donald was intended for publication

ST. PAUL, Aug. 2, 1893.
EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
In your last issue you assume that
| will engage in controversy with
your correspondent, Mr.. Burke, in re-
lation to Mr.. Hill and the Great Nor
them railway. In this you are mis-
taken. Because corrected misstate-
ments as to how Mr.. Hill and his as
sociates acquired the railroads which
were the nucleus or beginning of
that system, is it just to assume that
I have become the defender of all
that the Great Northern manage
ment have done since? What | said
cannot be successfully contradicted
or disputed, and you concede this in
your editorial reference to the sub
ject.
| retired from our state legislature
in 1876, and have had nothing to do
with the investigation or legislative
control of the railroads of our state
since then; and know nothing about
the charges made against Mr.. Hill, or
other railroad officials, except what
[ have seen in the newspapers; and
therefore l cannot, personally, deny
or affirm as to them. simply stated
facts within my knowledge, bearing
upon how Messrs. Hill, KittsOn, and
their associates acquired those railroad
properties, and gave the last decision
of the court in the Farley suit. I
did this because believed it was
nothing more than just and right,
and that fright wrongs no man."
If your readers see fit to believe
others, who state differently, they
can do so. I decline to engage in
any such controversy.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, in the
last issue of the REPRESENTATIVE,
irrefutably proves the unconstitu-
tionality and infamy of the recent
decision of the supreme court up
holding the lumber combines; shows
that it is a palpable violation of the
constitution and the antitrust law,
and roasts the treacherous judges
until their blackness stands like a
cloud and pail before the vision of all
the people of the state. In the
meantime, with few brave and
honorable exceptions, the old party
organs and old party slaves are mum,
or continue to fiddle, like Nero,
while the citadels of the peoples lib
critics are being wrecked and Destroy
ed and the molochs of monopoly are
plundering the spoils from their
ruins.-Albert Lea Standard.

A. f. BROoMHALL.

The statement in Mr.. BrOOmhall's
former letter to which exception was
taken in our comment was that ''all
monopolies rest upon land monopoly"
The editorial comment alluded to
was prefaced with this statement:
"We desire to invite attention to
another force that appears to affect
wages, under existing conditions, IN
dependently Of land monopoly"
Note that we neither defend land
monopoly nor deny it's baleful influ-
ence upon the prosperity Of the wage
Garner. We only point out the fact
that money monopoly seems to act in
dependently to lower wages and pro-
duce distress.
Referring to the illustration used by
our correspondent: Suppose the sys-
tenn of taxing land values existed in
St. Paul; that under it's operation
the burden of taxation rested equita-
bly, upon the people and there was
an equitable distribution of wealth.
Then il half the money Of the people

In Ohio it was in ten years, from

evils of money monopoly, let it not
be thought we seek to disparage our
argument concern
ing the evils of land monopoly; our
contention is simply that money mo-
nopoly is a separate force that acts

a twin evil that our single tax friends
should not ignore, especially as OF
the two, 1T is the more immediate.
