Among the members of the Marxist

Longuet, son-in-law of Karl Marx and
member of the General Council of the
International when that body sat in
London eighteen years ago, At that

London, the proceedings of which, it
was agreed, should be kept secret at

men who have labored to bring about
liberty, equality, fraternity among men.
They have been set down as dreamers.
Yet what they wildly and longingly

proper portion for maintenance. To be
sure, these trusts are now conducted
for individual gain, but their methods

LAND VALUES AND CAPITAL

From $50 to 1880 the total increase of
land values in city and country through
out the United States was about two
thousand million dollars. During the
same period Of twenty years the capital
engaged in farming, mining, manufact-
uring, trade, transportation and build
ing increased nearly twenty thousand
million dollars, or ten times as much as
did the land values.
Now, if it is well and proper to tax
the land, it is ten times rs well and
proper to tax capital Under the pres
ent system both are unearned mere,
ments in SO far as their owners are con-
-cerned. But, while capital increases by
fleeing labor, the land values increase
because certain amount of that capital
seeks employment on the land. The
landowner who sells his property to a
capitalist at profit is simply fleeing
the capitalist who had heeced the wage
worker. If there was no fleeing of
labor there could be no increase in the
value of land.
OF course, there would be the same
increase Of capital, but ii would be, like
land itself, the joint property of the
workers instead of being the priyat,
property of the idlers. Nay, under
cooperative system, there would be a
much greater increase of capital thar
there is at this time, because large
number of people now out of employ
ment, and still larger number of PEG,
pie employed in ministering to the
caprices of our plutocrats, would be
employed in multiplying the machinery
of production to the extent required by
the increased consuming power of all
the workers.

SOCIALISTS OR ANARCHISTS?

Under this head will be found else
where a letter from Mrs. Woodman,
which leaves us in doubt as to whether
she merely expresses her own feelings,
or speaks in the name and by au-
thority of the Chicago American Sec
ton The form of the communication,
however, nclnes us to believe that she
speaks for herself, and, as it seems,
quite impulsively. Upon this assump-
ton, we submit the following reply:
The fall of the Bastille is historical
fact susceptible of only one interpreta-
ton. People who differ widely in all
other respects might therefore assemble
for its celebration without in the least
rendering themselves liable to the charge
that they agree in everything or any
thing else.
Now, as to Mr.. Pentecost He is not
a member of the S. l.. F.; neither is he
IA Socialist. This he declared emphati-
cally in his opening remarks, and the
party cannot, therefore be responsible
for his utterances, 1t is also due to him
to state that he claims to be man of
peace, to the extent even of advocating
'non-resistance' "a "philosophv" that
the editor pro tenn. of this paper, speak
ing for himself alone, cannot endorse
or even understand; for, in his opinion
Justified. as he believes, by facts and

resistance to wrong is an essential con-
dition of progress, the form of the re-
sistance depending entirely upon the
environment.
In this regard, the policy of the S. L,
=. in the United States, and the stand
of the WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE as its
organ, cannot be Inexperienced.
Both maintain that resistance to wrong

COLONEL OF DRAGONS.

The intense "militarism" of the pres
ent Emperor of Germany has never
been so ludicrously shown as in the
honor which he has conferred upon the
Queen by making her Colonel of the
First Dragon Guards of Berlin. That a
young Emperor who has quarreled with
his mother and all her relations should
be able to devise no better means of rec
onciliation than by making his "Most
Illustrious Grandmother" a Colonel of
Dragons will excite nothing but mirth
outside of the military hierarchy Of
Germany, where it will doubtless be
received with profound solemnity and
admiration. The Queen has reCiprocally
made the Emperor an Admiral, but al
though he would probably make at
least as bad an English sailor as she a
German Dragon, he can at least take
the costume of the part, and did, in
fact, wear it recently. Whereas the
Queen in the uniform of a Colonel of
Dragons is an object which the most
hardy imagination shrinks from contem-
plating.-NY. Times.

junketing expeditions all over the

junketing expeditions all over the
world.
The other faction is led by Pentecost,
Its aims are by no means definite, and
the term "mental anarchy" may best
express its present condition, While
protesting great respect for the single
land tax, Mr.. Pentecost and his friends
are inclined to think well of Socialism,
to speak well Of Nationalism, and to
treat well Anarcnism. Their theory
seems to be that while each of these
things is good in itself, an elixir of all
would be better. But their alchemists
have not yet found the conditions and
proportions Of that golden compound,
and we must wait awhile for their for
mula.
In the meantime Organized Labor,
tired of the dissensons fomented in its
ranks by land tax SPECTATORS, philosoph-
ical adventurers and political intriguers,
shows a wise disposition to reunite upon
those plain first principles, which it is
the glory Of Socialism to have discovered
and propagated.

SHORT LESSONS IN ECON
OMY. %

The locomotive is growth of the
last fifty years. AS late as 1910 there
were in operation throughout the world
less than 5000 miles of railway. To-
day there are more than 100000 miles,
one-half of which are on American soil.
Now, it appears that the railway sys-
TEN of this country, with the 100000
men 1t employs, can easily perform
work which fifty years ago would have
taxed the muscular strength Of twenty
million teams and as many te6msters.
In other words, it appears that the loco
motive has added to the transporting
power of this country force equivalent
to that of a horse working every day
for each adult or of two teams for each
family, with one slave in addition for
each team.
1t does not appear, however, that
those who toll consume 50 much or
travel 50 extensively that they require
such power of transportation. Many
of them, in fact, are tramping the roads
in search Of work, carrying on their
backs with the greatest ease all their
possessions.
But it has been shown in previous
lessons that labor received in payment
of its exertions one-quarter Of the total
product Three-quarters of the railroad
service is consequently for the benefit of
the capitalists, who not only take much
| pleasure in travelling and consume
much that is produced here, but ex-
| change the wheat and meat and cotton
and tobacco and other raw products of
American labor for the Injuries pro-
duced by the labor of distant coun-
tries.
Let it be furthermore observed that
this magnificent railway system is
owned by 100000 persons, not one of
whom ever helped by honest work of
hand or brain to build it or to run it.
1t was built by labor, fed upon grain
and pork that labor produced, clothed
in cheap garments that labor spun and
sewed; and now engines and cars, made
and manned by other labor, are running
on steel rails cast by the slaves of Car
negie and such-like, earning dividends
for those 100000 privileged persons, a
score of whom control the whole.

THE TWO FACTIONS.

What remains of Georges following is
now split into two factions.
One, under the nominal lead of
George himself, is actually marshaIed
by Croasdale and Post. These two men
own the 'prOphet,7 and with what
little strength his name gives them they
will now carry out on a small scale the
scheme of undisputed empire in which
they failed SO signally when, two years
ago, they attempted to control the labor
movement. Their puny organization is
to be run as a close corporation, chiefly
in the interest of the democratic"
party, with twofold object in view: /,
the political advancement of its leaders
by means of any bargain which circum-
stances may enable them to make with
local, State and national politicians; ,,
the procurement of money from capital
lists interested in free trade, so that the
name of Henry George may be kept
before the public by costly single-tax

BOSTON,.

The Socialists of Boston again held
two meetings last Sunday on the Com
mon. The large audiences present
from week to week, and the enthusiast
tic applause which is accorded as the
several speakers make their points; all
this is to us unmistakeablee evidence that
socialism is taking hold of the minds
and hearts of the people. During the
afternoon recess they form themselves
into groups and discuss what the vari-
GUS speakers have said. At the close of
the evening meeting they evince an I'M
willingness to retire, which is not less

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
DREAM ERS.

The achievements of the past fifty
years must mean something more than
a mere chance to make money. While
mankind has been allowed to share with
the Infinite the knowledge until now
locked within the eternal Businesses of
wisdom, shall those who share this
knowledge use it but for personal ambi-
ton and worldly gain? Has humanity
no claim upon the ever-increasing won
ders of earth? The powers of nature
have been placed in the keeping of man
for the benefit of the human race, and
it does not require the insight of

POISONED FOR PROFIT.

DR.. de Paepe introduced a very i'm
portant question into the debate at the
Possibiist Congress. The way in which
the lives of workingmen are sacrificed
to the greed and avarice Of the capitalist
class has received frequent mention in
our columns, but yet the reference of
Or. de Paepe to 'murderous industries
demands further notice. The health and
life of a worker has no value whatever
in the eyes of the protit-mongers, and
many a wife has been made a widow,
and many child become an orphan,
simply to save the outlay of sixpence
or little trouble in the production of
certain chemicals and drugs. 1t is
gratifying to know that the resolution
of DR.. de Paepe was carried unani-
mOusly, and it only now remains for
trade unionists and radicals to back us
in our endeayors to have all chemical
factories and "murderous industries
under the strictest supervision of in
spectors, appointed by the workers
themselves, who know the evils accru-
ing from the use of materials injurious
to health, and who will not hesitate to
enforce the utmost restrictions wherever
they find an opportunity.-London JUS
