WOrkmen and the Courts.

1t is mistake TO say the courts are
always against labor and the poor. A
notable exception is the decision Of
Judge EmerySpeer, at Macon, Georgia,
which reads as follows:
The court then says that the power
of the court has always, on proper oc-
casions, been exercised to protect the
properties under its control from the
damaging and unlawful results of a
strike of the laborers IN its employ.
Certainly 1t follows, then, that it is in
the power of the court, in the interest
of public order and for the protection
of the property under its control to
direct suitable arrangement with its
employees or officers to provide compen-
satiOn and conditions and to avoid
If possible, and interruption of their
labor and duty which VIII be disaster
Gus to the trust and injurious to the
public. There is no reason why the
receiVorship in this respect should be
conducted in manner different from

full and prosperous methods of the
country. Many of these contracts. or
schedules, are in evidence. We are
satified from the facts that such ar
engagements under proper restrictions
are praisewOrthy and beneficial to both
parties, and We, therefore, shall no
longer hesitate to direct the receiver TO
enter into an appropriate contract, or
schedule of rates and regulations, with
the engineers. The contract, however.
will not be restricted to members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, although membership of that
order is, and will be, no disqualification
to service on railroads Under the con
troll OF this court so long as the rules
and regulations of the order are treat.
ed as subordinate to the law of the
land. The contract will comprehend
all engineers employed by the receiver
whether members or non members OF
the brotherhood"
AS you read this ask yourself how
much more power it would require
how much harder 1t would be for the
government to run the railroads itself

LAND AND MONEY.
Rent is Interest For Land-Interest i,
ont

Rent is Interest For Land-Interest 10
Rent For Money.
Land monopoly and money monopoly
are the twin evils that threaten the
destruction of civilization. That either
is tolerated is one of those anomalies in
human nature that are the constant
wonder of the student 1t is still more
remarkable that one who has an intel
lectual conception of the evil of one
could be ignorant or Indifferent about
the other. Mr.. Post, the single-tax
lecturer, is that anomalous condition
| manifest in the flesh. Mr.. Post is
| either ignorant of the nature
and functions of money, or he
is an adjunct of Cleveland's campaign
of education"-a side-tracker of the
popular movement that threatens the
existence Of money monopoly. If the
latter is the case, as the writer be-
lieves, Mr.. Cleveland and the money
monopolists are playing with edged
tools when they tackle the single-tax
question. Analysis results always in
the interest of truth if all the factors
are considered. What the money
monopolists fail to give their cam
paign of education lecturers in the
way of material the peoples party will
supply.
Land and money are alike in their re-
lations to man in being by nature the
common property of the people, Land
is mans heritage from nature and is
necessary to his animal existence.
Money is no less necessary to his exist
ence as civilized being. 1t is born of
the necessity for a medium of exchange
which the subdivision of labor has
rendered necessary. 1t is as much the
result of population as is the ''unearned
increment on land. If the unearned
increment belongs to the people, because
they made it,why should not money for
the same reason be held and used for
the benefit of all? Under the Roman
republic there were three several divi-
sions of land among the citizens, taking
from the landlords and giving to the
users. Three times the ownership of
land was by money monopolists central
lied into the hands of few.
Rent is interest for land: interest is
rent for money. Interest is the chief
means by which labor is kept from land

Coldwater Star: The official mouth
piece of Chester L. Long-the Medicine
Lodge Cresset-says: Kansas does not
need railroad legislation to the extent
of either the Greelee or pop. BILL 1t
would be hard matter to find repub-
lican newspaper that sincerely admits
we need any railroad legislation st all
after the railroad assistance the party
received in the last campaign. When
the people understand that Santa Fe
legislation has been governing Kansas
for the past dozen years. they will be
loath to listen to the above quoted Ian
guage. We have no personal malice
against the Santa Fe, but we do oppose
its political practices. The Rock Is
land, Missouri Pacific and other great
railroad systems of Kansas have not
dragged their business relations into
politics, and there is little excuse for
the Santa Fe engenderiug the political
hatred that it has. Notwithstanding
all this there is no legitimate reason
for Kansas paying 40 to 30 per cent.

Kansas City Star: The Santa Fe
strikers make the same mistake that
has been made by many other strikers
many times before-that of supposing
that no workmen can be found compe.
tent to take their places. This is very
large and very populous world, and
there is very large number of men
to whom daily work means daily bread,
and no work means going without it.
The census of this class as such has
never been taken, but experience has
shown that from il may always be re
cruited force 10 do anything from fill
ing the ranks of an army to filling a
shop. Men can always be found TO
perform any work from rushing into
the imminent and deadly breach,u to
undertaking any industrial enterprise
if they are paid for it, and they will
brave any amount of ostracisEa, insult
or danger for the pay" Yes they make
the mistake workmen have been max
ing for 10, these many years. They vote
one way aud strike The other, and votes
are more powerful than strikes.

Salina, Kans., is receiving many
compliments for the manner in which
they saved the life of poor negro,
charged with assaulting a white wo-
man. The charge is probably mis-
taken one and few determined citizens
with the help of the militia rescued the
intended victim and stood off the mob.
Salina is no friend to mob law. By
the way, Salina is good place, central
ly located, for the capitol of Kansas.

THE IDOL OF GOLD.

The Masses of the People VIII Not Much
Longer Fall Down and Worship the Cold
en- Calf.
Under our existing system of finance
the value of our circulating medium
depends upon our ability to redeem it
in gold ON the demand of the holder,
In the last analysis, under this system,
every dollar of debt is demand for a
dollar in gold on the demand Of the
creditor. The people may possess I'M
limited stores of all the necessaries,
comforts and Injuries of life and still
not be able to cancel paltry debt of a
few dollars, unless they have coined
gold to pay it with. To obtain the
gold they must sell their actual wealth,
without which existence is impossible,
to that class of people who can COM
mand gold. This system enables the
holders of gold to fix the price of every
other form of wealth and thus dictate
the conditions under which the pro-
ducers of wealth are permitted to live.
But for this absurd, illogical and OPP
pressive superstitution, which makes
every other form of wealth de-
pendent upon gold, the abso-
lutte and total destruction of
that metal would be no seri-
Gus loss to the great producing
and distributing interests of the world.
Our fields would still bring forth their
abundance, labor and skill would still
convert the raw material into forms of
utility, comfort and luxury and no one
would feel the loss And yet in this,
the closing decade of the nineteenth
century, we are still absolutely at the
mercy of gold, relic of the sun wor-
ship of the olden time, prehistoric
superstition. We still yield an OBJ
sequious obedience to the demands OF
this relic of barbarism, as abject as that
