The North Pacific coast is falling into
the hands of the boss devils. One of
them-Henry Villard-has secured alb
solute control of every railroad, steam
ship, steamboat and means of transpOr-
tation between California and the Brit
ish line. Not passenger or a pound of
freight can be moved in all that wide
domain, composed of Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Washington territories,
without the consent of this royal rail-
road robber. And within the same re-
gions he has unlawfully grabbed forty
millions of acres Of public lands, which
was long since forfeited for non-compli-
ance with the acts of congress, but
which the bandit not only refuses to
surrender, but also refuses to pay taxes
thereon, and is compelling the people to
build all the common roads, bridges and
other puhic improvements to benefit
his unlawfully secured lands. And
within all this. wide. domain he ;soppels
the people to pay more than double the
rates for passenger travel charged in the
eastern states, and at least four times the
rates of eastern roads for moving freight ;
and this Notwithstanding his railroads
were built by grants of the peoples
lands. This is the inevitable result OF
the competitive system-one or two
kings, and a nation of slaves. Study
political economy, and you will find
that there is no remedy save revolution.

I feel it my imperative duty, and would
consider myself bastard and an enem,
unto myself. to longer withhold my sup
port from your paper. I will in the fu
ture assist you with little of the sinewl
Of war essential in conducting the figh
you have inaugurated against greedy
capital and soulless corporations,
If there is single journalist in Den
yer or the state of Colorado that deserve!
the sympathy, admiration and tinancia
support of the wage slaves of this state
it is unquestionably you. have been {
close reader of your paper since its birth
and it has steadily grown into strong
manhood, answering, uncompromising
and true to the principles. of labor re.
form as the needle to the north pole
Your paper weekly abounds with articles
that strike deep at the foundations of the
rotten and corrupt social evils that are
enslaving the laboring men of this
county. You stand fearless and alone
the only champion of labor in this state,
which is grudgingly mouthed by the
Denver Tribune: "The more advanced
laboring man becomes, the more are
his views in accord with this paper"
What has possessed the Tribune man to
ever admit this much ? The press is
said to be mighty factor in moulding
the character, politics and conditions of
the people. If this be true, then the
Denver Tribune and nine, tenths of the
newspapers which are of the same class
are responsible for the pauperization of
labor.
Our legislators are arrayed against
labor, capital is arrayed against labor,
and the press is arrayed against labor
In view of this fact, is it to be wondered
at that the laboring men of this country
are becoming more interested in quota
tionS of dynamite, which you give, than
in gold or silver, an article of which we
receive barely enough to keep soul and
body together?
The laboring men are learning that
capital is the child of labor, that by
their sW eat and toll they have created
all the wealth of this land. Any one in
doubt of this statement can beconvinced
by graduating in Henry Georges school
of political economy, which will only
cost you twenty cents.
The condition Of the laboring man
to-day is to beg for work if granted, is
accompanied by an iron clad oath not to
depart from the adopted methods of
adding to the wealth of our masters. If
the wage slaves allow you to be routed,
beaten and slain in your vallient fight,
it will be to their eternal disgrace. and
they will be held guilty for the murder
of The LABOR ENQUIRER.
In conclusion, will say 90 on with
the good work. You are last gaining the
confidence Of those whose cause you so
nobly Defend True, at times labor is
ungratefu to its friends, but surely your
reward awaits you.

Labor and Monopoly.

In his remarks before the senate labor
investigating committee, Henry George
said there was the great general fact that
feeling Of extreme dissatisfaction at
their lot existed among workingmen
Their condition Was not improving with
the increase of prosperity. Labor saw
ing machinery had not shortened the
labor of the worker by one hour and
the division of labor, though not in itself
disadvantage, was made so under the
present condition Of society. The
trouble was that land had been mOnop-
olized and labor shut off from it. Wages
in new countries were high, because
land was cheap, and no one would work
for another for less than he could earn
for himself on the land. All the advan-
tages of labor saving machinery, and of
cheap transportation ultimately go to the
owner of the soil He reaps all the ad-
vantages, and labor and capital must
needs pay him tribute. There is no
such thing as general overproduction
but some cases of special overproduc-
ton as in coal and iron. The secret is,
there is an under production in some
thing else, and the laborer must obtain
the work and thus get the means of buy
ing these overproduced articles. This is
because of the difficulty of obtaining
access to the natural resources of the
land, which, as countries become older
and more thicklY settled, become the
subject of land monopoly. Arabic land,
even in the West, now commands high
price. The spectators keep just ahead
of the emigrant. One railroad monop-
oily recently advertised $500 improved
farms for sale, which had been undoubt-
Iedly foreclosed on the original settlers.
As a man became poorer he was less
able to make any change in his habita-
ton, and finally he could not benefit
himself by changing The only remedy
for labor troubles was in doing away
with the monopoly of land, and in co.
operation.
