petri6es the brain tissues, and converts
the broad, ocean like potentalities of In
tellect into narrow and deep worn gulches
and canons of bigotry. Nor does what Ia
generally called conservatism always
arise out of respect for time-honored
customs, but quite as often it arises out
of pure selfshness of the most sOrdid
kind. Men affect not 10 believe, and
vigorously persecute that which, in their
heart of hearts they know to be the
noblest and most salutary Of truths.
Our present political upheaval will
liberate the industrial and wage slave
whose competitive condition to-day Is
simply an industrial war,-a relic Of the
dark ages-in which the stronger in any
sense prey upon the weaker In every
way.
The next step would be to abolish in
terest, which would be accomplished by
the people themselves lOaning to them
selves their own money on land as secur-
ity. Supposing the average rate of in
terest paid to-day to be 6 per cent, and
that the government (the peOple) should
take up all the mortgages, 1t would re-
quire but about three years for the peO-
pie to liquidate their debts by making
annual payments on the principal to the
amount paid to usuers as interest. In
short it would be loan association on
grand scale. just contemplate 1t. The
whole country out Of individual indebt-
edness in ten years. AT the same time
such condition would entirely stop the
accumulation of wealth in the hands of
those who do not work Jour upper tens)
and allow the workers to retain the re-
suits of their toll. In the meantime steps
should be taken to abolish all laws for
the collection OF all debts, which would
be as much a matter of economy as of
justice. The public, not being taken
into the negotiations preceding the con-
traction Of debts, ought not to bS called
in to compel their payment. Those who
sell property or loan money do so in the
hope or expectation to reap a profit and
often grant the credit when they would
not do so II the law did not stand behind
them to enforce their claim. It would
also induce those who loan money to in
vest 1t in some legitimate business. The
abolition of such laws would permanent
ly destroy credit business and coupled
with the government loaning money to
its own working people inaugurate the
most prosperous time witnessed since
the formation of society.
1t would, besides, render unnecessary
the existence of our barnacles, viz: law
yers, court officials, officers of the law,
and most of our judicial tribunals.
The expense of collecting debts In some
states is twice as big as the amount of
debts collected. Therefore IL the people
would embark In the banking and loan
business, to which it alone has the right,
1t would thereby guarantee the payment
'of the existing debts. In abolish

community as matter of right. Having
been given life without his consent and
q life not capable Of maintaining itself,
he has a right to claim support for that
life. Now what is true of . complete
disability Is equally true Of all grades Of
disabilities up to that which admits OF
an auerage requirement. Even energy,
as opposed to Incidence, Is not to be ex-
cluded from the list OF capacities and
disabilities since both are as much an in
heritance, as are the other individual
characteristics. 1t must be remembered
that we are arguing to determine what
justice ia, not what custom has estab-
lished; nor what theories or religion have
sought to teach, but what Christ has
exemplifed through his life. Without
regard or reference to any existing thing
we want to determine what is absolute
Justice between individuals.
In no other way can we expect to Or
ganize society in which there shall not
be an lrrepressible conflict going on; on
no other basis can we expect to correct
all the evils and abuses that> now afflict
the peoples Of the earth. BY no other
practice can we live the doctrines of the
Nazarlne, "Love thy neighbOr as thyself,"
and obey the new commandment "LOve
one another" which supercedes all
other and elder commandments held to be
divine and supposed to be human. Let
every person who Is discussing the
problem of industrial justice ask himself
OK herself, can there be q brotherhood
of man outside of a community Of inter
ests? Is palace on one hand and a
hovel on the other evidence of q brother
hood? Or Is 1t an indication of love
towards the neighbor? Is a people
among whom there are the upper mil
llonaires on the one side and the lower
million tollers for bare subsistence on
the other, Christ people? And yet
these same mlllionsires would have God
recognized In the constitution. What
blasphemy! What tconsummate hypOcrisyl
And yet these same millionaires open
their meetings with prayers to the God
of love. What blindness Of those who
are about TO be destroyed Holding In
view the principles above enunciated, In
what sense are existing things right or
wrong, just or unjustS
Our declaration of independence is
supposed to be the foundation Of our
government and our laws are subject to
Its provisions. It holds that all men are
equal and are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness. What glorious theory and
what miserable reality The right to re-
main as they are born seems to be q
natural sequence, while the right to life
carries with it the right to the unrestrict-
ed use Of the elements necessary 10
maintain it. Those elements are the COM
mon gift Of the Creator to mankind, and
therefore belong Of right to all These
elements are the earth, with all that is
in it, the air and the water. The water
and the air thus far have evaded the
avariclous clutches of man, but not so
the land. Notwithstanding it is an

tained as substitute for industrial or
ganization certain tax should be re-
quired. Such o division Of the soil
would be infinitely superior and more
advantageous 10 the people than owner
ship, since It could not be sold, lost by
mortgage, given away or alienated by
any other means. But considering the
selfish propenslties Of mankind, it is to be
feared that such naturalization of land
will be one of the last reforms inaugural
ed. We all know that every new move
ment, whatever it's merits, invariably
meets opposition. This arises out of old
fogyism, or to be optimistic, is the result
of conservatism. Perhaps this country
of ours TO as great extent as any other in
this world has SlOughed off this perennial
skin Of ignorant imbecility, yet with re-
gret be 1t said, a new and self-evident
truth has even here TO run q tedious
gauntlet for existence and recognition.
1t is not enough that Herbert Spencer
logically probe to utter death and dlsso-
luton the fallacy of individual owner
ship Of land; not enough for him to re-
iterate that all men are created free and
equal, not enough for him to asseverate
with all the sOlemnity Of his magnificent
wisdom: "The world Is Gods bequest to
mankind. All men are joint heirs to it,"
and 10 aver further that "men who can
not live and move and have their being,
without the leave Of others, cannot be
equally free with those others" The
popular ear Of the nineteenth century
cannot stune itself to the clarion note of
this scientific colossus, who points them
to the blight within their bloom. This
being the case when men like Henry
George, Edward Bellamy and others
come forward to announce what they
think to be the remedy, they have but
the dead ear Of prejudiced old fogyism
into which to speak. The same with our
new political movement. Why is all
this? Is 1t because there is strong and
logical and sequential argument to prove
the right Of one man, could he command
the capital, to buy hemisphere and con-
vert it into q sterile promonotory, fore
Ing It's sometime inhabitants to the other
side of the planetH By no means. No
one, unless paid therefor, would think
for moment of claiming the tenability
Of such hypothesis; for the admission
Of the right OF man to purchase hemi-
sphere and to crowd It's denizens upon
the other, would conclusively imply his
right to buy both hemispheres and crowd
the entire population out of tangible ex-
istence. There Is no sane individual
who cannot see this, nor who lacks the
power, II he chooses to exercise II, to
perceive that the ordinary ownership of
land presents hereto only difference of
degree, and not one Of kind. Who but
can see the force Of Spencer's remark,
"It Is manifest that no one, or part of
them may use the earth In such way as
to prevent the rest from similarly
using It; seeing that to do this is to as
sumo a greater freedom than the rest
and consequently break the law" The
law here referred to Is that each man has
freedom to do all that he wills provided

INCOMING AGE.
To me Editor Of THE ADvOCAFE:

one by which all social and industrial
problems must be solved, is the ire
pEessible conflict between right and
wrong; between justice and injustice, al
all times, among all people, in all Coun-
ties, which will never cease; which can
never be successfully represSed by COM
promise; which will continue TO wage
until right and justice shall be triumph
antly enthroned as the sovereign ruler OF
the peoples. And by the term, "the peo-
Piles" is comprehended not the inhabi-
tants of o state, Of country, Of q .conti-
nent, of a hemisphere, but of the world.
Any proposal for reform that does not
rest upon the fatherhood Of God and the
brotherhood of man must fall short and
fail. Right and justice are universal and
must come to rule universally; as uni
versally as man inhablts the earth.
What is wrong as between individuals
is also wrong as between nations. A ma
tion can no more prosper at the expense
Of another than an individual at the ex-
penSe Of another Individual. What one
person or class Of persons detalns from
another without rendering an equivalent
Is robbery; whether it Is by stealing
direct, by driving a sharp trade, by in
terest, rents or profits, by the terms OF
law, by the decisions Of events, or by the
arbitration of natlons-there Is no differ
ence between taking cent and taking a
continent. The above propositions are
self-evident and need no argument to
sustain them. 1t Is only necessary,
therefore, to determine what are equlva-
lents in order to establish basis for the
the settlement Of ell questions of right
and wrong; all questions Of justice and
and injustice. Like causes produce like
results. This we have known through
out the past ages and still we have
poverty, disease and crime among US.
Then can we combat the effect without
abOllshing the causeP II all persons
were born and raised under the same
conditions, and were surrounded by the
same influences, they would be alike In
all things. That they are not 80 born,
reared and surrounded ls determined by
circumstances over which the individual
has no control; that is to say that one
IL born to luxury and another to poverty;
that one inherits the talnt OF crime and
another the perfume Of goodness; that
one Is feeble and frall and another robust
and strong is no choice Of the individual,
hat Ia determined by q multiplicity Of
causes 30 broad and complicated as to
involve the entire population Of this
globe. That is to say, further, that il
one person, by his superior capacity and
and opportunity, secures to himself all
the comforts and luxurles OF life, all the
posts Of honor and preferment that his
neighbor fails to reach, It is not TO be
placed to his credit, since his superior
capacities and opportunities are not to be
credited to him, but to circumstances Of
his birth, education and surrounding In
fuences. Justice Is all sided; It takes
into consideration everything that Is In
volved in the subject Of q question. Now
what is justice between individuals,
whose circumstances Of birth, education
and surroundings consign them wholly

SAN MARCOS, Tex, March 1.-THE
Snyder trial is still in progress. The
witnesses for the state have all been exam
ined, but the defendant has few witnesses
that will be called up to- morrow. The de-
fendant's counsel is attempting to prove
that he is insane. The court house is
packed every day, a large number of ladies
being in attendance. Intense interest pre-
walls and the trial is about the only topic
of discussion among the people. Snyder is
in the court house all the time during the
proceedings.
He is very nervous but pays close atten-
ton to the witnesses and is on the alert to
discover any hing that may be used in his
favor. The jury is composed Of good men
who will doubtless be guided alone by the
law and evidence.

PROTECTION VS.. FREE TRADE.


PARIS, March 17.-Apropos of the
present tariff agitation De Motinari
editor of the journal Des Economists and
well known advocate of free trade principle:
said to correspondent of the Associale ed
Press
"There is complete reaction in France
in favor of protect'o on in bo,h chambers.
The Protectionists have very strong ma
jority. 1t is true that at least two mem
bers of the present ministry, M. Rouvier,
minister of finances, and NJ. Guyot,
minister of public works, are pronounced
free traders, but they can do nothing for
he cause. The step that parliament
is about to take will hurt
France enormously. Oar manufacturers
see no further than the end of their noses.
p'otectionists spirit has always existed in
France.
Mr. Courcell Cpnevil, member of the In
stitute, said: II am persuaded that the
tariff which is now being prepared Is no
destined to remain in force for very long
period. The example of the United State:
IN its recent legislation has had great in .
Auence in France, but if America should
now yeer round in the direction of free
trade it's action would probably determine
a similar movement in France"
