4 REMARKABLE MOVEMENT
In dispatch from Denver printed in The
Tribune Saturday night light is shed on move
ment which, it is said, is about to agitate the
country called the New Abolition We gather
that it cOntemplates certain changes in the exist
ing order of things. To give confidence in the
new idea, it is stated that among other organiza-
tons which are behind il is the Greenback party.
1t is also said TO have the Endorsement of all
peaceably disposed Nationalist, cautious Social
lists, conservative Communists and law-abiding
Anarchists. Among a few of the things advocated
by the New Abolition is the immediate doing
away with all ownership of land; the repeal of
all laws for the collection of debts the abolition
OF all customs duties and all charters franchises
TO corporations; the immediate stopping of all
forms Of taxation and few other little minor
changes 1t also demands State or National
ownership of railroads, teegraphs, telephones,
canals, highways cable-ines water-wOrls, gas
works, strcetralways, and so forth. The New
Abolition starts, we are assured, with at least
900. 900 votes at lis back The votes of the
Greenback party are, we suppose, included in this
estimate otherwise tie number would probably
be sweled to million and some six or seven
II is 10 be regretted that the limitations of the
telegraph prevented the writer of the Denver
dispatch from giving more extended account OF
the new idea. But The Tribune has been
50 fortunate as TO procure a few more particu-
lars. which il is TO be hoped are trustworthy from
n nearer source The repeal of all laws looking
70 the collection of debts and the doing away with
taxes is really the foundation on which the new
movement rests at present Nothing bears WIN
greater weight the true New Abohtlonlst imam

power.
The pie service under the new plan is merely
,oi,en rs an example-the same system will eX-
fond 70 everything. The new idea is broad
enough to include everybody. Not only may the
Ia ri working Anarchist and quiet-lovins Nihilst
hoforo mentioned come in. but place will, we
doubt not yet be found for the Mugwump under
It's ample banner. The New Abolition. as it APP
roors in Denver, seems TO be remarkable move
ment. and the little band of 100000 voters be-
hind il ought to feel encouraged at the good
start it has made.
