inlimation Of what is coming is seen in a
paragraph in carefully prepared declara-
tion OF principles of the Greeubackers where
they say: "All land owned by indiyidnai--
or corporations in excess of what is required
for their personal nse, or for the transaction
OF their business, should be taxed SO as to
render its ownership valueless" This ex-
preston is called "communistic" and $50
cialistic." Calling names neither proves nor
disproves anything, and as sure as the mon
oPollsts and millionaires seek, by exclusive
ness snd insermarrisge, to form themselve
INTO "an upper-erust association" an antsg-
onlsm will be aroused thai will result in the
adoption OF laws that will favor the dissem-
lnation of wealth, aud that will destroy the
unmIstakable tendency there is among us
