LAND MONOPOLY.
Untaxed Occupancy and Use Should BE the
Only Title to Land.

Untaxed Occupancy and Use Should BE the
Only Title to Land.
The natural resources of the United
States are simply gifts of the Creator to
all the people. The object of govern
ment should be to secure to all, from
the highest to the lowest their inalien-
able right to share in these bounties of
God. The poorest man who drags his
weary limbs through city streets or
along the country roads looking for
work is the equal of any other man so
far as his natural right to develop
wealth and share in its productions is
concerned. This is what jefferson
meant when he said that all men
are created equal" and this is what
the peoples party mean when
they declare that the land, in
Guiding all natural resources of wealth,
is the heritage of the people, and should
not be monopolized for speculative pur-
poses" The resources of this country.
which do not owe their existence to
either the hand, or the brain of man,
are capable of supplying labor with
work and wealth--there are not men
enough in the state of Missouri to de-
velop her resources-and yet the state
contains thousands of men who cannot
find work for their hands to do.
The land and that contained
within it was created for use
not for speculation. But the laws
permit some men to take possession Of
these natural opportunities of labor and
hold them out of use, while the nation
swarms with idle men. 1t is this that
in thousands of instances drives the
farmers sturdy boys into the cities to
compete with their fellows for jobs in
the factories; or forces them to beg of
landlord the privilege of tilling his fields,
as the despised peasants of France did
before the revolution.
Landlordism is not only I'M American,
it is unnatural 1t sent Rome into her
grave-her statesmen, her philosophers,
her poets, her learning and her wealth,
concentrated in the hands of few,
could not save her, after her farmers
had become tenants-"great estates

Land monopoly, and land monopoly
alone, drives the poor of Europe across
the sea in the hope Of finding in free
America, easy access to land" And the
aristocrat of Europe has come to our
shores as well as the honest poor, and
has laid his fatal hand upon American
soil to the extent of millions of acres,
and is prepared, whenever the emer-
gency comes, to introduce the scenes of
Ireland. Landlordism, whether Of for
eign or domestic origin, must GO"
The producing class of this great
country, rural and urban, must dwell

place the humblest family that lives

bones, no flesh. 1t has no muscular or
ganization, no menacing cry, no breast
plate, no horn, no dart, no claw, no
tail with which to hold or bruise, no
cutting fins, Or wings with nails, no
prickleS, no sword, no electric dis
charge, no poison, no talons, no beak,
no teeth. Yet he is, of all creatures,
the most formidably armed.
What then is the devil-fsh? 1t is the
sea vampire.
The above is but partial description
of this terrible monster of the deep. He
says it is with the sucking apparatus
that it attacks. The victim is oppressed
by vacuum drawing at numberless
points; it is not clawing or biting,
but an Undesirable specification.
A tearing of the flesh is terrible, but
less terrible than the sucking of the
blood. Claws are harmless compared
with the horrible action of these natural
air-cups. The muscles swell, the fibers
of the body are contorted, the skin
cracks under the loathsome oppression,
the blood spurts out and mingles hor-
ribly with the lymph of the monster,
which clings to its victim by innumer-
able hideous mouths. The hydra in
corporates itself with the man: the
man becomes one with the hydra. The
specter lies upon you; the tiger can
only devour you; the devil-fsh, horri-
BILE! sucks your life blood away. No
one can read the description of the
devil-fsh but with a feeling of loath-
ing and disgust, and can but wonder
why nature created such a horrible
monster. But there is an ideal octopus
or devil-fsh of mans creation that is
far more terrible. The natural devil
flsh preys upon individuals that fall
within its grasp. The ideal devil-fsh
has its home in London, and has thrown
out its tentacles over all the nations of
the earth and is slowly but surely suck
ing the life blood out of all the people
OF the earth. Its body is credit, its only
motive is avarice, its weapon is usury.
1t has extended its credit into all the
nations in which it could get footing.
and with its only weapon (usury) it is
gorging its insatiate appetite with gold
its only food.
The great mass of the people in
every nation are compelled by necessity
to incessant suffering and toll from the
cradle to the grave to procure gold with
which to feed the accursed monster.
Look at the picture of the monster on
our first page, with its arms stretched
out to the utmost ends of the earth.
armed with a thousand tentacles, each
one pointed with its terrible weapon
'usury," which like the air cups of the
living devil-fsh, with which it sucks
the blood of its victims, sucks the life
blood OF nations money from all ma
lions, depriving them of the strength
to resist the attacks Of the great enemy
of labor tcredit).
Credit implies usury, that is, interest,
and all usury falls, eventually, upon
labor, and reduces the laboring classes
to the lowest depths of poverty, and
enriches and pampers the bloated
usurer.
The great English devil-fsh is draw
ing from almost every nation, all of its
gold for usury, and this gives it mon
opoly OF the gold of the world; and all
nations for the purpose of sustaining
