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 mora
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 I
manifest d. in the flesh. Mr.. Post is
either ignorant of the natur1
and functions of money, or he
is an adjunct of Cleveland's campaign
of educstiun"-a side-tracker of the
popular movement that threatens the
existence of money monopoly. If the
latter is the ease, as the writer be-
ieves, Mr. Cleveland and the money
monopoliste 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 tho money

Land and money are alike in their re-
lations to man in being by nature the
common property OF the people. Lana
is mans heritage from nature and is
necessary to his animal existence.
Money is no less necessary to his exist
ence as IA civilized being. it. is born OF
the necessity for medium of exchange
which the subdivision Sf 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 noe money for
the same reason be held and used for
the benefit of all? Under the Roman
republic there We're three several divi-
sions of land among the citizens, taking
from the landlords and giving to the.
users. Three times the ownership o.
land was by money monopolists central
lied into the hands of a few.
Rent is interest for land: interest i:t

the workingmen but others who feared
for their lives. has decided to grant
universal suffrage, or practically So.
In view of the action of the deputies
the labor leaders resolved at meeting
held last evening to advise the aban-
donment of the general strike.
The agitation had been rapidly as
suming the dimensions of general in
surrection, and the dread of terrible
uprising of the people similar to that of
the French revolution in it's resistless
rage against privilege and power. had
the effect of bringing the chamber of
deputies around to the popular side.
There is no doubt in many minds that
had the chamber not acted promptly
there would have been a revolution in
Brussels.
At the meeting at which the labor
leaders decided to advise the abandon
ment of the general strike it was also
decided to issue to the people mani
