Teach Them to Live, Not starve.

To the Editor NJ The Fronting World:
In your issue of Jan. 6 you give space in
your valuable columns to two correspondents
who are willing to prove that if the people of
this country eau get enough, just enough, to
keep body and soul together they should be
thankful. Now, Mr.. Editor, l cannot for the
life within me see what benefit such people
are to the community, not even to hat class
known as landlords, because from their own
showing shopkeepers could not pay rent out
Of their spendings. In my opinion the writer
insults the common sense of your readers by
such twaddle. It's not how tc starve
the American people your readers
want information, but how to get steady
employment and more wages, so that
they will be enabled to buy good, warm
clothing for their families, who are badly in
need at this season of the year. Any reader
of The WORLD can see that merchants must
sell their stock SO AS to be able to pay then
help, and it is so with the butcher and the
grocer and all other storekeepers. l think
by using your columns to instruct those poor
benighted people who are trying to commit
suicide by n short allowance of food you will
confer II favor on the working people who
read The WORLD.

A Few Words with n George Man.

To the Editor Of The Erentng World:
In answer to Mr.. Du Souchet's many aues-
tons under the title of The Land Theory
Again" allow Inc TO say that they are too
vague. 1t is patent that he is a follower of
Henry George. He asks if land is not the
source of all wealth. Indirectly it is but
the land, without capital and - natural op-
portunities," is yalueless. He also raises the
old cry that only one.tifth of the land is in
use. Admitted but that fact does
not alter the truth of the asser-
ton that New York and all large cities
are overcrowded with workingmen-too poor
to take to the land. AS "A vivid reminder of
the p" grand army of unemployed" notice
the thousands who stand ready to take the
situations of the some sixty thousand men
who threatened to strike on the Reading
and all believers in the single-tax theory take
possession of the four-tifths of the country
not i'll use? Why don't some of these
" strangers" stay at home? Europe isn't
half settled vet. He argues against restricted
immigration by advancing the absurd claim
ing more wealth., when in fact q
great part are almost %penniless and
become burdens upon the Government.
Like several who preceded him, he does
not attempt to solve the question which
ngitates myself and 999, 500 others in the city
the unemployed? AS long as he and his
kind cling to Henry George and his ideas,
aud seek no better way in which to improve
the condition of mankind. Just so long will
the rich increase i'll wealth and the poor be-
come poorer: therefore | advise him not TO
look back upon the bursted and-tax bubble,
but rather cast about for a more tangible
method of lessening the I" bitterness of the
struggle for bread"

A New Wnr Story.


from the Atlanta Constitution.
Gen. Alexander told another story: AT the battle
of Manassas he was fighting near a farmhouse,
which he discovered to be the house OF Mr.. Lewis
McCabe, a relative of his wife. Before The battle
was over the house was literally riddled and the
farm ruined. Gen. Alexander never saw Mr.. Nc
Cabe again until at AppomaItoX. While lighting
there his artillery was near a farmhouse, which he
found out 70 be the home OF Mr.. McCabe. He met
that gentleman Il few moments later, and he Sd d;

GIVING THE WOMEN A LIFT.

The Federation of Labor displays the true
spirit of modern chivalry in lending its aid
to the organization of working girls and
women.
The workingmen find difficulties many
and great in the way of union for mutual
protection. But they are better able to
stand alone than are their sisters, and having
succeeded measurably we'll in organizing
themselves, they do well to lend q hand to
the weaker sex.

Having once resigned a big place precipi-

sticking for six years to a little Office for
which he was not legally qualified in the first
place, and in which his term expired long

For five years in succession the people of
New York have repudiated the party Of

the Senate, the Quarantine Ring, the Health
Officers and the Emigration Commissioner
have chung to their offices.
The Boss is now before a jury, with o good

almighty hand has set the seal on the

Let us look at Paley's logic. Why

a divine revelation made by the founder
of my religion. How do you know that
it was divine revelation? Because I
can prove that certain miraculous events
happened in Palestine eighteen ceturies
ago. Upon this showing the pyramid is
balanced upon its apex, and morality in
most precarious equilibrium; its very
existence is made to depend upon the
evidence of particular set of events at
particular period of history. / do not
pause to inquire how far a man of Pa

the argument which seeems to be
implied i'm his writings. The. bare

Interpretation is significant of the
change which has come over the dis
cussiOn. only cite him to show by an
extreme case what is the tendency OF
the doctrine. His theory involves the
balief that the essence of virtue consists
IN obedience to an external sanction.
The good man and the bad man differ
only in the calculation of chances.
Morality, then, is something superadded
to human nature; it means obedience to
a law promulgated at definite time
and place; it is imposed upon US by an
other being, and would have no mean
ing but for a specific PRONUNCIATION by
the legislator. at the present day the
logical position is inverted. Christian

sound morality, and morality because it

therefore assumed that we have some
reasons for reversing the moral law,
which, whatever they may be, are indie
pendent of the supposed revelation.
otherwise we should fall into the
vicious circle of justifying the belief
by the conduct. and the conduct by the
belief.
