ATTENTION.!

We earnestly commend to the atten-
ton of our readers throughout the
country the article under the caption,
"Jewish Labor" on the first page of
this issue. The importance of sustain
ing the efforts of those who have under
taken to publish in this city a national
organ of Jewish Labor interests in the
Hebrew German dialect, must appear
sufficiently obvious from the contents
of this article. Thus only can the wage
workers of the Jewish race be brought
into the ranks of Organized Labor,
where they will prove as useful as they
must otherwise prove hurtful

they now have. The great wheat belt
is constantly receding Westward, and
the fertile plains Of the Mississippi Val
ley give constantly smaller average
per acre. This average for the whole
country is only l2t bushels of wheat,
whereas in England it is 20, in Belgium
and Holland, 20, in France and Ger.
many IS, in Austria and Hungary 16.
We are as low in this respect as Italy,
whose soil yields u bushels per acre;
and if we continue to rob the land of its
productive qualities upon the same reck
less scale we shall before long reach the
level of India, where the average is 7.13.
1t may be news to our readers that the
wheat production of western Europe is
considerably more than twice that of
the United States. Our only advant-
ages are in our comparatively small
population, our large unsettled area, the
use of agricultural machinery, and the
extent of our railway system. AS already
observed, all of those temporary ad-
vantages are used to their utmost by our
capitalists, regardless of the disadvan-
tages that the future generations will
have to contend with on crowded and
exhausted continent. True, by that
time, the sons of capitalists will be
greater plutocrats, and the sons of our
age-workers will be humber slaves,
than their fathers were-that is, if the
plutocrat making machine that we call
political government is not soon laid on
the shelf and true State-a cooperative
commonwealth-sub therefor.

of population and the consequent ad.
vance of land values in newly settled
districts; in spite, also, of the abund-
ance of money and the consequent low
rate of interest, the average purchase
price is now hardly higher than it was
in 1873
The fact is that, owing to the rapid
accumulation and concentration Of
enormous wealth, the real estate market
is undergoing the same changes that
are plainly noticeable in all the other
markets. The Spectator on margins
the small middle man-is driven out by
the large capitalist, who is steadily
absorbing every inch of inhabitable land
as soon as it becomes of productive
value.
The tendency, therefore, in this as in
all other fields of capitalistic activity, is
to consolidation which must of itself
prove not only powerful instrument of
plutocratic despotism, but also great
preventive of crises. And so we see that
bankruptcy and foreclosure, although
going on at greater rate than ever, are
now less apt to create financial panics
and industrial connections than they
ever were.
We may not have yet reached the
point, in the development of wealth
concentration, where such panics as
those of 1857 and 1878 can no longer
occur. But it is evident that they must
become less frequent, and study of
present conditions shows that there is
little ground for expecting one at an
early date as the spontaneous effects of
the system itself; that is, without the
external action of some other factor
such, for instance, as a corresponding
consolidation of labor and its consequent
resistance to the growing oppression of
consolidated capital.
In other words, the next panic will
probably come, not from the reckless
ness of spectators, as was the case here
tofore, but from conflict between Ca
pital and Labor

VAMPIRE ECONOMY.

The tendency of Capitalism is to strip
Nature for immediate profit, leaving to
posterity an exhausted soil that ages
had richly MANFRED and barren noun
tains where forests grew luxuriantly.
See the rate at which the land of
America is being despoiled of its pro-
ductive power. We boast of our ability
to supply Europe with breadstuffs; but
at what cost this is done, few people

ARE YOU READY?

FNiNI w hLNDt
If the necessity of thorough organiza-
ton and federation in the labor world
were any longer questioned by narrow
minded and selfish workers, we might
simply refer, in conclusive proof of it,
to the stupendous and suggestive pro-
gress lately made in that direction by
various capitalistic interests. In the
profit-making community trade antag-
onisms and personal jealousies, fostered
by competition, sink out of sight not less
readily than religious and political
differences whenever common fear of
danger is felt or prospect of mutual
benefit is apparent.
From preliminary report lately made
by special committee of the National
Board of Trade it appears that there are
in forty-one States and Territories 526
commercial organizations, with mem
bership of 96, 12l. OF the total member
ship about third Is credited HOMEWORK.
Next in order come the States of Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts,, Illinois, Ohio,
Missouri, Michigan Rhode Island, MIN
nesota, Maryland and California, in each
of which the membership is in excess of
1000. Not less than 27S, and probably
more--that is to say, considerably more
than one half-of these associations have
come into existence since $780, Their
number and membership are increasing
rapidly.
The purpose of the National Board of
Trade in appointing the special COM
mittee whose preliminary report con-
tains the above information, was to
form a national representative body, or
federation, of all the capitalistic organi.
cations in existence, through which ''the
opinion of these constituent organiza-
tons on general matters may be voiced.'
1t is pointed out that ''such a body
would exert a powerful and salutary in.
fluence upon legislation" and would
"check the tendency to ill-consid.
cred measures of public policy" The
committee has already secured full
reports and favorable replies frorn 12l
organizations in 80 States with a men,
bership of 29,767.
This mammoth federation, once per-
fected, will embrace the largest employ
ers of labor in nearly all branches of
industry, commerce and transportation,
with considerably more than one, half of
the total wealth of the country and a
wage-working force under their COM
mand of not less than ten million people.
In the light of such facts is any man

This table is highly instructive. 1t
shows that in the panic year 1878, specu-
lation had driven the average considera-
ton per conveyance (Which, upon the
whole, is fair criterion of the price of
real cstate) to a point from which it
steadily fell as the subsequent crisis be-
came more and more intense, until it
reached its lowest level in 1878 and 1879.
Since then, the said average rose not
less steadily and is now slightly above
the inflated figures of 1878, while the
total number and aggregate value of the
sales increased about 70 per cent. as COM
pared with the panic year.
it is well established fact in the
workings of our capitalist system, that
a crisis is always preceded by unusual
activity in the real estate market,
mostly of a speculative character, and
corresponding advance of price. In the
light of the above table the question,
therefore, suggests itself care we on
the eve of panicT'
This is a most important question
from many standpoints sufficiently
obvious, and any one who would at
tempt to answer it without taking into
account all the surrounding circumstan-
ces would rightly incur public ridicule.
Now. it is perfectly true that in the
last four years there has been great
activity in the real estate market; but it
has not been, to corresponding extent,
of a speculative character. While the
annual sales have about quadrupled in
total value since 1S7S-79-when large
blocks of property held by spectators
throughout the crisis were finally sold
out under foreclosure--it must be OBJ

THAT SETTLES IT.

Of all the s. l.. p. Sections now in
existence throughout the country only
one (CincinnatD has recognized the So
called Congress held by the Rosenberg
Morgan faction at Chicago on the 2Sth
of December. Six (Hoyoke, New Bed
ford, Providence, Baltimore, Albany
and the Flemish Section of PHILADELPHIA
are still "on the fence" All the Others
have recognized the Chicago Convention
of October IL.
True, Rosenberg and his imbecile
uuatuor have a few devotees in Chicago
and New York Their number, as far
as can be ascertained, is about 30 in the
first and scarcely a dozen in the latter
city. A majority of them are not wage
workers and have been for very short
time in the labor movement, the nature
of which they do not understand. TAX
ing both cities together, they are out
numbered forty to one in regular men,
bership by the adherents of the 18th of
October Convention, while in relations,
influence and sympathy among the
wage-workers they are outnumbered u
thousand to one. They are, in fact, a
microscopic quantity outside the party,
and not at all faction of it.
On the side of the 12th of October
Convention are the Oldest and most
widely known socialists in the country J;
the men who, regardless of personal
danger. sacrifice, or suffering, have
most contributed to make socialism what
it is on this continent-not a small poll
tical party machine to be boss-ruled by
any Rosenberg or Morgan, but great
moral force, felt more and more through
out the labor organism, These and the
thousands who entertain the same views
in common with Marx, Engels, Bebel,
Liebknecht, ETC., are the men that a few
cowardly and semi-bourgeois ninnies,
styling themselves Straight Social
lists, denounce as semianarchists."
In view of such facts, how is it pos
sible for any Socialist Section-how is it
possible for one true Socialist--to remain
any longer undecided?
This is not all, however.
Some time ago the Flemish Section of
Philadelphia, in accord with some of the
other undecided Sections, suggested
that a new Convention be called in some
city other than Chicago or New York.
because-as stated in its appeal-it "be-
lieved that the atmosphere in those
regions was detrimental to cool, impair

comrades were as yet unable to see that
the removal of Rosenberg and his i'm

sonal motives, but the deliberate and
intelligent action of an overwhelming
majority of their disinterested, cool
headed and far-seeing New York breth-
rem, who had the best opportunities of

THE LAND TAX.

The third lecture of the course at the
Chicago Economic Conference was deli
vered by a Mr.. Brown, who is strict
follower of Henry George in all that
"single- taxism implies. We have no
report of it and shall probably lose 40
thing by the failure of our correspondent
to send us one, as the theories of the
George school have long been thoroughly
ventilated and exploded. But we have
criticism of it by the Chicago Tribune,
which is unquestionably still more
fallacious argument against the taxation
of land values than Mr.. Browns in favor
of taxing land, and land alone, can by
any possibility have been. J..
Of course, we need not tell our readers
that we have no objection whatever to
the taxation of land values. What we
object to is the proposed "singleness "
of the tax. George is correct when he
asserts that land is of right the pro-
perty of the people in common" He
learned this from the Socialists, who
discovered it long before him, and to
that extent he is himself socialist in
spite of all his protests But he ceases
to be one and becomes an illogical crank
when, having recognized the necessity
of socialism in land, he advocates CAPT
talism in everything else. As we and
Others have repeatedly shown, the taxa
ton of land values to the exclusion of
all other forms of wealth, instead of
making land free to all, instead of max
ing it public property, would more than
ever make it accessible only to capital
lists.
But it goes without saying that this is
not the ground upon which the Chicago
Tribune objects to the taxation of land
values. Our esteemed contemporary of
the murderous city of the West turns to
the Census of 1880, and processes to find
there that out of II 900, 900 voters there
were at that time 1900, 900 land holders,
as follows Persons owning their farms,
4,225,OOO; Sons of farmers, $4,000;
owners of city and village lots. $500, 900.
We observed in previous article that
the economist" of the Chicago Tribune
was either very poor arithmetician or
a very dishonest person, and more likely
both. He is bound to prove that we
were right in our estimate of him.
In the first place, the figure of $780,.
600 city lot owners can nowhere be
found in the Census or elsewhere. 1t is
wild guess of our tigurative contem-
porary. All the data within reach are
tending to show that the number of
people owning city and village lots is
not quarter of the imaginary number
conceived by the Tribune.
In the second place, from the 4, 90, 900
farmers our contemporary should have
| deducted 100000 women, who do not

sales in the city of New York, their total
amount and the average price per con-
veyance for each of the past seventeen
